HOT WEATHER AHEAD.
How to Keep the Kitchen Cool and
Comfortable in Midsummer.

Many housewife is wondering how
she will pass through the coming
summer months with the stove she
well knows will make the kitchen I'M
bearably hot--to say nothing OF the
dirt, dust and ashes that will add to
the discomfort
There is way out of it ala way
that not only lessons the work and
keeps the kitchen cool, but that also
reduces fuel expense. This conven-
fence, comfort and economy is all ef-
fected by the New Perfection Wick
Blue Flame Oil Cook-Stoye, an oil
stove so superior to other makes that
It is fast replacing the coal and wood
range, the old-fashioned oil stove, and
in many cases the gas stove.
Anyone who has had to wait ten or
fifteen minutes for the fire to get
started, will appreciate the New Per-
faction, which gives a strong working
flame at moment of lighting. Blue
Flame" means the hottest and clean
est flame produced by any stove. The
flame is always under immediate con-
troll and can be raised or lowered in
Stantly. The convenience of this will
be understood when it is considered
that while the flame of one burner is
boiling the kettle or roasting large
joint, that of another can be reduced
to simmering point-in this way enab-
ling the housewife to cook a variety
of dishes at one time.
Then the comfort of it. While the
flame of the New Perfection is in
tensely hot, yet the heat is not thrown
nff MI ic
&c ntrated by blue-enamed chimneys.
On washing and ironing days the
comfort and convenience of the New
Perfection will be greatly appreciated.
1t gives best results in the least time,
and does away with all coal and wood
carrying and the many other disa-
greeable jobs that have to be done
with other stoves. The New Perfec- |
ton is made in three sizes, with one,
two, and three burners, and is war
ranted to give full satisfaction.
Another home comfort is the Rayo
Lamp, which produces light OF unus- |
ual brightness, yet soft and mellow
a light that will not hurt the eyes. |
The Rayo Lamp can be used in any |
room, whether it be library, dining
room, parlor or bedroom. 1t is highly |
being made Of brass |
and beautifully nickeled. |
Every lamp is warranted and makes |
a valuable and handsome addition to
any home.
The New Perfection Wick Blue
Flame Oil Cook-Stove and the Rayo
Lamp are two real essentials to home |
Their easy operation, abso- |
lutte safety and handsome appearance |
them wherever stoves and |
lamps are used.

WorkeS Successful in Es-
Gaping Penitentiary.
DRINK HIS ONLY TROUBLE.
CUT COURT AND ATTRACT At
TENTIoN BECAUSE EACH HAS
LOST AN ARM.

John kantner, Jr., who about two
weeks ago assaulted Joseph Worries

gated the record of the young man and
had found that Kantner had never be-
fore been in any trouble.

attempted to knife Workes because
Workes refused to give him some

prosecutor stated that he had receiv-
ed letters from the chief of police
and the deputy prosecutor at Elwood
and that they stated Kantner had nev-
er been in any trouble before but that
occasionally he went out On sprees.
Owing TO the past good record of the
young man Mr. Jessup stated that
kartner should be shown some len.
iency. Judge Fox fined him $40 and
sentenced him to thirty days in Jail.

against the use of intoxicants and
stated that he had had a narrow es-
cape from being sent to the peniten-
tiary

The Independents Feel That

Active negotiations are on for the

the NEGRO QUESTION.

Discussion of the Race Problem"
has occupied no little space In news
papers and magazines recently, and
most OF the talk before congress In re-
cent months has bee.i tingcd with the
color from some phase OF this ques'
ton. However, nothing said or writ
ten covers the ground so sanely and
adequately as the following from the
Jackson Miss. Clarion-Ledger That
paper says:
can Southern men realize the pun
rency of the negro problem more and
more as they read the speculative and
conflicting views of men like Washing
ton GLADDEN. and the late Carl Schurz
on the subject. They handle the sub
iect with gloves on and with long
pole They have the courage OF the
badly.informed and the tlmidity OF the
apollglst. 1t is disconcerting to men
of that school Of sentiment to observe
that the South by legislation Is doing
more to define the real position of the
negro III our country than the national
government has done or can ever do,
The South educatcs the negro, en-
ploys him, protects his home and busi-
ness, sees that his religious freedom
Is vouchsafed and guards his life so

ical recognition, or for social allilation

ing each other In crimes, or In their
new way OF showing disrespect to white
people, the South holds no doubtful
attitude.
The breach between the race widens
every day-at the North rs well as In
the South. Neither self.lnterest, edu-
cation nor religion seems sufficient to
harmonic them. They go farther and
farther apart with every outside effort
TO bring them together. These things
are facts too palpable to gainsay In
the minds and hearts OF southern pee.
