Silence in P. 0. Scandal.
Washington, July 1.?Following a
long conference between PostmasterGeneral
Payne and the assistant
postmaster- general, it is apparent
that positive orders have been issued
prohibiting employes of the postal
service, from the highest official to
the humblest mail corrier, from discussing,
for publication of confidentially,
any phase of the postal service
scandals, past, present or future.
The order was so positive in character
and the punishment held out
as the consequence of a breach of
instructions was eo severe that there
was considarable difficulty in even
confirming the facts with regard to
the conference itself. This was finally
secured, however, with the intimation
that the order of "silence"
had originated with President Roosevelt.
It is known that the postmaster
general and his four assistant postmaster
generals were not of one mind
with regard to the necessity for such
an order. First Assistant Postmaster
General Wynne believed in a
reasonable smount of publicity, and
it is understood that he was frank
enough to say so. Second Assistant
Postmaster General Shallenberger is
said to have agreed with him. Postmaster
General Payne, Third Assistant
Madden and Fourth Assist anat
Bristow indorsed the idea of silence.
It is understood, however, that the
order for "silence" would have gone
into effect had the four assistant
pastmaBter generals opposed it as a
unit. Postmaster General Payne is
the head of the post office department
and President Roosevelt is exercising
a general, but careful supervision
over the direction of the
present inquiry.
Very Remarkable Care of Diarrhoea.
"About six years ago for the first
time in my life I had a sudden and
severe attaok of diarrhoea," says Mrs.
Alice Miller, of Morgan, Texas. "I
got temporary relief, but it came back
and onoin and fnr di't
auu c&gatu) nuv? AV& H?A ?
years I have suffered more misery
and agony than I can tell. It was
worse than death. My husband spent
hundreds of dollars for physicians
prescriptions and treatment without
avail. Finally we moved to Bosque
county, our present home, and one
day I happened to see an advertisement
of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy with a testimonial
of a man who had been cured
by it. The case was so similar to
my own that I concluded to try the
remedy. The result was wonderful.
I could hardly realize that I was well
again, or believe it could be after having
suffered so long, but that one

Sands Needed on Farms.
Farmers in many sections of the
country are beginning to face the
usual serious proposition of a scarcity
of help in cultivating and harvesting
of their crops. Notwithstanding advertisements
are run in the city
papers daily asking for hired help,
the demand is twice the supply.
Men who are idle in the city seem to
have no desire to go to the farm for
work, regardless of the fact that a
good home, plenty to eat and reasonable
pay awaits them. And a majority
of the people lose sight of the
principal reason for this state of
affairs. The fault to a great extent
lies with the young farmers themselves.
As a rule as soon as they
attain their majority the first thing
* j l a i.1 _!i!
tney tmcx oi is 10 rusn w me ciuee,
where, in the minds of many of them,
money is plentiful and a gay life
awaits them. This reduces the force
on the farms and in itself prevents
young men from the overcrowded
cities seeking homes in the country.
It is hardly to be expected tbat men
from the cities will take kindly to
farm life when young men who have
been reared as farmers rush off to
the cities. The remedy lies with us.
Let us make our home life desirable
to our young men. Encourage them
in their work and offer them every
inducement possil le. The labor of
son is far more profitable to the
sire than the labor of inexperienced
men from a city. And our youDg
men have a better opportunity of
making a name by remaining at home
and using industry and thrift than
they have in rushing off to the city
and becoming a nontity in a place
where there are ten men for every
opening. The farm is the best place
after all.
The Foundation of Health.
Nourishment is the foundation of
health, life and strength. Kodol Dyspepsia
Cure is the one great medicine
fc.at enables the stomacti ana digestive
organs to digest, assimilate and
transform all foods into all kind of
blood that nourishes the nerves and
feeds the tissues. Kodol lays the
foundation for health. Nature does
the rest. Indigestion, dyspepsia and
all disorders of the stomach and digestive
organs are cured by the use
of Kodol. Sold by all Druggists.
2?ills Shut Down.
Fall River, Mass., June 30 ?Eleven
cotton manufacturing corporations
have joined in a movement to curtail
the production of the mills. Lick of
staple is the cause. Two of the large
corporations have given notice that
their mills will be closed at least one
half the time between now and Sep
tember. After that time the running
of machinery will depend on the price
of cotton.

Preaching on Lynching.
[ Chicago Minister Says Crime of the
Victim Fits the Punishment.
Chicago, Jane 29 ?"I am no advocate
of lynching or of mob law, but
! I would rather see a community
wrought to the highest pitch over
! crimes that would seem impossible
this side of hell than to remain apathetic/'
was the declaration of the
RrV. Dr. W. A. Bartlett at the First
Congregational church yesterday in
a prelude on '-Lvnehing from another
point of view."
Dr. Barlette said amoDg other
things: '*1 have seen so msnv sermons,
editorials and resolutions denouncing
lynching and mob law that
one gets the impression that the
citizens who hang or burn the destroyer
of life, home and all that is
held sacred by womanhood, are the
real on^nders rather than the monster
whom they destroy.
/ "We seem to be so absorbed with
the majesty of this vague term 'iaw'
that the notion appears to prevail
that the real criminals are those who
do not wait for legal processes, and
the violator of womanhood is the
abused party.
"We shudder at the torture of the
criminal who is burned but apparently
forget to shudder for the innocent
girl, whose mental and spiritual agony
is ten-fold greater than that of
the fire. This is not a race problem
except so far as one race are the
offenders. The white man who commits
the same crime is just as guilty.
"The indignant uprising of a commnnifrt
a n ri cnma rcf fVio 1->aaf man in
L?A \AULLVJ y C41UV4 Ui IUU )/gOV i-U t/JLi ili
it to avenge a wrong of such awful
magnitude may be technicall lawless,
but the spirit which causes th6 uprising
is the reflection of a higher
civilization.
"There are crimes so dreadful that
the pure and the chivalrous and the
Btrong And is well nigh impossible to
endure the thought that such a
degenerate should pollute the earth
by its presence. It is easy to theorize
about the anarchy of mob law,
but the same hand which penned the
calm editorial might be the first to
grasp the torch if it was a mother,
wife, or daughter who was the victim.
"I say when you look at a lynching
from another point it is simply
the bursting forth of an indignation
and loathing that will not be cheeked.
In the Old Testament days they
made short work of such an offender.
"Lynching is certainly a bad method
and forms the habit of disorder
and makes men bloodthirsty. But
if it is to be avoided there certainly
is called for a more sure and speedy
trial of these wretches who often
brazenly deny crime amid red tape of
legal processes but confess abjectly
when confronted by determined men.
"It is useless to bring to trial good
men who rise up to protect their
firesides. The community will not
bear it.. If men object to being
burned let them cease from crimes
which make a nation sick.
Night Was Her Terror.
"I would cough nearly all night
long," writes Mrs. Chas. Applegate,
of Alexandria, Ind., "and could hardlj
get any sleep. I had consumption
so bad that if I walked a block 1

This means $40 in cash to the student,

A Spiritual Later.
Suffering is as truly a function of
1 the complete human life as joy or
love is. It is a sort of spiritual
labor. This is to say that it is in the
nature of the universe, in the nature
of God. We may reverently say
that he suffers in and with his chil
dree, as surely as he loves them. To
i recognize this fact, is to take all the
sting and bitterness out of pain.
