 q see that another search is being
 made for the Twilight City" said
 George Hoskins. of Omaha. the other day. When you talk of looking for buried treasure and hunting for the
 gold hidden by pirates, don't overlook the fact that out in the winding bed of the Missouri river is a bonaza which puts all the tales of Captain Kidd in the shade.
 Four hundred barrels of whiskey over fifty years old lie somewhere be- tween Omaha and St. Joseph, Mo, and the man who finds them will have a fortune for the rest of his days. It has been disputed that the whiskey has been improved by age as it is doubtful whether it has had a chance to evapo- rate sufficiently. But I would be will ing to take chances on it's quality, es- pecially as the romantic story of its loss and the attempts to find 1t would be sure to give it a good price.
 Along in 1S52 the Twilight City set out from Louisville with a cargo of whiskey and supplies for the Northwest. Gold hunters were making big strikes on both slopes of the Rockies, and pros pecters were willing to pay good prices for whiskey. The steamboat carried about as good brand of bourbon as ever went out of the Blue Grass State. She took on more supplies at St. Louis, ! and proceeded up the Missouri. Every thing went all right until the boat | passed St. Joseph. But one night the packet struck a snag and sank in the ! middle of the channel
 Ordinarily it would have been easy ! enough to recover the cargo of the | packet, but unusual conditions accom- panied the voyage of the Twilight City. The pilot did not know the river very well. There was danger of attack by | Indians, for it must be remembered that 1 fifty years ago Omaha. was nothing but
 a trading post. For this reason no inn mediate attempt was made to raise the
 boat. The shifting bed of the Missouri did the rest. A big freshet came in the | following spring, and the turgid stream
 selected a new channel, The owners
 thought they would be able to find | traces of their boat, but the quick sands had buried the packet until not even the snokestack was visible.

For years efforts have been made to find the Twilight City. Excavations have been made in the old bed and steam drills have been set to work over the spot where it was thought the yes- sel had gone down. Thousands of dollars have been spent searching. A month ago some capitalists who had been interested in a former effort to find the lost boat got trace of an old man who was cabin boy on the packet at the time she sank. He claimed to be able to show the position of the boat, and produced an old chart of the river which was in use fifty years ago, This syndicate expects to find the liquid treasure. whose value some are enthu- siastic enough to estimate at $500, LOCO p Newark Advertiser.

 Progress of a Century Has Changed
 the Former Into the Latter.
 A century ago the work of the mod ern surgeon would have been de- nounced by the theologians. who then ruled mankind, as audacious intrusions into the exclusive jurisdiction of God. Two centuries ago, or, at the furthest. three, the man of science who would take out the yisera of man, cut out their disease, and put them back would have been fortunate to escape the stake or the block. But the auda- cfous invader of the secrets of the body
 the beneficent healer who. with his phial or his knife, lessens the miseries of humanity, diminishes or destroys pain, prolongs life and smoothes its pathway to the grave-this is now the man who appeals most strongly to his fellow-beings. For him and his train ing the captains of industry are pour ing out their billions, buinding him col leges and laboratories, endowing pro- fessorships, while the world at large halls him as the man of power and in uence at time when wealth is accu- mulating and when men are not decay ing. More and more, very likely, we shall see the strong men of the college classes choosing medicine, although the time has not yetEeon1e for domination over the lawyer who is now engaged in settling the direction and the form in which the captains of industry shall carry on their development of the worlds wealth.

Some men die hard. One Rawlins, a colored man, was seized by a mob in
 Sunf1ower county, Mississippi, for al- leged criminal assault. An unusual ly energetic deputy sheriff ap- peared on the scene and res- cued him. Then mob No. came 7 on the scene and took him in hand. This
 mob carried him into wood and hang ed him. Then. too make sure of their work. they fired seventeen bullets into his body. An improvised autopsy sat- isfied the mob that Rawlins would never complicate the race issue further by anything he could do, and they left him lying in the woods. The next day the

New Orleans is engaged in forming Law and Order league of citizens. "The facts that were placed before Monday nights meeting" says the Picayune, s'show plainly that there are two brinci- pal tasks to which a law and order league in this city should address it. self One is the correction, reformation and elevation of public opinion in rela- tion to it's condoning of ordinary offen- ces, and it's evasion of jury duty. This Is the biggest task, and it may be taken for granted that when the people of this community are determined that a law shall be enforced, it will be, but while they are indifferent to it, viola tions will go on. The next serious task is to secure a sufficient increase of the police force and its adequate payment. The city can find money for many less important purposes, but there is no need so urgent as is that for an adequate po- lice sorce,"

That was curious diff1cultyin the way of ten young college graduates, natives of the Philippine Islands, who desired to become citizens of the United States When they went to declare their inten- ton to become naturalized they found that the prescribed forms contain an oath renouncing allegiance to the last sovereign to whom they were subject. Whose sovereignty were these Filipinos to pronounce? Not that of the Philippine Islands, for the only sovereignty there iis that of the United States. The United States district court at Pittsburg decid- ed that these young men should re- nounce their allegiance to the King of Spain, whose sovereignty over their isl- ands they had never admitted, to whom they contended they had never been subject, and who about four years ago surrendered such sovereignty as he had claimed.

At one time 1t looked as if the Board of Health of Chicago would get the death rate down to nothing. but people still die there. Pneumonia has reached almost epidemic proportions there. Of the 5,341 deaths from all causes in two months, 22 per cent, or 1,1S6, were from this cause. As many as four deaths have occurred in one family, and in one instance six friends who attended the funeral of a victim were fatally at- tacked.

The PRESIDENTIAL VISIT.

The visit of President Roosevelt to
Ottumwa more than filled the fond
est expectations of the men who had
the reception in charge and worked
out the details which made the great
event such grand success. The even
ing was ideal in every way for our
people to be on the streets and in the
mammoth tent where he spoke. The
arrangements were perfect, and moth
ing occurred to mar the proceedings
from start to finish The thousands of
people who crowded the streets formed
q quiet and orderly assemblage appre
ciative of the event which called them
from their homes, and what is due
from a people to their President.
President Roosevelt has long been
held as vigorous and progressive
type of American manhood. His visit
to Ottumwa has made him more popu-
lar, because the people have seen him
and heard him speak. The short
speech he delivered was full of patriot
lie thoughts and good advice. His ref
Z erence to the services of the gray
haired grand army men who occupied
seats in front of him was an eloquent
tribute to those grand old men. Every
word uttered by the President served
to increase the affection the people
have for him.
Now that the people have seen their
President they naturally have opin-
ions of his, personality they did not
possess before. They had read of him
and what he has accomplished for a
man of his age and admired the won
derful advancement he has made, but
never before had they the opportunity
to see and study him. 1t is safe to
say that the impression he has left ma
terially adds to his strength, and
makes him more the ideal man and
leader than ever.
The audience he addressed was com
posed of men of all shades of politica.
opinions, but he did not utter word
that would indicate his politics. He
stood before his large audience and
advocated only that which is good in
manhood and womanhood and patriot
ism to home and nation. 1t was a doc
trine all could subscribe to and admire
the man more for the thoughts he ex
