signs Of catering to the intense anti
American sentiment which exists IN Gu
ban political circles There seems TO be
a fear in Cuba that the island Is being
too rapidly Americanized.
Hence. not alone in such acts as the
annuIrnent of the express company con-
cession and other measures which have
been taken to hamper American trade,
but also through discriminating license
taxation on business enterprises and IN
the governmental stimulation Of Spanish
immigration, the most strenuous and I'M
concealed efforts are being made to cur
tail the natural and otherwise inev1ta-
bic tendency toward the American de-
velopment of the island.
Presidents Wish Ignored.
One peculiar instance OF how this anti
American spirit Is made manifest came
to light last January. An American ex-
soldier killed a Cuban in self-defense.
That it was unquestionable self-defense
was notorious fact.
Under the Spanish-Cuban law this kill
ing WAS construed TO be Granddaughter.
The American was rapidly railroaded to-
ward q Cuban prison, when the facts
were called 10 the attention Of President
Roosevelt.
Minister Squiers to President Palma that
he should withdraw the case from the
Cuban courts and extend executive
cIemency This request of the American
President was promptly turned down by
President Palma,
1t is rumored that this discourteous
act of the Cuban executive exhausted
President Roosevelts long enduring
patience and forbearance toward Cuban
shortcomings.
It is too well known that President
Roosevelt has done everything IN his
power to foster and aid the Cuban Re-
public In establishing Itself firmly in
the sisterhood of American independent
states The Cuban reciprocity treaty
was urged by him early and late against
the advice and counsel OF d majority
of his party leaders
That ii has not been of anything like
the advantage TO American commerce
that 1t has been to Cuban trade with
the United States has been due TO in
sidious and obstructive tactics on the
part OF the Cuban revenue officials. in
situated thereto by the ring of Spanish
and foreign merchants which has al
ways controlled the commercial in
terests of Havana

SITUATION m EAR Isl.

The situation in the Far East could
be fttipgly described by saying that
the safety Of the Russian army at this
juncture Of the conflict says the wichi-
IA Eagle. depends on It's ability to
cutrun the Jare 10 far-oI Harbin.
The Eagle has been saying for three
months that Russia has lost her hght
in the Far East. and every battle and
sknnish hut adds TO the effectiveness
Of her defeata. Japan viii now be
able to dictate her own terms of
peace She can hold Manchuria and
Korea in spite Of Russia and there is
a question whether even the great
powers Of the earth could now curb
the ambition Of the island empire If
they desired TO do so.
Tho combined navies Of the world
might drive the Japanese fleets into
Port Arthur and places Of refuge In
Japan, where they would fight on the
defensive. but they could never de
feat the half million japanese soldiers
now IN Manchuria, who are now Ger
tain to have tho assistance Of China
The attempt now 10 drive japan out Of
Port Arthur would be a costly under
taking that no nation or nations vii
desire % undertake The game woult
not be worth the cost Of powder anC
blood 10 any European nation.

HIHE first lesson that tho young girl
has of womanhood is usually a
Il painful one. She learns to know
what headache means, and back
ache, and sometimes is sadly borne
down by tAis new experience of life.
All the pain and misery which young
girls commonly experience at such a
time may, in almost every instance, be
entirely prevented or cured by the use
Of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
II establishes regularity. Il tones up
the general health, and cures headache,
backache, nervousness cud other con-
sequences of womanly weakness or
disease.
MOTHER or THE FAMILY.
The anxious mother Of the family OFT
entimes carries the whole burden Of re-
eponsibility SO far as the home medication
Of common ailments Of the girls OF BOYS
are concerned. The cost Of the doctors
visits are very often much too great.
At such times the mother is invited
to write to DR.. r. V. Pierce, of Buff
falo, n. V, for medical advice, which
Is given free. Correspondence is held
strictly confidential.
$500 REWARD FOR WOMEN WHO
CANNOT BIZ CURED.
Backed up by over a third of a century
OF remarkable and uniform cures, a rec
ord such as no other reuiedy for the dis
eases and weaknesses peculiar to women
ever attained, the proprietors and max
ers of DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription
now feel fully warranted in Offering to
pay $500 in legal money Of the United
States for any case of Leucorrhea, Fe-
male Weakness, Prolapsus, or Falling of
Womb, which they cannot cure, All
the Worlds Dispensary Medical Asso-
citation, Prcprietors, of Buffalo, n Y,
ask is a fair and reasonable trial of
their means of cure.
A MOTHERS LOVE.
A mothers love is so divine that the
roughest man cannot help but appreciate
IL as the crown of womanhood. How
ever, motherhood is often looked for
ward to with feelings Of great dread by
most women. AT such times woman
is nervous, dyspeptic, irritable, and she
is in need Of uterine tonic and nervine,
a strength builder to fit her for the
ordeal. No matter how healthy or
strong a woman may be she cannot
but be benefited by taking DR.. Pierce S
Favorite Prescription to prepare for the
event.

PROSPERITY AND

Good government, common horse

which sort have we enjoyed this
last year or so. The index finger point
ed at the tax levy for 1904 is the most
concise and conclusive answer that is
available. Is three and one-half per
cent for municipal purposes exclusive
OF sewer and paving taxes progress
and prosperity Of the sort that can en-
dure. or Is a tax rate in accord with
pres sent conditions the desirable thing?
This is a proposition to answer on
election day.

Dr. John W Duke and the able corps
Of officers on the Citizens ticket stand

The importations from the tropical

grown to about s5O.O0O,0OO in the last
three years.

New schoo, House Needed.

AS the city grows in population il is
more apparent every day that new
school building will be needed soon, the
present quarters are over crowded and
the school board are already beginning &c
discuss the question Of what to do with
the pupils. and are canyassing the situa-
ton regarding more room. A new school
house seems to be the only favorable plan
to relieve the congested condition. 1t is
thought by trustee, W. |. Benedict, that
the most practical way out OF the dilemma
is to build new school house in the End
ward just east OF the present building
b 1t near enough to it that the two could
be used in connection.
II seems to have been the policy here
tofore to build for the needs of the time
without thought for future growth and
the falacy Of that way Of doing is now
seen. Had the district voted $4,000 for
a school house a few years ago for the
,cond ward as it should have done, lie
might have been erected large enough to
have served the purpose for several
years vet.
