LOVERS OF GOOD MUSIC: PIANO SILENT There are homes in every city in which one finds fine pianos, but for one reason or another the pianos are silent—daugeret married and gone or or she boy who use to play has left the old home to make one for himself. Then there is the home in which the piano is regarded as "furishing" and far use of guests. (No home is properly furished without a musical instrument). Silent, except occasionally and yet the occupants of these homes are real lovers of godd music. Why not get a Kimball "Piano Player" and arouse these sleeping pianos. Anyone can operate a Kimball "Piano Player." You may talk about the fascination of ping-pong or golf, you may go into easytimes over all the in and out of door pastimes, but none of them can compare with the pleasure of personal rendition of the old masters' music, rag time or hymns, on a Kimball "Piano Player." You are cordially invited to drop in at 630 Walnut street and hear this "Piano Player." Daily demonstrations given freely. The great house of Kimball are now producing the music for this "Piano Player" at about the usual cost of good sheet music. ALBIA NOTES.

PAPERS SHOULD BE ELEVATING We are in receipt of an anonymous communication in which the writer says "papers should elevate the race"? Taure was also included a clipping from the Rystander's issue of May 16, and we suppose that those articles were obnoxious to the writer. One of our prominent ministers expressed his views about the actions of the Federation of Woman's Clubs and we expressed our views about the same subject. In that same issue we spoke of a young man who had won the light weight championship of the world and these articles were on the first page in separate column near each other. Inasmuch as the Rystander is not a religious paper we do not see why anyone should object to seeing articles so close to each other even if they do not contain a metaphor. Of course we do not know what the "friend"s' objections were, but supposed that the articles were to near each other. If he had signed his letter, we would have read his letter. In reading any periodical you will find that the news is diversified. Why can't the Rystander "do the same"? If the members of our race would work as hard to assist in increasing our circulation and advertisements and paying their adverts as they do to tell us our faults and how to connect a newspaper we would enlarge our paper and could arrange our news different. WASHINGTON AND BROWN AT THE UNIVERSITY This week is a great week for the colored race at Iowa City for Attorney S. Joe Brown an alumni and a graduate in the law department last June was called back this week to have the degree of M. A. conferred on him, the first colored man to ever receive such honor from the State University. Above we give our readers the picture of Mr. Brown. He is only about 28 years old and is now in partnership with Mr. Geo. H. Woodson with office in Muchakinock and Des Moines, Mr. Brown stays in the Des Moines office, Prof. Booker T. W. Washington was selected by the faculty of the commencement orientation. This also is the first time that an Iowa institution ever invited a man of color to deliver the commencement address. Thus you see that by patience and honesty we will be respected. This should be a grand lesson for every young colored girl or boy to go on and secure a good education. You may need it in after years and it will never come amiss. OUR EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY. The Iowa State Bystander with this issue begins its ninth year, having struggled from a small beginning eight years ago until now she does everything in our office with our own type and other paraphernalia, except the press work and folding and we cherish the hope to some day own our own pres and folders. Our paper now goes into the homes of nearly all the best colored families in Iowa. In fact it goes into many homes and many read it who are not subscribers. We go into 76 counties in Iowa, 31 states in the United States and three foreign countries. We have never missed an issue each week since we began, making a total of 461 issues during those many years we have tried to give our readers the news in a truthful manner. We have tried to do right and be honest with the public, avoiding church quarrels or petty discussions, for we think that the great mass of the public don't care anything about their neighbor. We want to be in church, but they want the general news pure and simple. That news that is elevating for our race and as the public know that the ever reliable Bystander is a fixture in Iowa the race can feel that there is one paper dedicated to the welfare of the whole race and will condemn the wrong and commend the right. Whenever seen subscribers and friends please assist us to do ever more for our common cause, namely the elevation and enlightenment of our race, for the editor is always busy with overcrowded duties, as his close friends well know. Yet without great laboration is no reward. 504.506.508 EAST LOCUST ST White Linon Waists Made of first quality percales—rightly shaped—attached or detached collars—three qualities, tomorrow 25c 36c 50c Sale Japanese Fans The Japs improve in their handiwork from year to year as Americans do.

Blade skates were introduced into England from Holland about 1660 and were seen in London in 1662. John Evelyn, the diarist, under the date Dec. 1 of that year, describes how "divers gentlemen performed before their majesties on the new canal in st. James' park, with sheets, after the manner of the Hollanders." But in 1642 Edinburgh started a skating club and was soon famous for its elegant skaters. In 1772 the first English book on "The Art of Skating" was published by Robert Jones. Though roller skates were employed in Holland in 1770, their heir was confined to that country until 1849, when they were introduced in a scene of Moyerbeer's "Prophete" at Paris.

McVey rendered a decision in the case of Muller, administrator, vs. the National Life Insurance company of Minnesota, which if sustained, would have vast importance to the insurance interests and those carrying life insurance, Muller, who was a chemist and lived in Valley Junction, committed suicide before his death he took out a policy for $5,000 on his life in the Federal Life Insurance company of Davenport. This policy, unlike most life insurance policies, violated the insurance company of liability in the event that the insured took his own life. Later the Federal went out of business and reinsured all its policies of the National contain a suicide clause. When Muller's administrator made application for payment of the policy, the insurance company refused to claim, claiming made a suicide clause. The administrator claimed that in reinsuring the business of the Federal, the National had placed itself in the position of the Federal and the insurance company to federal policy holders, and sued. The court held that by reinsurance the National could not escape the liability of the Federal, that it assumed all promises made by the insurance company be entered for the full amount of the policy. The Chicago and Northwestern Railroad company, through F. H. Reger of Denver, has commenced suit to secure title to lands in Sac County valued at about $60,000, having filed a claim against the government land office in this city. The railroad company claims title to the lands through a grant made to assist in the building of the Cedar River since acquired by the Northwestern. When the Northwestern, or Cedar Rapids road, was built, in the early sixties, it was given a grant of alternate road to assist in building the road. It was provided that. If the lands within the distance prescribed by the grant were not sufficient to fill out the land to assist in building the road, it could go beyond the limits of the grant and in the next nearest townships take lands there to fill out the allotment. Prior to the making of this claim, the government certain lands to the state and the state granted these lands, under the swamp land act, to the counties for the benefit of the permanent school district. That every tract of forty or more acres, 50 per cent of which was swamp land, should go to the counties. Sac county sold its grant to the Americas in dispute and which had been claimed by the railroad were in this conveyance. Later the American Emigrant company sold the land to settlers. The Northwestern said claims now that the claim of the present owners. The Emigrant company was not swamped within the meaning of the grant and that therefore, could not be conveyed and that its selection is prior to the claim of the present owners. The Emigrant company was not swamped within the meaning of Wall Lake, in the south part of Sac county. Governor Cummins has appointed H. P. Keyhoe of Otumwa as boat inspector for that district of the state. Mr. Keyhoe is president of the Union boat inspectors of Otumwa. The other boat inspectors have already been appointed. COUNCIL BLUFFS SCHEME. Des Moines, June 10—State Architect Liebbe has planned for the improvements at the Council Bluffs school for the deaf, to meet the requirements fixed by the board of executive. These have been sent to Council Bluffs and advertisements for bids will be published at once. The plans include a considerable change in the original idea of the board of control with reference to meeting the emergency count of the recent disastrous fire in this institution. It has been decided to reroof the dining hall which burned and to erect but one frame structure; it is planned to make dormitories of the brick structures already connected to the temporary structure contemplated serve for class rooms. The reroofed dining hall will furnish two stories of room and on the second floor can be located the office rooms etc. The first temporary house will make dormitory to be constructed, but it is now thought better, safer and more economical to make class rooms of these. An estimate on the cost of the work will be possible within a few days. The board has no plans for the building within the $2,500 offered for the institution by the executive council.

What Has Happened in Iowa During the Past Week. EPIDEMIC OF RABIES EXISTS State Veterinarian Views Prevalence of Rabies and Glanders with Alarm—Another Murder Occurs in Des Moines' Whitechapel. Des Moines, June 11.—State Veterinarian P. O. Koto views with alarm the prevalence of rabies and glanders over the state. He says, "We have seen that there has been as many calls on his profession nor near the number of serious cases. He is now in the city on his return from a tour of the state and tomorrow will go back to investigate a number of cases. The only death known to Dr. Koto taus this far this season was at Eilworth, the result of a hound wild and inoculating a number of other dogs and several persons. So sequestration has allowed all dogs have been ordered confined or muzzled for a period of thirty days. It is thought by that time the danger will be at an end. In all cases where people were bitten they have gone to the Pasteur institute. Chicago, for more feared that on one more death, will occur. Describing the danger of a spread of hydrophobia, Dr. Koto stated that it is nothing unusual for one inoculated dog to travel seven-five miles in a single night to his trail. Sometimes they will go a mile without attacking man or beast, and at another time will snap everything with which they come in contact. Another great benefit of hydrophobia is that may be bitten and the virus louse dormant for a week. month or even a year without serious injury and then break out as badly as though the infection had been before. This is because the polson had not reached a vein or blood channel leading to the brain, and until it does there is no injury. That is said to be the secret of the Pasteur treatment before it has reached that point. MURDERED BY RIVAL. For Love of a Woman in White White chanel. House.

Already he had begun to find love ta this long desolate heart for this pretty sister, and the thought of danger over taking her aroused his spleen. “Tell me what happened, brother," he muttered, “It was last night, I had succeeded in gaining an entrance to the city. bringing with me three carrier pigeons belonging to a man within our lines, and which were to take my messages in cipher to the general. “While wandering around, plektng up all the information possible, chance —no, It was a favor of Providence, threw me among a group of soldiers in one of the parks. “They had been drinking to drown the {mpending woe, and were In a con- aition far removed from the usually polite Frenchman, “Enough to say they stopped two women who came from the directios of the hospital—I heard a scream, an¢ forgot the danger I ran, for the voice ‘was that of Beatrix.” “How many were there?” “Some four or five.” “Excellent.

Meet me there at nine to-night, and together we will seek those in whose interests we are si deeply concerned.” “Done! At nine, you say?” ‘Yes; and now Tam about to mow off.

Totally ignorant of the exciting events which this night of nights had {in store for him, Paul sauntered in the direction of the little wolt's head drinking fountain that projected from the wall which he had agreed to as 4 rendezvous for meeting Karl, ‘As he drew near the drinking foun: tain he remembered that caution was fan absolutely necessary adjunct to hi mission. Keenly he surveyed each lounger in turn, Fortunately the two comrades had arranged a crude system of signaling based gomewhat upon the code in use during thelr days at old Heldelberg and by a cautious use of this Paul wa at last enabled to clutch the hand o his comrade, ‘All seemed working well He found Karl somewhat worries under the belief that he was being | watched. It might be Imagination, but he feared that suspicions had arisen re. garding Mis identity. “T bave news,” he sald, as thel hands were pressed together, “News—ot Hildegarde?” demanded Paul. “No. You know what we guessed was the reason for Conrad's beni here?” “Yes—a woman,” replied Paul quickly turning his bead to look over is shoulder, as though the mention of the countess might cause her tc ‘appear. “Well, she is in Metz, though I hone not within sound of my volce, and you may depend upon it just as much factor in the game as ever, I saw het come out of the hospital where your victim was belng nursed, and the loo} ‘on her face was worth studying.” “You give me a cold shiver, com rade, 1 fear no man alive, but heaven deliver me from such a woman, How: ever, let us dismiss her from ous thoughts. Tel me more about Hilde ‘They were now near their destina- tion, Apparently there was no susple- fous craft above the horlzon—at least Von Stettin gave mo Indication of serfous alarm. “The hospital!” he muttered. Paul came toa stand for a moment— who could blame him under the elr- cumstances? Although he halted to look In at the ‘onen door only a brief thme, It proved ‘& most unfortunate pleco of business for him, as subsequent events turned out, ‘A figure stood to one side, perhaps walting until the wounded soidless hat all been carried Into the house of merey—a figure screened by the shad- ows that fell on that side of the great bullding, observed Paul's action and only with dificulty repressed a ery of satisfaction when the light fell upon his face. For although the figuro and aress of the watcher seemeg to belong to a dandy French captain, ‘the counte- hance was surely that of the bold ad- venturess, the Countess Ainiee. Karl awaited his friend at the ad- Joining door. “Are you ready?” he asked, solemnly. "Go on," Paul sald, shortly. ‘The door opened and they passed 1n. Up the stairs—now a light appeared above, comtag from an open door. “Karl, is it you?” asked a gint’s volee, whereupon the individual de- clared it to be no other. ‘When Paul saw the loverlike mect- Ing of the two young people he knew it wag all right, and that the chances were his friend would never agalu wish to challenge any one because of Jealously. ‘And how startled the pretty girl was when she discovered a second figure ascending—how quickly she sprang away from Karl and uttered an ex- ciamation. Perhaps it was more on account of her fears for Karl's safety, within the French lines on such a perilous: mis- sion, than mere maidenly modesty, that made her ery out: “Beatrix!” he ealted, “Sister, have you then forgotten ‘Then a glad ery broke from her lips and Beatrix gladly greeted the new- comer with all the warmth the dearest brother could expect. “You do not kuow—ob! Paul, how shall I tell you the truth—how wil you bear it?” she said, in a weak al most panic-atricken yolee. “Ah! But I do know it, my dearest irl. “About—our—mother?™” eagerly. “Yes.” “Oh!

His words, his maaner aroused her wildest hopes. “You forgive—you forget—you will eve her even as I do. Ob! God, this ig blessed news—I thank thee for this happy hour. Oh! how glad 1 am that sae has lived to know this blessod hour.” She took her brother's hand and 16d aim into the lighted room. He saw a black-robed figure rise saw a pale face, with tender, sad and haunting eyes—heard a low cry as her gaze fell upon him and she started to stretch ,out her arms, but they fel helpless at her side. Tt was all to his credit as a man that he did not stop one second, but walked directly over to where she stood, now holding on to the tack cx the ‘chalr through weakness. “My mother!” he said, but his very volce was a caress. ‘hen he took her quivering form In his arms and gently kissed her. ‘At that she gave way. ‘The fountains broke forth, thous the wonder was they bad not run dry in the long years of ner weeping. She clung to him as she sobbed, and hhe pressed her head to his heart as ono might a grieved child. Paul had placed his mother upon a aivan and seated himself beside her. It was necessary that they speak of the past. ‘That could never be a sealed book with them. She hung upon his every word, and there were thes when she moaned ike a stricken deer as he spoke of his father’s uncomplaining life and the manner jn wh{eh he held aloof trom the whole world to conceal his grief.

Perhaps that same fate in which Karl profeseed to entertain some. be- Het, had a hand In the game, which was one of the reasons why the young couple sat so long in the deep embra- sure of the window, since had it not been for this, Karl might not_ have thought to peep almlessly down to- ward the street.

For instance, the Manx people belleve that it will dwarf or wizen a baby i any one steps over it or walks round it, In some parts of England people bind the infant's right hand, so that it may have riches when {t grows up. In Yorkshire a new-born babe is placed In a maiden’s arms before being touch- ed by anyone else, In order to insure good luck. In South America a book, a plece of money and a bottle of liquor are placed before the infant the day it is one year ol, to ascertain its bent in life, In Scotland a baby Is considered lucky if ft handles its spoon with its left hand, and it wil be perfectly hap: py and suceessfulful if it has a number of falls before its first birthday. In the North of England, when a child is taken from a house for the first tlme it 1s given an egg, some salt and a small loaf of bread, and occasionally a small pleco of money, to insure I against coming to want.

All Bitterness Seems to Have Been ‘Wnuk Ook Pretoria, June 13.—In all 10,225 ‘Boers have ‘surrendered up. to date. Many are youngsters of 11 years aii upwards. ‘The majority of them are under 30, though some of the Burghers who have surrendered are septuge- arians. Reports from all the districts say that the Burghers are increasingly friendly. ‘The only bitterness obsery- able among the leading Boers here is against France and Germany. They declare the war was protracted unnec. essarily owing to hopes held out by the French and German press. Some Of the Boers are so incensed that they have expressed the hope that some day they will get_ on. the side of Britain against one of these powers, The an- tetpated friction between the surrend- ered Boers and their former comrades of the national scouts has not mater Snllzed to any extent. General DeWet says the youngsters were his best fighters and frequently held positions after the older Burghers had cleared ont. ‘The Boers of the Orange River colo- ny are handing in only -a_small per centage of thelr ammunition. ‘They explain that they used most of it hunt: ing game since the peace agreement was signed. ‘Addressing the surrendered Boers at Kronstadt, Orange River colony, Gen- eral Biliott sald the only wish of King Edward, the government and the Brit: ish people was to help the Burghers and get them back to their farms as Soon as possible. ‘The king, the gen: eral added, had telegraphed ‘congratn lations to the Burehers__on, the good stand they had made. - This announce: ment was greeted with lusty cheers for the king and for Lord Kitchener. ‘The theatrical manager who has a full house should win out.

Now One Lawyer Keeps the Judge From clearing There is said to be a lawyer in Philadelphia who possesses a trick of the voice to which a certain measure of his success in United States Supreme court practice is due. The trick consists in waking a judge. Whether it is a common practice for the high dignitaries of the federal supreme bench to indulge in a nap in the course of a long and tedious argument, such happenings are not unknown, and it is well for an able logician of the bar to be prepared for it. The trick of waking a sleepy judge would seem to be something in the nature of slamming a law book under his nose or connecting his personality with the current of an electric battery. But the trick is explained as purely a matter of sound involved in the skillful control of the voice. It is said that a barrister practiced in the bench can rhetorize of addressing the bench can gather all the waves of sound from his throat into a focus and deposit it in the orifice of the judge's ear with the general effect of a bomb. The trick, however it is accomplished, is said to have been worked repeatedly with success on the late Judge McKennan, whose habit of going to sleep on the bench was once a notorious subject of comment in the litigation over the Berliner telephone patients. This queer trick of the voice, while it is said to be the peculiar property of one celebrated lawyer, is probably attempted with varying success by others—Philadelphia Record.

LITERARY NOTES E. Nebit's new story, which will be published in the autumn, will have the uoer title, "The Wouldbegoods." S. R. Crockett's new book, "Love Idylla" will be published soon. It will be uniform in size with "An Englishwoman's Love Letters." Maurice Thompson's "Alice of Old Vincennes" is to be published in Great Britain, as is also "The Story of Eva," the Chicago novel by Will Payke. Few persons are aware, even in England, that a privately printed collection of unpublished writings from the pen of Robert Louis Stevenson is about to be issued. In Dr. Minot J. S-vage's new book, "The Passing and the Permanent in Religion," the author tries to make clear the great positive elements of religion which cannot pass away. Henry James was recently told that Sarah Grand, the novelist, says she was 14 years old before she ever learned to read or write. "She hasn't learned to write even yet," he remarked. Edmund Gosse is about to become a publisher. His first venture will be a collection of the poems of his friend Austin Dobson which have been written since July, 1899, when the last edition of his collected poems was published. The new book will contain about thirty pieces, among them being poems on the war and on the late queen. Mr. Gosse intends to charge $3.20 for each copy. A new book on "Modern Strategy," which is said to be a work of importance, will be published soon. It is the work of Capt. Walter H. James of the British army. It is a treatise on the strategy of today and deals with the effect which railroads and telegraphs and the increase of newspapers have had on war. The campaigns chosen to illustrate it are chiefly taken from the Napoleonic wars and those of recent times. At the end of the book a chapter has been added on the effect of modern weapons upon tactics. BOONE AND RETURN Via Chicago & North-Western Ry. Special train will leave Des Moines at 8:0 a.m. m.
