I had a severe attack of bilious colic, got a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy, took two doses and was entirely cured," says Rev. A. A. Power, of Emporia, Kan. "My neighbor aeros the street was sick for over a week, had two or three bottles of medicine from the doctor. He used them for three or four days without relief, then called in another doctor who treated him for some days and gave him no relief, so discharged him. I went over to see him the next morning. He said his bowels were in a terrible fix, that they had been running off so long that it was almost bloody flux. I asked him if he had tried Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and he said, 'No.' I went home and brought him my bottle and gave him one dose; told him to take another dose in fifteen or twenty minuets if he did not find relief, but he took no more and was entirely cured."

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 experi- menter 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 curiality. A new steak was broiled for Mr. Tripler and this one he ate with much relish. The Insane Idiot, Who Is Misrepresenting the State of S. C. in the U. S. Senate, Made a Radical Address to Highland Park Students. Last Thursday Aug. 1, Senator Ben Tillman of South Carolina, made the following statements in his speech before the students of Highland Park: "I believe before God Almighty that the Negro was not created the equal of the white man." "The enfranchisement of the Negro was the crime of the 19th century." "I believe the Negro is going backward in his morals. It is the lack of virtue among the Negro women, and they are more of a savage now then before the war, and that I ask that the 14th and 15th amendment to the constitution be repealed." The above are some of the sensational remarks that Mr. Tillman made. His statements are so gross, so unreasonable, covered with so much hypocrisy and falsehood that the ordinary intelligent white or colored man pay but little concern about it, but for the benefit of the low element from which "Pitchfork" Tillman sprang from we reply. In the first sentence he says: "I believe before God Almighty the Negro is not created equal." Who is this little nothingness of "I" that doubts God's statement or deny the Holy Bible. No doubt God did not create Tillman equal with the average human of to-day, for his low methods, low principals and deprived morals may be compared with creatures of South Sea Islanders. Mr. Tillman's statements as to the progress and morals of the colored race was the most damnable statements. It was given broadcast, without any exceptions or modifications. There are hundreds and thousands of examples to-day among our race to refute those statements, even in his own state, and you will meet them in Iowa and other states. We would ask Tillman, how does he know about the morals of our women without giving some facts or proofs. We know that the virtue of our girls are in great danger when in the presence or subject to the brute passion of some white men of the South, and those poor defensless girls dire not make a protest in many instances. Why don't you seek to throw the same protection, as a public man, around the colored girls as you do your so called white maids. If you think the Negro is degrading, why don't you people accord him the same equal chance as the white people have; why do you fear his equal or superior ability to yours? We say now Senator Tillman that every man has his day. The time will soon come when the Negro will not submit to your diabolic misrepresentation, and they will soon rule the Sunny South. CLARINDA CELEBRATION Thursday, Aug. 1st, according to promise the colored people of Page county gave their annual emancipation celebration. The day was an ideal one for out door celebration, and in early morning the crowd began to arrive in large numbers, some driving overland at the distance of 25 and 30 miles, and by 12 o'clock fully 3,000 people, mostly white were present. The parade formed at 11 o'clock, led by the excelsior colored band of 15 pieces, next in line was carriage containing the orator of the day, then the first float containing a number of little girls, Queen of the day, Aunt Delphia Rogerr, and the God- dess of Liberty, Miss Effie Knight with national colors; second float was drawn by four horses, representing the home and occupation of the Negro race in the past and the third float represented the home and occupation of the Negro race of today, following these floats were carriages etc. After arriving on the beautiful Fair Ground Park, James Baker, president of the day, called the meeting to order and after music adjourned for dinner. In the afternoon the band called the crowd together; prayer was offered by Rev. Johnson of the A. M. E. Church, then music by the chorus choir, Lincoln's proclamation was read by Miss Mary Nash. Then John L. Thompson was introduced to make the principle address after music by the band. The large crowd enjoyed the base ball game and other amusements. Thus it can be said that this was a successful celebration. THE REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION. An Enthusiastic Convention—The Largest in the History of the Republican Party in Iowa.

G. club of Moline Thursday was a success in every way. From the Dally Moline Journal we clip the following: "Colored people's elite of the city on Thursday celebrated Emancipation Day at Concordia Park on an elaborate scale ever before attempted in the Tri-ities. Members of the Fin de Siecle club are the sponsors for and promoters of this bit of enterprise, and they earned the plaudits of an admiring public in their street pageant at noon, when the days festivities were inaugurated." Although a so called Como club hurriedly organized to have a celebration in opposition, no one was able to tell that day that Rock Island was trying to have one. Now everyone is wondering which it is that looked like "thirty oopers" tha day? The excursion from Galesburg brought in about thisty-five; Chicago, Clinton, Cedar Rapids. Muscatline and Wilton Junction were all very well represented that day. Some of the older citizens say that ```markdown ``` No. 9. never before at so large a celebration did such perfect order prevail. After a three weeks visit with friends in Moline Mesdames Holland and Jackson of Chicago returned home Friday. A large crowd from the twin cities are preparing to participate in the boat excursion to Clinton Thursday. A delightful time is expected.

Sketch of the Career of the Men. D. dial H. McMillan. The birthplace of Col. D. H. McMillan, the new lieutenant governor of Manitoba, was in the county of Ontario, near the town of Whitby, in the Province of Ontario. The years of his boyhood and early manhood, however, were spent in the town of Collingwood. He received his education in the public schools and the collegiate institute of that town and in the city of Toronto. His early ambitions were largely towards military life; and it was his cherished desire to enter the British army. He took a course of training in the military schools of Toronto, where he was eminently successful, obtaining first class certificates in both the infantry and the cavalry schools. He was identified with military organizations in Ontario for a number of years, and served there during the Fenian raids at Niagara in 1864, and at Port Colborne in March and Fort Erie in June, 1866. In 1870 he was selected for the position of captain in the first Red River expedition under Colonel Wollseley. The young captain remained in Winnipeg with the force for a year, and served there to Ontario in the summer of 1871. Coming to Manitoba again in 1874, Mr. McMillan engaged in Winnipeg in the milling and grain business, with which he remained connected from 1875 until three or four years ago. He built, in 1870, the first flour mill ever erected in the province; and, in the following year, exported to Minneapolis the first shipment, as a commercial transaction, of Manitoba's wheat. He did not, meanwhile, lose his interest in military matters, but was ready for active service whenever troops were required. He was major of the Nineeth Battalion until just before the Northwest rebellion in 1885, when he resigned, intending to give up military affairs; but when the trouble broke out, the old martial spirit was revived, and he organized, along with Col. Scott, the Ninety-fifth Battalion, and went with that force to the Northwest. He was then senior major, but was afterwards in command of the battalion—Montreal Herald and Star.

CUMMINS NOMINATED Herriott Withdraws and Is Nominated for Lieutenant-Governor. The Cummins Forces Were in Complete Control of the Convention and Won Out on Every Contest Weaver, Brown and Barrett Complete the Ticket. Cedar Rapids, Aug. 8- The Cummins forces were in complete control of the republican state convention and nominated candidates of their choice. Before the convention convened the liness had been drawn so clearly as to demonstrate to Mr. Herriott and his delegates that their cause was hopeless, and following the loss of a large number of delegates from their intention of voting for Cummius their Herriott announced his withdrawal. The biggest fight of the convention was upon the report of the committee on credentials, which recommended that the full delegation from Polk county and the delegation from Carroll headed by B. I. Sallinger, and the delegation from Jackson headed by Frank H. Williams be seated. A minority report was similar to the majority report, except that it re- HON. A. B. HON. A. B. CUMMINS. commended the seating of the Cummins delegations from Carroll and Jackson counties. The latter report was finally adopted by a vote of 845 to 705, showing that the Cummins forces had won the first fight. State Chairman Weaver called the convention to order at 11:50 o'clock and introduced Rev. S. B. M.Cormick, president of Coe college, who invoked the divine blessing, Chairman Weaver then read the call for the convention. The jubilee singers of Chicago were introduced by Chairman Weaver art proved a strong attraction. Chairman Weaver announced as temporary chairman of the convention, Hon. James C. Davis of Keokau. A long discussion of this country's course in Cuba and of the consequences together with a description of the situation in the Philippines stirred the delegates to a considerable degree of enthusiasm. This was greatly increased when he turned his attention to America's commercial and industrial development and stated that this country has started upon a peaceful conquest of the world through trade and commerce. When he later referred to Iowa's two senators and distinguished position they occupy, the delegates shouted and shouted for Allison and Dollier, both of whom were on the stage. Mr. Davis spoke for a little over thirty minutes and closed with an appeal to the delegates for party harmony, unity and loyalty after the nominations had been made.

The doctrine of protection has no hard border, but it is clear that for different measures of relief, and as production cheapens and foreign markets are invaded, the tariff can and will be increased. The doctrine of protection enables the American people to attain the highest possible degree of prosperity, and to enable the American people to in any wise destroy that most beneficent of existing systems, the American "scale of wages."

No great city or populous center controls the political affairs of this state. We have no aptly rich to oppress, nor have we had a great city to govern in their distress; but we seem to have realized the prayer of the prophet when he prayed for Iowa. The material growth would seem to exceed the highest flights of imagination. The free gift of a state can bestow upon her people, for education is power and Iowa gives to each of the air they breathe. The per cent of our literacy in Iowa is but three and five-tenths, containing 18,381 school rooms presided over by 28,780 teachers, with an enrollment of 560,223 bright, promising boys and girls, who are unfortunate, the blind, the deaf, the dumb, the insane and the incorrigible, are all that science, wealth and humanity can suggest. The value of Iowa farm lands in 1855 was $1,085,063,068. The annual value of farm land in 1855 was $1,085,063,068. The other cereals, wheat, oats, rye, barley and corn were grown in 1900 aggregated 353,365,000 bushels. The other cereals, wheat, oats, rye, barley and corn were grown in 1900 aggregated 353,365,000 bushels. The amount of butter produced in the state, 175,000,000 pounds, valued at more than $2,000,000,000. Verily we are a nation of farmers, and are proud of it. When my friend, Lafe Lafayette, was a student in college, columns of his newspaper, "What's the matter with Iowa?" let the farmers of this state rise in unison and say, "What's the matter with Iowa?" Did you ever hear of an Iowa farm bonding on the market? BB BYERS. Do you know of any warrants issued by the state to hold or detain the challengers? She does not owe a single dollar or debt. The last report of the state treasury has shown that the state's $1,500,000, is simple to meet all just obligations. Can we conceive of a more splendid showing of material prosperity in the state? To what political party can these incompatible results be attributed? The state is showing him as a prosperous years of her stewardship, has been continuous control and direction of the republican party. From the great war government, consecutions and patriotic executive, with the exception of two short terms when the state was held in office into identity and followed after failure, state has been under the guidance of republican governors and republican legislators. She has the party a right to be proud of its success. But the products of Iowa in which we take our greatest pride are our splendid management. We have been contemplated the controlling influence the state of Iowa exercises in national affairs? Go to the more triumphant and democratic state of Illinois, which member of that body exercises the greatest power and will be told that the president of that body who controls its legislation and at whose beck and no laws are enacted or ordered we more power than the middle-class self, is a gallant and popular son of Iowa. We have appointed progress, industry, and as well as education, an influence, power and wisdom of any in the union. In the cabinet of the president sits the governor, and in the cabinet of the president is in the conduct of his department is winning for him the praise and commendation of his furnished many great domestic service Iowa has on the bench, in presidential cabinet and in the army and navy have been filled upon its record in this, our prosperous and beautiful state. We believe that the republican party of Iowa has upon its record in the past, and fearlessly challenge scrutiny or criticism from its adversaries in the splendid management of Iowa. BROADWAY Chairman Davis called the convention to order for the second session at 2:25 p. m. and announced that the first business would be the receipt of the report of the committee on credentials, but no report was forthcoming.

The results of growing wealth and of a wise financial policy are seen in the reduction of interest rates and the expansion of industry, while the demand for labor in every financial field HON. ED C. BROWN. That we stand by the historic policy of the republican party in giving protection to the citizens of the country by yindication to the extraordinary rapidity with which our national resources have been developed and our industrial and financial resources have grown. We favor such changes in the tariff from time to time as become advable through the progress of our development of our relations to the service of the world. We endorse the policy of reciprocity as the national complement of protection and urge its development as necessary to support our highest commercial possibilities. That we assert the sovereignty of the people of capital and the right residing in the people to enforce such regulations and restrictions or prohibitions upon corporate activities. HERRIOTT. We endorse with pride the administration of affairs in Iowa during forty years of abolition, which will bear comparison with the government record of capable and faithful management which will bear comparison with the government record of capable and faithful management which will bear comparison with the administration of Governor Shaw. It has been emailed to all members of the public and will discuss below the people of the great questions in national politics has made him a leader. He will leave the executive chair having reflected honor upon the state and bearing the confidence and regard of its people.

On the first ballot Harrison received 778, Brant 664%, Klemme 178 and Harriman 121%. It was evident the tide had turned strongly against Brant in the Cummins counties, and almost the whole of his support came from the oppositiel. On the second ballot and antiCummins lines, Harrison receiving 852, Brant 783 and Klemme 6. Weaver was named for supreme judge on the second ballot. On the first ballot Weaver had 800 votes, Towner 424, Dewey 284 and Bishop 128. On the second ballot the vote was Weaver 1039, Towner 543, Dewey 561. For railroad commissioner E. C.

Puff effects are also noticeable on the sleeves. Striking-looking parasols are those made of silk of broad pronounced stripes, running around the upper part of the parasol, while the lower part is of chiffon and silk. ‘Mercerized sateens, which very closely resemble satin foulard, and soft silk and linen mixtures in dainty colorings, striped, dotted, and plain of surface, are among the favored ma- terials for shirt waists for morning wear this spring.

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

In whatever other respects Philadel shia may be slow she has a trolley car which sweeps through the city In the gray hours of dawn and which, taken jay by day, is swifter than anything tise of its Kind or class in the world, says the New York Sun, It starts trom the heart of the city just after the aewspapers are out of press and tears away through the silent streets in a northerly and westerly direction, up and down hill and along valleys, with deeasional stops to throw out bundles antil twenty-seven minutes later it cests on the northern summit of Chest ant bill, fourteen and three-quarter niles away. This is at the averace cate of thirty-fiye miles an hour, in- sluding at least one stop every three- fourths of a mile. Sometimes on its coute it has run a mile in a minute and an eighth and it has made the dis- tance in twenty-five minutes, includ- Ing the stops, which is just the sched- ule time of the steam express trains for practically the same distance between the same places, though on neither the Reading nor the Pennsylvania ra‘t- ways do the trains make any stops. Sometimes, as on market day, there are interruptions, when sleepy teams get on the lines of metals, and occa- sionally another trolley car gets be- bind time and doesn’t give it the right of way promptly, but despite the occa sional delays, for two yeas, in all conditions of weather, facing rain or snow, with mechanical incidents ad- verse to Its career, it has malo on an average thirty-five trips out of thirty- five on time and only once has it beea longer than forty-five minutes in cov- ering the distance. On that occasion the wreck of a hay wagon was on the road and for this the Eagle Flight trolley was not responsible. From the fact that this car carries the morning newspapers for distribution it might be thought to be a journalistic enter- prise in Philadelphia, but this is not the case. It Is an experiment by the Unton Traction company to test the maintenance of high speed and the evenness of schedule time under con- ditions peculiarly favorable for secur- Ing exact factors for all the problems it is sought to solve. Every trip is ob- served by electrical experts, the induc- tion is estimated, the power measured, the state of the metal, the thermomet- rical and barometrical conditions noted fas well as the humidity and fog at the different elevations along the line, and when 3,000 trips have been made. the data thus gathered will be considered, with a view of formulating a result to be applied in such directions of econ- omy and accelerated speeds as may be ‘pened up. ‘Doubled the Collection. 2 A Kansas minister told his congre~ gation on a recent Sunday that those who were in debt need not place any- thing in the box.

Blacks and Whites Jola in Execution of Culprit, Who Is Identified, as the Assailant of a Woman and Confesses —Awful Death. Birmingham, Ala. Aug. 9.—Uttering alternate curses and prayers and shrinking as the flames encircled his writhing body, John Pennington, a negro, died at the stake near Enterprise, a victim of the vengeance of a mob of 500 whites and blacks. Though the suffering wretch pleaded for mercy and frantically endeavored to break the chains that tightly bound him, not a trace of sympathy was shown on the faces that peered at him through the flames. Pennington had committed a brutal assault upon Mrs. J. C. Davis, the wife of one of the best known farmers of Coffee County, and confessed his guilt. The attack was made Tuesday when Mrs. Davis, who was alone at home, was in her garden. Leaving his victim unconscious, the negro fled into the woods about the place. As soon as she regained her senses Mrs. Davis crawled to the house and gave the alarm. A large posse was quickly organized with blood-hounds and the negro was chased until yesterday morning, when he was captured in a swamp. Pennington was bound hand and foot and taken back to the Davis home for identification. Mrs. Davis immediately recognized him, and the negro broke down and wept. He admitted the crime and pleaded for mercy, but, deaf to his cries of terror, the leaders dragged the trembling man from the house. Several members of the crowd had already driven an iron pipe into the ground, and the men approached with Pennington both whites and blacks were piling brushwood around the stake. The negro saw his doom and with a scream of terror fell to the ground in a faint. He was quickly revived and dragged to the stake, while the crowd stood silent. The frightened man was limp and to be held up while the chains were fastened around his neck and body. When all was ready the cry was given and the crowd stood back. A match was applied to the pile and, with oil to feed upon, the tiny flame soon burst into a roaring fire. The terrified negro again pleaded for mercy in the most agonizing tones and prayed that those around him might perish. He then called upon the Maker for forgiveness, and as the flames leaped up and encircled his neck an unearthly shriek was heard and the man's eyes had almost bulged out of the sockets. By this time the fire had gained such headway that nothing could be seen excepting a wriggling motion in the center of the circle of fire. A deathly silence followed and in a few minutes the flames had subsided sufficiently to disclose Pennington's head, fallen forward and hanging limp over the iron chain. The body was quickly consumed, after which the crowd quietly dispersed. DAILY MARKET REPORT. Chicago Board of Trade. Wheat—Open. High. Low. Close.

Brown, Sheldon; superintendent public instruction, R. C. Barrett, Osage Cedar Rapids, Ia., Aug. 9.—Cummins' forces controlled the republican state convention yesterday and the Cummins slate, from top to bottom, was nominated. The opposition, led by men who have been successful in convention fights for years, contested every inch, and died in the last ditch. The result of the convention will be to retire a faction that has dominated Iowa politics for a decade and place in control a younger set of men. The first ballot resutue: Cummins, 860; Harriman, 359; Trewin, 369; Conger, 42; Harriott, 8; Mahon, 2. The convention itself was a long drawn-out one, lasting from 10 o'clock in the morning to 8:30 in the evening, with an intermission at noon for lunch. The resolutions adopted indorse the administration of President McKinley and applaud the policy of the administration in the Philippines, Porto Rico and Cuba. They assert the right of the people to restrict, regulate or prohibit trusts. They urge the re-election of the two Iowa senators and praise Governor Shaw. Observer Seea Encks' Comet Cambridge, Mass., Aug. 9.—A telegram has been received at the Harvard College observatory from Professor H. C.

EACH SIDE GAINS IN STRIKE Workers Close One Mill, Combine Opens Another. ALL AWAIT THE GREAT TEST. Both Men and Employers Prepare for Walkout and Refuse to Talk Compromise—Material Now Is Scarcity—Machinists Will Give Backing. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 9—Each side to the great steel strike claims gain today. While the Amalgamated association closed the plant at Newcastle, the combine practically broke the strike at the Clark mill in this city. Pending the walkout on Saturday night the union leaders are strengthening their organization as much as possible and making ready for a long and bitter fight. The steel corporation, too, is preparing for the struggle, and a determined effort will be made to reopen the more important of the closed mills. The combine will take all the skilled workmen it can spare from the nonunion mills and distribute them among the closed plants, opening one at a time. Employees who remain at their posts will be promoted and trained for new positions. President Schwab of the Steel corporation and President Shaffer of the Amalgamated association repeated today their declarations that there would be no compromise. Schwab says no more propositions will be made or entertained, while Shaffer insists any new proposals must come from the employers. Already material is becoming scarce, and local firms, depending upon the output of the steel mills for material to work on, are crippled. Independent mills obtain high prices for their product and have more orders than they can care for. Not the slightest trouble has occurred at any point in this immediate territory and Amalgamated men are correspondingly happy. From one or two points the strikers are reported as restless and caget for action, but so far have kept faith with their leaders and refrained from committing any breach of the peace. The United States Steel corporation, it was learned today from an official source, will at once proceed in a systematic manner to start its closed sheet mills, making the non-union plants of the Kiskiminetas Valley the cradle where strike breakers will be trained and then sent out to the mills that are closed. The trust officials have decided to go ahead slowly in the matter of starting mills and to do so as with little publicity as possible. Machinists Uphold Strike. Washington, D. C., Aug. 9.—The extension of the steel strike to the machinists employed in the mills affected by the strike is a possible development. There are between 800 and 1,000 machinists in the steel mills. President O'Connell said today that a request for a sympathetic strike from President Shaffer of the Amalgamated association would, of course, be given serious consideration. He added that the employment of non-union men in place of the strikers undoubtedly would precipitate a strike of the machinists, who would not work beside non-union men. PREPARING FOR THE CONCLAVE Programme of the Louisville Meeting of Knights Templars Arranged. Kingsland Templars Arranged. Louisville, Ky., Aug. 8.—The official program for the twenty-eighth triennial conclave of Knights Templars to be held here the last week of this month, was announced this morning by the executive committee. The week will open Sunday with public worship at the Broadway Methodist church, conducted by the Very Eminent Sir J. C. W. Cox of Washington, Iowa, grand prelate of the grand encampment. Monday will be devoted to receiving at the depots and escorting to quarters all arriving commanderies. Monday night will witness the inaugural of festivities in the formal opening of headquarters of the commendary of Kentucky in the custom house with a reception. Tuesday morning the big parade will take place. At night there will be a reception; an entertainment at Confederate hall entitled "Darkest America," showing the song and dance side of the Southern darky, under the personal direction of Col. Will S. Hayes, the noted song writer; fireworks and the first of a series of excursions up the Ohio river. The competitive drill, the first since the San Francisco conclave in 1883, is scheduled for Wednesday at Churchill downs. Commanderies from San Francisco, Denver, Chicago, Cincinnati, Parkersburg, W. V., Pittsburgh and Washington are entered in the drill. On Thursday night the grand ball will be given at the Horse Show building. Friday will be devoted to side trips through Kentucky to the blue-grass region and Mammoth cave. Yates Takes Trip to Kansas. Springfield, Ill., Aug. 8.—Gov. Yates left yesterday for Kansas. He was accompanied by William Yates, his cousin, and the latter's wife and two sons, and all will attend the golden wedding celebration of Mr. and Mrs. Abner Yates, parents of William Yates and uncle and aunt of the Governor, which takes place to-day at Yates Center. Gov. Yates is expected to return Thursday morning. Young Girl Kills Her Brother Tuckerton, N. J., Aug. 9.—During the temporary absence from home of their parents the children of H. E. Hanly of this place secured a revolver and Ethel, aged 9, shot and killed her brother, Elmer, aged 5 years. The 38-caliber bullet entered and passed entirely through the boy's head. Mildred Trevanion BY THE DUCHESS. CHAPTER XIII.—(Continued.) "Mildred, what do you mean?" he exclaimed. "The day after tomorrow you shall have the fifteen thousand pounds," she said; and I-I am engaged to be married to Lord Lyndon." Her mother arose, flushed and triumphant. Here indeed was a match worthy of her darling. All recollection of the relief to be gained through the promised money faded in comparison with this wonderful piece of news. At last Mildred had made her choice, and it was a most wise one. "Oh, Mildred, is it true? How glad I am!" she began. "I think—" But the girl put up her hands to her ears and recolled her touch. "Not now—not now!" she exclaimed almost roughly. How could she endure congratulations and good wishes about what seemed to her the cruelest event in all her life? How submit to questionings and kindly probings, when she felt her heart was breaking? Surely in such a case congratulations were a mockery. She left them, and hurrying to her own room, strove hard to quiet the storm that raged within her; while they, remaining behind, asked each other in whispers how it had all happened, and half feared to believe the welcome news was true. But Lady Caroline's heart mote her when she remembered the look in Mildred's eyes when they had met hers—the great unhappy light that had shone in them, revealing so much that she would gladly have kept untold. But the mother's eyes had seen it, and so she followed Mildred to her room, only to find the poor child pacifying up and down with restless, feverish hands and face grown old with passionate care. She stopped as her mother entered, sighing heavily. Lady Caroline stretched out her hands. "Mildred, tell me what it is," she entreated, wistfully, with sorrowful, longing sympathy in her tone. "Am I not your mother?" And Mildred cried, "Oh, mother?" and, falling on her knees, with arms round the mother's waist, and eyes hidden, sobbed a little of her grief away. All in vain. The next morning brought a letter from Lady Eagleton's solicitor, containing the news of her ladyship's sudden death, and stating that, on her will being opened, it was discovered that she had bequeathed to her "beautiful and well-beloved grandniece, Mildred Trevanion," the sum of thirty-five thousand pounds. Christmas was at hand, and with it came Denzil Younge. "I hear you are to be congratulated," he said to Mildred, whom he met in the grounds immediately upon his arrival—"is it true?" "Yes, it is quite true," answered Miss Trevanion, steadily, disdaining to put off the evil hour by equivocation or pretended ignorance. "Then you are going to marry him after all?" said Denzil. "I am engaged to be married to Lord Lyndon," returned Miss Treanion. Then, very abruptly, Denzil asked: "Are you happy?" "Of course, I am happy," she answered, with a faint accession of color: "why do you ask me such a strange question? Do I look unhappy?" "I think you do," he said, gently; "your face seems changed to me; it does not wear its old expression; and just now, as I was passing by the village church, I glanced in for a moment!"—she raised her eyes anxiously—and saw you. You were kneeling at the altar rails, and, as I watched—forgive me, it was but for an instant—I thought I heard—Mildred, were you crying?" "And so," observed Mildred petitly, giving no heed to his question, "because one happens to feel a little freted about some trifling matter, and eries a few silly tears, one is to be considered in the lowest depths of despair? It is absurd. I will not listen to such folly; Lord Lyndon, I am sure, would not wish me to do so, and—" "And as he is everything to you now, while I and all the rest of the world count nothing," interrupted Denzil, bitterly—"is that so? Do you expect me to believe that? Because, if you do, I tell you plainly, that I do not believe it, and never shall. He is unsuited to you in every way, having not an idea in common with you. Oh, Mildred"—passionately—"why have you done this thing? Why have you sacrificed your whole long, sweet life so miserably? Was there some great reason for 't of which I have never heard? Could you not have waited? My love, my darling, is there nothing I can do for you?" "There is nothing I would have done," she answered, half angrily. "Why will you persist in thinking I have done something worthy of repentance? I am happy. Do you hear me? —perfectly happy. I have accepted my position willingly and of my own free choice, and I do not wish it altered or undone in any single way. I have quite made up my mind; and although you once told me you considered me unworthy to be the wife of any honest man, still I am vain enough to believe that at all events I can make this most honest man fairly contented." "I was mad when I said that," re- CHAPTER XIV joined Denzil, slowly. "Many a time since have I recollected my words and felt how brutal they must have sounded. But surely you will forgive me now—at this moment when I am learning for the first time how miserable and bare and cold a place this world is. Let me bid good-by to all my hope with the certainty that at least you bear me no ill-will." He held out his hand as he spoke and took hers. Mildred's voice failed her, but she managed to whisper faintly: "Give me your forgiveness also." "If you think it necessary," he said, "you have it; but I can remember no wrong you ever did me." They were standing with hands clasped and eyes reading each other's hearts. Denzil drew his breath quickly. "Good-by," he murmured, despairingly, and, turning away, abruptly, passed rapidly out of her sight. When all the people at King's Abbott met to dine Denzil was among them, and very welcome he found himself. Charlie alone of all the family was absent; but even he had written word to say he would be with them for a day or two in the course of the following week. "We ought to get up a party and go to the lake tomorrow," suggested Eddie, during a pause in the conversation, Lyndon, who was also dining with them, and who generally agreed with everybody, said he thought it was a "capital plan," and appealed to Miss Trevionan, who sat beside him. She thought she had lost her skates or misplaced them, or something; but Frances Sylverton overruled all such opposition by declaring that she had several pairs to lend, and that a day on the ice would be delicious. "But perhaps it will be hardly safe enough this week," she added, somewhat anxiously. "Shall we wait until Tuesday next?" "Charlie said he would be down on Monday night," put in Eddie, innocently, apropos of nothing, and without lifting his eyes from the cream on which he was seemingly intent; whereupon Miss Sylverton blushed furiously, and declined any further investigation of the subject. Finally, however—chiefly through the instrumentality of Mildred—the expedition was arranged to take place on the Tuesday following, so that Frances, in her inmost heart, was satisfied. In process of time the day arrived—as also did Charlie the night before, very much to the satisfaction of everybody concerned in the excursion—and, after a considerable amount of harmless and utterly unavoidable squabbling, the party—which had become rather a large one, in consequence of numerous invitations issued later on—divided into twos and threes, as circumstances or inclinations dictated—Lady Caroline, Mrs. Deverill, and one other married lady occupying the first open carriage; while Charlie, Miss Sylverton, Jane Deverill, and Captain Harvey took possession of the second. Mabel, seeing Denzil looking slightly dejected, with her usual sweetness had entreated him in the prettiest manner to drive her in the dog cart; and Eddie, who, at this period was hopelessly and finally in love—for about the fifteenth time—with an extremely pretty, but decidedly idiotic little girl, staying with the Deverilis, had managed to vanish in some mysterious way, in company with others, similarly heartbound; while Mildred, whom nobody seemed to want, and with whom none of the opposite sex in these days attempted to interfere, feil to Lord Lyndon's lot. When fairly started the skaters made as pictureques a group as any eye could wish to rest on, the girls, in their soft, luxurious furs and brilliant sat petticons, striking out odily on the glassy surface of the lake. Frances and Mildred were accomplished skaters, Mabel was not quite so good; still the latter could hold her own and certainly beside the Deverill girls—who were generally clumsy—looked everything that could be desired. "You will help me, Mr. Younge," she had whispered to Denzil, as he assisted her down from the dog-cart. So when he had fastened her skates and pronounced her "fit," she started bravely enough on the slippery promade. At one end there rose a post marked "Dangerous," of which as usual those whom it should have warned remained profoundly ignorant. Denzil alone had observed it; others, if they observed, attached little importance to it. Miss Trevianon and Frances Sylervton, with merry, gay laughter that rang through the crisp air, were trying to outdo each other in grace and agility. Frances decidedly having the best of it, she being one of those girls who do anything they set their hearts on "better than anybody else." As Denzil turned from watching them, he perceived Lord Lyndon, at a distance, leisurely, but surely, making for the forbidden spot; and, as he saw this, an almost savage desire to see this man, who had robbed him of his all, humiliated before the eyes of his betrothed, took possession of him. A minute later, however, and—having deposited Mabel on the bank—he was skating hurriedly toward his unsuspecting lordship. "Lyndon!" he shouted, when still some way from him, and shortly afterward laid his hand upon his arm. "Hullo!" exclaimed Lyndon, trying to keep his balance, and succeeding with much difficulty. "What is the matter? You have nearly thrown me! Anything wrong, eh?" "Don't you see where you are going?" cried Denzil, angrily and outgrossing, being considerably out of breath and temper. "Have you no eyes? Unless you want to be drowned, or, at all events, wet to the skin, you will get away from this place. Can' you see it marked 'Dangerous?' "Never saw it until this very moment, I give you my honor," said Lyndon, solemnly gazing at the warning as though lost in amazement at his own want of observation. "I should have gone straight on, and in another moment—I am awfully obliged to you, Younge—indeed, more grateful than I can tell you." Mildred had been looking on, and, having witnessed the whole scene, had understood it thoroughly—had seen her future lord and master gliding to his doom, and had half started to call out or warn him in some way of his danger, when Denzil's figure, flashing before her eyes, showed her that he, too, had recognized Lyndon's peril, and was on his way to tell him of it. As Denzil returned from his mission and cast his eyes upon her, she appeared unconscious of everything but the dainty little pair of skates she was in the act of unfastening. He stopped. "Can I help you?" he asked; and she answered promptly, without lifting her eyes: "No, thank you. I am quite accustomed to do this sort of thing for myself"-whereupon she drew off the skates, in confirmation of her words, and Denzil went on to Mabel. An hour crept by, and then Lady Caroline, feeling that she had suffered enough for her friends for that one day, declared her intention of returning without further delay, and forthwith departed, carrying with her Mabel, who was anxious to reach home before the post-hour arrived. The eldest Miss Deverill was afflicted with nervousness, and, having been driven to the lake by "Sonny" Summerton—who was in a bad temper, and knew as much about driving as the "man in the moon"—had endured such agonies on the journey as determined her, whatever came of it, to drive back in different company. So, going up to her cousin, Lord Lyndon, who was an undoutted "whip," she entreated him as follows: "Promise me," she said, "that you will drive me home." "My dear Margaret," said Lyndon, "do not ask me to do that. You know I have Mildred under my care." "My dear Henry," returned Miss Deverill, desperately, "you must drive me, or you will have my death to answer for. I will not trust myself again to that hare-brained boy, who sulked the entire way here, and knows nothing whatever of driving. Indeed, my nerves are at present in such a state that I can go home with nobody but you; besides, anybody I see that the horse is positively dangerous." Lyndon glanced toward the animal in question, and saw that it was unquestionably skittish, displaying an evident desire to bolt, and seeming to take particular delight in taxing the patience of the small groom who stood on tiptec to hold him, after which he looked once more at his cousin's dourous countenance and relented. "Well, somebody must take care of Mildred," he said, with hesitation, "and—where is Mildred?" "She went toward the wood about half an hour age—somebody ought to find her and say that we are on the move," responded Harvey, from beneath a horse, where he was hastily arranging a twisted strap. "Eddie, go and find her," said his lordship, distracted. (To be continued.) TRAVELERS' DOG BAGS. Theatrical People Carry Pet Dogs from Place to Place. A novel thing in travelers' equipment is the dog bag. It is produced by a trunk and bag maker who makes a speciality of things for the theatrical people, and it is used chiefly by the theatrical people for the convenient carrying of pet dogs from place to place in their constant traveling when on the road. The pets carried about the country by the theatrical people, mainly women, include dogs of various kinds and sizes. It may be that the dog owners are on the road eight or ten months in a year and constantly moving as they are, some means of getting the dogs about easily is especially desirable. The dog bag is made in the form of what is called in the trade a cabin bag. It has a box-shaped body with vertical sides and ends and with the top sloping. Obviously the cabin bag was the most desirable for this use, because with its straight sides it afforded the most room inside, and so gave the greatest comfort to the dog. Made up as a dog bag one end of the bag is taken out entirely, and in place is set a wire screen. Sometimes both ends for greater ventilation are thus equipped. Over the grating is a leather curtain, which may be opened or closed.—Chicago Journal. Studying Criminal Records Studying Criminal Records. H. B.

The remedies they try only temporarily palliate the distress, but never effect a cure. Remedies for dyspepsia have multiplied so rapidly that they are becoming as numerous as the leaves of the forest, and yet dyspepsia continues to flourish in spite of them all. This is due to the fact that the cause of dyspepsia is not recognized as catarrh. If there is a remedy in the whole range of medicinal preparations that is in every particular adapted to dyspepsia, that remedy is Peruna. This remedy is well nigh invincible in these cases. Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium, Columbus, O., says: "In my large practice and correspondence I have yet to learn of a single case of atonic dyspepsia which has not either been greatly benefited or cured by Peruna." No one suffering with catarrh of the stomach or dyspepsia, however slight, can be well or happy. It is the cause of so many distressing symptoms that it is a most dreaded disease. Peruna acts immediately on the seat of the trouble, the inflamed mucous membranes lining the stomach and a lasting cure is effected. If you do not derive p. npt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis.

Of the Grand Canon of the Yellowstone, Rudyard Kipling writes: "All I can say is that without warning or preparation I looked into a gulf 1,700 feet deep, with eagles and fish hawks circling far below. And the sides of that gulf were one wild welter of color—crimson, emerald, cobalt, ochre, amber, honey splashed with port wine, snow-white, vermilion, lemon and silver gray in wide washes. The sides did not fall sheer, but were graven by time and water and air into monstrous heads of kings, dead chiefs—men and women of the old time. So far below that no sound of its strife could reach us, the Yellowstone river ran, a finger-wide strip of jade green. The sunlight took these wondrous walls and gave fresh hues to those that nature had already laid there. Evening crept through the pines that shadowed us, but the full glory of the day flamed in that canon as we went out very cautiously to a jutting piece of rock—blood-red or pink it was—that overhung the deepest deeps of all. Now I know what it is to sit enthroned amid the clouds of sunset as the spirits sit in Blake's pictures. Giddiness took away all sensation of touch or form, but the sense of blinding color remained.

The death of the dowager empress was somewhat sudden. At 4 o'clock her physicians reported no change in her condition. Empress Wilhelm and her majesty' other children were in the sick room most of the day. Hamburg, Aug. 6.—A premature statement that the dowager empress was dead was given out officially at Homburg castle shortly after noon. Copies were posted in half the shop windows of the town. The blinds were drawn in the windows of many of the residences and all flags were half-masted. A little later the principal street of Homburg was filled with shoppers buying black. Then came word that the news was false. There seems little doubt that the message came from Friedrichshof, although who sent it no one seems to know. Count Marshallhaupt, who gave out the accurate announcement, has been summoned to Cronberg. The false news was telegraphed widely, and many German cities displayed signs of mourning. When the official contradiction was sent, this was believed. Some of the mourning emblems in Cronberg were greatly multiplied when the flag on Friedrichshof fluttered down to half mast. One by one the little shops brought out flog poles bearing German colors at half mast, with crepe wares decked with a scrap of black. Soon after nightfall Emperor William, accompanied by the empress and the crown prince, drove back to Homburg. Whether the body will be in state has not yet been determined. The details for its removal to be intered by the side of the remains of Emperor Frederick will be discussed in Homburg tomorrow. The dowager empress knew her days were few. She had said farewell to most of her servants. It is understood that she has arranged for the future of nearly every one of them. She had expressed a desire that not much should be known by the public concerning her disease, lest some should be saddened by the condition of her sufferings. There was much reluctance in summoning King Edward, as it was not desired that he should have a long wait. Tonight the children of the deceased placed floral tributes around the body. The face wears a singularly peaceful expression, almost childlike, having shrunk from its normal size. In the course of the evening several telegraphs of condolence arrived from European sovereigns addressed to Emperor William. SMELTER IS ROBBED. Selby Refinery in California Relieved of $340,000 San Francisco, Aug. 7.—News has just reached here from Selby the Smelting works at Vallejo that $340,000 worth of gold bullion has been stolen during the night. The thieves had tunneled under the works and gained access to the strong room where bullion was stored. The works are located close to San Francisco bay and the tunnel extended from the water's edge under the building. It is supposed that the thieves took their plunder away by boat. The Selby smelter is on the coast and ores are sent from all parts of the western country to be reduced. The works are located on the bay shore, about thirty miles from San Francisco. A. J. Ralston, president of the company, stated to the Associated Press that the thieves had excavated a tunnel between 300 and 400 feet long from a point near the railroad tunnel, and under the strong room connected with the works and had secured bars of bullion aggregating in value over $340,000 and had transported the gold to a boat in waiting near the company's wharf. In their hurry to get away, one bar of the bullion had been left on the beach. The robbers took the unusual precaution of strewing their tracks with red pepper, presumably to throw bloodhounds off the track. Each bar of bullion was numbered and a description of the various bars is now in the hands of the detectives. President Ralston stated that the robbers could not dispose of the bullion without having it remelted and mixed with other metals. He is of the opinion that they will bury the gold or sink it in the bay, awaiting a convenient time for its removal. There are but eleven smelters on this const where the gold can be remelted. President Ralston stated that he had absolutely no clue as to the identity of the robbers. At the Selby works the gold is kept in a steel lined strong room. The robbers tunneled until they got directly under the room and then cut through the floor. The tunnel was skillfully constructed and it must have taken many days to construct Once in the strong room the thieves had only to help themselves to all in sight.

Cox, Wis., Aug. 5th.—Frank M. Russell of this place had Kidney Disease so badly that he could not walk. He tried Doctor's treatment and many different remedies, but was getting worse. He was very low. He read in a newspaper how Dodd's Kidney Pills were curing cases of kidney Trouble, Bright's Disease, and Rheumatism, and thought he would try them. He took two boxes, and now he is quite well. He says: "I can now work all day, and not feel tired. Before using Dodd's Kidney Pills I couldn't walk across the floor." Mr. Russell's is the most wonderful case ever known in Chippewa County. This new remedy—Dodd's Kidney Pills—is making some miraculous cures in Wisconsin.

TWICE Go A worl Bi bent T pant T busi G but T to t T sun It the C stor wre T wil bri I en Fa l sci by I ing ap T ing as th hi as co th co te Emancipation day was celebrated Monday at Ritter's park, and it was a day that will long be remembered in the annals of Burlington's history. Many visitors from Keokuk, Fort Madison, Mt. Pleasant, Monmouth and other neighboring towns were present. The Monmouth Labor band furnished some excellent music for the occasion. Mayor Marquardt briefly and feelingly spoke of the great emancipator. Rev. Reeves of Keokuk responded eloquently, and the manner in which he told of our progress and of our social standing evoked much applause. In speaking of our sociology, he said: "You have brought us here and now you are trying to rid yourselves of us. England doesn't want us, what are you going to do with us? In the Revolutionary war we shed our blood in the cause of our beloved country; in the civil war you find us here and there, never flinching from shot and shell; in peace we are citizens; you yourselves have said so. Then why do you hate us? We don't want your white girls, for there are plenty of our own color for us." Rev. Reeves well deserves the praise that he received and Keokuk should be very proud of him. Mrs. Grace Allen, a talented young woman read an excellent paper on Booker T. Washington. Rev. Joseph Underwood, the "Demosthenes" of Fort/Madison, delivered the address of the day. He spoke fluently for nearly an hour. He reviewed our history, told of our reverses and triumphs and spoke in flowery language of our intellectual strides and pictured a lovely future for our race. After the closing address the crowd adjourned to all parts of the grounds to enjoy themselves. Mrs. McCracken and daughter, Myra, of Mt. Pleasant, were the guests of Mrs. Julia Folks of this city on Monday. Mr. James Brown of 287 North Central avenue, who has been sick for some time, is recuperating.

There was a large attendance. Bro. T. Harper and Rev. Thornton of Rock Island and Rev. S. M. Dowell of Moline were present. The ! officers of the Third Baptist church offered to present a silver water pitcher and cup to the church that gave the most money to assist the church in paying off the indebtedness on that day.

Miss Mary Humph, who has been very sick on the mend. J. A. Bingaman of Muchakinock preached the dedicatory sermon of the Third Baptist church. The sermon was logical and full of wholesome instructions, and if we only put his sayings to practice the results will be beneficial. Our pastor, Rev. Burton, preached the anniversary sermon in the evening. Mr. and Mrs. Tolliver and mother of Rock Island were visitors Sunday. We are glad to have our friends of neighboring towns visit us. Rev. J. O.

Caused by a Cow's Tail. Lock Haven (Penn.) Spe. Philadelphia Inquirer: Mrs. Joseph Ross, of Pleasant Gap, met with a most peculiar accident. When she went into the barnyard to do the milking a cow switched its tail, which caught in the handle of the milk bucket. The hook on the bucket handle caught in the palm of Mrs. Ross' hand. Then the heifer started to run, dragging Mrs. Ross about the barnyard until she was seriously if not fatally injured, the hook at last releasing her after tearing completely through the hand from the fleshy base of the thumb diagonally across to the little finger.

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 heretefore employed by the railroads on the Pacific coast. Latest Fad 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 nuth and not seventh in order. "Paperling 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.

Orange Free State Flag. The Orange Free State flag is a simple rectangle of vivid orange. An orange tree in full fruit is the most distinctive feature of the arms of the Orange Free State. Beneath the tree are on one side a lion and on the other a number of oxen. An ox-wagon similar to that on the Transvaal arms and three suspended horns complete the whole.
