MORALIzIKd AGAIN.

The Kansas City Star Of Saturday
night said %editorially:
Governor Folks appointment tu
the st Louis Police Board Of a mar
who was slugged in the ST. Louis prl.
marIeS gives practical force to what
the Governor has said about the inter.
ference Of the police in politics. 1t
Is hardly necessary to say that Mr.
FristOe, the new commissioner, would
not have been assaulted If the police
department had not %connived with
the thugs to control the election "
etc. ad nauseam.
The St. Louis Republic Of Saturday
morning contained a picture Of Mr..
FristOe and the following account,
which is quoted in full;
"The appointments Of Skinker and
Fristoe had not been forecasted, Mr..
FriStoe is the president of the T. J.
Moss Tie Company Of St. Louis, and
took an active part In helping the
candidacy Of Mr.. Folk. He was
assaulted during the primaries OF
March ~ last year at Clayton"
Just what the St. Louis police had
to do with the Clayton primaries does
not appear. Clayton is the county
seat Of another county. II there
were any St. Louis policemen out at
Clayton on that occasion, then there
Is probably some need Of revolution
In the police department. And what
was Mr.. FristOe, OF ST.. Louis, doing
out at Clayton? II ne was prowllno
around out Of his bailiwick getting
MO smuggling matches, possibly he is
not as hopeful material for a police
commissioner as the Star seems to
think The Star has an easy going

TALE OF THE A~LsATRoss.
Interesting Nomadie Bird Eas
Unique Superstition Attached
to It's Life.

Ofall the strange creatures seen
by travellers not the astinterest.
ing is the wandering albatross.
This great feathered wanderer.
sometimes measuring IL feet from
tip to tip of his wings, will follow
a ship for days at a time. Some
travellers and sailors declare that
they have seen a particular bird Hy
for weeks at a time without rest.
ing. The albatross has always
been a bird Of mystery, and in an.
cient times the people believed
that these unwearying seabirds
were the companions Of the Greek
warrior DiOmedes, who were said
to have been changed into birds at
the death of their chief.
Though the superstition about
the killing of an albatrOss bring.
ing bad luck is only a foolish one.
It has served a useful purpose for
many years in preventing the
slaughter Of these beautiful and
gallant birds-the sailors friends
and the landsmen's wonder. Upin
dreary Kamtchatka, that outlying
part of Siberia which cuts into the
North Pacific, the natives, never
having heard of the superstition
about the a~lbatrOss, catch him and
eat him. But his flesh makes such
poor food that, after all, the legend
may be said to hold good, for he Is
indeed in bad luck who has to
make a meal Of it.

GAME OF PAPAoo o Y
Young Indians Toss Rawhide Dumb
bells in Vigorous
Fashion.

The boys Of the PapagO tribe in
the southwest have a game which
the fellows in Harvard and Yale
would form rules about, if they
PLAYED it, until it became very live.
" indeed. These Indian boys,
writes Julian Ralph, in "Fun
Among the Red Boys" In st. Mich
olas, make dumb-bells Of woven
buckskin or rawhide. They weave
them tight and stiff, and then soak
them in a sort of red mud which
sticks like paint. They dry them,
and then the queer toys are ready
for use. To play the game they
mark off goals, one for each band
or "side" of players. The object
of each side is to send its dumb
bells over to the goal of the enemy.
The dumbbells are tossed with
sticks that are thrust under them
as they lie on the ground. The per.
verse things viii not 60 straight
7r far and q rod is a pretty good
throw for one. The sport quickly
grows exciting, and the players are
soon battling in a heap, almost as
II they were playing at football.

The St. Louis Post lspatchs
double loaded defense Of Niedrinebaus

"buccaneering tactics of Kernes, its
tender anxiety for the sacred oblipa.
lions of party cancus action" and its
horror OF the "bunch OF boilers" who
are thwarting the will Of the people
Of Missouri In the peaceful and
Wholesome revolution" they have
just gone through, is all about as
interesting as the Kansas City Stars
sudden discovery Of macadam-the
Star which used to shine only for
asphalt and the particular kind OF
asphalt that was handled by a certain
company as that. A man does not
have to bave a very long memory to
recall the time when the Star devoted
half Of It's editorial space every day to
One Barber Asphalt company.
Meanwhile what It is now saying Of
is all very true, except the
on cost and maintenance.

PRoPOsED FREIOHr LEGISLATION.

PROPOSED FREIGHT LEGISLATION.
The lumbermen's associations OF

The lumbermen complain that they
are subject to arbitrary regulations
laid down by the railroads and having
the effect Of law. They would enact
these regulations together with cor
responding regulations enforced by
corresponding penalties, requiring the
railroads to furnish carS promptly, to
transport them at the rate Of at least
so miles per day, to locate them at
at their destination upon switches
where they can be unloaded, to give
proper notice to c~onslgnee, and to
count demurrage only from the time
when the cars have been so located as
TO be accessible for unloading. The
bill further provides that In ease the
shipper is compelled to bring suit to

The readers Of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting di-
rectly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces Of the system, thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, and Civ
ing the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have 80 much faith in its curative pow
ers that they offer One Hundred Dol

Mrs. Pinlxham claims that there is a

arrangement of the female organism,
and which, while it causes disturb
ance similar to ordinary indigestion,
cannot be relieved without medicine
which not only acts as a stomach tonic,
but has peculiar uterine-tonic effects

tention to the case of Mrs. Maggie
Wright, Brooklyn, N. Y, who was

hams Vegetable Compound after every
thing else had failed. She writes:
