OF MISSOURI
Hi Keeps aTempIe Lot"

Kansas City-The efforts of the Re
organized Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints to obtain possession
of the sacred temple lot" in Independ-
ence, Mo-, have failed again. The lot
is in possession of the Hedrickites, a
small seeding faction of the Nor
mons, and is worth less than $780,
900 in the market, but the Hedrickites
could obtain 1000, 900 for it, as the
Utah Mormons, as well as the reorgan-
lied church, are anxious to procure
It and build OF it the glorious tenn
pie that Joseph Smitk. founder of the
church, foretold should rise upon the
lot. The chairman of the committee
which conferred with Elder Richard
Hill, head of the Hedrickites, concern
ing the lot, reported to the confer
ence of the recognized church that
Elder Hill "bade him rest easy; that
not enough money ever had been
coined and not enough gold was in the
mountains to purchase the lot from
him."

THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
DAYS OF FINANCIAL STRESS
MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK
RICH.

A stan contributor Of a southern
of the return to the farm of many who
had forsaken it for the glitter of the
city. He says: ut is a well known
fact that the history of this Govern
ment shows that those men who have
been most successful in life and who
have left their impress upon its peo-
pie and its institutions as statesmen,
soldiers, financiers-have as a rule
been those whose youth was spent on
the farm, and it is to such as these
that there comes with overmastering
power THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
More especially does it come wi.h re-
doubled responsiveness, greater pow
er and sweeter pleading to the man OF
affairs when the clouds of financial
unrest begin to darken the sky; when
the cry Of panic causes people to lose
their wits and act like stampeded cat
tie; when with reason or without
reason there arises before him the
specter of ruin, grinning in his face
ahu "oNAh6 ITO 6duLb LAlo III NlllCGt
ening gesticulation.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent finan-
cial furry, which happily is now
passed, suggests these reflections.
Some were ruined and a very few be-
came insane because of their losses.
Two or three took their W lives.
1t is when such times come that the
statesman, the great financier, and
the man of affairs becomes tired of
the struggle. He lays down his pen,
turns from his desk and listens to
the CALL OF THE SOIL.
There are hundreds Of cases
throughout the United States of those
who have money in the banks and are
looking for investment in lands. No
investment is better or safer. Take,
for instance, the lands in Western Can
ada that can be bought at from SO to
SIS per acre which yield a revenue.
equal to and often greater than their
original cost. Those lands make a
certain investment. During the past
two months large investments in
these lands have been made, some in
tending to use the lands for farming
purposes of their own. Others to re-
sell to farmer friends. The agents Of
the Government of Canada located at
different points throughout the United
States have in their possession par
ticulars of districts in which there are
free homestead grants of 100 acres
each accessible to railways, markets,
schools, churches, &C. These are val
liable lands. These agents will be
pleased to give information to any de-
sirous Of securing, and will tell alb
about the railway rates, &c.

Senate Hits lniunctions.

Washington-The senate Friday aft
ernoon passed the Overman anti-in'
junction bill, which prevents the is
suance of temporary injunctions by
any United States district judge re-
straining the operation of a state law
in which its constitutionality is in
volved, unless the application has
been first heard and favorably acted
upon by three federal judges, two of
whom must be circuit judges, and
then only after a majority vote.
The measure aims to prevent the
recurrence of any such legal entangle-
ments as brought aDou a crisis be-
tween North Carolina and the South
ern railroad and those in other states
a year ago.

Forest Reserve Doomed.

Washington-With an adverse re-
port, the house committee on judiciary
Friday condemned the plan to have
the United States government Duy
blocks of mountains from New Eng.
land to Florida for a gigantic forest
reserve. Judge John ]. jenkins, the
chairman of the committee, is the au-
thor of the report, which recommends
no action on the project because the
federal government has no constitu-
tional right to establish such a Ie-
serve. Had the project been consum-
mated, it would have cost more than
$1,000, 000,0 0O.
Such a forest reserve has been ad.
vocated by the governors Of the
states interested, by nearly 1000 com

COFFEE EYES.
II Acts Slowly But Frequently Pro-
duces Blindness.

The curious effect of slow daily poi
soning and the gradual building in of
disease as a result, is shown in mum
bers of cases where the eyes are af.
fected by coffee.
A ase in point will illustrate:
A lady in Oswego, Mont, expert
enced a slow but sure disease setting
upon her eyes in the form of increas-
ing weakness and shooting pains
with wavy, dancing lines of light, so
vivid that nothing else could be seen
for minutes at a time.
She says:
"This gradual failure of sight
alarmed me and I naturally began a
very earnest quest for the cause.
About this time l was told that cof-
fee poisoning sometimes took that
form, and while l didn't believe that
coffee was the cause Of my trouble, I
concluded to quit it and see.
Il took up Postum Food Coffee in
spite Of the jokes of Husband whose
experience with one cup at a neigh.
boris was unsatisfactory. Well, I
made Postum strictly according to d.
rections, boiling it a little longer, be-
cause of u high altitude. The result
was charming. I have now used Pos
tum in place Of coffee for about 3
months and my eyes are well. never
paining me or showing any weakness.

OF the trouble was coffee and the cure
was in quitting 1t and building up the
nervous system on Postum, for that
was absolutely the only change I made

Submarine Limit Knocked Out.

Washington-The long existing con-
troversy as to whether the United
States navy should have submarine
torpedo boats of the Holland type, as
recommended by the committee on
naval affaffirs was settled in the house
of representatives Thursday when,
after a lengthy and lively debate, the
proviso limiting the secretary Of the
navy to purchase only boats of the
Holland type was stricken out. The
effect of this action was to give the
secretary a free hand in the selection
of submarine boats.
The members haggled over almost
every line of the three pages of the
bill remaining to be disposed of, when
the house met, but the principal &C

PHOTOGRAPHERS STOP SUIT.


Chicago, Ill,-After a jury had
been accepted in a breach of promise
case in which Miss Ellen Hoda is
suing Joseph Mayte for 81, 900 dam
ages, Municipal Judge Bruggemeyer
refused to proceed with the hearing
of the case because the parties to the
suit had been photographed in his pri-
vate chamber by newspaper men.

Il understand that the litigants in
this case were taken into my pri-
vate chambers, lined up against the
wall and photographed by newspaper
men without my consent or knowl-
edge. | will not have this case tried
in this court and someone should be
fined for contempt"
The attorneys could not induce the
judge to change his mind and were
forced to seek another court.
