by the announcement that Mrs. Har-
mans father. Mr.. Charles Wesley

of his health. He was an intimate
friend and near neighbor of j. Ster-

Snanish- American War Veterans.

The survivors of the Spanish Amari
can war held meeting i'll the armo-y
last night for the purpose OF taking
action with a view to organization.
About 30 were present. w. Dosh Hol-
loway was made Chairman and j..
Beaver Gearhart, Secretary.
Since calling the meeting the fact
has been discovered that the local
camp, organized a couple of years ago,
is still in good standing. No attempt
at reorganization, therefore, was made.
The meeting adjourned to reconvene
on Wednesday evening of next week.
Considerable enthusiasm was mani
tested at tho meeting and it is not un'
likely that there will be larger turn
out next week and that the camp will
soon be in fourishing condition.

Regarded as Trespassers.

The following notices have been con-
spicuously posted at each end of the
South Danville station:
" Persons having no connection with
the company nor business with It's
agents lettering in or about the build
ing or platform will be considered as
trespassers and dealt with according
to law BY order of
L. W. ALLIBONE, Sup't. W
The effect of this notice it is believ-
ed will be to break up several practices
thoughtlessly INDUCED in about the
station which have proven great
nuisance. The only safe plan for per
sons to follow henceforth will he to
remain from the station unless they
have business there.

erent recommendations were taken up
the teachers belonging to the G AIDES
for which the books are designed were
called upon for an expression of opin-
ion concerning the merits of the series.
The following new books on the rec

tired and the School Board withdrew
to its own room and went into its reg
ular semi monthly session.

month, and that of Miss Welsh, a
JUNIOR secondary teacher, TO $38 per
month.

mining, which was recommended or
ten rooms. Two chemistry tables were
also recommended, which as the Board
figured it would cost considerably.

mittee on Building and Repairs was
adopted. In the matter of caloimining
it was decided that the Board purchase
the material and let out the work al
so that bids be invited for the latter.

Ooppersmiths Will Soon be Through

The tower of ST. Joseph's Catholic
Church when the sun shines takes on
quite resplendent appearance under
its new coat of copper sheeting. In
process of time the copper will lose its
lustre and the high dome will be a
less conspicuous object under the mid
day sun.
Only the dome and the cornice are
covered with copper; the tower below
those points will be protected with
shingles. The coppersmiths will soon
complete their work and the carpent
ers have a large portion of the tower
already shiugled.

Prosperity of California LEWIS.

In the great towns of California the
Jews lead. Much of the wealth of San
Francisco is owned by Jews, and the
names of the race may be seen OH every
important thoroughfare in that city.
The choicest residence district of Los
Angeles is almost entirely owned by the
Hebrews, in the midst of which they
have their beautiful synagogue, well sup
ported and attended by the principal He
brew families. Looking ut the names on
one principal thoroughfare it would
seem as If the entire street were CON
trOlled by the chosen people.
The Hebrew controls the new Ameri-
can ostrich feather industry, one of the
bonanzas of California. The California
wine business is almost entirely in the
hands Of Jews. The principal meat pack
ing houses are under the control of He
brews. The petroleum in southern Cali
fornia last year amounted to SI2. 500. 900;
many Of the leading oil brokers are
Jews, who have reaped rich harvest in
the last few years in this fortunate
speculation.
The largest wholesale s9ddlery, groc-
cry and tobacco firms of Los Angeles
are owned By Jews, as they are also in
San Francisco; they control the hop
trade, the tobacco trade, the clothing
trade, and very much Of the wholesale
drug trade. Fifty million dollars capt.
tai reposes in the banks Of Los Angeles
and the largest and most influential Of
these banks are controlled by Hebrews.

Goat Milk Free
From tuberculosis

New York, July ia special to the
Herald from Washington says: A. b.
EIulit of Missouri. who is in Washing
ton ON his way to Europe for cargo
of goats, proposes to reyolutlonize the
method of feeding infants. He has
been in Chicago, where, with the aid
of prominent physicians, he conducted
experiments which have convinced him
that tuberculosis cannot be transmitted
by goats milk. Hulit estimates that
about 20.000.000 goats will be required
to afford enough milk for the babies OF
the United States. There are about
100000 goats in the country. and he
is setting about the task of increasing
the number by 100000.
Hulit declares that IL the goat in
dustry could be established in the
United States II would give work to
more persons than are employed by the
United States Steel Corporation, and
there is fine profit TO be made in selling
goats milk at 10 cents quart.
