nurn Negro school Buildings.

East St, Louis, H.. Nov. BOA large brick building at 140o Missouri avenue which was leased last week by the board of education for a negro school, was destroyed by fire Wednesday, and there is evidence that prejudice against the establishment of school for negroes caused the building to De set on fire. Late Tuesday night the building was discovered to be on fire but prompt action saved it. The fire men found rags soaked in oil, on the second floor hallway. The destruc- ton of the building Wednesday marks the second building leased for ne gro school that has been burned within the past two weeks. The board of education two weeks ago leased q building for a negro school and inn mediately it was destroyed by fire.

PROTECTING" HOME INDUS
 TRIES.

We believe it was General Han cock, who, on receiving the Demo- cratic nomination for president, announced that protection" was purely local question.
 The habeas corpus proceedings brought in Chancellor Shaver's court last Monday to secure the release of Ira O. Smith of the Spaulding Manufacturing Company of Iowa. brought out some points which tend to show the truth of Hancock's contention.
 Evidently the law under which the Iowa parties were arrested for sell ing buggies in Arkansas was intend ed to protect local dealers, and as matter of justice it is clear that those who live here pay taxes and contribute toward building up and maintaining the community and its public institutions should not be compelled to compete with those who do nothing toward these ends, but sell all they can, gather up their money and go hence to spend or enjoy it.
 Except on the theory that protec- ton is local question we cannot see how a Democratic legislature in the state of Arkansas could adopt such protection law, but can readily understand how a Democratic Su- preme court believing in free trade could knock it out as unconstitu- tional.
 In the local battle before Judge Shaver, our own Hal Norwood and J. l. Alley, two Democrats tried and true, while trying to hold the for eign prisoner at the bar to the pay ment of the S20O revenue needed for liquidation of governmental ex- penses, somehow did not appear to possess their customary forensic vim or confidence that they were in the right, Hal getting excused and leaving Alley to make half hearted fight alone.
 Attorney Wright Prickett. how ever. in defense of the foreigner incarcerated for bringing his foreign made goods to our country, fought his case with the confidence and self assurance that he was the only died ! in-the-wool. free trade Democrat in the case and the Chancellor was too good a Democrat to decide against him.
 And yet, believing as we do that the way to build up towns and com munities is to keep your money at home as far as possible by patroniz- ing home industries and institutions we feel that this was one of those

Pay for Brynn's Regiment.

Washington, Nov. 30.-The auditor for the war department Wdenesday admitted the claim of Colonel William s Bryan's regiment, the Third Ne nraska volunteers, for s2S.24O, being the rate of pay allowed at state rates for the men of the regiment from the time they reported for duty. during the Spanish-American WET. until they were mustered into the service The claim does not include an item of s5.. 900 claimed by officers of the regi. ment. which amount will doubtless be approved in accordance with the rul ing. As there are about one thousand men in the regiment each man will be men in the regiment, the average amount to each man will be something less than $50.

Shnt hx n Rahher,

Oklahoma City, Ok, Nov. 30.-W. P. DilwoitI;, proprietor or the Dii worth Hardware company store was shot at s o'clock Thursday morning by a man in an attempt to rob the store. At the time of opening a stranger entered the store and asked to see a revolver. He then asked for cartridges which he put into the re- volver and turned it on the clerk, telling him to hold up his hands and turn over the cash in the drawer. MT. Dilworth happening in at the moment was told to hold up his hands. Thinking 1t was a joke hc laughed at him when the man began to shoot, two shots taking effect, one in the wrist, the other in the side. It is thought MT. Dilworth cannot live. The robber escaped.

This is the last country in the world for this. But there is something in this country has had more to do with arousing anarchy than even Herr Most, and that is the willingness of our government to punish little criminal and let big one escape. In the Sherman law there is the punishment by fine and by imprison- ment and I don't believe in the fine.
 What is the use of imposing a fine of $5,000 when the company is making million dollars while the case IS coming to trial.
 And again:
 "I believe that if Congress has the right to say that a lottery ticket cannot cross state line, it has the right to say that a monopoly organ ized to plunder 80 million people shall not use our telegraph and rail- way lines"
 It is such expressions as quoted above that causes Mir. Bryan to be the idol of the people and disliked by trust magnates and other viola ters or the law.

Heart
 Weakness

The action of the heart de- bends upon the heart nerves and muscles. When from any cause they become weak or ex- hausted, and fail to furnish sufficient power, the heart flut- tcrs, palpitates, skips beats; and in it's effort to keep up its work, causes pain and distress, such as smothering spells, short breath, fainting, pain around heart, arm and shoul- ders. The circulation is im- peded, and the entire system suffers from lack of nourish- ment.
 Dr. Miles Heart Cure makes a heart strong and vigorous by strengthening these nerves and muscles.
 'I had palpitation and pain around my heart. and the doctors said it was incurahle. l don't believe 1t now, for after taking six bottles of pr Niles Heart Cure, three bottles of the Nervine and three boxes of the Nerve and Liver Pills l am entirely cured. and feel better than I have for five years. and 1t IS all due to these remedies | want. you to know that your medicines cured me.
