A Good Thing.

German Syrup is the special prescrip-
ton of DR.. A. Boschee, celebrated Ger
man physician, and is acknowledged to
be one of the most fortunate discoveries
in medicine. It quickly cures coughs,
colds and lung troubles OF the severest
nature, removing, as it does, the cause of
the affection and leaving the parts in q
strong and healthy condition. It is net
an experimental medicine, but has stood
the test of years, giving satisfaction IN
every case, which its rapidly increasing
sale every season confirms. Two million
bottles sold annually. Boschee's German
Syrup was introduced in the United States
in 1868, and is now sold in every town
and village in the civilized world. Three
doses will relieve any ordinary cough.

Northern Men in Southern Army.

The following is, credited to Ex-
Judge T. j. Mackey:
A celebrated countryman of ours
while minister in Constantinople was
informed by Turkish official that
converted Christians wore the tallest
turbans.
This was the Turks epigrammatic
way of explaining the radical char
acteristics of the renegade Christian
In the Confederacy the Northern
men who cast their fortunes with us
were similarly distinguished by their
radicalism or the accompanying char
acter of their hostility to the Union.
It is surprise, but it is fact we'll
known to students of our civil war
that Northern men in the service of
the Confederacy bore names known
from enc to end of the Confederate
states by reason of their gallant and
distinguished service, both in the beld
and at the council board.
For instance, Gen. Kirby Smith,
commander of the trans Mississippi
department, was born and reared in
Connecticut. Gen. Pemberton, who
so heroically defended Vicksburg, was
a Maine Yankee. Major Gen. Gustavus
w. Smith, a native OF New York, at
the breaking out of the war street
commissioner of the metropolis re-
signed his position and came South,
where he had command of the First
corps, G. S. A.
Gen. S. Cooper, adjutant general of
the Confederate army, and the senior in
rank of Gen. Robert E. Lee, was
Pennsylvania. He ranked Lee at the
close of the war, and in the federal
army before the war he also ranked
the great Confederate commander, he
having been adjutant general OF the
United States army.
The chief ordinance officer OF the
Confederate army, Gen. Gorgas, was
Connecticut Yankee, while the mayor
of New Orleans at the close of hostili-
ties was Massachusetts, man named
Munroe, who was so radical and slnre-
concilable that the federal authorities
had to imprison him. Gen. Lovel.
who fought Butler at New Orleans, was
also native of Massachusetts, and a
major General in the Confederate
army.

In authorizing it's gigantic scheme
of irrigation Congress did SO on an
rigated at cost of s5 an acre. It now
developes that the cost will be at least
s12 an acre, and perhaps more. The
estimate of So, it is recalled by a
student of this question, was based
in part on the cost of irrigation by
private companies, and it is now dis
covered that private companies have
secured all the sites where cheap ir
rigation can be practiced. President
Roosevelt told Congress before it act
ed that private capital to the amount
of 5000, 900, 600 had been invested in
irrigation. 1t is the expensive and
unprotita BILE part that has been left for
the Government. - And this was the
one practical policy which the Presi-
dent induced the late Congress to put
info effect.

Miss Cross, of Carbondale, ILL.,, who
crossed this continent and the Pacific
to marry her fellow in Manila, has
been married and will no longer be
Cross.
There seems to have been an advance
in the prices charged by members OF
the British nobility for marrying
American heiresses. The earl of Var
mouth has broken off his engagement
with young lady of Pittsburg be-
cause the latter's mother would not,
at the request of the earl, raise the
young lad US income after the marriage
above twenty-five thousand dollars.
The prospective mother-ln-law seemed
to think that that income was enough
for a British lord, taking into con-
sideration the present supply, and she
so told his lordship. The result OF
such bold language on the part Of this
lady may have serious effect on the
prospects of Amerian heiresses who
are in the market to purchase titled
husbands. We would not be surprised
to hear in the near future of the form
alton Of a combination among the
titled bachelors to run up their prices.
Then there will be wailing and gnash-
ing of teeth among those who can
afford only to pay present prices.-Wll-
mington Messenger.

R0OSEVELT's FIRST SPEECH
In His Sc Day EIsetionsering Tour.
Made an LII. D. in Chicago.

Chicago, April president Roose-
yelt,s 66-day tour of the west began in
earnest here today when he stepped
from the Pennsylvania special at s. "a
O'Clock and was received by Mayor
Harrison and special reception COM
mittee not to mention huge crowd
which made its unofficial presence
known by cheers which could be heard
across the river. As soon as the cars
could be switched the presidential
party started for Evanston, where the
president addressed the students OF
Northwestern university on the value
of college education. The party re-
turnedsto the auditorium for luncheon.
After luncheon the presidential party
went to the. University Of Chicago in
carriages. At the quadrangle approach
to the university grounds, the presi-
Dental party was met by the faculty
and trustees in cap and gown and led
by President Harper. The president
was escorted to Kent theatre, where
President Harper conferred the degree
of LII. D. President Harper handed
the president diploma and directed
that the Doctors hood" be placed
upon his shoulders. The president
spoke no word, but bowed in acknow-
ledgment of the honor conferred. AS
the procession emerged from the theatre
the university band played national
airs and deafening college yells greet
ed the president.
At the head Of a convocation process
sion, in which the young women OF
the college participated, the president
made his way to the site Of the new
law school building, where prepara-
tions had been made for him to lay the
cornerstone. An immense stone,
weighing seven tons, was ready to be
lowered in place. President Roosevelt,
trowel in hand, gave the signal, and
as the huge mass settled upon its
foundation he cast small quantity OF
mortar beneath it. The presidential
party then returned to the city.
As soon as his voice could be heard,
Mr.. MacVeagh in a few words an
nonnced that the nations chief execu-
tive would be made welcome to the city
by Mayor Harrison, who then spoke
briefly, extending to the president a
hearty welcome and expressing the
pleasure felt by the people of Chicago
at his visit, and offering him their
best wishes for a happy and pleasant
trip during his two months of vaca-
tion.
The president bowed his thanks tc
Mayor Harrison, and to Mr.. Mac
Veagb, who introduced him to his
audience, and expressed MS pleasure
at the cordial reception extended him
at the first stop on his long trip and
then, turning directly to the audience
in front of him, proceeded in his
spectacular, energetic manner to de-
liver his address. The address through.
out was received in the most cordial
manner. The address was as follows:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men: Today wish to speak to you,
not merely about the Monroe doctrine,
but about our entire position in the
western hemisphere position SC

It's reported from Florida and south
Georgia that the manufacture of paper
from pine saw dust is very promis-
ing industry in that section. Great
things are expected from the develop
ment of the industry. It looks like a
golden opportunity for the south,
when spruce pine, from which most
of the paper is being made sells for
sS cord and sawdust is given away
by the mills The first enterprise in
this country to show that our pine
could be used to make paper was the
very excellent mill at Hartsville, and
if there is going to be any windfall
for the south in the use of pine saw
dust the Hartsville mill ought to have
it's need of praise. 1t is said that a
newspaper in Florida is being printed
on stock made from pine saw dust and
that saw mill in the vicinity of the
paper mill has given all the sawdust
that could be used for many months.
Things are beginning to come our way.
