FREEMAN KNOWLES.

We beg to acknowledge receipt Of the phamplet
containing the speech Of Hon. Freeman Knowles at
Sioux Falls. While there are many things which we
believe Mr.. Knowles paints in too lurid colors, we be-
lieve him to be as brilliant a speaker and as forcible a
writer as there is in the western country. There IS
one thing about Freeman Knowles; he is not afraid to
say what he thinks. Right or wrong that quality
raises him head and shoulders above all oily-faced pol
iticans, If you want a copy of the pamphlet, address
Mr.. Knowles at Deadwood.- Plaindealer.
The Union has not as yet been favored with Mr.. Knowles
literature. Weshoud like to see some of it. Judging from
what the socialist nominee for governor has written in the past
we judge his present efforts like his former would look we'll in
a museum along with horned toads, winged serpents and other
homogeneous things.
The P1a;ndea1er says Mr.. Knowle3 is 1urid and forcible.
No one can deny that. He is lurid and anarchistic enough to
suit the widest fanatic and his %n1isspent force landed him in
the depths Of political oblivion long ago. We cannot admit
however that he 'says what he thinks because he don't
think. If he could and would, common sense would cause him
to cease his senseless TRADE against anything and everything
sanctioned by law and order.

THE SPECIAL TRAIN.

The democrats are bound to criticise and raise a rurnpus
about something. Failing i'll other issues just now they are
worked up to a frenzy over the fact that the president has been
visiting digerent sections of the courtesy by special train fur
nished free by the railroad companies.
There is no secret about accepting this country. Harri-
son, Cleveland and Mckinley all did the same. 1t is a good
thing for the country to have the president visit different sec
lions and become familiar with their resources. His salary. is
so small it will not admit Of such expenditures. He cannot
travel on ordinary trains as too much time would be wasted.
IF he were kept housed up in Washington with politicians only
and could not meet the people themselves occasionally the
conntrys interests would undoubtedly suffer to some extent.
The private train matter may serve as an issue to those
who are crying for something to howl about, but the peoples
common sense will recognize its object and purpose.
PARKER AM HIS
The New York state democratic platform is a skillful ap-
peal to those who are opposed to President Roosevelt. The
rather vague references to what is termed the "1rperiallstic
acts of the administration were put in general terms and very
wisely SO as they may hold out some bait to the dissatisfied.
Judge Parker, the most probable candidate for president on
the democratic ticket is responsible for the platform. The
platform however is not any stronger because Judge Parker
made 1t for we know very little at present Of the man. We
are assured he is man Of fine character, and that as chief JUS
tice Sc the highest court Of New York state. he has performed
bis duties satisfactorily. There things are rot to his %discredit,
but can lie arouse the necessary. enthusiasm.

Powder Works Blew Tn.

Halifax, N. S., Dec PA portion
of the Acadia Powder Co.'s works at
Waverly, ten miles from this city,
blew up Monday and the conclusion
shook the country and broke windows
for twenty miles around. Fortunately,
no one was killed or seriously in
jured, although about twenty of the
employees who had just left the powder
works when the explosion took place
were blown violently to the ground
and stunned. The plant is situated a
mile outside of Waverly, yet every
window in the town was broken and
many people on the streets were cut
by the shower of broken glass. The
property loss at the Acadia works is
estimated at $4,000 The explosion
was in small building known as the
dry house, in which about ton Of
powder was stored, and is believed to
have been due to overheating.

COUNTED AS VICTORY
Is Cars Ukase by Russian conserva.
tive Liberals.

St, Petersburg, Dec. 2S.--The gen.
eral opinion is that the imperial mani
festo represents a victory for the in
terror minister, Sviatopolk-Mirsky,
and the conservative liberals over M.
PobiedonOstseff, procurator of the gen.
eral holy synod and the reac.ionaries
and practically places the strong COM
bination Of M. Witte and Sviatopolk-
Mlrsky behind the governments pro-
gram.
The vagueness in which the reforms
are outlined gives possibilities of ex-
pansion or limitation according to
their ideas prevailing. With a man of
M. Whites domination and force at the
head Of the committee Of ministers the
general belief is that he will control
in the end. Those allied with the
zemstvoists express the intention of
continuing the agitation despite the
governments note of warning. They
believe that the dissimilarity of the
two documents will enable them to
continue the fight on the ground that
the manifesto is in a conciliatory
spirit and represents the views Of the
emperor and that the government
note, with its covert threat Of repres
sion, is the work of the bureaucracy
against which their campaign Is
aimed.
The response of the people generally
and of the extreme liberals and revo
lutionaries to the governments action
is awaited with intense interest No
one imagines that any of these classes
will be satisfied, but upon the course
they have elected to pursue will de-
pend the question of a possible crisis
in the near future

OIL ON the conee:.

surface a little oil. This oil Skinner

colors, like oil on water. The man who
was about to drink the coffee gazed at
1t with delight. ~4 -
"The OIL" he said, "tells me all 7
want to know about the coffee. Now,
without tasting 1t, am sure IT is su-
perb.
"The whole secret of making Coffee
he went on, "lies in extracting and re-
tanning this oil. This oil 1t is which
gives coffee its aromatic and delicious
taste. This oil 1t is also which stimu-
lates you, which makes you feel after:
you have drunk strong and gay.
"Good coffee-the kind with oil afioat
on it-can only be made by excellent
cooks. In millionaires' houses or In
hotels where they employ French chefs
you are likely to get 1t. But the aver
age American housewife does not know
how to make this oily kind Of coffee at

Murderer George Bearss Is Now In
Marquette Prison
FOR KILLING MRS. ABEL BROWN
Fort Huron's Courts Acted Quickly In
His case-committed Crime, Cap.
tured, Tried and Imprisoned Within
Five Days Time-A Moral Pervert.

Marquette, Mich, Dec. 2S.--George
Bearss. the self-confessed murderer of
Mrs. Abel Brown. arrived here this
morning in charge of Sheriff David
son. lie was taken Immediately to the
prison.
Port Huron, Mich, Dec 2S.-George
Bearss, a self-confessed murderer Of
his aunt, Mrs. Abel Brown, walked
from the jail Tuesday on his way to
Marquette prison for life. He was
bandcuffed and was escorted by Dep
atty Sheriff Davidson and several other
deputies.
Just four days have elapsed since he
committed this outrageous murder.
A large crowd of people gathered
while the off were waiting with
their prisoner for the approach Of a
tunnel car, but the crowd was drawn
through curiosity, and aside from
few muttered Soak him's" no demon
stration occurred. Women We'd with
men in getting a peep at him.
Afraid of His Life.
Bearss was afraid that something
would happen before the arrival of the
car. This was evident from his &C.
tons. The street car had hardly time
to come to stop before Bearss made
a rush for the car, accompanied by
Deputy James Davidson, who alone
will undertake to land the man at
Marquette.
Before another day George Bearss,
50 far as the world at large is con-
cerned, will have ceased to exist. His
name will have given way to a num-
Der.
The closing scenes in the laws dis
position of the brutal murderer were
dramatic ia the extreme. At Z o'clock
in the morning, before daylight, Bearss
was hurried from the Jail to the Office
Of Justice of the Peace Benedict. He
listened to the reading of the indict-
ment against him by Prosecutor Cady.
At its conclusion he mumbled in reply
to the request of the justice for his
plea:
81 guess I'm guilty"
The prisoner was then taken TO the
courtroom of Judge Law upstairs. Be-
fore he was conducted to the bar of
the circuit court the judge asked that
Bearss be brought into his private Of
fec, where for twenty minutes the
judge, Prosecutor Cady and Bearss re-
manned clcseted together.
At the conclusion of the talk Judge
Law stated that he had listened to
Bearss' confession and to his 'explana-
ton of the movements on the day of
the murder.
AT $50 Bearss was again brought
to the circuit courtroom, and there in
the presence of great throng of peo-
pie and the husband of the woman he
murdered he was sentenced by Judge
Law to life Imprisonment at Mar
Quette.
Now that 1t is over, the officers sum
up the situation in this way: Bearss
is a man without an education. He
claims that he cannot write his own
name, neither can he read. In other
words, he is a moral pervert. They
think that he went to the Brown house
with criminal assault in mind.

over the glass and carefully press the
center of the paper all around the glass
until it conforms perfectly to the shape
Of the glass. Move the paper and glass
around until you get the glass to the
edge Of the table, and it will fall noise

Continue moving the paper around as
if the glass were still under it. 1t will
appear that way to the audience. When

COUNTRY SCHOOLS
In Need Of Many Things, Declares
Prof. Laird to State Teachers.

TIOts h-aId w ShahS tSaS'>'Ss
Lansing, Mich, Dec. 2S.-The at
tendance upon the fifty-second annual
meeting of the Michigan State Teach
ers' association, which commenced
Tuesday afternoon, is unusually large
and great interest is being taken in
the proceedings.
The principal feature of the opening
session was the address Of the presi-
dent Prof. S. B. Laird of Ypsilanti,
which followed an address of welcome
By Clarence E. Bement of Lansing.
President Laird discussed several
problems which, in his opinion, de-
manded attention In Michigan. OF
primary importance he regarded the
condition of the rural schools of the
state with reference to buildings and
equipment, the qualifications and ex-
perience Of teachers, the length OF the
school year and the lack Of uniformity
IN the courses.
All OF these features, he said, need
ed attention and betterment, the opin-
ion being expressed that there Is less
ground for satisfaction in contem-
plating the rural schools than In any
other branch Of Michigan's education
vi system.
The speaker declared that buildings
and surroundings must be improved
and teachers be more justly treated,
both as TO salary and longer tenure OF
position.

Asbestus.

You have probably heard the word
asbestus used in connection with
theater curtains and with various
methods of rendering a theater or other
building fireproof. Asbestus is q
fibrous mineral that cannot be burned
Chemically it is silicate of lime and
magnesium. When torn to pieces in a
machine made for that purpose it looks
like a mass of cotton, and these fibers
can be spun into threads or strings
and then woven into fabrics useful for
various purposes. The mantels Of our
gaslights are tied to supporting wire
by a piece of asbestus string.-St
Nicholas.

SCOT M n Disfhfectnnt.

OF the many cheap and simple disin-
fectants proposed for the use Of the
people one Of the most effective is
common SCOT. SCOT is composed OF
pure carbon and is formed by the hot
vapor Of the hydrocarbon coming from
burning fuel striking the cold walls
Of the chimney or stovepipe and con-
densing thereon. It is a very light
porous and impalpable powder and,
like charcoal, which Is the same ele-
ment in a different form, possesses
the property Of absorbing and retain
ing a wonderful amount Of gas. The
great danger Of disease about sewers,
drains and other places is almost en-
tirely due to gas given off by decom-
posing matter. If SCOT be sprinkled
about these places it will absorb the
foul gas.-London Mail.

WATCH YOUR VOICE.
Do Not Allow 1t to Become Loud or
Sharp or Hard.

Shurp
Kind hearts are more plentiful than
persistently kind and gentle voices, and
yet love loses much of its power when
the voice Is sharp and hard. Try,
therefore, most earnestly to acquire
the right tone in speaking, and guard
yourself carefully from falling into
careless and bad habits of voice. Often
a sharp voice shows far more Ill will
than the heart feels, but people do not
know that the speakers ozark is worse
than her bite" and they believe her
to be ill tempered and disagreeable. 1t
is SO easy to pick up sharp and snap
pish manner Of speaking Very often
it Is acquired in mirth and in the give
and take battles of words in which
boys and girls delight. There is no
malice in their sallies, and a great deal
Of fun, but meanwhile the voice is
often acquiring a sharp and shrewish
tone which sticks through life, making
it stir up strife and i'll will among
its listeners. SO watch the tone in
which you speak and take care that it
is gentle and sweet. A kind voice is
like music in the home and is to the
heart what light and beauty are to the
eye.

STOLE FIRMS MONEY
In Order to Pay Back Man Who Got
Him Out of Trouble.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Dec. 2S.-
Judge Richard l.. Newman of the SUI
perlor court has paid to Friedman's de-
pGrtment store $4S in stolen money
and thereon hangs a remarkable tale.
Last week Garfield Rivette, an en-
pioye at Friedman's, was arrested for
robbing the firm. The judge at that
time became interested in Rivette and
sent him $4S to assist him in getting
start in life again.
1t now develops that Rivette stole
part of the money he is charged with
purloining from the Friedman store
and which, it is said, reached as much
as So a day, to pay back the sum
which Judge Newman sent him.
When his trial takes place Rivette
will have to face his benefactor on the
bench.
