FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1901.
MR. BRYAN declares this week that Mr. McKinley is an emperor. He declared the same thing all over the country last fall and the people told him at the polls what they thought of his insane vaporings.
LEBANON Pioneer: Sam Artman has decided that he does not want the Ninth district congressional nomination and the circuit court judgeship is too small a position. A supreme court judgeship would be more to his liking.
ATTORNEY GENERAL KNOX is now engaged, by direction of President McKinley, in preparing a comprehensive opinion on all of the supreme court insular decisions, showing precisely how far they go and what effect they will have upon our insular relatione. That opinion will be submitted to the President and cabinet this week, and after its careful consideration it will be decided and probably officially announced what, if any, changes will be made in any branch of those relations. The opinion will also be a determining factor in the question of whether an extra session of congress will be called.
A PEW days ago at San Francisco thathorrid tryant "emperor" McKinley said in a speech on our island possesions: "They are ours not to subjugate, but emancipate not to rule in the power of might, but to take to those distant people the principles of liberty, of freedom of conscience and of opDortunity that are enjoyed by the people of the United States. Our Hag never goes anywhere except it carries blessings. Our flag never oppressed anybody, but has given freedom to every people over whom it has floated."
ATTORNEY-GENERAL KNOX, at the request of the Spanish claims commission, has rendered an opinion that claims growing out of the loss of the battleship Maine, are properly claims of the United States against Spain, which means that they have no legal status, as the treaty of Paris expressly stipulated that no claims of the United States against Spain on account of the war j'ii iuld be made. Such claims are still Loing filed, but it is probable that they had been prepared before the attorney-general had been heard from, and that the attorneys are filing them so as to be in a position to take advantage of the possibility of the opinion not being upheld by the courts, although so far as known, no steps have been taken toward gettiner its legality passed upon.
SECRETARY ROOT'S letter, instructing General Wood to inform the members of the Cuban constitutional convention that this government did not approve of the -additions made to the Piatt amendment, before its acceptance by the convention, was a 'long and carefully prepared document, in the preparation of which President McKinley assisted. It impressed upon General Wood that this government does not wish to offend the Cubans, but that they must accept the Piatt amendment just as it passed congress, if they wish American authority to be withdrawn from the island that nothing short of that will be satistactory to this government. The Piatt amendment is plain and the attempt to interpret several of its provisions, which the Cubans added, are obscure.
PERRY HEATH passed through Washington several days ago, and in the course of a conversation, said of ihis much talked of London interview concerning the nomination of Senator Hanna for-President: "That boom, if that term could be applied to my expression in London, was the merest incident or the outgrowth of a friendly conversation that could be possible, had not thought of the expression moment before it passed my lips, and I don't believe I thought of it again until I arrived in the United States, think the idea.of being a Presidential nominee is about the furthest away from Senator Hanna's mind than any other subject in the world. In talking of his great strength of character and popularity, I only meant to convey the idea that he would make a magnificent candidate and a tip-top Presldsnt. I expect that the first time I meet Sena tor Hanna I will have to dodge a few brickbats for I feel very certain that this subject is one not only foreign to his ambitions, bi*t disagreeable to him."
AFTER MR. BllYAN.
The Chicago Chronicle, the leading Democratic paper of the central west, thus pays its compliments to Wm. Jennings Bryan: "Mr. Bryan's comments on the supreme court 'insular' decision are, in the language of a dispatch, 'more vigorous than is customary even with him.' He says that the President has 'joined hands with the supreme court to change the form of our government' and that a '5 to 4 decision declared McKinley emperor of Porto Rico.' Mr. McKinley 'gratefully accepted the title conferred upon him by the highest judicial tribunal in the land. "Whether this is true and reasonable or untrue and unreasonable, Mr. Bryan is mainly responsible for the condition of affairs which he describes. He disrupted the Democratic party in 1896 by forcing on the Chicago convention an undemocratic, unsound Populistic platform on which he stood as a Presidential candidate and was repudiated with his platform by a million of the best Democratic voters in the country. In 1900 he forced on the unwilling and recalcitrant Democratic oters the same platform and himself again as a candidate. With any other candidate and with a constitutional Democratic platform McKinley would not have been re-elected in 1900.
For all the present evils of the country which he deecribes Mr. Bryan, with the violent, undemocratic, unpatriotic, unnatural, absurd Populistic fusion which he twice represented as a Presidential candidate, is to the amplest extent individually responsible."
ONE of the results of a published interview with the president of Venezuela, in which he reflected severely upon United States Minister Loom's, now in Europe on a vacatian, for acts in which he was carrying out his instructions from Secretary Hay, is that President McKinley has decided that Mr. Loomis shall not return to Venezuela, but shall be given another diplomatic position of equal importance. The president of Venezuela will find no difference in the change, as the new minister will be given precisely the same instructions that were given to Mr. Loomis. Meanwhile, Mr. W. W. Russell, who is in charge of the United States legation at Caracas, has been instructed to inform the government of Venezuela, that this government endorses every official act of Minister Loomis.
DIRECTOR MERRIAM, of the census bureau, has been breaking records ever since the taking of the census was started last year, and the final report on population, showing the aggregate population by states and territories, density of population, center of population in its .medium point, population of Alaska and Hawaii, etc., the first half of which has just been issued, and the concluding half of which will be issued in the early fall, will be four years ahead of similar reports made in any previous census.
THE balance sheet of the government shows a surplus of about $10,500, 000 for May. That is, the government's receiots exceeded its expend itures to that extent. For the eleven months of the fiscal year the surplus has been about $58,500,000. Considering that taxes have been reduced this balance on the right side of the account is encouraging. The government's financial condition is decidedly satisfac tory.
WM. JENNINGS BRYAN and Healer Dowie agree that the republic has gone to pot. Mr. Bryan was defeated for the Presidency and Mr. Dowie was arrested for fraud f-o they are possibly a trifle pessimistic.
Commissioners' Court.
The county commissioners have appointed Cornelius McDonald as a special constable for the Greenwood horse thief detective association.
An order has been made that those having in charge the care of the poor must file their reports each year before January 10.
A bill of the Putnam circuit court was allowed for $146.80 for costs in the venued case of S. C. Graybill against the Midland road.
The viewers have reported favorably on the D. H. Britts proposed highway and it has been ordered opened.
In the matter of the petition of Noah Brick and others for the vacation of a highway the viewers reported favorably, but two remonstrances have been filed.
Melchoir Meyer has been granted license to sell liquor.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
By local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is bv constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inliamcd condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will bo destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused bv catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars, free.

MeV" lie and all who were with him fell to the ground, but he alone heard these words, spoken in the Hebrew language (compare the parallel accounts). The voice was for him, not for his companions. In Dan. x, 7. we read that he alone saw the vision the men who were with him saw it not, but were filled with fear. The vision and the words were for Daniel, not for them. When Peter was released from prison, he alone saw and heard the angel the guards knew nothing of it. So it may be when lie calls Ilis saints to meet Ilim in the air. The world may see or hear nothing, but perhaps be afraid. 8. "I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom thou persecutest." This in answer to his question, "Who art thou. Lord?" What a revelation for Saul, who had believed Jesus to be an impostor nnd who. sincerely wishing to do right before God, sees in a moment that he is all wrong and that the believers in Jesus whom he had been persecuting were right and that he, Saul, had been persecuting Christ in them. That Israel's Messiah had actually come and been rejected and crucified by the rulers of the people, and that he is, with them, guilty of His death. In a moment he sees his Lord, and he sees himself as a rebel against his Lord and Saviour. 9. "They heard not' the voice of Him that spake to me." Chapter ix, 7, says that they heard a voice: there is no contradiction there can be none in Scripture. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth, cannot contradict Himself. They heard a sound, but not the words, which were for Saul only. Compare John xii, 28, 29, where some heard words, but others only heard something like thunder. Do you hear Ilim speak to you personal ly when you read His word, or is it all indistinct? 10. "And I said, What shall do,

0. "Nigh unto Damascus about noon suddenly there shone from heaven a groat light round about nie." have been studying the appearances of our Lord to His disciples after His resurrccliou, and now in this lesson and the next \ve have two of Mis post ascension appearances. It would be very profitable to consider Ilis first post ascension appearance to Stephen. Let every one iay up Acts vii, 55, and may it become a constant word in our hearts. In studying this lesson it would be very profitable to write out in parallel coluuins the three accounts of this incident in chapters ix, 1-20 xxvi, 0-20, and the portion we are about to study. Paul tells us that he was on his way to Damascus to bring the believers there to Jerusalem to be punished (verse 3), and, believing that he ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth, he had put saints in prison and helped put them to death (xxvi, !)-ll). 7. "Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou
Lord?" or, as in ix, 0, "Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" Saul submits, he accepts the risen Christ as Israel's' Messiah and as his Lord and Master, and his question is no longer what the chief priests would have him do, but what the only true High Priest would have him do he has ceased from man, for he has seen the Lord. I-Ie is sent to Damascus but under a very different authority from that which sent him from Jerusalem, urn! to learn the things that have been appointed by God for him. If our honest questions are, Where wilt Thou, Lord' (Luke xxii, and, What wilt Thou, Lord? He will not fail to show us all the things appointed for us and guide us in them. 11. "I could not see for the glory oi that light." So those who were witb him led hitn by the hand into Damascus, and he was three days without sight, and neither did eat nor drink (ix, 9). He must have learned much as ho communed with God those three days of dying tc self and the world, and doubtless the Lord wondrously and lovingly revealed Himself to him. What a blessed experience it would be to have such a vision of the glory of God that we would nr. more see the attractiveness of this world's vanities because of the glory oi that light! Eyes and ears for Him! 12. 13. "Brother Saul, receive thy sight." Thus said Ananias, a disciple, having been commissioned by the Lord tc search out Saul and be a blessing and comfort to him. Give much attention here to Acts ix, 10-19, and note among other things that the Lord in heaven ob serves tho street in the city on which w« sojourn and the house on the street. He knows just where to find us always and just what He can do with us, and those who are willing may be chosen vessels unto Him to bear His name if willing also to suffer for His name's sake. Sau! had spent much of the three days ir prayer, and the Lord had granted him vision of a man coming to him and put ting his hand upon him that he might re ceive his sight. 14-10. Note the honors conferred upon
Saul and take them to yourself as far as your faith will allow, remembering thai all things are yours but yourself, and you, if redeemed, should be set apart foi Himself (I Cor. iii, 21 vi, 19, 20 Ps. iv 3). "Chosen to know His will." See II Pet. iii, 9 John vi, 38-40 xvii, 24 Luke xxii, 42, and consider how fully you arc living in the will of God. "See that Jusl One." "Tliey saw no man any more save Jesus only with themselves." "Run with patience looking unto Jesus" (Mark ix, 8 Heb. xii, 1, 2). "Hear the voice of Ilis mouth." "This is my beloved Son hear Him" (Math, xyii, 5). Let our determination be, "I will heat what God the Lord will speak" (Ps. lxxxv, 8) not the opinions of men, bul only the voice of God. "Thou shalt be His witness unto all inen of what thou hast seen and heard." Compare Acts iv, 20 I John i, 3, and say before God how and where you stand. Are you willingly the Lord's servant, living to turn people from darkness to light, from satan untc God, that they may receive forgiveness and inheritance by faith in Christ by declaring because you cannot help It that which you have seen for yourself in Christ and heard with your own ears from Him? (Chapter xxvi, 16-18.) It is the privilege of every sinner who has even heard the gospel to receive tho Lord Jesus and be saved it is the privilege of ffvery saved one to be joyfully conscious of the forgiveness of sins and by a con' slsteat life and testimony lead others tc
Him (John i, 12 vi, 37 I Jbhn v, 12: Acts xiii, 38, 39 Rev. xxii, 17),

Black Death!
1*
BUG KILLER and FERTILIZER
(TRADE MARK.) Two years of unprecedented success wherever introduced all over the United States has proved "BLACK DEATH1' to be an absolute annihilator of all insects, bugs or beetles that pray on vegetation. It positively kills Potato Bugs, Squash Bugs, Pumpkin Bugs, "Watermelon Bugs, Rose Bugs, Currant Worms, Cabbage Worms, etc. It will kill all kinds of creeping things that eat the leaves of vegetables or plants.
What is "BLACK DEATH?" It is an inexpensive powder as fine as flour and extremely diffusable, and completely covers with a fine dust all plants over which it is sprinkled. In addition to being powerful in its effects to kill all insect life, it also acts as a fertilizer, thereby very materially increasing the crops of potatoes, etc., which it is applied.
Its pointa of superiority over all other bug poisons may be summed up as follows: 1st. ABSOLUTE DEATH to all insect life. 2d. ECONOMY, being cheaper than any other insecticide known. 3d. ITS FERTILIZING QUALITIES and beneficial effects on all plants to which applied, especially POTATOES. 4th. EASE OP APPLICATION. Any child can apply it. 5th. SAFETY. Does no injury to persons handling it.
CONVENIENCE. Being always ready for immediate application. 7th. QUALITY. Every pound being guaranteed of uniform strength and excellence.
A GOOD CROP OR POTATOES,
cabbage, or any other vegetables cannot be obtained, no matter how good your soil and seed may be, or .how favorable the weather, or how much care and labor you expend on them, unless the vines and leaves are kept vigorous and healthy. Such a condition cannot be kept up unless all insectB or bugs are destroyed as fast as they appear. Any cause that injures the leaves hurts the plant, and that which destroys the foliage destroys the root also, and lessens the crops. Therefore, it is necessary that the vines and trees be kept growing and free from the ravages of insects and bugs.
THE POTATO BUG is the greatest enemy the potato grower has. He has a good mouth with upper and under jaws, and eats the leaveB with a relish. "BLACK DEATH" sprinkled on the leaves kills him with expedition and dispatch. Three crops of eggs are laid each year. Prompt action is therefore necessary. Just as soon as the potato bug makes his appearance, dust the vines carefully and thoroughly with "BLACK DEATH." Kill off the first arrivals and you should not have any further trouble. The same course should be pursued in the case of other pests.
