CARRY FIGHT TO THE GRAVE
Question of What Constitutes Union
Coffin Causes Latest Labor Spat.

Chicago. Aug. 2.-The fight be-
tween the woodworkers and the car
penters unions here has reached the
grave. They are now fighting over
what constitutes a union coffin.
The Union Burial association, not
being satisfied with the product
turned out by the only union casket
builder in Chicago has succeeded in
unionizing a coffin factory in Lena,
H., and this product bears the label
of the carpenters union while the
article built in Chicago is stamped
with the woodworkers mark of APP
proval.
"No self-respecting member of the
woodworkers will ever consent TO be
buried in a box built by the carpen-
ters," declared Thomas Cooney, secre
tary of the woodworkers, last night
I'VE will introduce a resolution al
our next regular meeting adopting
cremation as the final disposition OF
our bodies rather than let the car
penters put it over us In the matter
of coffin construction"

WEED no MAKE THIN FOLK FAT
White Plague May BE Nanquished by
Plant Used as Curc-Fcnu-
greek is Its Name.

Washington, ID. C., Aug. 2.-Fenu-
greek may prove the long sought
cure for consumption. That its use
will convert the angles or the thin
nest of ancient maidens into graceful
curves Is established beyond the per
adventure of a doubt All this comes
through the introduction Of a small
weed like plant by the department Of
agriculture. and the development OF
latent qualities of that plant which
have been known and taken advan-
tage OF by the ancient races of the
far east for many thousands OF years.
Among the people living in the
northern portions Of Africa and in
east Asia the traveller has long no.
ticed the predominance of heshy wo-
men. and the closer students Of these
peoples have come to know that the
woman of greatest rotundity is the
reignipg belle.
Explorers Of the department OF
agriculture searching for plants thai

mystical plant was investigated and
found growing abundantly and win
little cultivation.
I It grew close TO the ground and
yielded a seed, yellow and odorous
which was the material that pro-
Iduced the flesh when properly taken
To the surprise of the investigators
this seed was found not to be a
stranger, in that it has long been
generally used In America as the
principal ingredient or condition
powders for stock, and its odor Is
familiar to every farm lad.
The plant was introduced a yea'
or two ago by the department, ane

POOR OLD RANIESES.
Scientists Assert He Wasn't So Many,
After All.

London, Aug. 2.-Egyptologists
claim they have discovered that
Rameses IL. was a fraud and that he
is not entitled to the appellation OF
great. which his lorains have given
him. Recent explorations, it is stated,
have developed the fact that the
many temples and monuments beaI-
ing his name and therefore supposed
10 be his work. existed a thousand
years before him. The explorers be-
lieve the king was vain and caused
his name to be cut everywhere.
Prof. Maville. one of the official
explorers of antiquities in Egypt, had
this to say about Rameses:
"The more we discover about
Rameses the more convinced that he
was a fraud. He was not great in
any way. but his vanity was colossal
To satisfy this, he conceived the idea
of causing his name to be inscribed
on every temple, statue and monu-
ment that he imagined would stand
the test of times The plan succeeded
only too well for many years. In
consequence of II explorers united IN
deciding that he must have ben q
great king. Now we are beginning
to find him out"

A running race between Detective
VIII Bakers two-year-old colt Chief
Collins" and Zach Bryant's mare,
LADY Foster" is a feature race at

bought the colt at Memphis out of a

put up.

sippi, and the whole nation watched
the result; for the defeat OF Will
liams would have been a national
loss. Williams represents the cul-
ture of the old south. Vardaman is
the champion Of bigoted local sent
iment. whose horizon is bounded by
the cetton fields in which its expo
nents work, and which believes the
whole nation is interested in the af-
fairs that occupy their attention az
ter working hours.
Facing this sentiment and the
state organization, John Sharpe VIII
llams went on the hastings and APP
pealed to the better sense of the peo-
pie from the prejudice against the
negro. and just as strong prejudice
against the "aristocrats." He was
facing the same peril that supplanted
Wade Hampton in South Carolina
with Ben Tillman.
The race question was the Varda-
man trump card. He would rouse
the poor whites" against the "aris-
tocratsp and against the negro. al
though the latter has been disfran-
chised in Mississippi these seventeen
years. Vardaman would go to the
senate and advocate the repeal OF
the fifteenth amendment. What OF
the tariff? What of money? what
of trusts? What of railroads? What
of foreign relations? asked John
sharpe Williams, who has a record
in these matters.
Abolish the fifteenth amendment
was the reply Of Vardaman.
Williams made a tactical blundef
in the beginning by STOPPING to dis
cuss such questions with Vardaman
He should have stood on his own
record, demanding the senatorship as
a right, by virtue of faithful service
Vardaman might wait.
But he bravely took the stump ana
evidently he made his point tell; fol-
herein lies the wreck of Vardaman'
ism:
The north has aequesced in the
demand of the south that all race
questions shall be settled by the
south. as conditions demand. There
is no trouble between the better
class of white people and the better
class of black people. Each has his
place in the industrial economy OF
the country and knows it, and 1t is
there only that they come in contact
But Vardaman by raising the sub
ject in the United States senate
would make national issue of the
race question to be settled by the
majority Of the senate, and that ma
ioritv does not come from the south

The Livingston Echo pertinently
shows how State Auditor HageI
could not help being cognizant of q
shortage in the Jefferson county
clerks accounts, of which outsiders
were talking months ago,
1T is too bad that Hager, the
Democratic nominee for governor
has been reflected upon, because OF
the shortage in the accounts of the
.deposed county clerk of Jefferson
county. License blanks are furnished
the county clerk in book form per-
forated and duplicate of each one
issued by the clerks except marriage
license, is sent to the auditor. When
a book is used, the stub book must
be sent back to the auditor, thus ev-
cry blank license must be accounted
for by the clerk-except Semonin, the
deposed clerk, and. perhaps, a few
others"

Kentuckys state immigration
agent, writing from Switzerland,
sends the discomforting news that
workmen are as scarce over there as
over here It is just such asinity,
that interferes with the progress of
the immigration movement. If the
state administration has spent the
peoples money to investigate the Ia
Dor situation in Europe with a view
to inducing cheap foreign labor to
immigrate to America, that is one
thing; and If the state is spending its
money 10 induce a good class of Eu-
ropean farmers to settle on our va
cant land, that is another. Naturally
workmen are going to object, if the
state is inviting labor to America.
We want farmers, and the only In
ducements we have to offer are
cheaper land. better markets and the
right of free citizenship. We don't
care anything about the labor situa-
ton in Switzerland.

Trouble Now Serious.

There are two races in every person ;
blood, one is red race and the other is
white race. The red race represents
food and the white race represents the
scavengers. The red race produces
healthy color in your cheeks, healthy
flesh on your bones, strength, brightness
IN your yes and all the happiness that
comes from good health. The white
race takes the impurities out of the blood
and wards against disease. There can
not be too many Reds" but if there are
too many whites" then the blood is
said to be thin, the face gets pale. and
the whole body is open to attacks of any
