SUBSGRIPTION---$5.00 PER YEAR IN ADVAKCE CAUSTIC COMMENT. LA. G. Rutledge.] THE EDITOR AS HE IS. The successful editor of today has to get his nose down to the grindstone and keep it there twelve to fifteen hours a day, or he falls by the wayside. There are men who quit work Saturday night and rest until Sunday morning. They lay aside business cares at 5 or 6 o’clock every even- ing and do not resume them until 8 or 9 the next morning. Not so your editor. He has no elegant leisure. He knows no hours, no Sunday, no night. When he goes to a party, or to church, or on an alleged pleasure trip, it is always in the line of duty. Withal, your editor man is a cheer- ful, long-suffering soul, going about doing good in his humble way. He returns good for evil. He writes long puffs of social doings, and in return therefor’ accepts a chunk of cake that would sink an ironclad. He notes thne arrival of all the babies in his neighborhood and eternally perjures his soul by telling how beautiful they are. He rejoices with the gay and mourns with those who are sad. He booms every enterprise which makes his community rich and goes about, himself, clothed in his last year’s suit which was in style the year previous, with one gallus to hold up the outfit. He glories over the fortune of his neighbor, and meekly eats his own repast of boiled corn cobs and colored labels off tomato cans. He can write a sermon,an account of a prize fight, a political speech, an obituary notice or poetry, split wood, pitch hay, wash dishes, pre- side at a camp meeting and lead the choir, curry horses, drive a mule, quote law or gospel, or anything else, at a moment’s notice. And alas, and alack, a few of his brothers can drink the stuff that both cheers and inebriates—and incidentally drown sorrow. Some air ships are run by lung power—no reference to our contem- porary. Now that the tariff is taken off gloves, gentlemen, take some of the buttons off the backs of dresses. When the flying route stations are established, “airy nothings” will be given a local habitation and a name. Have no fear. Wars may come and wars may go, but Spanish onions and Russian cavaier will continue to come from the United States. A Washington scientist claims to have found a way of making whisky without a worm. What is really needed is whisky without the snakes. We submit that this kind of weather is no time to worry with William Jennings Bryan, John A, Johnson or any other of the notables who are browsing on the presiden- tial pasture. When a man pursuing the daily peaceful avocations of life goes around with a revolver on his per- son, it is prima facie evidence that he is either a fool or a criminal, and in either case he should be dis- armed. The Eyes of the Camel. One of the camels—the seven were Iying just beyond the circle of fire- light —rose complaining. Mustafa’s Ahmed slipped away upon his duty. Presently I heard his guttural cawing to get the camel again to rest, but the beast would not down and must be beaten, the boy meanwhile mouthing great curses. I wondered that a belng 80 small should without peril to him- gelf strike a creature like this with his @st, continuing all the time within reach’of teeth and hoofs. “I will tell the khawaja,” repled Mustafa, “a most curlous and interest- ing thing about this.” Ahmed had mastered the camel and now came to his place. “The khawaja has observed,” Musta- fa continued, “that a child may beat 'and command a camel. It is not be- cause the camel is stupid nor yet be- cause he is timid; it is because of a wise provision whereby God sulted him to the weakness of men. The camel's eyes are lke magnifying glasses and increase the stature of his master seven tlmes, wherefore he is obedient to the gigantic appearing creature.” In Damascus, too, I heard this super- stition.—Norman Duncan in Harper’s Magazine. SENATE AGREES ON TIME OF VOTE Will Act on Tariff Confer- ence Report Thursday. DEMOCRATS GIVE" NOTICE 8outhern Senators Intend to Make Diligent Effort to Have Cotton Bag: ging Placed on the Free List—Re: publican Leaders Now Confident That the Report Will Recelve Ap proval of Senate. ‘Washington, Aug. 4.—The tariff con ference report will be voted on in the senate at 2 p. m. Thursday. An agree ment to this effect was reached in the senate at the conclusion of a speech by Senator Clapp. The unani mous consent agreement was reached on motion of Senator Bailey. An effort was made by informal con ference to agree upon 3 p. m. Wed- nesday as the time at which a vote should be taken, but some senators feared that all of the speeches to be made could not be completed by that hour and, therefore, it was regarded as the better plan to have the vote Thursday. In reaching the agreement Senator Bailey intimated that there would be considerable discussion of the pro- posed concurrent resolution to correct the hide and leather paragraph. This suggestion was endorsed by Senator Bacon, who said that several senators might desire to correct other para graphs. This remark was Interpreted to mean that the minority would make diligent effort to have cotton bag- ging placed on the free list at the same time the duties on boots, shoes, harness and saddlery would be low- ered. -DISCUSSION IN THE SENATE Coriference Report on Tariff Bill Un- der Consideration. ‘Washington, Aug. 4—No sooner had the senate convened than the mem- bers were reminded of the disturbance over the leather schedule of the tar- iff bill. The subject was introduced by Senator Culberson, who, referring to the decision of the conference com- mittee to bring in a joint resolution remodeling the leather provision, gave notice that when the time came he would present an amendment putting cotton bagging on the free list. ‘Without attempting to enter into a discussion of the subject Mr. Cul- berson reminded senators that the senate had already taken action on a stmilar proposition and he Intimated that it would be no stretch of con- science to repeat the former action. That the decision with reference to leather had a reassuring effect was made evident by the placid counte- nance of the Republican leaders when they entered the semate chamber. Senator Aldrich expressed confidence that the bill would now go through without further difficulty and that even the so-called “range” senators, who have been the most strenuous ad- vocates of a duty on hides, were in- clined to join in this expresson of confidence. While not entirely pleased that leather and leather goods are to recelve any protection the “range sen- ators were not unmindful of the con- cession that had been made and for the first time announced an intention to vote for the bill. A few of the insurgents were still ‘displeaséd, but it was evident that most of them would fall into line on the final roundup. Senator Clapp Objects. Objection was made by Senator Clapp to the provision of the maxi- mum and minimum clause dating from April 30 the six months’ notice of an abrogation of commercial treaties con- flicting with the duties provided in the tariff bill. Mr. Aldrich replied that such notices had heen given forelgn governments threo months ago. The tariff commisslon clause of the bill, as changed by the conferees, be- came a subject of much explanation when Mr. Newlands arose and ques- tloned the chairman of the finance committee concerning the paragraph. Asked whether that provision would empower the president to obtain the cost of production of manufactured ar- ticles at home and abroad Mr. Aldrich replied that in his judgment the pro- vision would not only do that, but was actually broader in its authority than the senate paragraph which it replaced. Announcing that he could not con- scientiqusly vote for the conference report Mr. Clapp said: “After we un- dertook revision of the tariff as a re- sult of a demand by the consumers, a force for the first time began to arise, not for protection, but for profit —to intensify profit. Referring to his course in antago- nizing the tariff bill Mr. Clapp declared that the Republicanism ot himself and those who agreed with him had been called into question. “I am willing to submit my Republicanism,” he said, “to the only tribunal capable of de- termining it—to the people of my state who sent me here.”’ For Statewide Prohibition. Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 4—The Carmichael bill providing for state- wide prohibition was passed by the house, 75 to 19. VICTIM OF BRIGHTS [ISEASE Judge Solomon H. Bethea Dead at Sterling, Il Sterling, Ill, Aug. 4.—Judge Solo- man H. Bethea of the United States district court for the Northern dis trict of Illinois died here at the home of his cousin, 8. S.

Barcelona, Aug. 4—The normal life of Barcelona continues. The work men have returned to their labors and the anthorities announce that order has been restored. Communication with outside points by water and rail has been re-established. Madrid, Aug. 4—Tranquillity now relgns throughout Spain, except in certain isolated localities of Catalonia, according to an announcement made by the minister of the interior. A column of troops composed of ar tillery, cavalry and infantry is march ing on Sabadell, ten miles from Bar celona, where the insurgents are ‘still holding out, with orders to repress mercilessly any resistance that may be encountered. The general strike at Madrid and Bilbao failed owing to the precau tionary measures taken by the author: ities. DON JAIME TO HOLD ALOOF Pretender to Throne Will Not Inter fere in Present Crisls. Vienna, Aug. 4—Don Jaime, the pretender to the Spanish throne, de clared in an interview here that he had no intention of interfering in the present crisis in Spain and that his retirement to Frohsdorf, in Lower Austria, far from the Spanish frontier was proof of his peaceful purposes. “The Carlist party is a party of or- der,” saild Don Jaime. “I never will take upon myself to bring an entire people into danger for my own ends. Never will 1 lead Spaniard against DON JAIME. Spaniard. Should I return to Spain at the head of an army it would be only to restore order. This might happen should the revolutionaries drive out King Alfonso or the welfare of the country require it. The popu- larity of King Alfonso is declining through no fault of his own and Queen Victoria is certainly less liked than the king.” Don Jaime is of the opinion that the war in Morocco was unavoidable and he fears that it will last a long time. AWAITING REINFORCEMENTS 8panish Commander in Morocco Nof Ready to Advance. Madrid, Aug. 4.—General Marina, the Spanish military commander in Morocco, is awaiting reinforcements. As soon as the necessary troops ar- rive the advanced Spanish positions at Mount Atalayou and Sidlamet will be strengthened preparatory to an advance upon Zeluan, the Spanish ob- Jective. The Red Cross and other organiza- tions are working ceaselessly to care for the sick and wounded both at Me- lilla and at Spanish ports. “Bob” Burdette Seriously I Los Angeles, Cal,, Aug. 4—Dr. Rob- ert J. Burdette, the humorist and pas- tor of the Temple Baptist church here, is roported seriously ill at his cottage at Clifton-by-the-Sea.. He has not fully recovered from & severe in- jury to the spine which he sustained in a fall last March. The Magical Mirror. An ordinary mirror of any size or shape, a plece of French chalk pointed 80 that it can be used to write and a silk handkerchief are the requisites. Draw upon the mirror with the chalk any deslgn or words you choose. With the handkerchief wipe the glass light- ly untll it is perfectly clear and no writing or design is apparent. Having all this prepared beforehand, show to some one and request that he breathe gently on the face of the glass, when he will see a picture of his fature wife, for the design drawn will show very distinetly. This can agalc be wiped off, and if breathed upon the design will be again visible. An Odorless Disinfectant.

This solution, if allowed to stand In bowls or basins, will stain them purple. The stains may be re- moved with a weak solution of oxalic acid. The acid must be rinsed off im- medlately after it has been used. JUSTICE MILLS ~ AGAIN STEPS IN Examines Alienist in Thaw Insanity Hearing. CALLS FOR CONCLUSIONS Draws Opinion From Acting Super- Intendent - of Matteawan Asylum That He Considers the Plaintiff in the Case Insane and That His Re- lease Would Be a Menace to Pub- lic Safety. ‘White Plains, N. Y., Aug. 4—Justice Isaac N. Mills again stepped into the examinations at the Thaw sanity hear- ing and from’ Dr. Amos T. Baker, act- ing superintendent of the Matteawan asylum obtained the clearest state- ment yet expressed on the stand at the present proceedings regarding the mental condition of the slayer of Stanford White. The result of Jus- tice Mills' questioning might be claimed as an advantage by efther side. The witness said that he did not consider the opportunities he had to examine the prisoner sufficient to permit him to form a satisfactory con clusion. Nevertheless the. witness de- clared his belief that the prisoner was now insane and that Thaw's release would be a menace to public safety. Justice Mills began with the ob- servation that he considered Dr. Baker an extremely jmportant witness, since Dr.” Baker was a state officer and therefore supposedly free from bias. “What is your position?” asked Jus- tice Mills. “Is it that you have reached from your study of this case and observation of the man a full and firm conviction that he is insane, or is it that you have not had suffi- clent opportunities to study that prob- lem and reach such a conclusfon, one way or the other?” Considers Thaw Insane. “We have had a limited examina- tion, from which we consider the man insane,” replied Dr. Baker. “Do you consider that lmited ex- amination sufficient to reach a full firm conclusion as to his condition?” “No, sir.” “You had him under observation eleven months. I dor't understand Wwhy that was not sufficlent.” “He hasn’t answered our questions.” “Didn’t your notes of the past three months cover this subject?” “They covered it in a way, but he would speak in metaphors, and when| pressed would fall back upon ‘advice of counsel.’” “Do you notice any change in Mr. Thaw either way?” he inquired. “No; he is no worse, no better.” “Suppose you had this. man Thaw with no previous history of the case what would have been your position?” “This man showed certain evidences of mental feebleness. I should have had strong suspicions of*him confined to the data at hand. My position is that the man is insane.” “That’s enough,” said Justice Mills, “And when you say he is insane, you mean his being at large would be a public menace?” “Yes, Sir.” URGES SOCIALISTS TO ARM Victor Berger Sees Only Hope in Revoluvtion. Chicago, Aug. 4—Victor L. Berger, Milwaukee socialist, has come out as an advocate of rifles and bullets. In the current issue of the Social Demo- cratic Herald he has a signed edi- torial, in part as follows: “In view of the plutocratic lawmak- ing of the present day it is easy to predict -that the safety and hope of this country will finally le in one di- rection only—that of a violent and bloody revolution. “Therefore, I say that each of the 100,000 Socialist voters and the 2, 000,000 workingmen who instinctivly incline our way should, besides doing much reading and still more think- ing, also have a good rifle and the necessary rounds of ammunition in his home and be prepared to back up his ballot with his bullets of neces- sary.” ALLEGE $50,000 IS MISSING Experts Go Over Books of Cotton Mill Cashier. Anderson, S. C, Aug. 4—Calhoun Harrls, secretary and assistant cash- fer of the Orr cotton mills here, was arrested charged with breach of trust. Expert accountants who are going over his books announced that $50,000 was missing. Harris, who 1s soally preminent, says the apparent shortage will be found in clerical errors. Kills Child and Herself. Newark, N. J., Aug. 4—Miss Jullus Neneth, twenty-one years old, and her eight-months-old son, were found dead in Morris canal here, the babe clasped in the mother’s arms. It is believed that the woman drowned her- self and her child. Fourteenth Victim of Wreck. Spokane, Wash., Aug. 4—Fourteen are now dead as a result of the wreck on the Couer d’Alene and Spokane railway Saturday. J. C. Krause of Spokane, a widely known commercial traveler, hos died of his Injuries. The Best Way to Starve. If one feels bound to undertake star- vation for a period, it is best, a trained physician tells us, to make the process _not quite complete by eating a little at the usual intervals of fasting abso- lutely for a comparatively long time. .This makes freak treatment quite harmless. Physiologists find that as the body 1s starved fat and sugar dis- appear first, and then the minor or- gans are drawn upon to support the brain and heart, continning. until no more material can be spared. Exhaus- tion is then very near. D0 IT NOW Bemidji People Should Not Wait Until It Is Too Late. The appalling death-rate from kid- ney disease is due in most cases to the fact that the little kidney - trou- bles are usually neglected until they become serious. The slight symg- toms give place to chronic disorders and the sufferer goes gradually into the grasp of diabetes, dropsy, Bright’s Disease, gravel or some other serious form of kidney com- plaint. If you suffer from backaches, headaches, dizzy spells; if the kid- ney secretions are irregular of pas- sage and unnatural in appearance, do not delay. ~ Help the kidneys at once. b Doan’s Kidney Pills are especiallly for kidney disorders—they cure where others fail. Over one hun- dred thousand people have recom- mended them. Here’s a case at home. Mrs. L. Kane, living at 615 Fourth street, Bemidji, Minn., says: “I was a-sufferer from kidney com- plaint for a number of years. Doan’s Kidne Pills gave me great relief and I am confident anyone using them will receive great benefit. My trouble seemed to be of a dropsical nature and I also suffered much from rheumatic pains. =My system seemed to be filled with uric acid and I felt very miserable. I pro- cured Doans Kidney Pills at the Owl Drug Store, used them carefully as directed and as before said derived great benefit.” For sale by all dealers.
