SCOTT and ALLEN
These Orators Hold Debate at
Yates Center.
Scott Says Republican Is Only
Conservative Party.

Yates Center, Kan, June ga de-
bate here between former Congress
man Charles F. Scott of lola, and
Henry ]. Allen, an editor of Wichita
in which the relative merits of the
Republican and Progressive parties
were discussed. drew a large crowd
which showered plenty of applause
upon both speakers.
Mr.. Scott declared that the Repubn-
can party was the conservative party
and is bound to survive, he said. be-
cause of the sOundness OF It's prlncl-
pies. In speaking of the ProgresslVes
that had left the party and the mar
mony movement to get them back
into the Republican organization, he
said:
IT never have had any use for the
rabbit as a political party emblem
81 have great respect for Mr. Allen
and men Ii 1e him who have changed
their party affiliations because they
changed thier views. But L nave no
use for a man who deserts ms party
because it has suffered defeat
I'VE were defeated because a very
large number of men who had oeen
voting the Republican ticket left the
party. There are those who believe
that the way to win them back is to
keep still. Those who hold this theory
are like the ostrich that hides It's heao
In the sand and believes it is safe.
'sThe way to win them back is to
talk it over with them When the
Populists carried Kansas we talked it
opt. We did not keep still, nor did we
attempt to steal their platform. I am
determined, so far as am concerned,
that my voice will be heard in behal1
of Republicanism, pure and simple.
Both the Democratic party and the
Progressive party are radical parties"
said Mr.. Scott. There is only one
conservative party left. Is it con-
ceivable that the conservatives will be
without a party? The idea is prepos-
ferrous. Either the Democratic party
or the Progressive party will pass out
of existence. I believe it will be the
Progressive.
Mr.. Allen, as a Progressive, present
ed his side of the argument Mr:
Scott and 1 are agreed on one thing,
Mr. Allen said, land that is that the
Republican party is conservative.
Therefore. there is no room for a Pro-
Rressive in it. The talk about pro-
gressive Republican sounds as absurd
to me as 1t sounds to Mr.. Scott We
are both agreed that there 'ain't no
such animal
Theodore Roosevelt introduced in the
United States government what is
known as the progressive policies,
Some of these policies. Mr.. Scott voted
for. Some of them, I think, he voted
for even willingly.
when Roosevelt left the White
House, the country was SO well pleased
that the Republican party had the
biggest majority ever given a candi-
date 1t had more governors OF
states, more legislatures, more United
States senators and a bigger majority
IN congress.
NO Republican orator was stand
ing on platforms then" said Mr.. AL
len, "boasting that the Republican
party was a conservative"

Eew York Stock Market.

Wall ST., New York, June 2S.-STOCKS-
Prices barely moved at the opening of the
market today. There was little business
on hand and fluctuations of such stocks
as were traded in were confined to trivial
denial of reports Of receivership.
The indecision of the opening was sue
ceeded by a slow advance which raised
the list slightly over yesterdays close
Not much in the way of a movement was
looked for owing to the lack of Initiative
any source.
The market closed firm.
News from Washington that the presf-
dent was assisting in preparation for the
Hartman dissolution plan and that the
plan probably would be presented in court
on Monday stimulated stocks strongly in
the last hour of trading Union Pacific
rose AZ points on active buying. The list
as a whole felt the effect of the upturn
and gains of l to points were general
among the leading stocks.
In the final trading the market reacted
somewhat on realizing sales. Prior to the
,1pt11rn trading was dull and flat Spec
11lattye condition were unchanged and
traders displayed little interest in the
market.

ician shekel was 224 IL grains. The
colored visitor wanted so cents worth
put up in the best way possible, and
he displayed samples that were not at
all satisfactory, as they were nothing
more nor less than an alcoholic solu-
ton of the products, tincture myrrh,
oils, alcohol, &C.
After searching the various Biblical
concordances, dictionaries, &C.. at the
library-which is near the store-Mr.
Brunke found the necessary informa-
ton and also method of preparation.
Having very little time for extensive
work, he decided the best way posi-
bic was to take the requisite amount
of drugs in proportion, and oil to
make up the deficiency, boil with the
olive oil, and then filter while hot. The
unique prescription was thus filled and
was awaiting the clerical visitor on
his return.

CUSTER'S LAST FIGHT
Battle of Little Big Horn Witnessed
Annihiliation of General and Men

(The Rev. T. B. Gregorn, in the n Y
American.
1t was 81 years ago-June %, 1876
that Custer and his men were annihil-
lated at the battle of the Little Big
Horn.
In June 1866, a conference was held
at Fort Laramie for the purpose of
getting the Indian chiefs to cede a
wagon route to Montana, the route was
refused, and upon the Americans ex-
pressing their determination to estab-
lish the road the Indians at once began
war. Fettermans command of 81 offic-
ers and men were massacred, and
thus began the hostilities which lasted
for twelve years.
In 1876 the red men refused to go
upon the reservation assigned them By
treaty, and force of regular troops
were sent against them. Custer led
the advance with the Seventh cavalry
some 700 strong. On June % his
scouts discovered the Sioux encamp
ment and Custer, with his accusIon-
ed impetuosity, determined to attack
them at once Without waiting for lie
support of Gen. Terry, who was nov
men from the rear, Custed de,t"hed
| Col. Reno with the larger part of his
force to assail the rear of the en3an.r-
lment, while he, with some 275 mch,
dashed straight for the Indian center
1t was like rushing into the mouth of
hell" The Indians, outnumbering him
ten to one, closed about him in con-
stantly narrowing circle, and the re-
suit was just what might have been ex-
pected. Custer, his two brothers, his
nephew, and every one of his men
were killed. Encircled by the ring of
| fire, the Americans fought as Ameri-
cans always fight when the occasion
calls for it, and many a redskin bit
| the dust. 1t was the Alamo over
again-American valor and courage
maintaining themselves to the last
ditch and the last man against over
whelming odds.
1t was unnecessary that massacre of
the Little Big Horn; the situation that
made it possible. was the result OF
rashness and foolish haste; but all the
same we honor Custer and his men for
the unconquerable bravery which made
the name of the Little Big Horn i'm
mortal in our country's annals.

FILLED MOSAIC PRESCRIPTION
Negro Evangelist Gives Cincinnati
Druggist on Order From Exodus
xxx.

(From the Pharmaceutical Era)
A colored man walked into the store
Of the Wetherhead Pharmacy Company
and told the clerk he wished a par
ticular prescription filled. The clerk
held out his hand, and from beneath
his arm the customer extended small
Bible and pointed to a paragraph.
The druggist, Herman Brunke, was
puzzled, but he read the passage, which
was as follows:
Exodus, xxx: 1924: Take thou al
so unto thee principal spices, of pure
sweet myrrh. 500 shekels, and of sweet
cinnamon half so much. even $50
shekels, and Of sweet calamus $50
shekels. And Of cassia 500 shekels
after the shekel Of the sanctuary, and
of olive oil him"
Mr. Brunke went to work on the
