There Is no more' promising field for American capital than Manchuria. It Is a prolific country of wonderful re sources and should be clvlllcd prin cipally by Americans, and American arts. MANCHURIA, BONE OF TION. CONTEN- The eyes of the world nro now turn ed upon that far away bone of con tention, over which the European and Asiatic powers are growling Man churia. Americans look lightly upon this country, for tho reason that It Is so far distant and comparatively un known. They do not understand tho possibilities of trade that He locked up in this vast region, nor the Im portance of having the United States government gain n permanent com mercial foothold there;. Manchuria Is the northeasterly province of the Chlneso Empire. It Is a vast plateau, inclosed by a range of mountains, 10,000 to 12,000 feet high on the north and west. The province is BOO miles wide from east to west and 800 miles from north to south, and comprises about 390,000 square miles. It lies between latl- j tudes -10 and 50, north and ranges in altitude above tho sea level, from 4u0 feet in the south, to 3,000 In the great northern plains. The climate resembles that of tho . northwestern portion of tho United States, in general, tho temperature ranging from 90 degrees above In summer, to 10 degrees below zero in winter. For three months tho great rivers of the north nro closed to nav igation, on account of Ice. The western border of the country Is formed by tho Khln-Oau mountains, a magnificent range, whose summits, averaging 8,000 to 12,000 feet high, are perpetually covered with snow. Tho northern boundary is formed by the Amoor river, one of the five great river systems of China. It Hows northeast Into tho Okhotsk sea. Si beria encircles tho province on the north and east and Corea shuts It oft from tho sea const on the south, so the only place It touches tldo water Is at tho northwest corner, whoro the Corean Bay, an arm of the Yellow Sea, pushes far Inland, Manchuria Is a great oblong basin through the center of which flows the Inungarln river, a fnpilnr nt tin. a,,. S. . . "" -'""" .mm river drains trie basin complete "!y, 'as the Mississippi does the gieat American basin, and forms tho nrln .'lpal highway for native traillc and travel. nnroin, on the Chinese Kastem railway, is the Inland metropolis .and Nluu Chwnng. near the Corean Hay Is the principal sea port. I no Chinese Eastern railway enters 'Ma..a1....I ... . iii-i. vuia in mo normwest corner -mid traverses tho entire width of the province In n southeasterly direction to Nieu Chwang and Tort Arthur. The country Is well watered, having lour largo river systems the Naur, Sungari and Amoor Mowing northward and easterly and tho Slra Muron How Jiig southward. The country Is adapted to wheat raising am) livestock In tho north. The soil Is alluvial and apparently Inexhaustible. The mountain streams are numerous and swift, and furnish tixcellent opportunities for Irrigation. At "Harbin tho Russians havo two im mense Hour mills and tho native wheat sella for CO kopecks or 30 cents, gold, per bushel, The methods of fanning are an clout and crude.

Tho neeil or agricultural and mill ing machinery la very great. Manchuria Is one of tho oldest set tled sections of country In the world. It has a written history covering 1,200 years, It Is tho home of the ancient Chinese kings, who belonged to the dynasty now In power In China.

There Is no other reason for it. Pendleton gets 25 cents for a breakfast and Washington gets a homcseekcr with $10,000 to Invest. The high school will not be abol ished. Pendleton favors the widest scope for public school education. It is the free, open Institution of the masses and cannot be dispensed with. Tho Academy Is open to all.

I "O God, bo merciful to mo!" But rather yearns to do and die That others may be strong and free, A faith that cannot all be crammed And shaped to fit dogmatic mould, That knows no fear of belnc dammed But shrinks from being hard and cold. That dreads fat- more than wrath to come Tho sense of failure to do well Tho cowardice that makes one dumb 'In presence of a present hell. That dreams far less of pearly gates And golden streets beyond tho skies, Than of the death of human bates, Tho downfall of all earthly lies. Lo, I am in my Father's hand!

A Now York dispatch of May 11 gives the following touching account of a funeral that tookplace In that nltv Xlnnilni" MT.vltif In n rngAwnnil coflln. his head resting on a pillow of Vl'trv,!0 I want no tinner seat above.

Tyras belonged to an actor and char acter Impersonator. The dog, 13 years old, had appeared on tho stage In nearly overy country of tho world. He had been twice around the globe, had played before the Czar of Rus sia, the Empress of China, tho Mikado of Japan and at the time of his death wore a beautiful collar' given him by Cecil Rhodes." It has come to a pass In this country where the fash ionable parasites of the large cities, do' not know how to spend their monoy nor their tlmo, in the absence of an Inclination to engage in a use ful or ennoullng pastime, such dis gusting performances as that describ ed above, are carried out. These 40 automobiles in the parade, loaded down with aristocratic idlers, passed at least a thousand of their fellow citizens who never saw the insldo of a tree illirary, a church nor a public school. As love leads on to service still. My only hell to be untrue. My heaven to simply do God's will. Robert Whltakor, In San Francis co Star.

The citizens of Canton, South Da kota, have held a mass meeting In which they decided to advertise tho place as a desirable one for citizens of other states seeking invoices. Moved by laudable civic pride the Lantnnltes, view with alarm the mon opoly of Sioux Fulls, which town has a divorce business worth $1,000,000 annually, and point with pride to the superior advantages anil resources or Clinton. Ono of these superior facilities is umde known. Newspaper correspond ents are barred from the town. Tho Incipient divorcee who selects Canton for a venu will be rid of that sort of annoying publicity which comes to him at Sioux Falls when ho receives marked copies of tho newspapers of his home city. That is a considerable encourage ment. Tho people of Canton might go fur ther, however, In their solicitations of trade. They mTght descant on Iho fact that tho separate maintenance seeker need not wear a mask in their town. They might provide willing witnesses, certificates of good moral character, guarantee reasonable attor ney fees, quick service, etc. Or they migtit come out strong on climate. Eastern dlvorco seekers feel very keenly tho necessity for a change of climate. Of ono thing those promoters of easy dlvorco should beware They are likely to defeat the exten sion of a promising enterprise by the very publicity or their efforts. The newspaper correspondent Is a migra tory bird. It is all very well tu facilltato busi ness, but the Canton people should lmwaro of a boom. Spokane Press, A Strong Man Is stroutr all over. No man can be sttong who is suffering from indigestion or some other disease of the stomach and its associated organs of digestion and UllllHIU U. 1 Ul when the stomach is diseased there is a loss of the nutri tion contained in food, which is tile source ot all physical strengtn. When a man doesn't feel just right, when he doesn't sleep well, has an uncomfort able feeling in the stomach after eat ing, is languid, nervous and irrita ble, he is losing the nutrition needed to make strength. Such a man needs to use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It cures diseases of the sioniacu ami oiner organs of digestion and nutrition.
