AMERICAN PROGRESS REVEALED

The more one travels over the country
the more one is impressed by the native

American people.
We once heard very much abou. the

Going Into new country has not
changed their dispositions or plans OF life.
They have felt even more keenly the re-
sponsibilities resting upon them TO take
the lead in all the enterprises for the de-
velopment of the resources of the new
country and the better-nent and advance

in which they live. Therefore they keep

Washington, Aug, 19.-Mary Alex.
ander Almorolia, q negress, who
died recently, left will which cuts
off all her negro relatives and be.

valued at $4,000, to two young
white men, Lewis Alexander, 81

In their infancy and reared until
they reached the age CT maturity.
The woman was educated and be-
came proficient as a linguist. She
wrote, spoke and readily understood
English, French, German, Italian
and Spanish, and was an accom-
plished musician. She also had an
uncommon amount OF business sense,
administering her husbands affairs
with remarkable success and with
him accommodating fortune.
In addition to the will, leaving all
her property to the two boys, their
foster mother left four typewriter
pages, directing them to open a
large trunk after her death and find
there certain valuable papers, which
would protect their rights and clea,
up the mystery that invests their
lives.
The story Of the adoption OF these
two white children by this woman
is not unknown to a few members oil

and more than one effort has been
made by il fiuential persons to induce
one OF the foster brothers to claim
his paternity and make legal fight

wheat ruined by the black rust" was
again the cry yesterday in the spec
ulative wheat market, and the price
mounted to meet the situation.
After the previous immense rise, q
further advance Of 8 cents a bushel,
which took place yesterday, gives
some indication of the seriousness OF
the reports received, and the agita-
ton OF the struggling buyers on the
board.
May wheat got to within one
eighth OF a cent OF $1.15 and was
only one cent under that at the
close.
Wheat for September delivery sold
as high as $1.10 closed at $1.O9.

lieved some apprehension concerning
corn, which was previously suffering
in many places from drought.

George Creel, the brilliant young

editorial eondemningt the Stoneletter,
concludes as follows:
"Folk will be elected by a majority
OF 100000. This paper made the

been achieved by anything approach

those by whom he has been surround
ed were novices like himself. Because
Of this ignorance OF political rules
and tricks, mistake after mistake
was made, and each time the opposi.
ton figured that irreparable injury
had been done.
The reason why mistakes had no
power to effect the Folk movement
was, and lie, due to the superb faith
that the people of Missouri have In
Mr.. Folk himself. They believe him
to be absolutely and incorruptibly
honest. Senator Stone and his
crowd are not the sort to successfully
shake this faith. Rather will they
only discredit themselves the more,
and hurry their exit from the stage
of life
Another thing that will tend to in.
crease the Folk majority Is the well
grounded belief that Mr.. Walbridge,
the Republican candidate for gov
ernor, has entered into an alliance
with the Butler forces in st. Louis,
and the ring" in other parts Of the
state.

icspped by the fact that it went on

no chance OF winning. Now that he
