Never Disappoints.
“Many extensively advertised reme
dies are failures when put to the test.
Hunt's Lightning Oil is an exception.
Confidence in it is never misplaced—
disappointment never follows its use.
It is surely the grandest emergency
remedy now obtainable. For cuts,
burns, sprain, aches and pains, I know
no equal.”

Immense Steel Plates.
The shell and boilers of the new
•Ounarder being built at Wallsend.
Kngland, are said by Consul Metcalf
to be constructed of the largest steel
plates in the world. They are silicon
steel, weighing ten tons each. The
boilers alone will weigh over 1,000
tons. Massive ingots and slabs
weighing 12 and It tons, are continu
ally passing through the rolling mills
there for this work.
Alum Baking Powder Is Wholesome.
Ur. Herman Reinbold, the expert
German chemist, in a recent official
report concerning Baking Powders,
declares that a pure alum baking pow
der is better and less injurious than
the so-called cream of tartar powders.
He says that if the quantity of alum
contained in a sufficient quantity of
baking powder for a batch of bread or
gakes for an ordinary family, be con
centrated to one mouthful of food,
ami taken into the stomach of any
one person, no matter how delicate,
it could do no harm. -On the contrary,
aluin is wholesome in proper quanti
ties. This is undoubtedly the reason
the State of Missouri quickly repealed
a law that prohibited the manufacture
of the most wholesome of all baking
powders. So much for Alum Baking
Powders.
GIANT RADISHES OF THE EAST
There the Vegetable Grows to an
Enormous Size.
$
Radishes in North China and in
Japan are as important and ubiqui
tous a part of every meal as is bread
in America, in both countries many
millions of bushels of ibis vegetable
arc grown every year, and they Ae
to be had at all seasons. It is thus
easy to understand why these parts
of the world grow the strangest and
biggest radishes known.
The giants beside the little French
Breakfast, our favorite American va
riety, are but babies beside t lie mon
sters they grow under llie warm,
moist influences of the oriental cli
mate.
i These radishes are grown on Amer
ican soil from seeds imported by the
United States department of agricul
ture from China. They take well to
the American climate, and probably
would have weighed five pounds when
lull grown.
W hen these fellows are grown in
China they rapidly form a great bril
liant red globe eight to ten inches in
diameter and weighing sometimes 20
pounds. Another kind is snow white
and grows a foot long, and still an
other is a brilliant green on the out
side and a beautiful wine red when
the skin is cut. Some of these
strange vegetables are exceedingly
delicate in flavor and texture when
grown under favorable conditions.

GOOD NIGHT'S SLEEP.
No Medicine so Beneficial to Brain
and Nerves.
Lying awake nights makes it hard
to keen awake and do things in day
time. To take "tonics and stimu
lants" under such circumstances is
like setting the house on lire to see
if you can put it out.
The right kind of food promotes re
freshing sleep at night and a wide
awake individual during the day.
A lady changed from- her old way of
eating, to Grape-Nuts, and says:
"For about three years 1 had been
a great sufferer from indigestion.
After trying several kinds of medi
cine, the doctor would ask me to drop
off potatoes, then meat, and so on,
but in a few days that craving, gnaw
ing feeling would start up, and I
would vomit everything I ate and
drank.
"When I started on Grape-Nuts,
vomiting stopped, and the bloating
feeling which was so distressing dis
.appeared entirely.
“My mother was very much both
ered with diarrhea before commenc
ing the Grape-Nuts, because her stom
Ach was so weak she could not digest
her food. Since using Grape-Nuts shf
is well, and says she don't think she
could live without it.
"It is a great brain restorer anc
-nerve builder, for I can sleep as sounc
and undisturbed after a supper O!
Grape-Nuts as in the old days whet
I could not realize what they mean
by a "bad stomach.” There is n<
medicine so beneficial to nerves am
brain as a good night's sleep, such a;
you can enjoy after eating Grape
Nuts.”

STOLYPIN SAFE
BUT ASSASSIN S BOMB SLAYS HIS
DAUGHTER AND 27 OTHERS.
Hands of Anarchy Reek With Russia’s
Gentle Blood, but the Old World
Moves On.
St. Petersburg.—Twenty-eight per
sons are dead and 24 wounded as the
result of a dastardly attempt to assas
sinate Premier Stolvpin with a bomb
while he was holding a public recep
tion at his country home at Aptekars
lcy Island. The premier was slightly
wounded in the lace and neck by fly
ing splinters.
Among the dead is the premier’s 15
year-old daughter, who had both legs
broken in the explosion, and subse
quently succumbed to her injuries;
Gen. Z&meatin, the premier’s personal
secretary; M. Kovostoff, former gov
ernor of the province of Pen/a; Col.
Fedoroff, commander of the premier's
personal guard; Court Chamberlain
Davidoff, Court Chamberlain Voronin
and Aide Doubassoff, and four women
and two children.
Prince Nakashidge, Police Officer
Kouunzeff, several guards and several
servants were also killed.
The wounded include M. Stolypin’s
3-year-old son, who is seriously, though
not fatally injured, tind a number of
liersons prominent in the social and
official world.
Of the four conspirators who engi
neered the outrage, two were killed
with their victims, while the third,
who acted as coachman for the party,
and the fourth, who remained in the
carriage, were badly wounded, and are
now in the St. Peter and St. Paul
fortress.
The havoc wrought by the explosion
is indescribable. Bodies were so torn
or mangled as to make identification
impossible, some of them headless,
armless or legless, lying among the
blood dripping wreckage. Pieces of
flesh and clothing clung to the shat
tered rafters overhead, and some
lodged in the branches of the elm
trees which border the roadway sep
arating the premier’s residence from
the river.
The terrorist who carried the ex
plosives into the house was literally
converted into pulp by the force of the
explosion. Inside the gendarme offi
cer's coat, which he bad on, was found
the death sentence of Premier Stoly
pin that he had tried to execute. The
police refuse to make public the con
tents of the documents.
From information obtained from rev
olutionary sources it is certain that
the crime was committed by the
fighting organization of the Social Rev
olutionists in retaliation for the war
which the government has been wag
ing against them. Since M. Stolypin’s
accession to the premiership more
than 1,000 of the members have been
arrested, 400 in St. Petersburg alone,
and many of these have been deported.
It has become known that an at
tempt upon M. Stolvpin was frus
trated ten days ago by the discovery
of the beginning of a subterranean
passage from the wall of the Grenadier
cliurcb, adjoining his residence. The
mining of the palaces and residences
formerly was a favorite method of the
Nihilists, but has not been used in re
cent years.
Emperor Nicholas, when apprised of
the disaster, sent his personal con
gratulations to Premier Stolvpin on his
escape, and the cabinet ministers and
many members of the diplomatic corps,
including Mr. Eddy, the American
charge d’affairs, tendered expressions
of sympathy.
All Sick With the Fever.
Pensacola, Fla.—With every mem
ber of her crew sick, including the cap
tain. and one man dying, the British
schooner Bonidon arrived off Pensa
cola harbor and asked for assistance.
She is bound from Colon for Ship
Island, but the men were no longer
able to man her, and signals for as
sistance were sent up at the first port.
The pilot boat Pilot went out and was
told by the master that when out some
distance from Colon one of the me
was taken with a fever of some nature
and that one by one his men took it
until every member of the crew was
down. Including himself, and that none
of the men was expected to live. He
asked that a tug be sent him to tow
to Ship Island, where he could quar
antine. The ship had been 14 days out
front Colon.
Postponed to September 1.
gt. Louis.—The meeting that was
to have been held in this city of sub
committees representing the railroad
committees of the organizations of
traveling men in Arkansas and south
ern Missouri, was not held, but was
postponed until Saturday, September
1. Among the organizations interested
in the movement arc the National
Travelers’ Protective Association, the
Arkansaw Travelers, the Missouri
Drummers, the United Commercial
Travelers of Arkansas, the Egyptian
Hustlers, the Arkansas division of the
T. P. A., and the Missouri Drummers’
Association.
They Took the Amateur In.
St. Louis—John Brown, a negro
amateur detective, who came here
from Morrilton, Ark., was arrested as
a suspect by detectives. He has been
; employed at the Arlington hotel. He
had a detective's badge and alleged
' credentials as a member of the West
ern Detective Agency of Des Moines,
I Manchester. — Manufacturers and

THE WHITE RIVER COUNTRY.
In the opinion of one who has trav
?led much anil observed closely, the
most truly and rightfully contented
people in the United Slates to-day are
the small landowners in what is
known as the Upper White River Coun
try, anywhere from Newport, Ark., to
Carthage, Mo. They are contented be
cause their surroundings are ideal and,
until recently, the great, uneasy, dis
quieting world, with its artificial needs
and inadequate compensations, has
been to them but little more tangible
than a dream. Here, still existent,
and by reason of their very rarity at
this day and time more delectable
than in the past, are the conditions
which have ever appealed with irre
sistible force to the independent-spir
ited Anglo-Saxon. Every man is the
supreme ruler of his own little prin
cipality; acknowledging no master
save the law—and possibly his fem
inine helpmeet; cringing to no em
ployer; asking no favors from the
world, save those that his neighbors
freely extend and expect as freely in
return. He lives in a latitude where
the extremes of heat or cold are never
known, and at an altitude that insures
perfect health. The richest, bounty j
of Nature has been showered upon
him with unsparing hand, but it is a
question whether he more than dimly
realizes the fact.. He accepts as a mat- 1
ter of course the fertile soil which :
produces in abundance every cultiv- j
able growth common to the north
temperate zone, the surrounding for
ests of valuable woods and the under
lying stratas of precious minerals, the
springs and streams of translucent
purity on every hand, the wealth of
fish and game at his very door, such as :
less favored mortals annually travel '
hundreds of miles to find. He is con
tented. but small credit is his for that,
for how could he well be otherwise
than content? It is sad that such !
idealistic conditions may not con- 1
tinue, but it. is written that the pres- '
ent possessors of this favored land
must soon give place to others more
appreciative of its incomparable fea
tures. A railroad has recently cut its
way through the best of this region,
and the unaccustomed rustle of bank
notes and chink of coin will eventually
tempt the hill-dweller to part with his
birthright. So it has always been in
the world's history—the good things
that are ours without price invariably'
pass from our hands before we come
(o understand their value. The 'White
River country will shortly be discov
ered anew by a class of immigrants
better capable of judging its possibil
ities—the men who seek modest
homes where the “lay of the land”
will effectually prevent crowding by
too close neighbors, where their cat
tle can fatt on on free range, where
the wealth of forest and mine awaits
development by intelligent workers,
and where the game and fish offer en
joyable recreation to all who have
leisure and inclination for sport.
Strange Story—But True. .
F. L. Yandegrift has a new story.
It is illustrative of the marvelous fe
cundity of the English sparrow.
“I was pending Sunday with the
Dumont Smiths, at Kinsley," said
Van, in recounting his experience.
We had been up late the night be
fore aud ! was a trifle drowsy. I sat
aut on the front porch listening to the
church hells and gazing off into the
illimitable space that lies between
a shortgrass town and the horizon
beyond.
"Presently I dropped my hat into
a bed of Virginia creeper and dozed
off to sleep. 1 could not. have slept
more than an hour, for the children
were passing the house on the way
from Sunday school when I awoke.
1 rubbed my eyes and glanced over
at nay hat. In it rg|f an English spar
row brooding a setting of eggs. While
1 slept the sparows had built a nest I
in my hat, the mother bird had laid
a full complement of eggs and had be
»un the work of hatching them. —

ERRORS ABOUT THE WHITE
HOUSE.
To ttie Editor:
1 noticed somewhere recently—I
would not say positively that it was in
your columns—-an article on the White
House which contained several mis
statements.
In the first place it was stated the
White House was first occupied in
1809 and that its first occupant was
President Madison. The fact is, its
first occupant was President Adams,
who took up his residence there in
1800.
The original mansion was begun in
179:.’. In 1814 it was burned by the
British and rebuilt in 1818.
Another of tlie errors in (he article
referred to was the statement that
ready-prepared paint is used on the j
White House to make it beautifully
white.
I noticed this especially because I
have used considerable paint myself
and wondered that ‘'canned” paint j
should be used on such an important I
building when all painters know that
pure white lead and linseed oil make
the best paint.
It so happened also that I knew
white lead and linseed oil—not ready
mixed paint—were used on the White
House, because I had just read a book
let published by a firm of ready-mixed
paint manufacturers who also manu
facture pure white lead. Tn that hook
the manufacturers admitted that for
the White House nothing but “the
best and purest of paint could he
used.” and said that their pure white
lead had been selected.
Above all people, those who attempt
to write on historical subjects should
give us facts, even if it is only a date
or a statement about wood, or brick,
or paint, or other building material.
Yours for truth,

Cuba Wants Immigrants.
The Cuban congress, at its recent
session, appropriated $1,000,000 to be
used for the purpose of inducing im
migrants to come to Cuba from Eu
rope and the Canary islands. It is
proposed to pay the passage of each
emigrant from his home. The field
hands are to be brought from Sweden,
Norway, Denmark and Italy.
Has Been Buried for Centuries.
The body of a young woman has j
been discovered in the ancient Priddy
lead mines in Somersetshire, Eng
land. some 1G or 17 feet deep in the ;
waterbone slit that lias been accutnu- j
lating since the days before (he Ko- ;

preserved, and remains in the plait
in which it was worked. Beside the
