DETROIT , Mich. , Sept. ID. The streets are
bright today with the uniform nnd regalia
of the Odd Fellows from all parts of the coun
try , who are hero attending the order's
diamond Jubilee. Estimates place the entire -
tire number of Odd Fellow visitors now In the
city at 6,000. The local committea predicts
the attendance will bo doubled tomorrow nnd
Thursday by the two great attractions , the
parade and the prlzo drills.
At the session of tbo sovereign grand lodge
today little business was done. When the
call for now business was announced so many
propositions were presented that all were referred -
forred to committees without reading. Among
the proposals under discussion are resolu-
tloiiH constituting a board to revise and
codify all laws enacted by the sovereign
grand ledge nnd to grant to noble grands
and chief patriarchs authority to communi
cate the traveling password.
The grand ledge took action on the mile
age question today , reducing the mile-age
allowed each representative to 10 cents
per mile east of the Hocky mountains and
from 12 cents west of the Rockies to 11 cents.
The vt/to on thin question placed the del
egates on record , but afterward , by a viva
voce vote , the action was reconsidered ,
leaving the mileage at tihe former rates.
San Francisco. Baltimore and Richmond
are the candidates for the 1900 convention ,
with the chances apparently favoring Rich

LONDON , Sept. 19. There is an unveri
fied rumor from Capetown today that the
Boors have delivered , another message to
the Drltlsh high commissioner , Sir Alfred
Mllner , more conciliatory than yesterday's
reply. The rumor , however , falls to ob
tain much credence and Is not taken as In
any way mitigating the seriousness of the
crisis.
The outlander press sees nothing but war
ahead nnd urges the outlandcrs to leave Im
mediately.
The London press Is now Inclined to take
the view that the recent action on the part
of the Boers does not make war a cer
tainty , though It does place the British cab
inet In a position where It must take steps
so aggressive thst war or utter Ignominious
submission will bo the only alternatives
remaining to the Transvaal and Is by no
moans so persistent In urclnc the govern
ment to move , except In the matter of hur
rying troops to the probable scene ot action.
The Pall Mall Gazette prints a dispatch
from Capetown which says : "Tho gen
eral Impression Is that the Boers will at
once take the Initiative and an attack Is
expected at any hour. "
Troops continue to leave Capetown for
Klmberloy nnd the north and the first class
cruiser Terrible , sailing from Portsmouth
for China today , U reported to have been
ordered to go by way of Capetown , Instead
of Suez.
Nothing Is yet known regarding the date
of the expected cabinet council.
Call I net l.v Summoned.
Summonsed were Issued late this evening
for a cabinet council , which It la believed
will bo held Friday. This Is regarded as
the result ot the visit of the premier , Lord
Salisbury , to London , whither ho came this
afternoon , remaining at the foreign office
from 4:30 : to 0:30 : p. m. Chamberlain , sec
retary of state for the colonies , was presenl
In the building at the same time and as a
private doorway connects the offices it Is
presumed that the summonses were the re
sult of their Joint deliberations.
The lack of all excitement In official cir
cles bears evidence to the deliberate manner
in which the highest officials are handling
the crisis. There is not by any means cer
tainty ' 'hat the cabinet council will adopt
extreme measures. In eplto of the uncompro
mising uaturo of the Boer reply. This de
liberation on the part of the government Is
Interpreted not only In London , but In other
European capitals as a dealro on the part
of Great Britain to gain time while the
transports are hurrying to Cape Colony.
The Berliner Naohriehton commenting on
this today says : "Tho special call Is only
meant to deceive the Boers. When England
feels equal to the task of facing the Boors ,
this peaceful tone will give way to a
blatant cry for war. "
Even rumors for a movement of the Boers
across the Natal border apparently fall to
excite the military authorities here , who
profess at least not to fear such a conting
ency for the present.
In the meantime the movement of troops
proceeds. The Royal West Sussex regl-
jnent left today for Malta , where It will
replace the First Border regiment , which
goes by the same steamer to Natal.
It la announced this evening that the Brit
ish first-class protected cruisers Terrible and
Powerful have both been ordered to the
Capo. They have reliefs on board capable
of forming a naval brlgage of 0,000 men.
The steamer Jelunga will take 500 troops
bound for Nartal tomorrow and It will em
bark a rlflo brigade at the island cf Crete
for the Cape.
According to a dispatch from Durban ,
Natal , the premier of the colony says that
the alarm of the people of Natal at the un
protected condition of the people of the bor
der towns Is quite unnecessary and all at
tempts to influence the Zulus have been
unsuccessful.

LONDON , Sept. 19. The English papers

The Dally Mall , which a short tlmo ago erl-

In addition to the yacht race Admiral
Dewey's coming has made the people "fren

The English people take all this literally
and many unpleasant comments over Ameri

Most of the English papers today have

MARYVILLE , Mo. , Sept. 19. ( Special

prominent Nodamay county fruit grower
who lives near Arkoe , the northwest Mis
souri apple crop this jear Is poor.
"The crop is small , " ho said today , "and
a very small per cent of It Is good. I do
not believe that one In fltty apples la sound.
The extreme wet weather of last spring
made liisecta untwually numerous and they
got Into the blo&scms , where the fruit grew
over them , thus embedding them In their
hearts. Ths result is that there Is much
waste In all ot them , and that they will
rot quickly. Go out Into jour orchard and
pick up one apple after another , cutting
them open as you do so , and you will find
that there U hardly one that hasn't a worm
In it. The apples look as well on the out
side to the ordinary observer as usual , "but
the experienced grower finda little difficulty
In picking out ths bad and good ones. "

character of their work. If wo and others
working along this line cau Increase the
general average of the health nnd happi
ness of the millions who dwell In cities we
have gained a victory compared to which
the destruction of a fleet or an army la as
to nothing.
"Since the last meeting of this league our
people have been called upon to undertake ,
or at least to regulate , the government of
cities In now countries and In Havana , San
tiago , Manila and other cities of the East
and West Indies our vigorous soldiers nnd
administrators are enforcing the first prin
cipals of our municipal systems cleanliness
and order.
Xeeil of Intelligent Voting.
"Whatever plans are proposed and what
ever hopes wo Indulge , the bulk of our voters
ers are not educated upon municipal affairs
and arc not Informed of the advantage * they
can caruro by a proper exercise of their
suffrfThe voter should be taught what
ho can jecure by Intelligent voting. This
must 'u.i Jono by the object lesson and ex
ample of other cities where so much has
beeu Jono for the public at large. Tell the
votcs what to vote for and put jour exam
ples In the concrete. "
Atlanta , Ga.t Is represented by a largo
delegation , which Is malting great efforts to
have the convention held there next year.
St. Paul and Milwaukee are also bidding for
the convention. Twenty New York state
cities will be represented on the floor this
afternoon.
The convention adjourned soon after noon
and will reconvene at 2:30. : The principal
address was made by Mayor Samuel M.
Jones of Toledo , O. , who will leave town at
midnight to resume hU campaign In Ohio.
At the afternoon session President Black
made a change In the program and Intro
duced Mayor Jouea of Toledo , who was to
speak tomorrow , but who is compelled to
leave tonight for Ohio , to continue his cam
paign for ( he governorship on the nonpartisan -
partisan ticket. All of the delegates were In
their places when Mayor Jones began his
address on "The New Patriotism ; a Golden
Rule of Government. " He said :
Joiien * Iilcii of I'atrlotlnm.
"As It stands today It Is simple candor
to say that the word patriotism Is to most
people a meanlnglcra Jingle , the one concep
tion they have of the thing being associated
with red fire , bunting , flags , firecrackers and
Fourth of July. The new patriotism , how
ever , Is the old patriotism. The flag , the
stars nnd stripes , still represent the love of
millions , but we have been so busy In the
chase after wealth that any Just conception
of patriotism Is well-nigh lost in the hurly-
burly of the scramble.
"We have reached the point where we are j
discovering that wild beast ethics are not' '
good enough upon which to base a perma-1
nent and enduring republic. The ethics of
i
the wild beast , the survival of the strongest , !
shrewdest and meanest have been the In-1 |
I
splratlon of our materialistic lives during
the last quarter of a century. This fact , In
our natural history , has brought us today
face to face with the inevitable remit. We
have a nation In which a few are wealthy , a
few are In what may be called comfortable
circumstances , vast numbers are proporty-
less and millions arc In pauperism and crime.
Certainly no reasonable person will contend
that thla Is the goal that wo have been
|
struggling for ; that the inequalltlm that !
characterize our rich and poor represent the |
Ideas that the founders of this republic saw
when they wrote that 'All men are created
equal. ' And tbo new patriotism Is the love
of the millions that Is already planning for
and opening the way to better things , to a
condition of life under this government
when every child born In It will have equal
opportunity with every other child to live ,
the best possible kind of life that he or oho
can live.
"The steps most likely to contribute to
bringing about the better days and better
times , for which we all long , are to my mind
those things that will unify the people , that
will servo to weld them together Into one
common maes , those things that will help
them to understand the oneness or solid
arity of society , and the things that are the
greatest hindrance to this sort of develop
ment are all those agencies that servo to
separate the people Into fragments , that keep
allvo the fires of hatred within their bosoms
and tend to make them hate rather than to
love each other. All these agencies
are the enemies of progress and ]
liberty and stand directly athwart thp1
path of freedom. Chief among them , and i
the one agency above all others that the
patriot should seek to overcome In the |
municipality , the state and the nation , Is
partisan politics , "
Following Mayor Jones , the 3crctary nnd
treasurer made their annual reports , after
which the question box waa opened lor the
receipt of queries on subjects relating to
municipal government ,

A COMMOX THOUULi : .
ThoiinnnilN Suffer from It Without
KiionliiK UN Itciil Character.
No trouble Is more common or more mis
understood than nervous dyspepsia. People
having It think that their nerves are to
blame , are surprised that they are not
cured by nerve medicines and spring reme
dies ; the real seat of mUchlof Js lost sight
of ; the stomach Is the organ to be looked
' after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have any
| pain whatever In the stomach , nor perhaps
i any of the usual symptoms of stomach
; weakness. Nervous dyspepsia shows itself
j not In the stomach so much as In nearly
.every other organ ; In some cases the heart
palpitates and Is irregular ; in others , the
kidneys are affected ; In others , the bowels
are troubled , < with loss of flesh and appe
tite , with the accumulation of gas , sour
risings and heartburn.
Mr. A. W. Sharper of No. 61 Prospect
street , Indianapolis , Ind. , writes as fol
lows : "A motive of pure gratitude prompts
mo to write these few lines regarding the
new and valuable medicine , Stuart's Dys
pepsia Tablets. I have been a sufferer from
nervous djspcpsla for the last tflour years ;
have used various pntnt medicines nnd
other remedies without any favorable re
sult. They sometimes gave temporary re-
lief until the effects of the medicine wore
off. I attributed this to my sedentary habIts -
Its , being a bookkeisper with little physical
exorcise , but I am glad1 to state that the
tablets have overcome all thcso obstacles ,
for I have guined In flesh , sleep better nnd
am bettor In every way. The above Is
written not for notoriety , but Is "based " on
actual facts. " Respectfully yours ,
A. W. SHARPER ,
61 Prospect St. , Indianapolis , Jnd.
It Is safe to say that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets will ure any stomach weakness or
disease except cancer of the stomach. They
