teenth century nears its final de-
cade and in the great metropolis
of a mighty nation then unborn,
| can say no more, if as much.
The temperance question does
not stand alone. 1t is related
nay, it is but phase of the
great social question. By abol-
ishing liquor taxes and licenses
we may drive the rum power"
out of politics, and. lessen intern
perance.

Moros Slaughter Fifty-three Phili-
pinos.

A report has been received
from Camp Overton, on the
Island Of Mindanao, dated May
Is, stating that a massacre had
taken place on the 10Th inst. near
Malabang, on the Southern coast
of Mindanao. Fifty-three Fill
pinos, men, women and children,
the families of employers of the
United States military govern
ment at Malabang, were surpris-
ed at midnight, while asleep by
the Datto Ali, and a band of
Moros from the Rio Grand
Valley, and slaughtered. The
Chief and his followers escaped
before the alarm could be given.
Details of the massacre are
meager. Gen. Wood has been
in the interior of Mindanao since
May y. Cable communication
between Manila and Mindanao is
interrupted and the wires are
down in the interior of the is
land. The report of the massa-
ere was received by mail from
a correspondent at Camp Over
ton.

Three Wives Attend the Funeral.

When the remains of the late
Z. L. Duboise, a prominent con-
tractor of Des Moines Ia. were
carried to the cemetery they
were followed by three women,
each Of whom claimed to be his
lawful wife. One came from
Denver, Col, giving the name Of
Mary E. Duboise, and claiming
that she was married to the dead
man in 1880 in Joplin, Mo-, and
that she had three children by
him. The second Mrs. Duboise
came from New Orleans. She
refused to talk of her claims.
The third woman was married at
West Union, Ia, and has lived
with him for some years. There
were no scenes at the funeral,
the women pledging friends of
the dead man not to make a dis
turbance, and they passed them
selves off as relatives.
Duboise had a notable career.
He was a Frenchman and was an
officer in the Franco russian
war. As a contractor, he did
work in all parts of the world,
notably in Brazil, where he was
Mrs. Grundy. (Tracy City, Tenn.) 1903-1930, 1904-06-02

decorated by the government for
his achievements. He came to
Des Moines about nine years ago,
and was prominent in fraternal
and business circles. Prior to
coming here he lived in New
Orleans, Denver and other cities.
Duboise was successful as a con-
tractor and left considerable
estate. An effort is being made
to effect settlement among the
rival claimants for his property.

Unwilling of the Monument.

Your Uncle Tom had the
pleasure of being present at the
dedication and unwilling of the
monument to the 10th Tennessee
Regiment at McMinnville Thurs
day the 10Th. A large crowd
was present but alas, only IS
answered the roll call of that
gallant regiment. You ask where
were the rest. Look, the monu-
ment tells the story-gone.
There were several from other
gallant commands who came to
pay their respects to the boys of
the 10th. Forty-three years ago
on the 10Th day of May the boys
of the 10th Tennessee Regiment
left McMinnville for the seat of
war. Nearly all of them were
young men, bouyant and full of
hope, loving their country as
much as life itself; bid mothers
and sweethearts a fond farewell.
Not half of them ever returned;
in one charge they lost 100 of
their comrades. The continual
hard fighting decimated their
ranks, but they fought on under
their heroic commanders. They
were mountain boys who never
shirked duty and scorned defeat.
Col. Holman made an eloquent
speech which held the audience
spell bound. Inever saw more
orderly or sympathetic crowd
anywhere. The ceremonies were
solemn and impressive. The
young seemed to understand that
a few more years and the old
confederates would only live in
song and story, and they gave
them their heartiest cooperation.
One young lady said she was
proud of her old confederate
father. The old boys met kind
ness everywhere; homes and
hearts were open to receive them
without money or price. In
speaking of Weaving McMinnville
for the seat of war great tears
would fall from their eyes. 1t
was kindness that bid them good
bye and after 43 years, kindness
welcomed the remnant of the
regiment. Don't tell me our
true sons and daughters are tired
of the old soldiers for it is false.
No true and honorable son and
daughter have ever yet turned
their back on the confederate
soldier; neither need you tell
me that they are against Gen.
Bate; more Bate badges were in
McMinnville than any other
kind. Now let me say that Jeff.
d. Fults is the choice of the old
soldiers for State Senator. Quite
compliment, jeff, from these
heros. Only one jeff out of line
as Russ Brown can tell you.

The Overloaded Man.

How to relieve the overloaded |
man is a problem of government.
Reference is not here made
especially to those overloaded
workers, like railroad men, who
endure the strain of long hours.
That sort of overlooking entails
nervous break down and puts not
only the man but the public in
peril.
Reference is here made to the
man, inherently weak, whom the
world compels to carry load too
great for his capacity.
Take man who is weak by
Observation-Disclosures in ability.
lily started in life, lily capacita-
ed, he often bears an unusual load
ofanxious care. He can work at
his personal problems with his
hands only. He does not know
how to use his head as a tool.
Unable to work with his hands,
his helplessness is pitiful. Being
weak, he bears a burden the
strong would shrink from.
Why should society put burdens
so heavy on shoulders so weak?
Men do not overload a bridge
or elevator. 1t does not pay.
Men do not overload a beast of
burden. 1t does not pay. But
they will overload man. 1t
pays. Having overloaded man,
and broken him down, how will
society then compensate him?
By charity?
That, no doubt, is generous OF
society, but it is not always wise,
Aims usually weakens. 1t makes
the recipient less able.
By pensions?
That will come some day. The
old soldier of the industrial army
broken in the service of society
deserves a quiet and comfortable
old age. But there is another
way:
Justice:
The law must look out for the
overloaded man. If the law has
any favorites he must be one of
them. Instead of class legisla.
ton, mass legislation; instead of
aiding monopoly to exploit the
weak, the laws must help the less
able.
Scripture says the strong should
bear the burdens of the weak

Uncle Tom S
Chat.

Twice year, generally in May
and August, our old Hardshells
hold their big sacramental and
foot-washing meetings. These
old primitive christians retain
all of the old fashion ways and
customs and they come to these
big meetings afoot, horse back,
in wagons and some in buggies.
1t is very pleasing to note their
Indifference to style and how
! hospitable and social they are.
Before service begins they gather
in groups and talk over all the
happenings in their different set
Elements; all the deaths, of the
sick, those who had married, and
how many new babies had taken
I'D their abode in their vicinity
since their last big meeting. The
men are generally seen squatting
in groups with their knives out
whiting. By paying close at
tention one may learn all there
is to learn for no old Hardshell
ever has a secret. Their manners
are old fashioned and much more
sociable and genial than our
modern customs, and much more
pleasing and instructive.
After a while the old preacher
rides up, bitches his critter to a
swinging limb, dismounts and
proceeds to shake hands with
every body. This places him in
close touch with the people and
equipps him for doing good and
puts style and formality in the
rear. His old-fashion greetings
stir up happy memories and the
world is made better by them.
Pretty soon song is started in
the old fashion church which
calls the congregation together.
That song is nearly every tune,
but never have sweeter songs
been sung in all the services of
men. When the congregation
assemblies the men sit on one
side and the women on the other.
| Sweet young mothers with their
babies are there and they are
made welcome just as they use
to be. The baby may crow or
cry, it makes no difference; not
a single old time person was ever
disturbed by a baby at church.
1t is strange thing to me that
the fashionable world does not
see and profit by the example.
Sometimes you will see mother
bring twins. with her and you
notice that she is as proud again
as the mother with one. Of
course many go to these big meet
ings for curiosity and to find
something to amuse them. |
have never yet seen anything
funny and he who attends ex-
pecting fun will get disappointed
and may leave in tears. The
sermon is old fashioned and SO is
the whole ceremony. These
humble men and women are try
ing to walk in the footsteps Of
the Master and think it no dis
grace to wash each others feet or
to let babies come to church. No
stranger is allowed to leave with
out dinner, and it is remarkable
the large number they feed with
, never strain. These good old
Hardshells are never so happy as
when they capture an association
and prepa re to feed and bed the
brothers and sisters who come.
| hope the blessings of Almighty
God will attend these good old
people who have so faithfully
stuck to the old land marks and
never allowed fashion to freeze
out from among them the chris
tian spirit. UNCLE Tom.

he ever used. Mr. Babcock is a

equal to Pain Balm for sprains

The road along which the man
of business travels in pursuit of
competence or wealth is not a
Macadamized one, nor does it
ordinarily lead through pleasant
scenes and by well-springs of
delight. On the contrary it is a
rough path, beset with "wait-a-
btu thorns and full of pitfalls,
which can only be avoided by
the watchful care of circum-
spection. After every days
journey over this worse than
rough turnpike road, the way
farer needs something more than
rest; he requires solace and he
deserves it. He is weary of the
dull prose of life and athirst for
the poetry. Happy is the bust
ness man who can find that So
lace and that poetry at home.
Warm greetings from loving
hearts, fond glances from bright
eyes, the welcome shouts of chill
dren, the many thousand little
arrangements for our comfort
and enjoyment that silently tell
of thoughtful and expectant love,
the gentle ministration that
disencumber us into an old and
easy seat before we are aware of
it; these and like tokens of affee-
ton and sympathy constitute the
poetry which reconciles us to the
prose of life. Think of this, We
wives and daughters of business
men! Think of the tolls, the
anxieties, the worries and wear
that fathers undergo to secure
for you comfortable homes, and
compensate them for their trials
by making them happy by their
firesides.

CHARGES AGAINST EMPLOYERS
Attorney for Labor Leader Charged
with ExtOrtiOn Says He Is Victim
of a Conspiracy.

NEW YORK, oct. l4.-The defense OF
Philip Weinzeimer. the former president of
the Building Trades alliance, who is now on
trial charged with extortion as outlined by
his counsel today, is a direct denial that
the defendant ever received a dollar as
charged and counter charge that he has
been made the victim of a plot said to have
been concocted and carried out by the EN-
ployers' association. During the course of
the trial a witness swore that he paid
Weinzeimer S. 700 before he was allowed to
proceed with work on a contract where
members of the Building Trades alliance
were employed.
In outlining the defense today Weln-
zeimer's counsel said he was prepared to
show that no such transaction ever took
place.
Trouble between the two organizations, 4"
said counsel, lied TO the manufacture I'm
cold blood OF evidence to Secure the down
fall of the defendant. He will prove that
in the great controversy which arose
through. the lockout OF the building trades
the whole scheme sprang from the fertile
brains OF the members and officers of the
Employers association. We will show that
this whole case is manufactured out OF
whole cloth; that the testimony was all
prearranged In order that Weinzeimer
might be eliminated from activity in the
interests OF his organization and that the
Building Trades alliance might be de-
stroyed and all opposition TO the Employ
ers association removed and It's interests
conserved

ginning to tell on the vocal powers of
Henry G. Davis, democratic vice presi-
Dental candidate Aside from hoarseness,
however. Mr.. Davis seems as fit as when
he began his continuous performance tour
Of his own state.
Il am sure that If Alton b. Parker shall
be elected president he will ondeavor to
have the Department OF Commerce and
Labor divided and see to 1t that prac-
teal labor man, a genuine and intelligent
representative of labor interests, will have
the department devoted to labor interests

voted to the interests of commerce at the
head of the commerce department"
This was David b. Hills contribution to
the campaign today. To It ne added: "Our
candidate for president, while always i'm
partially enforcing the laws. has always
been friendly to the interests of those who
work" The condition in Colorado was
described as a reign OF terror with the
militia running the state government. The
adjutant general, Mr.. Hin said, was one
of the Rough Riders, or perhaps one of
the tough riders, of Roosevelt With
continuance of republican rule. Mr.. Hill
predicted that milltarism would pervade
the United States.
The red fire of enthusiasm lit up Park
ersburg tonight. Rockets, tin horns. meg
aphones, marching clubs brass bands and
the small boy had complete control of the
town. The Davis specihl arrived shortly

OPEN UNCLE SANS MAIL
Russian Official Hampers with Pouch
Directed to Cruiser Cincinnati.
TAKEN FROM CALCHAs WITH OTHERS
IL is ReseaIed and Forwarded to the
Warship at NRgRsaki, Japan
Strong Protest is Prob
able.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 14-It developed to-
day that a pouch containing mail for the
United States cruiser Cincinnati, then at
Nagasaki, Japan, which was aboard the
British steamer Calchas, when that vessel
was seized by the Russian Nladivostok
squadron, had been opened while in the
possession of the Russian officials, subse-
quently resealed and sent on TO its des-
tination. This information came to the
Postoffice department today in a communl-
cation from the japanese postal admins
tration, in conformity with a practice al
ways followed, when there has been any
mishap in the delivery of mail pouches.
The matter will be referred to the State
department for action, as was done with
the case of the ordinary United States mall
on the vessel at the time 1t was seized.
This latest phase of the seizure of the
Calchas' mails has caused a painful sur
prise in official circles, and If the act of
opening the pouch addressed to the Gin
cinnau was Willingly done the probability
is strong protest will be lodged with the
Russian government.
1t is stated at the Navy department that
the mail pouch referred to did not contain
any official communication, simply mail
for the men aboard the ship.
