American Flag lnsuIted.

Manila Aug.-The American news papers here are criticising the admin is, G = t,sa ti Z, q lara iency and it's blindness to the incen- diary attitude of the political agita- tors. The Times says the recent cleo tions were an expression of a spirit which, if unchecked, will surely entail serious consequences. Americans here, especially the veterans and the mili- tary, are incensed at the repeated in- suits that are offered to the American flag, and they have called mass meeting, headed by Presbyterian minister and by leading lawyers and merchants. They propose to petition the commission for legislation that will insure respect for the flag. This movement is the outcome of recent Nationalist celebration, when a mob paraded the strets bearing few tiny American flags and 150 large kati- punan (rebeD flags, which they fiaunt- ed in the face of American ex-soldiers amid excited cries of Independence" " Afterward they assembled in front of the veterans hall and played "Aguin- aldo's March"

He Was Not to Blame,

Little Bartholomew's mother over- heard him swearing like a mule driver. says the Cleveland Leader. He displayed a fluency that overwhelmed her. She took him to task, explaining tie wickedness of profanity as well as it's yulgarity. She asked him where he had learned all those dreadful words. Bartholomew announced that Cavert, one of his playmates, had taught him. Cavert's mother was straightway informed and Cavert was brought to book. He vigorously de- nied having instructed Bartholomew, and neither threats nor tears could make his confess. At last he burst out: q didn't tell Bartholomew any cuss words. Why should I know how to cuss any better than he does Hasn't his father got an automobile, too?"

Oklahoma City Surprised Narrow.
 Minded New Yorker.

Oklahoma amazes an customer. The wide, asphalted streets, the plate glass fronts of department stores, the clean sidewalks, the well-dressed, unhurried shoppers, the finish, the metropolitan air you find in Oklahoma City, for ex- ample, seem marvels to find in a ter ritory only IT years old. But do not say so.
 A New Yorker who went there on business complained that fate was thrusting him into wilderness, and his Oklahoma associates could not re- assure him. But coming down to breakfast the first morning, at his hotel in Oklahoma City, he stared around in wonder as he entered the dining-room.
 "This," he exclaimed, "this is Okla homa!! Why, do you know?" conf dentially, q even found a porcelain bathtub in my room"

Would Block Hau's Efforts.

Karlsruhe, Aug.-Members of the Molitor family have published several letters intended to break down the eff forts of Karl Hau's counsel to find evi- dence exculpating him on the charge of murdering his mother-in-law, Fra1 Molitor. The letters throw light upon the case as regarded by the defense. Prior to the trial, Dr. Dietz, counsel for the prisoner, wrote to Hau's wife, April 12, saying. "As matters stand to- day there is no hope of acquittal." Dr. Dietz added that he hoped that the opinion of Professor Aschaeffenburger of Cologne, the expert in mental dis eases, would set forth that Hau was responsible for his acts only in di- unfinished degree, and that the jury would render a verdict denying that he committed the murder with premedi. tation.'

State Capital Notes

of that or any other amount. Neither is any usage, however long endured, of paying money out of any fund in the treasury without an appropriation a justification for further disregardng the law and continuing to do so.
 No appropriation has been made according to law except the $1,0OO,000, s although the levy has been made to produce fund to be used in payment of the capitol building, when it is properly appropriated.
 Two sessions of the legisla ture have met and adjourned since the appropriation inquired about was made. There is why they should not have extended the appropriation or made new ones according to the right and essity of the case, and their not having done so, warrants official because of their failure and because of the authority to build the state capitol at a cost of certain sum, and because the money Is in the treasury to be paid therefor when appropriated. in saying that an appropriation has been made, or i saying in the face of the constitution that the appropriation did not expire lapse and become unavailable at the end of the period of two years from the time it was made, or on April 16, 1905. There has been no appro- pration of money since that day, and no money has been legally expended upon the work of the capitol since the expiration of said appro- pratio
 The new capitol must be completed The people through their legislature have said it was needed. They have authorized it to be built at sum fixed and limited by the law and contract, they have ample money to com plete the building in accordance with their contract already made, but this department will not say that more money can be expended for such purpose than was appropriated, noH will it say directly in the teeth of the con- stitution the paramount law, that the money in the state capitol fund in the treasury be paid for the completion of this work except by act of the legislature appropriating it in accordance with the constitutional require ments
 This condition is regretable, but the legisla- ture and the capitol commissioners were the officials charged with this important duty. and they alone could have remeded it.

THE STANDARDS STORY
Oil Company Claims Innocence in the
 Rebate Case.

New York, Aug.-The directors of the Standard Oil Company have is. sued a pamphlet to its employees and stockholders relative to the fine of $29,240,000 imposed on the Standard Oil Company of Indiana. The pam phlet contains statement from Presi- dent Moffatt, president of the Stand ard Oil Company, and number of editorial articles favorable to the com pany taken from various American newspapers. The especially note worthy feature of the pamphlet is it's introductory statement, which is as follows:
 The directors of the Standard Oil Company in printing this pamphlet de- sire to emphasize for the half million people directly interested in it's wei fare the assurance of the company's absolute innocence of wrongdoing in any of the prosecutions lately institut- ed against it in the federal courts. Par ticularly is this so in the present Chi cago and Alton case, made notorious
 
 imposed on the Standard Oil Company of Indiana.
 Tt should be known as widely as possible that this is no case of rebate or discrimination, but simply of the legality of freight rate. It should be known that the verdict was obtained by the government upon the most hair | splitting technicalities, aided by the rigorous exclusion of evidence that would have removed all presumption of guilt.
 "If the judgment in question be al lowed to stand, the company will be | forced to pay $20000 Chat is, 50 times the value of the oiD for every carload carried over the Alton road during two years at an open 6-cent rate, a rate used over three competing rail roads for from 10 to 14 years. The trial judge refused to allow proof that the 6-cent rate had been filed by the | Chicago and Eastern Illinois, and was therefore legal rate.' He refused to allow proof that linseed oil, for in stance, was carried at s cents, and other bulky commodities as low as ) cents. He insisted that IS cents was the only legal rate for oil, when no one had ever paid it, and when it was authoritatively shown that it did not apply to oil
 "The case has been taken on appeal to the higher courts, to which we must look for that calm judgment which will rescue the rights of the citizens from the field of public clamor and from the domain of vindicative politics.

WHAT'S THE USE?
To Pour in Coffee When It Acts as
 Vicious Enemy.

Fasters have gone without food for many days at time but no one can go without sleep For a long time I have not been sleeping well, often lying awake for two or three hours during the night but now l sleep sound every night and wake up refreshed and wig orous," says a Calf. woman.
 Do you know why? It's because I used to drink coffee but I finally cut it out and began using Postum. Twice since then I have drank coffee and both times I passed sleepless night, and so 1 am doubly convinced coffee caused the trouble and Postum re- moved it.
 My brother was in the habit of drinking coffee three times day. He was troubled with sour stomach and would often notice him getting soda his stomach; lately hardly a day passed without dose of soda for re lief.
 Finally he tried cup of Postum and liked it so well he gave up coffee and since then has been drinking Postum in it's place and says he has not once been troubled with sour stom. ach."
 Even after this lady's experience with coffee her brother did not suspect for time that coffee was causing his sour stomach, but easily proved it.
 Coffee is not suspected in thousands of cases just like this but it's easily proved. A ten days trial works won. ders. There's Reason"

The Manchester canal was built at a cost of $75,0O0,000 to reduce freight rates for distance of 35 miles, and, while it did not prove good inter- est bearing investment on such a large expenditure, it's indirect and more permanent benefits are said to have warranted it.
 Germany has 5000 miles of canal, carefully maintained, besides 1000 miles of other waterway. France, with an area less than we would con- sider a large state, has 5000 miles of canal and in the northern part, where the canals are most numerous, the railways are more prosperous. England, Germany, France, Holland and Belgium are all contemplating further extension and improvement of their canal systems.-Century Maga- zine

BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.
Rash Covered Face and Feet-Would Cry Until Tired Out-Speedy
 Cure by Cuticura.

My baby was about nine months old when she had rash on her face and feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her most, especially nights. They would cause her to be broken in her rest, and sometimes she would cry until she was tired out. I had heard of so many cures by the Cuticura Remedies that I thought I would give them trial. The improvement was noticeable in few hours, and before had used one box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet were well and have never troubled her since. I also used it to remove what is known as cradle cap from her head, and it worked like charm, as it cleansed and healed the scalp at the same time. Mrs. Hattie Currier, Thomaston, Me, June g, 1906."
