New York, March 1S.-Speaking be-

Secretary Taft expressed an optimis-

of the colored race in the United
States. After presenting an array OF
statistics to show the progress of the
American negro since the day, of free
dom, the secretary declared that this
growth in intellect, learning and indus

domination in the south was, he said,

vantage of education the colored pop
ulation would take it's proper place In

CASTOR OIL IN PILLS.

Most everyone has an impression
that the oil in Castor Oil is the gem
eral that routs the enemy of mankind,
constipation. This has been proven
to be erroneous; and if we stop to
think this impression should never
have been entertained, for if the oil
had this property, any other oil would
do as well. But lard oil, whale Oil, or
animal oils will not act on the bowels.
Ever think of that? We learn that it
is the nauseOus, acrid particles in Cas-
tor Oil which nourishes the bowel
nerves and thus relieves constipation.
The only way to take this valuable
medicine and get the effect without
the taste is TO ask your druggist for d
sweet little pill called Blackburn's
Castor-Oil-Pills. Mr.. Blackburn CON
trolls the manufacturer of this Won
derful new remedy and it is sold by all
leading druggists in ten and twenty
five cent packages. It is stated that
this new remedy is pleasurable in its
effect on the bowels, and is recon-
mended for old and young.

PROH|S ARE LIVELY.
DryS in the State of Ohio Will
Try Hard to Make Rose
Bill a Law.
THE VETS TO ACT ALSO.

Steubenville, %, March 2-Prohibi-
ton will enliven the coming campaign
in this state as it has not stirred up
the politicians for many years.
The Ohio senate has passed the
amended Rose county local option bill.
This bill provides that when 80 per
cent of the qualified electors of the
county shall petition for a special
election it shall be ordered held in
not less than twenty or more than thir-
ty days after the filing of the petition.
The result is to be reported to the
Common Pleas court, and the court
record, if showing against the sale. is
to be taken as prima facie evidence
that the sale or giving away of intox-
lcants after thirty days is prohibited
and unlawful under the provisions OF
the bill. Residence districts, villages,
or townships now dry cannot be made
wet by county election, but wet res
idence districts, villages, or townships
may be made dry by a county cleo
ton. The penalties grow with repeat
ed violations, ranging from $50 to 5000
and then a violator may be placed I'M
der bond of $1,000 to observe the
law.
The proposed law provides that it
shall take effect Sept. 1 next. The
electors who elect to have prohibition
! in county, also elect the officers 10
enforce the law. There can be no
change in the election of a county I'M
der three years.
These matters are now before the
voters of the big Buckeye domain and
the issue is sure TO be closely drawn.
The wet. people will put forth their
best efforts to kill the bill and TO vote
in their own men in almost every
county office, so that the pot will be
| boiling in practically every voting
precinct in the state.
The prohibition people are planning
to cast a heavy vote whether or not
the Rose bill becomes a law and is
put in force.

on this charge in less than two years.
Guilty. he mumbled in answered to

the court. Herbert was then led away
to the county Jail, which is now almost
home to him.
How the man fell from grace is an
old story-a will power too weak to
overcome an inherited appetite for in
toxicants. OF his better days the man
has little or nothing TO say. He has n
wife and two children and his treat
ment of them while crazed with drink
has on several occasions brought the
authorities to his rescue.
1t is stated that his faithful wife has
at last deserted him, being forced to do
SO for the protection of herself and
children. Herbert is an intelligent
man and well educated. His case is
one of the peculiar ones that frequent
ty puzzles the police.
