COL. oLCoTT HURT.
President and Founder of the Theo-
sOphicaI Society Injured in
Italian Wreck.

Kansas City, Mo. = Col Henry
Steele Olcott. of Ayder. India. the
president-founder of the Theosophical
Society and co-worker in her life time
of the late Helen P. Blavatsky, has
been seriously injured in a railway
wreck in Italy, according to private
advices received Sunday by a mem
Der of the society in this city. Be
yond stating that he had been placed
in a hospital and is Gin bad way"
no details of the wreck are given.
Because of his advanced age fears for
his recovery are entertained.
Col. Olcott at the time was on his
way home to India from Chicago,
where he had presided at the annual
convention of the American section
of the Theosophica1 Society, held in
that city in September.
Col. Henry Steele Olcott received
his title in the Civil war. He is IS
years of age. In his early life Col.
Olcott was a newspaper man and at
the execution of John Brown of Osa-
watomie he represented the New York
Tribune. He left newspaper work in
the seventies and, with the late Helen
P Blavatsky, founded the Theosophi
cal Society in New York in 1875.

The Indifferent Citizen.

Indifference is the blight that az
fects all efforts for better things. The
prosperous citizen is optimistically
confident that things are going right
and that any side-stepping must be
only temporary. So he lets them go
and is content TO think that he, at
least, has nothing 10 worry about.
Comfortably fixed in the first cabin
with all the luXuries of modern life
about him. he cares nothing what
other people in the same ship are do
ing-whether they are scuttling it, set
ting it afire or preparing a mutiny;
all he knows or cares about is that it's
mighty pleasant right where he is and
that's enought. This negligence and
Indifference clear the way for those
who do care and who have selfish ends
to serve. All the deals and machina-
tions that make modern politics dis
reputable are due. fundamentally. to
the neglect OF the great majority to be
alert, says the Hartford, Conn, Cour-
ant. 1t is nonsense to say that society
itself is rotten. 1t holds together just
because of it's sweet and wholesome
strength. The piratical element that
lives on it is tolerated, not dominant.

An Up-to-Date Navy.

United States naval officers do not
admit that the monster battleships
planned by Great Britain and Italy
are necessarily more effective than
warships of the Connecticut-Louisia
and the Michigan-South Carolina types.
Now that fuller details have reached
here regarding the Cuniberti battle
ship, with which Italy expects to out
class the Dreadnaught, there is less
disposition than ever TO overesti-
mate the Importance of Italy's
move. The assumption that the
biggest battleship can whip one
a few hundred tons smaller leaves out
of account the matter of seamanship.
brains, courage. craftsmanship, and
relative efficiency, says Harper's
Weekly. American warships may not
be as big as the biggest, but in per
sonnel and equipment they equal any
thing afloat. Our newest warships
have a steaming radius of 5000 miles,
much greater than that OF any other
battleships afioat. This is very inn
portant element in the fighting eff
cheney of all war vessels, and one in
which the large English and Italian
battleships are likely to fail.

The ideal Family Laxative.

Is one that can be used by the entire
family, young and old, weak and
strong, without any danger of harmful
effects. 1t should have properties
which insure the same dose always
having the same effect, otherwise the
quantity will have to be increased and
finally lose it's effect altogether. These:
properties can be found in that old
family remedy, Brandreth's Pills, be-
cause its ingredients are OF the purest
herbal extracts, and every pill is kept
for three years before being sold,
which allows them to mellow. We do.
not believe there is a laxative on the
market that is so carefully made.
Brandreth's Pills are the same fine
laxative tonic pills your grandparents.

a century and are for sale everywhere

A Rule and an Exception.

According to the New York Trib-

rule of etiquette: When lady and

It seems a little strange that this
simple rule, so long current among
the cannibal tribes OF the Andaman
and other islands. should find its way
into a rural journal OF more or less
civilization. 1t would appear that the
etiquette editor of the paper in qrcs-
