MIssoURIANs SURRENDERED.
Removal of Bryan Banner from
Their Special Train.

Buffalo, N Y. = Two hundred
members of the Jefferson club of Mis-
souri, arrived here Wednesday en- route
for New York, where they will take
part in the reception to William j.
Bryan. Former Governor D. A. Ball
is with the party.
When the special Wabash train on
which the Miesourians are travelling
was turned over to the New York Cen
trail the railroad officials demanded
the removal of huge banner from the
side of the train The banner reads:
welcome to Bryan"
The rules of the road, it was eX
planned, prohibited the placing of a
banner on the side of passenger
train. The Missourians protested
against the removal of their banner
and refused to allow the railroad en-
ployes to take it down. The train
was sent into the yards and held
until late Wednesday afternoon when
the banner was finally removed and
the train proceeded on its journey tc

MORE PEOPLE IN KANSAS.
creased 66,492 in Last Year-Wy-
andotte County Gained Most.

Topeka, Kansas. - Kansas has
gained 66,4S2 in population in the last
year, according to the report issued
Thursday by F. D. Coburn, secretary
of the board of agriculture. The in
crease is given at 4.3 per cent. over
the preceding year. The population
of the state is 1,544,96S. The report
is based on the returns of the asses
sor, who gathered the statistics March
1, 1906. The report in part says:
This is the largest population ever
reported in the history of the state,
and the gain is seemingly well dis
tributed, although the western coun-
ties show greater percentages of in
crease than do those further east.
The SO counties lying west of the
99th meridian show an aggregate
gain of 22,377, or 14.7 per cent.
The largest individual increase is
in Wyandotte county, which has
gained 1888, followed by Montgom-
cry, Sedgwick, Labette and Shawnee
in the order named.
Wyandotte, Shawnee, Montgomery,
Sedgwick and Crawford are the five
leading counties in 1906.

STRICT AS TO MEAT LABELS
Those Used by Packers Must Not
Deceive the Public.
" ANEiE,
VIII Apply Common Sense i'm
Administering New Law.

Wa S b in 6 ton, D. C. = Nothing
short Of the placing on meat products
Of labels which will not deceive the
public was the ultimatum which Sec
rotary Wilson delivered to forty rep
resentatives of various packing hous-
es here Thursday. Hereafter. if the
packers want their goods accepted
for Interstate shipment the packages
must bear labels more specific than
those used hitherto. 1t will not do
for instance to state merely that a
package contains the sausage. The
label must distinctly describe the ar
ticle and plainly show that the sau-
sage is made entirely of pork, of pork
and beef combined or of other in
advertising features On the labels will
also be insisted upon The packers
were particularly solicitous regarding
the meat products already put up and
held in stock, but secretary Wilson as
sured them it was not his intention to
open every package but to select a
certain percentage and if they were
found as represented he would author
lie labels for the lot, certifying that
it had met the requirements Of the
law.
In administering the law Secretary
Wilson said he would apply common
sense and that it was not his intention
to be hypocritical or to impose any
unnecessary hardships on the pack
ers. Further conferences will continue
Friday.

last Saturday was considered one of
the strongest financial institutions in

mostly as security for loans, of about
$5,300,000 made to Adolph Segal, a
promoter of this city. The man re-
sponsible for the failure was Frank
K Nipple, one of Philadelphia's best
known citizens, who died suddenly
last Friday morning in his country
home at Bryn Mawr, near here, unu-
der circumstances which, in the light
of later developments, lead to the sus-
picion that he may have committed
suicide.

The latest discovery in Germany is

The latest discovery in Germany is
camping! R. Julien writes about
1T in the Berlin Tageblatt as Idle neu-
este Sommer-Romantik." Like so
many new things" he says, "the
camping summer amusement comes
to us from the far west by way of
France. American youths it was, pu-
pills, students, who first introduced 1t. !"
The Americans, he goes on to inform
his countrymen, convinced that the
comforts of life in cities tend toward
;effeminacy, make a regular sport Of
camping. Not only during the sub
lmer vacation, but often over Sunday
they go-alone, in couples, in fam
lilies, in clubs-to forest or shore.
sleeping in the open air steels their
nerves, while rod and rifle provide ad-
jditional recreation. Mr. Julien sus-
pects that "Trapper-romantik" and
inherited ancestral love of adventure
throw light on this American spe-
cialty. Possibly, he adds, the paucity
of "Erholungsstatte" has something
to do with it. There he is, of course,
mistaken, but his guess suggests the
main reason, no doubt, why the Ger
mans themselves have not heretofore
known the delights Of camping. A
German never takes a walk or excur-
sion that does not end at an Er-
holungsstatte" tavern or beer gar
den. Supply follows the demand.
and inns are so abundant, even in
put-of-the-way places, that tenting
seems superfuity, if not an absurd
lily. For students, who, most Of all,

Arranging Floral Pieces.

When arranging floral pieces in
which wire frames, covered with lead
foil and filled with moss, form the ba-
sis of the work, it is hard to get the
surface closely covered, and the edges
hidden. l have found wire hair-pins
used as staples for fastening flowers
and foliage into position the greatest
help of anything l have ever tried.
The pins pierce the foil and enter the
moss, easily, and so make it possible
to quickly staple vines, foliage or
flowers around the edge of the frame
or into vacant spots over the face of
the piece. Then, too, flower or leaf
often persists in standing up when it
should lie fiat, and, when this hap
pens, hair-pin put across the stem
brings it into the required position
and holds it there.

thousands of persons who had gath

of even a fleeing glance of the dis

When Mr.. Bryan entered the hall
the proceedings which had already be-

GOOD AND HARD.
Results of Excessive Coffee Drinking

1t is remarkable what suffering
some persons put up with just to sat.
isfy an appetite for something.
A Mich. woman says: 81 had been
using coffee since 1 was old enough to
have cup of my own at the table.
and from it 1 have suffered agony
hundreds of times in the years past.
My trouble first began in the form
OF bilious collie, coming on every few
weeks and almost ending my life. At
every attack for 8 years 1 suffered in
this way. l used to pray for death to
relieve me from my suffering. | had
also attacks of sick headache, and be-
gan to suffer from catarrh of the stom-
ach, and of course awful dyspepsia.
For about a year l lived on crack
ers and water. Believing that coffee
was the cause of all this suffering. I
finally quit it and began to use
Postum Food Coffee. 1t agreed with
my stomach, my troubles have left
me and l am fast gaining my health
under its use.
No wonder 1 condemn coffee and
tea- No one could be in much more
critical condition than 1 was from
the use of coffee. Some doctors pro
nounced it cancer, others liberation,
but none gave me any relief. But

Atmospheric POISONING.

The protests against the automo-
bile omnibuses of London have re-
ceived a powerful reinforcement by
a declaration of Sir James Dewar on
the chemical basis. He is undoubted-
ly among the high chemical authori-
ties of the world, and his condemna-
ton of the motor buses and freight
vans seems conclusive unless inven-
ton provides innocuous motive power.
Sir James Dewar states that the
combustion of petrol or gasoline in
these motors throws off vast quanti-
ties of noxious gases. Some of these
are absolutely poisonous and all in
furious. He holds that the air of Lon
don is bad enough already without
the addition of carbonic acid gas, the
sulphurous gases, and, worst of all,
the asphyxiating carbonic oxide.
Moreover, while he admits that sci
ence can improve motors, he declares
that it is impossible for it to burn Pc
troll and render the resulting gases
innocuOuS.

'The Cuticura Remedies cured me of
my skin disease, and 1 am very thank
full to you. My trouble was eruption
of the skin, which broke out in spots
allgover my body, and caused a con-
tinual itching which nearly drove me

ABOUT CLIMBING PLANTS.
Picturesque Arches Covered by Creep
ers-The Variety of the Latter
The Ramblers.

A length of straight garden can be
broken up and made picturesque by a
series of archways, which may soon
be covered by creepers. Some are
evergreen creepers, such as Irish ivy,
jessamine and variegated ivy. In
planting ivies large plants should be
obtained, the lengthy growths of
which can be trained to give an i'm
mediate effect, and when this is &C.
complished it is there for good. AL
though all plant growths prefer wood
work to entwine itself upon, an iron
framework can be made by uniting a
series of pipe arches, the construc-
ton of which is well known to all,
by horizontal bars, thus making con-
tinuous arch, which can easily be
covered with the wistaria by careful
ly tying in the young shoots. says the
Brooklyn Eagle. In the early sum
mer when it bursts into leaf and bios
som it presents gorgeous sight of
lavender flowers and pretty light
green fern-like leaves. 1t may also
be trained up window on wire lat
tice, adding beauty to the scene and
sweet perfume to the house. This
climbing plant is no trouble, once it
obtains a hold of the ground, grows
very. rapidly quickly covering the
space allotted to it; it is, moreover,
sure to give abundance of blossom
every spring, either white or lavender.
There are now so many climbing
roses that these ought not to be over
looked when the covering of arches is
in question. Those of the rambler
tribe are strongly recommended on
account of the amount of blossom OBJ
tanned from them during the season.
They are now available in crimson
white, yellow and pink varieties, and
when planted near one another give
great variation and color.

The Inspiration Of Human Love.

A little story comes from Geneva,
Switzerland, that brings out the
thought that human love and devotion,
yes, and self-sacrifice, know no race
boundaries. The heroine was Berthe
Gallard, 19-year-old orphan, who in
this country would be known as a
t'hired girl" She worked for kind peo-
Iple and cared for three children She
loved them like a mother A fire broke
iout in the house, and the parents
rushed into the street in search of
help, leaving the three little ones in
AN upper room. Berthe Gallard passed
Through the flames, wrapped two chill
dren In sheets and carried them safe
ly. The roof was falling in, but she
went back for the third child. She
found it, and as the stairs were gone
she appeared at a window, wreathed
in flames, and tossed the baby into
willing hands. Then she leaped from
the window herself and was rushed to
a hospital. She was burned from head
to foot. She whispered: please
bring the children" kissed them, then
turned to her employers, said: Don't
cry. 1t is all right. 1 did only my
duty"-and died. The inspiration for
he greatest courage is human love,
Bays the Chicago Journal. 1t may be
love for children, for men, or for
women Int the fact remains that
there is no finer emotion. 1t brings
the greatest joy. 1t turns self-sacrf-
ice into happiness, and the mere Civ
ing up of life, with all its attractions.
Is true.

Persistent Anemia Cured by Dr.

Remedies Had Failed.

"When began taking DR.. Williams
Pink Pills." says Mrs. Nathaniel Field,
of st. Adams, Somerset county, Maine.
ST was the palest, most bloodless person
you could imagine. My tongue and
gums were colorless and my fingers and
ears were like wax. I had two doctors
and they pronounced my trouble an@mia-
Ihad spells of vomiting, could not eat,
in fact, did not dare to, 1 had such dis
tress after eating. My stomach was filed
with gas which caused me awful agony.
The backache suffered was at times
almost unbearable and the least exertion
made my heart beat so fast that could
hardly breathe. But the worst of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never leftme for seven weeks. About this
time had had several numb spells. My
limbs would be cold and without any
feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come over me.
"Nothing had helped me until I began
taking DIR. Williams Pink Pills, in fact,
l had grown worse every day. After
had taken the pills a short time / could
see that they were benefiting me and
one morning awoke entirely free from
pain. The distress after eating disap-
peared and in three weeks could eat
anything wanted and suffer no incon-
venience. also slept soundly- 1 have
taken several boxes of the pills and have
gained in weight from 100 to 154 pounds
and am perfectly well now"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills cure anamia
