Thousands Here Will Benefit if Statement Made
 Is Only Partly True.

It may be that some persons will be inclined to doubt the statement made by an eminent authority, at a recent meeting, that with @ mixture of dandelion, kargon and sarsapa
 rilla. he would give prompt relief to any sufferer of rheumatism or the usual forms of backache, caused by inactive, clogged kid neys, vet many cases of long stand
 ing that have been entirely relieved were cited to prove the truth of his assertion. The same authority fur ther stated that many cases which failed to yield to the healing waters of the famous health resorts, or the usual remedies as prescribed, sal icylate of soda, potash, colchicum, etc. = were readily relieved by the use of this simple mixture =

 A well known druggist, when ap- preached upon the subject, stated that while this prescription, as written, is new, the ingredients are continually prescribed by the best physicians, and any good prescrip- tion pharmacy has them; they are inexpensive and harmless to use. and are mixed by shaking well in @ bottle.
 If the claims, made for this mix ture, are only partially correct, it would seem that no sufferer here could afford to leave the prescrip- ton untried.

sailing in the future.
 Members of the city council have be- gun to agitate the question of establish ing a municipal electric lighting plant as the means of saving the city several thousand dollars e cry year. The present contract with the Huntsville Railway, Light and Power company expires with the end of this year and as the council has the bower to make all issue Of bonds for the purpose of establishing a muni- cipal plant. there is some discussion of the question. On the other hand, the power company has recently expended from $SO,0O0 to $40OOO on Improvements and the friends of the corporation maintain that the city would be acting in bad faith should the present contract not be renewed.
 The indications are that another oil and gas company is about to enter the field here. Frank Palmeter of Indiana, representing a large producing concern, has taken options on several hundred acres where oil an1 gas prospects are good and 1t Is said to bo the inten- ton of this company to bore several deep wells. The New york-Alabama com pdny IS making arrangements 10 uO lne same and it appears that the Huntsville district will be given q thorough test by the sinking of several wells to a depth greater than has been sounded lere be- fore.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

II pecan nuts are soaked over night
in water when cracked the kernels
will come out whole.
Sun blinds and shades should be un-
rolled and examined to see if they re-
quire mending or cleaning. The best
way to mend a tear is to coaguline
piece of the same material on at the
back
A garment made of almost any ma
terial may be creamed with tea. Make
the tea strong and soak the garment
will in it. Iron the garment before
it dries and the color will be a pretty
cream. The tea does not streak the
goods as coffee does and is a prettier
color and less expensive than the
,creaming substance that is bought.
After cooky dough has been pre-
pared instead of using a cutter in the

IN THE HON E.

An open fire is certainly a happy
feature in it.
Chairs that can be sat upon are
more necessary essential than some
housewives think.
In the living room there must be
softly shaded light placed low for read
ing and sewing.
Readable books and magazines lying
around loose are one of the important
things.
A carpet that can be walked on by
the family is much better than one
preserved for the sacred feet of stran-
gers.
Stilted suits" of furniture are a
good thing to avoid; also loud papers
and highly colored pictures.
AS to tobacco smoke and dust-welI,
there have been homes with them and
places without them that utterly failed
to be homes.
Cheerfulness and love and mutual
accommodation as to tastes go further
to make a real home than over-zealous
spotlessness and everlasting over
sight.

A Fair Trial and Justice Given
To Jim Lynn.

Special to Colorado Statesman.
The article about this Negro in the
Colorado Times are absolutely against
the interest of the Negro race and not
for the interest as this paper is sup
posed to be- No such articles should
ever be published in Negro paper.
1t bears upon the minds of Negroes
heavily to read such articles in the
white mans paper, and then the head
ing and discourse do not condemn so
unmerciful.
There is enough. OF this race agita-
tion in the South without a Negro
bringing it West. If our people must
be ared-and-feathered, lynched and
burned at the state. let it be done by
the o-her race and in their papers.

GREAT sELLs-FLoTo SHOWS.
Has an Immense Parade.

A distinguishing feature of the Sells
Floto Shows is the monster free open
den street caravan. Who 1oes not like
to see the circus parade? Who would
not view the gaily colored cages come
along when Madame Valicito is seen
| spanking the noce of large lion with
a little whip while cheers greet the act
The "Rube" clown, who gets arrested
for blocking traffic on the streets, with
his mule and cart, was once a great
feature. He is well known now, but
the inventive minds of circus men will
have another novelty to replace him.
Another event of moment in every
small town. and large one, too. for that
matter. is the early arrival of the cir
Gus train. Long before the long train
pulls in on the sidetrack near the de-
pot the crowd is there. There is an
army of Juvenile volunteers, who are
willing to carry water for the elephants
just to get free pasteboard emitting
them to admission to the show later
in the day Men are thereto see that
their boys, who have passed sleepless
night do not get hurt. Even women
find some excuse for going down to the
railroad yards and taking a long look
at the canvas-covered cars. Boys, who
have gathered and sold enough old
iron, rags and bones to get so cents,
enjoy a memorable day and the streets
leading from the farming district to
able kind of vehicle.
Like the others, the farmers come
to bring the children. The feed
dealer who supplies hay, oats and corn
for the horses on contract made with
the advance man, wants several extra
tickets-just for the children. The
same is true of the butcher. who sup
plies the meat for the cook tent.
AS soon as the sun is out there is
hustle and activity every place If the
superintendent of the public school is
wise he will declare holiday. What
boy or girl can think of geography
spelling or arithmetic when there is a
circus in town? In the language of the
German comedian, ''It is to laugh"
The circus does land otIice business.
and as the crowd is pouring into the
circus tent from the menagerie at the
night performance, the army of en-
ployes of the show starts to take down
the canvas which shelters the cages
and the work of loading the outfit onto
the train begins. Thousands of tired
boys and girls retire. after having seen
the show. peaceful and contented. The
following morning the antics of the
clown cause merriment at the break
fast table and some youths who reside
near the circus hurry through their
morning ablutions in order to go over
near the ring and see if any change has
been dropped by the spectators of the
previous night. The great Sells-Floto
Shows will be here Monday and Tues
day. June 22nd and 23rd at Sixth and
| Broadway.

Corn Starch Blanc Mango.

Stir into one quart boiling milk or
fruit juice of any sort (that from
stewed raspberries or cherries being
besD four rounding tablespoonfuls
corn starch dissolved in little of the
cold milk or fruit juice. Stir until
smooth and thickened, sweeten and
flavor to taste, then cook in double
boiler for an hour. Pour into small
molds wet with cold water and set
away to cool. When ready to serve
turn out on individual dishes and
serve cold with cream and sugar.
A pretty addition to the service of
this pudding is to encircle each mold
as turned out on glass or china dish
with a row of strawberries, raspber-
ries, sliced bananas or peaches. This
makes an extremely decorative and
inexpensive dessert.

To Prepare Duck.

To dress a duck so that it will not
be an all day task, as soon as killed
and while it is still warm, pick off the
fine feathers, providing you want to
save them for pillows. Then pour
scalding water over it and wrap it
promptly in a piece of old blanket Or
flannel and allow 1t to steam in this
for fully ten minutes. Unwrap and
pull off the coarse feathers, and with
a coarse cloth "a piece of burlap is
best) rub the small feathers and
down" off it with almost no trouble.

There has been a more disgraceful
crime committed by every race that
ever inhabited this noble state any
length of time and its papers did not
condemn their criminal so severe.
Their punishment was never more
