Sarah Plat Decker for President.

Sdrdn fldtt OeSkeF TOT PRESIDENT.
st. Louis, Mo-. May 2O.-It looks
very much now as though Mrs.
Sarah Plat Decker of Colorado would
be elected president of the Federation
of Women's clubs. now in session
here. T.he only objection to her cleo
ton is the eastern sentiment that IT
is not wise to put a female s~uffragist
at the head of the women's clubs. In
fact. it is regarded as a very radical
measure, and the conservatives are in.
clined to feel it would disrupt the or
%ganization. Otherwise Mrs. Decker is
quite acceptable, and already 300 votes
are pledged to her. She needs less
than 100 to win, and Of all the candi'
dates, she Is the n far in the lead
New York is likely to vote solidly for
Mrs. Decker. as is Pennsylvania and
Ohio. Texas and Nebraska, also favor
the Colorado woman, but a dark horse
may yet carry OF the prize.

Former Professor of Toxic University
On Russo-Japanese War.

St. Louis, No, May 2O.-Addressing
the annual convention of the National
Editorial association on "Responsi-
bilities in the Orient" Prof. E. F. Fen
olossa of Mobile. Ala. formerly probes
sor of Toxic university, declared that
the present war did not not mean the
determination of Russian civilization
nor of Japanese civilization, no matter
which nation was victorious.
There is no yellow PERIL" he said,
"and all talk along such lines is with
out foundation. This war is the Gull
mination of conditions and was bound
to come. 1t is just a step nearer to the
ultimate merging of eastern and west
ern civilization"

able trial of their means of cure.
No other medicine than DR.. Pierce's

twin out " as the saying goes, o. such
a proposition. But they know whereof
they speak. They have the most re-
markable record of cures made by this
world-famed remedy ever placed to the
credit of any preparation especially de-
signed for the cure of woman's peculiar
ailments. This wonderful remedy, there
fore, stands absolutely alone as the only
one possessed of such unriva1ed curative
properties as to fully warrant its makers
in publishing the remarkable offer above
made in the utmost good faith.
Their financial responsibility is we'll
known to every newspaper publisher and
druggist in the United States, with most
of whom they have done business for
over a third of a century. From this
fact it will readily be seen how utterly
foolish it would be for them to make the
above unprecedented and remarkable
offer if they were not basipg it on cura-
tive means having an unparalleled record.

ture was not to adjourn until Tuesday, |
o'clock. at the time there were rending
"a bills. some OF which were the most
important that had come before the Leg
islature-among the list being the tax
levy of the State
Il seems there lad been some kind Of
an understanding that the question of no
quorum would not be raised when the
House and Senate would meet Monday,
and that the measures would be rushed
through and no questions asked. This
agreement did not stick. for soon after
the body assembled one Senator stated
that he was going to object to the passage
OF the bill allowing the purchase Of the |
M. & 0. Railroad by the Southern unless
there was quorum present. When this
statement was made Mr.. George said that
