Byron liams, formerly of Audrain county, now of Ballard, Washington, writes the following interesting letter to La.

B. Sipple, of Rush Hill: Ballard is a suburb of Seattle, about 10,000 population. It is a mill town, making about one million shingles and two hundred and fifty thousand feet of lumber per day. A large amount of our shingles go to grand old Missouri. Logs are towed here off of the sound.

We have a two-mile water front on Salmon Bay and, by the way, it is the route selected by Uncle Sam for the big government canal from Puget Sound to Lake Washington. Everything is booming here. Ballard is growing at a phenominal rate; from 150 to 200 houses are in course of construction to-day. We have a very equitable climate mild winter and cool summer. Not much farming is done here, but for small grain and fruits and vegetables we are o.

We are greatly pleased with this country. Nature did things up. on a scale; such opportunities and possibilities for future greatness do not exist anywhere else on this continent. If the people East only knew one half the advantages that this great Northwestern section has in store for all those who will come and enjoy them, all the rolling stock on all the great trans-continental railroads could not haul all the people that would want to come in 3 full years time; and there is room bere for millions. A man can have choice of occupations bere; he can farm, mine, manufacture or trade, and have a wide diversity in each line.

Mexico Man at Hot Springs. Among the local enterprises being promoted at Hot Springs, is a National Christian Home. It will be undenominational, opening its doors to the worthy destitute of every church. The home is being projected be a board of trustees chosen and endorsed by the city and the governor of the The institution will cost 8100.000 when completed. A bill is now being drawn up asking the government.

concessions toward a site The government could do no more benevolent act, than donate a site for an institution of this kind. It is apparent to every one visiting the springs that the need of such a home is very great. In addition to the home and sanitarium features of this institution, there will be a public library and reading room. These are greatly needed, there being none in the city. The benevolent public can do no greater or worthier act of charity than assist in estabilsbing the home.

T. 1 Nelson Kincaid, formerly of Mexico, is president of the board and is always ready to furnish any information desired. Advertised Letters.

It Purifies the Blood and Removes Every Trace of Poisonous Acid. The Great Medicine Has Cured More Rheumatic Sufferers Than All Other Combined Medicines. Sufferers from the varied forms of rheumatism articular, muscular, inflammatory, lumbago and gout should bear in mind that there is a morbid principle in the blood when rheumatism is present. This morbid principle is uric acid, which circulates with the blood and acts upon the joints and muscles, causing the pains and agonies of rheumatitm. Paine's Celery Compound is the only scientific remedy for the permanent banishment of every form of rheumatism.

1. If your joints are painful; if the knees, wrists, elbows, or ankles are swollen, a few bottles of Paine's Celery Compound will soon remove all your troubles and pains. If you have inflammatory or sciatic rheumatism accompanied with darting pains in the sciatic nerve from the hip down the leg, Paine's Celery Compound taken at once will soon drive out the disease, and make you strong and active. At this particular time when rheumatism frequently lays the foundation for other incurable and grave troubles, we specially urge the honest use of at least one bottle of Dr. Phelps' life giving medicine, Paine's Celery Compound No case is to complicated or difficult for this king of medicines.

Thousands of bappy and grateful men and women sing its praises and continually recommend it. It is the only medicine that can rescue people from agony and death after physicians pronounce them incurable. Mrs. Louisa Rix, Wesley, Iowa, says: "Some time ago my husband was taken down with inflammatory matism so that be was unable to get out of bed alone or to dress himself. We employed good doctors and used many kinds of medicines, but with DO relief.

We finally sent for a bottle of Paine's Celery Compound and before he had tinished he was able to be at work. Another bottle entirely cured him." Save Money by dyeing your faded garments with Diamond Dyes. 10 cents. REV. HICKOK'S CHANGE.

Goes From Centralia Pastorate to Farmington, Mo. Centralia, April Rev. C. E. Hickok, pastor of the Presbyterian church at this place, tendered his resignation this morning, which was accepted with reluctance by the church and the entire community.

He organized this church about six years ago. Since that time the church has steadily grown. Last October a bandsome brick building was dedicated, entirely free from debt. The church is harmonious and is now on a firm basis. Mr.

Hickok is a graduate of Westminster College. He resigns the oftice of pastor in order to accept the charge of the Presbyterian church at Farmington. Since he has been in this county he has preached to the Central Presbyterian church and the church of that denomination at Deer Park. He has also been connected editorially with the Columbia Heral for the past five years. During the last six months he has had editorial charge of the Columbia Herald in the absence of Williams, in Europe and the Holy Land.

Before entering the ministry the Rev. Mr. Hickok spent seven years in business life in St. Louis, the last three of which were in the employ of the American Brake Co. He is a native of that city, having been born there in 1870.

EDITORS STICK TO "1903." World's Fair Resolution Passed at Eot Springs Convention. SPRINGS, April "Bob" White, of the Mexico, LEDGER. introduced before the Natonal Editorial Association a resolution calling for a committee to invite a world's congress of editors to meet at St. Louts during the World's Fair in 1903. A sharp fight was made to amend the resolution by leaving out the date "1903," the argument of the father of the proposed amendment being that it was not probable that the Fair would be held in 1903.

T. Sambola Jones, of the Baton Rouge Advocate, came to the aid of Mr. White and pointed out that it would be "an officious and uncalled -for act on the part of the association to take official cognizance of a possible postponement of the fair when such postponement was at present nothing more than rumor and had never been officially considered either by Congress or the World's Fair The original resolution was passed as follows: "Resolved, That the National Editorial Association appoint a committee to invite a world's congress of editors to meet in St. Louis during the World's Fair in that city in 1903; and that Hon. Waiter Williams, editor of the Columbia (Mo.) Herald, and expresident of a this association, who is now abroad, be made a member of this committee." Seven members are to constitute the committee.

Mr. White, of the (Mo.) LEDGER, was made chairman, Mr. Williams name is second on the committee, and Jones, who so ably fought off the amendment, was made third. Four other members are to be appointed. State Board of Equalization.

JEFFERSON CITY, April 21. The State Board of Equalization met today and organized by the election of Governor Dockery as president of the board and State Treasurer R. P. Williams as vice-president. State Auditor Albert O.

A schedule of dates will soon be prepared by the secretary of the board for hearings before the board of the different companies, and due notice will be given these companies when their representatives may appear before the board in regard to the assessment of this year. The board will not likely make public the result of its deliberations in the matter of increases or decreases until the latter part of next July. Women's Faces on Postage Stamps. For more than fifty years our goverument has been making postage stamps. The first issue, in 1847, represented but two values, and on each was printed the likeness of a nent wan- -a policy ever since continued.

Other nations have women's faces on their stamps. Why not the United States? Surely we have representative women enough. There was Dorothea Dix, for instance, whose work for the insane marked an era; Maria Mitchel, whose pure mentality and magniticent reasoning faculty made ber preeminent; Frances Willard, whose reform work claims recognition; not to mention our many noted literary women. There is also a dusky face well worth considering, face of a woman who bolds a unique position in our history and who had much to do in keeping alive that struggling English colony on the James river--why not her face? Why not Pocahontas? Julia Fraser in the Ladies' Home Jonrnal. Mrs.

Farmer Caught in Burning Building Made Hemarkable Escape. VANDALIA, April Key, a thrifty farmer living near this city, made a remarkable escape from a burning building to-day, altbough he was severely burned, and it is possible that his injuries may prove fatal. The farmhouse of Willis Lewellen was on fire and he was helping the family save the furniture when he was caught in a room which suddenly blazed forth on all sides. He groped around in the smoke and flames until he found a door, but when he opened it a sheet of flame drove him back. He next found a window, but here, too, the flames were so fierce that he was driven back.

After the horrified spectators thought that he had certainly been overcome by the heat and smoke, be suddenly emerged from a second door, notwithstanding that the flames were strong there and blowing in his face. He held bis breath and rushed through the wall of fire and ran into a pond close by. He was terribly burned, but there is a chance that he may re- cover. Plotted Against Goebel. KNOXVILLE, April Gillespie, who bas confessed to being in the plot to murder Gov.

William E. Goebel of Kentucky, is in the Sevier County Jail, 40 miles east of here, held by officers, awaiting a reply to messages sent to the sheriff at Lexington, notifying him of arrest and confession. A woman, who refuses to give her name, and who was arrested with Gillespie, after resistance, is also held for developments as to her idenity. Gillespie says that she is his wife. The arrest was made at Pigeon Forge, Sevier County, Thursday noon by Constable J.

W. Wynn. Gillespie admits baving been a fugltive from justice since Goebel's death. He denies having fired the shots. Shot in the Heart, Lived 12 Days, Metto Cannonveri, who shot Jos.

Farahelli, whom he mistook for a burglar, at the boarding house, 2007 Clear field street, on March 26, dered to Coroner Dugan yesterday. Farabelli died in the Samaritan Hospital on Tuesday night. The cause of the man's death has attracted considerable interest in the medical circles. The autospy showed that the bullet had entered the victim's beart, and that he lived for so long a time after the injury is considered extremely remarkable there being only 20 such cases known to the medical Record. Color Line in Woman's Clubs.

KNOXVILLE, April After an excited discussion in the Tennessee Federation of Woman's Clubs meeting here to-day, a resolution to withdraw should negro delegates be admitted at the Los Angeles meeting in May was voted down.

The following was substituted: Resolved, That the Tennessee Federation of Women's Clubs puts itself on record with sister states in regard to representation in the General Federa- tion of Women's Clubs. Narrow Escape for Thos.

Roden. Thos. Roden had a very narrow escape from serious injury Tuesday night. Mr. Roden was riding a horse near the West End bakery when the animal stumbled and fell, Mr.

Roden being pinned beneath the horse's body. Friends assisted Mr. Roden from his perilous position and it was found that his right arm was badly sprained. Persons who saw the accident wonder that he did not receive great injuries as the full force of the fall was on Mr. Roden's back.
