Mrs Gould was very ill at her home the forepart of this week, being overcome by the heat Monday. As the weather was very unfavorable last Monday evening, the boat excursion that was given by the band boys was not very well attended. Those who'd go enjoyed a lovely ride. Miss Pearl Baker of Savannah, Mo., is the guest of Misses Maple and Alice Morton. She came on the excursion from St. Joseph the 14, and expects to be in our city until the 1st of August. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas McDaniel will soon depart for an extended visit in the East. They will visit the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo. They are very highly respected citizens of our city and perhaps the wealthiest colored family in Polk county.

They also serve ice cream MARRIED.—On last Wednesday evening occurred the marriage of Miss Eva James to Mr. J. L. Lucas. They were quietly married at Burn's M. E. parsonage. Rev. C. W. Holmes officiated. The BYSTANDER wishes them success through life. Remember the Old Settlers and Sunday School picnic next Thursday at Union Park. It bids fair to be largely attended, as the A. M. E. Sunday School holds their picnic in conjunction with the Old Settlers. The H. B. S. club was entertained Thursday afternoon by Mrs. Gould at Union Park. No program was had. A pleasant outing was enjoyed and the refreshments were excellent. The club adjourned to meet the first Thursday in September. When in Oskaloosa, Iowa, stop at Mr. Peter Williams, No. 216 North A street, for good meals and room. Mesdames Hudson Woods and Propps left last week to attend the ordination of Rev. Edward S. Willett, one of our worthy townsmen and a recent graduate of the King Theological College. He was ordained as an Episcopal minister and has charge of the Episcopal church at Keokuk. L. W. Scott, who has been employed at the Kirkwood hotel for the past two years is off for an indefinite period during this dreadful hot weather. He can be found at the corner of Ninth and Walnut streets, in charge of a lunch wagon, and he requests your patronage. The sacred concert given by Prof. Holt and his students at the A. M. E. church last Sunday evening was very good. A few months ago many of his pupils did not know that they had an ordinary voice, much less one that could handle classical music. They will be heard again in the near future. Vernie Wilburn, the 10 year old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. Wilburn of East Fourteenth and Lyon streets, while playing last Wednesday afternoon in some way had the misfortune to break his leg. A physician was summoned and the limb was set. He is getting along nicely considering the hot weather. Miss Louise and Mr. James McNiel of Mt. Pleasant has been visiting for the past three weeks with their brother S. D. Miller on Park street.

She is well pleased with the city and will spend some time here. Rev. R. Jaekson, assistant pastor of the First African Baptist church, will discuss the following, topics Sunday: "How is a sinner justified before God," Romans 3 chapter and 24 verse. Being justified by His Grace. His subject will be through the redemption of Christ Jesus. God's wrath upon the wicked. Evening topic: "God's judgment upon the wicked, and his blessings on the good," Mal., 4 chapter and 4 verse Sullivan's Instruments Sold Well. Sixteen of the violins and violoncellos owned by the late Sir Arthur Sullivan were recently sold for $1,800. The greatest prize realized for any one of the instruments was $850, which was paid for a violoncello by Joseph Guarnerius. We are glad to note that Echumenical conference of Methodism, which holds its session this year in London, England, will have some of our leading Negro divines and educators on the program. Among those of American Negroes who will be there are: Prof. W. S. Scarborough, of Wilberforce, Ohio; Rev. Reverdy Ransom, of the Institutional Church, Chicago: Prof. I. Garland, Pennsylvania and others who we cannot mention now. We know that those gentlemen and scholars will fittingly represent the progressive Negro race of America. The Ministerial Union and Afro-American Council of Kansas has pressnted their affidavits, and ask the Atty. General to oust the county sheriff of Leavenworth, Kansas for neglect of duty and melfeasance in office, when he permitted the mob to break the jail in Leavenworth last January 15, and burned Fred Alexander at the stake. The Atty. General we hope will have the true manhood, if after looking over the affidavits filed, if there be sufficient evidence to bring quo warranto proceedings, to oust the sheriff. NEGRO BANKERS A call has been issued for the colored bankers, loan and trust companies to meet Sept. 26, 27 and 28, at Buffalo, N. Y. Mr. John Clinton, Jr., who is president of the "First Colored Bank North" in Philadelphia, is the leading man in the organization. There are eight State institutions owned and managed by the colored people in the United States now, and several loan and trust companies. We hope they may organize an association, for they are not members of the white association, hence the need of an association. STUDY YOURSELF. It seems so much easier for one to find fault with others then with ourselves. It is a very easy matter to charge our mistakes and shorthomings up to others then ourselves. We very often imagine that we are just right and all else that does not conform with our ideas are wrong. The fault very often lies in ourselves and we should study ourselves more. To know your own weakness and remedy them is a great thing. To become self-master and to use your own will power, and not imitate others is an incalculable prerequisite. Above all study and know yourself. Many a man and woman has made a mistake when they begin to tell about the faults or complain of the mistakes of other people. This is a busy world and if one wish to succeed, he must know himself, and then work to subdue or overcome the rough parts of lifs or character; strive to make an honest man or woman wherever you may be, and do not complain of others faults for verily each has their faults. Cloud Stood, Report Was Tasted, Etc. An extract in style from the modern novel: "This cloud that tried to stand in the way of their youthful joy was only a false report whose bitter taste could not splinter the radiance of their happiness."

Deid at his home, 815 Eleventh street, Tuesday night from the effects of the excessive heat, Levi McDonaldson. He had been complaining for several days of the heat and had laid off from his work a few days, returning to his work Monday. Mr. McDonaldson was born a slave in 1836, and made his way to freedom by the under-ground railroad. He enlisted in Union army in Leon, this state, and served four years at the front in defence of his country. He has no relatives in this state. Mr. McDonaldson was a member of Crocker Post also a member of the Odd Fellows, which had charge of the services that were held from the A. M. E. church, Taurday at 2:00 o'clock. The Odd Fellows were out in full number. He had many friends in this city; having come here in the sixties. WHAT COLORED REPUBLI CAN LEADERS OUGHT TO CONSIDER AT STATE CONENTION. No doubt the coming State convention will be represented by several earnest, loyal colored workers. Therefore they ought to try and secure a colored man as a member of the State Central Committee; as have our other sister states; so that during the campaigns the colored people's interest will be well considered and taken care of. Second, the recent State constitutional convention, so recently held in the Southern states for the sole purpose of disfranchising the colored voters, should be considered and the Republicans of Iowa should denounce those methods in a resolution, as the recent Ohio republicans did. The time is fully at hand when the North should call a check to this. Below we print the resolutions which the Ohio republicans adopted: "The right of franohis is vouhessafed to every American citizen by the federal constitution. We denounce as no less criminal) when committed by theft than when accomplished with the shotgun and by the ballot box stuffing and as antagonistic to the spirit of our institutions, all attempts to deprive of their inalienable rights millions of our fellow citizens in certain states in the Union. We, therefore call upon our senators and representatives in Congress for such legislation as shall secure the strict enforcement of constitutional measures, without distinction as to race, color or previous condition of servitude, and we demand that representation in Congress and in the electoral college shall be based on the actual voting population, as provided in the constitution, proportionate reduction being made for any state in which the right of suffrage is denied, except for crime. "All criminals should be punished by due process of law, and we denounce the crime of lynching as a foul bbot upon civilization."

Educator Goes West Dr. Max Farrand, who has resigned the professorship of history at Wesleyan university to accept a similar post in Leland Stanford, Jr., university, was prepared for college at the Newark (N. J.) academy, and was graduated from Princeton university with high honors in 1892. He took a two-years' post-graduate course at Princeton, and then went to Germany, where he studied for two years more. Inadent in Bontelle's Life Incident in Boutelle's Life. Nathaniel M'Kay, formerly a Boston shipbuilder, but now a hotel-keeper in Washington, says that the late Congressman Boutelle of Maine was deeply in love with Mrs. Hazen before she became Admiral Dewey's wife, and that her refusal to marry him had much to do in bringing on the mental collapse from which he suffered at the time of his death. Mascagni is one of the men who wears bracelets, and they are not confined to his arms, but ornament his ankles as well. The creator of "Cavalleria Rusticana" is said to be passionately fond of jewelry and numbers many splendid and valuable rings given to him as well as bought by his own money, among his personal effects. Imigration from Europe. More immigrants are said to be arriving from Europe this year than ever before. Most of them come from southern Europe and Scandinavia. Italy furnishes the largest quota this season. Most of them are coming west to work on railroad extensions of the Burlington, Union Pacific and Great Northern. Italians, it is said, are the best track workers that can be obtained, and they are replacing the Chinese heretofore employed by the railroads on the Pacific coast. Latest End of Critics The latest fad of critics, the New York Press says, is to rebel against the names of months. They point out that it is absurd for Europeans and Americans of today to dedicate one-sixth of the year to the memory of Julius Caesar and Augustus, to name a third after heathen gods and goddesses, to have two months of doubtful nomenclature, and to designate the remaining four by misleading numericals, September being obviously ninth and not seventh in order. "Papering Up" Silk Goods Silk goods should not be folded in white paper, as the chloride of lime used in bleaching the paper will impare the color of the silk. Brown- or blue paper is better; yellow India paper is better still. Silk intended for dress should not be kept in the house long, as lying in folds causes it to crack or split. White satin dresses should be pinned up in blue paper, with coarse brown paper on the outside, sewed together at the edges. Lord Chancellor of England: Lord Halsbury, the Lord Chancellor of England, is the son of Dr. Stanley Lees Giffard, who was editor of the London Standard for twenty-seven years. His grandfather, a noted Dublin politician of the union period, John Giffard, had for more than a generation the sole editorial control of the Dublin Journal, which had been started and for fifty year edited by George Faulkner, the friend of Swift and Chesterfield. Professor Inman I. Page has been elected president of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., and his salary has been fixed at $2,000 per annum. Two of the native African graduates of Wilberforce University will return to Africa next month. Mr. Henry Colbourne Msikinya and Miss Charlotte Makhomo Manye, both from South Africa, intend to carry with them the spirit of Wilberforce, and will not only engage in active teaching, but will offer missionary services as well. At the thirty-eighth annual commencement exercises at Wilberforce University, thirty six young men and women received diplomas from the University and thirty-six received certificates from the Industrial and Commercial courses. The orations delivered by the members of the graduating class were exceptionally creditable' and compare favorably with similar efforts of Wilberforce graduates in the past. Afro-American Progress. In an interview recently with the New York Tribune, Congressman Livingston, of Georgia, said: "I think the people of Georgia are against any disfranchisement amendment to our State constitution. We are getting along nicely with the Negro in Georgia. The States which adopt the amendments which have already been adopted by Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina may see the time when Congress will take the matter up with a view to affecting their representations which of course would bring turmoil and strife and reopen the issue of the civil war." Vice President Roosevelt is a friend to the Negro race. Recently he appointed a Negro named Pinckney, who was his polite messenger when Governor of New York, messenger in the Senate. He was told that he had violated Senate precedent by appointing a Negro, and that he had better reconsider it. Roosevelt smiled, which showed that he was not to be frightened, and said firmly: "Pinckney is appointed." RICH EX-SLAVE. Left Home Penniless and Returns Almost a Croesus After 37 Years. The Danville (Va.) Register says that probably the richest colored man in America is visiting that city. He was born a slave and is named Edward Dillard. He escaped from slavery in 1863 and located in Pittsburg where he made $2.50 a day shoveling pig iron and lived on 40 cents a day until he had saved up $1,400 when he bought a horse and cart and began the peddling of coal and studying his books at night. He later went to Chicago and opened a drug store which was burned in the Chicago fire, for which he received an insurance of $20,000. He opened up the drug business, but soon sold it for $22,000 cash. He went to Australia and embarked in the cattle business and made a fortune. He has real estate in the heart of Chicago for which he recently refused an offer of more than $200,000. He owns valuable estate in Australia. While in the city yesterday he deposited with the Citizen's Bank two drafts on the Melbourne, Australia, bank for $37,000. He has found his son and daughter whom he had not seen in 37 years, living at Reidsville, N. C. He will now live and die in Virginia. He is worth between a quarter and a half million dollars. There are some goldfish in Washington which have belonged to the same family for the last fifty years and they seem no bigger and no less vivacious today than they did when they first came into the owner's possession. A few of the fish in the Royal Aquarium at St. Petersburg are known to be 150 years old and the age of the sacred fish in some of the ponds attached to the Buddhist temples in China is to be counted by centurions if we are to believe the priests. Strawberry Vinegar Put two quarts of strawberries into a stone jar and pour over them one quart of good cider vinegar. Cover and stand aside for two days, then drain off the liquid without mashing the berries, pour it over a quart of fresh fruit, and stand as before. Do this once more, the last time straining through a muslin bag. Now add one pound of sugar to every pint of this liquid. Boil slowly five minutes, skim let stand fifteen minutes, bottle and seal. A Very Novel Watch. In Zurich a very novel watch has just been made. It forms the cup or heart of a jeweled flower, which is intended to be worn as an ornament. The flower itself can be opened or closed by touching a tiny spring, and when it is closed the little watch is not visible. When a lady wearing such an ornament desires to know the time all she has to do is to touch the spring, whereupon the flower opens and the watch is revealed. A. Major's Experience. Major Scott, says the Jimtown Annias, being suddenly awakened last night, found five snakes in bed with him. The major jumped out of the front window and climbed a tree. He had not been there long before a hurricane blew the tree down; the tree fell on the house, smashed the roof, demolished the bed, and killed all the snakes. The only damage the major suffered was having a couple of his legs broken. Peter Cooper's Way: The unveiling of the Peter Cooper tablet in the building that was named for him in New York not unnaturally reminds us of the fact that there was something good in the good old days, not the least of which was the philanthropist who did what he could for the race without boasting of it, and who even sought to hide the bulk of his gifts from the public eye.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Dublin University Honors American The honorary degree of doctor of laws has been tendered by the University of Dublin to Hannis Taylor of Mobile, formerly United States minister to Spain and author of "Origin and Growth of the English Constitution" and of "International Public Law," and he was requested to be present in the city of Dublin, Ireland, in order to receive it in person on June 27. Mexicans Adhere to Candles: Candles are extensively used in Mexico, owing to the great expense of petroleum. A bookkeeper may be seen making his entries in a great ledger by the light of a single candle. A Mexican printer can work with a candlestick stuck carelessly into one of his boxes, and two tailors in the small shops can be seen sharing the rays of a single dip. For five years Miss Bertha Hoyt and Ernest . Bixby of Bridgeport, Conn., were engaged to be married. Ernest gave his sweetheart a part of his weekly earnings to save for him. Two months ago burglar broke into the Hoyt residence and stole the money. Now the sweetheart has eloped with another man. Money Returned to Subscribers A great many persons were much put out by President McKinley's inability to keep his New England engagements. In Worcester, Mass., for instance, 300 tickets at $10 each had been sold for the banquet projected in his honor, and the money was returned to subscribers. Showcase Manufacture Among other lines of manufacture in which Baltimore leads the world is that of making showcases, and not only does Baltimore's output exceed that of any other city on the globe, but it was also one of the first to construct this useful article. Barley Production: Of the 2,080,000,000 bushels of barley produced by the civilized countries of the world Russia produces by far the largest amount. Next in order comes Austria, which is followed by Germany, the United States, England and Spain. Studying Our Commercial Methods. Loo Chin An, a high Chinese official and a commissioner of commerce, arrived in San Francisco recently, sent by his government to examine the commercial methods and history of this country. Hired Twelve Extra Firemen. Three passengers who left New York on the steamship St. Paul recently paid for twelve extra firemen in order to keep a dinner engagement in London the next Wednesday evening. The Great Lifeboat South Shields, England, is said to possess the oldest lifeboat in existence. It has been in use since 1830, and by means of it 1,028 persons have been rescued. Work of Livingstone Daughters the two surviving daughters of Dr. Livingstone recently opened the extension of Livingstone College at Leyton, England, founded eight years ago for training in medicine and surgery those missionaries about to depart for far away stations where they would be called up to play the part of doctors as often as that of priest. It was because Livingstone himself was such a splendid example of the medically trained missionary that the fine college at Leyton was erected to his memory. Boy Story: Writer's Honor Boy story-Writers Rohde A monument to the late Rev. Elijah Kellogg, the preacher and writer of books for boys, is projected in Malne, and three towns are laying claim to its location—Portland, the city of his birth; Brunswick, where he was educated, and Harpswell, the little seacoast town where he preached for so many years and where he died. Some of his friends suggest that the monument be erected in Portland and memorial tablets be placed in Brunswick and Harpswell. Transvaal Gets New Stamps First. The first stamps to be issued by the British government bearing the imprint of King Edward VII, will be a complete set for use in the Transvaal, says a London newspaper. The government designers are now at work on the pattern, which is understood to be a profile of his majesty on a background of deep carmine. At the same time the imprint of the King when Prince of Wales has been used by one or two of the colonies. One Woman in Business A Chicago broker recently found a postal card in his morning mail reading as follows: "Dear Sir--Please buy me five thousand shares of People's Gas at 95 cents and sell the same at $1.15. After deducting your commission you may remit the balance in a registered letter. Yours respectfully, Mrs. Bland. P. S.-My future patronage depends upon the promptness with which you act in executing the above order." Married Each Other Often John and Mary Burkett, of Kokomo, Ind, began marrying each other about forty years ago, and have kept it up at intervals ever since. They have had three divorces and four weddings, neither having wedded another in the meantime. Kokomo also reports another couple, Henry and Myrtle Mohn, who have been married to each other three times, and are now living happily. Waves Checked by Nets. Baron Benvenuto d'Alessandro, an Italian, has invented a means of checking the force of waves by means of nets made of waterproof hemp. One recently tried with success at Havre was 360 feet long and fifty feet wide, with meshes eleven inches apart. The nets will break the waves at sea, and will also be a bulwark for hydraulic works against heavy surf. Policeman's Christian Association Canon Hobson, the founder of the Policeman's Christian association, has arrived at New York. This association was founded eighteen years ago in a cellar in Liverpool. It had three members at the start, but today has over 100,000 throughout Great Britain and her colonies. He comes over to visit his sister in Fulton, Oswego county, New York. Real Coral the Cheaper. A store in New York which makes a specialty of fancy articles for woman's wear recently displayed in a window two chains of coral beads. One was of round, smoothly polished beads and bore the legend, "Imitation coral, 65 cents." The other, of ragged, uncut coral, was marked, "Real coral, 25 cut coral," Wheat Belt Around Wichita. The Kansas wheat belt centers around Wichita. Within a hundred-mile radius of the town fully 60 per cent of the wheat of Kansas was raised, while in seventeen counties of southern and central Kansas 50 per cent of the yield was reaped. In northern Kansas but little wheat is raised. Damage-Sult Lawyer's Wealth: A lawyer named Patterson died a few days ago in Brooklyn, leaving about $1,000,000, nearly all made by conducting damage suits in cases of accidents and personal injuries, the defendants being chiefly street railroad and similar corporations.

It is so sold that a cake of ice is like a fierce fire as compared with it. for a kettle of liquid air placed on a cake of ice will boll just as water boils over a hot fire. It freezes mercury so hard that one can drive nails in it. The story is told that Mr. Charles E. Tripler, the experimenter in liquid air, recently took a quart can of the remarkable substance with him on a visit to a friend. On the way he stopped in a restaurant to eat a beefsteak. The waiter brought in a hot broiled steak and placed it in front of Mr. Tripler. As soon as the waiter's back was turned Mr. Tripler hastily opened the can and exposed the meat to the liquid air. Instantly the steak was frozen hard as a rock. When the waiter came back his customer complained that the steak was frozen. So the waiter called the head waiter, and the head waiter blamed it all on the cook and the cook was at a loss to explain, and the result was that the frozen steak was taken back into the kitchen as a mysterious curlicue. A new steak was broiled for Mr. Tripler, and this one he ate with much relish. ```markdown ``` --- MANSFIELD COLD INDEED.

Des Moines, July 24—Director J. H Sage of the Iowa leather and Crop Service just issued the follow-ward statement of the crop conditions in this state: The week afforded no relief from the excessive heat prevalent the preceding week and larger part of the month. The past two weeks have broken all previous records of sustained high temperatures for so long a period in this state. The mean at the central station has been 86 degrees, and the average of maximum temperatures above 100 for the fourteen days. Numerous stations report 107 on 201 and 108 on 21st. During several days brisk to high winds blew, but the hot winds have not been so high and destructive as in July, 1894. Some mitigation of the torrid conditions was afforded by scattered showers in portions of the eastern and north central districts, but the drought has not been broken. The reports indicate that early corn in the tasselling stage has suffered material damage in all parts of the state and especially in the southern and eastern districts. Late planted corn on deep, rich soil showing much less injury, rich rains in the north would brighten the outlook for about three-fourths of the crop. The extent of actual loss cannot be estimated at this time. Harvesting small grain crops is nearly completed, and threshing is in progress. Pastures, potatoes, apples and garden truck show continued deterioration. CROP REPORTS EXAGGERATED. Damage Not Great In Northwestern Iowa and Northwestze Nahwelske Sioxn City, July 24—Thoroughly reliable crop statistics received from northeastern Nebraska, northwestern Iowa and southeastern South Dakota by the Iowa State National bank shows that the damage to the crops up to the present time has not been so serious as generally supposed. This information comes from correspondents of the Iowa State National bank, which is heavily interested in hand and cattle paper in all this territory. If rain comes soon the corn crop generally, in northern Iowa and northeastern Nebraska, will be good. Early corn has been hurt in some communities, but the late planting has withstood the drouth remarkably well. Here and there reports indicate that the corn crop has been damaged and is exceptional. Further drouth, however, will do serious harm. Small grain is practically all harvested in northwestern Iowa. Wheat has generally been damaged somewhat, perhaps 15 to 25 per cent. Oats and barley are hurt, but generally the crop promises to be an average one. In northeastern Nebraska the small grain crop is generally reported to be average. In South Dakota the crops in many communities are better than usual. The hay crop throughout this territory is good, but pastures are now suffering. Should corn fail because of continued drought there will be an abundance of rough feed for the winter. ROCK ISLAND ASKS DAMAGES Railroad Sues Twenty-five Citizens of Manson for $25,000. Rockwell City, July 24.—A petition for suit has been filed in the office of the county clerk by the Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific Railway company against twenty-five of the prominent citizens of Manson asking for a judgment for $10,000, that being the price of a house, and for the way and depot grounds in and through the said town of Manson, which the above referred to citizens signed a contract agreeing to pay for if the company would build its Gowrie and northwestern line through that town. They now refuse to pay any part of the purchase price because the suit. The case probably come for trial at the October term of the district court. No More Smallpox at Waterloo No More Smallpox at Waterloo. Waterloo, July 24.—Quarantine has been removed from the last case of smallpox that existed in this city. For the first time in nearly a year the city is free from the pest, although at no time was there any danger of the disease. But the authorities are knowing that it no longer exists here is a great relief to the citizens. With the extra precautions taken by the city authorities and the hot weather the disease has been gradually stamped out and there is every indication to believe that the city and vicinity will be freed from all further attacks of the plague.

Doent streets, did some damage to the newspaper plant of Lafe Young and much more damage to the state bindery of Howard Tedford on the third floor. The total loss is estimated at from $8,000 to $10,000, the major portion of which is on the bindery and state work in the possession of the binder. Former Nurse to Death Fort Dodge, July 23.-T. O. Wangdahl, a farmer near Badger, was burned to death today while defending his home from a fire which started in the neighboring fields from the neighboring fields. Badger dahl was alone, and when he saw fire approaching his home, attempted to fight it off without assistance. In some way his clothing caught fire, and when assistance attracted by hisries and groans reached him he was beyond help. His skin was burned to a crisp. He lived a few hours after being found and expired in the greatest agony. COSTLY DAVENPORT FIRE Twenty City Blocks Swept by an Awful Confligation. Davenport, July 26—Fire laid waste an area of saw mill and residence property in Davenport last evening equal to twenty ordinary city blocks. The flames started at 2:30 o'clock in piles of kindling wood belonging to the Island Fuei, company on the levee. A brisk breeze was blowing, carrying the flames directly across the immense lumber yards of Weyerhauser-Denkmann, which were so seething mass of flames. The approach of the fire was so rapid that workmen barely had time to desert the yard. The flames pushed their way into the adjoining residence district, closely settled with middle class houses. The average value was a few thousand dollars each. The occupants escaped only with their lives and clothing on their backs. Over fifty thus burned, some tenement resulting in 100 families being rendered oneless. The fire was fought heroically by the fire departments of Davenport, Rock Island and Moline, Ill., the latter cities responding promptly to appeal for aid. Efforts to check the flames were unavailing until they spread on the north of the spacious grounds of St. Katherine's hall, a boarding school for young ladies, which was after the tower was waged off. Gradually the fire was waged on the edges of the flaming district. By 10 o'clock the confagration was under control. The mill of the Weyerhauser-Denkmann and yards were totally destroy. Loss, $400,000. The other losses will aggregate $300,000 or more. The U. N. Roberts Sash Door factory, the Red Jacket Pump company, the Standard Oil company, the Riverside mill and the Davenport Woolen mills had narrow escapes, the flames being checked just before reaching them. It is believed there were no fatalities. Not a drop of rain having fallen here in three weeks, the lumber yards furnished food for the flames that quickly put the confagration beyond the control of the firemen. Had the breeze blown from the east the entire business portion of the city would have been swept away. Fortunately a southwest breeze carried the flames towards the bluffs, and as soon as they were out of the thickly settled district the efforts of the firemen and hundreds of volunteers finally brought under control. The entire district from Federal street to Bridge avenue and from the river to Seventh street was swept clean. The heat was intense, and two ambulances were kept busy hauling away persons who were prostrated by it. In a few instances persons living in the burned district have not been located, and the fire has been but it is believed that they escaped. Probably 100 families were rendered homeless by the flames, and homes and hotels were turned over to them for the night. Hundreds of others moved temporarily from their homes, and vacant lots over a large portion of the town were filled in night with fire. The fire refuses the refugees from the burned district. It is believed the fire was caused by boys smoking on the levee. COWNIE ON THE DROUTH. Urges Superintendents of State Farms to Diligently Cultivate Crops. Des Moines, July 25—John Cowie of the state board of control, under the auspices of the board, sent a circular letter to all the superintendents of the state institution, urging them to diligently cultivate the growing crops on the institutions' farms. "That is what the corn and vegetables need," said Mr. Cowie. "Active cultivation of the corn will save Iowa from the drought that has hit Iowa this year. If all the farmers would heed the advice in the letter we have sent out I am confident that they would materially remove the loss they fear that they will suffer. "The fields of Iowa are full of fox tail and weeds. Weeds grow whether there is moisture or not. The lack of cultivation will permit them to choke out the grain by absorbing all the moisture in the soil and dig them up and the corn and vegetables will get the moisture out of the ground and out of the atmosphere both." LARRABEE GIVES $25,000. Upper Iowa University Receives Another Big Gift. Clermont, July 26—Ex-Governor Larrabee has announced a donation o. $2,500 to Upper Iowa university at Fayette. The money will be used in building buildings for the university. This donation following closely after the donation of $25,000 from Andrew Carnegie, secured at the instance of Speaker D. B. Henderson, an alumnus of the university, places the university in good condition. Upper Iowa University has an alumnus under the auspices of the Methodist Episcopal church. It has been in existence for over half a century. Its president at the present time is Guy H. Benton. The work in Upper Iowa university has always been maintained to the highest degree. Wife Dies, Husband Suicides. Dubuque, July 29 - 29, William Kraus, living year Garnville, died and an hour later her husband, overcome with grief, and for the time being, thought to have been insane, took strychine, and died in terrible agony a few minutes later. There will be a double funeral. Cause of Feurhelm's Crime. Glenwood, July 20.—Authorities believe they have found the motive which prompted Fred Feurhelm to the recent double murder and suicide. It is said that a recent discovery that his wife conducted a house of ill fame in Glenwood prior to his marriage so preyed upon his mind that he actually erased. It is also believed that Feurhelm did not intend to suicide, but that when the neighbors were attracted by the confusion, killed himself without attempting to escape. So many troubles are but merely imaginary. NEWS IN GENERAL NEWS IN GENERAL WANTS PALM FOR PRESIDENT. General Gomes says He. In the Most Sane Man. He advocates him. Havana, July 16—General Maximo Gomez, in the course of an open letter setting forth the objects of his recent trip to the United States, asserts that he went to New York with a view of impressing upon T. Estrada Palma the necessity of the republic. "Senor Palma has shown capacity for governing as witness his course course in the war of 68 and also as the delegation of the delegation during the last war," says General Gomez. "His official purity while occupying those positions places Cuba under obligations to him. Not one of us has such a standing as he has with the American people. Taking into consideration the relations which the Cuban republic will bear to the United States, Senor Palma is the logical candidate. As real Cubans we ought to make him aware of the fact that we are in a ward this end, and when it has been accomplished I shall keep apart from politics." SENATOR M'LAREN TURNED OUT. Columbia, S. C., July 26.—The state democratic executive committee late last night adopted a resolution ruling Senator McLaurin out of the democratic party. The action was totally unexpected. Senator Tillman supported the resolution, which was as follows: "Whereas, the Hon. John L. McLaurin, junior senator elected to represent the state of South Carolina in the national congress, has by his affiliations and votes in that body ignored the national democratic plaintive and unrepresented state and his democratic constituents who elected him; "Therefore, Be it resolved that it is the sense and conviction of the democratic state executive committee that Senator John L. McLaurin, from the standpoint of honesty and self-respect, should tender his unqualified resignation immediately." The resolution was adopted by a vote of 25 to 5. THINK THY ARE THE BENDERS. Notorious Family Thought to Have Been Found in Colorado. Topeka, Kan., July 24.—Four persons, believed to be members of the notorious Bender family, accused of committing a score of murders at their home near Galena, Kan., twenty years ago, are believed to have been located near Fort Collins, Colo. Governor Stanley has issued requisition papers on the governor of Colorado for their return to this state. The first step toward bringing the suspects to Kansas were taken upon the representation of Frank Ayres of Fort Collins, who asserts that one of the quartette, Kate Bender, was once his wife. Governor Stanley has issued the requisition upon auldavits of four men who went to Colorado especially to identify the suspects. Rumored That He Is Empowered to Act for the Boers. London, July 26.—"The rumor as to early peace negotiations which has pervaded the house of commons for some days," says the Daily Express, has taken the more definite form that Emperor William is soon to assume the role of leader of the German Kruger and his advisors are represented as having empowered the kaiser to act for the Boers, and he is considered willing to take the initiative in order to popularize himself with the Germans who disapprove of his course with Great Britain. In Kruger's arrival the Hague is connected the Daily Express thinks, with the rumored peace suggestions. HUST SUCCEEDS ALLEN. Present Secretary or Porto Rican Board Will Succeed Governor Allen. Washington, July 24.—Wm. H. Hunt, the present secretary of Porto Rico, has been selected to succeed Governor Chas. Allen upon the retirement of the latter from the insular government.

The formal announcement of the selection of Governor Hunt is withheld until the regular appointment is made and this cannot be before the expiration of the leave of Governor Allen next September. TO INVESTIGATE NAVAL CONDUCT. Secretary Long Names the Members of the Court of Inquiry. Washington, July 26. —Secretary of the Navy John D. Long has selected Admiral Dewey and Rear Admirals Kimberly and Benham as members of the Schley court of inquiry in the Santiago controversy. The secretary also tendered to Captain C.

London, July 24.—The presentation of the freedom of the city of London to Lord Milner of Cape Town at the Guild hall yesterday was made the occasion of a demonstration in favor of a South Africa and the policy of the government. Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial secretary; the Duke of Devonshire and other cabinet ministers, and Sir Claude MacDonald, former minister to China, were present. Lord Milner in a speech said the compromising of the settlement of the North Atlantic Injudicious concessions must not be thought of, nor should the risk of a popular rising be run. The speaker said there was an immense difference between the stout old burghers of the late republic and the "roving ruffians" harrowing their fellow brothers at Cape Colony. While it was resolved to treat the old burghers, when the war was over, with fairness, convincing them, though they had lost their independence, they lost the loss of freedom, the loyalists in South Africa who had shown such splendid devotion to the empire and the work of reconstruction already going on should not be alienated. INQUIRY WILL BE ORDERED Secretary Root Replies to Admiral Schlevy's Request. Washington, July 24.—Secretary Long, in accordance with a request from Admiral Schley, today advised that officer that he would order a court of inquiry to examine into the entire matter of Admiral Schley's course in the Santiago naval campaign. Later the secretary announced that the court would not meet until September. The secretary was asked if the sessions of the court would be open. "Unquestionably," was the emphatic reply. "It would be a great mistake to have a secret court. The country has the right to know all that transpires in the way of testimony offered. I hope to name the personnel of the court tomorrow, and this will give the judge advocate and a more ample time to prepare a list of witnesses who are to be summoned." "Will Admiral Schley be allowed to name witnesses?" "Admiral Schley," was the reply, "will be afforded every opportunity for the appearance of all the witnesses he may desire. He is also entitled under the naval regulations to be represented by counsel." The correspondence follows: Great Neck, Long Island, N. Y., July 22, 1901—Sir: Within the past few days a series of press comments have been sent to me from various parts of the country of a book, entitled "The History of the Navy," written by one Edgar Stanton Maclay. From these reviews it appears that this edition is a third volume of the said history extended to include the late war with Spain, which the first two volumes did not contain, and were in use as text books by the time of Maclay. From excerpts quoted in some reviews, in which the page and paragraph are given, there is such perversion of facts, misconstruction of intention, such intemperate abuse and defamation of myself which subjects Mr. Maclay to action in civil law. While I admit the right of fair criticism of every public officer, I must protest against the low flings and abusive language of this violent, partisan opponent, who has infused into the pages of his book so much of the malice of unfairness to make unjustifiable history of the country in any reputable institution of the country. I have refrained heretofore from all comment upon the innuendoes of enemies muttered or murmured in secret and therefore with safety to themselves. I think the time has now come to take the matter under discussion under the clearer and calmer review of my brothers in arms, and to this end I ask such action at the hands of the department as it may deem best to accomplish this purpose. But I would express the request in this connection whatever the action be that it occur in Washington, where most of my papers and data are stored. Very respectfully, W. S. Schley, Rear Admiral, U. S. N. To the secretary of the navy, Washington, D. C. Navy Department, Washington, July 24, 1901.-Sir: I am in receipt of yours of the 22nd instant, with reference to the criticisms upon you in connection with the Spanish-America-ency, and with hardly approval of action, under the circumstances. In asking, at the hands of this department, such action as may bring this entire matter under discussion under the clearer and calmer review of my brothers in arms. Then the navy department will at once proceed in accordance with your request. Very respectfully. John D. Long. To Rear Admiral W. S. Schley, U. S. N. Turks Halt Greece's Ships. Constantinople, July 26.—The Turkish government has arbitrarily refused to permit the Green squadron to visit Smyrna, Salonica and Mount Athos. Greece sent the usual notification of the projected cruise, but the Porte declined to entertain the proposition on political grounds. Diplomacy followed the attitude of the Turkish government in this particular as illegal. **Leyds Ordered to The Hague.** New York, July 22.—A dispatch from Paris says Dr. Leyds, the representative of the Transvaal, has been summoned in haste to The Hague, in consequence of the divulgement of the Petitz-Steyn letters, which were captured by General Broadwood at Reitz, in the Orange river colony. **Bryan Scores the Boattern in Ohio.** Cleveland, O., July 23.—In a letter to G. A. A. Root, prominent in the "Bryan Boattern," I. Bryan has thrown cold water on the entire movement. He informs the bottlers that they can expect no sympathy from him. PORTO RICAN PROCLAMATION. It Establishes Free Trade Between the Island and the United States. Washington, July 26. The president yesterday issued his proclamation establishing free trade between Porto Rico and the United States and declaring the organization of civil government for the island. The proclamation is purely formal and only in the body of the resolutions adopted by the Porto Rican legislature (heretofore published) does it appear that the island is set free commercially today in commemoration of the planting of the American flag on the island. The proclamation is headed. "Cessation of Tariff—Porto Rico." It recites that the act of April 12, 1900 (otherwise known as the Foraker act), provided that whenever the Porto Rican legislature has enacted and put into operation that system of local taxation to meet the needs of the government and by resolution so notified the president, the latter shall issue a proclamation and all duties on goods passing between the United States and Porto Rico will still be imposed on the legislature has compiled with that requirement of the act in terms set out in the resolutions, which are quoted in full in the body of the proclamation that document says; "Therefore, I William McKinley, president of the United States, in pursuance of the provisions of the law above quoted and upon the forgoing due notice, do hereby issue this, my proclamation and do declare and make known that a civil government for Porto Rico has been organized in accordance with the provisions of the said act of congress. "And I do further declare and make known that the legislative assembly of Porto Rico has enacted and put into operation a system of local taxation to meet the necessities of the government of Porto Rico. "In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed. "Done at the city of Washington, this 25th day of July, of our Lord 1901, and of the independence of the United States the 126th.—William McKinley. "By the president—David J. Bill, Acting Secretary of State." SAYS KANSAS CAN STAND IT. Paul Morton of Santa Fe Road Talks of Grow Conditions New York, July 26--Vice President Paul Morton of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway is here and talks freely on crop conditions and the business outlook with special reference to the interests of the great system with which he is connected. "It is true," said Mr. Morton, "that the corn crop in Kansas and Missouri is better by winds, but I think the reports of damage in Nebraska and Iowa have been very much exaggerated. Corn in Illinois, Indiana and Cizio is looking well and with rain ought to make an average crop. The loss of the corn crop in Kansas and Missouri to the railroads is not anything like the serious matter which it used to be. Take, for instance, the Atchison road. It has the tonnage to such an extent that corn is now used the all-important factor as it used to be in making earnings. "There are many things that can happen to make up the loss of the corn crop and the people of Kansas and the railways are to be congratulated on the prosperous condition as in time meet this loss. The people of Kansas were treated as much and owed as little as they do today." WAR SCHOOLS FOR WEST. Secretary Root Selecta Sites for Places of Military Instruction. Washington, July 24.—Secretary of War Root has just returned to the war department after a tour of inspection in the west, and is of the opinion that one of the four schools of soldiers, contemplated by congress, ought to be in the east. One of the schools for applied military science will probably be at Fort Leavenworth, another at Fort Riley and a third at Fort Sheridan. What is needed in the opinion of the war department is plenty of ground for maneuvers. At some of the places the secretary has in mind the government has areas of 2,000 or 3,000 acres. Secretary Root said that the advance in military science tended to individual action rather than the old fashion of fighting in masses and columns. The contrast of the new school as against the old school, he said, was precisely that of Washington and Braddock. British Train Captured and Burned. London, July 24.—The British war office has received the following dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, July 23. "A train from Belfast to the 13 mm, detains stores, was held up, captured and burned at Scheepers, eight miles north of Beaufort West, on the morning of July 21. Our casualties were three killed and eighteen wounded. An inquiry is proceeding. French reports that Crabbe, with 300 men, was attacked by the mountains near Dick Kritzinger. The horses stamped. An all day fight followed. Crabbe fell back on Mortimer. Our loss was slight." Youngers Get Jobs Stillwater, Minn., July 24—Coleman and James Younger, after their twenty-five years in the state prison, will begin work as salesmen for a St. Paul dealer in gravestones and memorials. He has signed the contract for their new work and they will leave for St. Paul today. South African War. Durban, Natal, July 22.—In consequence of the Boer raids into Natal and the support given the raiders by the republicans the military authorities have ordered all white men, with their live stock, food stuffs, and closing to evacuate all farms between the Tagela and Sundeas rivers. Any white man remaining in this section of the country after July 31, will be subject to martial law. Death of Mrs. Kruger. Paris, July 22.—A dispatch from Brussels says former President Kruger has been notified by cable that his wife died Saturday at Pretoria. NOTES FROM THE CAPITA Des Moines, July 26, 1901 The state dairy commissioner has sent out circulars calling the attention of the butter makers to the liberal premiums offered this year by the state fair for exhibits of creamery, dairy and package butter and cheese. Last year the creamery butcher pro forma was $350 and the minimum 94. This year's premium amount to $505, with the minimum at 91½. It is expected that there will be a larger butter exhibit at the state fair this year than has ever been known in the history of the state. The premiums are better and conditions generally more satisfactory to the butter makers. The state labor, commissioner is compiling reports received from the wage earners of the state, in which among other things they tell what legislation would be of benefit to their particular calling. These reports are now being classified for the purpose of being embodied in the biennial report of the labor commissioner. The purpose in soliciting them is that they may be put before the legislature as a fair showing of what the laboring people of the state want. While the statements have not been made, large numbers as was desired, the leading trades are represented and it is to say that the report of the labor commissioner will show what legislation the wage earners believe is most necessary. It is a new feature of the labor commissioner's report and one which it is believed will serve to present the cause of the working men to the legislature in an effective way. The statements were received from the wage earners as a part of what is known as the individual wage earners statement, which the labor commissioner is required to solicit. The answers to the inquiries in regard to legislation will be used as a special chapter of the report and not embodied in the general statistical table. Judge Smith McPherson of the United States circuit court for the Southern district of Iowa, has handled down a decision in the Des Moine City Railway tax case, in which the order restraining John McKay, county treasurer, from selling property of the street car company for back taxes, is continued in force indefinitely. The Illinois Trust and Saving Bank, holders of bonds of the street car company, secured the restraining order, on account that its securities would be impaired by the sale of the property. Treasury McKay entered a motion to dissolve the restraining order. The court's refusal is based upon the fact that the case should be, and is, properly before the Polk county district court, and no sale of the road should be permitted until the case is decided. The court also holds that the county officers cannot rightfully be parties to the appeal of the street car company from the assessment of the city council sitting as a board of equalization. Finally, Judge McPherson leaves the case in the hands of the state courts, expressing "no doubt that the Iowa courts will take the proper action." Judge Holmes has decided the case of B. F. Granger vs. Treasurer McKay and Polk county, in which he holds that the ferrets cannot collect taxes on personal property for the first five year limit having expired. This position puts a bar on collections on personal property for the year 1896. Dr. Patterson, statistician for the state board of control, proposes to call the attention of the legislature to the need of reforms in the laws of the state pertaining to the management of jails and poor houses. Institutions of this kind do not come under the jurisdiction of the board of control, but Dr. Patterson, who has been looking into the conditions of jails and poor houses on his own account, has obtained a great deal of valuable information. He will submit this to the board of control when his statistical report is made and hopes to call the facts to the attention of the legislature in such a way as to insure improvements in the laws. The needed improvements relate not only to the unsanitary conditions of jails and poor houses, but also to the number of feeding places whereby the jailer or shipwright receives a stated allowance per meal. Under the present system the profits to the jailer from meals depends on the number of prisoners he has and on this account the influence of the jailer is likely to be extended to keeping the jail population at as high a point as possible. Members of the board of control are impressed with the need of improvements along this line, though officially having no jurisdiction in the matter. W. H. Hanson of Luanna, Clayton county, has written to the management of the state fair asking to be allowed to exhibit a herd of buffalo on the grounds. Mr. Hanson is said to have the only herd of buffalo in the state. Inasmuch as these animals are becoming rare, it is not improbable the fair management will give Mr. Hanson permission to display the herd here. It is understood the herd consists of eleven fine animals. There is some question whether they shall be exhibited free of charge or kept in an enclosure and an admission fee charged. If this question can be settled, there is a strong probability this unique exhibit will be secured. Turkish Order Against Christianity. Constantinople, July 20.—Following the graduation of the first Turkish girl at the American Girls' college, the Turkish government has issued an edict prohibiting Turkish children from attending foreign schools, the employment of Christian teachers in Turkish schools, or the appeal of Turkish ladies in public companies by Christian women companions. This edict deprives hundreds of foreign governesses of the means of subsistence. It is intended to prevent the dissemination of eral ideas. JUDGE'S WIFE CURED OF PELVIC CATARRK. Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 2127 West 33rd st., Minneapolis, Minn., as follows: "I suffered for years with a pain in the small of my back and right side. It interfered often with my domestic and social life, and that did not be cured, as the doctor's medicine did not seem to help me any. Fortunately a member of our Order advised me to try Peruna and gave it such high praise that I decided to try it. Although I started in with little faith, I felt so much better in a week that I felt encouraged. "I took it faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that I truly cured. Words fail to express my gratitude. Perfect health once more is the best thing I could wish for, and thanks to Peruna enjoy that now."—Minnie E. McAllister. The great popularity of Peruna as a catarrh remedy has tempted many people to imitate Peruna. A great many so-called catarrh remedies and catarrhal tonics are to be found in many drug stores. These remedies can be procured by the druggist much cheaper than Peruna. Peruna can only be obtained at a uniform price, and no druggist can get it a cent cheaper. Thus it is that druggists are tempted to substitute the cheap imitations of Peruna for Peruna. It is done every day without a doubt.

Augustus Hare tells this story in his autobiography of a friend, who, in some way, was one of the most absent-minded men in the world. One day, meeting a friend, he said: Hello, what a long time it is since I've seen you! How's your father?" "Oh, my father's dead," "God's me! I'm my son!" The next year he met the same man again, and had forgotten all about it, so began with: "Hello, what a long time since I've seen you! How's your father?" "Oh, my father's dead still." A white minister was conducting religious services in a colored church in North Carolina recently. After exhorting a bit, he asked an old colored deacon to lead in prayer, and, according to the Roanoke News, this is the appeal which the brother in black offered for his brother in white: "O Lord, gib him de eye ob de eagle dat he spy out sin afar off. Glue his hands to de gospel plow. The his tongue to de line of truth. Nail his hands to de spike he plow.

Everything he tried failed, till a friend of his recommended a new remedy—Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr. Johnson used them, and the result surprised him. He is as well as ever he was, completely cured, and working away every day. His case is regarded by those who knew how very bad he was, as almost a miracle, and Dodd's Kidney Pills are a much talked of medicine. Often the flower of the family makes poor bread.

Nowadays scientists believe that in cleanliness lies the secret of prevention of diseases. You treat a disease, remove the cause. Just as unclean habits breed many diseases, so careless habits will breed dandruff. Improper use of another's brushes, combs, etc., will surely cause dandruff, and in time will just as surely cause burn. It's microbial infection, nothing more, nor less. Newbro's Herpicide kills the dandruff germ, and causes hair to grow luxuriantly. Herpicide is absorbed into the hair from grease or other injurious substances.

In Disguise Warns Steel Workers to Keep Peace. SEES PLOT OF THE COMBINE. Non-Union Men Arriving at Wallowell Threatened with Violence—Some Are Seat Out of Town—Experience of a Strike-Breaker. Wellsville, O., July 26.—President T. J. Shaffer of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers was in Wellsville in disguise in the afternoon. He came down from Pittsburgh. On the same train were four men who claimed to be sheetworkers, but were not. No one in the crowd noticed an old man with stooped shoulders, a slouch hat drawn well down over his face, and carrying a gripsack. The man went to a hotel where he sent for Vice President Chappell and other strike leaders, who found enough of a disguise removed to show the man was President Shaffer. Shaffer claimed four men on the train were sent down to incite the strikers to violence, so the mill management could apply for an injunction. He heard of their intention to go on the 3 o'clock train. With the idea of being a star witness in the event of trouble he disguised himself. Shaffer said: "There will be no injunction. There has been no disturbance and there will be none. Until some overt act is committed there can be no application. An injunction in this case would only serve to aggravate matters and would do more than anything else to precipitate trouble. It would also hasten a conference of all the labor leaders of the country for a consideration of the question." On the same train with Mr. Shaffer from Pittsburgh came nine nonunion men from Apollo and Duncansville, five of whom evaded the strikers' committee and went to work in the mill, while the other four, after going through an experience with the 100 strikers, which at one time seemed likely to end in violence, agreed not to work in the mill and returned to Pittsburgh. The experience of the nonunion men assumed a threatening aspect for a time, but the quickness of five got them into the company offices almost before the train had come to a halt. The strikers had received notice of the coming of the men and met the train. When the nonunionists tumbled off they were surrounded. No violence was attempted, but the greeting of catcalls and ugly epithets was calculated to put the newcomers in anything but an easy frame of mind. Four succumbed to the arguments of the strikers and returned to Pittsburgh. William Carpenter, a professional strike-breaker, who has been working in the nonunion sheet mills at Apollo, was run out of town, amid the jeers and hoots of 500 strikers and sympathizers, who gathered at the station. Carpenter was probably never more glad to get out of any place than he was Wellsville. He went there last night and was at once taken charge of by the strikers. He was invited to go to the fishing camp of strikers on the West Virginia side of the Ohio river, but declined to go. Being urged, he became defiant, but on the invitations becoming more pressing, he consented. At the camp, in virtual imprisonment, he consented to leave Wellsville. Negroes Afraid: Train Waiting: Chicago, July 26.—While residents of Maywood, Melrose Park and Bellwood waited along the tracks of the Chicago Junction railway at 2 o'clock this morning to bar out the trainload of Southern negroes, the much-sought train was sidetracked at Blue Island. The Illinois Central road turned the special train over to the Junction railway at 12:20. None of the negroes on board had tasted food since morning, and they were badly scared, so it was decided not to proceed to Melrose Park till daylight. William King of the Latrobe company, who was in charge of the train, began to forage through the town in the hope of securing food for his throng. The negroes were loud in their protestations that they would not have come North had they known such a tempest was brewing. Ice Handlers Strike. Bangor, Me.

Flagstaff, Arizona, July 25—Dr. Joshua Miller, one of the leading anthropological students of this country, died here today after a brief illness. He was born in Missouri and was 55 years old. Dr. Miller spent nearly a lifetime in the study of prehistoric races in the southwest, and had almost completed his researches, which he believed would establish the fact of a connection between the Pueblo Indians and the earliest inhabitants of this continent. He was on the way for a final conference with snake priests of the Moqui tribe before giving out the results of his discoveries when he was taken ill with pneumonia, which caused his death. Indianapolis, Ind., July 26.—Edgar W. Abbott, president of languages at Butler university, was drowned in Broad ripple, just above the city.

USE MEANS TO STOP PLAGUE REAPPEARS ON THE COAST. Reports of Increased Mortality from Bubonic Plague Continue to Come in from Nearly Every Part of the World —Five Thousand Deaths. Washington, D. C., July 26.—Surgeon General Wyman has received information in regard to the case of bubonic plague discovered on the steamship Hohenfels at New York. Dr. Wyman said this afternoon the diagnosis was unquestionably correct, but the most active and thorough measures would be taken to prevent infection reaching shore. Despite the most rigorous measures of precaution bubonic plague still appears in San Francisco. The thorough cleaning up of Chinatown under supervision of the federal authorities was completed on June 22, and no cases of the dreaded disease appeared during the cleaning process, but it had hardly been finished when the infection broke out once more. Three cases were discovered between July 6 and July 11. All were fatal and were reported to the marine hospital service in Washington with the following comments: "Diagnosis confirmed by bacteriological examination and necessary precaution taken. Passed Assistant Surgeon Rupert入驻, in charge, and the assistants continue to cooperate with the state and city health authorities in making inspections and post-mortem examinations." Reports of increased mortality from bubonic plague continue to come in from United States marine hospital surgeons in nearly every part of the world. In Hong-Kong there have been 1,154 cases and 1,088 deaths, and the most rigid inspection of incoming and outgoing passengers and baggage is exercised. There were 115 deaths during the week ending on June 11. A large number of deaths daily are reported from Canton, China. Plague has been especially severe in the cities of Tung Kun and Sheck Lung on the east river. Plague is reported from many cities in Egypt, from British India, Mauritius, Cape Colony and West Australia, and Queensland. The epidemic is increasing alarmingly in Formosa, and Japanese ports are also dangerously threatened and active sanitary measures have been taken. Since May 12, 5,716 deaths from bubonic plague in various ports of the world have been reported by United States officers. BASEBALL GAMES American League At Chicago.....

Coolness Saves Mayor of Alton From a Madman's Frenzy. Alton, Ill., July 25—"Your time has come," said Robert Blanton of Malden, Mo. to Mayor A. W. Young of this city, as he placed his hand on the latter's shoulder. "Who are you? Where did you come from, and who sent you?" asked the mayor. "I came straight down from the sky. God sent me and told me to kill you. The sun is going to drop down today and set the earth after, and I am sent to spare you that death." The man had a revolver, his eyes blazed with madness and his face with determination. "It is awfully hot weather to be killed," said the mayor. "Suppose we go and get a cool drink first." "I don't drink, but I will go with you till you get one," was the reply, and together they walked two blocks until the mayor marched into police headquarters, where the man was captured and disarmed. He had become suddenly crazed from heat. SIX HURT ON ROCK ISLAND. Passenger Trains Nos. 6 and 25 in Collision in town. Des Moines, Ia., July 25.

(Afro-american Ledger) We have heard, yea so often, And we know that it is true, ‘That the hand that rocks the cradle Rocks the nations progress too: This is truth of great importance By an ancient poet sung; Greater truth in words or rhythm Never fell from human tongue. Think O gentle colored daughters ‘That this proverb speaks to you Sayiog e’er with watchful warning, “What a work is yours to do, For you are the mighty pillars On which rests the nation’s fate— Will you careless face your duties, Will you idle stand and wait?” Yon to show your people justice, Show them truth and equity Must prepare yourselves to lead them Where the gods of wisdom be. Build in time the characters ‘That will ft you for the place; ‘As you stand as wives and mothers 8o shall stand the Negeo race. Oft I've seen you sprightly maidens In the health and flush of youth Contemplating matrimony ‘With no earnest thought forsooth Of the vigilance and patience Which should compass you around That you build up homes so godly Where the evil is not found. Homes the like of these will give us Men of wisdom, atrength and might Who will dare to venture all things Leading to the just and right. When the tender bud of childhood Are intrusted to your care ’Tia a vision sweet to mold them Into bright lights shining fair. Give them early unto Jesus, Pray that He your helper be And the coming generations ‘Shull His benediction see. For the promise tells us plainly ‘They who by His truths abide Shall be hovered 'neath the shadow Of the cross so glorified. Never let them stray and wander, Keep them dutiful and true Teaching them to know that some- things, Given to each one to do Asa duty to his country, To his God end fellowman; Each and every one may render Service fitly as he can.

DES MOINES FUNERAL REFORM ASSOCIATION. 1115 West Locust St. The cost of first class funerals has constantly grown until it falls with crushing weight upon people in moderate circumstances. Death comes to us all, and the wise man provides in advance for meeting the expense of his own funeral or that of members of his family. The Des Moines Funeral Reform Association has been organized for the purpose of providing first-class funerals for its members at a moderate cost, and thus avoid excessive charges. Any person may become a member of this Association for a period of ten years for the sum of one dollar, and as such members will be entitled, in case of death in the family, to a well-trimmed casket, the use of a hearse, five hacks, the undertaker's services and chairs for the sum of forty-five ($45.00) dollars. Don't be deceived by misrepresentations made by interested parties, who may in the past have charged you twice what we are charging for the same service, but call on us at 1115 Locust Street, see our service, and be prepared to provide intelligently in case of a need in our line.

Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good.

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 Friday, August 21, 22 and 23. It is generally conceded that the meeting held in Boston last August was one of the most successful 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 apparent in all parts of the country. Any person engaged in any commercial enterprise or properly delegated to represent any individual or individuals engaged in commercial enterprise, is entitled to membership under such regulations as may be adopted. Women 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 strengthened wherever necessary, and that these local leagues send delegates, 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 organizations hold meetings monthly as far as practical; that everything possible be done in these local organizations to discourage complicated and useless parliamentary machinery, and that parliamentary and technical discussions be avoided, as far as possible, with a view to concentrating 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 perpersons 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, Alabama, as early as convenient. The time has come for the race to take a long step forward in establishing itself permanently and more generally in the business of the community where it resides. Let no legislation or attempted legislation discourage or dishearten 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 character 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, President, Tuskegee, Alabama. T. Thomas Fortune, Chairman, Executive Committee, 4 Clerk Street, N. Y. E. E. Cooper, Secretary, 459 J Street, N. W., Washington, D.

Lady Eagleton rejoiced exceedingly at Roy's departure, while Mabel mourned, and Mildred with her mother expressed trust sympathy. But as there comes to every grief some grain of comfort, so the third morning there came to Mabel a letter directed in an unknown handwriting, which she took with falsely assumed indifference that tallied but badly with her brightened eyes, and carried away to her own room, there to read and re-read it. Her grand-aunt, who seldom came down to breakfast, and who on this particular occasion had been prompted by some evil genius so to do, had witnessed the arrival of the post-bag, the distribution of the letters, and Mabel's conscious smile and blush as she received hers. As her ladyship never forgot an injury—always making it a point to repay it, if possible four-fold—and as the late skirmish in the drawing-room was still fresh in her mind, she felt this was an opportunity not to be neglected, so she spoke as follows: "I did not imagine it possible, Caroline, that you would allow your daughters to receive and open letters from gentlemen without first handing them to you for inspection." "My dear Aunt Harriet, what do you mean?" asked her niece anxiously who knew her meaning well enough, but was afraid to say so. "I may have been mistaken," said her ladyship, with heavy accentuation, and considerable severity; "but I certainly did think I saw Mabel receive a letter just now, addressed in the hand-writing of a gentleman." Hearing this Lady Caroline grew suddenly unhappy, and half believing her aunt to be in the right, and half fearing she herself was acting with imprudence toward her daughters, asked Mildred privately to find out from her sister whether the letter in question was everything it ought to be. "Not that I wish to force myself into her confidence," Lady Caroline said—"you understand that, Mildred—I have the fullest faith in Mabel, and I know the dear child would show me her letter sooner or later—but merely to satisfy your grandaunt; she is so hard on Mabel—that I want her to see how dutiful in reality she can be." "I understand," said Mildred, who never despised her mother's weakness, however strong she might feel herself to be, and went up-stairs to Mabel's room, which she found locked against all intruders. "Mabel, open the door, dearest," she said, knocking gently on the outside; whereupon, after a minute's interval, Mabel did open the door, and stood on the threshold slightly defiant in appearance. "Oh, it is you, Mildred!" she said, with an assumption of surprise. "May I not come in darling?" inquired Miss Trevianon, reproachfully. "Of course you can come in," the queen answered ungrubiously moving a hand to one side. Mildred drew new steps into the room, and closed the door. Mabel, will you not show it to me?" she said. "So that is it!" cried Mabel. "I thought so. Aunt Harriet's revengeful expression when the post came in was not thrown away upon me. She has been dictating to mamma, and saying of me all sorts of things as unjust as they are untrue; and mamma, in turn, has been dictating to you. Now there is no use in your trying to gloss over matters, Mildred; I can understand it all as distinctly as though I had been present. I have never before been asked to deliver up my letters for public inspection, and I don't intend to do so now. It is easy in such case to draw conclusions, and, if Aunt Harriet imagines she can control my actions, she makes a very great mistake—and so you may tell her. He did not write for her eyes—he wrote solely for mine." She had worked herself into a high state of indignation by this time. "Of course he did," said Mildred; "do you think I cannot understand that? Mamma said distinctly you were not to be asked to show your letter even to her, until you wished to do so of your own accord." Then, sympathetically—"Is it a love letter, Mabel?" "Well, yes, I suppose so," acknowledged "the queen," demurely, her whole pretty, angry face breaking into smiles of inexpressible happiness, as she thought of all the love the letter contained. Then there came the unconquerable longing to share her secret with somebody—to let some other eyes besides her own see how dearly she was beloved—to her some other voice declare how sweet and true and perfect a letter was. "If—if you will promise faithfully, Mildred, not to tell any one, I will let you see it." "I promise faithfully," said Mildred. And then Mabel went over to her drawer, and, having opened it, slowly and tenderly drew from it the harmless letter that had caused all the disturbance down-stairs. "Now read," she said; and, Mildred taking it, she drew back behind her mister, lest by any chance the flush that brightened her cheeks during the reading might be seen. "My darling queen," it began, and, after the usual run of information relative to the passage, reception, climate and suchlike uninteresting matters went on to say how much the writer missed her—how well he loved her—how entirely every thought of his was centered upon her alone, and how he had that day written to her father explaining how affairs stood between them, and asking permission to make her his wife as soon as things should have arranged themselves. It was very like all other love letters, and wound up with an earnest, loving entreaty that she would not forget him—that whatever happened she would be true to him. "I would rather be dead than hear that you had been untrue to me," were his words. "Remember this! Not that I feel anything but the most faith in you. Ever, my own darling, your affectionate Roy Blount." So it ended. Miss Trevanion, as she folded it, felt a sensation of sudden tightening at her throat. How good a thing it seemed to her just then to be be loved—to have tender words on paper folded up and sent to one with the certain knowledge in one's breast that somebody was waiting with impatient heart for other tender words in return. Meanwhile "the queen" was standing gazing into her face with eager, longing eyes. "It is not the very sweetest letter?" she said, innocently. "The very sweetest letter I ever read," returned her sister, kissing the upturned lips. Then she went back to the cherished production, and read it again with a fresh warm interest that went straight to Mabel's heart. "Well, perhaps you had better take it down and show it to mamma," she said, relenting; "but do not let Aunt Harriet see you, Mildred." So Mildred, having given the desired assurance, carried the letter away with her to Lady Caroline, who read it with eyes tenderly suffused. Sir George, coming in at the moment with the companion epistle in his hand, containing a manly straightforward proposal for Mabel, read it also, and signified his intense satisfaction In and approbation of the entire affair. But the engagement must of necessity be a long one, so he decided, the young man—though with great expectations on all sides—having little at the present time beyond his pay. They were both only just as the commencement of their lives, so could afford to wait until a year or two had gone over their heads; and when once Roy could sign himself "Captain," they might begin to look at things in a nearer light. So it was arranged, to the delight of all concerned, except Lady Eagleton, who objected to every argument that could be produced in their favor, protesting obstinately to the very last that the girl was throwing herself away. It so happened that by mutual consent they had all maintained strict taciturnity on the subject of the Youngs—their antecedents as merchants pur et simple not being considered such as would meet the views of Lady Eagleton. She had wonderfully relieved their minds by letting them know of her intention to spend Christmas with some more fortunate relatives farther south, and indeed had named a day in the ensuing week as that on which she would deprive them of her society. The whole house instantly brightened up, and began to look more like itself, while it was thought with confidence that the Younges' visit might now indeed forever be kept in the dark, so far as their grand-aunt was concerned. But Eddie, unluckily, as it appeared afterward, had been the only one not warned on the matter, and therefore it was he who, on the Sunday before her departure, brought down her ladyship's wrath upon the family. Lord Lyndon was a great favorite with her, he having a certain placid deferential way with him that never failed to propitiate even the most obdurate of old ladies. She characterized him as well-bred, courteous and gentlemanly, looking upon him as a young man who had happily escaped all the contaminations of the period. "I consider it a most fortunate thing, in this out-of-the-way place, your having as a constant visitor a young man so distinguished," she said; and then she asked again, for about the hundredth time, "And where did you first become acquainted with him?" "Well, just about the time the Younges were here as well as I can recollect," answered Eddie promptly, who was unhappy present. "The Younges? Who are they that I have never heard their names mentioned?" "Old Young went in for cotton some years ago," answered Eddie, frankly, and without a moment's hesitation—"a mode of making money that I fear your ladship will scarcely appreciate; but it paid uncommonly well in his case, if we are to believe all the accounts we hear. Strange to say, too, the trade mark is not so apparent on them as it might have been. The son, Denzil Younge, is one of the nicest fellows you could possibly meet, while the daughter—you should just ask the girls about her, Aunt Harriet; they will tell you about her—what a "perfect treasure" she is." Her ladship was above understanding "chaff." Oh, indeed," said she, in such a son strained, stiff tone that Eddie looked up amazed, and, catching sight of his mother's deapraising, and Mabell's dismayed expression, discovered for the first time that he had been the cause of much disturbance in the bosom of his family for the past five minutes. Lady Eagleton maintained a studied, not to say ominous, silence during the remainder of the meal, giving no vent to her outraged feelings until the ladies rose to return to the drawing-room, leaving the happier sex to discuss their wine in peace. When the former were seated round the fire—for it was more than ordinarily cold even for November—and the old lady had comfortably ensconced herself in the sung arm-chair specially brought down from the upper regions to meet her wants, she began: "Caroline, is this thing true that I have been hearing?" she said, solemnly. "What thing, Aunt Harriet?" asked her piece faintly. "Don't prevaricate," said Lady Eagleton. "I warn you it is best to be open and above-board with me. Speak the truth—is it possible that you have had a cotton merchant's family on terms of intimacy at King's Abbot, enjoying free association with your daughters, your sons." Poor Lady Caroline felt herself a child once more, in hopeless bondage to her aunt, and crossing her soft white hands helplessly upon her lap looked with imploring eyes at Milred, and Mildred looked straight into the fire. "They were friends of George's Aunt Harriet," she ventured to murmur. "Then they were here?" ejaculated the old woman, in an awful voice. "Yes, they were here, confessed Lady Caroline, in a nervous whisper. "Mabel, my smelling salts," said the dowager; and Mabel rose to comply with her demand. "Would you wish for some eau-de-cologne, Ann Harriet?" she asked, meekly. "It might do you good." "I always felt George was a radical," she said, in an aggrieved voice; "I always knew his tendencies were low. But that he should go to the length of introducing to his private circle people connected with trade never for an instant occurred to me as possible, even in my wildest flights of imagination. How could you, Caroline, stand tamely by and permit such proceedings to be consummated in your house? How could you allow low, vulgar persons to associate with the members of your household?" "But they were not at all vulgar," Lady Caroline ventured to remonstrate. "Do not tell me," interrupted her aunt, warmly, "and do not try to excuse your conduct by endeavoring to throw a halo of respectability round such people. Edward spoke of a son; was he the sort of person to be thrown in your daughters' way—to aspire to the hand of one perhaps? Mildred, I appeal to you, as the most rightly-judging individual in this house, what was your opinion of this Mr. Younge?" Mildred's long dark eyelashes quivered slightly, and her color rose a degree as for a moment she hesitated, but, when at length she did speak, it was with perfect composure. "I think that in bearing, look, and manner he was an unmistakable gentleman." she said—"the warmest-hearted and the truest I have ever met." Lady Eagleton was struck dumb. She was astounded. She had so entirely depended upon Mildred for support; and now she found herself with no language ready in which to express her just indignation. "You have made me acquainted with a new phase in your character," she said to Mildred, in what was meant to be a withering tone—"one with which I have been hitherto totally unacquainted. And, as I have not an idea in common with anybody in this house —now that you have declared yourself—I think the sooner I leave it the better. I shall therefore hasten my departure even more than I have done, and beg you all to understand that I depart on Wednesday." WHERE COFFEE CAME FROM. Legend Glives the Lethan Berry a Romantic Origen and History. There is extant a tale of the discovery of coffee, a story which might have suggested to Charles Lamb the idea for his "Dissertation on Roast. Pig." This is the legend: Toward the middle of the fifteenth century a poor Arab was traveling in Abyssinia, and finding himself weak and weary from fatigue he stopped near a grove. Then, being in want of fuel to cook his rice, he cut down a tree, which happened to be full of dead berries. His meal being cooked and eaten, the traveler discovered that the half-burned berries were very fragrant. Collecting a number of these and crushing them with a stone, he found that their aroma had increased to a great extent. While wondering at this he accidentally let fall the substance into a can which contained a scant supply of water. Lo, what a miracle! The almost putrid liquid was instantly purified. He brought it to his lips; it was fresh, agreeable, and in a moment after the traveler had so far recovered his strength and energy as to be able to resume his journey. The lucky Arab gathered as many berries as he could, and having arrived at Arden, in Arabia, he informed the multil of his discovery. This worthy divine was an inveterate opium smoker, who had been suffering for years from the effects of that poisonous drug. He tried an infusion of the roasted berries and was so delighted at the recovery of his own vigor that, in gratitude to the tree he called it cabauh, which in Arabic signifies force.—Chicago Chronicle. THE KETTLE There's many a house of grandeur, With turret and tower and dome, That knows not peace or comfort, And does not prove a home. I do not ask for splendor To crown my daily lot. But this I ask—a kitchen Where the kettle's always hot. If things are not all ship-shape, I do not fume or fret, A little clean disorder Does not my nerves upset. But one thing is essential, Or seems so to my thought. And that's a tidy kitchen, Where the kettle's always hot. In my Aunt Hattie's household Though skies outside are drear, Though times are dark and troubled, You'll always find good cheer, And in her quaint old kitchen— The very homestick spot— The kettle's always singing, The water's always hot. And if you have a headache, What'e'er the hour may be, There is no tedious waiting To get your cup of tea. I don't know how she does it— Some magic she has caught— For the kitchen's cool in summer, Yet the kettle's always hot. Oh, there's naught else so dreary In household kingdom found, As a cold and sullen kettle, That does not make a sound, And I think that love is lacking In the hearts in such a spot, Or the kettle would be singing And the water would be hot. Germination of a Love Affair. BY GUION P. WILSON. (Copyright, 1981, by Daily Story Pub. Co.) I have just come to a knowledge of certain facts which I deem it my imperative duty to make public for two reasons—first, because they clear up the mystery of the disappearance of that great and original investigator, my friend, Professor X. (whose many friends will, after perusing what is here set down, easily recognize him without the mention of his name, which, made in so public a manner, would, I know, be highly offensive to him), and, second, because I hope they will cause some other scientist of prominence to follow up the unique and, I conceive, eminently important line of investigation initiated by Professor X. I say that I have just come to a knowledge of these facts. This is the exact truth, although the said facts have been in my possession for the past three months. To be plain, just before the Professor disappeared so completely I received through the mail a note from him with a sealed enclosure which his note requested me to open and read three months after it reached me. This I have just done. The enclosure I found to be the Professor's notes upon the progress of a most remarkable and unusual series of experiments founded upon the germ theory. In this connection I wish to say that while, in common with his other friends, I of course knew of the Professor's keen interest in this theory, I had had not the slightest hint that he had struck out so boldly in the field of original research. So radical has been the Professor's Something has gone wrong. departure in these experiments from the beaten track that I have thought it best to give an almost exact reproduction of the notes in my possession, merely editing them and eliminating, as far as possible, the phraseology of the scientist that would be in large measure unintelligible to the layman. I give the notes in the order in which they appear in the book containing them. They were evidently jotted down at different times, but none are dated, though the last was manifestly written immediately before the Professor dropped out of sight. "I am fascinated. For some time I have been studying those two strongest of human passions—love and hate—and their origin. They are interesting to the investigator if for no other reason than that they set all accepted rules at defiance. Instances are plenty of the manifestation of love where the opposite should, according to the so-called laws of nature, appear. The papers recently noted that a large and venomous snake had killed a setting hen and then carefully hatched and reared her chicks. The killing of their own offspring by animals of many kinds is common. The sentiments of parents toward their children and vice versa are all too often at variance with the rule. How are these facts to be accounted for? "As far back as we can trace, love and hate have been known by common consent as matters of the heart. Such things very often have a foundation in fact—why may not this have? And if there is any real connection, may it not, since the heart is merely the forcepump of the blood, lie in the life-fluid itself? And, this granted, might we not go a step further and imagine that there exist germs of the two master passions?" Here follow numerous entries of so technical a nature that they are quite beyond my understanding. They are I saw J enter. evidently notes of the succeeding steps in a very lengthy series of experiments. However interesting they may prove hereafter to a scientist, they need not be inserted here. The latter notes, however, tell of a successful outcome. "I verily believe that I have at last succeeded in isolating the germs of love and hate!" Then is set forth at length the scientific descriptions of these germs, the number of which present in any case, according to the Professor, governs the degree of the sentiment. The notes continue: "Given a culture of the germ of love in the blood of one animal and another animal inoculated with that culture, the animal so inoculated will love the one whose blood furnished the culture medium. The same' is true of the germ of hate. I believe that I have eliminated every possibility of error, but I shall, of course, put my conclusions to further tests." "A cat in a cage at my elbow is nursing carefully a litter of tiny mice, orphaned by tabby herself. She ate their mother. I have a hawk rearing a brood of chickens. Her motherly affection for them is touching and pronounced. Two dogs, brothers and hitherto the best of friends and merriest of playmates, have, in the past few days, become the bitterest of worldly enemies, who thereby there seems no doubt of the effectiveness of either serum as applied to animals. How would it affect the human beings?" "The last lingering doubt is removed! Circumstances made it possible for me to secure a small quantity of the blood of Miss M. (in this, as in all other instances, the names are suppressed for reasons even more obvious than in the case of the Professor himself) in which I made a culture of the microbe of love. With this I inoculated myself, and now, impossible as it would seem to my friends, I find myself madly in love with her. I might counteract this by an inoculation of the opposite germ, but I cannot bring myself to do it. Evidently I am very, very much in love!" "I have made a horrible discovery. Miss M. does not—and says she can never—love me! Further, though she also says that she will never marry, I am convinced that J. loves her almost as madly as I do! And he has youth, wit, fortune, comeliness—every attribute that could attract a woman—while I" "Why should I hesitate? I might, it is true, cease to love her, but I could never forget that I had loved. Fate—it can have been nothing else—has placed in my hands a sufficient quantity of J.'s blood for my purpose and with it I have made a culture of the microbe of dislike, while with my own heart's blood I am preparing the serum of affection. Heaven send an early opportunity to inoculate my darling with them both! I have been under a terrible mental strain and am physically scarcely able to handle my tubes. "The opportunity has come! I have applied both the preparations to my darling liberally—lavishly! Unless all my science is at fault I shall shortly be a happy man. Poor J. I! I feel genuinely sorry for him, yet I cannot reproach myself." "Something has gone wrong. I called upon Miss M. tonight and was received most frigidly. Indeed, she was so broadly that she expected another guide. Of course, I took the hint and left. From across the street I saw J. enter!" "Gracious Heaven, what a blunder! I have convinced myself of the cause of it all. In preparing the two cultures with which to inoculate Miss M., in some inexplicable manner I got my men in. "As soon as I have counteracted my own unfortunate inoculation I leave to study the mosquitoes of the Klondike region. Cards are out for the marriage of Miss M. and J. in June." A STRUCTURE BUILT SIXTY YEARS AGO. Indians Were Taught—All Trace of the Altar and the Large Fireplace Long Since Obliterated—Communicants Were Converted Indians. Standing upon a high wooded hill, within sight and sound of the great Kettle falls of the Columbia river, and overlooking the wide Macrus fat, is an ancient and long deserted mission. It is, without doubt, one of the oldest buildings of the kind still left standing in Washington. It was built in 1843 and 1844. In dimensions the building is about 40x60 feet. It is constructed entirely of hewed logs and is practically two stories high. Iron in those far-off, primitive days was a scarce and expensive material. In the construction of this building no iron whatever was used to fasten the logs together. The ends of the logs at the corners of the building and at the doors and windows are all wedged and dovetailed in—really keyed together. Altogether the architecture is rude, but very secure and solid. Communicants Were Indians. For a great many services were held in this mission chapel by the pioneer padres. All, or nearly all, the communicants, were Indians. Years ago the mission was abandoned and services have been held in the present mission near Colville. The primitive building is very weatherbeaten and dilapidated. The building fronts south. There is a wide portal at the front end; also doors on the east and west sides, well toward the rear part of the structure. All the doors and windows are gone. The rafters consist of small hewed timbers. Both at the top and bottom the rafters are fastened together and to the walls by means of stout wooden pins driven in auger holes. The sheeting or cross pieces to which the roof is fastened are small square pieces of timber, apparently cut out with a whipsaw. They, too, are securely fastened to the rafters by wooden pins. The roof was made of ordinary pine lapboards riven with the old-fashioned "frow." At the gable ends whis-sawed planks were used. Near the northern end of the old mission a large fireplace was con- structed of adobes, rocks and clay mortar, the northern part of the building, framing the old fireplace, was originally divided into two rooms, probably for the use of the fathers. The back of the fireplace is both broad and high, and fronted the main audience room of the building. It must have served as the back of the sacred altar, where masses and vespers were celebrated. However, every trace of the altar has long since vanished. The same can be said of the flooring, both downstairs and above. In a Dilapidated State Nothing now remains of the old mission save the walls, rafters and part of the roof. The walls are intact; also the upper timbers. More than half of the roof itself is gone. The boards which still remain are moss covered and very much decayed. The planks at the gable ends are in the same condition. The only iron used about the old building were the nails which held the boards of the roof. The logs of the wall are still sound—especially on the interior sides. The rafters and heavy hewed log joists are apparently sound. Until within a few years ago a large wooden cross stood at the front of one building, rising from the comb of the roof; but that, also, has disappeared. Windowless, floorless, doorless and semi-roofless, this old storm-beaten monument of the dead and voiceless past stands in the heart of a lonely pine forest. It is a sad reminder of the noiseless flight of time and of the evanescence of all things earthly. Yet there is an eloquence in the silence of the old dismantled mission; there is a touching pathos in its fate. Burying Grounds Near. A short distance northeast of the mission is the burying ground. The limits of the consecrated grounds are marked by a ditch or mont. This trench is now nearly filled up. Trees as large as one's body are growing and along the ditch, indicating that it was dug long ago. Just how many graves the grounds contain will never be known. Marks identifying a great many graves have disappeared. The grounds are strewn with old decayed wooden headstones, railings, logs, etc. In extent the ground is about one-half acre. Only two headstones (wooden) remain the epitaphs of which can be deciphered. So far as known only Indians were buried in those grounds. If the grounds were ever inclosed by a fence of any kind all traces of it have vanished.

Fosburg, on trial:charged with killing his sister May, was the chiet witness for the defense today. ‘The prisoner's father, Robert L. Fosburg, also told the story of the shooting. Cross-examination developed no con- tradictory statements. Both of these witnesses gave details of the events Jehding to the death of May Fosburg Just as told by all members of the fam- ily. “Much tntercet was shown in the young girl's evidence, and she several times broke down and wept in relat- ing the story of the tragedy. Her grief affected many in the courtroom and sobbing was heard during her exam- ination. Beatrice Fosburg stated post- tively that sae did not see her brother Robert bofore she saw the flash from the pistot which caused her sister's death, He was coming from his room when this shot was fired. Mr. Joyner, attorney for the detense, closed _his presentment of the case this morning, showing why the Fosburgs kept fire- arms in the hoxse and outitning the evidence which ho intonded to present to prove the burglary story true. Beatrice Fosburg, in her testimony, said she was awakened by a loud scream. She jumped out of bed and went toward the door. May was ahead of her. Suddenly she heard her sis- ter exclaim: “0, gracious!” The room was dark at tho time. Just as she got in front of the door she saw a pillow- case in front of her. A pair of eyes peered through holes in the pillow- case. She saw a flash, and then she turned around and felt Robert going past her. She turned on the light and screamed: “O, there are burglars in the honse. Beatrice went on-to tell how her father and brother came in and how Robert entered and fell to the floor. Her mother asked her father what time it was. He told her it was 3:20. Her brother James, at this point, said men were coming; that they had better dress. Beatrice also testified that she found a brown hat. At was all smashed in, District At- torney Hammond cross-examined the witness. She said she was down stairs when Dr. Paddock arrived and did not see the body of her sister placed on the bed. She remembered that two shots wore fired, but she never said that it was the second shot that killed her sister. She did state at the in- quest that sho was directly behind May when the shot was fired which caused her death. She denied testitying that she did not know where the defend- ‘ant was when the shot which resulted in her sister's death was fired. The witness also dented that she had testi- fied that she turned on the light after her sister fell and that she heard a shot before her sister fell to the floor. ‘This testimony was given in reply to questions as to what she had testified fat the inquest.

The condition of Dodge and McGee is con- sidered critical. McDonald will prob- ably recover. Kelly, harboring a fan- cied wrong, entered Garrett's office unannounced a few minutes after 12 o'clock. Without a word of warning he leveled a revolver at Garrett, who sat at his desk, and began firing. Five times the revolver cracks resounded through the building In quick succes- sion, each bullet taking effect In Gar- rett’s body, Garrett fell from his chair, without being able to make a move, and when in a few minutes Dodge and McDonald hurried to the scene he was unconscious, lying in a pool of hts own blood. Kelly had re- loaded his revolver, and when the of ficers entered tho office turned it upon them. Sergt. Dodge was shot through the throat and Detective McDonald re- ceived a bullet in the leg. A moment later Dr, McGee, summoned to attend Garrett, stepped into the office. Kelly again raised his revolver and pointed it at the physician, who turned to summon help, Kelly fired, one bul- let striking McGee in the back, near the spine, and’sending him to the floor.

Page has been elected president of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., and his salary has been fixed at $2,000 per annum. Two of the native African graduates of Wilberforce University will return to Africa next month. Mr. Henry Colbourne Msikinya and Miss Charlotte Makhomo Manye, both from South Africa, intend to carry with them the spirit of Wilberforce, and will not only engage in active teaching, but will offer missionary services as well. At the thirty-eighth annual commencement exercises at Wilberforce University, thirty six young men and women received diplomas from the University and thirty-six received certificates from the Industrial and Commercial courses. The orations delivered by the members of the graduating class were exceptionally creditable and compare favorably with similar efforts of Wilberforce graduates in the past. In an interview recently with the New York Tribune, Congressman Livingston, of Georgia, said: "I think the people of Georgia are against any disfranchisement amendment to our State constitution. We are getting along nicely with the Negro in Georgia. The States which adopt the amendments which have already been adopted by Louisiana, Mississippi, North and South Carolina may see the time when Congress will take the matter up with a view to affecting their representations which of course would bring turmoil and strife and reopen the issue of the civil war." Vice President Roosevelt is a friend to the Negro race. Recently he appointed a Negro named Pinckney, who was his polite messenger when Governor of New York, messenger in the Senate. He was told that he had violated Senate precedent by appointing a Negro, and that he had better reconsider it. Roosevelt smiled, which showed that he was not to be frightened, and said firmly: "Pinckney is appointed." RICH EX-SLAVE. Left Home Penniless and Returns Almost a Croesus After 37 Years. The Danville (Va.) Register says that probably the richest colored man in America is visiting that city. He was born a slave and is named Edward Dillard. He escaped from slavery in 1863 and located in Pittsburg where he made $2.50 a day shoveling pig iron and lived on 40 cents a day until he had saved up $1,400 when he bought a horse and cart and began the peddling of coal and studying his books at night. He later went to Chicago and opened a drug store which was burned in the Chicago fire, for which he received an insurance of $20,000. He opened up the drug business, but soon sold it for $22,000 cash. He went to Australia and embarked in the cattle business and made a fortune. He has real estate in the heart of Chicago for which he recently refused an offer of more than $200,000. He owns valuable estate in Australia. While in the city yesterday he deposited with the Citizen's Bank two drafts on the Melbourne, Australia, bank for $37,000. He has found his son and daughter whom he had not seen in 37 years, living at Reidsville, N. C. He will now live and die in Virginia. He is worth between a quarter and a half million dollars. Fish 250 Years Old. There are some goldfish in Washington which have belonged to the same family for the last fifty years and they seem no bigger and no less vivacious today than they did when they first came into the owner's possession. A few of the fish in the Royal Aquarium at St. Petersburg are known to be 150 years old and the age of the sacred fish in some of the ponds attached to the Buddhist temples in China is to be counted by centurlea if we are to believe the priests. Strawberry Viager Put two quarts of strawberries into a stone jar and pour over them one quart of good cider vinegar. Cover and stand aside for two days, then drain off the liquid without mashing the berries, pour it over a quart of fresh fruit, and stand as before. Do this once more, the last time straining through a muslin bag. Now add one pound of sugar to every pint of this liquid. Boil slowly five minutes, skim let stand fifteen minutes, bottle and seal. A Very Novel Watch In Zurich a very novel watch has just been made. It forms the cup on heart of a jeweled flower, which is intended to be worn as an ornament. The flower itself can be opened or closed by touching a tiny spring, and when it is closed the little watch is not visible. When a lady wearing such an ornament desires to know the time all she has to do is to touch the spring, whereupon the flower opens and the watch is revealed. A Major's Experience. Major Scott, says the Jimtown Ananias, being suddenly awakened last night, found five snakes in bed with him. The major jumped out of the front window and climbed a tree. He had not been there long before a hurricane blew the tree down; the tree fell on the house, smashed the roof, demolished the bed, and killed all the snakes. The only damage the major suffered was having a couple of his legs broken. Peter Cooper's Way. The unveiling of the Peter Cooper tablet in the building that was named for him in New York not unnaturally reminds us of the fact that there was something good in the good old days, not the least of which was the philanthropist who did what he could for the race without boasting of it, and who even sought to hide the bulk of his gifts from the public eye.-Philadelphia Inquirer. Dublin University Honors American The honorary degree of doctor of laws has been tendered by the University of Dublin to Hannis Taylor of Mobile, formerly United States minister to Spain and author of "Origin and Growth of the English Constitution" and of "International Public Law," and he was requested to be present in the city of Dublin, Ireland, in order to receive it in person on June 27. Mexicans Adhere to Candles. Candles are extensively used in Mexico, owing to the great expense of petroleum. A bookkeeper may be seen making his entries in a great ledger by the light of a single candle. A Mexican printer can work with a candlestick stuck carelessly into one of his boxes, and two tailors in the small shops can be seen sharing the rays of a single dip. Money and Sweetheart Gone For five years Miss Bertha Hoyt and Ernest. Bixby of Bridgeport, Conn., were engaged to be married. Ernest gave his sweetheart a part of his weekly earnings to save for him. Two months ago burglar broke into the Hoyt residence and stole the money. Now the sweetheart has eloped with another man. Money Returned to Subscribers A great many persons were much put out by President McKinley's inability to keep his New England engagements. In Worcester, Mass., for instance, 300 tickets at $10 each had been sold for the banquet projected in his honor, and the money was returned to subscribers. Showcase Manufacture Among other lines of manufacture in which Baltimore leads the world is that of making showcases, and not only does Baltimore's output exceed that of any other city on the globe, but it was also one of the first to construct this useful article. Barley Production. Of the 2,080,000,000 bushels of barley produced by the civilized countries of the world Russia produces by far the largest amount. Next in order comes Austria, which is followed by Germany, the United States, England and Spain. Loo Chin An, a high Chinese official and a commissioner of commerce, arrived in San Francisco recently, sent by his government to examine the commercial methods and history of this country. Hired Twelve Extra Firemen Three passengers who left New York on the steamship St. Paul recently paid for twelve extra firemen in order to keep a dinner engagement in London the next Wednesday evening. The Oldest Lifeboat. South Shields, England, is said to possess the oldest lifeboat in existence. It has been in use since 1830, and by means of it 1,028 persons have been rescued. Work of Livingstone's Daughter. The two surviving daughters of Dr. Livingstone recently opened the extension of Livingstone College at Leyton, England, founded eight years ago for training in medicine and surgery those missionaries about to depart for far away stations where they would be called up to play the part of doctors as often as that of priest. It was because Livingstone himself was such a splendid example of the medically trained missionary that the fine college at Leyton was erected to his memory. Boy Story-Writer's Honor A monument to the late Rev. Elijah Kellogg, the preacher and writer of books for boys, is projected in Maine, and three towns are laying claim to its location—Portland, the city of his birth; Brunswick, where he was educated, and Harpswell, the little seacoast town where he preached for so many years and where he died. Some of his friends suggest that the monument be erected in Portland and memorial tablets be placed in Brunswick and Harpswell. Transvaal Gets New Stamps First. The first stamps to be issued by the British government bearing the imprint of King Edward VII, will be a complete set for use in the Transvaal, says a London newspaper. The government designers are now at work on the pattern, which is understood to be a profile of his majesty on a background of deep carmine. At the same time the imprint of the King when Prince of Wales has been used by one or two of the colonies. One Woman in Business A Chicago broker recently found a postal card in his morning mail reading as follows: "Dear Sir--Please buy me five thousand shares of People's Gas at 95 cents and sell the same at $1.15. After deducting your commission you may remit the balance in a registered letter. Yours respectfully, Mrs. Bland. P. S.-My future patronage depends upon the promptness with which you act in executing the above order." Married Each Other Often: John and Mary Burkett, of Kokomo, Ind., began marrying each other about forty years ago, and have kept it up at intervals ever since. They have had three divorces and four weddings, neither having wedded another in the meantime. Kokomo also reports another couple, Henry and Myrtle Mohn, who have been married to each other three times, and are now living happily. Waves Checked by Nets. Baron Benvenuto d'Alessandro, an Italian, has invented a means of checking the force of waves by means of nets made of waterproof hemp. One recently tried with success at Havre was 360 feet long and fifty feet wide, with meshes eleven inches apart. The nets will break the waves at sea, and will also be a bulwark for hydraulic works against heavy surf. Policeman's Christian Association Policeman's Christian Association Canon Hobson, the founder of the Policeman's Christian association, has arrived at New York. This association was founded eighteen years ago in a cellar in Liverpool. It had three members at the start, but today has over 100,000 throughout Great Britain and her colonies. He comes over to visit his sister in Fulton, Oswego county, New York. Real Coral the Cheaper A store in New York which makes a specialty of fancy articles for woman's wear recently displayed in a window two chains of coral beads. One was of round, smoothly polished beads and bore the legend, "Imitation coral, 65 cents." The other, of ragged, uncut coral, was marked, "Real coral, 25 cents." Wheat Belt Around Wichita The Kansas wheat belt centers around Wichita. Within a hundred-mile radius of the town fully 60 per cent of the wheat of Kansas was raised, while in seventeen counties of southern and central Kansas 50 per cent of the yield was reaped. In northern Kansas but little wheat is raised. Damage-Sult Lawyer's Wealth: A lawyer named Patterson died a few days ago in Brooklyn, leaving about $1,000,000, nearly all made by conducting damage suits in cases of accidents and personal injuries, the defendants being chiefly street railroad and similar corporations. Poems by King James I. An interesting literary discovery is reported from Oxford, where a number of hitherto unknown poems by King James I. have been found in the Bodleian library. They are stated to be undoubtedly genuine and bear the royal autograph. Traveling With Ox Teams A novel vacation trip is being taken by Banker Jenkins and a party of eleven friends, from Carrollton, Kas. They are traveling across the state of Colorado in an old-style prairie wagon behind relays of oxen spans. University Extension for St. Helena. St. Helena is to have a university extension. The Cape University is going to send examiners to the island for the young Boer prisoners who are studying to enter the university. Debts of Four Great Cities New York City's debt is now $283,- 042,000. The debt of Chicago is $26,- 000,000, of Philadelphia $43,000,000, and of Boston $56,000,000.

It is so sold that a cake of ice is like a fierce fire as compared with it, for a kettle of liquid air placed on a cake of ice will boil just as water boils over a hot fire. It freezes mercury so hard that one can drive nails in it. The story is told that Mr. Charles E. Tripler, the experimenter in liquid air, recently took a quart can of the remarkable substance with him on a visit to a friend. On the way he stopped in a restaurant to eat a beefsteak. The waiter brought in a hot broiled steak and placed it in front of Mr. Tripler. As soon as the waiter's back was turned Mr. Tripler hastily opened the can and exposed the meat to the liquid air. Instantly the steak was frozen hard as a rock. When the waiter came back his customer complained that the steak was frozen. So the waiter called the head waiter, and the head waiter blamed it all on the cook and the cook was at a loss to explain, and the result was that the frozen steak was taken back into the kitchen as a mysterious curicity. A new steak was broiled for Mr. Tripler, and this one ate with much relish. ```markdown ``` --- J. B. H. COLD INDEED.

Page has been elected president of Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City, Mo., and his salary has been fixed at $2,000 per annum. Two of the native African graduates of Wilberforce University will return to Africa next month. Mr. Henry Colbourne Msikinya and Miss Charlotte Makhomo Manye, both from South Africa, intend to carry with them the spirit of Wilberforce, and will not only engage in active teaching, but will offer missionary services as well. At the thirty-eighth annual commencement exercises at Wilberforce University, thirty six young men and women received diplomas from the University and thirty-six received certificates from the Industrial and Commercial courses. The orations delivered by the members of the graduating class were exceptionally creditable' and compare favorably with similar efforts of Wilberforce graduates in the past. In an interview recently with the New York Tribune, Congressman Livingston, of Georgia, said: "I think the people of Georgia are against any disfranchisement amendment to our State constitution.

He escaped from slavery in 1863 and located in Pittsburg where he made $2.50 a day shoveling pig iron and lived on 40 cents a day until he had saved up $1,400 when he bought a horse and cart and began the peddling of coal and studying his books at night.

He opened up the drug business, but soon sold it for $22,000 cash. He went to Australia and embarked in the cattle business and made a fortune. He has real estate in the heart of Chicago for which he recently refused an offer of more than $200,000. He owns valuable estate in Australia. While in the city yesterday he deposited with the Citizen's Bank two drafts on the Melbourne, Australia, bank for $37,000. He has found his son and daughter whom he had not seen in 37 years, living at Reidsville, N. C. He will now live and die in Virginia. He is worth between a quarter and a half million dollars. Fish 250 Years Old. There are some goldfish in Washington which have belonged to the same family for the last fifty years and they seem no bigger and no less vivacious today than they did when they first came into the owner's possession. A few of the fish in the Royal Aquarium at St. Petersburg are known to be 150 years old and the age of the sacred fish in some of the ponds attached to the Buddhist temples in China is to be counted by centuriaea if we are to believe the priests. Strawberry Vinegar. Put two quarts of strawberries into a stone jar and pour over them one quart of good elder vinegar. Cover and stand aside for two days, then drain off the liquid without mashing the berries, pour it over a quart of fresh fruit, and stand as before. Do this once more, the last time straining through a muslin bag. Now add one pound of sugar to every pint of this liquid. Boll slowly five minutes, skim let stand fifteen minutes, bottle and seal. A Very Novel Watch. In Zurich a very novel watch has just been made. It forms the cup or heart of a jeweled flower, which is intended to be worn as an ornament. The flower itself can be opened or closed by touching a tiny spring, and when it is closed the little watch is not visible. When a lady wearing such an ornament desires to know the time all she has to do is to touch the spring, whereupon the flower opens and the watch is revealed. A Major's Experience Major Scott, says the Jimtown Annias, being suddenly awakened last night, found five snakes in bed with him. The major jumped out of the front window and climbed a tree. He had not been there long before a hurricane blew the tree down; the tree fell on the house, smashed the roof, demolished the bed, and killed all the snakes. The only damage the major suffered was having a couple of his legs broken. Peter Cooper's Way. The unveiling of the Peter Cooper tablet in the building that was named for him in New York not unnaturally reminds us of the fact that there was something good in the good old days, not the least of which was the philanthropist who did what he could for the race without boasting of it, and who even sought to hide the bulk of his gifts from the public eye.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Dublin University Honors American The honorary degree of doctor of laws has been tendered by the University of Dublin to Hannis Taylor of Mobile, formerly United States minister to Spain and author of "Origin and Growth of the English Constitution" and of "International Public Law," and he was requested to be present in the city of Dublin, Ireland, in order to receive it in person on June 27. Mexicans Adhere to Candles Candles are extensively used in Mexico, owing to the great expense of petroleum. A bookkeeper may be seen making his entries in a great ledger by the light of a single candle. A Mexican printer can work with a candlestick stuck carelessly into one of his boxes, and two tailors in the small shops can be seen sharing the rays of a single dip. Money and Sweetheart Gone For five years Miss Bertha Hoyt and Ernest. Bixby of Bridgeport, Conn., were engaged to be married. Ernest gave his sweetheart a part of his weekly earnings to save for him. Two months ago burglar broke into the Hoyt residence and stole the money. Now the sweetheart has eloped with another man. Money Returned to Subscribers A great many persons were much put out by President McKinley's inability to keep his New England engagements. In Worcester, Mass., for instance, 300 tickets at $10 each had been sold for the banquet projected in his honor, and the money was returned to subscribers. Showcase Manufacture Among other lines of manufacture in which Baltimore leads the world is that of making showcases, and not only does Baltimore's output exceed that of any other city on the globe, but it was also one of the first to construct this useful article. Barley Production. Of the 2,080,000,000 bushels of barley produced by the civilized countries of the world Russia produces by far the largest amount. Next in order comes Austria, which is followed by Germany, the United States, England and Spain. Studying Our Commercial Methods. Loo Chin An, a high Chinese official and a commissioner of commerce, arrived in San Francisco recently, sent by his government to examine the commercial methods and history of this country. Hired Twelve Extra Firemen. Three passengers who left New York on the steamship St. Paul recently paid for twelve extra firemen in order to keep a dinner engagement in London the next Wednesday evening. The Oldest Lifeboat South Shields, England, is said to possess the oldest lifeboat in existence. It has been in use since 1830, and by means of it 1,028 persons have been rescued. Work of Livingstone's Daughter. The two surviving daughters of Dr. Livingstone recently opened the extension of Livingstone College at Leyton, England, founded eight years ago for training in medicine and surgery those missionaries about to depart for far away stations where they would be called up to play the part of doctors as often as that of priest. It was because Livingstone himself was such a splendid example of the medically trained missionary that the fine college at Leyton was erected to his memory. Boy Story: Writer's Honor A monument to the late Rev. Elijah Kellogg, the preacher and writer of books for boys, is projected in Maine, and three towns are laying claim to its location—Portland, the city of his birth; Brunswick, where he was educated, and Harpswell, the little seacoast town where he preached for so many years and where he died. Some of his friends suggest that the monument be erected in Portland and memorial tablets be placed in Brunswick and Harpswell. Transvaal Gets New Stamps First. The first stamps to be issued by the British government bearing the imprint of King Edward VII, will be a complete set for use in the Transvaal, says a London newspaper. The government designers are now at work on the pattern, which is understood to be a profile of his majesty on a background of deep carmine. At the same time the imprint of the King when Prince of Wales has been used by one or two of the colonies. One Woman in Business. A Chicago broker recently found a postal card in his morning mail reading as follows: "Dear Sir—Please buy me five thousand shares of People's Gas at 95 cents and sell the same at $1.15. After deducting your commission you may remit the balance in a registered letter. Yours respectfully, Mrs. Bland. P. S.—My future patronage depends upon the promptness with which you act in executing the above order." Married Each Other Often John and Mary Burkett, of Kokomo, Ind., began marrying each other about forty years ago, and have kept it up at intervals ever since. They have had three divorces and four weddings, neither having wedded another in the meantime. Kokomo also reports another couple, Henry and Myrtle Mohn, who have been married to each other three times, and are now living happily. Waves Checked by Nets. Baron Benvenuto d'Alessandro, an Italian, has invented a means of checking the force of waves by means of nets made of waterproof hemp. One recently tried with success at Havre was 360 feet long and fifty feet wide, with meshes eleven inches apart. The nets will break the waves at sea, and will also be a bulwark for hydraulic works against heavy surf. Policeman's Christian Association Canon Hobson, the founder of the Policeman's Christian association, has arrived at New York. This association was founded eighteen years ago in a cellar in Liverpool. It had three members at the start, but today has over 100,000 throughout Great Britain and her colonies. He comes over to visit his sister in Fulton, Oswego county, New York. Real Coral the Cheaper. A store in New York which makes a specialty of fancy articles for woman's wear recently displayed in a window two chains of coral beads. One was of round, smoothly polished beads and bore the legend, "Imitation coral, 65 cents." The other, of ragged, uncut coral, was marked, "Real coral, 25 cents." Wheat Belt Around Wichita. The Kansas wheat belt centers around Wichita. Within a hundred-mile radius of the town fully 60 per cent of the wheat of Kansas was raised, while in seventeen counties of southern and central Kansas 50 per cent of the yield was reaped. In northern Kansas but little wheat is raised.

It is so sold that a cake of ice is like a fierce fire as compared with it, for a kettle of liquid air placed on a cake of ice will boil just as water boils over a hot fire. It freezes mercury so hard that one can drive nails in it. The story is told that Mr. Charles E. Tripler, the experimenter in liquid air, recently took a quart can of the remarkable substance with him on a visit to a friend. On the way he stopped in a restaurant to eat a beefsteak. The waiter brought in a hot broiled steak and placed it in front of Mr. Tripler. As soon as the waiter's back was turned Mr. Tripler hastily opened the can and exposed the meat to the liquid air. Instantly the steak was frozen hard as a rock. When the waiter came back his customer complained that the steak was frozen. So the waiter called the head waiter, and the head waiter blamed it all on the cook and the cook was at a loss to explain, and the result was that the frozen steak was taken back into the kitchen as a mysterious curicity. A new steak was broiled for Mr. Tripler, and this one ate with much relish. ```markdown ``` --- M. B.
