A NEW LAW FIRM. A new law firm, colored, named Thompson, Wright & Holt has been organized, and opened their office last week at 507 Mulberry street: They practice in all the courts of Iowa and make a specialty of loans, real estate, insurance and collections. But few if any law firms have started in with such flattering prospects. They are all young men, all Iowains, all educate in Iowa, and have lived in Iowa all their lives. John L. Thompson is well known throughout the state as an editor and orator. He was born and educated in the common and public schools of Decatur county; a graduate from Iowa Business College and Iowa College of Law, a branch of Drake University. Herbert R. Wright was born and educated in Marshalltown and took a full law course in the State University, where he graduated this spring. He is a good speaker, and was file clerk of the Twenty-fifth General Assembly. Geo. I. Holt was born and educated in Keokuk, a graduate of Keokuk High School. He came to our city more than 12 years ago and soon entered the U. S. mail service as carrier, and is working in that capacity now. Between working hours he found time enough to attend the Iowa College of Law (Drake University) where he graduated in the class of 1896. He also graduated from the Des Moines Musical Conservatory, under Bartlett, and is a fine musician and a good speaker. Any one having legal business give them a call. HON. A. B. CUMMINS FOR GOVERNOR. As the State Republican convention draws nigh the contest for gubernational honors becomes more heated, yet our choice is our own candidate, Albert B. Cummins. He is without a doubt the people's choice, as the various county conventions are fast demonstrating that fact by their instruction and endorsments. Up to this date there has been 1254 delegates selected, of which Mr. Cummins has 656, Mr. Trewin 110, Mr. Harriett 71, Maj. Conger 30, Mr. Herriman 141, and there are 246 uninstructed. Thus it can readily be seen that Mr. Cummins is the people's choice, even though he should be defeated of the nomination at the Cedar Rapids convention, which is hardly possible. Mr. Cummins represents the highest and best type of honest republicanism and stands for equal and just assessments between common labor, common masses and organized capital. He stands above little petty things in politics and for that higher, broader, nobler principles of universal equality of all classes. There is an element in the republican party of Iowa that has dictated to the public men of Iowa; finding that they cannot controle Mr. Cummins they are now endeavoring to defeat him. Mr. Cummins is one of the ablest and finest lawyers in Iowa, one of Iowa's most polished orators and refined gentlemen and will make an ideal governor. A VIEW OF SOUTH-WESTERN IOWA. While one who travels this warm weather may find little to interest the careful observer. yet this part of Iowa with its inducements and opportunities have not been fully spoken about in our paper. Arriving in Creston, where the blue grass palace once held, is a town of 8,000 inhabitants. On the prairie of Union county are about 150 colored people, most of whom are doing well. Mr. Chas. Clark deals in real estate and loans money. Mrs. Eliza A. Signor has the only labor and employment office, rooms 5 and 6, Reynolds and Pilgrim's block on Main street. She enjoys a good business. Mr. H. Martin conducts a restaurant and is doing well. Mr. Chas. Burnaug has some good and valuable property and is getting along nicely. He is a brother of George of Des Moines. In Clarinda there are about 300 colored people. They have two churches; a Methodist and Baptist; also a band of 16 pieces, managed by E. B. Cook, which is doing nicely. Dr. Gipson is a very successful business man. He is a registered Veterinary Surgeon and is the only colored man that is a member of the State Association. He has a large practice, and also conducts a feed and coal office, and owns a restaurant and the property on which it stands. He is doing a prosperous business. Mrs. R. E. Wilkinson conducts a boarding and rooming house. They formerly lived in Essex, Iowa and Mr. Wilkinson was employed by the Adams Express Company for several years to drive the express wagon, now he is employed by an ice company to deliver Ice. He is an intelligent and successful man. Mr. Allen Jones and Father Thomas owns a first class blacksmith shop. They have been in business for several years. Mr. Thomas does not work in the shop but lives on his farm west of town. Mr. Robert Banks, a teamster and gardener, owns considerable property and has most of it in fruit, such as strawberries, peaches, cherries, plums, apples, etc.; he is a rustler. The Clarinda Poultry Company employs several of our girls and boys to work for them. There are several prosperous colored farmers in Page county, but we are unable to give their names now. In Red Oak there are but few colored people, yet they seem to be doing well. Mr. Joseph Burton is a highly respected plaster. G. W. Duncan conducts a barber shop, also Oscar Conner, who at one time lived in Des Moines, he is having a good trade. Messrs. Morgan, Venerable and Reed are good and respected citizens of Red Oak. We went to Cooncil Bluffs and Omahà, but we were in those cities such a short time that we cannot give a good account of the colored people, consequently will not attempt it this time. Tennessee Zinc Mines. Operations have begun in the zinc mines near Fall Branch, in Tennessee, where a furnace will be operated. The zinc deposit is extensive, and one of the richest ever mined in that state. London & Dixon Co., GROCERS, 923 Center St. 5c Cigars will be sold at 2 for 5c. 10c Cigars at 5c each. We have Star, J.

They say he is too popular. H. D. Woods, M. Mills, Chas. Bradford and Wm. Smith, members of King Solomon Commandery, came down on Thursday to take part in the parade and to attend the banquet in the evening. cago. Mrs. Holbrook of Wilton spent Su day here visiting friends. Wesley White, Jr., of Burlington in the city. Bert Powell of Davenport is wor ing in the city. Edward Groones came home si from work Monday afternoon. He somewhat better at this writing. Mrs. Bickley of Virginia is visiti her sister Mrs. Martin Lee. —POP ON ICE.— The Hon. Geo. E. Taylor and wife of Hilton attended the Masonic banquet. Mrs. James Johnson and the Misses Davis and Harris of Ottumwa attended the social on Wednesday evening and the banquet Thursday evening. The visitors were all delighted with Albia lodge and the good people of Albia for the royal manner in which they entertained them. B. J. Fuller of Fairfield was a grand lodge visitor. King Solomon commandery looked well. About 25 Sir Knights were in the paarade. The returns show that Muchakinock has more members than any lodge in the state, and that Des Moines sends the largest representation of any lodge in the state. The next annual session will be in Keoluk. George Sutter says the Marshall-town lodge as shown by the return has more money in their treasury than has any lodge in the jurisdiction. J. H. Shepard, A. A. Bland and E. T. Banks are the committee on foreign correspondence and the chairman is anxious to exchange with all grand lodges. Geo. Taylor says he did enjoy himself looking after the boys from Des Moines. The A. M. E. church choir furnished the music at the Memorial services. The singing was good. One of the most spirited contests during the session was the naming of the place where the grand lodge would hold its next session. Cedar Rapids, Buxton, Des Moins and Keokuk were all asking for it, each delegate claiming that their city ought to have the honor of entertaining the grand lodge. On the second ballot Keokuk was chosen and the people there will surely show the delegates a good time. Let every one attend the next session. Mrs. J. W. Hulett, formerly of this city, but of Des Moines, came down on Tuesday and had a delightful time. It was regretted that R. N. Hyde, J. L. Thompson and J. H. Shepard could not stay through the entire session. Some of the boys grew eloquent in discussing the insurance proposition, which became a law and will no doubt be in good working order by the next session of the grand lodge. A. A. Bland, the veteran craftman in this state, was the only representative from the Gate City. Geo. Sutter is grand lecturer. There is something to be learned by attending these sessions. There are men here who know Masonry and Masonic law and have he ability to tell it. Our new secretary was carried away by the music at the banquet. Mrs. U. S. Jones entertained a number of the Des Moines delegates at dinner on Tuesday. The grand lodge has shown its good judgment by re-electing the grand master, deputy grand master and grand treasurer. They have done their work well. The delegates have also seen that it is detrimental to use it for a machine to make grand officers. When they get good men they should keep them. CLARINDA.

Anderson assisted Mrs. Jones in receiving. All departed declaring Mr. and Mrs. Jones royal entertainers. The P. E. C. gave a social on the A. M. E. church lawn last Thursday evening. There is not a church in the city with as beautiful lawn as this church and all its socials meet with success. The M. M. S. met Thursday afternoon at the A. M. E. church. Ingenuity. The following ingenious mode of crossing a river was once displayed by a kaffir, who had for some time stood watching the vain attempts of a party of soldiers to cross the stream at a time when to ford it was attended by considerable danger. After smiling at their efforts with that sardonic expression remarkable among these savages, he quietly raised a heavy stone, placed it on his head and then walked, with perfect ease, through the torrent to the opposite side. Sober Second Thought Tom—"Was it hard to tell Miss Autumnal you loved her?" Jack—"Not half so hard as it was to explain matters after I got sober."—Chicago News. If we could only look at our own troubles as philosophically as we do at those of others happiness would come easy. York in Australia. Western Australia has in York a well-known pastoral district which bears a peculiarly appropriate name in association with the visit to Australasia of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York. It was first peopled by immigrants mainly from Yorkshire.

The meeting arranged for today was postponed because it was apparent that the proceedings would be fruitless. It was at the meeting of July 11 that the ministers reached something in the nature of an agreement as to the indemnity. But almost immediately a radical difference developed between Great Britain and Russia to the details of the plan of payment. All the ministers were in accord with the scheme set in June, subject to the great realities of their government of Great Britain. She disapproved the arrangement on the ground that it did not adequately protect her commercial interests. The neutral ministers assert that either Great Britain or Russia must make material concessions before a conclusion of the agreement is possible. Meanwhile the committees of the ministers are working upon comparatively unimportant details, such as improvements in navigation, if the financial question is settled, the negotiations could be closed in a deal. Li Hong Chang keeps sending strenuous requests to the ministers of the powers to present a complete plan. He represents that China is willing to accept any reasonable terms and is chiefly anxious to know definitely what the powers require, so that she may begin compliance with the terms. The ministers regard newspaper accusations of procrastination on their governments, and of the ministers, are responsible, the ministers say, for the deadlock. PRESIDENT STEYN IS DETERMINED Says That the Boers Should Not Give Up at This Time. London, July 19. The war office has issued a dispatch from Lord Kitehener giving the correspondence between Mr. Reitz and Mr. Steyn that was captured with the latter's bagage near Lindley July 11. Mr. Reitz, under date of May 10, wrote Mr. Steyn that a meeting of the Transvaal government had been held, attended by General Botha, General Viljoen and Mr. Smutz, to consider the national situation, and upon the numerous surrenders of burghers entailing a heavy responsibility on the government, the rapidly decreasing supply of munition, the disintegration of the government and the lack of any definite assurances of European intervention. "In view of these facts," he said, "the government has decided to address a message to President Kruger pointing out the terrible condition. The time has passed for us to let matters drift at present. We must take a step." Mr. Steyn, flying May 15, upbraids Mr. Reitz with weak-heartedness, saving: "There is still sufficient ammunition to continue the struggle. You ask what prospect there is of a successful termination. I ask what chance there was for two small republics when they declared war against the major power of Europe. You will amass an army we trusted in God and in foreign intervention. What reason is there now to place less trust in God? "I have seen recent European newspapers, and I firmly believe that complications will occur in Europe in the course of a few months which will secure our good fortune." Mr. Steyn also says the facts that Mr. Kruger and the Boer delegates remain in Europe convinces him that the war will end with hope. He adds that he has summoned General De Wet and urges Mr. Reitz to take no steps until he has heard further from him. LONG DROUTH IS BROKEN. Copious Showers Throughout Kansas Save the Corn. Kansas City. Mo. July 18.-Generous rains fell yesterday afternoon over the bigger part of the corn belt of the southwest. They came just in the nick of time. The good that will result to the late corn and to pastures will undoubtedly prov immense. Warming showers fell over the southwest last night and this morning, but in most places up to noon continued reports on intense heat were reported. The rains began in western Kansas about 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and traveling east, had reached the Missouri line by 4 o'clock. Reports from many counties assert that the rain, following the little which has fallen within the past forty-eight hours, will insure at least a crop of corn and make the Kansas City shortly before 5 o'clock last evening. The fall continued for over half an hour and caused a decided drop in the temperature. Waterloo, June 18.—A severe electrical storm passed over this section yesterday. Lightning set fire to the Presbyterian church, but it was extinguished before any great damage was done. Several houses in this city were also struck, but only slightly damaged. Nearly an inch of rain fell. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man know when the baby eries. Duchies in Russia usually breakfast together before going out to fight. Oil Writ in Oklahoma. Guthie, O. T., July 13.—The people of Granite, O. T., are wild with excitement over the discovery of oil near that town.

A company that sank the well will go deeper in hopes of developing a gush- THE NEWS IN IOWA THE NEWS IN IOWA Returning to His Post of Duty as Minister to China. San Francisco, July 19.→Edwin H. Conger, United States minister to China, sailed for his post in the Orient on the Japanese liner Nippon Maru. Speaking of the political situation in Iowa, Minister Conger said: in low, amused mood that I'm a little sorry at what has happened. Things were not exactly what I had imagined them to be at home. "You know I have never been a candidate for the office of governor of Iowa, but tentatively allowed my friends to use my name. I said when I arrived that if the nomination was tendered me I would not refuse it, but I would make no fight for the place. "I meant I would accept the place if it came unanimously; if the party or state wanted or needed me. I have never been a candidate on account of the personal honors. There is not the unanimous desire that was represented to me, and I am sorry that even tentatively I have allowed my name to be used so much. I have many strong and good friends in Iowa, but the field is full of good men, and I have never failed to make a fight against all of them. "I hope that in allowing my name to be used as it has I have not sacrificed any principle or lost any friend. Iowa does not need me, and there is not the unanimous desire that would have been the only reason for my accepting the nomination, if it was made." SURVEYORS IN THE FIELD. Oes Moines & Southern Engineers Are at Work, Near Winterset. Winterset, July 17.—A gang of surveyors has been at work for a week past surveying a route for a road running northeast from this place. The matter has been kept very quiet. It has not been stated publicly what road or what company has been having the work done, and no one has been able to gain any information from the men at work. Three lines have been run. One of them to Lida, in Warrington, on the Chicago Great Western, and another to Cummins, on the same road. The men are still at work. Frank W. Cherry, one of the officers of the Des Moines & Southern railway, that recently filed articles of incorporation with the state auditor for a road running southwest from Des Moines, seems to be in charge of affairs here. He has been a among the business men manipliers and has secured the documents to give their patronage to the road when it shall have been built into Winterset, provided reasonable rates, etc., are made by the company. It is not generally known how many such agreements have been signed, but it is intimated by the friends of the new road that it will be guaranteed plenty of business. It is stated by those in touch with the agreement to be built from here northeast this summer and that it will extend on southwest through Greenfield and Red Oak to Nebraska City. TARRED AND FEATHERED. Laurens Wife Beater Taken From Jail by a Mob. Laurens, July 16.—A mob of about forty indignant citizens called at the city jail during the absence of the night watchman and marshal and broke into the steel cage where A. I. Puls was confined on the charge of choking and beating his wife. The mob took the prisoner out to the Rock Island and Northwestern railway crossing, and there applied a coat of tar and feathers and ordered the man to leave the country. Poor farm Buildings Burned. Poor farm buildup Burlington, July 17—Fire swept the Des Moines county poor farm, destroying the suppliantinstant's residence, the old house containing the same people and the large new structure for the insane. The fire was of mysterious origin and spread rapidly by reason of the dryness of everything. The insane patients were greatly excited, but were rescued with considerable difficulty. One or two patients escaped and have not been found. The others were brought to Burlington and placed in the county jail. The loss is $40,000; the insurance $24,000. The means of fighting the flames were inadequate and the destruction was complete before the Burlington fire department could reach the scene. A Farmer's peculiar Antics. Sioux City, City 17.—Melvin A. Hammell, a farmer living near Morningside, broke the legs of his chickens and his hogs and shot his cows to wound them just to tanzalize his wife, and finally wound up by taking their 8-year-old son Clyde Hammell, and running away from home in a buggy. Hammell took one of his horses and helped himself to a horse belonging to a neighboring widow. Mrs. Hammell thinks he husband has not been right initially for some time and she fears some harm will come to him or their son and she has entered a reward of $25 for the return of the boy. Killed by Kick or Horse. Mt. Pleasant, July 18—Antone Nacke, a promoter farmer near West Point, was killed by a kick from a horse on his farm. He lived several hours after the accident, which was not thought so serious at first. He was 42 years of age, and leaves a widow and several children. Clinton County Murder Mystery. Clinton, July 17.—News comes from Covadova that another arrest is likely to be made against the murder of Covadova, who was found dead in his hout with a bullet hole in his head. The Stiles brothers are in jail charged with the murder, but it is now believed the shooting was done by a young man residing in Princeton, who, it is claimed, told of the shooting the day before the dead body was found. It is said there is a motive for the crime, which will be developed after the arrest is made. There is a growing sentiment that the Stiles are innocent. MURDER AND SUICIDE. Farmer Near Glenwood Thought to Have Killed and Burned Family. Glenwood, July 18.—Three charred bodies, a shotgun and razor found in the ruins of the residence of Fred Pourheur by neighbors mutely described the tragedy canned there. Pourheur, a young farmer residing twelve miles south of this place, had cut the throats of his wife and her 6-year-old child, set the house on fire and then taken his own life with a shotgun. The true story of the tragedy will never be known, as no one was left to tell the tale. The coroner is investigating in the possible hope that it may be found a robbery was committed and that the robbers murdered the family and burned the house for punishment of concealing the crime, but this theory is exceedingly far-fetched and everything points to the theory first outlined. It was 2 o'clock a.m. when flames were seen to shoot up at the Fourhom helm home. A half dozen neighbors were summoned and arrived on the scene while the flames were at their height and could have rendered assistance and any living thing been found in the burning structure. The fact that there were no cries for help, the position of the bodies and other circumstances all point to deliberate murder and suicide. The house was low and small, so that escape would have been easy. Fourhom's body showed but bad wound, though biased. The wrinkles to a crisp and it was impossible to tell if they showed any marks of violence. Their heads were not so badly burned, however, and their necks had the appearance of having beenacked with a razor. No motive for the crime is known to have existed, though there have been some rumors of domestic infelicity. It has been suggested that Fourhelm was suddenly driven insane by a psychotic attack, and the crime while irrational. One neighbor says he had heard Fourhelm remark that the heat made him feel dizzy. OAT MEAL WILL BE MADE One of Largest Factories in Country to Be Dugged at Des Moines. Des Moines, July 18.—F. M. Hubbell, James Windsor, D. M. Dick Mott and Chicago capitalists have about concluded the organization of a company which will put in and operate in Des Moines one of the largest oat meal mills in the country. Plans looking to the organization of this company have been on foot for the last week by the Mott disposed of a portion of their holdings in the Shannon & Mott company and Mr. Hubbell acquired the old distillery plant. It was the securing of the old distillery plant by Mr. Hubbell that suggested the undertaking, and since that time he and the gentlemen interested with him have been investigating the business with a view of utilizing the old distillery property for this purpose. The character of the oats grown in this section, together with their oil, the oats and other milling points; the cost of shipment of finished product, etc., have been carefully investigated, and the gentlemen have come to the conclusion that Des Moines is so well situated that a mill can be operated at a profit here. Game in Northern Iowa Humboldt, July 16.—The game prospects for Humboldt's vicinity, which could speak for all northern Iowa, are the best in years at present, as the following summaries will show: Quail are even more numerous this year than last, which was an uncommon year. The young quail are out now and seem to be hardy little fellows, while their cath is everywhere. We know that it should be just ill aware what it is, the birds keeping in out of sight, but it will undoubtedly be good. The wild ducks are nesting in this vicinity, which greatly encourages the sportsmen and shows what a vital point the law prohibiting spring shooting of ducks is. Drowning at Lake View. Lake View, July 16.—At the picnic here a young man by the name of Nels Sorensen, of Audubon, about 35 years of age, was drowned. He and two others were out in a row boat and were very much under the influence of liquor when the boat capsized. Mr. Sorensen not being to swim went down while the other two men drifted around for some time before they were discovered, and picked up by the large steamer of Lawrence & Co. They were also very nearly drowned. Jail Delivery at Adsl Adel, July 19.—The men held for the murder of young Daugherty of Perry made a desperate effort to escape at 10 o'clock p. m. and one of them, George McKay, succeeded. Jailer Henry Carl was giving water to the two prisoners when they made their break. Carl managed to hold Blain, and which he went with. Wade good his escape. Officers are now searching for McKay and Sheriff Haines offers a reward for his capture. Large Pearl Found. Lansing, July 17.—The largest pearl ever found in this section has been discovered by Mrs. Filmore Fetrow, living on Round Island, four miles below this city. It weighed 139% grains, and is the size and shine of a cedar tree. The owner refuses not a price on it. Last week three other pearls, worth between $300 and $500 each, were reported, besides many smaller ones. A rich man can see many advantages in not being poor. Dubuque Bonds Illegal. Dubuque, July 15.—It is stated that through the neglect of Mayor Duffy to sign the resolution adopted by the council in 1897, authorizing the refunding of $220,000 regular city bonds, the issue is void, and trouble for the city is likely to come up. The bonds have been offered in the east, and there the omission was discovered. The old bonds bore 7 and 8 percent interest, and the new issue 5 percent. The question is whether the bonds must bear the old rate of interest, or the city be allowed to issue new bonds. This is a new legal question likely to prove vexatious. NEWS IN GENERAL Sentenced to Three Months in Jail, But Jailors Will Make It Easy. London, July 19.—Earl Russell was arranged at the bar of the House of Lords yesterday for trial on the charge of bigamy and pleaded guilty. The trial was carried on the quaint middle-age ceremonies. Both the Earl and Constance Russell (Both, Somerset, do), through their counsel, judged they did not know they were doing wrong, but had acted on the best legal advice obtainable in Nevada. The peers reported their decision after consideration of the case, lasting twenty minutes. Earl Russell was sentenced to three months imprisonment as a first class misdemeanant. In anticipation of the arrival of Lord Russell the officials at Holloway prison have prepared for his reception from the courts formerly occured by William T. Stead, the editor, and member of the Jameson raiders. It is a commodious apartment, in which his lordship can be supplied with his own food and wines. After separating from his wife, Mabel, Countess Russell, more than a year and a half ago, Earl Russell disappeared from England and the next heard from him was that he had obtained a divorce in America and had there married Mrs. Mollie Somerville, a former teacher at George Cooke of Combernauld, Scotland Mrs. Somerville had also been divorced in Nevada. Her husband was George J. Somerville. Earl Russell obtained the license to marry Molly Cooke April 14, 1900, and a judge in Nevada performed the ceremony the following day. The earl and his new countess returned not long ago to England despite the fact that the first countess was still in London. Earl Russell's first wife was Mabel Scott, from whom he separated just before disappearing from England. Countess Russell threatened prosecution when it was learned that Earl Russell and Mrs. Somerville were living together in Reno, Nevada. The charge that was brought against him was that he feloniously married Cook in America when first life was still living. It was, on the other hand, contended by counsel for Earl Russell that the prosecution failed to consider the divorce proceedings begun by his lordship in America. The woman to whom he was married in America has been with Earl Russell during his trial and both have seemed in good spirits. It was on June 17 upon his return from the country that Earl Russell was formally charged. He was met at the police station, where detectives were working with his new wife and arrested on the charge of having contracted a bigamous marriage in the United States. CIVIL RELEA FAILURE Military to Control Three Provinces in the Philippines. Manila, July 19—The United States civil commission has announced that after three months' trial of a provincial form of government in the islands of Cebu and Bohol and the provinces of Batangas, Luzon, control of those districts, owing to their incomplete pacification, has been returned to the military authorities, it having been proved that the communities indicated are backward and undeserving of civil administration. The provincial and civil officials of these designation districts will continue their functions, but are now under the authority of General Chaffee instead of that of a civil government as heretofore. General Chaffee has the power arbitrarily to remove from office any or all provincial or civil officials and to abrogate any section of the laws promulgated in these three provinces. The residents of the island of Cebu have protested, but without success, against the return of that island to military control. Several towns on Cebu are still besieged by insurgents. The insurrection on the island of Bohol has been renewed, and insurgents have province of Batangas are strong. TABIEE WAR ENDING Former Russo-American Commercial Relations. So to Be Remyndy. London, July 19.—The Odessa correspondent of the Standard says that the opinion is very general in official circles in St. Petersburg that the acute stage of the tariff dispute with the United States is now safely weathered and that commercial relations between the two countries will shortly resume their normal character. Although Mr. Witte, minister of finance, was throughout convinced of the justice of his resistive attitude, he was sufficiently wise and tactful to discern the expediency of not pushing his contention beyond a certain limit. He has now come to a frank and coercive understanding by much courteous and orderly means to not leave the slightest after-soreness in Washington. This is patently obvious in the tone of the Russian reply to Secretary Hay's note. Capt. Botha Killed London, July 19—Lord Kitchener, commanding the British forces in South Africa, reports to the war office as follows: "Eland'sontinent, July 18—Captain Charles Bohna, son of Philip Bohna, and field Cornets Human and Olive have been killed in the Orange River colony." Governor Allen Quits. San Juan, July 15—Gov. Allen and wife, with their household effects sailed for New York on the Mayflower. He no longer owned a portion of returning to Porto Rico. It is semiofficially announced that he will enter the diplomatic service. Carnegie's Gift Accepted. New York, July 18. The board of estimates has adopted a resolution accepting the $5,200,000 gift of Andrew Carnegie for sixty-five libraries. The pouch of a pelican is large enough to contain seven quarts of water. ITALY WANTS DAMAGES. Claims That Two of Her Citizens Were Lynched in Mississippi. Washington, July 18.—The Italian government has taken cognizance of a recent affray at Erwin, Miss., in which it is claimed two Italians were lynched and a third seriously wounded. The facts have been communicated to the foreign office at Rome and the Italian embassy here has represented to the state department. At the same time the Italian authorities one perishing an investigation of their own through their consul at New Orleans and their consular agent at Vicksburg, Miss., which is not far from the scene of the alleged trouble. Memphis, Teen, July 18. At a meeting of citizens of Greenville, Washington county, Miss., a resolution was adopted asking the government to order of the county to deal with the older special school circuit visitation of two Italianes at Erwin. The crime was denounced in the strongest terms. EXAMPLE SET BY JAPAN Gives Up Her Demand for Increase in Indemnity. Washington, July 18.—In a spirit which has aroused the keenest admiration of the state department, the Japanese government has met the difficulty growing out of the preference of her request for an increase of her indemnity by withdrawing the request. The result is a substantial loss of $23,000,000. She asked originally for $23,000,000. This figure was more moderate than any of the powers which played any prominent part in the Chinese campaign and represented the barest expense of the undertaking. It was fixed upon the idea that payment was to be made in cash by China. Confronted with the bond payment, the Japanese government said that her payment should be assumed to $23,000 in bonds to make good the loss she would suffer through the sale of the bonds. As soon as some of the other nations found that the allotment, as originally fixed, was in danger of being disturbed, they came in with increased demands and thus it is that Japan, finding that insistence upon her demand would be to blockade the negotiations at this phase, has withdrawn her request for the present at least. It is safe to assume that the United States government will do what it can to secure compensation for Japan in some other way in the future. It is understood to be the desire of the great powers that the disposition of Manchuria should go before the ministers at Peking and be finally determined by a joint agreement among the powers. Although no definite steps have been taken in that direction it is being discussed by foreign representatives stationed here, who fully expect that the plan will be adopted. Russia, it is said, will be reluctant to agree to it. Attention has been directed to the latter by representation that Russia had assumed direct proscriptions with China concerning Manchuria and also by Tuesday's eaglegram stating that Russian proclamation was about to be issued establishing Nu Chwang as a Russian port. As to the report that Russia will proclaim Nu Chwang to be a Russian port, it is pointed out in diplomatic quarters that Nu Chwang is a treaty port and as such open to the commerce of the right to trade, the existing tariff regulations with China, and for merchants have the right to trade and to conduct establishments there. These rights of trade could not be diverted in the opinion of diplomatic officials by a Russian proclamation unless the powers had previously given assent. Thus far, however, there are no indications that Nu Chwang for any change in the status of Nu Chwang as one of the treaty ports. Mr. Rockhill, our special commissioner at Peking has been instructed to give the assent of the United States to the discussion of the proposition to increase the Chinese customs duties in order to provide means for the payment of taxes. The Chinese government is still opposed to this project and the instruction is sent only in deference to the universal wish for a speedy conclusion of the negotiations at Peking. It is learned that the hitch in these negotiations, the most baffling that has yet occurred, is due entirely to the issue raised as to the increase of customs. GOVERNMENTS POLICY CRITICISED Sir William Vernon Harcourt Products Furniture Will Not Fall. London, July 18.—In the course of a debate on the finance bill in the house of commons, Sir William Vernon Harcourt (liberal) criticised the government's financial policy, saying those persons believing the statement that the general expenditure would fall after the termination of the war were living in a fool's paradise. Sir William's speech, which was throughout undoubtedly pessimistic, drew angry interruptions from Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial secretary. The latter, in the course of his reply to Sir William, took a sanguine view of the situation in South Africa. He said nobody doubted the war would soon be over and when the Boers recognized that they had been thoroughly 'beaten and had returned' peaceful occupations interest on the Treason Act, the slogan on would be easily payable out of the surplus revenue derived from the new colonies. The finance bill passed its third reading by a vote of 291 16 121. Steyn Escapes in His Sarc Sleeves. London, July 16. The war office has received the following dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated at Pretoria: Wood's capturing brigade surprised Bazsie, capturing his brother and others. Steyn himself escaped in his shirt sleeves, with one other. The so-called Orange River government and papers were captured." Hill Admits His Candidacy New York, July 16—Senator David B. Hill has confided to his intimate his intention to try for the democrat's nomination for the presidency in 1904. / NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL Des Moines, July 19, 1901. Justice Duncan has rendered a decision in the slot machine case, an action in which the state declared the slot machines operated by Jessie Hammond in his Fifth street store store three months ago to be gambling devices within the meaning of the law, sustaining the contention of the court's decision is based on the grounds that secured 4052 and 4963, in which it was claimed by the defense did not cover the slot machine, clearly encompassed that device in its reference to "other gambling devices." The court held that any device, whereby there was no need to use it as in the operation of Jessie Hammond, was gambling, and so condemned them. Counsel for the defense filed notice of appeal and will carry the matter to the supreme court. The State Association of County Clerks elected the following officers: President, John C. Tate of Des Moines; first vice president, J. C Pugh of Adel; second vice president, C. M. Soper of Nevada; third vice president, J. C. Leach of Bloomfield; secretary, Tom C. Mender of Eldorab treasurer, J. G. Marner of Iowa City. The president, secretary and treasurer, with J. H. Merckens of Fairfield, C. R. Graves of Osage, R. T. Ellison of Indianola and C. G. Strauchan of Mt. Ayr, constitute the legislative committee. It was decided to ask the state to give the counties 1 per cent of the collateral inheritance tax collected in each county to cover the expense of appraisements, blanks, clerk's services, etc. to pay all theowe is, the counties have to pay all the revenue and the state derives all the revenues from this source. It was also decided to ask the legislature to determine definitely the amount of fees the clerks will be entitled to for services in probate matters. As the law now stands, the board of supervisors in each county, without respect to population, may allow $300 a year. Some boards allow the maximum and some do not allow anything. The association will meet in Marshalltown next year. Captain R. B. Turner of the quartermaster's department of the United States army, charged with erecting new cavalry post at Des Moines, says: "We have now set aside in Washington $200,000 for beginning the construction of the army post here. I expect that we will erect first four barracks and officers' quarters. There is not enough money appropriated as yet to entirely pay for four barracks, but I expect that the money will be coming around by the time we want it. The four barracks will each hold a binder, able to open the bids for at least two by the first of September, which will allow us to break ground by the first of October. This will allow us to get the foundations up by the time the snow flies. We cannot hurry the work along as if the buildings were being erected in the city, on account of the four mile haul for our bridges and other materials. It will hustle a man and team to make two trips with a load of brick a day. After the concrete extension be completed to the post the cars will be able to take a good bit of the materials. The full plans for the post as I saw them in Washington contemplate twelve barracks, but their erection will cover some time." The Interurban railway has secured the right of way ground for the proposed new line to the army post, the land being secured with the express agreement and understanding that the new line is to be built within two years. Deeds and right of way contracts for the land have been filed with the county recorder. Before starting for Yellowstone park, with the members of his family, Governor L. M. Shw issued a proclamation designed to aid in the Boer relief fund movement. This movement has been inaugurated in Iowa by H. D. Viljoen and A. B. Liebenberg. The former was in Des Moines Mountain, to dispose of arranging for two lectures here. The governor's proclamation follows: "To the people of Iowa - Field Cornet Hercules D. Viljoen of Alwil North,- Cape Colony, South Africa, who comes to our state with proper credentials, is laboring in the interest of the Boer widows and orphans of that land. It is to be hoped that he and his colleague, Commandant A. B. Liebenberg, will meet with liberal and attentive audiences whereasover their duties may call them in this state, and that the contributions to raise which they are endearcing to raise will be worthy of our good state of Iowa, whose people are noted for their generosity in relieving distress. A collateral inheritance windfall of unusual proportions has just been handed into the state treasury by Emma L. Schwenker, executrix of the estate of W. F. Bruning of Henry county. The tax amounts to $5,827.22 and was paid on an estate amounting to $116,544.50, of which $110,000 consisted of personal property. It is not often that most consisting almost exclusively of property are as resourceful to the state. Personal property, although it must be schedued according to law, is much easier secreted than reality. Columbia Again Wins Batesman's Point, R. L. July 13.—The Columbia won yesterday's race, the fourth of the series, beating the Constitution by a minute and a half at the finish, but by something more in corrected time. The feature of the day was the fine work of the Independence, which after losing her topast at the very start, sailed a magnificent stern chase with her upper sails gone and then was beaten only ten minutes at the finish. Texas, which enlisted only 1,967 soldiers in the union army, is now the place of residence of 8,100 pensioners. : Satan fi caused the death of May Fosburg had | ts made In the editorial columns, ac- R THE MERRY SIDE OF LIFE FOSDURG TRIN.

The startled neighbors heard frantic calls for as- sistance. A struggle was going on in the Fosburg house. Two pistol shots were heard, followed by screams of women and the hoarse shouts of men. From an open second-story window Robert L. Fosbutg appealed: “Will no one come to us?

SWIFT CRUISERS PLANNED, Twenty-two-Knot War Veusols, Washington, July 18.—A powerful warship which can steam 10,000 miles without recoaling at a speed of 22 knots is the kind of an armored cruiser the Naval Board of Construction now has under consideration. Such a. yes- sel could steam from a port on the North Atlantic to Manila without stopping at any South American or North American port, She could cruise for a long period without putting into port and her great speed would make her safe if she fell in with a squadron of wandering battleships or cruisers. These cruisers, two in number, will be of 14,000 tons burden and will have @ coal capacity of 2,000 tons. The ar- mored cruiser Brooklyn has a capacity of 1,650 tons and the New York, also armored, a capacity of 1,150 tons. ‘The speed of twenty-two knots ts one Knot faster than the contract speed of the Brooklyn and the New York. In tonnage and general design these vessels will be practically similar to the armored cruisers California and West Virginia, now under construe- tion. The board has decided that the two ships shall have either eight-inch or seven-Inchriflesintheir main batteries, but has not chosen between the two calibers, It has been practically deter- mined, however, that if cight-inch guns are selected they will be mounted In turrets, but there will be no turrets for seven-Inch guns.

The strike can only be settled by representatives of the steel com- panies and the officials of the Amal- gamated association. One side can do nothing without the other. The of- ficials of the combine may have agreed to settle—and I hope they have—but we will have to be a party to it before any settlement can be made. “The reports about the strike being settled, coming as they do through brokers, of course lead to the sus- piclon that they are circulated for stock jobbing purposes.” The foregoing statement was made by President Shaffer of the Amalga- mated Association of Iron, Steel and Tin Workers late this afternoon. By way of a broker's wire the report had come to Pittsburg that a settlement had been made in Kew York. The Amalgamated men do not expect much from the steel combine officials at present. Anything that may lead to a settlement, they think, will have to come from outsiders. The Ohio state board of arbitration has been moving, the members say, since Monday, with no apparent results. ‘raat Starts Wellsville Piaot.

FIRED INTO CROWD. at Ban Franciteo. San Francisco, July 18—1ll feeling between strikers and nonunion men re- sulted in a shooting affray at the cor- ner of 1st and Harris streets. F. A. Pa- gendarn and Fred M. Cliff, employes of the Dundon iron works, discharged thelr revolvers into a crowd of strikers, one of the bullets lodging in the fleshy part of William Dunn's leg. The shoot- ing was provoked by un assault com- mitted by a number of strikers on Pagendarn and Cliff, who were on their way home from work and were followed by strikers, who jeered at them and pelted them with stones. ‘Threatening cries were made when Clif, who is an ex-soldier, drew his revolver and called on Pagendarn to do the same. They then called on the strikers to disperse. The reply was a shower of stones. The two working- men then fired their revolvers into the air, As this did not stop the throwing of stones, they shot into the crowd. ‘The only man hit was William Dunn, whose wound is not dangerous. San Francisco is to be made the strike center of the United States, so far as the ironworkers are concerned. A statement made by Thomas L. Wil- son, fourth vice president of the Inter- national Association of Machinists, says: ; zs “We have the assurance of the inter- tional grand lodge that thé funds will be forthcoming for a finish fight in San Francisco.

Miller Wounded in Battle with Thugs. ONE BANDIT IS A YOUTH, A Tloket Agent of the Metropolttan Rlovated Raltroud In Chicago Mas = Rough Experlence with Determined Desperidecs—Drives Them 'O#, Chicago, Paly 19.—An attempt was made to rob the ticket office of che Hoyne avenue station of the Garfield Park division of the Metropolitan Ble- vated Railroad company early this morning, but Agent W. R. Miller, who had been through a previous experi- ence with robbers, was armed and de- fended himself, even. after he had been shot and painfully wounded. At 12:30 o'clock two young men and a boy ap- proached ae ticket station. The boy, who was about 18 years old, was left ‘on the outsife as a guard. The two young men entered the station, asked the time, and then gave the agent 10 cents for thelr fares. Miller reached for his rope to ring up the fares, and as he did so the two men drew revolv- ers. One of the men was standing di- rectly in front of the window, and the second man was behind his partner. “Shove that money through here,” the robber said, Agent Miller made a pretense of reaching for a roll of bills, but he had a revolver hidden near at hand. ‘The robber reached his unoceu- pled hand under the window and was expecting to feel a roll of bills placed in it when suddenly a shot whizzed by his head. -He sprang back from the window and another shot passed him. A third shot had been fired before’ the robbers had recovered from their sur- prise. Both men emptied their revolv- ers at the agent, but only one shot took effect. The bullet struck Miller in the left arm below the shoulder. When their revolvers had been emptied the robbers ran to the rear door and at- tempted to leave the station, but it wak locked, ‘They then ran back to the door by which they had entered, but there was no handle on the door and they were forced to use their fingers to open it. This gave the agent moment’s time and he attempted to reload bis revolver. He had his weapon in readiness for a second at- tack when the men got the door open and ran. Miller followed them and fired two shots at them. The boy had taken alarm when the first shots were fired and he disappeared. Miller then re-entered the station, counted $63, and then telephoned to Special OMcer Grandpre and the police of the West Lake street station. Residents of the neighborhood had been awakened by the noise of the shooting and they gathered around the station. One of the shots, it was found, had passed through a window of the station and through a window in the flat of Mrs, N. Martin, No. 256 Hoyne avenue. ‘When the special ofcer of the Metro- politan Railroad company: arrived he helped bind the wound of Agent Miller and later the agent was removed to ‘the Dreshetedaw heavital: Cloudburst at Winona Lake: Warsaw, Ind.

After full consideration and consultation with the officials of the National Negro Business League and friends throughout the country, it has been decided to call the next session of the League to meet at Chicago, Ills., Wednesday, Thursday and Fri- day, August 21, 22 and 23. It is generally conceded that the meeting held in Boston last August was one of the most suc- cessful gatherings ever held in the history of the race, and that it gave an encouragement and impetus to the race in all lines of business in a way that is now ap- parent in all parts of the country. Any person engaged in any commercial enterprise or properly delegated to represent any indi- vidual or individuals engaged in commercial enterprise, is entitled to membership under such regu- lations as may be adopted. Wom- en as well as men engaged in business should be represented. It is strongly urged that Local Leagues be established in every part of the country where no such leagues now exist and those already organized be strength- ened wherever necessary, and that these local ‘leagues send del- egates, so far as possible to the National organization, and keep in close touch during the year with the officers of the National organization; that these local or- ganizntions hold meetings month- ly as far as practical; that every- thing possible be done in these local organizations to discourage complicated and useless parlia- mentiary machinery, and that parliamentary and technical dis- cussions be avoided, as far as pos- sible, with a view to concentra- ting time and strength on the real objects of the organization. It is the desire of the officers of our people as well as of the per- persons engaged in business. "These photographs should show both outside and inside views as far as possible, and they should be forwarded to the President of the League at Tuskegee, Ala- bama, as early as convenient. ‘The time has eome for the race to take a long step forward in establishing itself permanently and more generally in the busi- ness of the community where it resides. Let no legislation or attempted legislation discourage or dis- hearten us. There should be no doubting or halting. Every move should be a forward one. To gain recognition and success we may have to struggle harder and longer than others, but out of the very struggle we shall gain a strength that we can get in no other way. The influence and power of intelligence, high char- acter and high standing in the business world, are sure to place the race in the end in a position where it will be honored and treated with justice in every part of the land. Let our watchword constantly be, “FORWARD.” Booker T. Washington, Presi- dent, Tuskegee, Alabama. T. Thomas Fortune, Chairman, Executive Committee, 4 Cedar Street, N. Y. E. E.

At length, a footman en- fering to announce the arrival of the dog-cart at the hall door, Eddie rose to see to Denzil's further comforts, and -so left him and Mildred at last alone.

Eo it fell out that King’s Abbott was once more bereft of guests; and sifll the Trevanions were unhappy, because tthe very train that carried away— anugly ensconced among its cushions— the unhappy Denzil, brought to Lady Caroline a letter that filled her gentle bosom with dire alarm. ‘The letter began, “Mr. Dear Niece.” and onded, “Your attached aunt, Har- riet Disney.” its contents being to the effect that Lady Eagleton—Lady Caro~ line's aunt by the father's s!de—hal Reneroussiy made up her mind to snert- fice her pleasures, inclination, habits, and self generally for the purpose of Destowing her society upon her “dear niece” aforesaid, This was ined a heavy blow, her ladyship—having at- Aained the troublesome age of eighty ‘two-being one of thoss people whom to entertain Is a kind of martyrdom. As misfortunes never come single, it vas just about this time also that Lady ‘Caroline heard for the first time of ‘Mildred’s refusal of Denzis Young. The girl had hitherio kept it nervous'y to herself, thinking of it now and then with mingled feelings of pain and ‘something akin to pleasure, but out- wardly suppressing all sign until this day, when Lady Caroline timidly and without preface touched on the subject ot his evident admiration of her. “It seems a pity you could not care for him, Mildred.” she said, interroga- tively, as though it were by no meas a certainty that Mildred did not care for him; “we should all like it 39 mucu, and your father says——" Mildred rose hastily and threw down her work, while two red spots appeared on her cheeks. , “Mamma,” she Said, “perhaps tt will be better, and will put a stop to all further mention of this matter, if T tell you the truth. Mn Younge did propose to me, and I refused him." ‘She fnished almost defiantiy and turned to leave the room. “Mildred, is it possible?” exclaimed Lady Caroline. “Oh, Milly!” cried Mabel, who was also present, with lvely reproach and @tsapproval in her, tone. “Is it such a crime then? Has noth- Ing of the kind ever been done be- fore?” demanded Mildred, passionate- Jy: and then she went out, and left them to their wondcrings and censures on her conduct. ‘When eventua'ly Sir Geerze was told the unlucky news, It rendered him at first furious, and then despairing.

But now all that was changed, and Mildred’s had boon the hand to dash the hope aside. Both he and Lady Caroline were stragely distant and unsympathetic to her in these days; her father irritably 50, her mother with a sort of mourn- ful gravity that touched her far more.

She was sore at heart, and longing for sym- pethy, so that the old woman's words and manner grated cruelly on her overwrought feelings. “{ veally think all decency and order have gone from the world,” went on Lady Fagleton. “Society nowadays is widely different from what tt once was.

Orton is a mass of factory chimneys which spell out the word commierce every day in the week except Sunday. I have never seen Cambridge, but I imagine it a cloistered, ivy-clad colony of ancient buildings faithtully guard- ing all the traditions of culture. And so here is the problem which Destiny has set me, and which I can solve only by putting my invisible crown firmly on my heart. Orton has one saiient advantage; be- ing given over to. commerce. it 1s com- mercially situated; it is a seaport town. ‘There is a distinct profit for a person who loves sunsets and moon-rises; for a bit out of the town where the fac- vories have not yet penetrated there 1s a superb stretch between the salt meadows and the sea. One can walk directly into the very heart of the sun- set—the changing, mysterious heart of the sunset which has always had a strange fascination for me, What a wonderful picture I saw there the other evening as 1 took my solitary stroll along the “loud-sounding” sea! It was extreme low tide, and the sand flats lay in long, dark-brown reaches amidst tranguil pools of water which reflected faithfully the thousand brilliant colors of the west. Par out at sea the waves were breaking in a white line against the dark, sharp Ines of the sand. A wholesome tang of salt was in the air, which blew in freshly across the wide expanse of delicate sapphire-tinted sea. ‘The sun had disappeared behind a bank or rose-colored cloud, and no words of mine can express the glori- ‘ous symphony of golds and purples and searlets and pale-green and radiant blues, which changed and deepened and brightened in the sky, and threw itself deep down into the peaceful beauty of the salt pools, among the long stretches of black sand.

In 3749 the canny Scotch concluded that they. could do thelr own bleaching considerably cheaper than the | long end very expensive Dutch way. They {troduced the use of sulphuric acid jn place of buttermilk, and a few "years Inter commenced to use chlorine.

'But still the process, compared with the advance in other lines, is slow, requiring two weeks to properly bleach a piece of linen, and in bleaching it will lose one-third of ts weight, while cotton Joses but one-twentieth’ of its weight in bleaching. ‘The greatest advance of all, how- ever, has been made very recently, jn fact since the dawn of the twenti- eth century. This is in the discovery of a starch which, after the linen is properly bleached, will give it any degree of stiffness which may be de- sired without making it brittle. It has since being put on the market deen called the “Deflance” starch. Why it was given such a name ts not known, unless it was on account of fis tendering “deflance” to old meth- ods, ‘The process of manufacturing this starch has not been patented, but fs being kept secret by the inventors and manufacturers. One of the great- est objections to linen, whether used as shirts, collars, cuffs, or underwear, has been that in order to give it the required stiffness and finish, it has been necessary to also make it brittle. And in addition to being un- pleasant, this fact has made the wear- ing of linen much more expensive than it otherwise would be on account of its breaking, particularly at button- holes or wherever it was creased. With this newly invented starch the objectionable brittleness and the breaking 1s done away with, thereby making the Mnen last longer as well as being more pleasant to wear. Ow- ‘ing probably to the peculiar method of manufacturing it the starch does not require any cooking, but can be mixed to any degree of thickness de- sired in cold water and still be per- fectly smooth and free from all lumps. It is strange, considering the many experts who have worked on the prob- Jem for years, that such a starch was not discovered long ago, but like many other things which are perfectly plain and simple after orfce being known, Mt remained for these latter years to bring forth something for which ‘women especially. and men whenever they have found their shirts or collars full of rough edges and cracks, have been wishing for several generations.

She says: “All the doc- tors told me they could do nothing for me.” She was very, very bad, and the pain was so great she could not sleep at night. She used Dodd's Kidney Pills, and she is well and entirely free from pain or any symptom of the Rheumatism. “Are you still using Dodd's Kidney Pills?” was asked. “No, I stopped the use of the Pills some time ago, and have not had the slightest return of my old trouble. I am sure I am completely and perma- nently cured.”” Many in Tippecanoe County who have heard of Mrs. Rorick’s case and her cure by Dodd's Kidney Pills, are using the Pills, and all report won- derful results. : One of King Edward's pets is a parrot bought the other day from a boy in Trafalgar Square. ‘he bird has, however, turned out to be pos- sessed of the most violent pro-Boer sentiments, and his great ery is for cheers for Oom Paul, Cronje and De Wet.

It is so cold that 2 cake of Ice is like a fierce fire as com pared with {t, for a kettle ot liquid ar placed on a cake of ice will boil just as water bolls over a hot fire.

As sora as the waiter’s back was turned Mr. Tripler hastily opened the can and exzosed the meat to the liquid air. Instuntly the steak was frozen hard as a rors, When the waiter came back his -ustomer complained that the steak was frozen, So the waiter called the heat waiter, and the head waiter blamed ‘t all on the cook and the cook was at 4 loss to explain, and the result was hat the frozen steak was taken back into the Kitchen as a mysterious curicaity. A new steak was broiled for Mr. Tripler, and this one he ate with much relish, A MATTER OF CAPACITY, 1, is self-evident that the mill which makes ‘the most flour can make it most cheaply—the administration expenses are less.
