The Largest and Most Enthu siastic Gathering Ever Held in This ' City. Wednesday night was a Republican night in the city of Cape Girardeau. It was a gathering of the hosts to hear Col. Richard Dalton speak. Long bo fore the distinguished orator arrived the big court room wa packed with people ladies and gentlemen eager to hearthereforined Democratic speak er. The house was not one-third large enough to accommodate the people who wanted to hear Col. Dalton and, anticipating this, the Republican Club had arranged for an overflow meeting. The band stand in the city park bad been fitted up and seats provided for the jn-ople who could not get into the court house so that they might hear other speakers. After the court house was Tilled till standing room was at a premium Col. Dalton was introduced by Rudolph Rahn. The speaker, as he took the stand, was greeted by a tremendous applause. Col. Dalton began his speech in a valm, low and soft tone of voice, but his appearance from the rostrum was enough for the audience to understand that they were facing a man who had the ability to entertain them, and in this they were not disappointed. Col. Dalton devoted his time to a discussion of State politics. Ho re viewed the working of the Democratic party in this State from the time it came into power up to the present day, and explained in language that would be understood by everybody, the out rages that have been perpetrated upon Ihe citizens of Missouri by one Demo cratic administration after another. The method by which the school fund was looted was shown up by the speak er in a manner so plain that the poor school child who has been robbed of its means to procure an education could understand. While Col. Dalton was speaking in the court house four or five hundred peopl, who could not got into the house, .were listening to speeches from the band stand in the park. Those who talked from the band stand were Joe Caldwell, candidate for State Sen ator; Hob Sawyer, candidate for pros ecuting attorney; E. W. Flontge, can didate for collector, and Charley Daues. In the court house before and after the speaking the audience was highly entertained by the Jackson Glee Club. What Causes Grey Hair? "Grey hair is so common now," said a barber the other day, "that one wonders what it comes srom. Young men have it in profusion, and young women are very proud when the have a coiffure in which grey has a promi nent part. I attribute- the prevalence of gray hair to frequent cutting and soap. The doctors speak of inherent tendencies, and old women gabble of early piety, but soap and the barber do more towards taking color and strength out of huir than anything else does. The singeing of hair is done to prevent the oils from exuding from the .ends of clipped hairs, and singeing in this regard Is better than cutting. But ammonia-loaded soaps are the worst factors. Many persons use ammonia when washing their heacs, and it enters into all shampoo mixtures. It is also an ingredient oi most soaps. It dries up the scalp and robs the hair of all its moisture. That is where most of the grey hair of to day comes from." See the new live dollar kodaks at I. Ben Miller's. Eastman's Kodaks at I. Ben Mil er's.

If the boys are "boys in brown," they are supposed to be Filipino warriors; if in blue, they are regulars. It is the easiest thing in the world to organize a campaign regiment, and just at this time of the year the more the merrier provided they are on the night side. ARNOLD FRENZEL HURT. He Was at the Top of a Telephone Pole When the Pole Fell With Hint. Arnold Frenzel, while working at the top of a telephone pole near the Planters' Mills this Thursday morn ing met with an accident that may prove fatal. The pole fell with the young man clinging to it. He waf at a hight of about twenty-five or thirty feet from the ground when the polo toppled over. Arnold managed to keep on the top side of the pole and thus saved himself from being crushed to death instantly. Ho was carried into I. Ben Miller's drug store and Drs. Cunningham and Rider examin ed him. Dr. Rider says they could find no bones broken and as yet it is impossible to tell how badly the young man is hurt. His injuries are internal Oora Paul May Lecture Here. Citizens of the United States may have the pleasure during the coming winter of attending a series of lectures at which President Krueger of the South African Republic will lie the lecturer, if the predictions of Colonel Arthur Lynch, the famous author and war correspondent, come true. "I hope and expect that President Krueger will come to America, " said Colonel Lynch, "and I believe that bis presence in America will make a very great impression on the Ameri can public. They will sec that this old leader of South Africa, so much scoffed at and maligned, is not only one of the grandest figures of our time, but also one of the most advanc- in history. I believe that he has just the quali ties to appeal to the American public simplicity of nature and strength of mind combined with great and inflex ible purpose. 'A lies zal regt komen' (all shall come right). That was for many years Paul Kruger's favorite motto, quoted in season and out of season to all. If be was criticised he used it as an ex cuse; if he wanted to con fort his peo ple it was his stand-by. For many years his self-chosen mot to was justified in so far as he person ally was concerned, but there has come a day of reconing when the old sententious phrase is applicable no longer. To a great extent the Transvaal was was Paul Kruger, and Paul Kruger was the Transvaal. His life story was so intimately bound up with the history of the South African Republic, that to tell the tale of the one is to u-11 that of the other."

Borden, the head of the largest cotton manufacturing busi ness In the world, has again proved himself the friend of labor. By purchasing 500,000 pieces of cotton goods at 2 7-8 cents he has foiled a con spiracy to reduce wages, averted a strike and saved an entire community from undeserved disaster. This is not the first time that "the Calico King" has appeared as the champion of the tollers against his fejlow-manufacturers. In 1S91 he cleared out a glutted mar ket and saved 60,000 mill hands from idleness and' famine by buying 850,000 pieces of cotton goods. In February, 1897, he repeated the op eration. This time he took the entire stock held by the Fall River mills 750,000 piects and paid 11,000,000 for it. The effect on the market was an active demand at advanced prices. What ap pealed most to Mr. Burden was the ef fect on labor 3,500,000 spindles working full time Instead of half time. In November, 1899, Mr. Borden again startled New England by compelling his fellow-manufacturers to advance wages 10 per cent. He had tried his usual remedy of buying a large block of goods, but his rivals had balked him by delaying the completion of the deal. Determined that the army of wage earners should suffer no longer, and that all talk of a strike should cease, be voluntarily granted the advance of 10 per cent, to the ,000 hands employed In his own enterprises the Fall River Iron Works and Cotton Mills, and the American Print Company's works. Only a month passed before the other manufacturers of cotton goods, much to their disgust, were compelled to fol low suit. Fall River alone gained 125,000 a week In wages by Mr. Borden's action, and throughout New England not less than 100,000 operatives were made prosperous and happy. AVERTED A STRIKE. And now. In 1900, "the Calico King" has won another victory for labor. Again the cotton goods market was in a perilous condition. Again the mill owners were threatening to cut wages, and the hands were preparing to strike. New Kngland seemed on the eve of an Industrial cataclysm. Mr. Borneo's purcnuse or w.wi pieces of cotton goods at a total price of JTJ0.000 relieves the mills of over produced goods and stimulates the mo ribund market Into activity. Whoa questioned by a reporter of his newspaper in reference to his re. cent big purchase. Mr. Borden replied: I want to keep my people emp'.oyrd. My whole record Is evidence "f that. and it is gratifying Indeed if h trnn sattion will have that result. But it's a business venture. I may not mak-. a dollar, and I may have to accept a loss.. Of course J0.000 pieces per ww-k are not sufficient to prevent overproduc tion permanently. I must market th' so goods sooner or later. Fall River pro duces about 250,000 pieces of cotton goods of all kinds weekly, so you see I am only taking two weeks' output. In distributing It over twenty-flve wivks. however, I have hoped to take up most of the overplus. 'Our mills are going at present, and I hope we shall be able to continue." With which modest words the "Cal ico King" dismissed the subject of his immense boon to labor. For Sale.
