Francois Coillard, for many years

Of David Livingstone, the famous ex-
plorer. Coillard was staying at vii

hearing noise and unaccountabIe agi-
tatlon. he ran out of his hut to find the
place invested by the Makololos, under
Sebitomane, mighty chief. Living

felt so indignant at the pillage that,
seeing a man crawling out Of one Of
the huts, he brought down several
blows on his back, which made the
blood start and raised welts. It was

Livingstone in fury by the hair and
threw him to the ground.

plants do not grow IN soils altogether

The city campaign will be
quite interesting from many
leasons-one is purely because
the republicans have been out in

gry-the other reason is be cause
the people are not satisfied, to a
great extent, with The loose ad-

are not confined to either party.
There are some, ofcourse, who
think Devereux has made a good
mayor-these are mostly, but not
entirely the city employees
At this writing. we do not
know who the democrats will
put-many of them think .Deve-
reux should uot ask for third

will make d good strong candi-
date on that ticket.
There are several other Repub-
lican men mentioned among
whom are: J. L Phillips, VIM.
L. Conkling, Jno Black and Jas.
Fl. Easily of the first national
bank. And, too, Mr. Logan Hay
whom this paper espopses Of
course, The Forum does not have
any idea as to whether or not
Mr.. Hay will even entertain such
a thing, but, in our opinion,
should he come out, he would be
indcmitable, and make a good
mayor. The same is, in our
opinion, true of Mr.. Easily, and
the others named. but the other
three men are likely to have old
sores scratched and be knitted for
some alleged wrong; while Mr..
Easy nor Mr.. Hay are not thus
contaminated. Griffith or Conk-
ling are good enough for us-the
question is: Is there a Republi-
can faction against them? If
not they should stand as good a
chance as the other Resublicans
mentioned.

Sacredness Of
Opportunity.

"
The one thing that comes and
goes with time, is oppoi tunity
Every moment of time marks
the'birth of an opportunity. 1t
also marks the decline of anoth-
.er, and still perhaps the death
OF another. Opportunities are com
ing and going perpetually. When
time has passed the opportuni
ties are gone for ever. We can
no more recall opportunity than
past time. So the passing of
Time Of time under any and all
circumstances and conditions.
must mean at least this much to
everyone of US the passing of an
opportunity. 1t may be possible
for us to seize the seed CT an op
portunity in a passing moment
but in that seed there are con.
cealed untold possibilities which
may bud and blossom and bear
fruit in the future. But if the
seed is lost all the possibilities of
that opportunity hav.. passed
with the passing of time. The
only possible good that can come
from LOST opportunity is it's refe x
action when we discover the val
ue of that which we have lost.
When we realize the loss of an
opportunity, we are aroused to
seize with greater alacrity those
which are now before US, and
which are to come ia the future.
This produced such a real regret
and remorse Oh our part that we
shall ever be more on the alert
to grasp opportunities. during
their life time, just while they
are before us, ere they pass on to
leave only trail of sadness be-
hind. Human opportunities all
have their dawn, their noon tide,
their even. tide and last of all,
their night. 1t is true that some.
times the dawn comes gradually.
like the break Of day. Some
times but short time after the
dawn of an opportunity, it's noon
tide seems to have been reached,
the time of greatest good is here
Did we make the mos of the
noon tide, or did we let it pass,
thinking that the noon tide blaze
would shine indefinitely. just as
an opportunity has dawned and
high noon is reached, now is the
time for our greatest effort, for
night is surely drawing on. The
Jlme OF darknuss is coming when
you will not be able TO carry for
ward your chosen work. We
must take the current when it
serves or lose our ventures.
Our hands are full of business,
lets away. Advantages feeds
them fat, while men delay. Op-
porCunity is, in respect to time,
in some sense, as time is in re-
spect to eternity; it is the small
moment, the exact point, the
critical minute on which every
good work SO much depends.

Race Problem All Important.

tive study OF the race question,
but l wish l could impress you
with my belief that it overshad-
ows all other questions IN its i'm
portance, in its deadly menace to
the perpetuity of our free insti-
tutions.
I'VE must bear in mind that
the worst effects of negro enfran
chiSement have thus far been
averted by the political solidarity
of the southern whites and by
educational qualifica ations which
TO large ex ent have barred the
negro from political power and
influence, The latter expedient
is a mere makeshift and the for
mer can not endure.
IF it be objected that educa-
tion would give the negro high
er sense of his duty as citizen.
IT may be answered, first. tnat
the enfuercs of corruption would
work fsster than that of educa.
tion, and second, that a mere
book education does not work
such transformation in the
ch aracter of the race.
When we see the storm of a
factitious Indignation aroused by
the just and proper action of the
president in discharging from
the army a negro battalion. when
we see political leaders making
deperate play for the negro vote
by open championship of negro
m urdererS, we get some faint
notion of what would be the per
manent condition of our politics
if the negro should come to
WELD a political power in pro
portion to his nun bers. The fact
stares US in the face that mani
festation of sympathy for these
negro criminals is practically un-
iversal among the educated
negroes of The country. My
countrymen, Iexpress to you my
profound belief that there is
enough poison in the fifteenth
amendment to destroy the whole
constitution. u. S. Senator E.
w. Carmaek of Tennessee at
Folk Banquet, St. Louis.
Carmack is young man, so
far as statesmanship goes-he is

He admits that the Negro
question is too hard for him to
solve. Notice What he says of
futileness of the solidarity of the
south, and the educational quail
fication. He admits that they are
malicious obstacles placed in the
Negro's way solely upon caste.
What does Carmack know about
the influence of corruption or
what does he mean-the inter
pre- ta tion is obvious. What does
he mean about a mere book
education?" All Carmack! You
approve he presidents action in
the Brownsville affair. What do
you say about the Supreme
Courts action in the Ed Johnson
case at Chattanooga? That's

NOTABLE medical Discovery.
OF Special Value TO Many Here In
Great Bend.

One of the most notable discoveries
and one that undoubtly appeals more
than anything else to many people
here in Great Bend is the combination
of stomach remedies in the Mona
treatment. This prescription has
worked wonders, and there is now
no excuse for anyone suffering with
indigestion or weak stomach.
1t acts specifically upon the mus
cles Of the stomach and bowels,
Strengthening and stimulating them
so that they readily take care of the
food that is eaten. 1t also increases
the flow Of gastric juices, thus getting
from the food the nourishment that j:
necessary for health and energy.
The symptoms of indigestion are
numerous, such as distress after eat
ing. fiatulence, heartburn, sick head
ache, dizziness and irritability. Thes
are all dispelled by a few doses o
Mona when the trouble is recent
but just as surely in long standing
and chrouic cases if the treatment il
followed for a reasonable length O
time.
