Much Uneasiness Felt.

The complete absence of any infor-
nation of the progress of the party
from the time it left Vera Cruz added
to the uneasiness which was height
ened by vague rumors of attacks on
Mr. Lind and his family and associ-
ates.
Secretary Bryan remained at his
desk until 1870 a. m. awaiting a re-
port from the embassy at Mexico City.
When it finally came it proved to be
merely a terse announcement of the
arrival of the special envoy, coupled
with the announcement that he and
his party were safely quartered at
the Hotel Lascurain.
With the arrival in Mexico City Of
Mr.. Lind, administration officials de-
clared that no further steps would be
taken in carrying out the policy of
the United States toward Mexico I'M
til Mr.. Lind had made careful study
of the general situation there.

Distinct Course of Action.

W. nile the president n2Q mapped
out a distinct course of action about
which strict secrecy is being main
tanned, it is known that the instruc-
lions to be sent Mr.. Lind from time
to time will depend largely on de-
velOpments in the Mexican capital in
the next few weeks.
Mr.. Lind will make all his recon-
mendations to Charge O'Shaughnessy
SO that whatever representations are
transmitted by the latter to the
Huerta government will differ in no
way from the notes the American gov
eminent has hitherto addressed to the
defacto authorities In the Mexican
capital. Mr.. Lind's connection with
them, it was stated, would not be
apparent.
1t was stated authoratively that
the American government had no in
tention Of formally calling on Presi-
dent Huerta to resign his Office and
that any representations made would
be to call the attention to earlier
promises for a free and constitutional
election, pointing out that recognition
by the United States must be with
held until such elections take place.
Secretary Daniels announced last
night that the cruiser Tacoma had
been ordered from Newport, r. l., to
the east coast of Mexico to take
aboard American citizens desiring to
leave the southern republic Many
Americans have found refuge on
board the battleships of Rear Admiral
Fletcher's squadron but as the bat
tleships can go into only few Of

ShOrt.SIghted Policy.

J. 7. Woodruff delivered strong
address the other day at Cassville in
which he discussed farming in an ablt
manner. Being reared on farm, Mr..
Woodruff Is in a position to speak with
some authority. He reiterated his well
known views in regard to the anti-cor-

much harm in recent years. One

A Lesson from Europe.

After journey over Germany ex'
Gov. Stubbs Of Kansas writes home:
Germany has solved the question Of
transportation cost. I am convinced
that il the United States will develop
its internal waterways system, even 10
a small extent, the complaint OF high
freight will no longer be heard. 1t is
marvellous how Germany has connected
her cities and rivers with network OF
canals. A New York to Chic G, canal
would pay for itself in five years. A
deepened Mississippi would be OF still
greater advantage. Gov. Stubbs refers
to improved channels and canals with
a permanent depth sufficient to ac-
commodate traffic on large scale.
Such waterways have been provided
throughout Germany and France and
are under way all the time. Ship water
ways are built there and rivers are
deepened and canalized. The cost
has been hundreds OF millions, but the
resulting transportation facilities are uni
versally admitted to be worth more.
In a short time vessels will pass
through the Panama Canal, and most ol
the working force Of $4,000 will find
their gigantic task finished. The
achievement on the isthmus in less
than ten years is one Of the grandest
in history. Money to the extent ol
$375, 100000 has been most willingly
furnished by the people Of the United
States. But why are they so slow to
build ship canals and to improve rivers
cn their territory at homer The
deepened Rhine, much smaller than
some Of the tributaries Of the Mis-
sissippi, carries an immense commerce,
and has ceased to be embarrassed by
low water. It's improvement has been
pushed to the headwaters, and is for all
time. In proportion to population,
Canada has far surpassed this country
in waterway enterprise. Every OBJ
servant visitor to Europe sees what
Gov. Stubbs notes as great foreign
advantage. There it is a fact, com
prehensive success. Here it is sup
position consigned to delay if not in
difference. Globe Democrat.

It Is hardly necessary to tell the
summer girl to add fruits to her
beauty diet. There is a whole medi'
cine chest of tonics to be found among
the fruits, and these are natures
remedies which leaves no i'll effects,
Perhaps among the tonic fruits, ap-
pies, prunes and pineapples are most
conspicuous. OF apples little need be
said other than that the axiom OF our
childhood days, gold in the morning
silver at noon and lead at night" has
been abandoned. For the normal per-
son apples are golden whether eaten
at night or noon. AS both food and
physic," prunes are eminent,
There Is no simpler, pleasanter laXa'
tive than a handful OF prunes. Soak
them in a glass Of water overnight
and take them the first thing In the
morning, drinking the fruit juice and
masticating the prunes thoroughly be-
fore swallowing, II this simple regi.

and also tone up the nerves.
The remedial powers OF the pineap-
pie are truly remarkable, II your

so the girl whose blotcby skin Is due

The Concrete SilO.

1t has been made part OF the duty
OF the Dairy Department Of the Mis-
souri, College Of Agriculture to assist
the farmers Of this state in constructing
silos. The College has no interest in
any particular kind Of silo but tries to
give unprejudiced information concern
ing all kinds that are adapted TO the
state. The College is interestedo My
in having a large number Of good silos
built regardless OF what kind they may
be.
Since there are no dealers in concrete
silos OF agents distributing information
in regard 10 them the farmers Of the
state have to rely largely upon the
College Of Agriculture for information
about building this type OF silo. The
assistance offered by the College is in
the nature Of supplying plans for forms,
giving estimates for materials, and, il
possible, sending a man to assist in
starting the construction Of TIE silo.
The Department CT Dairy HuShaubry
has been led to give special attention
to supplying information concerning
the concrete silo on account Of the mis-
representations this type Of silo has
received at the hands OF agants ioT
other kinds.
Every silo which has been built
according to the plans supplied by
this department has been successful.
CONTRARY to reports circulated BY certain
silo agents not a single concrete silc
built under College supervision ha:
cracked. Among dozens Of concrete
silos that have been bull. in this state
only four have cracked and this rsuteC
from insufficient reinforcement. Thest
silos we're repaied by putting hoops OF
the outside and filling the cracks will
concrete and are used to-day with sue
ess. II concrete silo is properly re
inforced there is absolutely no DANCE
of its cracking.
The farmers are also informed iha
silage will not keep in concrete silo
which statement has no foundation
Reports from over forty farmers usinl

their silage keeps perfectly. On

Where They Fall.

There are many who theoretically
admit that the life is more than
meat but who fail practically and
broadly TO make the application in
social life These are they who sac
riiice others in mill. or shop. or kltch-
en-, In order that they themselves may
make bigger profits, escape the bur
dens Of care, or dine with an epi.
curean luxury. II has been truly said
that a civilization which loses life
in providing the means TO live is not
highly moral" and that a society
which can afford luxuries for somo
cannot easily justify unhealthful con-
ditions Of production, or lack Of gen.
eral education" Neither for society
nor for the individual can wealth,
property, ease or enjoyment be con.
sidered as ultimates. These things at
best are not what we live for, but
what we live wlth.--Zion's Herald.

Fair Party Representation.

Within the Republican party OF to-
day there is the reasonable, sensible
demand for fair representation in
National party conventions. 1t is
maniiestly unfair for few Republic
ans, white and black, in Southern
Democratic State, to be given the
same representation as a great host oI
Republicans in a Republican State
No plausible argument can be offered
for such a system Of party represen
tation. The National Committee vii
have to remove this insurmountablt
obstacle to party harmony and unity
or call a National Republican con
vention at an early date to remove it
