A SlMfLE SAFEGUARD In BUY.
ING PAINT.

Everybody should know how simple
and easy it is to avoid all uncertainty
in buying paint materials. There are
many so-cailed white leads on the
market, which contain chalk. zinc,
barytes, and other cheap adultcrants.
Unless the property owner takes adj
vantage CT the simple means OF pro-
lection afforded him by reliable white
lead manufacturers, he runs great
risk of getting an inferior and adul-
terated white lead.
1t Is to protect the paint-buyer
against fraud and adulteration that
National Lead Company, the largest
makers OF genuine Pure White Lead,
place their ia nous dutch Boy Paint
er" trademark on every keg Of their
product, an absolute guarantee Of its
purity and quality. Anyone who wants
to make practical test OF white lead,
and who wants valuable free book
about painting, should address Ma
tiolal Lead Company, Woodbridge
Bldg, New York, and ask for test
equipment.

cent race riots, adjourned Thursday

ments. This makes a total Of III
during the session. Among the in
dictments returned were four against

The report condemns alleged "cow-
ards" among the officials and says:
"We condemn in unmeasured
terms the cowardly, contemplate ac-
ton of those members of the force,
who, having taken the oath of office,
failed to do their duty; men who
were paid from money from the pock-
cts of the people of this city to pro-
tect life and property; men who were
ordered by the heads of departments
of the police to go out and disperse
the mob, and not only failed to use
club, handle a pistol or raise a
voice against the mob, and on the
side Of law and order, but some of
whom are shown to have assisted by
act and word in doing the work that
has brought destruction to thousands
Of dollars of property and has
brought the blush of shame to every
lawabiding citizen of this city.
"We recommend that the civil sero
vice commission of the city Of Spring
field, without fear or favor, and while
evidence can easily be obtained, de-
termine by fair trial who failed to
prove himself a worthy member of
the force, and deal with him accord
ingly."

Birthday of Hollands Queen Cele.
hrated With Great Rejoicing.

The Hague, special.-The twenty
eighth birthday of Queen Wilhelmina
and the tenth anniversary Of her
coronation as ruler Of The Neither
lands, was celebrated with great re-
joicing by the people of !. Holland
Sunday. In this city business was
practically suspended and the day
given over to merry-making. The
joy of loyal Dutchmen is increased
by the report that the queen will
soon be visited by the stork. Two
OF three times previously such re-
port has gone forth, only to end in
disappointment. Unless an heir is
horn to the queen, the throne will
pass to the German branch of the
royal family, and Dutchmen fear
that this will result in finally making
their country a German dependency.
The queen was married in 1901, to
Duke Henry of MeclSlenburg-Sch-
werin. Her married life has been
marred by many quarrels, and this
has served to excite the wrath of the
subjects of the queen, with the re-
suit that her consort is perhaps the
most unpopular man in Holland.

cetween two wires, put the entire po
lice alarm system of the suburb Of
Ballard out of business Saturday. The
police alarm wires from Ballard tc

difficulty lay between the box at Ere

was built on 'hatpir, which touched
