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. A diet of goats' milk and daily exercise on the mountains of Arizona curved Robert Williams of consumptive nutrition form when he went to Arizona, two years ago.

He eats the meat, but ate plentifully of vegetables. A new word has been added to the language since wireless telegraphy has come into use. It is 'marcoul' and refers to wireless telegraphy. 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.

Rowen immediately after he had committed the bloody deed went into the woman's house, 838 Pelton avenue, to wash the tell-tale blotches of blood from his hands, and was arrested by Chief Brackett and a detail of officers just as he was leaving the room. He was taken to the city jail but later was taken to the county jail. It seems that the quarrel began in the house. Rowen says that Linn started the trouble and that he, Rowen, left the house intending to make his escape, but at Linn followed him and attacked him with a knife stabbing him in the rear of the left leg. He says that he then turned upon Linn, and, wrestling the weapon from him, defended himself.

"Down on the other side of the Rite Grande," says a returned traveler, "the best cuts of Mexican beef are better than the worst." I first went to Mexico I ordered a tenderloin at a hotel in Durango, but I couldn't cut it to save my neck. I told the waiter it wouldn't do, and he returned, accompanied by the proprietor of the hotel, and laid the platter on the table. "What's the matter with the steak?" the hotel in Durango asked. "Tough," said my friend. "I hardly stick a fork into it, much less a knife." My host flopped it over with the flat of the knife, and eyed it durango. "Well, I should be the best in the house. At any rate, I can't take it back—it's bent." When the Japanese steamship Hongkong Maru neared San Francisco, a fortnight ago, on its return from the Orient, its last night at sea was spent in the shipyard and the Golden Gate. The little steamer Eureka from Kahului was in the same foy-bank. The Eureka has a bale litter built for battles, and the crew had a dodged about under a slow bell, fearful of being run into and crushed by the craft with the deep-throated whistle, and with Captain Filmer saw what he had been dodging, he tied down the Kongkong's whistle cord and under the shelter of the liner's defiant blast, told the captain that little boats that carried big whistles.

For twenty years his wife has been an invalid with a complication of diseases. Neuralgia. Rheumatism and generally broken down constitution. Mr. Catterson had done everything that loving care could suggest, but in vain—his wife only grew worse. Recently, however, he heard of Dodd's kidney Pills and determined to give them a trial, and was overjoyed at the splendid result. From the very beginning of the treatment she commenced to improve till she is nearly well and Mr. Catterson rejoicing. He says: "Nothing ever did her so much good. We will always praise Dodd's Kidney Pills for the good work they have done for us." Car No. 13 on the street railroad of St. Joseph, Mo. had to be taken off by the company.

At the Wolf's Head Drinking Fountain. Even at the risk of being noticed by hostile eyes, Paul turned his head so that he might look into his companion's face. "I see you, too, have met with an adventure, Karl," he muttered, once more scanning his paper, although the French words danced up and down before his eyes. "Perhaps one could hardly call it by such a name, when compared with your double exploit," modestly. "But perhaps you can guess she is here in Metz." "Beatrix, my sister?" "Yes; and not alone. A nun accompanies her. I myself have seen her, and under conditions little short of tragic." Paul breathed hard. Already he had begun to find love in his long decadent heart for this pretty sister, and the thought of danger overtaking her aroused his spleen. working of Providence, and to my mind there is something more than a mere coincidence in this thing. "I we were now near their destination. Apparently there was no suspicious craft above the horizon—at least Von Stettner gave no indication of serious alarm. "The hospital!" he muttered. Paul came to a stand for a moment—who could blame him under the circumstances? He hailed to look in at the open door only a brief time, it proved a most unfortunate piece of business for him, as subsequent events turned out. A figure stood to one side, perhaps waiting until the wounded sodilers had all been carried into the house of mercy—a figure screened by the shadows that fell on that side of the great building, observed Paul's action and with difficulty repressed a cry of satisfaction when the light fell upon his face. For although the figure and dress "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, to take me my messages in cipher to the general. "While wandering around, picking 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 impending woe, and were in a condition far removed from the usually polite Frenchman. "They say they stopped two women who came from the direction of the hospital—I heard a scream, and forgot the danger I ran, for the voice was that of Beatrix." "How many were there?" "Some four or five." "Excellent. And you put them to flight alone and unaided?" "Yes; and Beatrix was horrified at disregarding me, but I believe, pleased to know that it was to a German arm she was indebted for the rescue." "What of—her companion?" "She thanked me most sweetly. You remember what your mother looked like when as a child you saw her last. She is still the same, with a face purified by suffering. I fear she is not long for this world. Her incessant labors in the field she has chosen have undermined her health. It may come back, but the chances are she will present slip away from you all. We will give Paul a shock, and he immediately resolved that he would seize the very first available opportunity to make his peace with the poor lady whose life history had been so sad. "I must see her." "When would you care to seek her?" "Soon. This evening, if it is possible." Karl considered. "Do you know the wolf's head fountain, down by the high wall yonder?" "I drank there not an hour ago." "It is well. Meet me there at nine to night, and together we will seek those in whose interests we are so deeply concerned. Who can you say?" "Yes; and now I am about to move off. Remember." Paul counted the minutes until nightfall. A great yearning had come upon him to see his mother and reassure her that forgiveness had come at last—to take her weary form in his many arms and look into the eyes that had weep and many tears of bitter regret fully ignorant of the exciting events which this night of nights had in store for him, Paul sauntered in the direction of the little wolf's head drinking fountain that projected from the wall which he had agreed to as a rendezvous for meeting Karl. As he drew near the drinking fountain he remembered that caution was an absolutely necessary adjunct to his mission. Keenly he surveyed each louder in turn. Fortunately the two comrades had arranged a crude system of signalling, based somewhat upon the code in use during their days at old Heldeberg, and by a cautious use of this Paul was at a comfortable to clutch the hand of his comrade. All seemed working well. He found Karl somewhat worried under the belief that he was being watched. It might be imagination, but he feared that suspicions had arisen regarding his identity. "I have news," he said, as their hands were pressed together. "News—of Hildegarde?" demanded Paul. "No. You know what we guessed was the reason for Conrad's being here? "Yes—a woman," replied Paul, quickly turning his head to look over his shoulder, as though the mention of the countess might cause her to appear. "Well, she is in Metz, though I hope and shall sound of my voice, and you may depend upon it just as much a factor in the game as ever. I saw her come out of the hospital where your victim was being nursed, and the look on her face was worth studying." "You give me a cold shirt, comrade. I fear no man alive, but heaven deliver me from such a woman. However, let us dismiss her from our thoughts. Tel me more about Hildegarde. Such a subject will take the bad taste from my mouth." "Well, I have seen the young woman again and you may even have that pleasure to night." "Simply because we are going to a house that adjoins the Red Cross hospital, where she is engaged in her holy labor." "That is singular indeed." "It may be more are we are through. You know I am a firm believer in the "Beatrix, my sister?" Paul breathed hard "I must see her." Karl considered. working of Providence, and to my mind there is something more than a mere coincidence in this thing.” They were now near their destination. Apparently there was no suspicious craft above the horizon—at least Von Stetting gave no indication of the “hospital!” he muttered. Paul came to a stand for a moment—who could blame him under the circumstances? Although he halted to look in at the open door only a brief time, it proved a most unfortunate piece of business for him, as subsequent events turned out. A figure stood to one side, perhaps waiting until the wounded soldiers had all been carried into the house of mercy—a figure screened by the shadows that fell on that side of the great building, observed Paul's action and only with difficulty repressed a cry of satisfaction when the light fell upon his face. For although the figure and dress of the watcher seemed to belong to a man of the same circumstance was surely that of the hold adventures, the Countess Almée. Karl awaited his friend at the adjoining door. "Are you ready?" he asked, solemnly. "Go on," Paul sald. shortly. The door opened and they passed in. Up the stairs—now a light appeared from an open door. "Karl, is it you?" asked a girl's voice, whereupon the individual declared it to be no other. When Paul saw the loverlike meeting of the two young people he knew it was all right, and that the chances were his friend would never again wish to challenge any one because of jealousy. When she started the pretty girl was when she discovered a second figure ascending—how quickly she sprang away from Karl and uttered an examination. Perhaps it was more on account of her fears for Karl's safety, within the French lines on such a perilous mission, than mere maidenly modesty, that made her cry out: "Beatrix" he called. "Sister, have you then forgotten me?" Then a glad cry broke from her lips, and Beatrix gladly greeted the newcomer with all the warmth the dearest brother could expect. "You not know—oh' Paul, how she tell you the truth—how will you bear it?" she said, in a weak almost panic-striken voice, "Ah! But I do know it, my dearest girl. "About—our—mother?" eagerly, "Yes." "Oh Paul, how is it in your heart—do you hate her still—she has suffered so." "Our mother," he said, softly, tenderly. His words, his manner aroused his wildest hopes. "You forgive—you forget—you will love her even as I do. Oh! God, this is blessed news—I thank thee for this happy hour. Oh! how glad I am that she has lived to know this blessed house." She took her brother's hand and led him into the lighted room. He saw a black-robed figure rise, saw a pale face, with tender, sad and naunting eyes—heard a low cry as her gaze fell upon him and she started to stretch, out her arms, but they fell helpless at her side. It 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 the tack of the chain through weakness. "My mother!" he said, but his very voice was a cares. Then he took her quivering form in his arms and gently kissed her. At that she gave way. The fountains broke forth, though the wonder was they had not run dry in the long years of her weeping. She clung to him as she sobbed, and he pressed her head to his heart as one might a grieved book. Paul had placed his mother upon a divan and seated himself beside her. It was necessary that they speak of the past. The could never be a sealed book with them. She hung upon his every word, and there were times when she moaned like a stricken deer as he spoke of his father's uncomplaining life and the manner in which he held aloof from the whole world to conceal his grief. But when it was all told, and he had again assured her that nothing but love dwelt in his heart, what a look of sadness upon the world. How she strained him to her heart, this great boy, she could hardly believe belonged to her, the fair child of former years. Meanwhile Karl and Beatrix had wandered over to one of the windows, set deep in the walls, and forming admirable lovers' seats. Perhaps that same fate in which Karl professed to entertain some belief, had a hand in the game, which was one of the reasons why the young couple sat so long in the deep embrace of the window, since had it not been for this, Karl might not have seen him peacefully alown toward the stairs. Beatrix saw him bend still lower, while the laugh left his face and a look of deen concern took its place. "Oh, what is it, Karl?" she cried, as a heavy, thunderous report shook the house. "That is only another shell exploding near by. Our friends beyond the walls have evidently discovered the bomb inside the city, and there will be grave damage done ere morning. But it was not that which startled me, but a movement of French soldiers in the street below. I have grave reason to believe they are surrounding this house, and that would mean danger, perhaps death, to Paul." Beatrix crled out in terror, and even Paul was constrained to show alarm, not on his own account so much as because of this friend who had his life in the balance. You must get out of this instantly—go by the roof if there is no other way; he exclaimed, ready as ever to grapple with the scorching emergency, "it is too late!" gritted Karl, sullied. You too, late for the clatter of boots sounded in the hall without, the door was unceremoniously opened by a hand that believed in military law above the civil code, and several soldiers pushed into the room, soldiers wearing the uniform of the National Guard and led by a pompous major, behind whom strutred a figure that instantly gave Paul's attention, filling him with both amazement and alarm. EOUGHT BY ARMENIAN BLOOD. Railway Concessions of the Sultan (s Kingatey) Worship Requirement Recently the Germans obtained a concession for constructing a railway to Bagdad, the Russians a concession for railways into the basin of the Black sea and the French to Damascus. When Asia Minor is covered by a broad network of railways it will be relieved from the present metachannel condition of decay in which the Turkish regime maintains it and will become as formerly a paradise of civilization. And this phenomenon, which will be among the most beautiful of the twentieth century, will be due to the bloodshed of the Armenians. These concessions which the sultan has accrued for the only time the massacres of Armenia which he pays to Europe. What will be the attitude of Europe toward the Armenian people when it penetrates into the Ottoman empire to reorganize and to regenerate it? asks Areng Tofchianan in the International Monthly. Will its locomotives pass over the dying bodies of the people and will the Armenians be garrisoned, or will Europe remember, perhaps all sufferings which this unfortunate people has endured on account of its ideas (which are those of Europe) and afford it the elementary liberties which it desires to obtain in order to take up once more its task as a good laborer and a valiant soldier in the cause of civilization? I am led to believe that to this question, which the Armenian people have been the roars of a martyrdom too cruel and too prolonged, the response of Europe will be the response of justice. SUPERSTITIONS ABOUT BABIES No Part of the World Is Free from Queer Notion. Lately some extraordinary superstitions about babies have come to light. For instance, the Manx people believe that it will dwarl or wizen a baby if 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 it grows up. In Yorkshire a new-born babe is placed in a maiden's arms before being touched by anyone else, in order to insure good luck. In South America a book, a piece of money and a bottle of liquor are placed before the infant the day it is one year old, to ascertain its bent in life. In England a babe is considered lucky if it handles it with its left hand, and it will be perfectly happy and successful 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 time, it is given an egg, some salt and a small loaf of bread, and occasionally a small piece of money, to insure it against coming to want. In Germany it is considered necessary that a child should "go up" before it goes down in the world, so it is carried upstairs as soon as born. In case there is no upstairs the nurse mounts a table or chair with the in- Corporation Clothes Without doubt the coronation of King Edward VII, will be the most costly and elaborate "full dress" affair that has occurred in modern times. But King Edward will not be permitted to look upon such a wonderful display of costumes as greeted the eye of his distinguished predecessor, Edward III. This beau of the fourteenth century was a spectacle that must have added greatly to the gayety of nations. He wore long pointed shoes, fastened to his knee by gold or silver chains, hose of one color on one leg, and another color on the other; a coat, the one-half white and the other half black or blue; a long silk hood, buttoned under his chin, embroidered with grotesque figures of animals and dancing men. Cempleousable Mothers There are many conscientious fathers and mothers who make themselves and their children miserable by taking youthful foibles too seriously. It is an innate propensity of a child possessed of the average good health and spirits to make older people laugh with him; not at him, but at the things that seem amusing to his own sense. And the mother who has the blithe and ready humor to enter into his fun becomes his most fascinating companion. He heeds her rebuches and bends to her correction without ill feeling because she is not a fool, and Ire, for he is assured that she is ready to share all his innocent pranks, and that her disapproval has no foundation in imutience or unjustice. Easily Swept. "I don't quite know what the lady meant," says an elderly physician, "but whatever it was, she meant it hard. She came to my office last Tuesday, and after considering her case, I wrote a prescription, which was to be put in capsules of very large size. I explained the why and whereof of this to her and asked her if she could swallow anything so big. She looked at me in an acidulous way. "Swallow it!" she said. "Why, my husband belongs to two whist clubs and more lodges than you could count. Swallow it! Humm! I reckon I haven't been married ten years without learning to swallow bigger things than that!" GEN. WOOD PAID FOR INFLUENCE Senator Teller Shows Voucher For a Large Sum Before Committee. RECEIVED BY MR. THURBER President of Exporters' Association Got the Money—Military Governor of Cuba Employed Him to Secure Assistance in Legislation. Washington, June 11.—F. B. Thurber, president of the Exporters' association, the witness who has been wanted by the committee on Cuban relations, was before the committee yesterday. Senator Teller produced a copy of the voucher for $2,880 showing that that sum had been paid by the military government of Cuba by authority of Cov Wood to the United States Export association of which Thurber is president. Thurber acknowledged that he had received the amount and said it was one of three payments he had received from the same source. The receipt was dated April 2, 1902, and states that it was for "advocating a reduction in the duties on Cuban products with a reciprocal reduction of Cuban products going into Cuba." The witness said he thought $20,000 worth of literature had been circulated. He said he had received a contribution of $2,500 from Mr. Havener of the sugar reining company when he solicited that gentleman for a subscotion. In response to questions by Senator Teller, Mr. Thurber said he had been active in the effort to secure reciprocity with the United States to Washington originally at the instance of the Export association and also of the Cubans, who were favoring reciprocity. He was not, he said, active in the effort to receive the attention, but he admitted that he received a percentage on the fees for membership in the association influenced by him. The witness said he had circulated a large number of circulars in the interest of a reduction of the duty on Cuban sugar and he submitted speeches to the Senate. Being by Senator Teller who paid the expense incident to the circulation of this literature, the witness replied that the Cuban literature committee had paid the fee for the materials he was been in the employ of the Cuban government for some time in the fall and summer of 1901. In reply to questions Mr. Thurber said he had money referred to above had all come through the Cuban committee, but Senator Teller insisted that the voucher which he had produced could not have emanated from the Cuban government. Mr. Thurber then said that all was done through an understanding that the Export association should do all the work necessary to proper basis. He denied, however, that the money was paid on a verbal order from General Wood given while the latter was in the United States. He said that he would phrase, "Leaders of thought," in his bill to the Cuban government, Mr. Thurber said that he had a list of 8,000 people in the United States who literature was sent. In reply to a question by Mr. Teller as to whether he had consulted Mr. Havenemyer, of the sugar trust, in the United States, to whom this literature was sent. Mr. Thurber said: "After making my argument before the ways and means committee I told Mr. Havenemyer that I had been asked if I was representing him and asked him for a subscription. He check toward meeting our expenses." Senator Culverbon of Texas, today introduced the following resolution: "We are so concerned that we can be, and he is hereby requested, to send to the senate a full, itemized statement of all monies collected and disbursed by the authorities of the United States in Cuba from the military occupations." Senator Flatt of Conn., objected to present consultation and the resolution. 10.225 BOERS SUBRENDER All Bitterness Seems to Have Been Wined. Out. Pretoria, June 13—In all 10,225 Boers have surrendered up to date. Many are youngsters of 11 years and upwards. The majority of them are the ones that have surrendered or who have surrendered are septu-narians. Reports from all the districts say that the Burgers are increasingly friendly. The only bitterness observ- ed by the Boers against France and Germany. They declare the war was protracted unnecessarily owing to hopes held out by the French and German press. Some Boers have expressed the hope that some day they will get on the side of Britain against one of these powers. The anticipated friction between the surrendered Boers and their former comrade has not materialized to any extent. General DeWet says the youngsters were his best fighters and frequently held positions after the older Burgers left. The Boers of the Orange River colony are handing in only a small percentage of their ammunition. They explain that they used most of it hunting game since the peace agreement Addressing the surrendered Boers at Kronstadt, Orange River colony, General Ellott said the only wish of King Edward, the government and the British people was to help the Burgers as much as possible as soon as possible. The king, the general added, telegraphed congratulations to the Burgers on the good stand they had made. This announcement was greeted with lusty cheers for the king and for Lord Kitchener. The theatrical manager who has a full house should win out. A man's sane moments are those when he realizes that he is a lot of chlus shy. Barnum Elephant is Killed. Tours, France, June 13—A crowd of about 3,000 persons witnessed the execution at midnight in the city park of the largest of Barnum and Bailey's performing elephants. While on the way to the railway station the animal was tortured, and tried to kill its keeper and had to be killed immediately. Two hundred men tugged at the rope which strangled the elephant.

She Suffered for Years and Felt Her Case Was Hope- less—Cured by Perun. Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1317 West 83rd St., Minneapolis, Minn., as follows: "I suffered for years with a pain in the thigh, but it was right and right else. It interfereed often with my domestic and social duties and I never supposed that I would be cured, as the doctor medicated me. I was continually a member of our Order advised me to try Poruna and gave it such high praise that I decided to try it. Although it felt much better in a week that I felt encouraged. "I took it faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that I am entirely cured. Words to express my gratitude to health once more, and the best thing I can do now, and thanks to Peruna enjoy that now," -Minute E. McAllister. The great popularity of Peruna as a catarron remedy has tempted many people to imitate Peruna. A great many so-called catarron remedies and catarral tonics are to be found in many drugstores. These remedies can be produced by the druggist himself, but Peruna can only be obtained as a uniform price, and no druggist can get it a cent cheaper. Thus it is that druggists are tempted to substitute the cheap imitations of Peruna for Peruna. It is done every day without a doubt.

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.

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.
