The floral committee, | ghich rejected the emblem, have ed 2 statement, explaining the patter. The report says: | “The committee feels that it is | due the members ef the Grand Army of Columbus that they give the rea. | gon for rejecting the emblem. The! in whose mind the design of | that emblem originated, has by his | statements placed the committee in| v4 false attitude so far as rejecting | the emblem is concerned. “The chairman, in aceepting the | qreath, did not know what entered | into the formation of the emblem. When it was learned that the design eostained the emblem of the Ameri- | can flag, supported by an arm cloth- ed in the Confederate gray above | gnd an arm clothed in blue beneath, | mavy members of the Grand Army ofthe Republic entered their pro-| tests against the placing of the em- | blem upon the mound, in language | that could not be misunderstood. In regard to the objectionable features ofthe emblem, the gray arm being placed, not only above the blue, but on the emblem at all, was the only abjection to accepting the emblem.” Why the Fi Bucklen’s Arnica Salve The Best Salve in the world for cuts, bruises, sores, ulcers, salt theum, fever sores, tetter, chapped bands, chilblains, corns, and all skin etuptions, and positively cures piles orno pay required.

Hastings, | ‘sistant treasurer of the Chicago, | Rock Island & Pacific railway com- | Ritted suicide just before noon | foday by shooting himself twice | through the heart at his roem in the Hotel Throop. His aceounts are in | itst-class condition, but he had been | Sick for several months and as sub- J ittto melancholia, He was 35 years of age and unmarried. { Refers to Captain Jehnson, | A special correspondent writing | from Martineville, Ind., tothe Ham-| ilton county, Ind, Ledger makes the | following reference to Capt. Jobn-| son, now undergoing treatment at the Sanitarium at that place: “Lying upon his back ir hotel is a young captain of the| Spanish-Ameriean war. By his side} is his constant, devoted young wife, who is nursing him death’s door back to life again. There is something touching and worthy of admiration in the story of this couple. The young man was captain of a company of Missouri volunteer. His regiment was locuted | at Chickamauga and afterwards | moved to Lexington, Ky. Last Sep- tember while in camp there the Cap- tain was drenched by a heavy rain. He caught cold and rheumatism fol- lewed. He was a man of fine form and had passed the best physical ex- amination of any man in his regi- ment. But this availed him nothing against the dread disease and he was thoroughly in its clutches. Death seemed ineyitable. His parents and | sweetheart, to whom he had been engaged for some time, were notified of his serious condition and went to hia bedside The young girl, in order to give her betrothed better seavice as a nurse, thought it best to become his wife. A license was secured and they were married. “rom that hour to this she has been con- stantly at his side and given him every attention possible. The dec- tor tella me that he was almost a skeleton when brought here in Feb ruary and stiff in nearly every joint. He is now able to use one arm and the doctor thinks he will be on his feet in two months. Such suffering and trials are the legitimate fruits of war. But nations are built and civ- ilization advanced by such sseri- fices.” ‘cs this from alwost Beats the Klondike. Mr. A. CO. Thomas, of Marysville, Tex, has found a more valuable dis- covery than has yet been made in the Klondike.

Strike Situation at Rich Mull, The coal miners’ strike at Rich Bil has not yet assumed serious proportiens. Some haye quit but the large majority of miners remain at work. meetings of the miners were held, | one at the opera house and the other in the park. The meeting at the opera house | was held at the instigation of Supt. Williams, who desired to a the wishes of the miners onder his jurisdiction. At this meet- ing Amos Manchester was made chairman, and Henry G. Meyers secretary. After speech making by a number of minera present, a motion was made to submit the following demands to the company: First, That a uniform price ef 50c¢ and 55c per tom be paid the miners the year round—50c fer coal 3 feet 9 inehes and over, and 55c for coal under that height; second, that the company pay every two weeks; third, the rails be brought within reason- able distance of the face. was also carried to present a griev- ance of the drivers and day men in regard toa nine hour day. At the meeting no reference was made to striking. The first of the week indications were that there would be trouble in |the mining district and Sheriff Mudd was petitioned by the mine opera tors to be present. The Sheriff re- sponded to the call, but so far there has been no need for his services. | There are about 200 miners out, |» and tke matter of a strike appears to hinge almest entirely upon the action taken by the miners at No. 15, the most important mine in the fields. Is it Malaria or Alum? Popular Scientific Monthly. Languor, loss of appetite, indiges- tion and often feverishness are the common symptoms of a physiologi- cal condition termed ‘‘malaria.” All these symptoms may be and fre- quently are the effects ef the use of alum baking powders in food mak- ing. There is no question about the poisonous effects of alum upon the system. It obstructs digestion, prostrates the nerves, coagulates and devitalizes the blood. All this has been made clear, thanks to phy- sicians, board of health, and food commissioners. So “highly injurious tothe health of the community” does the eminent head of the uni- versity of Pennsylvania, Dr. Barker, consider the alum baking powders that he says their should be prohibited by law.” Under these circumstances it is worth the while of every hou ife to employ the very little care that is necessary to keep so dangerous an element from the food of her family. A pure cream of tarter baking powder, which is the only kind that should be used, ought to cost about forty-five to fifty eents a pound Therefore, if you are paying much less, something is wrong; if you are paying twenty five cents or less per peund, the powder is certainly made from alum. sale Always bear these simple facts in| mind when purchasiag baking pow- der. Footpads at Webb City, Webb City, Mo, June 3.—On the streets here last night footpads held up and robbed Mrs. Shiers, Mrs. Peppers, H. L. Dodson, Will Stod- ard, T. F. Coyne and H. G.
