Secretary Promote the improved park vs- tem. Here's to the Diamond Jo line: All's well that ends well. Those Macedonian brigands have been getting too much ransom and not enough buck-shot. The bakers of Denver nre striking for thirty minutes for lunch time. Certainly it is not a question of need dough with them. The New- York man. aped TO. and the woman, aged 00. who quarreled 4.j years ago and have just made up and married, give new proof that though the course of true love does not alvvavs run smooth, it runs Ion;;. The Chicago IJecord-IIerald. repub lican, compliments John J.. Pickering and advocates his election as follows: "There was a ripple of interest when the name of John I. Pickering was mentioned, and his nomination for supreme court clerk was popular especially with the country delegates. It may be said also that he is a thor oughly respectable candidate, and deserves to le supported against Chris Mamer." T1A- supreme court has decided that shade trees in front of a man's residence, although hx-ated on public property, belong to him. says the La .Harper. The case in which the de cision wa rendered was on in which a property owner sued a telephone company for cutting off the limbs of his trees. The decision is of interest to all property holders, and corpora tions whose wires are fast lecoming an insufferable nuisance should take notice. Altoilt 7.1.00O.0OO acres of arid land are to le reclaimed and made to blossom as the rose under the pro vision of the recently enacted irriga tion bill. The job will cost from $. to $U) per aeie, which, according to the eagr advocates of the measure, will be paid by settlers, not by the government. Since the land to be ir rigated will Itelong chiefly to land grant roads', it is not easy at first fright to discern where the settler comes in as a reimbursing agent. The democrats of Illinois definitely declared for A thorough revision of the tariff and the abolition of all special privileges, and that every product of a tariff-protected, competition-destroying trust be placed on the free list. This is the great is sue before the country. The party takes its stand upon historic, demo--cratic and fundamental doctrine. This issue merits the consideration of every business man, every labor ing man and every fair-minded man. The three territories, Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma, the admission of which as states has been approved by the house of represenait ves. are in a group, but are not in political harmony with the states of the same region, notably Texas. Oklahoma has been largely settled by emigrants from the upper west, Arizona by people from the east, and New Mex ico by Mexicans. In politics Okla homa and Xew Mexico have generally been republican, and Arizona usuallv democratic. The Settlement of the Henry County Contest. Next Monday occurs the senatorial convention of the 37th senatorial district, composed of Henry, Hureau and Stark counties. At that time at (ialva will, it is believed, be flecided the contention between the various candidates in the three counties and the Kevvanee controversy 'may pos sibly be laid away. There nre many candidates. He sides the two candidates from Henry count v Messrs. l.lish and Andrews there are three candidates from Hureau county and one from Stark Those from Hureau are Thomas Jones, of Ladd; 'A. C. Hills, a lawyer of Princeton, and a young attorney by the name of Woolley, who resides at Walnut. John P. Code, a citizen of Hradford, has the Stark county delegation instructed for him. Hu reau county Is hopelessly divided as to three candidates, while some of the delegates- from that county are saiil to favor Code. However, they are instructed to vote for a Hureau count v man, which instruction may bind them for a time. Hut there is a dark horse in Hureau county who has many friends that are now attempting to get him to allow the use of his name as a can didate. This is Frank Morrisev, who dwells on a farm near Sheffield. He is said to be a strong young man popular and a personal friend of William J. Hryan. It has been a long and interesting contest in Henry county, and the cud thereof is looked forward to with no little interest. Ihe Vicious Fee System. The Springfield Kegisfer has the following timely editorial apropos of the assembling of the Illinois States Attorneys association at the capital citv: "Prosecuting attorneys from many parts of Illinois are now in Spring held attending the sixth annual con vention of the State's Attorneys as sociation of Illinois. This is a con vention which should prove profita ble to all of its participants. The exchange of ideas, the addresses made liv able attorneys and the bus iness sessions should prove lieneficial to those who interest themselves and who are in the convention for the goinl that mav result. "Much depends upon the state's at torneys f Illinois. The otlice of state's attorney is an otlice which lears with it great responsibility. It requires brains, tact, good judgment. a perfect knowledge of the law. and a proportionate amount of honor for a man to fill that otlice as it should be filled. Now this convention in session in ' Springfield should and lotibtless will remedy many wrongs which are revealed in prosecutors' realms. Perhaps none of those evils lemands more attention than the vicious fee system. The fee system should be condemned by the state's attorneys here in convention. 1 hey should lift their voices and exert their energies against the fee sys tem and help to stamp it out. No men know better the wrongs of the fee system than the state's attor neys. Thev know what corruption and what prostitution of the people's interests the feci system leads to. Wlost. of the state's attorneys doubtless condemn the fee system individually, but the united condem nation bv this convention would ef fect much gooil where individual an tagonism to that system is futile. "The fee system leads to a perver- . . . . 1 . Y . sion or tne iwwer or. ine ia. n leads from one wrong into another and encourages rather than discour ages law breaking. It leads to bar ter in vice and non-observance of the law, and instead of elevating the morals of the state, corrupts them." The Field of Literature. The complete novel of the July I.ippineott's Magazine is baptized for the season, "On the Itoad to A ready. The name makes visions of rustic loves and the tale realizes them. It is by Malel Nelson Thurston, who knows the hearts of the people and speaks their sentiments. She has leen to an Arcady of her iwn and brings back this report full of flow ers and sunshine and quiet hhmor and wooing and . finally of winning. It all happens near Washington, and one of the most idyllic episodes is at Mount Vernon. The tale, belongs to the vine-covered porch or the back woods retreat, but it would harmon ize as well with the tumbling surf. The Pilgrim for July comes in a strikingly brilliant cover appropriate to the month. The contents embrace articles at once varied and unusually interesting. The editor. Willis J. Vbbot, writes trenchantly of the events in the. world's history, which are engaging general attention. In an elalorately illustrated article en titled. "A Kevolutionary Battle round. Clifton Johnson describes picturesquely Crown Point andTicon- leroga as these historic sMts a p- ear today to the patriotic American. n article certain to arouse interst is. I tie Mrike of tne Antnracite Miners." by Her. John McDowell, who, though now the pastor of a city church, was, not many years ago, a breaker boy and miner in the great anthracite coal fields of Pennsyl vania. He writes of the miners strike with all the feeling of a par ticipant, but with the reserve of a trained sociologist and' student of economics. It is strikingly illus trated from photographs taken on the spot. Another illustrated article of marked timeliness is "America's Seashore Playgrounds. bv John Willis. In fiction is published a fur ther installment of Harriet Preseott Spofford's brilliant social romance "A Flash of Lightning." loo, there is published . the first part of a two; installment story by Frank Norris, entitled, "The Guest of Honor," one of the strongest and tensest two part- stories of the year. The short story of the number is "Alderman Kris lev's Defeat," by Klliott Flower, au thor of "Policeman Flynii." In a generously illustrated paper on "Stringtovvn on the Pike," Landon knight continues Ins ingenious "novel articles," in which he discov ers the origins in locality and char acter of the novels of the year. A page of illustrations gives glimpses of the home and haunts of, perhaps, America's most American novelist. James Fennimore Cooer. An article of curious interest is "The Furniture Town in Fair Time," bv Milton Marks, illustrated by Covey, in which the writer tells uf the greatest fur niture city in the world during a con vention when conoisseurs come from all over the world to insect designs. A timely illustrated article by Ken neth Herford. entitled, "How Kng land Celebrates the Fourth." gives a picturesque account of the Henley Kegatta. In the July number two il lustrated pages are devoted to the newest fashions and all the depart ments are maintained at the 'usual high standard. COOTY TEMPLE Transfer. .June 25. K. V.

One im.rr.Iug I was sent to In terview n United States -senator. lie was very kind t me, and during my call It crime out that we were gradu ates from the same college. He asked me if I had been a good student. Blushing to the roots of my hair, 1 con fessed that I liiid been a very poor stu dent. "Don't break your heart over it," he paid sympathetically. "The best schol ars don't always turn out the best men." Then after pledging me to se crecy, so far as using the real names was concerned, he told me the follow lug story lu our class there was a mau, Clar ence Emmons, who led it from start to finish. He had the most astonishing mind for absorbing, knowledge I ever came in contact with. His recitations weres'mply pot fi c(. Often the profess ors used to start him at different points In the day'n lesson In order to. show him off. I was a graceless scamp I ani sorry to tidtu't, whose only strong point was in maUiug out Instructors think I know more than I did. It turned out, however, that I didn't fool them very much, for when Ave were graduated 1 stood at the foot of the class, Kmuions standing first. 1 diil not meet Emmons for Ave years after leaving college. I had gene into Journalism and w::.t doing the work you nre doing v.ow. Huimons was teaching scbo-jl. Neither had advanced beyond tho ordinary r.neT, so far as I was considered, had not given any promise. I still kjolud up to him, how ever, and, remembering that some of our greatest men bail put ' a fnv years vt early life t teaching, fully exacted that he would make. his mark. "When ten years bad rolled round. I was part owner of a small country pa per, and, an important election coming on, Ave happened to support the right man. After his election hi' came to the ollice, acknowledged his indebtedness and abUcd what he could do for us. My partner w:s unambitious si ml referred him to me.

I could talk glibly, aud, no matter what Issue I touched, be it silver, tariff re form, civil service, I had ihe faculty of making my hearers believe that 1 knew all about-it and was dead right every time. I w:;s elected and re-elected for two additional terms. When I made my speech on the tariff that pro duccil such a sensation, . fcr the lir: t time, in my life I had collected souie facts, but 1 pledge you my word. 1 didn't know and don't know now which is the true theory, tariff or free trade'. "While I was talking I saw Eui moiis in the gallery following 'me with abstj-bing interest. After the speech ho :ent his card to me1, and I went out and met him. "What are you doing, Emmons?"' 1 asked. "Ti aching," he replied. Meanwhile 1 had become convinced that) if I were slow in absorbing knowl edge 1 could make more than mott men out of what I elid absorb. As I grew older I accustomed myself to loot; wiser, and whenever approached by men upon different subjects I looked wise iu proportion to my ignorance. Hut when I knew the subject well I invariably pleaded ignorance and be'gged to be enlightened. In this way I gained in respect and Haltered those with whom I came in contact. Well, the next step for a representa tive Is to be senator. 1 didn't begin my senatorial contest by obliging peo ple. I had got beyond that. I let them understand that they were to oblige me and the other part of it might come later. In this way I forced my election. Hccently, jou will remember, my name was mentioned for the most Important Itortfolfo in the cabinet. A few days later my old classmate Clarene-e Em mons called on mi;. "I bear you are to become one of the president's advisers," he said mourn fully. "It Isn't so, Emmons." I said eon 11 denlially. "You will remember that in e-olle-ge 1 had or.e faculty." "Yes: you could make more out of nothing than any man i:i the class." "1 tight. I've kept on learning how to do that. I'm working my infinitesi mal qualities to be the president him self." "I lelieve you'll succeed." "What are you doing, Emmons V" "Teaching." "Doing wellV" T can't get my income above a thou sand a" year. Can't you elo something for me here?" "I shall ne'd all the offices at my dis posal for substantial purposes, but 1 -.d a secretary. Would you take the position?" "At how much salary?" Leave that to me.

Moore, Editor of the Advocate-Democrat of Crawfordsville, Ga., writes the Peruna Medicine Company as follows : Genttement,After four years of Intense suffering, caused by systemic catarrh, which I contracted while editing, and traveling for my paper, I have been greatly relieved by the use of Peruna. I gave up work during these years of torture, tried various remedies and many doctors, but all the permanent relief came from the use of Peruna. My trouble was called indigestion, but it was catarrh all through my system, and a few bottles of Peruna made me feel like another person, noting ihe improvement after I had used the first bottle. Peruna Is undoubtedly the best catarrh remedy ever compounded. CLEM Q. MOORE. Judge Wm. T. Zenor, of Washington, D. C, writes from 213 X. Capital Street, "Washington, D. C. : "I take pleasure in saying that I can cheerfully recommend tho use of Peruna as a remedy for catarrhal trouble and a most excellent tonic for general condi tions." Vm. T. Zenor. Mrs. Amanda Morrill, 13G Reid street, Elizabeth, X. J., writes : "I have been sick over two years with nervous prostration and general debility, and heart trouble Have had four doc tors; all said that I could not get well. I had not walked a step in nine months, suffering with partial paralysis and palpitation of the heart every other day, and had become so reduced In flesh as to be a mere skeleton weigh ing only 85 pounds. Up to this date I have taken Peruna for seven months. It has saved my life SPECIAL -20 Pairs Men's Shoes Ouly per pair at Out Slioe Sale CENTRAL 6IIOE STORE. New Panitorivim Club's Shine 5c.

Peruna is the most prompt and permanent cure for all cases of nervous prostration caused by systemic catarrh known to the medical profession.
