the WAR CLOUD IN EUROPE.

The war cloud that continually how
deeper tinge by the murder of the
Russian agent Stecherbina by an AL
banian soldier. This time the danger
OF a European war is great and INSIST
ent. Stecherbina was an active and
brilliant member of the Russian diplo-
matte force and one in high favor with
the Russian government. His murder
is more than likely to precipitate a
great and sanguinary war between Tur-
key and Russia and eventually result
in the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Turkish
empire. Russia and Austria have long
coveted Turkeys European possessions.
The murder of an accredited repre-
sentative of the Russian government
by one practically a member of the
Sultan's body guard may be considered
q just p.etext for a declaration of hos
tilities. War upon Turkey by any
European power has In it endless pos
sibilities of strife. The destruction of
the Maine caused war that lost
Spain her dominion in the new world.
The murder of Stecherbina may in
volve Europe in a struggle in compare
son to which the Spanish American
conflict would seem mere incident.
Sooner or later the war of dismem-
berment must come. 1t is irrepressible.
Russia has been preparing for 1t for
years. She wants the Bosphorus and
Graves control of the Mediterranean.
With all Russia's professions of de-
sire for peace and assumption to be
a leader in an unarmed European neu-
trality war has been expected and pre-
pared for by that nation. Russia needs
war as means toward unification.
War would for the time at least, bind
the Earring elements of the empire to-
gether and furnish an outlet for the
energies of the student faction now
engaged in Nihiiist propaganda.
While it is to be hoped that. war
may be ayerted, the dismemberment
Of the Turkish empire is consumma-
ton devoutly to be desired. Its only
excuse for existence has for years
been the difficulties in the way of its
absorption by Christian and more pro-
gressive nations. A European war
would be calamity, but the abolition
of Mohammedan rule and the reform
of the conditions which have made
Turkey reproach and eyesore. might
/ balance the account.

PLAYING WITH FIRE.
Huntington Hawkeye.l

Men and women toying with the
great verities of life, whose feet are
standing in slippery places, are having
in the Burdick and Mcdonald incidents
moral lessons preached to them more
startling in their effect that the most
highly wrought picturings of the NOV
elist. or the warning cries of the COM
bined pulpits of the world. In the
Burdick case he that runneth may read.
Not quite so clear is the suicide of the
brave English soldier, from whose
tragic death people turn with averted
gaze and with feelings of sadness akin
TO those created by the contemplation
of the ruin of a noble edifice. Enough
is known, however, to make 1t clear
that McDonald's steps had taken hold
upon death
The yielding for the moment to the
tempter had made the retracing of steps
already taken too late, and he took the
one awful chance to bury his disgrace
in suicides grave. 1t would be folly
to attempt to point men and women
long stepped in sin to the sure ending
of paths that diverge from the strict
line of virtue. Truths scoffed at as an
tiquated and worn out have strange
faculty of turning up in unexpected
moments with fresh point and em-
phasis to mock the shallow fool who
thought them but Pigments of the inn
agination. Playing with fire and get
ting burnt" is but a modern transla-
ton of the old truth, "the way OF the
transgressor is hard" 1t may not be
too late however, to point out to the
young and inexperienced the sure road
to happiness which lies in virtues

be built up only upon the foundation
pillars of truth, virtue and righteous

THE OLD VS.. NEW CURES.

Just at present three seems a faddish
i frenzy of new cures" for every dis
ease under the sun. Rest cures and
exercise cures for the same diseases;
water cures and cures where water is
prohibited either inside or out Cures
by walking barefoot thru the grass
and cures accomplished by hermeii-
cally sealing the subject in a glass cyl
tnder. There are cures by starvation
and others by means of rspletion; grape
cures, milk cures. cures by suggestion,
faith and fUolishness. An endless pro-
cession OF bejaped AMI cozened pa
tients drags itself from one quack to
another for tirs treatment of real on
imaginary disease.
The country is toured by agents of 4
multitude of so-called institutes" for
the treatment of disease. These agents
with more or f:ss correctness lay claim
to the title of specialist Verbose
and dkxtrous with technical terms of
the profession, they seek out chronic
cases of disease and promise cure. In
CRATER pure and simple. He holds
the terror of death above his victim and
offers a. way of escape via the particu-
lar "institute' he happens to represent.

falls into his clutches md is never at
a loss to furnish the symptoms as we'll
as the disease He knows that "all that
a man hath will he give for his life
and makes the most of his knowledge.
Quacks advertise on fences, In the
newspapers and load The mails with
their circulars. Patent preparations
set aside millions for advertising pur-
poses. 1t is a carnival of quacks and
all seem able to find victims.
Inyalidism has become a fad. Nine
tenths of the self-styled invalids today
who are absorbing medic ines and walk
ing about with this fore knowledge of
death in their eyes haze nothing seri-
are more imag inary than real. Those
who are really sick think they may be
abfa to repair years of excess and care
lessness in q week at the springs or at
some one of the multitu1inous cure es-
Establishments. No greater mistake was
ever made.
Thlare is no cure for ordinary Ills like
the big natural sanitarium Of all out
doors. A return to first principles and
the rough life of the primitive man is
better than all the nostri,ms of all the
quacks in the world. To live out in the
open air, the life of hunter, trapper
or fisherman for a month brings back

And the gold grew dim and the purple

Like an army with banners passed from

Will ts-flush go into the goldenrod.
Its thrill to the purple aster's nod.
It's crimson fieck the maple bough
And the autumn glory begin from now?
Deeper than flower fields sank the glow

It flushed all night in many dream:

1t gided into poets song;

It changed by the miracle none can see
To the shifting lights of q symphony.

The glory died on the shining slope,

NOTICE OF MULES TREACHERY.
The Western Missouri court of APP

that a mule is treacherous animal
and that so well known is this fact that

the mules nature as a defense. Bor-
den, who 1T appears worked for the
company, went beneath heavy ma

was hitched to the machine, and while
Borden was beneath it, the driver of the
machine was ordered by the superin-

help Borden. Thereupon the mules
started, and one of the machines
