THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR. NO. 28. Fashion Notes and Rumors The Fashionable 1906 Figure Change is in the air. It will be some time before my lady can don new spring gown and Easter bonnet, but she is already making preparation for this great event. Wherefore we would speak of what is to be worn. The "pony suit" surely will meet with high favor, the natty little coat, with no pretense of outlining the figure. Eton suits with short sleeves will continue in favor with not a few. The A POPULAR BOLERO. circular skirt will prevail, and pleated effects by no means be out of style. To still further anticipate, white linen suits will be much the fashion the coming summer, the bolero and Eton the jackets for these suits, a longer coat in wash goods rumpling and immediately looking untidy. We are promised another white season, white to be even more modish than last summer. The rain-coat, shorter than formerly, is by far the best garment of the kind that has been put out. These utility wraps come in fitted backs, in loose ripple backs, and may be in lengths varying from 50 to 58 inches. The materials are very handsome this season, and also the colors. In the spring, as a rule, every section of the As everyone that watches the styles is aware, there is no greater difference between city woman and country woman than the form. Of course this difference is brought about by dress, the cut of the garments and the disposition of the trimming. And today the city woman takes careful note of the waist-line. For some years back we have had the dip-belt craze. Of late the Empire style has gained ground. The happy mean between these two extremes is the all-round belt at the normal waist line, no dip down, no short-waisted encircling; but the present tendency is for the extreme Empire style. Nothing helps the dressmaker more, both skilled and unskilled, than the adaptable little bolero packet. With this abbreviated coat almost any line desired may be obtained for the wearer, be she stout or thin, long or short. The bolero is used not alone as a wrap, but also as part of a costume, and even the little shirt-waist suit may have a simulated bolero. The model here illustrated is typical; one readily sees how the waist line may be changed to suit the passing fancy. For a stout person a slight dip in front may be used. Weddings of princesses always affect the fashions, and now the trousseau prepared for the young sister of the king of Spain has brought forward the beautiful old Spanish laces. One of the trousseau costumes is an Empire gown of Spanish lace. Heavy Armenian embroidery on a thin gauze ground is a novelty in trimming, a very pretty one. A touch of color will be seen on everything. And the various embroideries now brought forth give this touch in a most acceptable way. Sky-blue, which we have not seen for ages, promises to be in high favor, just a morsel of In Union There is Strength. country is treated to goody showers, and a rain coat is almost an essential; then it comes in very handy to take along on summer travels and summer outings. Among the most attractive materials now on display are the rough weaves in silks. They come both plain and figured, and make up nicely for suits, for separate skirts and for waists. We feel tempted to make use with reference to them of the much-abused word "artistic." For spring nothing could be more charming than a silver gray in the rough or semi-rough weave. Some of the grays show a fine hair-line of black, the line so fine that at a distance the goods appear but the one color. Japanese silks make up very nicely for the styles now in vogue, and these are inexpensive as well as pretty. Wash-silk waists are highly recommended for spring and summer wear. Japanese and China silks are coming into common use as foundations and linings, clinging effects now so well liked. Little loose coats of bengaline silk, elaborately trimmed with braid, promise to be the height of fashion; and such a wrap as this is really most convenient for warm weather wear. In spite of predictions to the contrary, the dress spring coat will as a rule have short sleeves and probably be collarless. Linen embroideries on coats of wool or silk will be a feature, and a very charming feature, of spring fashions; the ground of these trimmings cream colored or cern, the embroidery in soft, rich colors. And with reference to the black silk coats, one may use almost any style of silk, remodel very acceptably from old material in the house—so many different black silks now in use, all the way from crisp taffeta to soft peau de soie. Wedgewood blue—certainly an exquisite shade—promises to supplant other blues as the very best style. Soft illac tons are in favor, in spite of the way in which they were made so common the past winter. The oldrose shades continue in fashion, and delicately-toned backgrounds for hairlines will appear with the first pleasant days of the spring. Soft, indistinct plaids will be worn, these so much more attractive than startling contrasts. this bright hue made use of. And the peacock blues and greens will continue to be the fashion. This spring will certainly be a season of color, the coming summer a white season. For evening and elaborate afternoon affairs the flounced skirt will be worn, net and lace the materials used for these frocks. The sleeves are made to match the skirt, just a succession of frills. An addition to my lady's stock of furbelows is the neglege skirt, a moss of fluffy frills. China silk makes a charming neglege petticoat, and has the advantage of laundering nicely—these should be light-colored, and will need be of such stuff as will bear tubbing. Worn with an open tea gown or matinee sack they are very charming and luxurious—and really need not cost a fortune. A petticoat not quite so frivolous as the above is a black and white striped taffeta trimmed with rows of black ribbon edging circular flounces. For the lingerie petticoat, the season's new models show lace combined with embroidery, a rather elaborate trimming, but on the whole very attractive. ELLEN OSMONDE. SIGNS ARE MISTAKABLE. As Is Illustrated in This Truthful Little Story of a Boastful Detective. A young detective at a public meeting was anxious to display his powers of shrewd perception to a friend who was with him. "Do you see that shabby-looking man over there, who has been furtively watching me all the time?" he said. "That fellow is after no good. He evidently suspects who I am, or he would probably be engaged in trying the pockets of his neighbors. Do you notice his shifty eyes and his restless movements? They are unmistakable signs of the thief. I mean to keep my eye on him, or somebody will be the poorer." The young man's friend listened with respectful attention, and watched with some curiosity the movements of the suspected man. To their surprise he took advantage of a lull in the proceedings to approach them. "Excuse me," he said courteously, to the detective, "but your diamond scarf-pin has fallen out of your tie. I have been watching it work its way out for the last ten minutes, but could not warn you before, and have been quite nervous about it." And as he stooped to recover his property the young detective blush-ly reflected on the deceitfulness of appearances. Up to Nature. First Artist—Get any ideas, old man? Second Artist—Well, I guess yes. Got a bang-up sketch of a cyclone in action. "What in thunder can you do with a cyclone?" "Do with it? What do you suppose? I'm going to use it for the hair in my new portrait of the American girl."—Puck. Seasonable. Patience—What color do you think would go with my turkey-red dress? Patrice—Why, crushed cranberry, of course.—Yonkers Statesman. CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1906. Mississippi Afro-Americans Have that Number. WARD, CALLOWAY, BATESAND TAYLOR Two Win Oratorical Contests—Receives $7,150 a year—Lost All Her Wealth—Bobby Dobbs Wins—Turned Nearly Dr. Henry W. Furniss' salary as United States minister to Haiti is $1,500 a year. Now is the time to subscribe for The Gazette. Tell all your friends and acquaintances. Mississippi Afro-Americans have two banks at Vicksburg and one each at Greenville, Indianola, Hattiesburg, Jackson and Mound Bayou. An Afro-American student from the University of Wisconsin won the birthday anniversary oratorical contest before the Hamilton club of Chicago. Mrs. Laura Avett, the wealthiest Afro-American woman in southern Indiana, died January 15 at Princeton. She was an ex-slave and has a brother and sister living at Oberlin. Bobby Dobbs, who has been living in England for a long time, pulled off another victory at Cardiff, Wales, recently. He won over George Roach on a foul in eight rounds. Dobbs has been doing great work as a boxing teacher across the pond. Samuel Taylor graduated from Shortridge high school, Indianapolis, Ind., entered upon his freshman year with the oratorical honors of the Inter-state debate. He has the distinction of being the first Afro-American to do so. H. T. Calloway, of New Orleans, has established a mail order tailoring business in Chicago, with offices for gentlemen and ladies, and is doing a large business in the south and southwest, giving employment to 16 Afro-American traveling men. He ships over 5,000 suits a year. Stephen Bates, an Afro-American, has been chief of police and city sheriff of Vergennes, Vt., for 26 consecutive years. He was born of free parents at Shirley, Va., nearly 64 years ago. Bates is a very intelligent man, entirely self-taught, and occupies a high place in the estimation of tl community where he lives. In one little town in South Carolina, with a population of 1,400 all told, there are 14 colored churches alone, to say nothing of the number of white churches. And the morals of that village are as bad as they are any other place in the state. Fewer churches means better support and more Christianity—Xenia O. (O. Standard). Cornelius Vanderbilt Washington, a farmer living near Miss, has become wise. He had a strange habit of 12 years ago and began turning white, and with the exception of small spots on his body his skin is entirely white. His hair and other distinct characteristics remain. He is 45 years of age. Others near Durant are becoming spotted and it is believed they will also turn white. The Co-operative Tropical Fruit Co., which owns a 10,000-acre banana plantation in Honduras, C. A., has completed arrangements with Booker T. Washington to employ 5,000 southern Afro-Americanians. The president of the company says they are adapted to the kind of work. This is the first practical effort of the kind in favor of the Afro-American from a purely business standpoint. J. D. Ward, of Indianapolis, Ind., is said to be a master architect, a high class artificer and commands a great business in the most careful construction of plans for fine buildings. He is an acknowledged authority on all technical points. A well known Indianapolis contractor said recently: "I consider Ward an architect of the first water because I have handled his plans with so great a success that I think capable of most anything in architecture." Mrs. Douglass, of Quincy, Ill., a widow of a soldier who received a pension, was a member of the A. M. E. church there and several secret societies. She lost her wealth as a result of giving her money and property while ill into the hands of an evil-minded white man, who did not even attend her funeral or hire a nurse to attend her while sick. Rev. Giles, pastor of Bethel church, visited her a few hours before her death and found her alone. She begged him to have her removed to a hospital. "Do not let me die like a dog," she cried.

State Fire Marshal and Chairman of the Cuyahoga Republican Executive Committee—Former Mayor of a Southern Ohio City—A Friend of the Race. We give above an excellent portrait of Hon. H. D. Davis whose miserable treatment by an alleged republican daily paper of this city was detailed at length in our last issue. It was our intention to give Mr. Davis' portrait in connection with that publication but were unable to do so. Ever since his advent into the city some eight or ten years ago from Hillsboro, O., where he had served two terms as mayor, Mr. Davis and the editor of The Gazette have been good friends, and we were pleased very much indeed to be able to give in our last issue his letter branding as "A Bare-Faced Lie," the alleged interview of the administrative local daily paper in which he was asked to indorse southern disfranchisement. It was so very pleasing to be able to publish a statement which pledged anew in no uncertain terms a continuance of his life-long friendship for and interest in the race. Hy is the "right sort" and will be so regarded by our people of this city in spite of the Cleveland Leader's contemptible interview and mistreatment. THEIR ANNUAL DINNER.

Columbus, O.—In 1887 the legislature passed an act, establishing, in connection with Wilberfore university, a combined normal and industrial department. One-half of the money appropriated by the state was to go to the university, which was not a state institution, for the use of its buildings and other property. The other half—$2,500—was to be devoted to the work of training teachers. 2 (IN ADVANCE.)

Cleveland, Saturday, Feb. 10, 1906. THE GAZETTE is the oldest, and has the largest bona fide circulation, double that of any newspaper in the interest of Afro-Americans, published in the state of Ohio, and comparison with any will immediately establish its rank as one of the NEWSIEST AND BEST in the country. CRAZY TOM DIXON. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, O., SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1906. says, are now favoring amalgamation of the races. He feigns to be alarmed for American civilization and in pitious whining declares that at the instance of Bishop Gallor, of Tennessee, he has been importted to lend his influence to save southern civilization from the corruption of the Negro. What imbecility! What blindness in the man, that the growing wealth, the broad intelligence, the culture and high civilization of a grand and powerful race are to deteriorate and become corrupted by a people, the creatures of one blood and of God's own creation. But Dixon offers no protest against the clandestine meeting of southern white men with southern colored women. He sees no shame in the evil of such unlawful cohabitation. He finds no time to impose restraints upon those who violate laws. Without one plea for justice or the mutual maintenance of the moral law and the brotherhood of man, he wages a relentless fight against those to whom he is called to rescue and to save Blind to every sense of duty and honor as a citizen and a man, and having no concern as to the interior workings of the nation and the mighty evils of religious caste, of idolatry and Godlessness, he beats the wind and spreads the deadly leprosy of social disease, discord, disaster and desolation among the people.

His "Pierre" Hogs the Best—The Finest on Sioux City Market—En. couraging. Fairbanks, S. D. The following is from the Sioux City Journal of Saturday: "Interest at the stock yards yesterday was centered in a load of hogs received from 31 miles north of Pierre, S. D. They were shipped by B. P. Blair, a progressive (Afro-American) farmer of Hughes county. A more flattering compliment could not be paid to this apparently new industry of that section than the fact that these hogs commanded the top of the market. This was the second load of hogs to be shipped out of Pierre, the other load being sent out by Mrs. P. F. McClure last September. This consignment of hogs plainly indicates that the corn belt is constantly moving west and north. It was a surprise to those in the trade that such excellent quality and finish as were displayed in this load of hogs could come from this section. "These were Poland China hogs and crossed the scales at a weight of 300 pounds per head and sold at $5.22$ per 100 pounds, netting Mr. Blair in the neighborhood of $16 each. John J. Murphy, who bought them for the Cudahy Packing Co., ventured to say that they were the best hogs received for the day, and that he was confident they would dress out a large per cent., as they were well fattened and as hard as it is possible to make a nocker. "Mr. Blair was pleased that he landed at the top of the market. He said that during the capital campaign, when there was a great deal of mud slinging, it was asserted that nothing could be raised in the vicinity of Pierre. He wished that those who thought this true could have been at his farm this fall during harvesting time. He had in 50 acres of corn, on which these hogs were fattened, that went 45 to 60 bushels to the acre; he had 100 acres of wheat from which he threshed 2,200 bushels; his oats averaged 80 to 90 bushels to the acre, and he had 100 acres of spelt that panned the soil. He said that he raised this grain, he said that he grew a large amount of all kinds of garden truck. Mr. Blair said that a number of his neighbors were raising hogs and meeting with great success. He also runs a brand of cattle. What he turned off last fall he sold at home, but he had a shipment of range cattle during the 1904 season on the Sioux City market."

Seventeen speeches were made all of them for the measure. The senate did not have an opportunity to vote on the resolution on the action of the democratic caucus as was partially promised, but gave the entire day to a debate of the prerogatives of the senate in the matter of framing treaties MISCELLANEOUS.

Wolfe, Once a Teacher in a Mormon College, Gives Evidence to Senators. Washington, Feb. 8. —Exposure of Mormon polygamous marriages and of the secret oath of vengeance taken in the "Endowment House" at Salt Lake City were made Wednesday by Prof. Walter M. Wolfe, formerly professor in Brigham Young college at Logan, Utah, but now an apostate of the church because a month ago he refused longer to comply with the demand for tithes. His testimony was taken before the senate committee hearing evidence against the seating of Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, which has already continued intermittently through two sessions of congress and will probably drag along until the end of the present session. "After times," answered Prof. Wolfe when asked how many times he had been through the endowment house or temple, he explained, as the endowment house was torn down many years ago. "Did you take any oath when you went through?" asked Mr. Carlisle. "Every time," he replied. Asked to detail him, he said there had been obligations of charity, sacrifice and vengeance. "What do you mean by vengeance?" asked Mr. Carlisle. "Do you mean there was promise or pledge given to avenge something?" The witness then said that this oath had been taken: "You and each of you do covenant and pray, and never cease to pray God to avenge the blood of the prophet on this nation." Mr. Worthington asked concerning the oaths in the temple and the witness said he believed that in the obligation of vengeance, the "seed of treason is planted." He said he realized that the oath and had taken it only once for himself. The other 11 times, he said, had been for dead persons. An effort was made by Mr. Worthington to procure an unqualified answer as to whether there was anything in the endowment house ceremony which would interfere with anyone taking it serving in the United States senate, and whether such person's duties to the law correspond to the witness declaration that every Mormon's first duty is to the Church of Latter Day Saints. A FATAL POTION One Soldier Dead, Another Dying and Eight Others Made III by Drinking Wood Alcohol. New York, Feb. 8.—From drinking too freely of wood alcohol which had been smuggled into Castle William, the military prison on Governor's island, one soldier is dead, another is dying and eight are seriously ill in the hospital. Gen. Grant, in command of the Department of the East, has ordered a rigid investigation. Robert Elwell, 26 years old, a private serving a two years' sentence for desertion from a New England post, was the first to show the effects of the alcohol. Early yesterday he aroused the entire castle with cries of "Help. I am burning up. Will nobody help me? I am burning up." When the guard reached his side he was wrenching in pain, shrieking and crying to the hospital and the post surgeon was summoned. Restoratives failed and he died in a few minutes. Scarcely had his cries ceased when screams came from the cell occupied by Richard Sullivan, a private, also 26 years old, who is serving a short term for desertion. Sullivan was removed to the hospital and at a late hour was reported unconscious with little prospect of recovery. It was soon discovered a found writing and moaning from pain that the real source of the trouble was learned. TOO MUCH RED TAPE. Ex-Engineer Wallace Says that Work on Panama Canal is Impeded by it. Washington, Feb. 8.—John F. Wallace, former chief engineer of the isthman canal commission, yesterday concluded his testimony before the senate canal committee.

Our people of Cleveland as a rule mean to patronize their own business men women all they can and Theette women to call their attention to Gilbert C. Price's advertisement elsewhere in this paper. When you want a carriage or vehicle of any kind or desire to stable horses, patronize him. Remember his place. He has both 'phones. Rev. R. W. Bagnall, of Croome, Md., rector of an Episcopal church and principal of an industrial school, arrived last week Saturday and preached ably at St. Andrew's mission Sunday. He is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Daw, of Beechwood street, while in the city. Mr. Bagnall dined with the editor of The Gazette Tuesday. He is a progressive young minister.

Mrs. Lamanda Robertson died Tuesday at the same place, aged 32 years, and Mr. Acy Morgan died there Sunday week. His body was shipped to Middletown by Messrs. Gee & Wills. The Amity club, a wide awake social organization of young folk, held a very interesting social at Fred Wells' on Tuesday evening. The missing man proved to be Robert Crowler, found by Henry Thurman, for which he received a pretty burnt wood box, the burning and painting being done by Norman Talbert. Elles Nelson drew a picture guessing the nearest correct number of sugar, bowl which she received. The council Monday evening discussed the proposition to appropriate $5,000 for the municipal ash-hailing scheme. After a spirited debate led by Councilman Hirstus of the 12th ward the ordinance was passed 20 to 12 after which Vice-Mayor Chas. Lapp immediately vetoed it. It will require 23 votes to pass the ordinance over the veto of the vice-mayor which cannot be secured. This insures the defeat of the scheme unless more converts are made. Preparatory to leaving for the De Trop ball the I. O. u. Club which needs 15 more persons to make up the quota necessary to run a special car to Akiron will give a series of private dancing lessons at home of members, starting Tuesday evening at Mrs. Mary French's, 50 Livingstone street; Mable Raymer and Hattie Gray, piano; L.

Montgomery, Taylor, placed new gas fixtures in the parsonage last week. Rev. and Mrs. Collins feels very proud of them and are thankful. The L婆婆envolent club met at Mrs. William Crowler's last Thursday afternoon. The meeting was both enjoyable and beneficial. The society is rapidly increasing. Five new members were taken in at this meeting. Already appeals are coming in from the needy and sick and the committee is investigating. The ladies are amusing and a mannequin in a futuristic Mrs. Crowler served lunch and the club adjourned to meet at Mrs. Pettiford's, 52 Mayflower street, next Thursday at 2:30 p. m. Rev. I. A. Collins preached an able sermon Sunday morning at St. John's church. He also baptized the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. James Smith "James Leroy Smith"; the infant son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Anderson, "Wm. Lazelle Anderson." Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Anderson and Miss Sadle Green, of Salem, joined church in full membership; Pearl Holmes and Mary Russell on probation. Sunday was both missionary and decision day in the Sunday school, $6.54 being raised for missions. There were 241 scholars present of which 26 unsaved decided for Christ. The orchestra was out in full force and greatly augmented the singing. The officers of St. Andrew's mission were in attendance, and Revs. H. O. Bowles, of Toledo, and R. W. Bagnall of Croome, Md., were in the procession, at the consecration of Dean Williams to the Episcopal bishopric of Michigan, Wednesday at St. Paul's church, possibly the wealthiest in the city. At noon the two Afro-American priests lunched with the bishops and others in attendance upon the affair, in St Paul's parish house. In the evening Rev. Bagnall attended the banque tendered Bishop Williams at the Century club. On Sunday at 10:30 a.m. Rev. Bowles will preach and administer Holy Communion at St. Andrews and at 3 p. m. Rev. Bagnall will conduct choral services and preach Sunday school at 12 o'clock noon. Max S. Hayes' Sensible Talk. Henry T. Eubanks' effort, one evening last week to "square himself" with the local labor unions caused a "peck of trouble" for at least one member of the organization and that one was President McIntyre, of the Trades and Labor Council. It seems that Eubanks had asked to address the body in his own defense. A protest against granting his request from Electrical Workers union No. 38 was read just before his arrival. This organization was not friendly to organized labor. Pres McIntyre its delegate to the Trades council and although he delivered an address, protesting bitterly against permitting Eubanks to speak, handed in his resignation, declared the meeting adjourned and left the hall, the Trades and Labor council remained in session to hear Eubanks' talk. McIntyre seemed alone in his action. The strong point of Eubanks' address was the statement that some unions drew a colorful portrait of the workers, why more of our men were not members of trades unions. In reply to this statement Delegate Max S. Hayes said: "While in some unions the color line is drawn, the American Federation of Labor prohibits the drawing of the color line. The line is not generally drawn by the printers. There was never a time when we tried to prevent Negroes from being union men. Thousands of mine workers are colored men. The same is true of the building laborers and other crafts in the building industry. In this central city, we have had colored men here as delegates ever since the trades council was formed. "When a union takes action to keep out men because of their color it tends to injure that union. It is absolutely immaterial whether their faces are black or white. I believe we are going to continue in that line regardless of petty jealousies." Hurrah! for Max S. Hayes. "That's the talk." It's ring is correct and right. In the phrase "his address," IBG states that he didn't know of any circulars that had been sent down to Columbus against Eubanks to defeat him for the position of assistant agent-at-arms. "I protest against such ward heeling methods," he said. "I always have been against them and always will. I am sure the circulars were not sent by the United Trades and Labor council." Fred B. Hobby of the Walters' union and Business Agent Lloyd of the barbershops drew no color line and gave instants to prove their contention. We hope Messrs. Hobby and Lloyd are quite correct in their statements. Up to date we have been lead to believe that neither the Watters' nor Barbers' unions would accept Afro-Americans as members, although nearly every other race of people upon the face of the earth were represented in their memberships.

Each building will contain lilies and will contain 510 rooms, larger and more sanitary than the most stringent laws demand. The low figure of $1.35 a month for each room will be charged. The apartments contain from two to four rooms each. Private baths are planned for 60 per cent. of the apartments. Gas ranges will be in all of them; steam heat, store rooms, shower baths, spacious laundries, killergardens; play grounds, playgrounds; and a large, foot wider than required by law, windows eight to ten inches in excess of legal demands, and a host of other innovations are provided.

McGovernne Manager "Talks Sense." Chicago, Ill.—I tell you, there is nothing in drawing the color line, Who were the three greatest fighters at their weight in this country at one time but the three colored men, Geo. Dixon, Joe Gans and Joe Walcott? "We don't care what Nelson will do. If we win on March 14, we will give Joe Gans a chance; but he must weigh in at 133 pounds ringside. Why should Terry give this man at least 11 or 12 pounds the best of it? As it is, Gans will have the best of the weight by 7 pounds when he consents to weigh in at 133 pounds ringside. As long as McGovern is in my charge, he will not be forced to give too much away." Thus spoke Terry McGovern's sensible manager a few days ago. WHEN GOING TO PITTSBIL I should say, select the R. R. that has the greatest number of fast trains, has the shortest line from Cleveland and the road that has trains every day, not daily except Sunday, and the road that uses safety block signals, has double track all the way, that charges only 50c for a parlor car seat, that runs a cafe club car, in which you only pay for what you order. If I took a sleeping car I would not wish to pay more than $1.50 for a double berth, for the prices of cars page through Youngstown and along the banks of the picturesque Beaver and Ohio Rivers into Pittsburg City. Then it's the Erie R. R. that I select, for it gives me the above and even more, with seven trains every day. They sell tickets at No. 9 Euclid avenue, in the city of Cleveland. Gans vs. Britt. Baltimore, Md.-Joe Gans, who is home from San Francisco, issued recently the following statements regarding Battling Nelson and Jimmy Britt: "Neither Britt nor Nelson can wriggle out of a match on account of the weight question. I am willing to box Britt at 133 pounds, weigh in at 6 o'clock, winner take all or any part of the money. "If Britt refuses to accept my challenge, I will take on Nelson at any time agreeable." Britt has accepted and the two will long "get together" in a 20-round bout. Very Low Homesekers Rates Via Nickel Plate Road. West, northwest, southwest and south.

During the year 1904 Slam exported more than $12,000,000 worth of rice. Teak wood is second in value. According to a recent report from Tokio, there are 1,786 wholesale and 235,414 retail tobacco dealers in Japan. The annual value of the mineral products of Germany is about $250,-000,000. Coal and iron are the most important. Prof. T. J. J. See, of Washington, has determined the height of the atmosphere by a new system, which consists in noting the time of sunset and that of the complete disappearance of the blue of the sky. It is stated that the best managers, pattern designers and dyers in the Lancashire cotton mills, tempted by high wages, are going out to India and Japan to take charge of mills there. Great quantities of textile machinery are also being exported. WESTERN CANADA'S MARVELOUS RETURNS. The increase in the crop returns of the Canadian West, in the past seven years, has approached the marvelous, and there is no reason to believe that a corresponding increase will not result for many years to come. The increase has been particularly noticeable in what was formerly known as the Northwest Territories, but which, on September 1, 1905, became the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. From the official returns we find the following results in the acreage sown to wheat, oats and barley in the years mentioned, and a more favorable showing cannot be pointed to in any other country during a like period. | Wheat. | Oats. | Barley. | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1898 ... 307,580 | 105,077 | 17,092 | | 1899 ... 363,523 | 134,938 | 14,276 | | 1900 ... 412,864 | 175,439 | 17,044 | | 1901 ... 504,697 | 229,439 | 24,702 | | 1902 ... 625,758 | 310,367 | 36,445 | | 1903 ... 837,234 | 440,662 | 68,974 | | 1904 ... 965,549 | 523,634 | 88,154 | | 1905 ... | | | The yield has been uniformly good every year except 1900, when there appears to have been a slump all along the line. This, however, was more than compensated for in the following year, when the bumper crop in wheat, oats and barley put the returns of all previous years completely in the shade and gave an impetus to settlement in the west which has prevailed to the present, as the following table by bushels will show: | Wheat | Oats | Barley | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1898 ... 5,542,478 | 3,040,307 | 449,512 | | 1899 ... 6,915,623 | 4,686,036 | 337,521 | | 1900 ... 4,028,294 | 4,226,152 | 355,216 | | 1901 ... 12,808,447 | 11,113,063 | 755,100 | | 1902 ... 13,956,850 | 10,661,295 | 970,417 | | 1903 ... 16,029,149 | 14,179,705 | 1,842,824 | | 1904 ... 16,875,537 | 16,332,551 | 2,205,434 | It will be seen that the number of acres sown to wheat, oats and barley in 1898 was 429,749, and that this had increased in 1904 to 1,587,337. The total crop in the cereals mentioned was 9,033,297 bushels in 1898, and in 1904 it had grown to the magnificent total of 35,413,522. In the year just closed the "forward movement" in the agriculture of the west has been the wonder and envy of the world. New sections of the country have been placed under tribute to the plow and harrow, and the grain area has been largely increased. This is particularly the case where it has been demonstrated that "Alberta Red" winter wheat may be successfully grown, and along the lines of the new railways towards the center of the country, where mixed farming prevails. The future of the Canadian West is assured, and for years to come it is bound to be the land of promise to the agriculturist of every nation and of every clime, and the land of opportunity to every settler within its bounds.

King Edward has offered an appropriately bound and inscribed Bible to the Protestant Episcopal church at Williamsburg, Va., the second oldest church in the United States, in commemoration of the three hundredth anniversary of the establishment of the Church of Virginia.

WINTER WEAKNESS WINTER WEAKNESS Dr. Williams' Pink Pills the Tonic That Most People Need for Blood and Nerves. In winter the air of the close rooms in which we spend so much of the time does not furnish enough oxygen to the lungs to burn out the foul matter in the blood. In the cold season we do not exercise as much and the skin and kidneys do not throw off the waste matter as freely as usual. The system becomes overloaded with poisonous matter, and too feeble to throw it off. Relief can be had only through the use of a remedy that will promptly and thoroughly purify and strengthen the blood, and the one best adapted for this purpose is the great blood tonic known as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "They acted like magic in my case," said Mrs. Clara L. Wilde, of No. 377 Farnsworth avenue, Detroit, Mich. "I was weak and thin and could not sleep. My stomach and nerves were out of order. I can't describe how miserable I really was. I dragged through six months of foodness, growing weaker than until I finally had 'stunghood' enough to leave my bed. "Then a glad day came, the day when I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. They made me feel strong right away. My appetite came back. I took on dish soap and shampoo. People wondered that these pills did for me what the doctors couldn't do. I took only six boxes and then I was perfectly well. If I had not found this wonderful remedy I surely think that I must have wasted to death. Believing firmly that I should not die, which they gave me at a critical moment, I unhesitably recommend them to others." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain no stimulant but give strength that lasts.

"My little son, when about a year and a half old, began to have sores come out on his face. I had a physician treat him, but the sores grew worse. Then they began to come out of his body, and then one came on his chest, worse than the others. Then I called another physician. Still he grew worse. At the end of about a year and a half of suffering he grew so bad that he could not keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton, and was hardly able to walk. My Aunt advised me to try Custin's store and got a cake of the Soap and a box of the Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any kind since. He is now strong and healthy, and he has had a most wonderful remedies my precious child would have died from those terrible sores. Ms. Egbert Sheldon.

Nervous Women Their Sufferings Are Usually Due to Female Disorders Perhaps Unsuspected A MEDICINE THAT CURES Can we dispute the well-known fact that American women are nervous? How often doe hear the expression, "I am so nervous, it seems as if I should fly" or, "Do not fight to me," Little things Can we dispute the well-known fact that American women are nervous? How often doe hear the expression, "I am so nervous, it seems as if I should fly" or, "Don't speak to me." Little things annoy you and make you irritable, you can't sleep. you are unable to quietly and calmly perform your daily tasks or care for your children. The relation of the nerves and generative organs in woman is so close that nine-tenth of the nervous prostration, nervous debility, the blues, sleeplessness and nervous irritability arise from some derangement of the organism which makes the woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, woman, irritability, spiritis easily affected, so that one minute she laughs, the next minute weeps; pain in the abdominal region and between the shoulders; loss of voice; nervous dyspepsia; a tendency to cry at the least provocation—all these point to nervous prostration.
