Worlds Fair Authorities VIII Not Al
low Him to Participate In the Show
ST. LOUIS: The Worlds fair man.
agement has taken official notice OF
the shooting that took place when
three men were injured as the result
of quarrel between Zach Mulhall
and Frank Reed.
Norris B. Gregg, director OF admis-
sions and concessions, has notified
Colonel Cummins of the Cummins
wild west show that Mulhall must
not hereafter appear in the show as
given on the Pike NY the Cummins
management.
The indiscriminate shooting that
took place, according to Mr. Gregg,
Is something that must not happen
again, and, to prevent possible repe-
tition. Mr. Gregg has thought 1t best
to exclude Mulhall from further par
ticipation in the performances where
the trouble originated.
Two of Colonel Mulhalls daughters
take important parts In tue perform
ances as given, but the order does not
affect them.
The condition of Ernest Morgan.
the boy who was one Of the three
shot by Mulhall, Is more favorable
tlian at any time since he was wound
ed. Both Frank Reed and John Muir
ray, who were wounded during the
fracas, are recovering rapidly.
The action taken by the exposition
authorities was probably prompted by
the fact that an indignation meeting
was held by the $50 Indians at the
Cummins show, presided over by
Chief Geronimo and Chief Blue Horse.
After their meeting they notified the
management that in the event OF Mui-
halls return vengeance would be
meted out to him.

Combined Attack to be Made
TOXIC: 1t is reported that the
Port Arthur fleet came out OF the
harbor and engaged the Japanese
fleet.
TOXIC: Admiral Togo reports an
engagement at Port Arthur, in which
a battle ship Of the Peresviet type
was sunk and q battle ship OF the Sc
vastapool type and first class cruis-
er of the Diana type were damaged.
The Japanese fleet was practically
undamaged.
LAO YANG: 1t Is reported that
Generals Oku and Kuroki have joined
forces and are attacking from the d.
rection of vafangow.
There is talk of a serious engage
ment shortly. 1t is also rumored
that the Japanese forces which were
recently advancing in this direction
have fallen back on Feng Wang
Cheng.
The state Of tension existing may
be illustrated by the fact that the
value of the rouble fell mysteriously
at the Russo Chinese bank. At first
this was thought to be the effect OF
the result Of the battle OF Vfangow
but 1t was discovered later that
| Chinese from Port Arthur had de
clared that the fortress had beer
evacuated and that the troops hat
sailed off on a number OF British
ships. The value of the rouble has
now returned to the normal.
1t Is reported from Yinkow that th'
Japanese are recruiting number o
Chinese bandits and are paying then
good wages.

hUMoR TO CURE NERVOUSNESS

DR.. B. Laquer, of Weisbaden, has
published pamphlet upon the
Proper Nourishment Of the Brain
in which he puts forth the opinion
that many medical procedures employ
ed in the treatment of nervous dis
eases are and should be merely In
tended as vehicles for the real methoc
OF cure, which is psycho-therapeutical
For nervous debility DR.. Laquer rec
ommends light, soothing poetry
steady, moderate sport, the obserya
ton Of nature and everything which
tends to improve the senses anc
muscles. Three main characteristics
of the physically unstable, he says
are abnormally increased self-analy
sis, fear and lack of will power.
TO combat these he recommends
books Of travel, history, biography
and especially humorous works. He
is even kind enough to point out some
of the brands of humor which he con
siders to be especially adapted to the
soothing of troublesome nerves, ant
for those who read English only ht

DIR. Lacquer thinks he has exhausted
the subject in his pamphlet. II hi
were to pursue his studies further HI
would probably be able to furnish
prescriptions for the various kind

WE ARE THE PEoPLEi

We Of the United States are Ameri-
cans. We are the people. But are
not the Canadians and Mexicans also
Americans? Are they not also the
people?
Europeans have long said "Yes."
We of the United States have long
said "No."
Now comes Archibald r. Colqu-
houn In his Greater America" to for
tify us in our answer. He writes OF
the United States Of America and It's
dependencies alone, and he speaks OF
them as America without qualihca'
ton.
There is no other country" he
says, (which could be spoken OF rs
America"
And that is true. There are Mexi-
cans, Canadians, Brazilians, Chilians,
ETC., but these are Americans only IN
the geographical sense. In the politi'
cal and national sense only the peo'
pie of the United States are Ameri'
cans.
The name is ours, and ours alone
by right of prior use and example TO
the rest of the Western world. But
for US the names Of the other Ameri.
can republics would have no national
meaning at all-would be mere geo.
graphical expressions.
We made the Western hemisphere
politically different, nationally diner
ent from Europe. We made 1t distinct
in fact.
For those who have followed us We
have every respect, but at present
there is only one American people
only one American nation-and w
are that people.-Chicago lntel

PROGRESS OF HUMANITY.

The ethical millennium is certainly
far away The progress OF humanity
is rhythmical, not steadily continu'
Gus, and It may be that we are In the
trough of the sea. It may be that
thought has been turned to material
things, or maybe only to new con.
cepts of religion, to the dismay OF
those who tend neglected altars. But
certainly humanity has not lost Its
inspiration. No wrong appears but
that there are hands ready to right
It, NO suffering but that there Is zeal
for self-sacrifice in its relief, no prob
lem of humanity but that unselfish
souls are at work for Its solution. II
there is a recession. then, we may be
sure that the food will come again.
And, whether there Is or not, no bet
ter standard of ethics will be com.
mended to favor by telling society
that It is more material than ever be-
fore, when, after realizing all its
faults, 1t perfectly we'll knows that II
Is not.-New York Tribune.

NEED OF THE FARMER.

The farmer must learn to place
cash value upon his own time and
labor and know where they are ex'
pended and what results they pro-
duce. He must learn to think OF the
dairy COW as q machine for manufac.
turing clover, etc.. into milk-a ma
chine that will do its best work when
kindly treated, sheltered from storms
and fed q balanced ration. The small
plots of Idle ground should be made
to produce something that will sell IN
the market or supply the family table.
The waste products of orchard, gar
den or grain field should be turned
into pork, mutton or poultry, while
everything that can serve no better
purpose should, II possible. add fer.
tility to the soil. Rotation OF crops
should make summer following un'
necessary and 80 worth OF apples
should not be lost for the want OF u
worth Of spray.-Porland oresonian
