j her report that the convention
AaAuai had increased in size till the
printing bill had become something
enormous The cost for printing
1000 copies OF the last annual was
s383.50. The report suggested that
he cost of printing would have to be
.educed or a greater tax than 10
cents per capita would necessarily
have to be levied.
After the adoption of the report
the printing question evoked quite
spirited discussion. All agreed that
the amount paid was too high. but
there were various opinions as to
how the matter could be remedied.
One delegate offered the suggestion
that all rosters be stricken out.
printing only the names of the con-
yention officers. This suggestion met
with strong opposition. A delegate
in the rear of the house said:
Madam President, want to say
positively that | am opposed to any
names being left out of the annual.
want my name in and | believe
every delegate in the house will
voice my sentiments. These ANNALS
contain the complete record of our
conventions and when | have passed
away / want my children and grand
children to see by reference TO the
annual that ] was once a member
of the Texas division of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy.
Others spoke opposing eliminat.
ing the names from the annual.
Some suggested that the ANIMALS size
could be reduced by leaving ont all
reports OF entertainments given by
the chapters. One delegate suggest
ed that the number of ANNALS be
decreased. The discussion became
so animated that it required several
raps of the presidents gayel TO re
store order All wanted TO talk a.
the same time, and each one had a
different suggestion 10 make,
Finally q motion was made that
all names be printed in the annual.
This motion was adopted by a unani-
nous vote.
II was then moved and carried that
no more than 1000 copies be printed
The convention then wanted it un-
derstood that the incoming score

A WONDERFUL INVENTION.

1t is interesting to note that for
tunes are frequently made by the in
vention CT articles OF minor import
ance. Many Of the most popular devi-
ces are these designed to benefit the
people and meet popular conditions,
and one OF the most interesting of
these that has ever been invented Is
the Or. White Electric Comb, patented
January 1. 'S9. These wonderful
Combs positively cure dandruff, hair
falling out. sick and nervous head
aches. and when used with DR.. Whites
Electric Hair Brush are positively
guaranteed to make straight hair curly
in 20 days time. Thousands Of these
electric combs have been sold in var
ious cities OF the Union, and the de-
mand is constantly increasing. Our
agents are rapidly becoming rich sell
ing these combs. They positively sell

TUSKEGEE'S NEW PLAN.

The officers of the Tuskegee Normal
and Industrial Institute, of Tuskegee,
Ala. have gradually matured a plan
which should very deeply interest the
Young men and women of the race who
are seeking an education. This plan
enables young men and young women
to attend school at night and work at
an industry or trade during the day,
or in the case of those who are able
to pay a small monthly sum, to attend
school during the day and at the same
time, learn a trade or work at some
industry. This improved plan gives
superior opportunity for literary and
academic training and at the same
time, gives equal opportunity for the
learning of a trade. Last year thirty
six states were represented by students
at TUskegee, and nine foreign coun-
tries. The attendance during the COM
ing year promises to be very large and
the class of students promises to be of
a high grade.

THE BUFFALO'S LAST OUTING.

The last outing of the Buffalo Social
Club took place on the paatial steamer
Jane MOseley, Sunday, September 25,
to Somerset Beach. More than 500
members and friends took advantage
of this opportunity to take a trip down
the Potomac, and merry throng it
was Manager Lewis Jefferson, with
his usual enterprise, gave a fine bull
lock to the Club, which was barbecued
in true southern style, and which sup
piled more juicy meat than the hungry
Buffalos could consume. In addition to
this, he presented the Buffalos with a
handsome silk flag, as a token of es
TEEN in which this Club is neld by the
officers and members of the boat COM

WHAT PURE WHISKEY IS

Can easily be ascertained. Smell your
drink before imbibing It Better still,
smell the drained glass. The least die
agreeable or foul odor betrays poison
in the whisky. Perfect distillation
means the careful separation Of the
first and the end run from the still,
the poisonous. impure, essential grain
oil. (phlegms, faints, fuseD, from the
product, good, potable spirit
Very likely the majority of cheap
whiskies. either for economy or from
ignorance. carry more or less Of ina
purities. Such defective liquors could
never be admitted to that grandest Of

The Wahpeton times., 1904-04-01

Russia 10 far more Aaiat;c
than European, more yellow
and brown than white. While
there 10 a strong strain of Ger
man and Scandinavian blood
in the dominant. claases in
Russia, the bulk of the people
in the European part Of the
empire are Slavs-people 90
different from the European
races that some ethnologists
do not class them together.
Their heads and faces are
shaped differently, their hair,
skin and racial tendencies
quite dissimilar. Servians,
Bulgarians, Poles, Bohemians
and the Hungarian immi-
grants to this country are
types of the Slavs. In the vast
extent of Russia east of the
Ural Mountains there are all
varieties of races, colors, and
degrees OF civilization, running
down to the absolute savage.
These are far nearer to the
Chinese than to Europe peo-
pies. Nor are the Japanese
yellow men of the Chinese
type. Their origin is mysteri-
Gus, and certainly not from the
same source as the Chinese.
Some writer's claim that they
are the product of an amalga-
nation of the Tartars from
what is now Russian territory,
and the Malays coming up
from the PHILIPPINES. They
are as distinct from the Chin
ese and other yellow races, as
the negro is different from the
white man. They have none
of the Chinese mental char
acteristics, and in place of ally.
ing themselves with China,
are much more likely to fight
the Chinese with the same
antipathy that the white races
show.-Ex.
