Following colloquy with Senator

the negroes discharged would return
to Texas.

"Why not" interjected Senator
Foraker.
Because the suspicion that might
prevail as to who really did the kill

down there. I wish it wasn't so, but
I can't help it. If he had been dis
charged honorably he could have
come down there and been the biggest
man at negro camp meetings and re-
ceiyed respectful treatment from the
whites.''

him"' persisted Mr.. Foraker.
''Oh," CALCULATED Mr.. Tillman, with
evidence of impatience, Il am going
to discuss the race question directly,0
and as the evidence of amusement at
his retort subsided, he added:
Don't you fret, I am going to get
right down to the milk in the cocoanut,

Senator Tillman convulsed the gal

elimination between the races in
Washington. Negroes are not allow
ed to drink at all the bars in Washing

last three words were given especial
emphasis and the senator waved his

Mr.. Tillman said there were some
times when he wished to be dispas-

Sevea Bales ef Cotton On Three
Acres,

A Texan writing to the Dallas News
tells of his experience in raising cot
ton last year, which was in the nature
of the phenomenal. The owner of a
small farm which he cultivates him
self, planted part of it in cotton. On
a certain three acres he raised $500
pounds or seven 500-pound bales. The
rows were laid out five and half feet
apart, ran north and south. He also
relates that cotton planted in rows
running east and west did not produce
*'nearly so much" as the cotton with
rows running north and south. This
agricultural note, while in a measure
explaining the bountiful cotton crop
of Texas this year, also offers a sug-
gestion that it would be well to plant
cotton in rows running north and
south since by this method the grow
ing cotton gets the benefit of the most
sunshine. Journal.

terrupted for the first time. Senator
Nelson said: would you deny those
privileges to white soldiers?
81 will go as far as any man in CIV
ing white men, either soldiers or citi-
zens, their rights" answered Mr..
Tillman.
ssWhy should not the colored SOL
der, if he conducts himself as a
white soldier, have the same consid-
eration?'' persisted Mr.. Nelson.
s'For the simple reason that God
Almighty made him colored. He did
not make him white," retorted Mr..
Tillman, who added that caste feeling
was universal, that it pulsated even
in the bosom of the senator from
Minnessota (Mr. Nelson).
Mr.. Tillman characterized the pres
ident's action In the Brownsville mat

to produce in the army regulations or
articles Of war any foundation for the
charge Of conspiracy Of silence, mutt

diers, although he declared there was
no doubt that the soldiers were re-
sponsible for the Outrage at Browns

Mr. Tillman held that it. was con-
trary to the fundamental principles Of
liberty of English and American law
that the innocent should suffer be-.
cause of the sins of the guilty; also,
he declared that a man shall be con-
sidered innocent until he ID proved
guilty. sIn this case,'' he said, t167
men have been punished while not
more than 20 have been charged with
participation in the crime.
Tt is useless to deny that the race
question lies at the bottom of all this.
It is equally useles to say that these
troops were discharged because they
were negroes. IF the negroes had
been treated the same way as white
regulars were treated at Athens,

NEED STEAM!
Get IL From Selected Food.

1t is good to know the kind Of food
those with weak stomachs and hearts
can get along with, for when a man or
woman is little below par, an easily
digested food is the thing that goes
right to the spot.
A man In Kirksville, Mo, tells how
he got out of trouble by using Grape
Nuts food. He says: MY trouble was
intense suffering in the stomach. 1t
was called gastralgia, but no medicine
gave any permanent relief.
'In June of last year 1 began to
grow much worse in every respect. I
was terribly censtipated and the stom-
ach pains were severe. / ran down IN
til I weighed only 120 pounds. 1 had
to give up my business for my nerves
were completely unstrung and I could
not sleep more than two or three hours
during the night, and that only by
snatches during a lull In the pain.
81 tried almost every kind of food
but finally was put on Grape-Nuts and
in a little while it began to make it's
worth known. I began to sleep better
nights, my strength gradually came
back, and 1 gained in weight rapidly
until a little while ago I weighed 165
pounds, and have been a well man for
months, with never a touch of the old
trouble.
My bowels are perfect, the nervous
trouble has gone. You can realize
appreciate the value Of Grape-Nuts
food"
This is another evidence of the prac-
teal worth of Grape-Nuts food in cases
OF weak stomach and bad digestion. 1t
is the most scientifically made food in
existence and contains absolutely moth
ing but selected parts of the field
grains, so cooked and -rrer,ared as to
admit of almost immediate digestion
and assimilation, carrying with II the
elements furnished by Mother Nature
for rebuilding the nervous system, the
gray matter Of the brain and the solar
plexus.

body needs, 1t is easy TO get well and
keep well. There's Reason" Read

HOW IL HAPPENED.

Babel, 1883 B. c. Cwires out of order,
forwarded by recollection, subject to
delay),-The Building Trades Council,
comprising the stone masons, brieklay-
ers, carpenters and hod carriers, en-
ployed on the Tower of Babel met yes
terday to fix the new wage scale for
the men employed on the building.
There was so much dissension and
strife among the men as to the proper
schedule of wages that a great quar-
rel ensued. All wanted more money
and a recognition of union, but there
was so much jealousy among the va
r1ous organizations that great confu-
sion was caused. Everyone started to
talk at once, and it soon developed
that each one was speaking a different
language from any of the rest and
which was understood by one. Pat
rick Ranch, business agent of the
Building Trades Council, has inserted
a want ad. in the local papers Offering
a large salary for an interpreter who
can understand all the languages
spoken, but as yet has been unable to
secure one. In the meantime business
operations are at a standstill.

A Simple Prescription
for Stomach Troubles
One That Can Be Mixed at Home

More people suffer from stomach
troubles than from any other disease;
and when the stomach is out Of gear,
the whole system goes wrong; every
thing and everybody seems wrong to
you, and you are the worst in the lot.
Here is a simple prescription that
will tone your stomach and put 1t in
condition to digest your food:
Compound Tincture of Cinchona, one
ounce; Prosene Compound, one ounce,
and Sherry Wine, half a pint; mix
together and take one teaspoonful be-
fore meals and at bed time in wine
glass full of water.
This prescription can be put up by
any druggist.
The Prosene Compound in this pre-
scription is a compound of digestive
ferments and the best vegetable tonics
known to medical science; they in
crease the secretions of the gastric
juices and increase their digestive
power.
We advise that if you are troubled
with your stomach you get this pre-
scription filled at your drug store and
give it a trial.
