They have the pictures of battleships, sunk thousands of miles away while the ships are still sinking, and street scenes in any part of the world before the incident to be illus trated is all off the wire. One street scene from one Chinese town will an swer nicely for any street scene in any Chinese town, the more purticularly as the most of the readers will never be able to make personal comparisons, and the scene might change before their ar rival, and one battleship of a certain weight looks a great deal like another battleship. Recently one of the "great" papers had as a Sunday feature the pictures of the Igorrotes who went to visit the president. The readers may have marveled thereat, but the only wonder is that the "enterprising" paper did not have the pictures sooner, as they were taken from a war department publication, dealing with the Philippine exhibit at St. Louis and may have noth ing whatever to do with the delegation. The Press acknowledges the cargo of "burning coals" ignited by the tren chant pen of Bro. Dodd, of the Pendle ton Tribune, but we will state that as yet there are no blisters on our scalp. Mr. Dodd's article in question was a sort of "yes, it is; no, it ain't" effusion, giving one the idea that it was on a still hunt for something it couldn't find. Indeed, it is a great misfortune when a man is unable to think, but surely it is infinitely worse when a man is dimly conscious that he is thinking and can not for' the life of him say what it is about. The people's party declares that aliens should not be allowed to own the land. But the mombers of that party might reflect that a great many aliens are citizens as to all their local duties, and to all intents and purposes, before they are able to vote. The laws as they ex ist have proved to be very satisfactory. The secretary of finance in Bandit Ruisuli's cabinet has demanded that France cease to interfere with the cus toms of Morocco. The customs of the people of that country are almost their solo mentis of support, when kidnaping is considered one of the chief character istics. Next time some large nation desires to whip a small one the matter should be submitted to a vote in which the private soldiers will be allowed to par ticipate. Photographs showing large nations whipping smaller ones should also be placed in the educational ex hibits. Editor Rinehart, the psalmist of the Bilver cause, declares that "Bryan is the moBt finished product of the infinite." That is better than being the most infi nite product ot the finished, and Bryan has been mentioned in both connections, according to the love or hate of the com men tutor. The man who would declare that the national senate should be abolished would not be considered wise, but not nearly all the people would question his patriotism and his devotion to respect able rule. The people who assume to quote "Liucolu's views on the tariff" should bear in mind that Lincoln never had a view of a tariff like this, not even in his most distressful dreams. i The New York Sun calls the St. uouis convention "a lewd and obscene mob." The Sun has reached the determination not to shine for territory west of the Mississippi In forming its solar tya tern the western stars and planets are barred. What if Japan should arrive at the conclusion that it has as good a right in Thibet as has England, then what? Would not the English be inclined to concede the point, in view of recent de velopments f If Elihu Root does not appreciate men who have reached the age attained by Henry G. Davis, he need not live so Davis did not start in with any intention of doing up the life insurance com panies. The republicans hope that they will have better success in their efforts to push the democrats into the sea than has rewarded the labor of the Russians directed to giving the pigmies of Japan a salt water bath. A.Phillips, of Weston, has a good assortment of Milburn halt trucks with Sarvin wheels. The three-inch will run as easy as an ordinary hack and is near ly dust proof.

When the quantity of food taken is too large or the quality too rich, sour stomach is likely to follow, and especial ly so if the digestion has been weakened by constipation.

TIEDEMAN, Proprietor Pi SIR Buck's Blast We have just receivid our large Fall stock of these heaters and we now have them on the floor. We could use a whole page of this newspaper in which to tell you of the many good qualities of this heater. Brief ly we will say that the Buck Hot Blast represents posi tively the very name of perfection. It is . the heater we would sell you rather than any other, on account of its admitted superiority over all others, and on account of the friend making qualities. Here is the heater that has entirely passed the experi mental stage; a heater that will burn any kind of fuel with equal facility; a heater that will burn, most satisfac torily, the cheapest kind of soft coal or alack, and reduce it to fine, white ash; a heater that will do the same work for eight hours that the average stove will do in two or three hours. The principle is so entirely different the fiire keeping qualities are so much superior to any other heater made that you cannot really afford to use any other. ' Every Dit of gas is burned, as well as the coal itself, and as soft coal is principally gas, you can readily see this immense advantage. You get. a steady, even heat all night long by using soft coal the same as if you used hard coal. It will hold fire 24 hours, easy; it will actually save the cost of the heater in two or three seasons, and is the best and cheapest heater you can' buy. Come , and see them whether you wish to buy or not. Next Door, to the Post Office THE DAVIS-KASER CO. Everything to Furnish the Home.
