"GOOD old Dr. Down" has sent a hurry-up messenger from Mexico up to Zion City, though the exact amount called for was not stated. THE United States Senate seems to be exceedingly happy in contemplation of the fact that there is no law for pun­ ishing sins of "omission."

N- ARMSTRONG PasHeH Away at His Home Morris, 111., Monday Mornlriy. ® The following clipping wad taken from the Morris, III., paper: This community was shocked this morning when it learned that Dr. Frank Armstrong hiad died instantly with heart disease while walking on the street. While the news was startling to many, it has since been learned that his relatives knew of his serious con­ dition and that the end would come suddenly. Dr. Armstrong accompan­ ied his mother from Chicago last week and has been here since, and in poor, health, though up and around. Last evening he attended the Methodist church and was apparently as well as usual this morning when he started to acompany his brother Dr. Perry Arm­ strong to the depot. He had gone aboutthree blocks from home when he fell to the sidewalk and life was ex­ tinct. Dr. Frank Armstrong was born in this city in 1865. Here he grew to man­ hood and was educated in the public schools. He later took a course of study in mediefne and after finishing, located at Richmond, 111., where he was quite successful until hife health failed. He is survived by bis mother, Mrs. P. A. Armstrong, his brother. Dr. Perry Armstrong, of Chicago, and two half brothers. DP. Elwood Armstrong, of Greenleaf, Kansas, and Wm. Arm­ strong, of Chicago. The most profound sympathy is felt for his mother, who is prostrated with grief. It is but a little over two months since she buried her husband, and since then she has been quite ill, and in no condition to stand such a severe shock.

RUSSIAN peasantry refuse to place much confidence in the Czar's promises of reforms until they learn whether a senate is to be included in his scheme of representative government. AN Eastern dispatch calls attention to the fact that the Korean emperor has changed his religious faith. This is significant, for it calls attention to the fact that Korea still has an emperor. THE small profits of two per cent, which is alleged to be the amount of the profit the beef trust makes is in­ deed a pitiful sum. Why doesn't some­ body suggest that a collection be taken up for the poor thing? THE trust nor their lawyers will be unable to take a vacation this summer. President Roosevelt and they will be busy watching each-, other all through the "heated term, " and will make it very hot for each other. IT is formally announced that the Standard Oil trust has no interest in the beef trust. We are about ready to believe that since Commissioner Gar field has asserted that the beef trust has a profit margin of only two per cent. THE Chicago Chronicle thinks Presi­ dent Roosevelt should have had an "octopus" chained to the wheels of his chariot on the fourth of March. We are of the opinion that he will have themi more safely chained than that, after a little bit Mr. and Mrs. Peter Rothermel are the proud parents of a ten-pound baby boy, born Wednesday, March 15 Peter is passing the cigars, of course. He Didn't Mind the FOR. The London Chronicle relates that during a dense fog in London a mili­ tary man advanced in years lost his way completely in the nocturnal vapor. Bumping against a stranger, he ex­ plained his misfortune and , gave his address. "I know it quite well," said the strajiger, "and I will take you there." It was some distance, but the guide never hesitated for a moment on the whole route. "This is your door," be said at last as a house loomed dimly before them. "Bless my soul," said the old gentleman, "so it is! But how on earth have you been able to make your way through such a fog?" "I know every stick and stone in this part of London," said the stranger quietly, "for I am blind!" The Plaindealer will be sent to any address on trial three months for twen- i y-five cents, and wiU be discontinued at the expiration of time unless other' wise ordered.
