Lack of Philippine News. Adjutant General Corbin, the Washington dispatches announce, says that ‘‘no word has been received from General Otis for the last two days, ■ whence it is inferred that there hasj been no fighting and no change in the Philippine situation worthy of re- j port.” 4 I ' It is likely that announcements of this nature will not be infrequent in future. The adjutant general has issued a rigid order closing the mouths of all war^department officials at the national capitol, leaving to him the final decision as to what ‘‘changes in the Philippine situation” shall be made known to Washington correspondents as “worthy of report.” An equally rigid military press censorship has been established in the Philippines, the newspapers of this country being notified that any correspondent who seeks to evade this censorship by filing his cablegaams at Hong Kong shall thereupon “cease to be useful to his employers.” With this firm official grip upon the news of Philippine operations the administration will probably be easier in mind than for some time past.' It may be possible^ indeed, to so minim- ' ize the amount of news given out as “worthy of report” as to cause a 4 marked subsidence of public interest in the Philippine situation. This, it is easy to believe, would be grateful to the administration—the Philippine situation having proved somewhat awkward to face and handle. Being the first time in American history, however, that the freedom of the press has been curtailed for the advantage of the dominant political party, it may be that the people of this country will persist in their eagerness for Philippine news. The novelty of the administration's experi- , ment may of itself* serve to prolong public interest in its workings. The people, having had no previous experience with military press censorships, organized for the suppression of news, may be curious to see just how it pans out. And they will not forget that they have the final say-so as to its permanent adoption as an American institution.—St. Louis Res publics _

The New Pharmacy Law. The pharmacy law enacted by the decent legislature went into effect on the 1st of July. The law provides that for any person to coudnct a store in which is sold at retail any chemical, drug or medicine which is poisonous or which contains a poison, or to compound for sale at retail any physician’s prescription unless a registered pharmacist or a registered assistant pharmacist, as provided for in the act is unlawful and the penalty imposes a fine of not more than one hundred nor "less than five dollars upon conviction. No examination for pharmacist have yet been held. The state board of pharmacy will meet July 12th and sit for three days as an examining board. It is claimed that more than 3,000 pharmacists have already registered. The law will be strictly enforced. There Is No ? About It. No question indeed, with those who have Used it, but that Foley’s Kidney Cure is absolutely reliable for all kidney and. bladder diseases. J. R. Adams & Son. j

A Shooting Scrape. At the Iron Bridge last Saturday night Fred Brown shot Peter Carp in the abdomen, producing a serious injurj’. A festival was in progress that evening and Brown was attendant at one of the ice cream stands. Carp with others had filled up on bad liquor and were going to run things to suit themselves, so it is said.' Brown, who is a peaceable young man, was made a target for their abuse and finally Carp made at him with some weapon when Brown pulled his gun and shot him in the abdomen. He fell to the ground. Dr.Fred Hilsmyer of Velpen.arid Dr.Bethell of Winslow, were sent for and attended the wounded man, who pronounced his case serious. Carp formerly resided near Stendal. but for'sometime past has been working on the Air Line railroad as a section hand. Several years ago he served an enlistment? in the regular afiny. Young Brown is a son of Mrs.Thomas Brown, living near Iron Bridge and bears a good reputation. He served an enlistment in the volunteer service of the Spanish war being a member of an Evansville company, returning home last fall.

If the general public were to display as little common sense and regard for the proprieties qf life at the table as in the use of the telephone, the average person would use the handle instead of the bowl of a spoon to convey liquid food to the lips, and chopsticks would be more common than forks. Moreover, were the incivilities exchanged between businessmen over the telephone indulged in when the parties to such conversations stand face to face, the police courts would be crowded with quarreling citizens of eminent respectability, and many of ‘“our best people” would bear the marks of physical punishment at the hands of irate avengers. Men and women who are models of pbliteness and consideration in their social intercourse habitually violate all the : canons of civility in their telephonic treatment of friends and patrons.— j Chicago Evening Post.
