The most charming THE BYSTANDER. About two years ago we enlarged the Iowa State Bystander from a four page folio to an eight page quarto on certain conditions, that if our business such as advertising, subscription and sufficient news of general nature that we, would continue it that size otherwise net. At present we have not had sufficient advertising and news of general interest that we can use now, so we have, for at least a short time gone to the old size and if business increases as we hope we will soon be able to extend is still more. We solicit our readers and subscribers to pay up their back subscription dues and assist us in extending the circulation. IS THE RACE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION At the last state convention of the Republican party a number of the leading men of the race attended, some as delegates others in the interest of candidates of their choice. They were invited by the members of the church to attend a social given at the home of one of the members. On reaching the place we found quite a number of the members and friends of the church present, and among those present were both grammer and high school scholars Hardly had we time to meet the people until someone begin to play "rag-time" music, others forgetting themselves and tried to keep time with the music. One member of the party, not a church member asked "is the race moving in the right direction and are the young people showing the proper respect for our churches and their members." This occurred at the home of the local preacher and the boarding place of the pastor, and continued until we left, without a protest on the part of either pastor or members. A few evenings ago we attended a social, given by one of the leading churches in this city and at the home of one of its most devoted members. Most of those present were members. The daughter of one of the leading members, and a very promising girl, with ability if rightly applied to entertain the most cultured audience, seating herself at the piano playing "rag time" pieces. One can easily imagine the feeling of a Christian mother when the daughter ignores her teaching or the religious feeling of those present. Who is responsible for this condition of affairs? is it the church or its influence, or is it the lack of proper parental instruction, or is it the miss-application of the education they are receiving, or is it the lack of proper education that can control the emotional part of the makeup. One question is the "rag time" music elevating, and will a proper knowledge of it fit one for business? if not why do so many seek every opportunity to show their knowledge of it. REPUBLICAN CONVENTION Last Saturday the Polk county held her republican convention, the first convention held this year, and the present incumbent Hon. J. A. T. Hull, was endorsed by this county for congress and in all probability he will be the republican nominee. While our preference was Judge Prouty, yet we bow to the will of the minority. We had much rather be defeated honestly then to succeed by fraud, cheating, suppressing and using unfair methods to accomplish success. The methods used by the Hull forces was so flagrant, so fraudulent as to cause Croker and Tamny hall to blush. It is a sample of Southern methods in a mild form, used to suppress the colored voter in the South. Shall we free, loyal, honest, intelligent voters permit such a disgraceful method to be used as was used last Friday a week ago? While Judge Prouty on the face of the returns was declared to be defeated, yet fraud was alleged and substantiated by affidavits and the county central committee or the committee on credentials would not allow the ballots to be opened or recounted, which to a disinterested person looks extremely suspicious, much less to parties interested. We are also glad of the heroic and brave stand that the leading colored men took, and with all the offers of money and promises of most anything, they did not desert their choice; neither were they bought this time as had been hinted. Fully 90 per cent voted for Prouty. The other county officers are: Judges, C. P. Holmes W. H. McHenry, A. H. McVey and James A. Howe; Clerk, B. F. Coffin; Auditor, Fred Cope; Recorder, Mrs. Frank Dodson; for County Attorney, Jessie Miller; Member of Board of Supervisors, C. W. Britton, CITY CONVENTION The republican city convention was held last Saturday, the same time that the county was held. James Brenton was nominated for Mayor; Harry Gross City Treasurer; John B. Lucas, City Auditor; J. W. Budd, City Engineer; L. I. Silvara, Police Judge; W. H. Bremner, City Solicitor; Chas. Schramm, City Assessor; J. W. Ratcliff, Market Master; John King, Alderman at Large, West Side; E. F. Whitney, Alderman at Large, East Side; Alderman First ward, B. F. Prunty; Second ward, Al Smith; Third ward, E. H. Higgins; Fourth ward, E. VanDyke; Fifth ward, John Harley; Sixth ward, W. H. Brereton; Seventh ward, W. S. Fairall. Thus we see not a single colored man was nominated for any elective office, and now the representatives of the grand old party will soon be around asking and urging your support, yet our race has not even one single representative on the city or county ticket. You may fool all of the colored people part of the time but you can't fool part of the people all the time. Deal fair with us is all that we ask, and we will be satisfied with nothing less HOW CHARGE OF DESER TION WAS PLACED AGAINST HIM. John Glass, a Des Moines man is the principal in a cause celebre. A bill correcting his military record was made the subject of President Roosevelt's first veto message to congress last week. The message sent to the senate read as follows: "There can be no graver crime than the crime of desertion from the army or navy, and especially during war; it is then high treason to the nation and is justly punishable by death. No man should be relieved from such a crime, especially when nearly forty years have passed since it occurred save on the clearest possible proof of his real innocence. In this case the statement made by the affiant before the committee does not in all points agree with his statement made to the secretary of the navy. In any event, it is incomprehensible to me that he should not have made effective effort to get back into the navy. He had served but little more than a month where he deserted and the war lasted for over a year afterward, yet he made no effort whatever to get back into the navy. Under such circumstances it seems to me that to remove the charge of desertion from the navy and give him an honorable discharge would be to falsify, the record and do an injustice to his gallant and worthy comrades who fought to a finish. The names of the veterans who fought in the civil war made the honor list of the republic, and I am not willing to put upon it the name of a man unworthy of the high position." JOHN GLASS IN HIS SHOP. In a little barber shop at 1194 North Sixth avenue lives and toils the man whose misfortune has thus been the occasion of President Roosevelt's first veto message to congress. John Glassjis one whose quiet dignity, modesty and politeness make for himself friends wherever he goes. He was busy with a customer when the reporter called and pausing in the strokes of the razor when told the object of the visit, he replied: "Well I don't know that I ought to say anything about that.. That was thirty eight years ago you know and I was just a boy then, 16 years old. Mr. Roosevelt says I deserted, but I didn't." "You want to know some- thing about the history of my case, don't you? I was born at Hopkinsville, Ky., March 31, 1848. I enlisted for one year in the navy as a powder boy on January 25, 1864, and was put aboard the steamer Moose, No. 38 the flagship of the Cumberland river fleet. At about 7 o'clock on the morning of March 4, 1874, our ship anchored in the Ohio river opposite Cincinnati, it left about 6 o'clock that night and there were armed guards always on duty. So you see I couldn't have deserted if I had wanted to. But one of my superior officers wanted to get rid of me because I was so unfortunate as to have knowledge of certain things regarding him which I must keep secret till the end of my life. That morning he ordered me to a skiff and together we pulled off in disguise. He took me down to Bucktown, in Cincinnati, gave me $11,00 out of his own pocket to buy a citizen's suit and then left me there, that was the only money I received for my six weeks of service. He took it out of his own pocket and gave it to me and he wasn't a paymaster. He was just au officer. "I thought I had to obey my superior officer. I thought I had to do just what he told me to do. How could I have deserted from that boat when there was a guard walking up and down with a gun on his shoulder?" The interviewer admitted that the question was unanswerable. "I would have had to go either straight up or straight down. I stayed around Cincinnati for two or three days and then went to work on the government steamer Izetta as soustabout, handling freight. They didn't get any men those days, they had to take boys. About a month later I took the steamer Imperial and went to St. Louis, reaching there the first of may. As a result of exposure of being half starved and away from home I fell sick with typhoid fever and lay in the hospital at St. Louis- two moyths. After leaving the hospital I went steamboating on the Mississippi and kept at it for eleven years, then I went to Keokuk, Iowa and was in the barber business there or almost twenty-five years. On the 6th day of last July I came to Des Moines and went into this shop. "Yes, I have] been around the country a good deal and I have never run from any body. I don't feel that I have done anything to run for. I want to be a citizen of the United States now. I think that I have served long enough. Senator Gear introduced a bill into congress for me about three years ago, and since his death "Senator Dolliver and Congressman Hull have been pushing my case. I got a letter from Senator Dolliver a week ago Friday telling me that my bill had passed both houses of congress. The other night I wrote a fine letter to President Roosevelt and told him him the whole story. The president does not understand this case, and I believe after a thorough investigation he will reconsider his action and vindicate a name that I have done nothing to dishonor. I am not a deserter and I want the world to know that I am not, I will get up before the president and congress and tell them so." An "Accident" Indeed. Among the "accidents" reported in Austria recently was the case of a workingman who walked along the road smoking a pipe, with a fifty-sound bag of gunpowder on his back. Doubled the Collection. A Kansas minister told his congregation on a recent Sunday that those who were in debt need not place anything in the box. The collection was double the usual amount.

At about 7 o'clock on the morning of March 4, 1874, our ship anheored in the Ohio river opposite Cincinnati, it left about 6 o'clock that night and there were armed guards always on duty. So you see I couldn't have deserted if I had wanted to. But one of my superior officers wanted to get rid of me because I was so unfortunate as to have knowledge of certain things regarding him which I must keep secret till the end of my life. That morning he ordered me into a skiff and together we pulled off in disguise. He took me down to Bucktown, in Cincinnati, gave me $11.00 out of his own pocket to buy a citizen's suit and then left me there, that was the only money I received for my six weeks of service. He took it out of his own pocket and gave it to me and he wasn't a paymaster. He was just an officer. "I thought I had to obey my superior officer. I thought I had to do just what he told me to do. How could I have deserted from that boat when there was a guard walking up and down with a gun on his shoulder?" The interviewer admitted that the question was unanswerable. "I would have had to go either straight up or straight down. I stayed around Cincinnati for two or three days and then went to work on the government steamer Izetta as soustabout, handling freight. They didn't get any men those days, they had to take boys. About a month later I took the steamer Imperial and went to St. Louis, reaching there the first of may. As a result of exposure of being half starved and away from home I fell sick with typhoid fever and lay in the hospital at St. Louis- two moyths. After leaving the hospital I went steamboating on the Mississippi and kept at it for eleven years, then I went to Keokuk, Iowa and was in the barber business there or almost twenty-five years. On the 6th day of last July I came to Des Moines and went into this shop. "Yes, I have] been around the country a good deal and I have never run from any body. I don't feel that I have done anything to run for. I want to be a citizen of the United States now. I think that I have served long enough. Senator Gear introduced a bill into congress for me about three years ago, and since his death Senator Dolliver and Congressman Hull have been pushing my case. I got a letter from Senator Dolliver a week ago Friday telling me that my bill had passed both houses of congress. The other night I wrote a fine letter to President Roosevelt and told him him the whole story. The president does not understand this case, and I believe after a thorough investigation he will reconsider his action and vindicate a name that I have done nothing to dishonor. I am not a deserter and I want the world to know that I am not, I will get up before the president and congress and tell them so." An "Accident" Indeed. Among the "accidents" reported in Austria recently was the case of a workingman who walked along the road smoking a pipe, with a fifty-sound bag of gunpowder on his back. Doubled the Collection. A Kansas minister told his congregation on a recent Sunday that those who were in debt need not place anything in the box. The collection was double the usual amount.

WAR CLAIM TO BE REDUCED.

In fact, the earliest payments wore turned direct into the state's war funds.

If I were—where I 80 soon sball be, would she not be dearer to you than any one on earth? Would you not be well pleased to make her your wife?” “Yes, Limight be." “That Is enough, Gerard, Frances, eome hither.” ‘The conversation had been carried on in a whisper, and Lady Francis Chenevix came towards them from a distant window, Alice took her hand; she also held Gerard's. “L thought you were talking secrets,” sald Ludy Frances, “so I kept away.” “As we were,” answered Alles. “Frances, what can we do to keep him among us? Do you know what Col. Hope has told him?" “No. What?” “That though he shall be reinstated In favor as to money matters, he shall Hot be in his affection, or in the house, unless he prove sorry for his rebellion by retracting it. The rebelllon, you know, at the first outbreak, when Ger- ard was expelled from fhe house be- fore that unlucky bracelet was ever Dought; I think he Is sorry for it; you must help him to be more 80.” “Fanny,” sald Gerard, while her eye- ds drooped, and the damask mantled tn her cheek, deeper than Alice's hec- Uc, “will you help me?” “As If { could make head or tall out of what you two are discussing!” erted she by way of helping her out of her contusion, so she attempted to turn away; but Gerard caught her to bis side and detained her.” “Fanny—will you drive me again trom the house?” She lifted her eyes twinkling with a Uttle spleo of mischief, “I did not drive you before.” “Ina manner, yes.” he laughed. “Do, you know what did drive me?" ‘She had known It at the time, and Gorard read {t im her conscious face. “L seo it all," he murmured, drawing her closer to him! “you have been far Kinder to me than I desorved. Fanny, Tet me try and repay you for it.” Frances endeavored to look dignified, but ft would not do, and she was obliged to brush away the tears of hap- piness that struggled to her eyes. Allee caught thelr hands together and held them between her own, with a mental aspiration for their Ife's future bappi- ness. Some tIme back she could not have breathed it in s0 fervent a spirit; but—as she had sald—the present world and its hopes had closed to her. “But you know, Gerard,” cried Lady Frances, In a saucy tone, “it you ever do help yourself to a bracelet in reality, you must not expect ime to go to prison with you.” “Yes, I shall,” answered he, far more saucily; "a wife must follow the for- tunes of her husband.” THE END. . that was the end of It so far's I remember. They told me afterward he was the topside fighter im the bull British Navy, and I'm hero to say he was.” “And you never got even?” asked the bartender, seeing that no one took up the challenge, “Never set eyes on him trom that day to this,” sald his boss, regretfully. “and It you did?" Smith paused—took a drink. "So help me I'd Shanghal him it he was King of England!” And one of the crowd who had put down the San Francisco Chronicle in order to hear this yarn picked it up again “S'elp me," he said, In breathless ex- cltement, “ere’s a funny eohincidence. ‘Ere’s a telegram from ‘Squimauit, sayin’ as how the Qagship Trlumphant. Hadmiral Sir Richard Dunn, K. C. B., Is comin’ down to San Francisco!” “By Jove, let's look." said Shanghal ‘Smith, Me read, and a heavenly smile overspread his hard countenance. He almost looked good, such Joy was his. “Tom,” he sald to the bartender, “set up drinks for the crowd. This is my man, for sure. And him an admiral, toot Holy sallor, ain't this Iuek?" Ho went out into the street and welked to and fro, rubbing his hands, while the men inside took thelr drink. “Was there evet such luck? Was there ever such luck?" murmured Mr. Shanghat Smith. “To. think of him turnin’ up all of his own accord on my particlar stampin’ ground! Holy sallor! was there ever such luck?" ‘Tho morning of the following day Her Majesty's ship Triumphant lay at her anchors off Saucelito, in San Fran- cisco Bay. Though the admiral did not know {t, one of the very first to greet him when he set his foot on dry land at the bottom of Market strect was tho man he had Heked so thoroughly ‘t= teen years before in Melbourne. “Ob, it's the same,” sald Smith to Mg. chfet runner, who was about the hardest case": in (Caltfornis, "Ha hele ede rssh bert healt fornia was your match. And the Call- fornia will all In three days,” “Righto,’” sald Smith; “Simpson ts ‘8 g00d, tough man. Bill, the Cailfor- ia will do.” “But how'll you corral the admiral, sir?” asked Bull, “You leave that to me,” replied his boss. “I've got a very frultful notion ‘as will fetch him, if he’s half the man he was,” Mr. “Say-{t-and-mean-It" Smith laid for Admiral Sir Richard Dunn, K. C. B,, ete, ete, from ten o'clock till half- past eleven, and he was the only man in the crowd that did not hope the vic- thm would come down with too many friends to be tackled. ‘The admiral camo at last; it was about a quarter to twelve, and the whole water-front was remarkably quiet. And the admiral was only ac- companied by his flag-leutenant. ‘Tho two were promptly sandbagged, tho Heutenant left on tho street and the admiral carried to the house in the Barbary Coast. When he showed ‘signs of coming to he was promptly dosed, and bis clothes were taken off him. "As he slept the sleep of the rugged they put on a complete sult of rough serge toggery and he be- came ‘Tom Deane, able-bodied seaman. By four o'clock in the morning Tom Deane lay fast asleep in a forward bunk of the California's fo'c's'lo as she was being towed through the Golden Gate, And his flag-lieutenant was Inquiring in hospital what had become of the admiral. And nobody could tell him more than he him- self knew. Flaring headlines _an- nounced the disappearance of a Brit- {sb admiral, and the wires and cables fairly hummed to England and the world generally. (To be continued.) ‘CORONATION FLOWER. EY SE ONS See) See Waverits May Be Chotan. There seems good reason for sup- posing that the lily of the valley, which has always been the favorite of Queen Alexandra, will take a very prominent place in the coronation decorations next June, says the Lon- don Telegraph. It is In that month, ‘as {t happens, that the bloom is at its dest out of doors, As it happens, the Mly of the valley can, in these days be had to almost any extent, and at any time of year, owing to a sytem of forcing which, ‘by a curfous coinct- dence, was first practiced in this coun- try on the king's estate at Sand-ing- lam. A Dutch cultivator of consid- erable repute set up the first “factory” at Dersingham, attracted thither by the consideration that the soll closely resembles that In which bulbs are so successfully cultivated in Holland, What he did was to import “crowns,” as they were termed, and then, by the utilization of artifclal heat, to bring them to the flowering stage as. and when desired. So well understood Is the practice in this respect that the Uly of the valley may be made to bloom to order, and the initiated know not only the day, but the. hour when the process will be completed. On the other hand, by means of cold storage, the stock of crowns can be kept 1m an undeveloped state for a Jong while, so as to be always ready for drawing upon as circumstances arise. June being the month of roses, there was some anticipation that _ these would be regarded as the coronation flowers; but the facts outlined above make {t plain that the very general employment of the queen's favorite would be not only a graceful compll- ment to her majesty, but would have the charm of novelty, besides present- Ing no serlous dimeulty. Out of season the Illy of the valley is still compara- tively expensive, but there cazt be lit- tle doubt that, with the long notice which Is given, and with the induce- ment which is held out to everybody who hag a garden to add to the avatl- able supply of these delicate flowers, next June, the range of values at the coronation ought to be anything but ‘exorbitant. ‘They Will Step on the foes. The man in the stable door gave the hose a jerk, but before it cleared the sidewalk the woman had Inided on it with both fect. “Wouldn't that jar you?” grunted he, with another tig, according to the New York ‘Times. “I never could understand what makes women 80 crazy about stepping on hose, any- way. T've been attending to lawns and gardens and sidewalks for a good many years and never yet have T seen a woman go past while the hose was ‘stretched Across the pavement that ‘she didn’t plant both feet on it and ‘tector around for awhile just for ex: ‘cree. “What pleasure the habit affords them T can't for the life of me sce. 1 wise to think that the practiee indicat. ed a remnant of childish playfulness and that they were a0 disporting themselves just to see the water play out in an extra spurt, but I've noticed lately that they never even look at the fountain end of the tube, so Ive come to tho conclusion that they know all that thumping will injure the hose and so perform their little stunts out of sheer deviltry. But whatever the cause of the practic, it certainly fs a fect that nine-tenths of tho women ‘passing along the street cannot resist the temptation to step on the hose.” bak ee ee An incident occurred during a sum- mor voyage. ‘of the army transport Bice ues Gnas war eee Resear entra nae fectat enact eee [cataract teed US oe io coma wet a ers ae eri ac teas mated eases pines El urvet at tes oostgane es eightleth meridian on the night of July 3, and, as usual, one day was Jost-in’ thie crossing thereof, In’ this ‘ay. daly. aad theater no cele Nee nme S ee oa Std iG Seles yr ik Se arene aay Pe, piard ote A eceny pe anny love ine man Heart ‘THE INDIAN IN, MODERR me" Arey Along the line of arouah Obiatoms, ‘ng Sia wie ewe aah the isp erat Aig a rates cone ve ag sits ay matte The Pueblo indians ot 49) 1 Aro, eet tte tale pete Ht pert "roaacnty nutct Sate SL es, of the Indians along the fic Heauae tae Wet tne of a fad, and of late years his, potaty tal Sad ee Bare oer net ee zing the advert con ated eee Bad nie tame, ye so Bien Big" cher’ ae FOR bens HE 1s, ie Yn te eh ae aot ia" Gist 88, SE ice tr de ntl aah ae sahatettscene a set anne, Ste Se Rema eae onde Teste a ee wins ah ate Seer ne arses See gh Make set fe ae iSite edie SN oops et pete ee ss petlt e a Paradila a ry oe a oats SPuS Mines mann 200 09 29 ue ‘Ase'iat Ress Blonchiog Blan “hase te Sixty United States naval remy are now being constructed Soa Ses Smif pak Seoe wu mcs SE SL oe ss Falling Im love is rotting exis aive in your affections" aie Raseern capitalists connect Retinghowee Recto ‘Compe h Se Soley lines stant weete hae [Sgovuatey.

The ordinance was given to a councilman to introduce, but he has so far declined to present it.

The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not only to the excellent combination of the laxative and carminative principles of plants, known to act most beneficially on the system, with agreeable and refreshing aromatic liquids, but also to the original method of manufacture.

Dr. C. M. M. PUTTING DOWN THE GAMBLERS. Simple Incident That Broke Up Meeting of Moral Citizens "These games of chance," said the distinguished gentleman who was addressing the representative citizens of the strictly moral town, "cannot be tolerated in our midst." (Cries of "Good! good!") "Shall we, because a social club finds it necessary to raise money, turn our backs and permit the operation of slot machines and other gambling devices?" (Loud shouts of "No! No!") "Shall we permit our sons to be lured into the wicked belief that they can be risking a little win much?" (Cries of "Never!") "It's an outrage!" "Down with the gamblers!" "Shall we——" At that instant one of the moral gentlemen happened to glance at the ticker, which had been temporarily set up under the stairway. With a blanched face he dashed in among his fellow-citizens and velled: "What's broke three-quarters and the bears have everybody on the run!" Four seconds later the meeting was over and the representative citizens of the highly moral town, who were sprinting toward the telegraph office, had forgotten that there ever was or ever might be such a thing as a social club or a slot machine or that gambling ought not to be allowed. A Simple Rule That Helps Him to Acquire a Lucrative Practice. A physician of long standing in this city who has a practice that any of his colleagues might envy—and, many in all probability do—recently gave this advice to a young doctor who was just starting out in his profession. The older man is a type of the kind of doctor that is said to be going out of style—the family physician. Whether he is destined to disappear or not, this kind of a physician followed a highly profitable kind of career while it lasted. Many young men used to regard this sort of practice as that to which they all aspired. "I have always made it a rule," said this experienced man of medicine, "to close every visit to a patient with a question or a comment on his or her physical condition. it is all very well to discuss various questions with one's patients, talk about all kinds of subjects and interest them in any way possible. But the final remark must be connected with the patient's physical condition. Tell him not to forget to take a certain medicine regularly, or tell her that you have never had a case that was just like hers—but in all cases talk last about the illness of the person you have come to see. I learned that when I was a young man from the most popular physician of his time. I always felt indebted to him, for it was not long before I realized the truth of the theory that nothing leaves such a favorable impression on a patient as to emphasize the importance of his malady!" 50 YEARS' EXPERIENCE PATENTS TRADE MARKS DESIGNS COPYRIGHTS & C.
