OFFENSIVE
Will be War Plans of The
U.S.
DELAY IS DEPRECATED
Will Spain Try to Cause Fur
ther Procrastination.
Washington, Ap.il. 20. —W»
are fearfully near war. A weel
ago it was a prediction. To
day it L virtually a reality. All
partiesand all factions of parties
accept it r.s a foregone conclu
sion. This week offers two pot
sibiiities!
1. Spain may become frightened
at the terrible eainestress of our
war pnparation and ag»in reced.
thus causing further procrastina
tion on our part.
2. The s'ate of feeling among
luvv men. on both sides, is so in
tense that some hostile act seem
imminent every hour, and wai
may he prec pitated befoie Con
gres shall have formality declared
it.
THE PEACE PARTY.
It is the last of these two pos
sibilities that gives most concern
to the peace party. Bets are freeh
made that we will be acually en
engaged in battles befoie nex
Monday mcrning, and men hav>
been found in very high places
who are advocating imtrediatt
action. The fighters want to g<
at once and blockade Havana and
bead off Spain. They say that
everybody is now agreed that we
are going tc war and they ask why
should there be any waiting upoi
Spain tor a final word?
OFFENSIVE Move,
While the Strategic Beard is as
mum as an oyster, it is known thai
it is figuiing out an offensive
rather than a defensive move. It
is said Spain wants us to fire th*
first shot, and we are very* likely
to do so. Captain Sigbee, of the
Maine, that be would like very
much to accommodate Sjiain.
A Difficulty.
“Perhaps one of the most diffloult
things to accomplish in coaching a foot
ball team,” says G. W. Woodruff in the
Philadelphia Press, “is to get the cap
tain to try for goals from the field on
first downs inside the 25 yard line He
feels so sure when once he has carried
the ball so near the line that his
team can carry it across for a touch
down that he dislikes exceedingly to
risk kicking the bull and thus putting
it into the possession of the other side.
Wi.en in the heat of the game be seems
utterly unable to realize that the sur
render is not for more than half a min
ute of actual playing time, because the
bull cannot be kicked out from behind
the 10 yard line much farther than to
the 35 or 40 yard line, and there is ev
ery probability that the man who catch
es it after the kick out will be able to
run it buck inside the 25 yard line with
the assistance of heavy interference
from the other players of his own side,
or if the ball is not kicked out farther
than the 30 yard line a fair catch can
almost surely be made, and the chances
of kicking a goal from the field after
■nob a catch are very great."
Does Two llun<lr..d Mrn’« Work.
The Arbuckles have a machine for
putting up coffee in two pound packages
It puts up 30,000 packages in 24 hours,
or at the rate of nearly 21 packages per
minute. Its work is equal to that of 200
persons working 12 hours per day ano
putting up a package in three minutes
The machine, with attendance, does the
work cheaper than any human labor on
earth, and we may fairly suppose that
every cup of coffee is the cheapen for it

The St. Louis Westliche Post j
is the leading German daily of
lhe Mississippi va.’ley, ami one
of the few German newspapers
in the United States.
Established in 1857, it soon
passed into the hands of Dr. Em
il Preetorious and the Hon. Chs.
Schurz. For 40 years the West
liche Post has shown the most
effective devotion to honorable
and progressive ideas.
Edward Preetorious, business
manager and treasurer, is a man
of distinction throughout the
Southwest, and is known to
many thousands in other por
tions of the country for his
broad business methods, and for
the commanding influence of his
journal in national, state and
city politics.
Mr. Preetorious is an indefa
tigueable worker. Subjected by
his profession to unusual busi
ness cares, overwork and sud
den demands upon his nervous
strength, his personal experience
and his estimate of Paine’s cel
ery compound must have excep
tional weight, especially with
brain workers, ami men and
women whose neives are inces
santly called on, as if they were
of iron and steel, and not the
most sensitive parts of the body.

below, shows his confidence in

This is to cite all persons con- ’

EDWARD L. PREETORIOUS.
'The relative merit and effici
ency o r Paine's celery compound,
in comparison with all other
remedies for making people well
is clearly shown in the intelli
gent character and responsible
standing of the p< ople who today
rely on it to cure insomnia, ner
vous debility, persistant head
aches and a rundown condition.
Its power of rapidly repairing
the tissues and cleansing the
bluod m ikes Paine’s celery coni
pound the great saver of life
that it is. It brings just the
needed nutriment to the weak
ened nerve tissues all over the
body, and increases the volume
of healthy blood, so that a
breakdown of some vital part is
averted.
'l'he story of the discovery
and unparallel d success of
Paine’s celery compound is the
story of a high purpose steadily
followed, lie final work of the
lifelong study of the nervous
system in health and disease by
Prof. Edward E. Phelps, M. D.,
LL. 1)., of the Dartmouth medi
cal faculty.
In this greatest of all remedies
there is hope for every person 1
distressed by symptoms of dys
pepsia, impure blood, failing
vigor or low nervous condition.
