1t will prove interesting to dog fam
ciers at time when crusades are being
made against the canine creation in
different cities to know that these ami
mails are believed to be panacea for
that painful malady rheumatism.
Should this be established, dogs will be
held in higher repute than ever. Mrs.
o. S. Nelson, of Central City, Neb.,
was, according to her statement, cured
Of very severe case of rheumstism re-
Gently. She had been so badly affect
ed with this ailment in one of her arms
that she could not sleep nights, and
was greatly distressed. After trying
vatious remedies and applying various
liniments she had about given up hope
of being cured. She had a little dog
which some times slept by her side on
the bed, and she found that the pain
was greatly lessened by resting her
arm against the dogs body. She per-
sisted i'm this, and noticed that the pain
grew constantly less. ENtHtuttiiS tho
| rheumatism left her arm completely
and appeared to go into the body of the
dog, as il became i'll and seemed to
suffer great pain, and Was finally killed
! to relieve it of its misery. According
to the above, instead of using chloro-

ines, in future they can be utilized TO

universal diseases known

DIVIDED ON POLITICS.
WIFELY EDITOR WILL NOT SUPPORT
HER HUSBAND FOR OFFICE.

HER HUSBAND FOR OFFICE.
About the queerest product of the
editorial mind that has yet come to oul
notice, says the New York Times, ap,
pears in the Emporia (Kan.) Times.
The destinies of that paper are con-
trOlled and guided-with ability, ap-
parently-by Mrs. Mary McCrearv
Parl<man, who is described as a life
long and loyal Democrat. Mr.. Park
man, on the other hand, is Republi-
can oiiiceholder, now a candidate for
reelection. The Times is against him,
and therefore its editor or editress or
editrix has been moved to explain the
situation.
Mrs. Parkman, using the conven-
tional tive" assures the public that in
some ways Mr. Parkman is about as
satisfactory us a mere man can be. He
and she, it seems, "agree on literature,
religion, art, the nebular hypothesis,
the proper method of poking the fire,
the value of breakfast food as brain
builder, paving, municipal ownership
and the facts in the Guinness case" Cn
politics they are far apart, and Mr..
Parkman is solemnly notified that as a
Republican he has no claim on Mrs.
Parkman as "a mOlder of public opin-
ION, fellow citizen or as wife, !"
which is a little hard to follow or un-
derstand. Then comes this gem of elO-
quence:
We will cook for husband, we will
mend our husbands clothing, we will
darn and brush him up-as our hus-
band-but as an officeholder of vile,
venal and corrupt organization, an
emissary of Wall street, and as an op-
pressor of the poor our husband has
only our unspeakable contempt. He
should thank his lucky stars that we
do keep his name out of the Times. We
know enough of our husband, should
he attempt to press this matter too far,
to make his vote in this election little
more than scratching.
For Mr.. Parlman has been on the
Times blacklist, and his name has
never appeared in it. Apparently he
or his friends have complained of this
and made threats. They would do
well to be carefnl, for as the article
from which these quotations are taken
says:
This newspaper is free and unframed
organ of special privileges to none and
equal rights to all, and if our husband
thinks he belongs to the privileged
classes he is mighty badly fooled. We
think good bit of our husband first
and last and in one way and another,
but we will permit no foolishness from
this Republican county surveyor. He
is bad lot, and we withhold certain
matters in this affair on account of the
respectability of the parties concerned.

Al ADseaaEIlT IDEA.

The recent miscegenation and
social equality meeting held in
Brooklyn. in which white women
and negro men met at dining
and openly advocated the inter
marriage Of the races as the solu-
tioa of the negro problem. has
startled and Mortified the country
to an extent such as has never
prevailed in connection with the
race problem. The sentiments
expressed and applauoed were
violative of every idea Of decency,
self-respec; and social standing,
well calculated to shock and
startle the whole country and
particularly the pure strain of
Caucasian blood.
Despite Representative Burle-
son of Texas. proelaiming his dis
belief in its occurrence snd declar-
ing it unbelievable. abhorren,
and inconceivable." there is no
doubt of its reality.
Negrophile fanaticism could 60
to no greater lengths in the advo-
cacy of social equality than this
disgusting announcement of mis-
cegenation as the solution of race
antipathies. 1t is the very quint-
essence of folly run mad. 1t is
the heigh,h of the blind spirit of
degeneracy appealing to the
srovelling propensities of human
degradation. The New York
Times. in discussing this almost
unthinkable proposition SO brazen-
ly aud openly proposed and APP
plauded. forcibly says of it:
in the first place, speakers at
this banquet discussed what is
expressly prohibited by the mar
riage laws of twenty-seyen States
and Territories of this Union.
That is. perhaps. the least of the
reasons why public censure should
be visited upon this exhibition of
Socialism in its nakedness. The
opinions of people may change
and then they may change THEN
laws. This law strikes its roots
deeper than the statute book. The
establishment at a race equality"
and the intermarriage of whites
with blacks are forbidden by an
instructive, prevailing and uncon-
querable resolve and condition of
mind. Prejudice is not the name
for it. since the thing is not a mat
ter to be judged. but a matter as
to which belief and conviction are
innate. That belief and conviction
are so nearly universal as to be
quite beyond the possibility of
change; their universality and
heir depth are SO attested by the
facts of human experience that to
all them in question is every
where felt to be public affront."
