A DELIGHTFUL CATASTROPHE. After the terrible steamship and railway - accidents which made the bast season memorable, it is pleasant to read of an affair so delightful for its victims as the recent sinking of the tlississlppi River steamer Chalmetta frroved to be. The Chalmette was the last' of the old-time cotton packets on the AIIssisslppL There are many big gtern-wheel cotton-carriers, and several sldewheel passenger boats, but the Chalmette was a relic of the old St iouis-New Orleans trade. She was the City of Vicksburg of the Anchor line, pnt was rebuilt some years ago to carry cotton to the port of Chalmette, below New Orleans. She could stow ilve thousand five hundred bales on tier spacious deck, and with her guards awash and the cotton , stacked high above her :abin deck, was a spectacle once common, henceforth to be unJmown, on the river. When the Louisiana Purchase Exposition opened she Was put on as a through boat from l?rw Orleans to the fair, and thus evened a trado which had been dead til some years. On a Saturday in July she started XTsrta with about forty passengers nd a lot cf freight Late Tuesday Citernocn she was within thirty-five Chiles of Natchez when, in backing out a landing, she struck a snag and eked a hole in the stern. She ng round with both ends resting n the bank in a little eddy, but with rrenty feet of water under her amidiips, and began to fill. The passengers were quickly notiCM, the gang-plank was run ashore, ad everybody walked out and found 6 seat on the gently sloping, grassy Ines, to watch the spectacular death X the last of the packets. The crew rüly brought the passengers' bag s' ashore, then brought the furlzz from the galley and all the nroLlona from the pantry; and the ta.Z3 from the saloon. Ia half an hour the steamer broke in Tro and tank. Then as darkness eeti 4 over the river the passengers on lavca began a picnic supper, pr t ircd by ths darky cooks over the ro CSSd furnaces.

PICTURESQUE INDIAN GAMES. Beal Game of Ball Which Is Some what Xike Lacrowe. Of Indian sports and games the only ones that survive among the Creeks of Indian Territory are Indian ball, the stomp dance and the fish killing, says the Minneapolis Tribune. Indian ball is a peculiar game. It is as much the national game of the Creeks as baseball Is our national game. It Is played on a ground almost like a gridiron. There are two goals, 150 yards apart, and the object is to pass the ball between these goals. The ball is like a baselball, made of yarn, covered with deer skin. A stick about two feet long, with a spoon shape at the end, backed by thong laces, is used, and in this spoon ths Indian must catch the ball. He is not allowed to touch it with his hands. He catches and throws it with his club. The game is a skirmish all the time between twenty players on a tide. An Indian catches the ball in his stick and starts to, run for his goal. He is immediately tacklea by his opponents and tries to throw the ball. The opponent players strike his stick if they can and if not they strike whatever is in reach, often the head of the player or his person. These games are sometimes scenes of bloodshed, especially when played between rival Indian towns, and many a player has been killed in the game. When women play they are allowed to use their hands in addition to the sticks. They can throw the ball any way they like. They are as fleet as the nun and, with the advantage of their hands, often win. A contest consists of twenty-one polnt3 and there is no tlms limit They play until one side has put the ball thrcrgh the goal twenty-one times. Last year there was little Indian ball. This year the Creeks seem to have the ball fever. Stcmp dances were formerly held in all the towns, but now only in the full-blood trttlements.

The Ibucks go out and hunt until they have killed enough game for a feast The roasting ears are pulled and prepared and eating and dancing begins. The fish killing is still in vogue, and Indians are now enjoying It to the utmcst They assemble for a killing as at a stomp and the basis of this frolic is also a feast They dig "devil's shoestrings," bruise the roots and place it in the, upper end of a deep hole of water. It has a curious effect on the fish. They are apparently put in a stupor. They float to the top of the water and then the Indian kills them with bow and arrow. The rest of the fish killing Is like the stomp, usually ending with a ball game and a feast Get Pictures of Microbes. The latest accomplishment of science is the photographing of living disease germs, says the New York Herald. Given the complicated machinery and processes required to get the negative films for any set of life-motion pictures, the method of securing the films for germ life is simpler than might be supposed. The living germs to be pictured are put on a lantern slide in blood or water or other suitable medium and projected on a screen, Just as they might be by a physician giving a lecture and showing to the class the actual like germs and their habits. Alongside of the lantern is placed the machine for getting the negative films, of the life-motion pictures, and it is operated taking pictures of the projection on the screen at the rate of about thirty a second as by the ordinary method. The lantern, as usually operated, magnifies the germ and whatever else the slide contains about 2,000,000 times. The negative film machine magnifies the image on the screen about three times, the resulting total magnification being 6,000,000. Once-the film strip is obtained in this way it may be used in the ordinary life-motion picture machine again and again. , Magnified to the extent named the germs of diseases which have been isolated and identified are readily obrcrvabl. They are seen being born, moving about growing, giving birth to other germs and dying, Just as they do in real life. The machine may be run fast or slow, or stopped at any pictore, cr it may be set back for a close cr mere detailed study of something which has already been observed.

1-hH Afraid of the Issue. The Republican party has made the United States of America bo prosperous by means of a protective tariff that the Democrats have been unable to make an anti-tariff fight in the present campaign. The tariff has furnished the necessary revenue for all the expenses of the government and has so protected the American market that all American industries have prospered as never before In the history of the Republic. Starting on home prosperity the American manufacturer has been able to conquer "markets in other worlds regardless- of tariffs, which they may have imposed. Such a conquering has aroused the whole world to the dangers of what It calls the "American peril." The American peril referred to is the much feared American competition. The Democratic party knows these things and appreciates them. And the Democratic party has been unab'.e to make any headway in attacking the great principles of the protective, tariff. A few Republicans in Massachusetts and Iowa are the only people' who are dissatisfied with present conditQns. ' Other people believe in standing pat Other people do not believe that the,.

LINCOLN AND GARFIELD TO FIRST VOTERS.

Abraham Lincoln, June 22, 1S4S: "Young men get together and form a Rough and Ready Club. Let every one play the part he can play best; some speak, some sing, and all holler. Don't fail to do this." James A. Garfield, October 11, 1S79: "Let me give you this one word of advice, as you are about to pitch your tent in one of the great political camps. Your life Is full and buoyant with hope now, and I bog you, when you pitch your tent pitch it among the living and not among the dead."

raw materials is deserted and protection is taken away from him he will see that protection is also withdrawn from the manufactured product. There are people who beli ive that all the ad vantage of protection in one direction can be used and enjoyed and all of its penalties in another avoided. The workingman has at different times been made to believe that he could enJoy his protection and withdraw it from the owner of the factory. Such was his opinion In 1S92, but he soon discovered his mistake. The "new" Iowa and Massachusetts doctrines are the oldest idoas of the free trader and the oldest ideas of the Democratic party now partially abandoned by Demoocrats and now partially taken up by Republicans. This talk about "kicking customers off of your front steps' on account of the protective tariff, now occasionally indulged In by Republi cans, Is old Democratic doctrine born again, has been so successful as. to practically make Democracy impossible, therefore present conditions do not warrant Republicans in deserting their faith unless triumph suggests desertion. Des Moines Capitil. Not a Party, but a Free Fight. Considering that the so-called Demo cratic party is net a party at all, but an inharmonious mob composed of all the political riff-raff that can find no abiding place elsewbere, it is not surprising that the rows and wrangles within its ranks should continually be upon tbe point of violent explosion. These wrangles were to have been expected when elements so acutely at variance as the trans-Missouri Bryanites and the Wall street Belmontites undertook to sleep under the same party coverlid. There Is absolutely nothing In com mon between these two forces. They are fundamentally antagonistic to each other on most of ,the vital political is sues of the day. They hate each other far more cordially than they hate the Republicans. Hence it Is that there is not even a perfunctory agreement upon .the formal platform of the party. There was such an agreement in 1S90 and 1900; there is none to-day. Whatever there is of a real platform has been promul gated not by the St. Louis convention but by the head of the Democratic ticket Judge Parker supplied, after a fashIon, the omission of any reference to the currency, and be interpreted the Philippine proonuncement to mean "scuttle." These are the only two is sues upon which there is even a semblance of authoritative democratic deliverance. The rest are awry. On the tariff there U no unity. The platform declares proX-ction to b-; a robbery, but no Democratic orator says bo. On the contrary, all the soothsayers and spellbinders unite in vociferating that the Democratic purpose is revision, not destruction of the tariff schedules. The platform is clearly shown to have been a mere catch-vote device, which is now repudiated, since It is a failure in that line. There Is no greater harmony respect ing the trusts, since, while the -whis kered Bryanites of the granger states nay cry "Death to the trusts H -it is tbxurd to pretend tnat Messrs. jfeaLedy and Eelntont and their conran-

(( OMMEAIT I 4"?. M-H-l agers of the party machinery would assail enterprises in which their own interests are bound up. Whatever the western wing of the party may say, the eastern wing Is not going to commit financial hara-kari in the interest of party harmony. The amount "of it is that the socalled "reorganization" of the Democratic party has merely Introduced discord and distrust into its rasks. No longer a coherest aggregation of socialistic, populistic advocates of fiat money and repudiation, the party has become a free fight where the head in sight is smitten because every man is every other man's foe. There is no Democratic harmony, because there is no Democratic party. Chicago Chronicle. Proceeds of tlie "Robbery." The Democratic convention at St Louis denounced the protective tariff as a "robbery." The people are enjoying the proceeds of this "robbery." The savings banks deposits of the. country, which were about $1,748,000,000 in 1S04, have risen to more than $3,000,000,000. The deposits of the savings banks of New York State alone were $55,000,000 more on June 30, 1904, than they were on that date in the preceding year. In New York and New England there are more savings banks deposits than there were in the whole country in 1894. The farmers are selling their products at good prices, and the working people are living better than ever before. If this Is "robbery" the community Is the receiver of the stolen goods. Nothing of the kind occurred under the Wilson tariff, as the New York Press points out when idleness and poverty so affected business that there was no temptation even for the robbing industry. If protection is a "robbery" it is the people who are robbing themselves, and they are placing more in one pocket than they are taking out of the other. Troy Times. Aphorisms of Roosevelt. In our country, with its many-sided hurrying, practical life, the place for cloistered virtuS is far smaller than Is the place for that essential manliness which, without losing Its fine and lofty side, can yet hold Its own in the rough struggle with the forces of the world round about us. The man or woman who, as a breadwinner and home-maker, or as wife and mother, has done all that he or she can do, patiently and uncomplainingly, Is to be honored; and is to be envied by all those who have never had the good fortune to feel the need and duty of doing such work. It is a base and an infamous thing for the man of means to act in a spirit of arrogant and brutal disregard of right toward his fellow who has less means; and it Is no less Infamous, no less base, to act in a spirit of rancor, envy and hatred against the man of greater means, merely because of his greater means. Political Potpourri. When election day comes around the Democratic party will still be reorganizing. Senator Fairbanks is skipping about the country in a way quite disheartening to Grandpa Davis. s The Democratic campaign textbook Is not likely to be in such demand as If it were not an "expurgated edition." Bourke Cockran insis'ts that the times are out of tune. Maybe that Is the reason why there are so few campaign songs this year. The Republican national platform may contain a few errors, but it can be said of it with a degree of pride that it was not edited by a Western Union telegraph wire. f TWO VIEWS OF GRANDPA DAVIS.

FARMERS TO DROP THE BEET.

Colorado Sngat Manufacturers Will Buy Land and Raise Own Supply. There is a wise whisper in northern Colorado of au approaching revolutionary change in the methods of the great beet sugar Industry. It is now said that the northern Colorado farmer is neither an enthusiast in the culture of the sugar beet itself nor a firm believer in the justice of prices, weights and measures meted out to him at sugar factory doors. On the other hand, it is reported that the sugar factory managers are not In love with the present system of con tract sugar beet cultivation. The farmers and the factory have developed a mutual antagonism, the farmer saying that he can get better returns from his land in other crops, while the factory owners claim that they have already reached, if not actually overstepped, the margin of profits In the present prices paid and methods pursued. The northern Colorado farmer has already practically refused to raise sugar beets, while the northern Col orado sugar beet factories are preparing to meet the conditions which confront them by the cutright purchase of sufficient lands to supply each fac tory with beets. By this combination of factory and farm, the factory people claim that they can reduce their pres ent beet growing expenses at least one-half, and can produce a much high er saccharine beet average than can be grown under the farmer contract system. The land purchases can be made at from $50 to $100 an acre, with .the cheaper and more distant lands prefer red. These outlying and therefore cheaper lands are to be reached by electric line. A significant pointer In this general direction Is found In the recent statement of a well-posted and observant northern Colorado business man: "Every beet sugar factory in northern Colorado will be compelled to close down within three years if they do not buy and farm their own sugar beet land." The next move of the manufactur ers, it is said, will be a gigantic beet sugar manufacturing trust which will speedily add to the six northern Colorado factories all the other sugar manufacturing plants of the State, and eventually form a combination of western American beet sugar factories.

She brought the doughnuts on a dish of brown earthenware. The sugar, melted, was In a red clay saucer.

"In New Hampshire," he said afterward, as he sipped a cup of black coffee and smoked an Egyptian cigarette, "you must never fall to eat hot doughnuts and maple sugar, for this is the dish of the State. Hot unsweetened doughnuts, dipped In melted maple sugar nothing in the world Is more delicious. "Wherever I go," he continued, "I eat the dish of the district Thus, in Vermont I eat green apple pie. In Boston I eat baked beans. . In Maryland I eat Maryland biscuit and fried chicken. In Philadelphia I eat scrapple and fried oysters. In New York I eat onion soup. On the New Jersey coast I eat fish. . In Virginia I eat corn. In Rhode Island I eat soft shell clams." In an absent minded manner he took a fragment of doughnut from the earthenware dish and d'pped it in the sugar that still smoked a little in its red saucer. "In Baltimore," he said, "I eat crabs; In Missouri, Mississippi, catfish; In Washington, terrapin; In London, crumpets; in Paris, escargots; in Berlin, sausages." He swallowed the last of his doughnuts and maple sugar. But this New Hampshire dish," he said, "is the best of them all." ew York Telegram. Scarcity or Heroes. In addressing the class of cadets which recently was graduated from the Military Academy at West Point General James R.

"In all the world's history," he said, "there have been only two or throe heroes, but there have been a great many good soldiers. ''Now that you are entering the army, you can take to heart the spirit of this little incident of the Santiago campaign, when war correspondents were making heroes as fast as they could write. f "It was the afternoon of a battle, and a young woman came upon a soldier who was returning to camp badly wounded, - " 'Are you one of the heroes?" she asked.

De Long, of No. ICO West Broadway, Council Bluffs, Iowa, found herself suddenly attacked by rheumatism in the winter of 1806. She gave the doctor a chance to help her, which he failed to improve, and then she did some thinking and experimenting of her own. She was bo successful that she deems it her duty to tell the story of her escape from suffering : My brother-in-law,' she says," was enthusiastic on the subject of Dr. Williams Pink Pills as a purifier of the blood, and when I was suffering extreme pains in the joints of my ankles, knees, hips, wrists aud elbows, and the doctor was giving me no relief, 1 began to reflect that rheumatism is a disease of the blood and that, if Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are so good for the blood, they must be good for rheumatism and worth a trial. I was in bed half the time, sufff ring with pain that cannot bo described to one who has never had the diseas 3. It would concentrate sometimes in o le set of joints. When it was in my feet I could not walk, when it was in my elbows and wrists I could not even draw the coverlets over my body. I had suffered in this way for weeks before I began using Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Two weeks after I began with them I experienced relief and after I had taken six boxes I was entirely well. To make sure I continued to use them about two weeks longer and then stopped altogether.' For several years I have had no reason to use them for myself, but I have recomm ended them to others as an excellent remedy." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills furnish tbe blood with all the elements that are needed to build up healthy tissue, strong muscles and nerves, c?rable of bearing the strain that nature puts upon them. They really make new blood and cure all diseases arising from disorders of the blood or nerves, inch as sciatica, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus dance, lieiTous prostration, anremia and all forms of weakness in either male or iemale.
