An Indians View of an Organ.

After a while curiosity led me back to the sod house, and I saw for the first time how the white woman pumps so much air into a box that when she presses on the top board it howls con vulsively. l forgot my bashfulness so far as to listen openly and enjoy the operation, wondering much how the white man puts a pair of lungs into a box, which is furnished with whole set Of black and white teeth, and when he sings to it it appears to an swer him. This is how the white peo- pie teach their children to do things, thought.-From the Outlook-Dr. Charles A. Eastman's "Schooldays of an Indian"

STOMACH ON STRIKE
SUCCESSFUL TONIC TREATMENT
 FOR INDIGESTION.
Dr. Williams Pink Pills Cured Thja Woman and Have Cured Many Hundreds of Other Cases of
 Common Ailments


 Loss of appetite, coated tongue. had taste in the mouth, heavy dull headache and a dull, sluggish feeling these are the symptoms of stomach trouble. They indicate that the stomach is on strike: that it is no longer furnishing to the blood the full quota of nourishment that the body demands, hence every organ suffers.
 There are two methods of treatment. the old one by which the stomach is humored by the use of predigested foods and artificial ferments, and the new one by which the stomach is toned up to do the work which nature intended of it. A recent cure by the tonic treatment is that of Mrs. Mary Stackpole, of 81 Liberty street, Lowell, Mass. She says. II suffered constantly for years from stomach trouble and terrible backaches and was confined to my bed the greater part of three years. l was under the care of our family physician most of the time, but did not seem to get better.
 II was completely rundown and was not able to do my work about the house. My blood was impure and my complex ion pale. l suffered from flashes of heat, followed suddenly by chills. I had awful headaches, which lasted from three to four days. could get but little rest at night, as my sleep was broken and fitful. As result I lost several pounds in weight and became very ner- vouS.
 "I was in a wretched condition when I heard about Dr. Williams Pink Pills. started to take the pills at once and began to gain in weight and health. I was encouraged by this to keep on until 1 was cured My friends and neighbors often remark what D changed woman am and owe it al to Dr. Williams Pink Pills"
 These wonderful pills are useful ill & wide range of diseases such as anRmia, rheumatism, sciatica, neuralgia, nervous headaches, and even locomotor ataxia and partial paralysis.
 The great value of Dr. Williams Pink Pills lies in the fact that they actually make new blood and this carries health and strength to every portion of the body. The stomach is toned up, the nerves are strengthened, every organ is stimulated to do its work.
 Dr. Williams Pink Pills are sold by all druggists, or sent postpaid, on receipt of price, 90 cents per box, six boxes for &. 90, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y.

4 substitute for beeswaX has been discovered in the leaves of the rafia palm, a product of the Island of Madagascar The wax is extracted by the simple process of beating the dried leaves on a mat to small bits. The particles are then gathered and boiled. The resultant wax is kneaded into small cakes. Experiments are being made with the new substance to find out it's commercial value-whether it may be used for bottling purposes, in the manufacture of photograph cylin- ders, etc Thus with artificial wax and artificial honey the bee is likely to be driven out of business.

Government. Built Warships.

The government builds the best ships that float. That is certain. The Con- necticut is the finest vessel of her rate and size in the world, and she was built in government navy yard. Gov ernment money is spent honestly. There are no fights and squabbles to get what the contracts call for. If it does cost little more money it is worth it. In the progress of building up our navy for the last 2 years We are gradually getting to what is the nucleus of a very fair navy. We who are interested in the upbuilding of the navy, says Rear Admiral Joseph E.. Coghlan, L. S. N., in Leslie's Weekly, want more ships. We are to-day en- 6eavoring to get what we have been quietly working for the last 15 years that is, large ships with large bat going classes and the merchants are conservative. It takes a long time to change them Take. for instance, the case of the first monitor. It took the government a long time to adopt the plans. These monitors were intended for smooth water and not to go to sea. In the early days we were occupied in getting this type of vessels made into a battleship. We didn't want the mon itors because they were unstable. It is only when we get the big battle ships, whose movements are so slow and steady. that we get the best re suits for warfare

The first building ever erected in the United States for the public use of the federal government, under the constitution, was the mint at Philadel- phia. Robert Morris, the patriotic flnancier of the war of independence, was first to bring up the question of a national mint, and it was he who worked with Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton to induce con. gress to adopt the decimal system of money arithmetic.

some royal road, easier and smoother than the beaten one.
 The little king of Spain, when he first heard the expression royal road to learning" said mournfully; Please let us take some ether way, for the royal way seems always the hardest"
 Unconsciously he spoke the truth the royal way is the hardest, but it is the only right way. And it saves us the weary retracing of many steps made along another path that for the time had seemed a pleasanter one.
 The earlier that most important les son of think for yourself' is learned the earlier will you arrive at the des- tination where you would be. Use your own mind, do not rely on some one else to supply you with thoughts. In- quire into what vou are doing, know the why and wherefore. That in it. self does not imply that you are to question the correctness of views ad- vanced by those of experience, but that you should find out how they reach such conclusions and their reasons for doing so. To think for ourselves in every direction and in every detail of our daily lives helps naturally, and as we'll in the advancement of our art-for after all our art is the result of everything that we have learned. Genius is willing to lay the founda- ton of her structure unobserved."

Sheriff MN. Limehouse, of Dor
chester county, was tried in Orange
burg last week for malefeasance in
Office or, in other words, criminal
cowardice. The jury after being out
about one hour and a half, returned
verdict of not guilty.
It will be remembered that a posse
of men took Will Spain, negro, ac-
cused Of attempt at criminal assault
upon little white girl last August,
from the sheriff in broad daylight
and lynched him.
The matter was investigated by
Governor Hayward and he was sus-
pended, and the grand jury found a
true bill. The case was transferred
to Orangeburg county for trial. The
case was tried last week with the re-
suit that the sheriff was acquitted.
He will again take the sheriff's Of
fee.

M|SDIRECTED FRIENDSHIP
INVOLVES NEW OFFENSE
(By the Associated Press. }

PACIFIC GROVE, Cal, Aug. A.
A curious instance of misdirected
friendship, which involves a new Of
fense against military law, occurred
at the Preside of Monterey in con
nection with the Pacific small-arm
competition, which was finished ,es-
terday. One of the best soldiers
among the enlisted men and fifth in
order of craftsmanship at the
opening of the shoot, was Sergeant
William H. Shree of Troop F, Four
teenth cavalry. He had friend am
bilious to obtain place on the rifle
team going to Fort Sheridan for the
national competition. His friend was
less sure shot. The rifle range at
the Preside is cut through a pine
forest and Shree, hiding behind a
convenient cover, fired from there at
a target, at which his friend was sup
posed to be aiming when the signal
was given. The friend firing wide,
so as not to show any surplus of bull
let marks. On one occasion Shree
withheld his fire too long and his
shot rang out after the rest of the
squad had ceased This aroused the
suspicion of the authorities and on
investigation Spree was discovered,
taken to the guard house and his
name struck from the rolls of the
competition. He now awaits trial for
his novel offense.

FORTY PASSENGERS
LOSE THEIR LIVES
LOCOMOTIVE JUMPS THE TRACK
AND CARS PLUNGE INTO THE
RIVER LORE.
(By the Associated Press

Anglers, France, Aug. 4.--Forty
passengers in a third-class railroad
car and the engineer of the train,
were drowned this afternoon in Il
railroad accident three miles west of
this town. The locomotive of q
crowded local train jumped the track
when entering the bridge over the
river Lore at Les Ponte De C e. The
stone railing gave way and the en-
gine plunged into the river 50 feet
below, dragging down with it its
tender and the baggage and third
class cars. Fortunately no other cars
went into the water, as the coupling
between the second and third cars
broke.
The conductor and fireman were
the only persons whose lives were
saved They. escaped by swimming.
The third-class car was well filed
with passengers, but although part
of the roof was blown off by the con-
fined air, as it sank, not single
passenger extricated himself, and all
were drowned like rats in trap.

HARD FOUGHT
LEGAL BATTLE
(By the Associated Press. }

PITTSBURG, Aug. 4.-What
promises to be hard fought and
sensational legal battle between the
city of Pittsburg and the Philadel-
phia Company, $19,00O,0O0 subsi-
diary concern of the Railway Invest
ment company of San Francisco,
which controls the public utilities of
Allegheny county, is an effort un-
der way to annul the charters of the
company. In the meantime the To-
cal government is taking vigorous
action to collect nearly three quar-
ters of million dollars arrearage
bills for bridge tolls, street cleaning
along the right of way of the Pitts
burg Railways company, subsidiary
company, and for back rent for street
cars. An Injunction restraining the
Philadelphia company from raising
the price of natural gas five cents a
thousand feet has been filed in the
local courts. The trial is attracting
much attention throughout the coun-
try, especially in this city, where
over a million people are concerned
in the control of the gas. electric
light and street car facilities by the
Philadelphia company.
