h. Miller, Editor OF ne NEWS;
Meade, Kans.,
Dear Friend: A copy of The
News which | received today~direct-
ed my thoughts homeward and con-
cluded TO give you little surprise
in the form of a short letter. AS
you are probably aware am here
in search Of health or the means
whereby to regain it and have been
very successful and think Twill soon
be able to make the report entirely
successful. Kansas City does not
have the pure heathful atmosphere
for which western Kansas is so dis
tinguished, but for things to eat and
drink she is unsurpassed outside of
Missouri. To furnish refreshments
for their fellowmen seems to be the
chief business and the stomach about
all of man worth considering. His
lungs and liver are entirely neglected,
and his heart allowed to become
hard and stony. His mind is gener-
ally light, trivial and tickle. His
morals dull coarse and blunted afro
phied or absent. The meat market
and the grocer does business seven
days in the week and the churches
one or two hours and in the same
ratio people are inclined to appraise
their respective products and the
part to which each administers.
Mans chief end does not seem to
be so much to Glorify God as to
crafty the stomach, for this reason
or because of this disposition a city
like this is an interesting place to
visit, but a very unsatisfactory place
TO 1--we. People DON'T learn TO place
a proper value upon themselves,
their individuality is hidden in the
general flood and their independence
weakened by the nature and spirit
of their surroundings. suppose ]

are each improving and will no doubt
be permanently cured. l went to

In his "Glimpses of the Confederate
Army" In the American Review of Re
views Randolph Fl. McKim writes
ut seems 10 me as look back that
one of the things which sApod out
strongly in the Confederate army was
the independence and the initiative OF
the individual soldier. 1t would have
been better army In the field II 1t had
been welded together by stricter dis
cipline. but this defect was largely
atoned for by the strong individuality
Of the units in the column. 1t was not
easy to demoralize body composed Of
men who thought and acted in a spirit
Of independence IN battle.
"As an illustration OF the spirit Of
the private soldier / recall an incident
to this effect. Major General Gordon
had organized a strong column TO make
night attack on Grants lines at Pc
tersburg. When he was ready TO move
and the order to advance was given q
Big Texan stepped out Of the ranks
and said:
General Gordon. this column can't
move before a. N. The men have a
truce with the Yanks. and it amt up

''The column did not move tin that
hour. The private in the ranks had

Representative Moss OF Indiana, in
brief speech, declared himself in
favor of the present free list bill, and
convinced Of the merit Of the Canadian

Representative Longworth of Ohio, a
Republican member OF the ways and

speech Of the day from the opposition
side.
He declared the bin was vague and
so loosely drawn that even the Demo.

what industries il would affect if it be-

that Chairman Underwood of the ways

THE TRIAL RESUMED.
Maria Stendardo Testifes in Case of
Camorrists.

yiterbo, Italy, May 2 The trial Of
the Camorrists for the murder of Cen
naro Cuoccolo and his wife was re-
sumed yesterday after an interruption
of week, owing to the illness of a
juror.
Maria Stendardo, the only woman
among the prisoners, was called for
cross examination She frankly adj
mitted that her early career was not
above reproaeh and that her home had
been the resort of evil persons, but
denied that she had guilty knowledge
of the Cuoecolo murders.
Many documents were read yester-
day, including one showing payments
received by Genuaro Abbatemaggio, the
informer, since his arrest. The latter
was intended by the defense to show
that the sums of money received by
him increased suspiciously after he had
denounced his fellow prisoners.

How to Stop Drinking

1t was formerly customary for the
habitual drinker to take the pledge regu.
larry. sometimes once year, and some.
times in every fit of remorse that follows
his debauches, and then break it.
But now it is gradually dawning or
the world that pledges do not STOP
drunkenness. The nervous system of the
habitual drinker is diseased, and he must
have treatment that will cure this condi.
tion. If Orrine does not benefit after q
trial, we refund your money. Can BE-

the road it is proposed to establish an,

Each OF these farms or stations will be in
charge of trained scientific farmers, and
in the language of the founder, they will
be expected to "show the farmers of Della.
ware and those of any state how two
blades of grass may be made to grow
where only one grew before" In other
words, these experiment farms will aim
to demonstrate in convincing way the
