SUBSCRIPTION---85.00 PER ANNUM MOCRS LOSE HEAVILY Sustain Ten Thousand Casualties in Battle With French. SHOW FANATICAL BRAVERY Moroccan Troops Repeatedly Charge to the Mouths of the Enemy’s Guns Until Their Forces Lay in Great Piles on the Ground. London, Feb. 5—A London news agency publishes a dispatch from Tan- gler saying there has been a battle between the French and the Moors at Settat, Morocco, in which 10,000 Moors were killed or wounded and in which the French losses amounted to 160 men, including four officers. The Moors, with intense bravery, charged to the mouths of the guns until their forces lay in great piles on the ground. It is possible that the engagement referred to in the above dispatch is the same fight that was reported from Paris Monday night in which eight Frenchmen were killed and fifty wounded. The latter fight occurred Just south of Kasbah Ber Rchid and “his place is near Settat, the scene of the engagement just reported. The Kasbah Ber Rchid engagement was a sanguinary one and the number of Moors attacking the French was placed at many thousands. RUSSIA TO AID PERSIA. Wnaications Point to Demonstration Against Turkey. St. Petersburg, Feb. 5—Five thou- sand troops have been ordered from Northern Caucasus to the Turko-Per- #ian frontier, whither soldiers in small detachments have been proceeding steadily for several weeks past. ‘This concentration is due to the aggressive attitude of the Turks in their frontier dispute with the Per- sians. It is believed in St. Petersburg that Russia is about to undertake a mili- tary demonstration against Turkey. The governments of Turkey and Persia have been disputing about the boundary line near Tabriz for some time past and the situation is a seri- ous one, as the interests of Germany, Great Britain and Russia may be seri- ously affected by an outbreak. Turkish troops have occupled Per- slan territory and committed depre- dations and there have been serious disorders at Tabriz. Russia is bound by treaty to help Persia and for sev- eral weeks past there have bheen evi- dences that she was preparing to send troops from the Caucasus to aid her ally. TWO MEN BRUTALLY WHIPPED Night Riders Also Destroy Warehouse at Dycusburg, Ky. Salem, Ky., Feb. 5—Two hundred masked night riders visited Dycus- burg, Ky, and burned Bennett’s to- bacco warehouse and distillery. The loss is about $40,000. The mob shot up the home of Wiil- fam Groves, foreman of the tobacco fadtory, “driving him from the build- ing.i He was captured and whipped al- most to death. Henry Bernnett, a member of the firm of Bennett Bros., was taken from his home, tled to a tree and severely whipped. He was left bound to the tree. Bennett Bros. operate an inde- pendent factory and have been buying tobacco from non-association growers, it is claimed. ‘When the mob called at Groves’ house they requested him to come out. He declined to do so and the shooting at once began. FIFTEEN OF CREW PERISH Bteamer St. Cuthbert Burned Off Nova Scotian Coast. Halifax, N. S, Feb. 5.—In the midst of a wild blizzard the steamer St. Cuthbert was burned to the. water’s edge off the Nova Scotian coast. Fifteen members of the crew were drowned by the swamping of a small boat In which they attempted to leave the vessel after fire had broken out. The other thirty-seven members of the crew, including the captain, were rescued by the White Star liner Cym- rle. After taking off the survivors the Cymric abandoned the burning steam- Br and proceeded to Boston.

Johannesburg, Feb: 5—A movement was begun at a largely attended meet- ing herve to boycott Asiatic traders and all employers of Asiatics. It is an outcome of the recent anti-Asiatic agi- tation in the Transvaal. A “white Jeague” committee was appointed to further the movement throughout the colony. DROPS THE WORD MARGIN Henry Clews’ Customers Now Deal in “Credits.” New York, Feh. 5.—Henry Clews has announced that in the future, in view of President Roosevelt’s refer- ence tc marginal transactions, his office would: abandon the use of the word “margin” and instead use the word “credit” Mr. Clews posted on the bulletin board of his office the fol- lowing statement: “As President Roosevelt reflects un- favorably on transactions made on ‘margin’ in his message I want it dis- tinctly understood that that word will not be used in connection with my business. The word ‘credit’ will be substituted in place of the word ‘mar- gin’ Therefore customers must make their orders read: ‘Buy 100 shares New York Central on credit, we to give 10 per cent satisfactory security on the credit account as usual.’” In commenting on the president’s message Mr. Clews said: “The president’s attack on options in his last message to congress cer- tainly cannot apply tc any business transacted on the New York Stock Exchange, as options are not dealt in there. Options of some three to sixty days were formerly dealt in, but were abandoned long ago.” . BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. Wilmot H.

A —— MESSAGE DISCUSSED House Democratic Leader Says It Contnms Some Good Tll_ings. WOULD PUNISH MAGNATES Mr. Williams Disagrees With Presi: dent's Declaration That It ls Use- less to Attempt to Imprison the Heads of Lawless Corporations. Washington, Feb. 5. — President Roosevelt’s ‘recent message was the subject of an hour’s speech in the house by Mr. Williams (Miss.), the Democratic leader. In beginning his speech Mr. Williams said he disagreed with Mr. Hepburn’s statement of Mon- day that the message met with the ap- proval of the entire American: people. “Indeed,” he said, “there are things in it sensational, federalistic and danger- ous to the American public.” Mr. Hepburn, he declared, had threatenod the “big four of the house,” the speaker and Messrs. Payne, Dal- ell and Sherman, when he ssserted at the house would pass the remedial Ipgislation the president had recom- ménded. He hoped to see the stand- ard of rebéllion raiséd by Mr. Hep- burn and he sald he hoped to see some of the things spoken of in the message enacted into law. He was not & hero worshipper and therefore he would cunsider the message “without any regard to the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt,” from whom the message emanated.. “I shall consider it,” he said, amid loud Democratic applause, “Just as if it had been a message emanating in the past from Grover Cleveland or Willlam McKinley or a message which more nearly resembles 1n its substance one to emarate in the future from ‘the Hon. William J. Bryan.” Mr. Williams declared that he was not one of those who were afraid of a radical in the White House. He dis- cussed briefly the history of railroad rate legislation and insisted that it was of Democratic origin. Some Good Things in Message. Returning to the president’s mes- sage Mr. Williams said it was not de- serving of all around eulogy by any wman who loved demecratic institu- tions. There were however, good things in it. He did not think, he said, that the Democrats would en- dorse that part of the message which recommended restoring to the rail- roads the power to pool, or which ad- vocated federal licensing of corpora- tions, or which declared it useless to attempt to punish “the men, the flesh, the beings” who Violate the law in the name of corporation authorities. As to the corporations. Mr. Willlams de- clared they never would be properly punished “until you visit purishment upon the flesh and blood from whose brains and by whose acts the viola- tlons take place.” In this connection he referred to Paul Morton, former secretary of the navy, and asked: “Did he get out of the cabinet to go to a prison after a confession of a long continued viola- tion of these very laws?” No, he said, but instead he jumped into a Incrative position in private life, “with a letter of commendation ®rom the vresident of the United SAID TO GLEAN THE BLOOD OF ALL IMPURITIES Try This Simple Mixture Which Any- one can Easily Prepare at Home. All medical authorities are agreed that the blood is the great source of disease or of health in the human system. If the blood is pure the individual is strong and healthy, if the blood is impure or diseased then there is sickness or decay in the -whole system. Rheumatism is strictly a blood disease. Itis caused by excessive uric acid. Sores, pimples, etc., mean bad blood. Catarrhal affections must be treated throngh the blood to get permanent results. To get well, to feel strong, hearty and and vigorous one must have good clean blood and lots of it. You can’t clean the blood thoroughly unless the kidneys are made active. Bad blood means ¢logged, inactive kidneys and liver which causes, too, such symtoms as backache, ner- vousness, bladder- and urinary diffi- culties and other sympathetic trou- bles. > Here is a simple home remedy and the recipe for making it up is as follows: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one- half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarsapar- illa, three ounces. Shake well in a bottle and take in teaspoonful doses after each meal and again at bedtime. The ingredients can be obtained at any good prescrip- tion pharmacy at small cost. Here the readers of this paper have a simple yet powerful and effective remedy for all forms of blood, kidney and bladder diseases which: should relieve rheumatism and catarrhal affections and “re- place that weak, worn-out indiffer- ent feeling with strength vigor and health. ‘ —made from gra The only Baking Powder made with Royal Grape Cream of Tartar Insures healthful and delicious food for every home—every day Safeguards your food against alum and phosphate of lime nes— States.” Mr. Willlams insisted that a cor- poration as such could not commit a crime and therefore he advocated pun- ishing the responstble heads of the ocorporations. “Punish one,” he said, “and you will not have to punish any more.” A PENSION BILL REPORTED. All Agencies Abolished in Committee Measure. Washington, Feb.- 5—The house commiittee on appropriations reported favorably the pension bill for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1909. The bill as reporied abolishes the pension agen- cles located at Augusta, Me.; Boston; Buffalo; Chicago; Columbus, O.; Con- cord, N. H.;,Des Moines; Detroit; dianapolis; Knoxville, Tenn.; Louis- ville, Ky.; Milwaukee; New York city; Philadelphia; Pittsburg; San Fran- cisco and Topeka and consolidates them in one- central distributing agency at Washington. The hill as reported carries a total pension appro- priation of $150,869,000, which is $174,- 000 less than-the aggregate estimates —the exact sum savable by the con- solidation of the agencies. Catholic Church Claims. Washington, Féb. :5—A bill appro- priating $402,000 for the payment of Catholic church claims in the Philip- pine islands was reported favorably hy the house commitiee on insular at- fairs. The award of the army board to cover this clain. was $363,000. Forty thousand dollars of the $403,000 is given as an equity. The committee divided on this proposition, the chair- morp, Mr. Cooper of Wisconsin, voting with two Democrats who voted against | the additional sum. Hotel Guests Narrowly Escape. Mount Clemens, Mich., Feb. 5.—Fire destrayed the Minnestola hotel, a two- slory structure which had fifty rooms. The fire started in the heating plant In the basement. and spread rapidly. All of the guests, however, escaped in safety, but lost all their belongings. L H. Bllsworth of Oak Harbor, O., the only person injured, sprained his back severely in jumping from a sec- ond story window. Those Who Tie Knots. Can any one tell why the landlubber in tying a cord around a package or anything else will always make a gran- ny knot instead of a square not? We all do it in spite of thunder. To tle a reef knot or sailor's knot requires thought and experience. Yet It s as eagy as a granny knot. Nevyer believe for a moment that sallors are the only people In the world who can tle knots. Go to an operating theater in some big hospital and take note of the skill with which surgeons and even nurses employ bandages and ligatures. Learn from them how to tie the clove hitch, the combined surgeon’s and reef knot, the Staffordshire knot, the common surgeon’s knot, the friction knot, Hen- sen’s knot, Tait’s knot, etc.—New York Press. £ Carefully Selected. One of the most remarkable features of life In New South Wales is the transformation of criminals into hard- working citizens. Of the 80,000 set- tlers there in 1821, 20,000 were or had been convicts. It is said that on board an American Iiner a boastful Austra- lian asserted loudly and over and over again that “the men who settled Aus- tralla were a remarkably sensible lot.” “Yes,” sald an American quietly, “I have always understood that they were sent out by the very best judges.” Preparing For Dinner. One of the residents of the. town of Idvor was noted for his parsimony. Let us call him Mr. Wiggles. There ‘was an old major in Idvor who sg!d to his valet one evening, “Go and tell the cook to get me ready a chop and a poached egg.” “Pardon me, major,” sald the valet, “but have you forgotten that you are dining with Mr. Wiggles tonight?” The major frowned. “Yes,” he sald, “I had forgotten it. Tell the eook to make it two chops and two poached eggs.” ‘The Difference. Upgardson — Doesn’t Weerlus bore you nearly to death? He talks like a phonograph.

That it s not always well to put on one’s dowdiest garments when one goes to visit the poor is the moral of a story told in an English maga- zine recently. There were two phi- lanthropists, according to the tale, one a professional and the other an ama- teur. The professional had arranged to take the amateur to a gathering of slum dwellers in the east end of Lon- don. At the appointed hour the ama- teur, who happens to be a duchess and a great-beauty, appeared at the house of her friend, a dazzling apparition ip court dress, tlara and jewels. *“Oh, my dear,” gasped the professlonal, falling helplessly into the nearest chair, -“don't you know that we are going to one of the lowest and most squalid slums? I can't promise that you will bring any of that back with you.” But the beauty only laughed. “That’s all” right,” she-said: “I quite understand you. But poor people love beautiful things. Their children espe- cially are captivated with fine dresses and feathers. Just wait and you will see!” And the professional did see. Those poor, half starved, half naked slum dwellers had eyes for no one but the dazzling young beauty who had done them the infinite honor of coming to see them In her most beautiful frock and jewels.
