new lighthouse tender on trips. The
launch has been completed at Fond
du Lac, Wis, and is with the Lily on
this trip. This launch is the most
wonderful boat of the kind that has
ever been seen in local water. 1t is
35 feet long, has a six-foot beam,
engine, makes 16 miles an hour, is
very strongly built, and cost the eye
opening sum OF $3,100.
Lowest OF History.
Captain w. G. Eagon of the q. s.
Lily is master of the old school and
has seen long years of experience on
the upper river. He explains that
he has never before seen the Mississ-
ippi so low at this time of the year.
Just above here there are only
four feet of water" he said, "and
that is just the amount that the Lily
draws. Twice on the trip down we
rain to do any good. At st. Paul
rain fell but the streets were so dry
that they soaked it up, In saying
this 1 do not mean that the govern
ment work in the river does not i'm
prove the channel, but that the wa
ter is just naturally low
The captain telegraphed ahead for
coal to be delivered at the Rock Is
land river front. When the Lily ar
rived at the Island City he found that
one carload had been secured and
that ne was fortunate to secure even
so inadequate an amount. The
-
that carload materialized serves to
illustrate the effect of the coal strike
in Illinois.

Placing New Buoys.
For the first time in the history of
channel marking on the upper river,
a new kind of lighted buoy is being
placed in general use. 1t is of the
non-sinkable sort and is not disar-
ranged by log RATS and other OBJ
structions which are likely to bear
down on it. The center of the buoy
is barrel of small size, on either
end of which hollow metal cones are
placed. In some cases lights are
placed on these buoys. while in 9TH
known as spar buoys.
Sometime during the coming sum-
mer excursionists who take the
trouble to watch for these buoys will
notice that the pilot guides the boat
religiously between a row of red
buoys on one side and row of black
and white ones on the other.
The upper deck of the Lily still
contains a large number of these
buoys. which will be placed between
Keokuk and st. Louis on the second
trip up river.

What will be probably the greatest
Fourth of July celebration ever held in
Union City is now in course of material
ization. The most extensive event of
the kind ever held here was few years
ago when the Confederate veterans of
the State met with us. The largest
crowd ever seen in Union City was here
on that occasion. II was estimated at
5000, and the figures were not greatly
out of proportion. Last year we
made failure, and the business men
have gone to work in earnest to redeem
themselves. The fund for the Fourth
will be about 81, 200. as much as was
ever donated for this purpose, and alto
gether as large fund as that collected
when the old soldiers were here. Con-
tracts have been made with one of the

pressing him for the editorship, he was
the first to arise and speak for Hudgins

Hudgins at Dallas. No Cumberland
Presbyterian who attended the Dallas
Assembly will forget Hudgins' great
speech on that historic occasion, a
speech of an hour, in which his power
full voice filled the large assembly hall
so that every member of that vast audi
ence heard him distinctly. Not only
was he great in delivery but powerful in
logic, and unionists trembled as they
heard his words. All too soon for our
cause the close of the hour allotted him
was called 1t was said by many that
if he could have had one more hour the
unionists would have been totally rout-
ed.
His Record from the Beginning. His
forceful uttorances condemning the
union scheme were among the first to
appear. One OF his articles was taken
up by the Associated Press and was
published throughout the North, South
and West and it did much to cause the
depressed to lift up their hearts. From
the tragic beginning of the union mer
ger throughout its history he has proven
himself ideally loyal, and in efficiency
one of the most useful men in the
church. He holds one of the first
places in the hearts of the people. We
welcome him to the editorial
chair of our church organ, The Cum

by him for aggressive work. -Cumber-

Stomach Dead-Man Still Lives.

People who suffer from sour stomach,
fermentation of food, distress after eat
ing and indigestion, and seek relief in
large chunks of artificial digesters, are
killing their stomachs by inaction just
as surely as the victim of morphine is
deadening and iniuring beyond repair
every nerve in his body.
What the stomach of every sufferer
from Indigestion needs is good pre-
scription that will build up his stomach,
put strength, energy and elasticity into
it, and make it sturdy enough to digest
a hearty meal without artificial aid.
The best prescription for indigestion
ever written is sold by druggists every
where and by the Red Cross Drug Stores
and is rigidly guaranteed to build up
the stomach and cure Indigestion or
money back.
This prescription is named Mi-o-na,
and is sold in small tablet form in large
boxes for only so cents. Remember
the name, Mi-o-na stomach tablets

We viii not try to defend the univer-
sites of the South. The superintend-
ent knows more about that than we
do. There may be some Fresh
water universities" in the Southland.
The Southern schools had little oppor-
tunity to keep pace with Northern in
situations of learning on account of
misfortunes Of the Civil var. There
are, however, some universities in the
South which have contributed to sci
ence and letters-they have sons in the
halls of fame. One OF these is the
University Of Virginia The soil of
Presidents, statesmen and poets was in
Virginia, and in that school they were
trained. Some Of the South IS legal
minds were developed in Cumberland
University. The talent from this in
stitution leads many of the greatest
legal battles. Tulane in New Orleans
has given to medical science some. of
its noted men. The South may have
its Fresh-water universities, but they
are not, if we are allowed to venture an
opinion, the rule. Doubtless there
may be some such institutions in the
North, but it would be very ill-timed to
speak OF Northern universities in that
light. Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Dart
mouth and other famous universities
are in the North, and every American
is proud of them. But there are
strong men in the Southern schools.
There are men in the South who
acknowledge no greater ambition than
theirs to train the intellect and develop
its power These men are not Fresh

Be Careful.

The Legislative primary takes place
tomorrow and the nearer the time the
greater becomes the confusion brought
about by unfounded and unauthentic
reports flying like wildfire all over the
county Men who have deep-rooted
convictions and settled minds upon the
honor and integrity Of men and meas
ures and the political disgrace and de-
bauchment of men in high places have
been carried off their feet by ill-founded
reports scattered by political outcasts
who are securing the very earth to turn
public sentiment awry. There are men
in communities who would sell their
souls for the sensation of conquest
anything to win. Other men have a
price measured in dollars alone They
have an insatiate appetite for the love
of polluted money as strong or stronger
than the drunkard's thirst. 1t is abso-
lutely astounding to what extremes they
will go to win their goal. Such men
and such treachery are now rampant in
Obion County. Men are influenced by
false leaders and ruled by passion.
They are actually being deceived into
the support of their arch enemies. They
do not know what they do Gentle
men, be careful. Do not trust the man
who wants to be your political guardian.
Be your judge. Examine your con-
science and the man who comes to you
and processes political virtue. Give him
a wide berth. Get the facts and vote
intelligently. Above all come to the
polls and vote in the Legislative pri-

is no chance to count against you in this

Our Girls.

Superintendent Nute's address last
Thursday night in connection with the
High School commencement was, to
some extent, remarkable He spoke of
the young men of the graduating class
and their achievements. He enlarged
upon the theme, referring to their stu
dious habits, their manly qualities
their mental development. He painted
a roseate future and prophesied great
things for the boys, but yet not word
for the young ladies. Their addresses
were good, their averages high. In the
class the young ladies were in the ma
jority. No one could say shat they were
not good looking, no one would dare to
challenge their intelligence nor their
right to the field OF rivalry. 1t was
not absolutely necessary to speak of
the girls. Their scholarship is sufficient.
But the young men were extolled in
very complimentary way, deservedly
too. They are worthy of all the kind
words spoken OF them, but why no
compliment for the girls This is the
woman's age. They are coming to the
front in every walk of life. But if all
this were not fact, why not something
nice to say of the girls2 The man
may achieve fame and honor he may
lead the political hosts he may con-
quer worlds on the field of battle he
may reform the world. But without
our mothers there would be no hearth
stone, there would be no conquerors.
Without the power behind the throne
the throne would totter Without women
OF intelligence and culture there would
be no trained warriors, there would be |
no Patrick Henrys, there would be no
heroes. No greater truth than the |
woman who rocks the cradle rules the
world. No more salient or incontesti- |
BILE proof of womans worth than the
fact that man owes his greatness to the
nurture, training and blessings OF his
mother The mothers talents, the
mothers intelligence, are inherited by
the child The mother is, above all, the
child's best teacher Greater the
womans mental training and disci-
pline, greater her sphere of knowl-
edge; greater by far the child's ten
denotes and opportunities for distinc-
ton.
We are not inclined to believe that
Prof Mute intentionally overlooked the
girls. We are simply trying to supply !
the omission. Everybody knows that
the Superintendent is directing the for
tunes OF one of the States best schools.
Everybody knows that the school has
attained distinction under his manage
