A DAY AT JAMESTOWN. :
Those Who Have Been There Say Its
 Worth Seeing.

Washington,July 11---Washington or the District of Columbia, had a day at the Jamestown tercentennial exposition. scheduled in between Geor. gia mad Virginia days, while the Ma toinal Editorial association was in convention. here, very large attend ance resulting.
 The exposition is well worth seeing from its many historical and educa- tional features and is peasant place to spend few days prohrably. 1he natural advantages of the beautiful To- cation, with its miles or water front, adorned with two handsome piers, are enhanced by the many attractive state and government buildings, whose simple architectural designs are in harmony with the early nature of the event the exposition commentaries. vix:-the first settlement of our coun- try at Jamestown, 1907.
 The government has spared on pains in it's many handsome buildings filled with exhibits both interesting and in- structive. and each state represented has outdone itself in demonstrating tis particular industries and resour- ces.
 On the "warpath" much life and pollity are to be found, as we'll as more serious but equally interesting features of history and travel. Here one may witness ostrich farming in Africa, gold mining in Alaska. the streets of Cairo, or the burning of San Francisco, take a charming trip through the grand canyon of Coio- rado or the ice gorges of the Alps, or study the Filipinos or the Esquimaux at close range. You can laugh in the tolls of the mirror maze, marvel at the intelligence of Princess Trix!e the beautiful white horse. enjoy the exquisite grace of the Spanish dan cers, wonder at Pharoh's daughter. visit HeII's Gate or fairy land. or ad- mire the mastery of science in the baby incubator exhibit.
 It is on the "warpath" that the pa- triotic delight. in the beautifully gra- phic and artistic reproduction of the fight between the Monitor and the Merrimac, or the strikingrepresenta- ton of Paul Reyere's ride. and where the old soldiers grasp each others hands and sigh as thy review the realistic battle scenes of Gettysburg and Manassas. the latter the only southern victorreverdepicted upon the canvas of a cyelorama.

Many persons have suppressed the fact that on June 27 the republicans in the New York state senate block ed the passage of a resolution provid- ing for an investigation of the charges made against Roosevelt by Judge Parker and E. H. Hartman concerning the republican campaign fund of 1904. But such is the fact says a New York correspondent. The resolution recited that reports inspir- ed by the promoters of corporate in terests in New York distinctly charge that the managers of the re- publican campaign of 1904 solicited and accepted large contributions of money from corporations, with the understanding that President Roose- welt and the national government should, in consideration thereof. grant certain concessions and favors to those who furnished the money; and declared that it is the duty of the state legislature to investigate and prove the truth or falsity of such reports, in the interest of public morals and good citizenship. It then provided for raising a joint commits sion of nine members representing the governor. the senate and the as- sembly, to conduct such investigation and make full report thereon. There was a motion for its adoption; but objection was made and it was re- ferred to the committee on finance by Senator Ralnes, who was acting as president of the senate. Now. is there any reason why the truth should not be ferreted out in re- spect to the connection of Roosevelt and Cortelyou with the scandalous doings of the corporations in 1904? As Mr Rooseyelt's party friends con- trol the legislature f he fails to de- mand such an investigation it will impress the voters with the fact of the corruption that existed in his campaign.

The Western railroads have raised their freight rates five per cent by changes in classification. This shows how futile the Roosevelt rate legis- lation is to protect the public from the corporations. Yet some people want MT Roosevelt renominated, without thinking that his plan of re- ducing railroad rates is a total fail- ure. The only rate reduction that has been accomplished has been by state legislation and Mir Roosevelt's plan, as explained in his Indianapolis speech, is to take the power to reduce rates from the states and concentrate all such power in the federal gov ernment.

THURSDAY, JULY Il, 1907.

The board of police commissioners of San Francisco have taken steps to test the question whether the federal government can make a binding treaty whose provisions encroach upon the police powers of state. It refused to grant to two Japanese sub jects permits to keep intelligence offices in San Francisco. The Japs claimed that such refusal was a vio- lation of their treaty rights. The board denies that they can have any treaty right in derogation of the states reserved powers.

German officials at Chemnitz in charge of fire protection are much interested in a new form of fire es- cape, lately perfected by Swiss en- gineer, and now introduced by a Viennese manufacturer. It consists of a series of folding iron ladders, at- tached to window frames. Each one reaches from one window to the next one below it. By turning a crank on any floor all of the frames beneath are unfolded in less than a minute and form a continuous means of com- munication to the round.

After having shot and wounded S. A.

to shoot the sheriff of Lawrence coun-
ty and the town marshal of Silver
Creek, a negro desperate named Simon
Ward was shot and instantly killed by
the town marshal of Silver Creek on
board q Gulf and Ship Island train
near Make, while the train wasSnder

Ward created q disturbance in the
negro coach, but could find no n to
take up a quarrel there. He said he
wanted to fight, and fight aboard the
train. The desperate then went into
the coach reserved for white passen-
gers. Brandishing two pistols, the ne
gro dived in among the white people.
The sheriff ordered him to surrender,
and for reply the negro sent a bullet In
the direction of the officer, which went
wild. Showes attempted to quell the
disturber, who shot the white man.
The town marshal of Silver Creek then
drew his pistol and commanded the ne
gro to drop his weapons. Ward refused
and fred at the marshal. The latter
then riddled the body OF the negro.

COFFEE COMPLEXION.
Many Ladies' Have Poor Compilations

Coffee caused dark colored blotches
on my face and body. I had been

blotches gradually appeared, until
finally they became permanent and
were about al dark as coffee itself.

ion as one could ask for.
when l became convinced that cot
fee was the cause of my trouble, 1

cording to directions, / liked it very
much, and have since that time used
it in place of coffee.

drinking coffee, and my complexion is
now as fair and good as it was years
ago. 1t is very plain that coffee caused

Most bad compilations are caused
by some disturbance of the stomach
and coffee is the greatest disturber of
digestion known. Almost any woman

Coffee and nutritious, healthy food in
proper quantity. Postum furnishes
certain elements from the natural

travagant nigger-show-the show
which to me had no peer and whose
peer has not yet arrived, in my ex-

joyed, the first act of everything
which Wagner created, but the effect
that one act was quite sufficient;

entire opera the result has been the
next thing to suicide. But if l could
have the nigger-show back again, in
its pristine purity and perfection, l

CLEMENCEAU WINS
SOCIALISTS PROVE NO MATCH
FOR FRENCH LEADER.
VOTE CONFIDENCE IN GOVERNMENT
Master Of Parliamentary Debate Cites
Years in Which He Had Fought
Oppression.

Paris. France.-The chamber OF
deputies by a decisive majority of 120
after an exciting eight hour debate,
voted confidence in the governments
policy regarding the wineg.owers'
movement.
Premier Clemenceau's victory was
more decisive than his most ar
dent friends had expected. Dur
ing the session the extreme social
lists put forward speaker after speaker
from the south, but Notwithstanding
their savage attacks they proved ne
match for M. Clemenceau, who is a
past grand master in parliamentary
debate.
The premier based his defense
of the governments use of force upon
the ground that the situation in the
south, with two hundred municipali-
ties striking and their population re-
fusing to pay taxes, could not be toll
Grated.
With consummate skill he re-
piled to the ~reproaches that he had
become reactionary by recalling the
long years during which he had fought
against oppression and injustice and
by referring to the time when, as of
Montmartre under the commune he
almost sacrificed his life in endeavor-
ing to save French officers from a
mob.
After Clemenceau had conclud-
ed, M. Jaures, the socialist leader, at
tempted to turn the tide, but it was
too late to make an impression and by
a succession of votes the cabinet was
sustained.
