Judge Promptly Saw the Point in Pol
ltlelan's Advice.
One of the most hospitable citizens
OF Sioux Falls was Judge Fuller OF
the Supreme Court He was intro.
duced to the presidents attention
with the following incident Of his
career:
The judges made strong campaign
to get the legislature to raise their
salaries. The bill met with great op-
position. Judge Fuller, who had no
small political influence, went up to
Pierre to see about it. He was met
by one of the leaders of the party.
'How about this thing?" said the
Judge.
Judge" said the other politician.
gravely, "you better drop this salary
business. l tell you as a friend. You
don't want it to go through. 1t is not
in your interest"
''Why amt it?"
Don't you see, judge" explained
the politician, that if we put the sal
aries of the judges up to the figure
you want, the people will turn around
and elect real lawyers to the bench"
The point of the story is that the
judge dropped the amendment at
once-New York Sun.

valuable lesson in hygiene through a
sister teacher who says: about a
year ago I had my first attack Of poor
health and it seemed a terrible thing
to me for I had always been so well
and strong. My stomach distressed
me terribly; it seemed like it was
raw, especially after breakfast, and
it would burn and hurt me so l could
not rest. I was soon convinced that
it was caused by coffee drinking and
at the request Of friend 1 gave up
coffee and began to use Postum COT
fee.
"The change in my condition was
something marvellous. 1 had actually
given up teaching because doctors
were unable to help my stomach trou-
BILE but since l quit coffee and used
Postum my troubles have disappear
ed and 1 have gone to teaching again.
Some time ago 1 attended a con-
vention at Oklahoma City and I de-
termined to have Postum at my
clearinghouse where there were
eight other teachers, four Of them
suffering from coffee sickness. My
landlady did not make the Postum
right, but I showed her how and we
all found it delicious. We all drank
it the rest of the time we were there
and the young ladies in question felt
much better and declared that their
heads were much clearer for study
and their general health much i'm
proved. I have their names if you
care for them" Names furnished by

NEW YORK-When the Interstate

adjourned to enable him to prepare
statements for the federal court re-

William H. Truesdale, president of

was put on the witness stand and ex-
planned that clause in his company's
charter gave it authority to own and
operate mines.
He was questioned at length as to the

impossible. There were 1,5O0 excur-

twice that number of local Poles, who

Those behind pushed and showed the

ever of the approach of the Grand

and the bell was not ringing.

Bear Worshlpers in japan.

The queerest and perhaps the old
est people of the earth are the Amos
the bear idolators, who are found in
the Japanese islands of Koyriles, Sab
kalino and chiefly in Yezo or Hon
naido. They number not more than
$4,000 souls in all and they are fast
disappearing. They have the broad
nose and the oblique eyes which char.
acterize the Chinese and Asiatic races
generally, but there the resemblance
ends. The Amos are a large and
powerful people, straight as an arrow.
All the Amos declare they sprang
from the Great White Dog-the bear
and princess of the south. The
bear is their chief god.

THE EXPOSITION.
President Receives and Dedicates the
Grounds,


ST. LOUIS-The rites which pres
ent the Louisiana Purchase, exposition
to the world were performed in the
Liberal Arts building Thursday with
all the dignity and splendor befitting
such an occasion.
A parade of 1000 soldiers down Lin
! dell boulevard to the Worlds fair
grounds formed a brilliant prelude
to the ceremony of dedication.
This prelude over. $4,000 people
were crowded into the big auditorium
where, in the presence of official rep
| resentatives of all the civilized ma
tions of the world, the words of dedi-
cation were spoken by the president
of the United States. AS the last
syllable fell from the presidents lips,
and as the words of dedication were
completed, $4,000 voices rose in a pro-
| digious bass note of applause.
Following the invocation of the
cardinal, former United States Sena-
tor Thomas H. Carter of the national
commission, who acted as presi-
dent of the day, was introduced, ana
made a. speech.
After the rendition of ''The
Heavens Proclaiming," by the chorus
of 1000 voices, David R. Francis,
president of the fair association, de-
livered an address, presenting the
buildings of the fair.
At the close of President Francis
address terrific cheers broke to greet
President Roosevelt, whose dedication
address was, in part, as follows:
THE work of expansion was by far
the greatest work of our people dur
ing the years that interviewed between
the adoption of the constitution and
the outbreak of the civil war
Never before had the world seen
the kind of national expansion which
gave our people all that part of the
American continent lying west of the
thirteen original states; the greatest
landmark in which was the Louisiana
purchase.
when our forefatners joined 10 call
into being this action, they undertook
task fer which there was but little
encouraging precedent. The develop
ment of civilization from. the earliest
period seemed to show the truth of
two propositions: In the first place, it
had always proved exceedingly diff
cult to secure both freedom and
strength in any government; and in
the second place, it lad always proved
well-nigh impossible for nation to
expand without either breaking up or
becoming centralized tyranny"
The exercises closed by benedic-
ton by Bishop Potter of New York.
At the conclusion of the speeches, be-
ing the Tooth anniversary of the sign
ing OF the treaty which transferred
the Louisiana purchase from France
to the United States. centennial |
salute of aerial guns was fired.

thirty more. The majority of the
killed and wounded are from
Toledo. Fifteen hundred Polanders
from Toledo came up to Detroit
In the morning on a special Lake

The Lake Shore tracks run out De-

to stop for the Toledo excursionists
at Canfeld street at $3.50 o'clock. Ac-
companied by hundreds of their local
friends, waiting for the train, the ex-
cursionists jammed Garfield street
some time before the train was due
in readiness for it. When the train
was sighted the crowd pushed across
the track and onto the Grand Trunk
tracks, which adjoin those of the Lake
s Shore, just as the Grand Trunk Pan
American flyer came laundering in
from the west. The people were
thrown into the air and dashed to eth
er side of the track
Many of them were ground under
the wheels. The police department
was notified and all the ambulances in
the city rushed to the scene The vic
tins were scattered along the track
for a distance of two blocks.
Lanterns were procured and the
work of rescue began Immediately.
The scene reflected by the light of
the lanterns was horrible. Gradually
the mangled and crushed were recov-
cred and sent to the hospitals, where
there was flicker of life, and to the
morgue when there was none.
At 8 o'clock the police had identi-
fed four of the dead.
