A delegation of Illinois manufacturers called on President Roosevelt and implored him to make a speech in the near future outlining his policy. They want him to explain his position and restore business confidence. After the conference the delegation gave out a statement, which in part is as follows: ‘‘lt was urged upon the president that very great good would come to all interests alike if he would signify his willingness to express in a public address, as soon as possible, the keynote of his creative constructive policy. The president was informed by the committee, that, though the country's prosperity was very great, it would seen become seriously impaired by the creation of uneasiness on the part of banks and investors and would lead to such distrust as to prevent the supply of the necessary moneys to satisfy existing wants, as well as to meet the unparalleled development of the manufacturing and tranportation interests of the country.” Mr. Roosevelt, it is said, was much impressed and promised to give the matter his serious consideration. It it doubtful, however, whether the course pursued by the Illinois people was wise. If there really is a shrinking of credit, due to a lack of confidence in the future, it will not be restored by frightened appeals to the president, thus calling wide attention to and accentuating the danger that it is desirable to avert.

Whether or not the president summoned Mr. Harriman to Washington to make personal appeal to the railroad magnate to raise funds to save the Republican party in 1904, it is a matter of record that the insurance and other corporation went deep into their strong boxes for contributions to the Republican slush fund. Judge Parker openly charged it at the time and was scored by the president. Judge Parker’s charges have been repeatedly proved and time continues to add to the accumulation of evidence that he knew what he was talking about when he made the charges.— Fort W’ayne Sentinel. Thomas Taggart has made a semiofficial statement that he will not be a candidate for re-election to the chair manship of the Democratic national committee.

AN OPEN FIGHT Roosevelt Wil! Not Beat

About the Bush THAT TIME HAS ENDED Says an Official, High in Authority, and World Will See a Pretty Fight. Washington, April 4.—“ From now on it will be a fight in the open between the president and his enemies, the time for beating around the bnsh having ended, and all the world will watch the prettiest scrap pulled oft for many years,’ was the comment of a high administration official who stands close to the president. Continuing. he said: "The president has cordially awaited an opportunity to place Harriman on the list of his enemies. In the future when he wants to say he don't like demagogues, he will say he don’t like demagogues like Harriman. He feels that the enmity of such a man as Harriman is to be courted. Roosevelt believes that Foraker of Ohio, is plotting to start a movement against him. He regards Foraker as an exponent of the antiRoosevelt movement and all the people of the White House are keeping a close tab on the Ohio senator." Washington, April 4.—This statement was given out with authority at the White House this afternoon: “The men who are engineering the scheme to dow nthe president have a fund of five million dollars already subscribed o effect this purpose. The trail of the conspirators goes right across the continent. The stop at nothing and will buy newpapers, legislatures or votes, if necessary. Hearst, Harriman and Rockefeller are the leaders of the scheme.” o FINE OPPORTUNITY Krick, Tyndall & Co. to Enlarge their Plant CAPITAL IS TO BE INCREASED A Good Per Cent Guaranteed to all Subscribers of Stock—Meeting Monday Evening.

Som* Notes on “Origins.” "Humpty Dumpty Sat on a Wall,” etc., has come down to us from the days of King John. "The Babes In the Wood” dates from the fifteenth century, being founded upon facts, an old bouse near Wayland Wood, Norfolk, having the whole story in carvings on a mantelpiece. "Little Jack Horner,” “Little Miss Muffett,” “Old Mother Hubbard,” “Mother Goose” and “Goosey, Goosey Gander,” are each traceable to the sixteenth century. “Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat, Where Have You Been?” belongs to the reign of Queen Elizabeth. “Three Blind Mice” first appeared in a music book dated 1609. "A Froggie Would a-Wooing Go” was licensed to be sung as far back as 1650. “Boys and Girls Come Out to Play” and “Lucy Locket Lost Her Pocket” both hail from the period of Charles 11. And last of all, “Cinderella,” “Jack the Giant Killer," “Bluebeard” and “Tom Thumb” were published by their author, Charles Perrault, In the year 1697.—London Notes and Queries. Plain Words. Freeman, the historian, it was said, was apt to grow Irritable over matters of Intellectual difference. One day he was at the Macmillans’ when the conversation turned upon the subject of Ireland. Mr. Macmillan said that for his part, he was in favor of granting autonomy. Whereupon Freeman began to growl at the use of a Greek word. “Why can’t you speak English,” demanded he, “and say home rule instead of speaking Greek, which you don’t know?” One of the guests flushed with anger and ventured to reprove Freeman, calling his attention to the respect due their host and at the same time paying tribute to Mr. Macmillan’s remarkable abilities. But, although Freeman did not apologize in so many words, he smoothed the matter over by a humorous repetition of his criticism. Later some one mentioned gout “There you go again!” exclaimed Freeman. “Why can't we call it toe woe?” Prey of the Sparrow Hawk. The sparrow hawk almost invariably catches a flying bird for its meal, even striking down birds as large as the wood pigeon, though usually going no higher than a blackbird. If it does not exactly swoop like the larger hawks, yet it must have conditions of chase of its own choosing. That is why the small birds usually mob it with impunity when they are numerous enough to bewilder it. Once, however, I saw a sparrow hawk that had been molested for some minutes by a perfect cloud of green finches dart among them and secure a victim. One day I had one of these birds pointed out as the one which a few days earlier had come close to the house toward dusk and caught a bat on the wing. That, however. is a very unusual meal.—London News.

The Good Little Cent. A popular clergyman had just closed a successful religious campaign. A great many pennies had been put in the offering, and his attention was called to this. One night be held up a silver dollar and a copper penny and gave a conversation held by the two coins. “You poor little red cent, you; you don’t amount to anything. I’d hate to be you,” said the big dollar. “I know I’m not very big,” replied the cent, “but the children like me, and I can buy a good many things.” “Huh, you can’t buy anything at all!” said the dollar. “Just look at me, big and bright and shiny. I can buy a whole lot more than you can.” “Maybe so,” said the little red cent meekly, “but I go to church a heap oftener than you do anyway.” Calhoun and Randolph. When John C. Calhoun became vice president of the United States and con sequently president of the senate he announced that he had not the authority to call the senators to order for words spoken in debate, as he regarded each senator as an ambassador from a sovereign state. The eccentric John Randolph of Virginia took advantage of Mr. Calhoun’s ruling to abuse him personally. One day he began a tirade by saying, “Mr. Speaker—l mean Mr. President of the Senate and Would Be President of the United States, which God In his infinite mercy avert!” What to Name Your Dog. There are certain English names for dogs that have meanings that might be given when appropriate. Alan means a hound; Ashur/black; Blanco, white; Crispin, curly; Duncan, brown; Julius, soft haired; Leonard, lionlike; Linus, flaxen haired; Rnfus, red; Vivian, lively; Clara, bright; Constance, loyal; Joyce, sportive. Such names as Scud, Rover, Dart and Patter are suggestive in themselves. Two classic names suitable for dogs are Biteou and Llxus. Reciprocity. “No,” snapped the sharp faced woman at the door, “I ain’t got no food fur you. an’ I ain’t got no old clo’es. Now git!” “Lady,” replied Harvard Hasben, “I could repay you well. Give me a square meal and I’ll give you a few lessons in grammar.” — Philadelphia Press. Wouldn’t Dane, Upside Down. A young lady rushed into a drug store and asked for some floor wax. The clerk told her they had no floor wax, but had some sealing wax. She yeplied. “We are going to give a dance and want to wax the floor, not the ceiling.”—Baltimore Sun. The undertaker never would get some people if they could live until they acquired wisdom. — Brownsville (Tex.) Herald.

Many Decatur people take their lives in their hands by neglecting the kidneys wheathey know these organs need help. Sick kidneys are responsible for a vast amount of suffering and ill health, but there is no need to suffer nor to remain in danger when all diseases and pains due to weak kidneys can be quickly and permanently cured by the use of Doan’s Kidney Pills. Here is the statement of a Decatur citizen who has reclaimed good health by the use of this remedy: Mrs. Lucy Edge of 728 North Fifth street, Decatur, Id., says: “I st.il think as much of Doan’s Kidney Pills as I did when I gave a statement for publication some years ago endorsing this remedy. I suffered for years with kidney complaint and was annoyed with a constant soreness and pains across my loins, which became worse when I stooped or over-exerted myself. During the night I did not get the rest I needed and my general health became affected so that I could hardly get about to attend to my household duties. 1 noticed Doan’s Kidney Pills advertised in the newspapers and I began using them. They went to the seat of the trouble in a short time and removed the aching and lameness and soreness which has not returned up to this time. I take pleasure in recommending Doan's Kidney Pills, as I believe they make permanent cures.” For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y., sole agents for United States. Remember the name —DOAN’S —and take no other. GOING TO PAPER THIS SPRING? John W. Edwards wants to do your spring paper hanging, house and sign painting.
