At the meeting of the Iowa Baptist association at Corinthian Baptist church Rev. W. H. Minor a native of west central Africa and a member of the Mokando tribe, was the principal speaker. He told his audience about the customs and habits of the natives from among whom he came and his desire to return to preach the gospel to them. Thirteen years ago he left his home with the consent of his father to accompany a German merchant home in order to learn better the methods of trade followed by the white people. The theory was that he would become efficient and proficient and better serve his tribe on account of this education. Mr. Minor did not like the country and was advised in Germany to come to the United States, which he did. He landed at New York City when Mr. Moody was at work in that city. Dr. Moody advised him to go to Tuskegee institute, which he did. He remained there eight years. He took a course in blacksmithing, agriculture and cabinet making. In the mean time he studied math. He then went to Chicago and entered the Moody institute for bible training. Finishing this course he now desires to return to Africa to instruct his benighted brethren. At this session Rev. W. D. Sims and Rev. J. W. Crushshon assisted. In the evening a reception was tendered to the visiting ministers at the church, which was crowd- to its utmost capacity. Atty. S. Joe Brown was toast master. Ae made a good master. Those who spoke were J. B. Rush, Dr. A. G. Edwards, H. R. Wright and J. L. Thompson. Mrs. Wm. Buckner recited and W. H. Warricks and Geo. Mason sang beautiful solos.

The curious custom of "telling the bees" is observed in some parts of nearly every country in the world. Those who observe the custom always go to the beehives and tap gently on each one, then stoop and whisper under the cap or lid that Mary, Jane, Thomas or William is dead. This is done to keep the little honey makers from forsaking their place of abode should they have to wait and find out the news of the calamity themselves. The custom is alluded to in Whittier poem "Telling the Bees."

This is to hinder any Moslems who might wish to hear of Christianity from coming under the missionary's influence. Telling the Bess. No.15. The latest surgical triumph is the grafting of a new set of upper and lower eyelids to the eye of a man who lost his original set in a fire. The accident had left both eyeballs entirely unprotected, and there was danger of the victim losing his sight entirely. It was resolved to replace them by grafting four new eyelids if possible, by taking the skin from the hip of the patient. It was necessary to proceed slowly, but the experiment was successful from the start. The four new eyelids perform their normal functions naturally. A Natural Bromeliad There was long ago, on the shore of the Adriatic sea, a stronghold known as Dusinio, on the highest town of Dusinio there was an anemometer that was used as a means of telling when a storm was approaching in summer. A soldier was always stationed near the rod when the sea had a threatening look, and it was his duty to frequently put the iron point of his javelin close to the rod, watching for the spark that would tell him it was to warn the fishermen by ringing a big bell. A. Bad Estimate. The spirits of a young man were considerably dampened on a recent Sunday evening while he was out walking with a young lady. The evening was rather cool, and the girl was very lightly clothed, so, thinking to add to her comfort, the young man took off his coat and placed it about her shoulders. As they walked along he kept thinking of his gallantry, liking himself to d'Aragann, Sir Walter Raleigh and various other cavaliers, until he heard a passing woman say to her companion: "H'm. That's all we're good for—to have men hang their coats and hats on us." A Diplomatic Effort. At a diplomatic reception in London recently the wife of the Chinese ambassador was, upon her arrival, gravely ushered into the cloak room reserved for gentlemen. The mistake is easily accounted for, because Chinese women of rank do not, as a rule, attend public functions in London. Moreover, her feet were of normal size, she belonging to a castle which allows the foot bandages to be discarded. Her dress was, of course, slightly different from that worn by Chinamen, but apparently not sufficiently so to enlighten the attendants as to her sex. Mahogany and White Pins. Mangoghy and White Pine. For twenty-nine years not a stick of old San Domingo mahogany has been obtainable, according to a local dealer in antique furniture, and, on the authority of one of our leading Bath lumbermen, there is not in all Maine a good sized white pine tree standing. The San Domingo mahogany is all scrub trees and the Maine pine is scrub pine. The old-fashioned pine trees which made the fame of Maine were probably all of them from 300 to 400 years in obtaining their growth. This is the reason, or one reason, why old furniture, made of the woods available a century ago are so much in demand, and why it commands its high prices. Modern mahogany is much lighter than in the old pieces and no longer comes from San Domingo. As for the old-time pine, it is now out of the market. Bath Times. USE OF CAVALRY IN WAR. Military Authorities Agree on Value of This Arm. All military authorities on the continent are of one mind as to the immense advantage which will accrue to the power which, at the outset of a war, can most quickly place in the field a superior force of efficient mounted troops. One result of this belief is the extreme care with which each of the great military powers of the continent watches the strength and distribution of the cavalry of its neighbors. At the present moment some disquietude exists in the Triple Alliance, because the cavalry of the Double Alliance has become superior, numerically, to their own. In the event of war, France could place in the field 327 squadrons and Russia 711; or the two allies together 1,033 squadrons, while the Triple Alliance could only muster 746 squadrons, or 292 squadrons less than the Double Alliance. NEW USE FOR ELECTRICITY. Entire Restaurant Service Supplied In a Novel Manner. Nigara Falls has a restaurant in which the service is supplied by electricity, and the description as given in the Great Round World is very interesting: "The scheme was installed in the restaurant at a cost of about 500,000 by a natural food company. There are 500 tables. Five hundred little electric cars serve the dinner to each table in a silent and satisfactory manner. Each table is equipped with an electric car, a menu and a small desk. Lying on each desk is an order pad. The guest fills out the order and places it on the car. When a button is pressed the electric servant gides away to the kitchen. After the meal is prepared, the car comes flying back with the dinner aboard. By means of a mechanical arrangement on the bottom of the cars, each throws its own switch and leaves the main track for the hundreds of other trains. The entire restaurant is run by one young man at a switchboard. It would almost seem as if the test servant problem might be solved by Nigara Falls and the lighting." IOWA STATE BYSTANDER.

NO REDRESS IN THE LAW Attorney General Mullan Says Act Is Not Opposed to Public Policy in a Sense that Would Enable the State to Prevent the Transaction. De Moins Sept. 18.—According to Attorney General Mullan the state of Iowa is completely powerless to prevent the reorganization scheme of the Rock Island. The acts of the new Iowa corporation, the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific Railroad company, recently formed in this state with a capital of $125,000,000, he holds not outside of the powers conferred by statute. Nor are they opposed, he declares, to the public policy of the state in a sense that will enable the state to prevent the transaction or maintain an action of quo warrants for the dissolution of the corporate franchise. While one may be personally opposed to the policy of the state in permitting corporations to issue their stocks and bonds for the purchase of property in amounts in excess of the actual value of such property, say, the attorney general in his opinion, the question is one that must be referred to the legislature rather than the courts. The effect of the opinion is to bring to an end further investigation by the governor of the Rock Island's plan of procedure. The governor will, in the result that may flow from the inquiry set on foot last month by Governor Cummins will be to call the attention of the legislature to the weaknesses of the Iowa law, in affording shelter to such incorporations as the state legislature may impose and probably to bring about more stringent legislation. Governor Cummins devoted a large share of yesterday to an examination of the opinion of the attorney general; the governor of the state Mullan had construed the law correctly. Asked for a statement, he said: "I have carefully examined the opinion of the attorney general and I concur in the opinion under the law as it now is, the state of Iowa cannot prevent the consumption of the plan described in my letter to the attorney general and in that letter the thing done is neither a merger nor a consolidation. Not a mile of track nor a dollar in value is added to the Rock Island property. It is similar to a new device for watering securities." "It is for the next general assembly to say whether it is wise to permit our property to remain that such things are possible." Governor Cummins on satisfying himself there was nothing more to be done to prevent the reorganization scheme, made public the opinion of Attorney General Mullan and also his son, William. The opinion he rendered. The letter of the governor is an interesting document, as it sums up what may be called his indictment against the reorganization plan. He takes the ground it is a grave movement against public policy and he recounts the different steps in his investigation of the securities as he has learned them through his investigations.

Abrams was elected to his old position of state superintendent. The other officers chosen were: President, L. S. Coffin; first vice-president, F. S. Dunshue; third vice-president, Mr. Riley; secretary, M. R. Sawyer; treasurer, A. K. Campbell; superintendent, H. H. Abrams; executive committee, H. H. Abrams; shouse, A. K. Campbell, I. N.

The resolutions reiterated the advocacy upon the part of the league of absolute prohibition of the manufacture and sale of intoxicants, the united efforts of all having the welfare of the temperance cause at heart, asked that the next legislature place a limit of two years on the much petition and expressed the gratitude of the league for the success of the petition presented to them, containing the requisite number of names, adopted a resolution to submit to the voters of the county at the next general election, a proposition of $50,000 for building a new court house. The resolutions reads as follows: "Shall the board of supervisors of Audubon county build and equip a new court house in Audubon, Iowa, and to equip the court house in Audubon, Iowa, the same shall the board issue bonds to the amount of $5,000 payable not sooner than five years, nor later than twenty years, and shall the board make a levy to pay some time and the present levy, commencing in 1803 and continuing each year until the bonds are paid?"

Largest and Longest Procession Line Ever Seen in Iowa. Des Moines, Sept. 18.—Odd Fellows who were at Indianapolis last year declare that the parade in Des Moines yesterday equalled the one in 1901 in almost every particular and excelled it in many features. It took eight-five minutes for the procession to pass the city hall and it was estimated that there were from 8,000 to 12,000 in the line. Had the parade been organized so that the participants had marched in parade formation instead of so that it would have hated three times as long and been more impressive. But as it was it was the finest parade ever seen in this city, excepting the one at the reunion of the veterans of the army, it was well imitated from beginning to end. The five miles of rope stretched along the streets of the line of march enabled the authorities to control the crowds admirably. There were no accidents, but brief delays here and it satisfied the 100,000 people who saw it. The number in the Indianapolis parade was grossly exaggerated in the opinion of many of the grand lodge representatives who have attended the parade. They declare that if there were 15,000 in line yesterday here there could not have been more than half the 30,000 claimed for Indianapolis. For instance there were twice as many of the uniforms were in the parade of a year ago. And the remark was made often that the number of subordinate lodges and the number of Odd Fellows in their ranks greatly exceed the number at Indianapolis. The parade parade given in Des Moines in recent years, and as a spectacle it far surpassed anything ever seen on the Des Moines streets. The showing made by the Patriarcha Militant was the feature of the long parade. The parade parade lodges was the notable feature from the view point of the order. MRS. GALLAGHER INDICTED. Grand Jury Returned Bill Against Holada. Iowa City, Sept. 18—Mrs. James Gallagher of River Junction was indicted on the charge of murdering her husband. The grand jury also brought in an indictment against her alleged lover, Charles Holada. The latter had been in jail since the day following the murder. She herself up readily and appeared before Judge Wade with a plea of not guilty. Holada entered the same plea. Both were remanded to the custody of Sheriff Hof Holada. The court question, but the woman prayed the court to grant her bail. Inasmuch as the laws of Iowa make murder in the first degree a non-ballistic crime, except under unusual circumstances, the court ruled that Mrs. Gallagher went back to jail. The indictment charges Mrs. Gallagher and her alleged parramour with joint discharging the 22-caller rife against the 1995 indictment of Galagher's head the night of June 20 as he slept beside his children. The state has hold heretofore that Mrs. Gallagher is innocent of Holocaust crimes. The investigations of the grand jury, the state now alleges, prove that the employee, friend and neocentric of the Holocaust perpetrator, Galagher's faith in her husband, then won her love and finally, as the fruitage of agility liaison, both planned and both executed the horrible crime. The indictment also will accuse that he was the woman's parramour, but he will aver that she alone committed the murder. Former Senator Ranck, who is defending Holocaust, praised Mrs. Gallagher's charge the widow with the commission of the deed. The trial will probably begin Monday. HENDERSON LETERMINED Under No Circumstances Will He Reconsider. Dubuque, Sept. 18.—There is no dearth of applications for the high position that Speaker Henderson has thrown aside. There are many, among them being Courtight and Pickett, both of Waterloo. A valuable talk of calling a convention and go through the process of renominating Colonel Henderson as an endorsement, but if it was done Mr. Henderson would not accept. Early yesterday morning telegrams be poured in from all parts of the country because the speaker to reconsider his action. Among those received were messages from the president, Senator Allison, all the members of the national congressional committee, Senator Foraker and Senator McCain, all the intention to cancel its engagement to speak at the Waterloo meeting, but Henderson wired back not to do so, but keep his engagement. It is needless to say that the deepest part of the bueque over this unlooked for action on the part of Colonel Henderson. Speaker Henderson is as positive to day in his decimation of the congressional day, notwithstanding the flood of telegrams from all parts of the country protesting against his decision and imploring him to reconsider the same. The telegrams he received by Speaker Henderson from the president: "Oyster Bay, Sept. 17, 1902—Most earnestly ask you to determine your determination not to run." "Theodore Roosevelt."

De Leonis, Sept. 19—Governor Cummins has offered three hundred dollars reward for the apprehension of William Numley, colored, who escaped from the jail at Denison a few days ago.

GEORGE RATHBORNE. author of *Miss Paulette, or New York: "The Spider's Web."* "Miss Caprice," etc., etc. Copyright, 1900. Street and Smith, New York. CHAPTER XL Merrick Entertainals. To the man who moodily watched part of this very interesting billing and cooling from a safe distance, walking to and fro and grinding his teeth as he apostrophized the lovers to the neighboring palms and yucca plants, doubtless the minutes seemed long drawn out, each section of which stabbed him to the heart again and strange that a man who had the social world of Paris at his feet after his return from brilliant achievements in African wills should fall down and worship a demure little foreign girl whom he had known in "the bush"; but who can account for the vagaries of love or the mad freaks of Cupid. The night was growing mild, and it was far from safe to remain out of doors much longer. Besides Mark had been in a way keeping track of time, and knew the hour of probation must be nearly up. "We must go in," he said, with a huge sigh. It meant turning back from heaven into purgatory—from Elysian fields into Hades, where all the evil passions of men surged and fought for the glitter of that baule gold. More, very gravely and earnest, as became a man of his nature, and then took her to the guardian colonel; after which he drew himself together for the severe engagement that was to mark the second night's desperate assault upon the ramparts of the dragon. The various games were at their height when Merrick passed the swinging doors leading to the palatial parlors where Fortune was baited through the long hours. No crowd approaching this had made an appearance as yet this season, and we would have been supremely happy over the generous outpouring of golden coins, save for a simple fact that had a depressing effect upon their spirits. If the redoubtable Jones could win in so remarkable a manner one night, following a system, what was to prevent his guerrilla raid upon their treasury at any time he pleased? The prospect was alarming. Hence, they kept one or two upon the doors, and his advent on the scene was marked by what could be called an ovation. Would never have known it from his countenance, however, which was perfectly immobile. The American evidently had the power of repressing his feelings to a wonderful extent, and such men must of necessity be particularly strong in nerve. Jones seemed in no hurry for play. He was biding his time. He lingered awhile back of the princess, who was flushed with small winnings; and then a little later found himself just in the rear of Strombolio, the big, fair-haired Cossack, now engaged in a low but careful man, whose shifting eyes gave one the impression that he was a character fit for treason, stratagem and spoils. Perhaps Jones caught a few stray sentences of the eager conversation between the Russian and his dark-faced companion, for something like a grim smile fitted atthwart his countenance as he pushed further on. Sometimes a word may give points in a game that are of incalculable value. Any rate, with so shrewd a customer as Jones it was a dangerous business. Even a philosopher may have his suspicions of mankind, and engage in a battle against evil; and while this Yankee was doubtless honest in his desire to benefit humanity by killing the dreadful dragon of gambling as practiced so enormously at Monte Carlo, still he might also have other fish to fry. When Jones saw Merrick enter he knew the time was close at hand for being caught. No one noticed him. Jones was making his first stake the other end of the table, while ten score of eyes feverishly fastened upon him. Jones was. So did Merrick, of course, but few knew the fact, since it was the victor of the preceding night who claimed their attention. A thrill went around the room—men and women began to crowd to that point, and as if by magic all noses ceased save those connected with the various gangs. The older shaded no visible sign of excitement, but his keen eyes watched every deliberate movement of Jones, for it was a crisis in the history of the great resort—if the scene of the previous night was to be repeated, alas for the future of Monte Carlo. He won a second time. Intense excitement held every one spellbound, and it began to look as though the doom of gay Monte Carlo was written upon the wall. That the unexpected happened. Jones felt. A great wave of astonishment went over the thong, tunges were loosened again, and their clatter after so long a spell of silence was dreadful. One man was quite unmoved, even when the grim crouper smiled sardonically. This was Jones. He made another stake as coolly as before, with a rouleau of gold covered the full limit on a single number, and again won. Confidence in Jones, which had been scattered by his break, just as a fire light, when fire dried, returned again. Again he lost. Confusion! Way, the man after all, was playing a hit-and-miss game, just like the rest of them. Many of them breathed a great sigh of relief, f. r. with Monte Carlo smashed their desire to live would have been reduced to zero. About this time attention began to be directed to the other end of the table. The croupler's rake shoyed little pilots of filthy lucre in that quarter with astonishing regularity, and seldom dragged any back. Another Richmond in the field! The statement burst out greater than ever. And Merrick played on with just the faintest sign of a smile upon his resolute face, played on and won four times where he lost only once. Jones had managed to reach the elbow of his friend—no one else, even royalty itself, could have had a passage opened to him through the densely packed audience, but they seemed to recognize a superior being in Jones, the master wizard of it all, and that he had a right to be near his comrade. No Merrick the experience was one he would never in all his life forget—it its novelty alone was enough to stamp it indelibly on his mind. Between deals, he occasionally looked up calmly and the faces along the table were not the blur one might reasonably expect under the circumstances, with his heart beating like a trip hammer, and his mind devoted to following the line of play marked down in Larragh's brilliant system. A few more moves must complete the play for this night. Realizing that they were up against the strongest arrogance the man had ever fallen upon Carlo, the dealers were not at all anxious to continue playing indefinitely. The sooner they admitted the grave fact that a third time the famous bank must cry quits, the better for them. Merrick had done well. Not a single slip or mistake had been made. There was but a unanimous opinion among the nerve-racked spectators that these two men really had the power to be bought off, if they could be bought off, the future of Moule Carlo was assured, since despairing players would take new lease of life in the knowledge that after all it was possible to eternally win if one but knew the wonderful plan by which each carefully arranged move was to be made. The scenes of the previous night were repeated, though upon a larger scale. On the dealer stood and raised his hand to announce that the bank had again gone under, a deathly silence hung over the dense crowd. Then one man, a big voiced American congressman, who had been haunting the dragon's den for a month or more, against the prayers of his pretty little wife, threw his silk hat into it and excitedly, jumped on it when it handed and cooled out: "Hurrar for Jones—he pays the freight!" It would be next to impossible to adequately describe the scene that followed. Shouts and laughter and stentorian cheers rent the air, while pandemonium reigned—men shook hands, others fell into the arms of friends, and the man deflated dead away. Few left the place. The hour was still early, for the play had been unusually bold and vigorous. Another chapter had been closed in Jones' account book, another page turned; but he seemed the same afable, mild-mannered gentleman, not to be affected by flattery or threats. Merrick heaved a genuine sigh of relief as the culmination of his play occurred. The dreadful strain had told upon him, of course, and now that it had fallen aside he experienced a momentary weakness, which he speedily shook off. He had seen Constance just a short time before—surely the colonel had waited to witness the rout of the enemy, horse, foot and artillery. They could be doing doubtless, listening to the music or playing a lamenter among the palms and exults of the garden. So Mark set about a search. He had been watched. Numerous eyes were fastened upon him as a bird well worth plucking. Perhaps there were sanguine hopes that he might prove a more profitable subject than had Jones with his two cuffs covered with mysterious hieroglyphics, utterly unintelligible to the average person, for it was reasonable to believe he carried the system somewhere about his person. He would depart, indeed, he allowed *elegas at each a desire*, but moved hither and you with the air of a man quite well satisfied with his surroundings. Perhaps, as an artist hovers near his picture on the line, to hear comment favorable or otherwise, the hero of this memorable and dramatic smash of Monte Carlo's bank was desirous of discovering how the habitus of the Casino considered the prospect, and thus feeding his philanthropical soul with the thought of the great good he was doing. He was different. When a man of his character discovers an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, he seldom falls to take advantage of it. He was in his element—a fortune he must have, whether it came through means of an enchanted dossier, allowing him at his will to demand heavy tribute from the funds the Prince of Monaco annually received as his legal share of Monte Carlo's fortune, certain glorious dazzling mounds in South Africa of which we have heard more or less. As a usual thing, when Count Leon made up his mind with regard to a certain object, it was as good as accomplished. The true, the cute Yankee had gotten the better of him with regard to the secret dossier business, but Villebels managed the population to catch the droppings. Besides, that deal could hardly be coiled closed, so long as a single chance remained. He reasoned, with apparent sagacity that since Merrick had taken hold personally on this night, he must have one packet in his possession. Hence, if Mark could only be entrapped, the papers might yet be secured. Of course he would be on his guard, remembering the fate of Darragh, who had been so neatly kjdapned on a former occasion, when somewhat similar conditions prevailed. Merrick was unconscious of his danger. He seemed to believe that since he had in his own mind washed his hands of Jones great plan for the redemption of mankind from the fils brought about by this mad desire to gamble, he was no longer an object of interest to outside parties. He would be long be rudely aroused from this dream of fancied security. Fortunately, Jones was there to have an eye out for breakers-Jones, who was not madly in love with little Miss Millons, and could therefore keep his wits about him. Mark, having won the sweet confession of love from the lips of Constance, might fondly delude himself with the idea that his vessel had survived the storm and reached a safe harbor. Alas! many a gallant ship has gone on the rockes at the very entrance of the harbor, and the cruel waves have swept the forms of those beloved to the very foot of sweethearts and wives waiting upon the strand. So no man can call himself actually seated in him within the port of matrimony, since "there is many a slip 'twit cup and lip." Merrick had passed through many experiences, but there were a few more things for him to learn. Not finding Constance about the Casino, he sauntered into the gardens. Fairy bowers, they certainly were, and because adversity had struck the bank for two nights in succession it was no reason why the myriads of colored lights should glow less vivid, or the endless profusion of flowers cease to exhale delightful perfume. Many people wandered about in certain favorite paths, laughing and chatting, while the music came in half-duffer notes from the Casino. There were some places apparently deserted. Perhaps the cool wind from the sea penetrated these points more keenly than at others; or else there might have been an absence of such pleasant surroundings in the shape of flowers and benches inviting rest, as the more fashioned faces of housewives. Merick began to cast his eye about for a form beloved, one glimpse of which would appeal to him—indeed, like most lovers, he believed it possible to know whether his sweetheart were near from the peculiar magnetic influence her presence would have upon him. (To be continued.) BURNS MONEY ON DEATHBED. South Carolina Man Determined No One Should Buffle Dice Down One Should Profit by His Decase. According to the citizens of the adjoining county the meantest man that ever lived died recently in Union county, South Carolina. His name was not too much for him, at any rate he failed to live up to it. There were so many little Angels that when he came, the names having been quite exhausted, his mother called him Starling. Even in childhood Starling Angel was avaricious. At seventy, old and decrepit for his years, he sold the comfortable home and plantation, including the stock on the place, for the sum of thirty thousand dollars. He then moved into a rude log hat and for the few remaining years of his life lived there alone without shelter before his death he took from its place of concealment the money, built a large fire and bill by bill consigned to the flames the whole of the thirty thousand dollars. He was found dead in his bed, and the charred bills on the hearth told the story of the man who had wowed the man being should profit by his death. KING SEEKS A MALE HEIR. Menelek of South Africa Has No Son to Take Throne. King Menelek in Darkest Africa is having his troubles in finding a successor. A resident of Cairo writes as follows: "Letters arriving here from Adis-Abeida state that the Emperor Menelek will shortly preside at an assembly of exceptional importance of the great nobles of Abyssinia. All the high vassals of the empire have been summoned. "Menelek and his Empress have no son, and the Negus having reached an age which renders it imperative that the succession to the throne should be finally settled, this grave question will be answered by the king. "Among those attending will be Ras Waldegorgia, the Emperor's nephew; Ras Makonnen, Governor of the Galla country; Ras Arousis Tessama, Governor of the Western provinces; Ras Magutchka Apkane, Governor of Godam, and Ras Michael." Gen. Isaac Khan, Minister Plenipotentiary from Persia to the United States, is decidedly cosmopolitan in his habits and tastes. Even among his servants at the legation several countries are represented. His husband is a Persian, but the assailant is a Britishman. One day the Minister happened to overhear a conversation between the Irishman and a tradesman. "Not at all, at all," replied the butler's assistant, "but Ol make them think Ol do." "Is that so?" "It is so," he went on. "They think Ol know the Persian gibberish and that Ol've thraveled in their country, but the fact is, Ol've never been to South America in all my life"—Saturday evening Post.

Collick, Ind., Sept. 16—Mr. W. A. Terry of this place suffered for months with a very severe case of Kidney Trouble. He was so very bad that he was almost confined to his bed for three weeks. He tried many medicines but he could not get any relief till he commenced to use a remedy introduced here some time ago as a cure for Kidney Trouble, the name of which is Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr. Terry says that the second day after commencing to use this remedy he could notice a very marked improvement in his condition and in a short time he was able to go about again. He is naturally filled with gratitude to Dodd's Kidney Pills for the immense amount of good they have done him and says: "I would recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills to every sufferer from kidney. I would trouble for them my experience I am sure they are the best medicine to be had for all diseases of this nature."

FEELS IS UNJUSTLY TREATED Finding That His Views in Respect to Treatment of Trusts Are Not in Accord With Many of Party in Iowa, He Feels It His Duty to Decline. Dubuque, Sept. 17.—Speaker Henderson, finding that his views in respect to the treatment of trusts by reducing the tariff in whole or in part, are not in accord with the views of many of his party in Iowa, yesterday declined to accept the nomination for congress, and has withdrawn from the party. The following was addressed to C. E. Albrook, chairman of the notification committee, Eldora, in. by Mr. Henderson; "My Dear Sir: I have never answered the kind notice communicated by you and your associates advising me of my nomination for the eleventh candidate of election as the republican candidate of congressional district of Iowa. Reported conditions in the public mind in my district upon public policies, induced me to make the delay. Since my return to the district I have made a careful study as to the sentiment in the public mind. There is no little sentiment, and a growing sentiment, among republicans, that I do not truly represent their views on the tariff question. Believing this condition to exist and knowing that I do not agree with many of my views, I have been opposed, can be cured, or the people benefited by free trade, in whole or in part. I must decline to ac [Name] SPEAKER DAVID B. HENDERSON. pept the nomination so generously and enthusiastically made. I have devoted twenty of the best years of my life to the service of my people and my country and I have fought for what I believed to be the best for the farmer, the service of the farmer, the service interests of this district and state. "I am grateful for the devotion that has ever been accorded me and to the hour of my death I will hold in a grateful heart the memory of that devotion. I will give, later on, in some circumstances, the conditions and on public questions and will state my reasons why the republican party and its policies should continue in the confidence of the voters of the United States, and why the doctrines of the democracy should find no lodgment in the faith of the republican party. Very truly, yours. Dubuque, Sept. 17.—The announcement that Speaker Henderson had withdrawn from the congressional race in this district came upon the people of this city something like a Mont Pelée eruption. At first it was treated incredulously and regarded as a fake, but just before the Evening Globe-Journal went to press the following announcement was brought to the speaker's secretary, Lee McNeele. "Mr. Speaker Henderson, finding that his views in respect to the treatment of trusts by reducing the tariff in whole or in part are not in accord. John W. Mackey once invited Robert G. Ingersoll to visit the Comstock mine to help the furnace heat at the bottom of the shaft of one of the mines.

The announcement was brought in by the senator at a late hour. Prominent publics of this city labored with the speaker all day to have him foreign his resolution, but without avail. Last evening many of his democratic friends interviewed him for the same purpose, but Mr. Henderson had said that he would change his purpose. It was not fear of defeat, he said, that influenced him. There was no question of his election by a big majority, but the colonel felt that he had not been treated fairly by institutions and accusations had been made against him that were not just. In an interview last evening he had In an interview last evening he had very little to say. He has learned that his successor has led aiculous life in the past few years, and he is going to have a chance for a rest which he says he will fully enjoy. As to what the party will do to nominate his successor is not yet determined, he will be called, but whether the old delegates will meet or another set be required is not at present known. It is needless to say that the republicans will be taken to a court, deeply regret this action on the part of Colonel Henderson, and fear it will be taken up by the democrats with a false interpretation placed upon him. Speaker Henderson announced his withdrawal after a conference of several hours' duration with Chairman Glasser, of the congressional committee and another, that speaker Henderson had been contemplating this action for two weeks, but had intimated nothing of it to his friends until yesterday. At yesterday's conference his friends implored him to speak to the president. He said he had made up his mind, and no argument could cause him to change his decision. INSAND PATIENTS PAROLED. One Hundred Released by Board of Control. Des Molles, Sept. 17.—The state board of control has since July 25 paroled sixty-one insane patients, ox 10 tended the parole to thirty others, discharged nine patients and one unimproved. This makes a total of ninety-nine patients that have been sent out from the four hospitals of the state during the past six weeks, discharged as cured, a record of which the board has not at hand. These figures were given out by the board yesterday to illustrate the favor with which the parole system and the liberality with which they exercise this power. There are 165 insane patients out of which 100 are in the parole system. Each patient who is involved gives ninety days in which to demonstrate his fitness for mingling at large among the public. If the report made in the parole system is tendered. There are about 2,200 patients altogether in the insane hospitals, or were on September 1, and the number is fast increasing, despite the fact that much as possible by the parole system. Yesterday the board received the first report on the new hospital for librarians at Mount Pleasant. The report covers the month of August from the first to the last day of the month, and it includes patients there. During the month thirty-six were received and two died, making a total of forty-eight men and one woman on the last day of the month. This makes the average number incarcerated during the month about one per cent. This rate it would have to follow to fill the set apart in the Mount Pleasant hospital for these patients.

The lady proved kerselt efficient in the work of which she has charge, and her leisure on the work of the school was listened to with great pleasure. The Age of this city has the following to say of the lady and her work: Friday evening at the A. M. E. church on Third street, Mrs. Grace Allen of Burlington, delivered a lecture, her subject being "What the Negro Youth of the Northwest can accomplish With an Industrial Education." The lecture was highly interesting and was eagerly listened to by a good sized audience. Mrs. Allen is the superintendent of the Allen Industrial school located at Burlington. The object of the school is to educate the Negro youth and the policy and methods of instruction of the college are modeled after Booker Washington's famous Tuskegee Institute. The school at Burlington was founded last April and at present has an enrollment of thirty-nine students. Some of the most influential citizens white and coloured, are on the board of trustees. The boys at the institute are taught manual training and the girls receive instructions in the arts of the housewife. A splendid feature of the school is that each attendant partly pays for the cost of educating himself, the remainder being derived from a fund established by friends. Taking into consideration the short time of existence of the Allen institute, rapid progress has been made. At last evening's lecture much enthusiasm was manifested by the members of the A. M. E. church in the undertaking of Mrs. M. E. church in the undertaking of Mrs. Rev. W. A. Searcy delivered his farewell address to his congregation on Sunday evening, preparatory to leaving for the annual conference, which convenes this week in Oakaloosa.

Wm. Giles arrived home Friday from Mt. Pleasant, Ohio, where he was summoned on account of the serious illness of his father. He reports him as much improved and on the road to recovery. Rev. Searcy left Tuesday night for Oakaloosa to be in attendance at the annual conference.

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 art and rhetoric of addressing the bench can gather all the waves of sound from his throat into a fount 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 little satire over the Berlin telephone patrol. This quarer trick of the voice which it is said to be the peculiar prop of and celebrated lawyer, and which ```markdown ``` CLINTON ITEMS. AN INTERESTING LECTURE.

From Kentucky comes the solution of the problem, "How Shall I Avoid Loss of Time While Ill?" A Mr. Filson, a farmer residing near Eminence, in that state, was bedfast of a fever. Upon him depended the support of a large family. Sickness in his case was worse than a luxury; it was a sin. To overcome the loss of labor as much as possible his good wife collected all the eggs on the farm, borrowed as many as she could from the neighbors, and tucked them carefully about her feverish husband. Then she resumed the concocting of gruels and awaited developments. Results justified the experiment. The husband was as good as a hen. His fever having no ague complications, he did not shake and crack the eggs, but now there is a large brood of spring broilers going to the market from that little home. Furthermore, Mr. Filson's health is restored. He not only comes of his nest convalescent, but he has no financial loss or worry to occupy his mind and throw him into a relapse.

John Philip Sonn sat listening the other evening to the history of the pier, now called the Steeplechase, on which he is playing his Atlantic City engagement. Among other things he was told of the fuss that resulted when the authorities there fined a manager for giving a Sunday performance two years ago, although Sunday is the day when the crowd of visitors and amusement seekers is the largest. "Iincidents of the kind," said Sonn. "always recall to me the story of a little country girl who, very early one Monday morning, took a basket of freshly picked, dew-glistening raspberries to her family's minister. He was delighted, and said so; but he added, doubly: "Er—I hope you didn't pick them yesterday—the Sabbath—my child?" KNEW HE HAD A GOOD TIME. "Down in Tennessee one day," said Senator Carmack of that state. "I met a person whom I knew slightly, and who was of convivial habits. He had all the symptoms of a 'left-over.' In fact, as he came down the street he had so close a resemblance to a man who had surely been imbibing the previous night that I stopped and said to him: "Did you have a good time last night?" "I did,' he chirped, with a cheerful grin. 'I had a magnificent time. It's a funny thing, though, Senator, 'he added confidentially, 'I was out all night, and yet I can't remember a single thing that occurred after nine o'clock.'" "You can't?' I said. 'Then how on earth do you know that you had a magnificent time?' "Because,' he explained, 'I heard the policeman telling the judge about it in the morning.'" Vegetation on Rome's Monuments. The monuments of Rome are now under observation, not only by foreigners, but by the Italian government. It has been discovered that parasitic plants grow at the top most of the Roman monuments. At the top of the white marble column in the center of the Piazza di Santa Maria Maggiore there was till a few days ago a thriving plant of a wild fig tree. It was beginning to eat away one of the topmost ornaments of the column. But it has now been removed. Twelve figs were found on the plant. The monument is now under repair. The affair has caused quite a little futter and the Piazza has been crowded with people to watch the uprooting process. This column is the only one left of Constantine's first church in Rome. Accurate Delay. Many stories are told of the lack of punctuality upon railroads in the southern states. It is said that when a New England man found his train, advertised to leave at 11 o'clock, starting at exactly that hour, he complimented the conductor. "Just on time, I see," he said, generally. "All this talk I've heard of the lateness of your trains is without foundation, I've no doubt." The conductor smiled at him gently. "This train, sir," said he, without a trace of embarrassment, "is not to day's eleven o'clock train, sir. It is yesterday's eleven o'clock. To-day's will probably not get here from 'way down until to-morrow, sir.' Wanted a Change. When the Rev. Thomas K. Beecher, pastor of the Park church, Elmira, died the difficult problem of filling his place confronted the trustees of the church. The choice finally settled upon the Rev. Annie Ford Eastman, one of the few women who have made a success of the calling. An enthusiastic admirer took a friend of his to hear Mrs. Eastman several Sundays ago. At the conclusion of the sermon the friend was asked how he liked it. The sermon was all right," was the reply, "but I hear a woman preach six days in the week, and on the seventh I prefer to hear a man." A Strange Coincidence. Three events occurred recently at the same moment in one house in Washing, near Vienna. These events were a baptism, a wedding and a funeral. While the family of the deceased, an iron molder, Albert Hruzek, were bemoaning their loss, Anton Schutz, a young carpenter, and his bride, were celebrating their wedding in the rooms beneath them, and at the same time the Chihak family, who occupied rooms in the basement, were all arrayed in holiday attire in honor of their infant, Gabriel, who was being baptized. Church Laws of Olden Times. The Bethel Primitive Methodist chapel at Burney, Lancashire, recently observed an important anniversary, and issued a souvenir hand book containing copies of old records. A minute passed in 1834 reads: "That we do not allow young men and young women to walk in the street together arm in arm at any time; neither do we allow them to stand at street corners chatting together." By another resolution the chapel authorities forbade girl choristers wearing bows in their bonnets. Magnetic Sand Bar in Norway The fiction of the mysterious lodestone mountain which drew the nails out of ships that approached near enough has a certain foundation in fact, says a French paper, only the fact has suffered expansion. On the coast of Norway, near Joerlem, there is a sand dune of nearly three-quarters of a mile in length. The sand is mixed with particles of lodestone, and when a ship comes in the vicinity the company becomes irregular and the vessel is entangled in a kind of whirlpool and thrown ashore.
