Mn Stock Receipt* at Five Prlnrlpal Mar-

Greater Than 11100.
Washington, June 17. Leading
movements in the domestic commerce
of the United States are now being
made the subject of monthly reports
by the treasury bureau of statistics.
In western territory, live stock and
cereals are leading factors of domestic
trade movements. The live stock re-
ceipts at the five principal markets
of Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St.
Louis and St. Joseph during 1901 show
remarkable gains over last year, both
as regards April and the four months
ending with April, the official receipts
of cattle, hogs und sheep in the four
months just ended showing an in-
crease of 550,117 head, as compared
with the corresponding months of
1900. The rise in the price of corn
is pointed out ns being largely re-
sponsible for this increased movement
of live stock to market, it having be-
come more profitable lo sell corn
at 25 per cent, above last year’s price
than to keep th,c stock on such high-
priced feed.

On the question of sanity, ten of the
jurors voted that she was sane and
two that she was insane. Just be-
fore retiring F’riday night the jury
took a ballot nr. the degree of guilt.
This resulted in ion for second de-

inability to keep his New England

CAILLES TO SURRENDER.
Yon Are Taller In the MornlitK.
The human body, it lins been found,
is shorter at night than in the morn-
ing, due to the weight of the body
compressing the intervertebral cur-
tilages. During sleep, or while In a
recumbent position, tlie pressure be-
ing removed, their natural elasticity
enables them to resume their normal
size, consequently the height of an
individual will vary from three-
eighths to half an inch between morn-
ing and night.
Will Sunn Surims* France.
By the British census just complet-
ed a population of 32.525,716 is returned
in England and Wales. The increase
in ten years is 12.15 per cent., against
31.65 per cent, in the period between
1HH1 and 1891. When Scotland’s popu-
lation is added the total will be within
2,000,000 of that of France, and at the
end of Ihe next ten years there will
probably be more inhabitants in En-
gland, Scotland and Wales than will

FROM EQUATORIAL AFRICA.
Savage* from Ashanti, Dahomey, Senegal,
Oulta uml the Congo Form Strange
Colony at Hiiliulo Exposition,
Buffalo, N. Y., June 17.—There has
arrived here what is perhaps as
strange a crowd as has ever passed
through the hands of the officials of
F’llis island. They are natives from
the heart of equatorial Africa, to peo-
ple the African village, a midway
feature of the Pan-American exposi-
tion. Sixty-two of them arrived on
the French line steamship La Lor-
raine, and about 40 more are expected
by a later vessel, lo complete the
colony. They are drawn from Ashanti
and Dahomey, from the Loango, Ga-
boon und Senegal, from Quitn and the
Congo. They own us chief Lo Oben-
dagn, a proud old negro, who sat
with three of his wives apart from
I lie rest of the group. At home he has
52 more wives awaiting liis return,
for he is head of the Ogowe tribe, a
small but fierce band which has
waged war successfully on weaker
neighbors.
Wholesale Lynching of Negroes In Bossier,
La.. Will Probably Not Occur, Public
Sentiment Opposing.
Shreveport, La., June lo.—The night
passed without the lynching of any
Df the negroes who have been under
irrest in the adjoining parish of Bos-
sier ever since the murder of John
Gray Foster on the F’oster plantation.
Prince Edwards, the negro who shot
Foster, is still in hiding. The strong
stand taken by Gov. Heard in opposi-
tion to any violence, his offer to send
troops and the protest of the F’oster
family against the execution of inno-
i-ent, blacks have apparently had a
^ood effect. The excitement lias di-
minished and planters and business
men generally deprecate a wholesale
lynching or reign of terror for fear
it will have the effect of driving negro
labor away.

seriously wounded. On at least two
occasions efforts were made to lynch
the murderers,but by the prompt ac-
tion of the officers of the law they
were frustrated. On one of these oc-
casions the governor found it neces-
sary to order out three companies of
the state militia.
These five negroes were convicted
of a murder committed under an al-
leged criminal conspiracy by an or-
ganized band of blacks known as
Knights «f the Archer." The motto
of the organization, it is said, was
‘Death to the Whites.” The murder
for which the men died was hut the
culmination of a long series of crimes.
It is common report that the charter
of this oath-bound organization "‘as
signed in blood and the leader, An-
drew McKinney, assembled his band
only at night, when he swore them,
with awesome rites, to secrecy and
to deeds of death and robbery.

tablishment of an Anglo-American

President Monroe'* Oltlctnl Tonr.
It is noted by a magazine that Pres-
ident Alonroe. in his first official year
of 1811, made the longest presidential
trip on record, leaving Washington
on May 31 and returning, after an ab-
sence of 3% months, lie visited only
ten cities in his noted tour. New En-
gland, New York, New Jersey, Penn-
sylvania, Maryland and Ohio com-
prised the territory covered by this
most modest of executive journeying®.
There were only three persons in the
entire party, stages, steamboats and
horses being the conveyances.
The “Black Dmittcr."
British officers in Basutoland believe
1hat a new factor, dangerous to both
Boers and British, must soon be reck-
oned with in South Africa. They re-
l>ort that there are indications of an
uprising of the natives—the “Black
Danger.” which several times has
brought Dutch and British in South
Africa together in resistance of sav-
agery. In South Africa there were at
the beginning of the Boer war 800,000
whites and 3,400,000 natives. The lat-
ter are under leadership of men uot
friendly to either British or Boers.
The Other Knd of Africa.
Lord Cromer, British consul general
of Egypt, reports a surplus for the
year of $2,300,000. and an increase in
ih revenue of $1,250,000. The British
occupation of Egypt dates officially
from 1S82. F’or the next fouy years
there was a total deficit of $13,000,000,
but since 1887 the aggregate surplus
has been the comfortable figure of
$50,000,000. The British can derive
some satisfaction from the northern
end of Africa, where tlieir present
immediate enterprise is the improve-
ment of the Nile,

THE LESSON TEXT.
(Revelation 21:1-7, 22-27.)
1. And 1 saw a new heaven and a new
earth; for ihe first heaven and the first
earth were passed away; and there was
no more sea.
2. And 1 John saw the holy city, new
Jerusalem, coming down from God out
of Heaven, prepared as a bride adorned
for her husband.
3. And 1 heard a great voice out of
Heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of
God is with men, and He will dwell with
them, and they shall be His people, and
God Himself shall be with them, and be
their God.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
This is the culmination of all Scrip-
tural teaching, and it is perhaps the
clearest vision of neaven given any-
where in all the Bible. The whole ac-
count embraces chapters 21 and 22,
which may be briefly summarized as
follows:
The New Jerusalem...............21:1-5. 9-26
Blessing and Cursing...............21:6-8, 27
No Night There..........................22:1-7
Heavenly Worship .....................22:S;9
An Invitation..........................22:10-21
The New Jerusalem.—Jerusalem
was the center of Jewish worship.
Daniel and his friends in captivity
prayed with their faces towards Jer-
usalem. Sin has obscured the face of
God from man. But sin will be final-
ly banished from this earth, and there
will be a new and a better Jerusalem
where men will continue to worship
God, but in a manner they never had
before. For God will dwell among
His people, and the harmony of uni-
versal righteousness will prevail. This
reign of righteousness will mean the
entire absence of sorrow and weep-
ing. There will be only gladness and
mirth. In verses 9 and 10 comes again
the thought of Jerusalem as the place
of worship, and tho church is repre-
sented as the “bride of the Lamb.”
It was a place of exceedingly great
beauty. Its glory and grandeur can
only be represented by visions of fine
gold and all the costly stones. Noth-
ing will enter this city that will mar or
deface its beauty. It is a significant
thought the author puts in apposition
the thoughts of “worketh abomina-
tion” and “maketli a lie.” Of all the
abominations of earth the lie is easily
leader, for it fathers all the others.
Blessing and Cursing.—In chapter
21 are contained two promises arid a
curse. The first promise is the wa-
ter of life to him that thirsteth. The
second is to him that overcometh, lie
shall inherit all things; “and l will be
his God, and he shall be My son.” Son-
ship with such a God is surely the
highest possible gift in even the Di-
vine power. The curse is just as great
as the promises, namely: exclusion
from participation in such great bless-
ings, refusal to even enter the beauti-
ful city.
No Night There.—Two notable
things about the heavenly city are the
river of water, “pure,” and "proceed-
ing out of the throne of God, and of
the Lamb,” and the fact of there being
no night. At the close of the day of
toil comes the night of rest. Over yon-
der there will be no weariness, hence
no need of the night of rest. Then
night time stands for the gloom of
sorrow and disappointment. The per-
petual day of gladness is the promise
beyond this vale of tears. The char-
acter of the light is God Himself,
which means perfect mutual under-
standing ami eternal peace.
Heavenly Worship.—Two things are
to be noticed concerning the worship
of the new Jerusalem. The first is
that there is to be worship, and the
second is that this worship is not to be
of the abstract right. but of a personal
God. John fell down to worship the
angel, a ease of human weakness wor-
shiping Divine goodness, but John was
rebuked, the angel commanding John
to “worship God.”
An Invitation.—“Whosoever will, let
him take of the water of life freely.”
Now is the time to come. In the last
day “the unjust” and “the filthy” will
have no desire to mend their ways;
only the righteous will then be pre-
pared to enjoy the celestial beautiea.

Site Saved Money.
She heard him rummaging around
in the attic. Then his strident,
raucous tones came drifting down the
stairs.
“Where in thunderation,” he
growled, “is that last summer’s
fedora-shaped straw hat o’ mine?”
"The time has come,” she mur-
mured, hoarsely, to herself, and then
she, donned a Fedora-shaped straw
hat that was hidden behind the piano.
It was wrapped around with liberty
silk, and it looked bully on her fluffy
hair.
“Here it is,” she said, when she got
to the top of the attic stairs. “I
cleaned it with lemon juice and fixed
it for myself. Saved you $17.35 for a
spring hat. Like it?”
Then the man was unreasonable and
churlish enough to storm and to de-
mand of her when she intended to be-
gin wearing his shoes and smoking
his pipes.

Yoons Girl* Poisoned by Ice Cream.
Clinton, la., June 15.—Sixteen
young girls who attended a sociable

yesterday afternoon are lying uncon-
scious from ice cream poisoning. It
is believed several of them will die.
A PIKE COUNTY MIRACLE.
Velpen, Ind., June 17.—William 0.
B. Sullivan, farmer of this place, and
who is a brother of ex-Representa-
tive Sullivan, of Pike and Dubois
counties, has had a remarkable ex-
perience recently.
Mr. Sullivan is 49 years of age,
and has been a citizen of Pike county
for 30 years. F’or two years he has
suffered much with Kidney Trouble
and Rheumatism. His shoulders and
side were very sore and stiff, and his
back was so bad he could hardly
straighten up at all. He had palpita-
tion of the heart, and a smothering
which was very distressing. He used
three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and is as strong and well as ever he
was. He pronounces his cure a mir-
acle. Mr. Sullivan’s statement of his
case is startling:
“A month ago I was a cripple. To-
day I can do a hard day’s work every
dav, and have not a single ache or
pain.”
Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done some
wonderful cures in Indiana, but none
more miraculous than that in the
case of Mr. Sullivan.

sible motive is known.
