Mrs. Wilkinson is indeed a beautiful woman and one of the leading ladies we have in Des Molines. A little church in Pennsylvania recently celebrated the one thousand million minutes since Christ's coming to earth. In an article on "Pierpont Morgan, His Advisor and His Organizati n." John Brian Walker mentions that Mr. Rockefeller is popularly supposed to control one thousand million dollars, and that one thousand million dollars would represent the labor of ten thousand men since Christ's coming to earth, calculated at the average scale of wages paid during the past two thousand years. In the same number of the Cosmopolitan, a very interesting calculation is made as to what the one thousand millions could accomplish in the hands of a thoroughly ambitious man. The Misses Graze Harding and Bessie Woodward arranged a surprise party for Wesley Fields last Tuesday night. The latter went down to the Union depot that evening about 8 o'clock with Wm. Harding, and when he retrained home there was a number of his friends there to greet him. The evening was spent in dancing and social convention. Referections were also served.

DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, JANUARY16, 1903. EDITORIALS. THE APPOINTMENT OF DR. W. D. CRUM. It seems that each week there comes something good that President Roosevelt has done for our race, that it may look like flattery to write about him each week, but there has been two recent announcements that occurs to us does call fourth our strongest and best words of admiration and appreciation, namely: The appointment of Dr. Crum to be Collector of Port at Charlestown, S.C., against the protestation of the white prejudiced people of that state, and for his firm stand by Mrs. Cox in the Indianola, Miss., postoffice affair, and compelled those citizens to keep her or do without a postoffice. He would not yield to their prejudiced whims, he would not deviate, he would not stultify that true high regard for his duty and the obligation that he assumed when he took the oath to be president of all the people of the United States of America. Those are the real men that our race should with one accord support, defend and protect, and even die for if need be. Each generation has but few such men, yet those few brave men that dare to do right will shine out more resplendant each year, like Wendell Phillips, Chas. Sumner, Wm. Lord Garrison, Oliver P. Lovejoy, Lincoln, Garfield and Roosevelt. Mr. President, so long as you are president do your full, honest and loyal duty, and the true noble loyal people, both North and South will praise you. Let qualification, honesty, integrity, pure manhood be the test and not the color, race or creed. FREELESS AND INDEPENDENCE. The Chicago Record-Herald is a conspicuous example of the success with which the public rewards fearless nonpartisanship in the columns of a great metropolitan daily paper. It is an independent newspaper, in which men and measures are invariably viewed wholly from the standpoint of the public good and not from that of the interests of any particular political party. It is the very reverse of neutral—fearless and outspoken on all the great questions of the day, but presenting its editorial opinion upon independent judgment and entirely regardless of political affiliations. Partisanship is barred as strictly from the news columns as from the editorial page. All political news is given without partisan coloring, thus enabling the reader to form correct conclusions for himself. In the ordinary partisan newspaper political news is ordinarily colored to such an extent as to make it difficult if not impossible for the reader to secure a sound basis for intelligent judgment.

Nickerson who came to this city about Oct. 26 under the auspices of the Antoch Baptist church and began preaching a plain gospel in very practical and common sense way. He put the medicine where the wounds were worse touching upon the sins of the people and created very surreal sensation among the better thinking class of citizens. Many of the Lord's children who had gotten back from duty responded to the truth and were restored to members in the church. The church was much revived and baptised quite a number that were converted during the meetings. The results of the revival can be observed now much better than it could at the close of the meeting.

Mrs. Cox Will Return and Re-open the Postoffice, and will be Protected. SENATOR McLAURIN ANXIOUS TO HAVE PAPERS IN CASE SUP-PRESSED. Washington, D. C., Jan. 11.—The Indiana (iss.) postoffice will probably be reopened by the colored postmistress this week. Senator McLaurin of Mississippi expects to receive assurances tomorrow from the mayor of the town and the sheriff of the county that they will return to Indiana. Mrs. Cox and make her return to Indiana, although if these officers give the Postmaster General such assurances, he will direct an inspector to look up Mrs. Cox's hiding place and persuade her to return and reopen the office. Senator Mc Lairn, believes the trouble will be settled, but this is he only way it can be settled. President Roosevelt and Postmaster General Payne are determined to stand by Federal offenders and protect them so far as the government can. They are not trying to force a negofficial upon the people of Indiana, to protect a Federal officer who has held the office for years without complaint. White Democrat Wanted Office. President Roosevelt had no part in the selection of Mrs. Cox as postmasters of Indiana. He knew nothing about the case until the business-partner of the mayor of Indiana concluded that since the republican administration to office in other parts of the state as a gold democrat, would begin a campaign to drive the negro postmasters out of town and then secure the appointment to her office. The papers in the case show that this was the origin of the dissatisfaction with Mrs. Cox. A white democrat and his friends got up a public meeting the petition requesting Mrs. Cox to resign. Postmaster General Payne has offered to lay all the papers in the case before congress or a committee of either senate or house, but southern member will call for the Senator McLennan, who is the man. Payne is very anxious that they must not be made public, to reveal the true character of the campaign made against Mrs. McLennan to end the trouble by having the hopes of the women give assurances of protection for Mrs. Cox in reopening the postoffice. Negroes Given Office in North. The southern people have been making a great aid over the Indiana afair and over the nomination of Dr. Crum, a negro, as customs collector at Charleston, S. C. They complain that the president is forcing negroes upon the whites of the south and ask why he does not appoint negroes in the north. They complain that more negroes are appointed to good federal offices in the north than in the south. Lest week a negro was appointed assistant United States attorney in Boston and another to the same position in Philadelphia. The southern papers have not mentioned these applications, nor have the white position of Boston and Philadelphia complained. There are not as many negroes holding federal offices in Mississippi, counting fourth class postmasters, as there are negroes holding local offices, such as justices of the peace, to which they are entitled. The whole cry against the appointment of negroes by the president is for political effect. The president's declaration that he would appoint the best men to offices without regard to politics when he named Governor Jones of Alabama to the vice presidency, courage to strive for these places just as they would under a democratic administration. They assume that any kind of a white man is better than the best negro. Measures Men by Mert. There is where they misunderstood the assignment. He measures men by their attentions, and not by the color of their skin. He appointed Dr. Crum collector at Charleston because he was the bear man recommended. White men were recommended, but they were not nor of as high standing even at home as was this negro. The president refused he Dr. Crum simply because he is a negro. The president has made his position clear that he will not refuse to appoint a man to office because he is black. He intends to stand by that position, because he regards it as the only position a president can hold and be true to his oath of office. He has no desire to offend the sensitive white people of Charleston, and he surrendering this principle of equality before the law to meet their prejudiced views of the negro question.

Christian, through the malls, yesterday. The keys and papers came in two separate envelopes, without word of writing inside, and were post marked Creston, Iowa, January 13, being Tuesday of this week. The envelopes were not addressed by Richards himself, but by his wife, being sent, however, under the Richards fraud on office keys. The envelopes were the return of Richards' official effects by his wife lead the officers more firmly to the conclusion that Richards will not return for several weeks and that his family know of his exact whereabouts and has been in contact by Richards to return his possessions. Richards either left his keys and unserved federal papers at his home in Creston before leaving that town, last Friday, knowing that he would be sent to the army to deal with the effects, or else he has heard of the charge against him and the warrant for his arrest and has forwarded the effects from wherever he is to his wife at Creston, his home. The fed. district attorney, holding that Richards left Creston on a long chase and left his effect, behind him, and his wife has decided to forward them to the marshal, so that no official business will suffer from his arrest. Richards' former chief, Marsha, George Christian, persists in believing Richards innocent of any connection with the Sullivan hold-up at Hamilton on January 2. The marshal now has a warrant for the two partners of Baird, the Creston convict who was wounded in the Hamilton hold-up. RICHARD8 AFTER CARNES Missing Deputy Thought to Be Hunting Murderer of Sheriff Strain. Council Bluffs, Jan. 14. — It leaked, out here yesterday that several days ago the officials were informed on good authority that Ed Carnes, murderer of Sheriff Strain of Monona, had passed through this city on a wrong way. He visited several days in this and Mills counties visiting relatives and friends. Yesterday it was asserted by those who are supposed to have some knowledge of the murder of the States Marshal Richards is in the vicinity of St. Joseph, Mo., making a thorough search for his man, and although he knew of the charges which have been brought against him the man he will not make his whereabouts known till he catches the man or his search becomes fruitless. Friends of the missing man - here are still in complicity in the Hamilton affair or not. The assertion that he has been a temperate man and has never been known to gamble or become entangled with women is taken with a grain of salt. Too, who allege those three things to have been his particular weakness.

The writer warns the lawyers to look for a person with her goo and says the people lived long enough after the attorneys if the latter do not want perjurers and faithless wives defended. He concludes with a declaration that there are still "White Caps" in lawsuits against him after the attorneys if the latter do not. Mrs. Holbert is considerably agitated over the threatening missive, but her husband, who is a 6-foot athlete laughs at it, and says he will be ready with a Gating gun for all comers at the dead of night.

Des Moines, Jan. 12.—A warrant is out for the arrest of W. A. Richards, until December last deputy United States marshal, charging him with the crime of robbery. It is in the hands of Sheriff Bybee of Marion county and was issued on an information charging Richards with complicity in the sensational robbery of Attrick and Sullivan of Marion town of Hamilton on the night of January 1. The news of the issuance of a war warrant for the arrest of Richards or this charge was a surprise and a shock to the few people who were acquainted with the war effort and peace officers, who for years have been associated with Richards and who have long regarded him as one of the most competent peace officers in the state and a man thoroughly educated in the art of war were disposed to doubt that the charge that he was implicated in the robbery of the Sullivans can be well found, but later when earlier details were given they were disposed to think that the issuance of the warrant is justification for the arrest of those instances that Richards must explain. The robbery in which it is charged Richards had a hand is one of the most sensational that has occurred in southern Iowa in years. Sarah Sullivan ran into the house and she sold it and received a cash payment of $1,950 to apply on the purchase price. The transaction was closed at Bussy and the money deceived by the robber. On December 31 Bussy withdrew money from the Bussy bank* intending to deposit it in a bank either at Lovilla or Knoville. He took the money home with him and it was concealed in an armored case. The unaryl two masked mea burst into the house and covering Mr. and Mrs. Sullivan with revolvers demanded that they give up the money. They denied it and robbed the robbers that they knew better. The robbers then threatened to torture Mrs. Sullivan and to kill her husband unless he hiding place of the robber had given money where the money was. The robbers took it and backed out of the house. Sullivan grabbed up a shotgun and running to the door engaged a gun due to the robbers, succeeding by hiding the door since been identified as Frank Baidh of Creston, a man who has done time for robbery. The other robber ran some distance and jumped into the house and was in waiting. The two managed to escape with the money. It is stated that the information against Richards was not sworn to until his confession had been obtained and he was given the command to him as the man who drove the rig the night of the lurgy. It is alleged that this confession was made by Baird, who thought that he was guilty of poisoning resulting from his wounds. Richards has been acquainted with the Sullivan for a number of years, and in a conversation with Sullivan he had drawn the money out of the Bussey bank. It is claimed that he advised him against depositing it in a certain bank in knoxville, saying it would have been more than this it is claimed that after Baird went there and manifested great interest in the criminal, then unidentified caller on the physician attending the court, we urge that every one should have seen it. Probably no peace officer in Iowa is better known than W. A. Richards. For many years he served as deputy sheriff in the state, and eight years ago was appointed a deputy United States marshal by Frank Bradley, who was considered by far the best man in the service in lot 3, and had unprecedented success in ferreting out criminals and violated the United States statutes. A POINTER ON CIGARETTES. iowa City Officers Desire View of the State Board on a "Fiend." Iowa City, Jan. 16.—Are the past insanity and the present eccentricity of Russell C. King due to excessive cigarette smoking? This is the problem that vexed the man who was the most insanity of Johnson county today. He has smoked cigarettes steadily night and day for the past twenty-four hours, while in custody and while in prison, he has "it" for an indefinite number of years. He is an ex-inmate of the asylums at Independence and M. Pleasant, and was formerly a divinity student, as paternal grandfather, that whence he came no one knows here. The young man, who is about 24 years old, was found wandering around Iowa City. He loud and loud incoherent in his speech and his explanation, were entirely misty. The police could get neither "head nor tail" of his talk and so they took him to the city jail, where he remained until the commissioners examined him. He seemed more nearly sane at that time, recording accordingly sent him to the St. Joseph sanitation of Iowa City instead of the state asylum. In the meantime, the state board of control will be asked for information. MASKED ROBBERS MISSED $100. Held Up Restaurant Keeper and Got Only $10. Ames, Jan 16—At 4 o'clock yesterday morning a robbie robbed entered Roll's restaurant, in this city, and with drawn revolver demanded of Haley the money containing the day's receipts. Roll, who had the money upon his person—nearly $100 in all—declared that the day man had taken the money home win him, and that all the cash he had about $10. This the robber proceeded to appropriate; also taking with him a valuable 38-caller revolver which was lying besides the cash drawer. The robber forced Roll to open the window of the money house. The robber was comically masked with a hideous false face, and there is no clew to his identity. He escaped, and although the alarm was immediately raised, the officers have not effected a capture. Pulling of Tooth May Cost Life. Sloux City, Jan. 12. Mrs. Helen was in the death as a result of no insignificant operation as having a tooth pulled. Two weeks ago she had one of her molars extracted by a local dentist. The pulling of the tooth was followed by a great hemorrhage of the gums. She was taken to the dentist for difficulty. These hemorrhages have returned a number of times in the last two weeks, and the loss of blood has so weakened the patient that her teeth are not as strong as they lost her senses. She can now hear and see only with great difficulty. EDITOR IS SHOT DOWN IN STREET Lieut. Gov. Tillman of South Carolina Shoots Editor of Columbia State. VICTIM WAS NOT WARNED When the Man Met Tillman Drew His Revolver and Fired at Close Ranges—The Wound Is an Ugly One and May Prove Fatal. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 16—A long distance telephone message from Columbia, S. C. says: While walking home to lunch yesterday N. M. Gonzales, the editor of the State, the local paper, was met by Leontianne G. and two state senators. Lieutenant Governor Tillman stepped close to Mr. Gonzales and drawing his revolver placed the weapon close to him and staggered but was caught by two men. The offices of the State are on the same block as the scene of the shooting and it took but a few moments in great thrill to assemble in front of the newspaper. The excitement on the streets was intense. Mr. Gonzales was taken to the office of the State, where physicians pronounced that the wounds very Policeman Boiland immediately after the shooting arrested Lieutenant Governor Tillman and took him to the police station, where he was leveled of two pistols—the one with which he shot Mr. Gonzales and a second larger revolver of 38 calibre. From the police station he was taken the county jail, where he is held. The police station caused shooting is that during the recent primary election Mr. Gonzales bitterly opposed Lieutenant Governor Tillman in his candidacy for governor. He was sent to the campaign Mr. Gonzales in his fight to defeat Mr. Tillman, editorially called him a debaubure and blackguard, denounced him as a criminal candidate and it was this and other such editorials, it is supposed, that goaded Mr. Tillman to the desperate deed of daytime. Since the first primary, August 25, Mr. Gonzales has has nothing to say about the police department upon the result of the primary. There appears to be no conflict of testimony as to the essential features of the tragedy. Mr. Gonzales was alone from his office to his lunch. Lieutenant Governor Tillman left the state house just after the senate, over which he presided, had adjournment accompanied by Senators Tailord of Beaufort and Brown of Darlington, and was joined on his way up town by congressional electors for the congressional representative Dominick. The meeting with Gonzales was just at the turn of Main and Gervais streets, on the north side of the street. Tillman, so far as the violence discloses, simply drew his revolver and fired at Gonzales. Most of those who saw the告说 say there was nothing said until after the shooting. One of Gonzales' accords says he thinks Tillman said: "I received your message," and then fired. He is not certain of this, but thinks so. The other companion of Mr. Tillman says he did not hear anything, but he thinks he would have heard any words if they were spoken. Two or three others say they heard nothing until after the firing of the gun. Gonzales himself gave an explicit statement of the affair prior to being put under anesthetics. He was very emphatic in saying that he had not sent any message to Tillman at any point, but Gonzales said nothing until after he had fired. After he had shot he said something about taking him (Gonzales) at his word. Gonzales took this to mean that Tillman told him that he was settling old issues face to face, but Gonzales said that nothing was said until after the shooting, when he tottered to the street car transfer station, where he leaned. Mr. Tillman was still pointing his pistol at him, whereupon Gonzales ordered him to guard. Lieutenant Governor Tillman lowered his pistol and walked away. There was only one shot fired and that entered the right side between the elight and ninth ribs and passed out. He was taken out just above the free border of the rib. The bullet was picked up on the pavement. A few moments after the wounded man had been conveyed to the office, he was taken to the physicians who were doing all they could to save his life. He was removed after a time to the Columbia hospital and surgeons performed an operation upon him late this afternoon. The operation was regarded as the best of the physicians the wounded man has only one chance in five to live. His constitution and habits of life, however, are stated to be greatly in his favor. The bullet is an ugly one, the liver and intestines are punctured. The Finding of Rich Gold Ore Again Startles the Northwest. Deadwood, S.

Hopkins Will Win Illinois Senate Election. Springfield Senator Fight United States Senator Mason yesterday formally announced his withdrawal from the contest to be his own successor, admitting the impossibility of his rejection. Representative Church of Chicago, the father of the movement to elect a Chicago man to succeed Senator Mason, also lost all hope last week in the contest to takeking, and Congressman A. J. Hopkins of Aurora, probably will be chosen without opposition. M. D. A prominent club woman, Mrs. Danforth, of St. Joseph, Mich., tells how she was cured of falling of the womb and its accompanying pains and misery by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. "Dear Mrs. Pinkham:—Life looks dark indeed when a woman feels that her strength is fading away and she has no hopes of ever being restored. Such was my feeling a few months ago when I was advised that my poor health was caused by prolapsus or falling of the womb. The words sounded like a knell to me, I felt that my arm has set; but Lydia E.

DO YOU COUGH DO NOT DELAY TAKE THE KEMP'S BALSAM When Baron Haussman went to Constantinople on a visit to Abdul Aziz who was then sultan, he had an interview with the grand vizier, who did not know a word of French. At the beginning of the interview the old long Turkish pipes were brought in, and then Baron Haussman began making a very long speech in French. The grief could not understand but listened to him, till he noticed that his pipe had gone out, and clapped his hand for a servant to come and relight it. Haussmann, thinking he was applauding, rushed toward him with outstretched arms, and thanked him. The grand vizier with his hand put forth, shook it warmly, and said: "Good-by." under the impression it was Haussmann's intention to leave, and quitted the room.

At my suggestion, Nita had engaged a maid, and as she was an elderly, visu-sourised female, she served every purpose of chaperon as well as of preserving appearances. Once in New York I sought the major. I found him at the club and he nearly fell in a heap on the floor when he beld me. He exclaimed, rushing to me, wringing by hands, tears streaming down his face and his whole frame trembling. "Dick! Wilberton, old fellow, how did you do it?" We heard you were dead, you know. "Heard I was dead, eh? Well, I'm a lively dead man, major. I've got what I went after, and more, too. Had all sorts of adventures and narrow escapes. Brought back Maubkeck, whose name is Henry Thorlane, the potttl, whose name is Alice Graviscourt. "No! Gad! Is it so? Have you got the proof?" "Proof enough. We must see Charles Sigmotta at once. I need another bit of testimony from him, and then we'll tackle Graviscourt and knock him out." I showed the major the lockets and pin and read to him the statements of Antonio Sigmotta and Dambo. "You returned just in time," said the major, grimly. "The wedding is now surely on the way. I have learned since you left the true inwardness of Broughton's preference for Graviscourt. It seems that Broughton's means are much more limited than we have supposed, and he has from time to time borrowed money from Graviscourt. He has gone to the house as security. He has gone to the wall, financially, and Graviscourt pushes his claim to Edith, promising Broughton to cancel all debts the day she becomes his bride. She held out firmly until the news came that you died in Sardinia of some fever, and then the poor girl gave up the fight and consented to be a sacrifice to save her father. But you are in time, boy —you are in time. Edith loves you, and you only. Do up Graviscourt and the field is yours. "What about Nita?" I asked. "She is now at the same hotel as Thorlande and you only. It doesn't look just... "Not at all, boy; not at all. My sister, Mrs. Dahner, is just the one. She will be glad to receive her as a guest, and, of course, her wedding must be in my sister's home. I will see Nellie at once." True to his promise, the major saw his sister, and she readily assented to his plan. That evening Nita was escorted to Mrs. Dahner's house, where she realised until she became Mrs. Henry Thorlande. When I left the club, I was hurrying through the street, when lo! I saw Edith Broughton coming toward me, with a couple of small packages in her arms. And she was alone. My death had freed her from all danger, in Broughton's eyes, and she was now allowed to go shopping alone. I looked at her and saw her doorway that was somewhat dark and secluded. I waited near it, and when Edith came up I seized her, whisked her into that doorway, and proceeded to hug and kiss her in a fashion that partially recompens me for the long period of waiting I had undergone. At first she was frightened nearly out of her wits, but when she realized who she was, she put her arms around my neck and me fairly half way, dropping her bundles in her excitement. "Dick! Darling Dick!" she cried. "They told me you were dead." Kisses. "I don't look very dead, do I darling?" More kisses. "I have come back to take you away from that felon, but I don't have no money about now. either. I've courage since I left New York, and you will be my wife now if I have to kill Graviscount and your respected parents to get you!" "Oh, Dick, darling, what an escape I've had! If you'd been a little later you have carried it to save papa. Oh! I have carried it." "Don't do it. Think of me. You are sure you love me!" "Oh, Dick! recoachly. I kissed her again. Her face was suffused with blushes. Her hat was awry. She was half laughing and half crying in her happiness. "Do you see us, Dick," she said, finally. "Do call a carriage and take me home." So I called a carriage, and, putting my future wife into it, I clambered in after her and her down at her own door. Then I lighted a cigar and, ordering the driver to take me to the hotel, I lay back on the cushions, the most equitably happy, contented and egotistically satisfied individual In the universe. May I follow that upon which we arrived in New York, a party of three wended our way to number 300 Mulberry street, and upon presentation of our names were unhurt by the presence of Superintendent Brynes of the Metropolitan Police. His grim face softened with a smile when he saw us, and he held out a brawny hand that nearly crushed mine as he greeted me. "So the dead has returned to life," he said pleasantly. "You gave us quite a scare, young man." The condiment, but my friends did it for me! I replied. Then I launched to the object of our visit. I launched into the object of our visit: Byrnes listened attentively while I looked at the camera, nothing which in the smallest degree bore upon the mystery of Alice Gravis-court and Nita Bariotti. He listened attentively, with his eyes fixed steadily upon my face. Then I read the statements of Antonio Signota and Michele Bariotti in the pocket with the miniature photograph. The major and Theriana were as keen in listening as if it was the first time they had heard these things. When I had finished, the superintendent said: "I do not see that anything is lacking except the confession of Charles Sigmotta. You have now enough to convict him, but it would be difficult to connect the man Graviscourt with the crime. The identification of Nita Bariotti as Alice Graviscourt seems to be pretty well established, and it should be possible to prove that you give Graviscourt quite a fight. With Sigmotta's own confession you will overwhelm him so utterly that he will have no loophole of escape." "That is just the way we look at it," I replied, "and we came to you to get your advice as to the best way to obtain Sigmotta's confession." The superintendent thought a moment. "There is no doubt, is there, major," he said, "the druggist Tortorial is closest to least," replied the major, "the chief agent." replied the major, "I identified him before Wilberton and Thorlane went away, and Dambo's statement verifies mine." "Tortoni the druggist went away on the same day that Malgini did," I said. "I do not know whether he has returned or not." "It will not take long to learn," said the druggist. "But first let us get at what we want to do with him. Undoubtedly the man deserves the severest punishment that can be meted out to him under the law. The fact that his murderous intention was frustrated by his brother does not make his act any the less helmous." "It will not be said. But the punishment of Signota does not be the case. It is Graviscrest we want. I do not think we need to do much with Signota, who probably did what he was employed to do. I would be willing to let up on him for the sake of getting the absolute truth in regard to the whole matter." "And armed thus, you will proceed against Graviscrest?" "With that I have nothing to do," I replied. "My duty is ended the moment the truth is established. The case then goes to Nita Barlott and her affanced husband, Henry Thorlaine. I trust them to regain her rights. Thorlaine grimly. "Would it not be a good plan to go to Tortoni's drug store and confront him with the facts we have already learned and squeeze him until he squeals?" Byrne laughed. "I see you have the vermacular," he said, "but I think I can show you a better squeezing trick than that. Let me have the papers." He rang a bell and an officer entered. "What is the address of the drug store?" asked the superintendent. " told him. He something on a piece of paper and handed it to the officer. "Go to that address and bring the man here at once, if you can find him," said. miser saluted and went out. In about fifteen minutes, during which time I had produced some cigars and we all sat smoking, he recoiled and asked for a plumplencent, whisky-rotten wretch, who qualified before the steely gaze of the superintendent. Then his eyes fell on the major, and he started, for, after all the years, the fallen physician recognized the man of the world. "Sit down," said the superintendent, and the quivering wretch fell into a chair. At the superintendent's command a stenographer now quietly made his ap, his name and sat near his chief, with pencil ready. "What is your name?" asked the superintendent. "Tortoni," was the reply, with a side look at the major to see if he nailed the lie. "M! What was it before it was Tortoni?" asked the superintendent. The wretch writened in his chair. "Said by Byrnes. 'It will be better for you.'" "I was born Tortoni," said the fellow, doggedly. "Ah! Then how did you come to adopt the name Sigmotta, under which you practiced medicine?" asked the superintendent, blandly. The Italian turned ashy white and shook with fear. "How why you were brought here?" asked the superintendent. Sigmotta shook his he t. "To answer to the charge of murder." Sigmotta leaped to his feet and stood like a wild animal, panting before the calm man of clubs. "It is a lily!" he cried arsely. "A foothold like a wild animal. I am accused? Who is my accuser?" "You have several accusers," replied the superintendent. "And you are accused of inciting one Luigi Dambo to the murder of Nita Bartelli, once a performer in Pacho Malligni's circus, and also inciting this same Dambo to the murder of Maligni himself. You had made an attempt on his life and failed. You recall the occurrences of Malligni's circus, when you put a bullet through his cheek?" Author David Graham Phillips, author of "Her Serene Highness," was a very young man, he applied for work on a Cincinnati paper. "What can you do?" said the editor. "I can try anything," replied the young man. Thinking to rid himself of f_other importances for an assignment, the educator said. "Well, write an article on bread." It was a trying moment for the ambitious youngster, but he never finished. All that night he collected material, and the next day reported to the surprised editor with a bright and newsy article on "The Bakeries of Cincinnati." The young reporter was immediately engaged.

MISS. ELIZABETH UBER MISS. SYBYL A. HADLER A. MRS. M.J. BRINK FIRST STAGE OF CATARRH. A Serious Mistake Which Thousands Are Making. The first stage of catarr is what is commonly known as "catching cold." It may be in the head, nose, throat or lungs. It can be a chill and considerable fever, or it may be so slight as to not hinder a person from his usual business. In perhaps a majority of cases little or no attention is paid to the first stage of catarr, and hence it is important that people have chronic catarr in some form. To neglect a cold is to invite chronic catarr. As soon as any one discovers After men the animals that woman take most interest in are boys. To Cure a Cold in One Day.

The most striking and significant movement that challenges attention at the commencement of the new century is that toward organization, and the three great combinations which stand out most prominently in interest and importance are the organization of capital, the organization of labor and the organization of women. The first two are closely connected with the material prosperity of the nation, the last cannot fail to affect its moral welfare. If we look into the dawn of the world, we see that from her first appearance woman has always been a great power. There is a great work to be done and women by their great influence and power are called upon to help bring about the salvation of the race. There are strong currents in the social world today that are threatening us as a race, which call upon us to oppose, and women who are always on the alert have taken up the work. Women are awakening the world ever to a sense of their responsibilities and are making the most of their opportunities. Home is and ever will be the chosen kingdom of woman, she could not if she would, stifle the instinct that makes her the home maker of the race. The housewife of a hundred years ago, absorbed in the affairs of her small world and personally superintending the probeses of what are now a score or more distinct trades, was the true ancestor of her club making daughter of today. Housekeeking may be a declining art, home making is an advancing one. The advent of labor saving machinery brought leisure into the lives of these over-worked house wives, and with leisure came the desire for improvedmelt. Classes and reading circles were formed, unions for charitable work followed wherein women learned the strength in union, the power of combined effort. That we have good and intelligent women among us cannot be successfully questioned; that we can do effective work in whatever we undertake is evidenced by all preceding efforts in church and secret organizations of which we have numbers galore; but there is no purpose and no form of organization calculated to accomplish so much for colored women or the race as a thorough organization of women's alba. It begins at the foundation of all civilization, builds upon improved lines the character, habits and usages that are necessary to inculcate to fit us to fill our proper places as a part and parcel of the American nationality. The clubs already organized should never rest content until they become members of the National and are engaged in the work of developing a higher standard of racial progress. Time and space will not permit me to dwell upon the many helpful things supported by the clubs of the National Association of Colored Women; Old Folk's Homes, Day Nurseries, Kindergartens, Reading and Culture Clubs, Musical, Domestic and Science and many more too numerous to mention proving that we are living up to our motto "Lifting as we climb," and endeavoring to educate public sentiment for us, not against us.

Williams one of the leading Afro American politicians of the South Side of Chicago has recently been appointed to a good position in the county treasurer in that city The Wilgera Oil and Gas company, with a capital of $50,000, has been incorporated at Charleston, West Virginia, by colored men. This is said to be the largest deal ever undertaken by negros in this country. The company owns 75 acres of very rich oil and gas land in Morgan county. All stock issued will be subscribed for by negroes By the will of William Pitts of Taunton, Mass. $32,000 is bequeathed for the erection of chapels and conducting missionary in order to spread the Episcopal faith among the Negroes of Georgia and other Southern States. The question is who needs religion the most, Negroes or whites BUXTON NEWS. Church Social and Business Mr. W. A. Wells was a business visitor in Chicago last week. Sharing Jones of the store here is spending a two weeks visit with his parents in Canterville. Mike Moe Warrn spent the holidays in Dan Moine. Interesting meetings are held each Monday evening at Mt.

The other Saturday while a portion of the people who attended the hand concert during the holidays in Des Moines, were returning from Hamilton, a wear by rail road station, in a hack, a fortress académie happened. Just as the hack load got to a big hill and were about to descend a wheel broke and the tongue to the wagon snapped in twain. This caused the back to turn side ways and tar a completely over with all on board. For a while there was a wild sorrow, after the wrench was cleared it was found that everybody was alive. Prof. Jackson received a wrap on the head, *Will Thomas* sprained his ankle, while the rest were badly shaken up and frightened. The house was a covered one, which possibly saved them all from a worse Mr. Edward Carter from the State University spent Christmas week with his parents here in Buxton.

Last Friday night the beautiful house of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. London were thrown open for an old fashion yell piling. A host of the young people assembled and a most delightful time was enjoyed by all. At a late hour they departed for their homes, sweeter than they come. One day last week the usually quiet Buston was thrown into a mighty confusion. The lethargic state that often prevails in a town like this was suddenly brown off, sweet peace covered her lace in some, old "bedian." had broken loose and a whistle ceiged. A white man an down Main street hotly perused by two colored women, one carrying a ran r and the other a knife, so it is said. The man ped on, so did the women, crying. "stop him, he killed my baby." Men joined the chase but the paused reached his goal. A countable brought the gentleman back and an investigation was instituted. Result was baby was not hurt. A traveler for a Des Moines installment house set his trunks into Lizzie Washington's house; when he went to move them the trouble arose. In the terrible the countable the man got the worst of it and fled to tall timber as stated above. L. K. Willis of Des Moines spent Christmas in Buxton. M. T. PLEASANT NEWS. Rev. and Mrs. R. E.

The most striking and significant movement that challenges attention at the commencement of the new century is that toward organization, and the three great combinations which stand out most prominently in interest and importance are the organization of capital, the organization of labor and the organization of women. The first two are closely connected with the material prosperity of the nation, the last cannot fail to affect its moral welfare. If we look into the dawn of the world, we see that from her first appearance woman has always been a great power. There is a great work to be done and women by their great influence and power are called upon to help bring about the salvation of the race. There are strong currents in the social world today that are threatening us as a race, which call upon us to oppose, and women who are always on the alert have taken up the work. Women are awakening the world ever to a sense of their responsibilities and are making the most of their opportunities. Home is and ever will be the chosen kingdom of woman, she could not if she would, stifle the instinct that makes her the home maker of the race. The housewife of a hundred years ago, absorbed in the affairs of her small world and personally superintending the probeses of what are now a score or more distinct trades, was the true ancestor of her club making daughter of today. Housekeeping may be a declining art, home making is an advancing one. The advent of labor saving machinery brought leisure into the lives of these over-worked house wives, and with leisure came the desire for improvedmett. Classes and reading circles were formed, unions for charitable work followed wherein women learned the strength in union, the power of combined effort. That we have good and intelligent women among us cannot be successfully questioned; that we can do effective work in whatever we undertake is evidenced by all preceding efforts in church and secret organizations of which we have numbers galore; but there is no purpose and no form of organization calculated to accomplish so much for colored women or the face as a thorough organization of women's alba. It begins at the foundation of all civilization, builds upon improved lines the character, habits and usages that are necessary to incubate to fit us to fill our proper places as a part and parcel of the American nationality. The clubs already organized should never rest content until they become members of the National and are engaged in the work of developing a higher standard of racial progress. Time and space will not permit me to dwell upon the many helpful things supported by the clubs of the National Association of Colored Women; Old Folk's Homes, Day Nurseries, Klundergarten, Reading and Culture Clubs, Musical, Domestic and Science and many too numerous to mention proving that we are living up to our motto "Litting as we climb," and endeavoring to educate public sentiment for us, not against us.
