EIGHTH DISTRICT IN DEADLOCK Thirty-six Ballots Without a Choice—Nutt Leading—Adjourned to Meet at Oxnard The Eighth Congressional District convention, in session last week at Sacramento, went into deadlock on the nominee for congress, and after taking 36 ineffectual ballots adjourned to meet at Oxnard Sept. 11. On the last ballot the vote stood: Nutt, 42; Daniels, 31; Smith, 21; Booth, 8. It requires 53 votes to nominate. Four candidates were placed in nomination, A. E. Nutt of San Diego, M. J. Daniels of Riverside, S. C. Smith of Kern, and H. C. Booth of Santa Barbara. Fifteen ineffectual ballots were cast the first day. W. M. Peck of Riverside called the convention to order. J. D. Wilder of Tustin was appointed temporary secretary and F. W. Gregg of San Bernardino temporary chairman. Upon motion the chairman appointed a committee on credentials. He chose one from each county represented in the convention, and instructed the committee to report after the first meeting of the State convention's committee on credentials. This committee consisted of H. P. Wood of San Diego, George Trepanier of Kern, D. W. Mott of Ventura, J. J. Cairns of Tulare, Mark Waterson of Inyo, W. B. Williams of Orange, James Hutchins of San Bernardino, C. O. Barker of Riverside, W. L. Talbot of Santa Barbara, and S. D. Ballon of San Luis Obispo. At the second session of the convention the committee on credentials presented its report, which was accepted. Upon motion the temporary officers were made the permanent officers of the convention. Upon motion it was agreed that the votes should not be changed during balloting, and that fifty-three votes were necessary to secure a nomination. Chairman Gregg then instructed the secretary to call the roll of counties in order to receive the various nominations. H. A. Blodgett of Kern county placed Senator Smith's name before the convention. He told of the Senator's services to the state and of his character as a citizen. W. L. Talbot of Santa Barbara followed and placed H. C. Booth of his county in nomination. Cant M. J. Daniels was placed Waterfalls Put in Harness Continued from First page at Julian, in San Diego county, will soon be worked and lighted by electricity. All that is now done by steam or compressed air in the mines may then be accomplished by electric power. John W. Baker, a mine owner of Sacramento, said recently: "The use of electric power in mining will begin a new era in the industry. The expenses of mining will be cut down so much that poor mines may be worked at a profit, and, besides, the ore can be got out with less work. No one can yet estimate the changes in gold and silver mining that will follow the introduction of electricity in the industry." Engineers and workmen are engaged in harnessing mountain streams at five points in Oregon and three in Washington. The vast power in the Columbia river is to be used four times by electric companies in Portland, Astoria and Albany. A company, in which the paid-up capital stock is to be $1,500,000, is organizing to utilize the power in five streams along the Sierras, near Stockton, for uses in San Francisco. For several months a corps of engineers has been making plans for the development of electric power from the Kaweah river in Tulare county. The engineers' estimate puts the total expense of the work at $800,-000. About 7000-horse power can be obtained, and this may be utilized in Tulare, Pocterville and other San Joaquin valley towns. Up at Redding, in Northern California, under the shadows of Mount Shasta, work on the greatest electrical-power plant in America, outside of Niagara, is proceeding. New York, San Francisco and Buffalo capital is back of the enterprise, which will cost several millions of dollars. The only element of doubt in the scheme is the distance that the voltage may be economically transmitted, for the little towns in the part of the state where the electricity is developed cannot use all the motive power this enterprise proposes to develop. The project to harness the waters of the stream in Maricopa canyon, among the Sierras back of Petaluma, is going ahead. Engineers are at work ascertaining what power may be developed. Topographic Mapping of Southern California Important work in sections of Southern California is now being carried on by the United States Geological Survey, under the general supervision of Richard U. Goode, geographer. Two parties have been in the field since the season commenced. One of these, under W. T. Turner, with S. N. Stoner as principal assistant, is continuing the work which has been going on for several years in the Mount Pinos and Zaca Lake and Santa Ynez forest reserves. The other party, under J. E. Rookhold, with E. R. Childs as principal assistant, is completing the work begun during the last field season in the vicinity of San Diego, thus finishing the mapping of practically all of the thickly settled portion of Southern California. Precise spirit leveling will be continued by a party under C. H. Semper. This party will first complete a gap in the line which was begun during the last field season at a tidal connection at Benicia and carried through the San Joaquin valley and across the Tehachapi mountains, so as to make a junction with spirit levels previously run in Southern California. After this work is completed the party will go north to the vicinity of Sacramento and commence another precise line which will have its ultimate termination at Portland, Oregon. In connection with this line, iron bench-mark posts will be established along the line of the Southern Pacific railroad at intervals of about 3 miles, on which will be stamped the elevation to the nearest foot above sea level. In the fall, after it becomes too late to work in the northern states or the high Sierra, two large parties will commence work along the Colorado river, one outfitting at Yuma and the other at Needles. This work is undertaken with a view of determining the practicability of utilizing the waters of the Colorado river, which at present flow into the ocean, for the purpose of irrigating the vast tracts of desert lands in California and Arizona adjacent to the river.Later in the season certain preliminary work looking eventually to the topographic mapping and geologic investigation of the Coalinga, Bakersfield and McKittrick oil fields is contemplated. Bad Fruit Outlook Upon motion it was agreed that the votes should not be changed during balloting, and that fifty-three votes were necessary to secure a nomination. Chairman Gregg then instructed the secretary to call the roll of counties in order to receive the various nominations. H. A. Blodgett of Kern county placed Senator Smith's name before the convention. He told of the Senator's services to the state and of his character as a citizen. W. L. Talbot of Santa Barbara followed and placed H. C. Booth of his county in nomination. Capt. M. J. Daniels was placed in nomination by W. M. Peck of Riverside. Ernest White of San Diego nominated Senator A. E. Nutt. As each candidate was named the delegates who favored them applauded enthusiastically. C. C. Chapman of Placentia seconded Daniels, and Smith was seconded by Orrin M. John of San Luis Obispo and E. O. Larkin of the same county. Balloting was proceeded with and the votes were cast in the following order: Counties: Smith, Booth, Daniels, Nutty, Inyo, Tulare, San Luis obispo, Kern, San Bernardino, Ventura, Orange, Santa Barbara, Riverside, San Diego When the vote was counted it developed that Smith had received 27 Booth 10, Daniels 34, Nutt 33. Another ballot was taken with the same result. Three more ballots were taken and there was no change. An adjournment was then taken until after the adjournment of the state convention. Upon reconvening balloting was summed. After a number of rolls been called without changing the vote, E. O. Larkin of Tulare suggested that the four candidates be brought before the convention in order that the delegates might learn whom they were voting for. The suggestion assumed the form of a motion, and the candidates were invited to address the convention. Senator Smith was the first to be called upon. He told what he would do for the Eighth district if he were nominated and elected to congress. He said he would look after the district's interests and see that harbors were improved, water was conserved and proper irrigation was given the southern part of the state. He promised public buildings for every town, and if one was not sufficient to appease his constituents he would use his efforts to obtain two Senator Smith's speech was a happy one and created a good impression among the delegates. Smith was followed by Booth of Santa Barbara. The latter reiterated what Smith had said, and added that if the Eighth district sent a man to Congress he should be returned when his term expired, as in that way he would be of greater service to his section of the district. Captain Daniels was given a hearty greeting when introduced by the chairman. The captain called attention to his service in the war of the Rebellion. He said he loved the Republican party and had voted for Lincoln and was ever Help the Local Paper When the editor or the representative of a local paper calls upon one of his home merchants for an advertisement, he is often answered somewhat in this manner: "I can't see that it pays to advertise. The people know what I've got; they can see it on the shelves." And others say: "Thirty-six inches to the yard and sixteen ounces to the pound is the best advertisement." All of this, to us, is the sorriest argument. It is doubtless true that the people generally know what is on the shelves of the merchant who does not advertise, for the goods, perhaps, have been there so long that they are shelf-worn and a familiar sight to all who enter the store. There may be those who consider the latter excuse a good one, but not so with us. It is no ad. at all to give thirty-six inches to the yard or sixteen ounces to the pound, for every honest man is expected to and will do this, and no one but a fool would patronize a merchant known to be dishonest. So much for two of the dimsy excuses; now let's see about the other: "I can't see that it pays to advertise." Does it pay the merchant for his town to be built up; to have favorable and flattering mention made of it in the local paper every week; to have said about it that which causes people to visit the place and leave at least a few nickels and dimes; is it to the merchant's interest that people be induced to come to his town to sell their produce and buy their goods? If not, why is he in town, instead of a settlement road in the country? If it is to his interest, should he not help pay the expense? Not one cent of the expense falls on the man who does not advertise or help support the local paper that is continually and unceasingly working for the town and indirectly for every merchant in it. The burden falls entirely on the paper and others reap the benefit. Is this right? Is this just, or is it honest? We want our merchants to consider and answer. Mayo Free Press. Pensions The annual report of the auditor of the Interior Department shows that the disbursements from the appropriations are proceeding. New York, San Francisco and Buffalo capital is back of the enterprise, which will cost several millions of dollars. The only element of doubt in the scheme is the distance that the voltage may be economically transmitted, for the little towns in the part of the state where the electricity is developed cannot use all the motive power this enterprise proposes to develop. The project to harness the waters of the stream in Maricopa canyon, among Sierras back of Petaluma, is going ahead. Engineers are at work ascertaining what power may be developed there and the best means of conveying it from the mountain streams and waterfalls to Stockton, and possibly to San Francisco. Enough work has been done to show that at least 4000-horsepower may be sent through the Sacramento valley. N.Y. Sun. Bad Fruit Outlook The fruit situation in San Leandro district has become serious. Hundreds of tons of pears are rotting on the ground about that place, which is in Alameda county. Growers who own large orchards state they would rather let the fruit rot than to sell it at the figure offered. The highest offered for Bartlett pears this season is $7 a ton, against $32, the amount received last season for the same fruit. This drop in price is attributed to the abundance of fruit shipped down river from the Sacramento valley. The early morning boat service recently established to Oakland also hurt the market in the San Leandro district, as fruit from the Sacramen to valley is sold at the city wharf to the wholesale fruit dealers and peddlers, and its sale in Oakland cuts out a certain line of trade which at one time came from San Leandro. A Communication Mr. EDITOR—Allow me to speak a few words in favor of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. I suffered for three years with bronchitis and could not sleep at nights. I tried several doctors and various patent medicines, but could get nothing to give me any relief until my wife got a bottle of this valuable medicine, which has completely relieved me. W.S.Brockman, Bagnell, Mo. This remedy is for sale by all druggists. Women's Clubs The District Federation of Women's Clubs will meet at Santa Ana October 10th and 11th. Preparations are being made by local clubs to provide entertainment. At a joint meeting of the Ebell and Woman's Club, committees were appointed as follows to take charge of the convention: Press, Badge and Program—Mmes. D.C.Higbie, chairman; J.A.Finley and F.A.Marks. House—Mmes. A.J.Lawton, chairman; Sarah E.Earhart, Helen McCloy, J.G.Bailey, W.W.Crosler, Robinson, Smith, Misses Mary Cotter and Lucy Boyle; Music—Mrs.A.J.Padgham, chairman; Entertainment—Mmes.

Smith was followed by Booth of Santa Barbara. The latter reiterated what Smith had said, and added that it the Eighth district sent a man to Congress he should be returned when term expired, as in that way he would be of greater service to his section of the district. Captain Daniels was given a hearty greeting when introduced by the chairman. The captain called attention to his service in the war of the Rebellion. He said he loved the Republican party and had voted for Lincoln and was ever a staunch Republican. He said he was not too old to serve in Congress. He was alive to the interests of the southern part of the state, and if elected would do his utmost to improve conditions in the district. Senator Nutt was the next candidate introduced to the convention. He gave a short history of his life and told of his services in the state Senate. He thought himself well qualified to hold the position of representative from the Eighth district, as he had made a deep study of legislative work. Nutt was also given hearty applause when he concluded. After voting ineffectually for 36 ballots, the convention adjourned to meet at Oxnard on the 11th. Croup Usually begins with the symptoms of a common cold; there is a chilliness, sneezing, sore throat, hot skin, quick pulse, hoarseness and impeded respiration. Give frequent small doses of Ballard's Horehound Syrup (the child will cry for it), and at the first sign of a croupy cough apply frequently Ballard's Snow Liniment externally to the throat. 50 cents at J. P. Hatzfeld's. A JOLLY COURTSHIP Tess—So Mr. Groosum really proposed to you?

A Shocking Calamity "Lately befell a railroad laborer," writes Dr. A. Kellett of Williford, Ark. "His foot was badly crushed, but Bucklen's Arnica Salve quickly cured him. It's simply wonderful for burns, boils, piles and all skin eruptions. It's the world's champion healer." Cure guaranteed. 25c. Sold at Hatzfeld's. Pensions The annual report of the auditor of the Interior Department shows that the disbursements from the appropriations for army pensions for the year ending June 30, 1902, amounted to $133,556,039, as follows: Survivors of the Mexican and Indian wars and the war of 1812. 1963,020; invalids, $100,707,109; widows, $28,155,077; minors, $1,112,304; dependent relatives, $2,400,616; helpless children, $123,930; army nurses, $98,362. The disbursements for navy pensions for the same period amounted to $3,844,702, as follows: Invalids, $2,617,907; widows, $1,114,939; minors, $33,889; dependent relatives, $76,091; helpless children, $1776. The total payments to pensioners were $137,400,741 during the year ended June 30, 1902. as Years a Dyspeptic R. H. Foster, 318 S. 2nd street, Salt Lake City, writes: "I have been bothered with dyspepsia or indigestion for 21 years; tried many doctors without relief. Recently I got a bottle of Herbine. One bottle cured me; I am now tapering off on the second. I have recommended it to my friends; it is curing them too." 50c at Hatzfeld's. KEEP CALLING Principal—Well, did you get that money owing by Smith? Collector—I'm sorry to say I did not. There were a number of Smiths at that address and all of them denied being your debtor. One even threw me out. Principal—That's the one. Call on him again. Devoured by Worms Children often cry, not from pain but from hunger, although fed abundantly. The entire trouble arises from insultion. Their food is not assimilated, but devoured by worms. A few doses of White's Cream Vermifuge will cause them to cease crying and begin to thrive at once, very much to the surprise and joy of the mother. 25 cents at J. P. Hatzfeld's. Scrofula Few are entirely free from it. It may develop so slowly as to cause little if any disturbance during the whole period of childhood. It may then produce irregularity of the stomach and bowels, dyspepsia, catarrh, and marked tendency to consumption before manifesting itself in much cutaneous eruption or glandular swelling. It is best to be sure that you are quite free from it, and for its complete eradication you can rely on Hood's Sarsaparilla The best of all medicines for all humors. FACTS ABOUT ANAHEIM. Sketch of the industries and Resources on this Most Beautiful Part of California. The City of Anaheim, with a population of 2500, is situated in the northern part of Orange county, in Southern California, 12 miles from the ocean, 4½ miles from the foothills, and 148¼ feet above sea level. It is 27 miles from Los Angeles, the second largest city in the State of California. The climatic conditions are the most favorable for out-door life to be found in Southern California. The temperature is extremely uniform, seldom rising above 90 degrees in summer, or falling below 32 degrees in winter. The abundance of sunlight and the absence of sharp frosts and cold winds make it a place especially acceptable to those desiring to escape the severe climate of the east. The country is very attractive. It is practically level, with just sufficient slope from the hills to afford adequate drainage. The roads are level, well graded, and well kept, affording excellent opportunities for cycling and driving. The soil is a rich sandy loam which never bakes, making it a very easy ground to work; thus lending itself readily to the cultivation of berries, nuts, oranges, etc. The variety of products, and the possibility of procuring small tracts of land at low figures, and on easy terms, make our section of the county very attractive and advantageous for truck raising, or for farming on a small scale. The following are a few of the products: oranges, lemons, walnuts, grapes, peaches, apricots, sugar beets, berries and vegetables of all kinds. Anaheim is the possessor of a Building and Loan Association, Water company, two railroads, fruit cannery and drier, large oil industry, ostrich farm, bank, several adequate commercial houses, two hotels and two newspapers. The city also owns its water and lighting plant. Republican Nominees Governor—George C. Pardee of Alameda. Lieutenant Governor—Alden Anderson of Solano; Chief Justice of the Supreme Court—William H. Beatty of San Francisco. Associate Justices—Lucien Shaw of Los Angeles and F. M. Angellotti of Marin. Secretary of State—Charles F. Curry of San Francisco. State Controller—E. P. Colgan of Santa Rosa. State Treasurer—Truman Reeves of San Bernardino. Attorney General—U. S. Webb of Plumas. Surveyor General—Victor Woods of San Luis Obispo. Clerk of the Supreme Court—Frank C. Jordan of Alameda. State Printer—W. W. Shannon of San Francisco. For Superintendent of Public Instruction, Thomas J. Kirk was nominated by Frank Rowell of Fresno. John P. Greeley of Orange was nominated by Judge Ballard. F. C. Rutherford of Nevada was offered by Heins of San Francisco. The vote resulted: Kirk 320, Greeley 361, Rutherford 140. No choice. The second ballot was as follows: Greeley 392, Kirk 380, Rutherford 57. No choice. Rutherford's name was withdrawn. The third vote resulted: Greeley 412, Kirk 417. In the Fourth Equalization district A. G. Kentall of San Bernardino was defeated by James Mattison of Santa Cruz.

FACTS ABOUT ORANGE CO. The census bureau has issued a bulletin on agriculture in California which we quote from extensively in another part of this issue. One of the interesting features of the report is the paragraph giving the number of farms and acres of farming lands in the five Southern California counties. The pre-eminence of Orange county is apparent: But it is in the acreage of irrigated lands that Orange county takes easy precedence over the other counties of Southern California: The area of Orange county is 780 square miles; that of Los Angeles, 880; that of Riverside, 708; that of San Bernardino, 20,055, and that of San Diego, 8400 square smiles. Orange county thus contains one-fifth the area of Los Angeles; yet its irrigated lands approach in area to one-half those of its neighbor to the north. Riverside embraces nine times its area, yet it irrigates 9000 more acres, or a fourth more than the belauded county on the east. San Bernardino is 25 times its size, yet its irrigated acres exceed those of this jumbo county by nearly 4000, approximately ten per cent. San Diego is eleven times its size, yet it irrigates 2500 acres more than the county on the south—300 per cent is the former's irrigated area as compared with that of the latter—almost the irrigated area of San Diego and Riverside combined. Orange county possesses the finest system of irrigation, the most secure water rights, that exist in Southern California. That is what we have said many a time and oft. These figures prove it. It is the handsomest and most productive county that lies outdoors and is settling up faster than any other in the State. Josh Westhafer of Loogootee, Ind., is a poor man, but he says he would not be without Chamberlain's Pain Balm if it cost five dollars a bottle, for it saved him from being a cripple. No external application is equal to this liniment for stiff and swollen joints, contracted muscles, stiff neck, sprains and rheumatic and muscular pains. It has also cured numerous cases of partial paralysis. It is for sale by all druggists. New Scale Killer Alexander Craw of the quarantine division of the state board of horticulture has returned to San Francisco from a tour of the southern part of the state, where he has been investigating the habits of the South African fly, recently introduced to destroy the black scale of the olive and orange orchards. Mr. Craw found that the imported flies, scutellista cyanea, will thrive in California. Those already sent out have passed through three stages of existence, and will instinctively hunt the black scale wherever it may be found. It has already demonstrated in Africa usefulness in this respect. It brings with it habit of speed, for it takes the native California destroyer of black scale one year to get ready for business, while the African importation is a scale killer in forty-seven days from the time the egg is first deposited. It has four wings. Stood Death Off E.B.Munday, a lawyer of Henrietta Tex., once fooled a grave-digger. He says: "My brother was very low with material fever and jaundice. I persuaded him to try Electric Bitters, and he was soon much better, but continued Its use until he was wholly cured. I am sure Electric Bitters saved his life." This remedy expels malaria, kills disease germs and purifies the blood, aids digestion, regulates liver, kidneys and bowels, cures constipation, dyspepsia, nervous diseases, kidney troubles, female complaint; gives perfect health.

Strong of odor and not easily beautiful in appearance, she represents outside covering of 22,213 seals, and on the markets of the world, odoriferous and unsightly as they are, they will bring in the neighborhood of $360,000. The Brunswick's cargo represents the season's work of seal slaughter on and around St. George and St. Paul islands. THE PRISONER Who escapes from jail is by no means free. He is under the ban of the law and punishment is written over against his name. Soon or he will be caught again and bear added punishment for his short escape from his cell. Those who by the use of palliative powders and tablets escape for a time from the sufferings of dyspepsia are in the same condition as the escaped prisoner. Soon or late they will go back to the old condition and pay an added penalty for temporary release. Dr.Pierce's Gold- Among the new and useful metallurgical processes note the San Francisco co Scientific Press speaks of one which iron may be effectively protected from rust. In this solution of ferroan oxide is mixed with a flaxseed varnish to which has been added a small quantity of turpentine or benzol. The evaporation of the alcohol leaves the flaxseed varnish, which forms a coat and protects the cyanide of iron, the same beard deposited upon the metal by the use of ferrocyanide, the only preparation required by iron for such treatment that ing the removal of any rust must have formed on it not admitting of this section of such a solution. Another process of interest to workers in metallurgy is that of substituting the use of mahanese for German silver, the different metals and their proportions being followed: Copper 67.25 per cent; mahanese 18.50 per cent; zinc 18 percent; aluminium 1.25 per cent; color of this metal closely resembles German silver, being also fully strong as the best quality of the latter and possessing superior adaptation for casting. France and Depopulation. While European Russia will need only 45 years or so, Germany about 18 years, Austria-Hungary 70 years, England 80 years, Italy 110 years, it will take France over 860 years to double its population! What signifies the loss Alsace-Lorraine's 1,500,000 souls can cope with the loss France suffers every day? In last five years the German population has increased by 8,000,000 people by only 175,000, who are even of French nationality. The increase of a nation is of the utmost importance to the success of its country it has meant much in the nineteenth century; it will mean more in the twelfth England, Germany, aye, ever Italy, have millions of representatives on foreign soil; France has none, or few to signify.

Sleep seems to be in many cases a matter of habit, just as eating and drinking are habits. The Arab whose desert life leads to abstemiousness, declines the offer of a draught of water, saying, "No thank you, I drank yesterday." He drinks only when thirsty, and like his own camels, he can go long and far without water. It's much the same with sleep. When Gabet and Hue, the French missionaries, were exploring Tartary they engaged in the translation of the Scripture, working without intermission day and night. When one felt the need of sleep he lay on a couch, holding in his hand a ball, bencail which, on the floor, was a brazen bowl. When his muscles relaxed sufficiently to release the ball, it fell into the bowl, and the noise wakened the sleeper who resumed his work. But it is one thing to give up sleep and another thing altogether to be unable to sleep. Those who suffer from asthma, bronchitis and other diseases of the organs of respiration are only too familiar with this enforced wakefulness. They would give almost anything for a night's unbroken rest. THE SECRET OF SLEEP Even when the disease was far advanced; when there were hemorrhages, night-sweats, emaciation and great weakness, "Golden Medical Discovery" has cured the disease and restored the strength. WHAT FEW MEN KNOW, is that catarrh in its commonest or simplest form is a menace not merely to health but to life. Catarrh of the lungs is but a step removed from consumption. Catarrhal affections should therefore never be neglected. They are as dangerous as they are offensive. "For twelve years I was a sufferer from catarrh and was treated by one of the best physicians in the State of North Carolina, who said the trouble had reached my lungs," writes Mr. J. M. Patton, of Clotho, Transylvania Co., N.C. "I grew worse every day until I tried Dr. Pierce's medicines. Will say, Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, working without intermission day and night. When one felt the need of sleep he lay on a couch, holding in his hand a ball, bencail which, on the floor, was a brazen bowl. When his muscles relaxed sufficiently to release the ball, it fell into the bowl, and the noise wakened the sleeper who resumed his work." By purifying the blood and increasing the activity of the blood-making glands "Golden Medical Discovery" strengthens every organ of the body. Accepting the fact that the blood is the life, it follows that the healthfulness of the physical life will depend upon the healthfulness of the blood, and that a deficient supply of blood must result in a deficiency of physical strength. To Prevent Iron Rust. Using the new and useful metallurgy processes of note the San Francisco Press speaks of one by iron may be effectively protected against. In this a solution of ferrocynin with a flaxseed varnish, has been added a small quinine-pentine or benzol. The evaporation of the alcohol leaves the flaxseed which forms a coat and procyanide of iron, the same being used upon the metal by the use of coxyanide, the only preparation by iron for such treatment before removal of any rust that may form on it not admitting of the aid such a solution.

Upon the iron highway, wreathed in smokes Or cast or west the clanking engine reels. The weary dust spins onward at the stroke Of half a hundred wheels. It comes, the breathless driver staring straight Through misy eyeshields, with the sudder gleam Of burnished dome, and cranks of ponderous weight And clouds of hissing steam. Old countrymen that trudge from new plowed lands And on high bridges stay their weary feet See faces flashed beneath them, waving hands That may not stay to greet Or slow, with hollow blast and wealthy din. By wide armed signals creeps the laden train. High vans with shuddering jolt and clinking pin And hiss of clattering chain. Wide eyed, affrighted cattle, meek and still. And murky coal for city folk to burn. And dusty blocks hewed from some western hill And wreathed in twisted fern. But, best of all, when, in the sullen night. Along the dim embankment, hung in air, shoots the red streamer, linked with cheerful light. The wide fung furnace glare Lights the dim niggers and the rolling steam. Then passes and, in narrowing distance, dies Tracked by the watchful lanterns' lessening gleam—Two red resentral eyes. "Lord Veyt and Other Poems" by Arthur Christopher Benson. His Journalistic Creed. Alfred Harmsworth of the London Daily Mail is quoted as confessing to this journalistic creed in The Bookman: covery with one bottle of Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy cured me, and to-day I am well and hearty, and I will say further that my former physician, Dr. W.M. Lyday, recommends Dr. Pless's medicine to me and to others. I am sure your medicines will cure any case of catarrh that exists. I recommend them to all." By purifying the blood and increasing the activity of the blood-making glands "Golden Medical Discovery" strengthens every organ of the body. Accepting the fact that the blood is the life, it follows that the healthfulness of the physical life will depend upon the healthfulness of the blood, and that a deficient supply of blood must result in a deficiency of physical strength. "Golden Medical Discovery" gives health and strength by increasing the quantity and improving the quality of the blood. The evidence of this lies in marked gain in weight experienced by those who have become emaciated by wasting disease, and who have cured by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery." It is not a gain of flabby fat, but a gain of sound flesh and firm muscle, and with this gain of flesh and muscle comes a gain of strength, which seeks a new outlet for itself in active exercise. The frequent testimony, "It has made a new man of me," thoroughly expresses the real rejuvenation which comes to those cured by the use of "Golden Medical Discovery." Accept no substitute for "Golden Medical Discovery." No so-called just as good medicine can compare with the "Discovery" when its record of cures is considered. 21 CENTS TO UNCLE SAM.

Alfred Harmsworth of the London Daily Mail is quoted as confessing to this journalistic creed in The Bookman: "I believe in hard work, but hard work is not enough. "I believe in travel. "I believe that half the journalistic notions of what the public wants to read are wrong. "I believe the public is a far better critic than is usually imagined. "I believe that the public does not care one lota about size; if anything, a small journal is preferred to a big one. "I believe that price has very little to do with the success of a publication. "I believe the attractions of illustrated journalism are enormously overrated. "I believe the value of colored illus trations is grossly exaggerated. "I believe party journalism to be practically dead. "I believe in independence." A Man's Diagnosis. "George, did you notice Mrs. Highroller's new bonnet?" "Yes, of course. Wasn't it lovely? It looked like one of your lace tidies wopsed up with two feathers, a decanter stopper and a wad of red necktie sticking out of it." — New York Truth. No Wonder He's Successful. One of the most successful colored politicians in North Carolina is Cicero Urkart, according to the testimony of his home paper, which says of him: "Cicero was elected constable of Woodville township at the last election. In the interval between election and bonding time Cicero put in his nights, it is alleged, stealing cotton from William Hardy, colored. Cicero was indicted for larceny, and while the jury was out Cicero ran away. The jury failed to agree—standing 11 white men for conviction and a negro preacher for acquittal. Cicero went down to Norfolk, where he lived happily ever afterward."
