Hanna is Still His Friend
While Hitchcock is Still
Against Him Return- If,* HC
ed Last Night
Governor C. M. Barnes returned
from Washington last nig)j^ feeling in
the best of moods. Mrs. Barnes ac-
companied him and is feeling much
improved with her trip East. She has
entirely recovered from . er recent ill-
ness.
In a conversation ' with Governor
Barnes relative to the contest for the
governorship, he expresses himself as
feeling confident that his chances are
all right. He said that Hanna was
still his friend, as in times paBt, but
Secretary Hitchcock was probably
against him for reappointment.
The governor was disinclined to dis-
cuss the subject and from his manner
he evidently felt that in the present
criaia of the' question silence was wis-
dom, but while all this was apparent
he appeared in the best of spirits, and
if he returned with the information
that he would not be reappointed he
evidently is disposed to keep the fact
entirely to himself for the present.

Bcrlpps-McRae Press Ass'n.
Washington, D. C., ApWl 3.—Al-
though Aguinaldo has taken the oath
of allegiance he is still liable to pun-
ishment if it is proved he violated the
rules of civilized warfare, if he issued
a proclamation demanding three Fili-
pinos for each American captured and
threatening to shoot the prisoners if
no exchange was effected he is apt to
suffer in jail for it.
Boston, Mass, April 3.—Sexto Lopez
says that as fear would not induce
Aguinaldo to take the oath, he assumes
that the rebel took it believing that
independence would be easier secured
by peaceable moans. He predicts the
Filipinos will lose all confidence in
Aguinaldo if he accepts a salaried po-
sition under the Americans.

If Lightning Should Strike What
Woul it Miss?
The scrap that is now in progress
in this territory for prospective pat-
ronage to be available when the gov-
ernorship business is settled is inter-
esting. Each day develops more fel-
lows with their lightning rods stucl(
up into political space. Springing new
candidates from day to day may be
the only business of some and but one
rule seems to hold, "The more the
merrier."
Among the prominent Republicans
who would like "A Good Thing" are
the following:
Wm. Grimes wants the secretary-
ship.
Harry Gilstrap wants the secretary-
ship.
Jas. J. Houston wants the secretary-

taryship.

few weeks ago purchased fiftv avenue
lots and announced that he would
build an eighteen story hotel. The
Vanderbilts live across the street. He
offered Gates a round million for tha

original purchase price.
Risen with Royal Baking Powder, all these
foods are superlatively light, sweet, tender,
delicious and wholesome.
Royal Raking Powder is the greatest of

Coffee Making Test.
Tests of coffee recently made by the
department of agriculture are of inter-
est to the coffee lover. The expert in
charge states that while little pure
Java or Mocha finds its way to the
American market, other localities fur-
nish beans of almost, if not quite, as
good flavor. He mentions Hawaii and
Porto Rico as supplying good coffee.
Adulterations, he finds, are for the
most part harmless. Prof. Wiley, the
testing chemist, says that the use of
coffee in moderation will not harm
most people, but that a moderate quan-
tity should be used. He thinks a cup-
ful, one-half of which is hot milk, for
breakfast and a small cupful of black
coffee for dinner a proper quantity. He
also states that it is harmful for per-
sons with heart trouble.

The Small Boy on Bad Weather.
He had reached the mature age of
six years, and he had met with a great
u.sappointment. He was to be taken
on a nice little excursion, and he cer-
tainly would have gone but for the
weather, which on this particular day
was so very bad that no mother
would take a small boy out in it. Be-
ing a boy, the young man did not cry,
Lut he felt hurt, and set out in a logi-
cal, masculine way to reason things
out. He was a well-taught small boy,
and he had learned many things,
among others, something of the cre-
ation of the world ag,ss ago and the
Creator. He also knew that the Cre-
ator of the world is the Creator of
what is known as the weather. After
thinking the matter over, he went to
his mother.
'Mamma, it is a long time since
God made the world, Isn't It?"
"Yes," answered mamma, "a long
time."
"Then don't you think mamma," he
went on, earnestly, "that He is getting
pretty old to manage it?"—Philadel-
phia Telegraph.
The Best Remedy for Rheumatism.
Quick Relief From Pain.
All who use Chamberlain's Pain
Balm for rheumatism are delighted
with the quick relief from pain which
it affords. When speaking of this Mr.
D. N. Sinks, of Troy, Ohio, says:
"Some time ago I had a severe attack
of rheumatism in my arm and shoul-
der. I tried numerous remedies but
got no relief until I was recommended
by Messrs. Geo. F. Parsons & Co.,
druggists of this place, to try Cham-
berlain's Pain Balm. They recom-
mended it so highly that I bought a
bottle. I was soon relieved of all pain,
i have since recommended this lini-
ment to many of my friends, who
agree with me that it is the best
remedy for muscular rheumatism in
the market." For sale by C R. Ren-
fro. druggist.
