suBscRIPTIoN.-.s5.oo PER ANNum
AMERICAN PEOPLE SHOULD EXERCISE
COMMON SENSE"

The following, taken from one of
the messages which ex-President
Roosevelt submitted to congress
during the closing days of his adj
ministration, contains some good,
wholesome, sound sense that is
worthy of remembering:
The tasks this nation has to do
are great tasks. They can only be
done at all by our citizens acting to-
gether, and they can be done best of
all by the direct and simple applica:-
ton of homely common sense. The
applications of common sense to
common problems for the common
good, under the guidance of the
principals upon which this republic
was based, and by virtue of which it
exists. spells perpetuity for the
nation, civil and industrial liberty
for its citizens, and freedom of oppor-
tunity in the pursuit Of happiness
for the plain American. for whom
this nation was founded, by whom
it was preserved, and through whom
alone it can be perpetuated. Upon
this platform-larger than any party
differences, higher than class pre-
judice, broader than any question of
profit and loss-there is room for
every American who realizes that
the common good stands first"

PRESIDENT PENNA
OF BRAZIL DEAD
Sudden Passing Of Head o.
South American Republic.

Washington, June 15.-President
Penna of Brazil is dead. The news
was received in dispatch to the state
department from the American am.
bassador at Rio de Janeiro. *
The death of Dr. Penna was evident
" sudden. Other than a dispatch re-
ceived from Rio de Janeiro saying
that he was gravely i'll and that as a
consequence the ministers had been
summoned to the palace, there has
been no intimation that he was in ill
health. The last report of his doings
concerned his message at the opening
of the Brazilian congress May and
his refusal two weeks later to accept
the resignation of the Brazilian min
lister of finance.
DR.. Penna was elected to Office by
universal suffrage in the twenty fed
Grated states in 1900 and assumed Of
flee Nov. Is of that year. His term
would expire in 1910 He was vice
president Of the republic and presi-
dent of the senate at the time Of his
election to the chief II agistracy.

"DR.v TILL "TlLLED" THE PEOPLE.

The Princeton Union says of
Doctor" Till, whose performances
as the healer" have been given
such wide publicity among people of
the northwest that he was being
closely alliedato the Supreme Being:
Till, the Wisconsin quack doctor,
has packed his grip and set sail for
Germany, where he thinks his ser
vices will be more fully appreciated.
The physicians of this country, he
says, have prosecuted him until he
can. stand it no longer. Till is one
of the greatest frauds that ever
pulled the wool over the eyes of
suffering humanity, but humanity,
whether it is suffering or not, loves
to be humbugged, It must be said
in Tilrs favor, however, that he had
mastered the art of amassing riches
without work or solicitation"

PORK ERS SELL FOR
So Per HUNDRED
Highest June Price for Live
Hogs Since 1882.


Chicago, June 15.-The highest June
price for live hogs since 1882 was es-
tablished at the Union Stock Yards.
Best porkers sold at SO per hundred
pounds. With the exception of 1902
this is the highest price recorded for
any month since the Cudahy pork cor
ner in 1898, when live hogs sold at
1915 a hundred weight.
The prevailing high prices are due
to unusually light receipts Of live hogs
this spring at all Western packing
centers, the extremely high price Of
grain last year prompting many farm
ers to dispose OF stock rather than
pay for feed stuff. Receipts of hogs
at the nine leading markets of the
West were 10000 head less than for
the corresponding day last week and
1850 less than the receipts year
ago. AS a result Of the scarcity of
hogs the price of provisions is now
the highest in many years.

found in this quarry is first class in
every particular, the edge as whole
can not be so considered, unless the
surface indications are dece:ving. Tht
upper strata shows a porous forma-
ton, which is not considered first class
road building material and the STATE
would not be justified in locating the
crusher at this point, unless further in
vestiga ton show a better class of rock
than the surface indications. The lower
strata is first class if there was more
of it.
Professor Lands stated that he con-
sidered the basalt formation, the very
best of material to be found in the
state, for road building, but that it
must be as free as possible from blow
holes and the porous formation to
make it first class and a lasting mat
erial on the public roads. The state
would like to find ledge of this char
acter one hundred and fifty or two
hundred feet high and located near or
along the railroad, so that it will be
possible to locate the new machines in
such a way, that it will avoid doable
handling.
The professor will visit the Dayton

turning to this city tomorrow after
noon, and hopes to find the conditions
favorable for the location of the big
crusher in one of these districts.
