A very pretty wedding, and one of much interest to the colored people of the city, was celebrated Sunday evening at 8:30 at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Gilmore, 706 Frederiek street, who gave in marriage their daughter, Lulu, to Rev. William T. Nickerson, pastor of the Second Baptist church of this city. Fifty guests, including a number of the young couple's friends among the white people, witnessed the ceremony, which was performed by Dr. Elijah Brown Jones, of the First Baptist church. The bride and groom stood under a canopy of lace, entwined with evergreen. The bride was becomingly attired in a gown of pineapple tissue, over light blue silk, trimmed with ribbons and lace, and carried a bouquet of pink and white carnations. The bride's sister, Mrs. Benjamine Baker, of Juxton, and brother, Mr. Charles Gilmore, Jr., of Grinnell, acted as matron of honor and best man. Mrs. Nickerson is one of the best-known young women in the colored society of the city, and has many friends. Rev. Nickerson has been in charge of the colored church here a little over two years, and has been very successesul.

Again that blatant ignorant hyena, "Pitchfork" Ben Tillman is venting his spleen and harsh words on our good President Reosevelt, simply because of the stand that the president has taken to protect colored people in the employ of Uncle Sam, also because the president said in a letter to the south that he would not close the door of hope or opportunity against the worthy of any race. Then he criticises the president for inviting colored men at the public social receptions that he gives. All of these things and the good Lord only knows how many other things grieves Tillman. Then his threat that South Carolina would have to resort to some bloody method. All this fire eating rebelism, Negro hating Tillmanism utterances as bosh, for if such a time should ever come. The Negroes alone living south of the Mason and Dixon line, if properly armed to whip all the white Negro haters easy. We well remember that South Carolina was the first M. M. B. BRENNAN FOR JUDGE.

Mr. Brennan came to this city 35 years ago, where he has practice 25 years. He is honest careful and painstaking, always doing the best for his client. Mr. Brennan is one of those self made men, having dug coal in the mines in his early life, and by that honest integrity he has climbed upward. He was elected city solicitor from 1800 to 1894. He is the only East Side candidate for judgement, and as usually the East Side is accorded one of the four judges. Mr. Brennan stands a good chance of the nomination. He is an active republican worker and merits your support. He is a friend of the colored people and will give them justice if he should be elected.

So we may expect any thing from South Carolina, so long as the murderous and slanderous Tillmans rule that state. It is indeed a shame that in each session of the Missouri legislature they try to pass a Jim Crow car law for colored people. It is strange that they have nothing to legislate but to parley over things like this. It is unreasonable, unjust, unfair, to even consider separating the two races in Missouri. There is no reason or need for such a law, and we hope that the intelligent legislators will defeat it so it will not again come up. Last week a large colored delegation went to Jefferson City to protest against the passage of the bill. United Negro, His Problems and His Progress. We have just received a beautiful book, recently published, entitled United Negro, His Problems and his Progress, written by Prof. I. Garland Penn, A. M., and Prof. J. W. E. Bowen, Ph. D. D.

The publication of this book was the result of the Congress, as it was authorized to be published by the board of directors of the Congress. It contains addresses and proceedings of this Congress, where had gathered the largest crowd of educated young colored people in the history of the world.

It cost a great deal to publish this book, so the D. E. Luther Publishing Co., 74 and 76 North Broad St., Atlanta, Ga., has taken it upon themselves to publish the book and sell it; they are also desirous of securing some more good agents, so write them for full particulars. It is a good book and ought to sell at sight. There will soon be an agent in our city. --- NEW BOOK. 208-210 SEVENTH ST. Des Moines, Iowa. Our Uncrowned Hero. HON.

We are in a little better condition to fill orders in them now and invite you to carefully examine them before you decide to purchase a player, and we believe that if you do you will buy a Kimball, because of their superior qualities, which enables the operator to play according to his own ideas of music and in that entirely eliminates the mechanical effect.

The ribbon looms operated in St. Ethelme, the greatest ribbon manufacturing city of France, are now supplied with electrical power. Sir Richard Powell, the eminent English physician, is noted for his ranskness in speaking his mind without regard to the social position of his patient. Once on the terrace of Manchester, he ordered her to disrobe. "But, Sir Richard, I haven't my mald here," she said; to which the baronet retorted: "Madame, I have no intention of examining your mald." Frederic I. Crowset, in his volume, "Musicians' Wit, Humor and Anecdote," says that when the famous Straus first visited America, musical performances were ward the end of the season the "king of waltz music" was showered with application for hair. In due course of time the locks were distributed—many of them were sandpapered, yet when he had been abundant by the complements of the composer. Sufficient hair was sent out to make Straus look as though he had been sandpapered, yet when he had been abundant as ever. But when his beautiful black retriever (Straus was a great dog fancier) took its departure, the animal looked like a shorn poole. A story is going the rounds of a youthful minister who, when he preached his first funeral sermon over a woman in a small Maine town, praised her husband, sitting there listening, could not recognize her by the description. Finally, in a glowing peroration he pictures her, laughing and all the hosts of the redeemed joyously forming a parade to welcome to heaven this "one of the very best of all women." The parade leader, who rules his own household, could stand it no longer, and leaping up, interrupted the preacher with a beckoning hand, gasping out, "no offer, no offer, that she was only so bout middlin'." A newly married couple recently sauntered leisurely around Statuary Hall in the Capitol at Washington, D.C. trying hard to appear unconscious. Stopping on one side, the stooge stumbled on two youthful pages looking for a joke. One of the pages hurried to annotate ecoconservative articles, and "What did you get married?" The couple looked at each other, and then all around the hall, but could discern no one. The bride blushed, and the groom stared at her. Presently again came the mysterious question: "When did you get married?" Awe stricken and looking exasperated, from the hall, to the intense amusement of the mischievous pages. Senator Hear relates an anecdote of his friend, the Rev. Joseph Erskine, of Edinburgh; "At one time in his life, Mr. Erskine handkerchief after handkerchief, he found, on investigation, that it was on anaytic, one Sabbath morning Mrs. Erskine sowed his handkerchief in the tail pocket of his coat, 'Noo,' said she, 'noat ue us see what will happen.' Mr. Erskine, with the aid of the side of the church that morning as usual to ascend to the pulpit, but as he sailed by the amen corner he felt a gentle tag behind, a delicate nibble among his coatalties, pointed old woman 'a the corner, and said, with a triumph smile: 'No the day, honest woman, 'no the day.' In his "Recollections," Abbrey does two tells of an Irishman he met in Switzerland, with whom patriots was so truly a man that every word in praise of the scenery about him seemed a distinct aspersion on the land of his birth. "What can you come mountains of Wicklow?" "Perhaps," said a traveler, "one might name the mountains of the Mont Blanc range." Oh, he replied scornfully. "Oh, you walk along the Chamoun Valley for three days, and I only saw four of those mountains. Sure, in Wicklow I have counted the mountains you have shown." "Have you seen this wonderful waterfall within half a mile of us?" "I have not seen it, and I am not going to see it. Didn't I see the mountains?" "Down it comes from such a height that you don't know where it comes from. Down it plunges, thundering and belowing, sometimes black as ink, and you self against the right-hand rocks and smashing itself against the left-hand rocks. What is your Handeck Fall compared to that?" "Some persons in the waterfall here are about ten times as high and six times as broad." "Ah, then," said he, with an added note of scorn, "thou the O'Sullivan Cascade is this now. Couldn't you take a magnifying glass to it?" Nervous old Lady—I 'hope your horse is quiet, cabman.

T. E. Carter, the superintendent, has culminated in a strange agreement entered into among the saloon men, the mayor and the anti-saloon league. Last spring Mayor Caldwell made the league a rule that he would understand and control the saloons with the condition that the saloons should have an extra hour in which to do business at night. This was rejected, and the league went ahead in its own way. Theure of the city, Carter has been the change of heart, and now they have accepted the mayor's offer. By the terms of the agreement, Mayor Caldwell will undertake to enforce the pact and the police force will be requisitioned into emergency terms are to be kept, they shall keep at 10 o'clock; on that Saturday nights they shall keep open until midnight, when they shall remain closed until 5 o'clock Monday morning. Winerooma and the frequenting of saloons, he has driven to be stopped, the driver are to be sold to miners and habitual drunkards. The agreement, following the long and bitter fight that has been waged on the saloons in Sioux City from before and since the sensation was introduced in Haddock, in nothing less than a revolution in anti-saloon sentiment. MRS. GALLAUGHER INDICTED. Acquitted of Murder, Must Be Tried For Perjury. Iowa City, Feb. 19.—James Gallaugher has been once more indicted for perjury. The accused woman, who has been in Illinois, returned as the result of a message from her attorneys, who informed her of the likelihood of an indictment. She appeared before Judge Byington and gave a bond of $1,000. This makes a bail of $1,800 in all, as she was already with a bond of $1,000 after her indictment for perjury. The second indictment is more sweeping than the first, and charges her with perjury in the murder case itself, while the first only alleged that she sworded her husband. She is now charged with testifying falsely in the murder trial, concerning her statements to a physician, about her "missing revenge" her "concerns" for her interactions with Charles Holada, and her things, Holada, who was recently brought back from the penitentiary, is here in the county jail, and has been readied for the trial. He has ready testified before the grand jury. The state elected to try the prisoner first under the second and stronger indictment. Her attorney, John Hodgson, is ready for trial on the day set, February 13, under the first indictment, and are not prepared for the new bill.

No Accusation in Connection With Pattie Shooting Des Moines, Feb. 19.—It is learned that Stephen Crandall, the man who was supposed to have been connected with the shooting of Harry Pattate at Perry a few weeks ago, is now at home. He was shot and killed against him. Crandall was not arrested because the dogs had followed a trail to his house in the country the next day after the shooting of Pattate. But his was arrested for hog stealing. He was also thought that by the time his thirty days were up information would develop warranting an arrest for the shooting of the banker's son. No one was arrested for the banker. Crandall has been released from jail at Adel. It was also stated at the time that Crandall was out on parole, having been previously convicted of some crime, but this is an error. He was sent to jail for the crime to be sent back for the former crime. Found Corps by Her Side. Marshalltown, Feb. 19.—E. A.

This decision is contrary to the practice heretofore indulged in in various Iowa cities and is considered a victory for the saloon interests who have been hampered by the withdrawal of names by petitioners.

KEEPING EYE ON ASSEMBLEMENTS- Executive Council Watching Methods of Property Valuation. Des Moines, Feb. 20, 2008. Members of the executive council are keeping a close eye on the assessment of property in different parts of the state. Some of the circular was sent out the council auditors assessors to fix the valuation of property at its actual value as the law contemplates, and the taxable value at 25 per cent of the actual. At the meeting of the auditors here, however, it leaked out that agree- ments had been made to the council and the assessors to fix the taxable valuation at 20 per cent of the actual value. Statements regarding these agreements were given out confidently and it was not long until they found their way to members of The question is a serious one for the executive council and members of that body have been quietly talking it over from the different counties show little or no increase in the real estate assessment, the hopes entertained by at least some members of the council of another increase in the railroad assessment. There is some reason to believe that if there is an increase in the railroad assessment and the assessment on real estate is not increased by the local assessment, the council will increase imposed on them in the courts. When being assessed last year the roads presented showings that other property was assessed far exceeded the council will take some action on the return of Governor Cammlus. In the meantime, Secretary Davison of the council, it is understood will get things in shape so that if effective action may happen, he will send out to the county auditors and get lists of the assessors in each county, of the clerks in cities and towns, who are also the recording officers of the local boards of equalization. If the assessors are the heads of trustees, who are also the heads of the local boards of equalization. If it appears called for, inquiries will be sent out to the assessors asking for the real estate transfers to the prices, and the valuations proposed to put on these properties. Should this be done and it appears the assessments were too low, it would be possible for the council to take the matter up with the county auditors, which meet on the first Monday in April. It has been suggested that by taking up the question at this early stage, it will be possible to deal with any de-essessment effectively. If action is postponed until after the boards of equalization have met, the council can only remedy things by raising or lowering the assessments of one of the councils in relation to the council and the assessors themselves can adjust the assessments much more satisfactorily.

Cedar Rapids, Feb. 20—A fire, which started in the Clifton hotel after 2 o'clock this morning, completely destroyed the structure. One hundred guests were in the house, many of them or thirty were injured, many seriously, and some fatally, by jumping from the second and third story windows. It is said that several people were seen to come into the building and fall back into the flames to perish. No estimates can be made of the number of dead, if any, at this hour. The National hotel, next door to the Clifton on First avenue, also caught fire, and will be destroyed. It is about to be destroyed, and control the flames from that point and that they will be prevented from extending further. ROADS MUST BE GOOD. Many Rural Routes Are to Be Abolished if Farmers Do Not Fix Roads. Marshalltown, Feb. 18—Special agent J. T. Boylan has begun the inspection of the rural routes running out of Marshalltown with a view to ascertaining whether there are any reasons why the security should be reinforced. The inspectors will be rigid and any defects will be reported to Washington. Particular attention is to be paid to the condition of the roads. A similar inspection will be conducted that a large number of them will be—uncontinued, unless the patrons make an effort to improve the roads and patronize the routes sufficiently to warrant their continuance.

Until the last five or six years but little attention was given to that vast area of grain-producing land lying north of the 49th parallel, and immediately adjoining the northern boundaries of Minnesota and Wisconsin, where themselves were aware of the wealth that lay there, but being unable to fully occupy it, they have asked the Americans to assist them in converting the land from its virgin state to one that will largely supplement the grain-producing area of the North American continent where the response has been most liberal. During the year 1901 upwards of 20,000 from the United States went over to Canada, being induced to settle there by the reports that reached them of the success of those who had preceded them during the previous years. This 20,000 was increased to 30,000 during the year 1902, and it is fully expected that there will be fully 50,000 during the present year. The effect of the immigration branch of Canadian government now being directed towards giving information as to the advantages of settlement in Canada as it is to extending an invitation to the Americans to follow those who have gone. Those who have charge of the work point with considerable pride to the success of those who have been induced to take advantage of the offer of 160 acres of land free in Canada, and to have the privilege of instituting the invitation. Many of those interested say there are no more free homesteads to be had in Canada, but the writer has most positive assurance from the Canadian government that there are thousands of such homesteads to be had, and in one of the disasters now being opened up fully as good as the best, and it is probably the best. The Canadian government has established agencies at St. Paul, Minn.; Omaha, Neb.; Kansas City, Mo.; Chicago, Ill.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Milwaukee, WI.; Wausau, Wis.; Detroit, Sault Ste. Marie and Marquette, Mich.; Toledo, Ohio; Watertown, S. Dakota; Grand Forks, N. Dakota, and Great Falls, Mont, and the suggestion is made that by addressing any of these, who are authorized agents of the government, it will be to the advantage of the reader, who will be given the fullest and most authentic information regarding the results of mixed farming, dairying, ranching, and grain raising, and also supply information as to freight and passenger rates, etc. When faith is lost and honor dies, the man is dead.—Whittler.

Plato a privilege of nature, Theocritus a delightful prejudice, Theophrastus a silent cheat, Carneades a solitary kingdom. Homer a glorious gift of nature, the muse. Aristotle was affirmed that beauty was better than all the letters of recommendation in the world, and yet none of these distinguished authorities has left us even a hint of how beauty is to be perpetuated, or the threat to our life. Time soon blends the lily and the rose into the palour of age, disease dots the fair face with cutaneous disgustions and crimsons the Roman nose with unlucky fushes, moth, if not rust, corrups the glory of beauty, and defacing the completion, and tills the sensitive soul with agony unspeakable. If such be the unhappy condition of one afflicted with slight skin blemishes, what must be the feelings of these patients who run race, covering the skin with scates and sores and charging the blood with polioson elements to become a part of the system under attack, such as aurtray such suffering. Death in many cases might be considered a blessing. The blood and fluids seem to be imprigated with a dry element which, upon the surface of the body, infiltrates and burns until, in his efforts for relief, the patient tears the skin with his nails, and not until the blood flows in sufficient relief come to cause him to die. Thus do complexional defects merge into torturing disease, and plunged vanity give place to real suffering. A fracture of the femur allows the to-allow-down hips, a patch of tattoon on the palm of the hand or on the limbs suddenly envelopes the body in its fiery embrace, a bruise on the leg expands into a gawning uter, which causes a painful heart in every parvovum of pain, a small kernel in the neckmultiply into a dozen, which cut away the vulty, great peak-like flow from the heart, and abundance as to pass credibility; and on may we depict the sufferings to which poor human nature is subject, all of which involve grief and mental distress If there were not another external disease known, eczema alone would be a sufficient infliction on mankind. It perverses all classes, and descends impartially through generations. While some are constantly enveloped in it, others have it confined to small patches in the cars, on the scalp, on the breast, on the palms of the hands, on the limbs, etc., but everywhere his distinctive feature is a small watery blister, which discharges an acrid fluid, causing heat, inflammation, and intense itching. Ring-worm, tetter, scalled head, dandruff, belong to this scaly and itching order of diseases. Psoriasis, our modern leprosy, with its mother-of-pearl scale, situated on a roddened base, which bleeds upon the removal of the scale, is to be dreaded and avoided, as of old.

This treatment affords instant relief, permits rest and sleep in the severest cases, and also helps to calm and ease the pain, and points to a speedy, permanent, and economical cure of torturing, disfiguring humors, eczema, rashes, and infarmations, from infancy to age, when all other remedies and the best physician's fail. The remedy, sitting the Cucurbit system will repress the security of their remarkable properties. Cucurita Soap contains in a modified form the medicinal properties of Cucurita Ointment, the great skin cure and moisturizer and sweetener for the skin. It is gentle, delicate and refreshing of flower odors. It purifies and invigorates the pores of the skin, and imparts activity to the oil glands and tubes thus making the skin more moist, which if retained would cause plumps, blackheads, rashes, oily, mottled skin and other complexional disqualifications. Cucurita Soap is a full-filling hair, and baby rashes. It gets and continuous action on the nature lubricators of the skin keeps the latter transparent, soft, flexible, and healthy. Cucurita Soap is the occasional use of Cucurita Ointment realizes the fairest complexion, the sofist, whitest hands, and the most luxurious, glossy hair within the doily. It is an advanced scientific knowledge to supply. Culturec Ointment is the most successful external curative for torturing, disgusting humors of the skin and scalp, including loss of hair, in proof, and preceded by a hot bath with Culturec Soap, and followed in the severer cases by a full dose of Culturec Resolvent, is sufficient to afford immediate relief in the most distressing forms of itching, burning, and scalp humors, permitting relief in the most severe cases when all other remites fail. It is especially so in the treatment of children, cleaning, soothing, and healing the most distressing of infant humors, and preserving, purifying, beautifying the skin, scalp, and hair. Cuticura Ointment possesses, at the same time, the charm of satisfying the simple wants of the toilet of skages, in caring for the skin, scalp, hair, and hands for more effectively agreeably, and economically than the most expensive of toilet enrollments, while free from every ingredient of a doubtful or da- gerous character. Its "One Night Treatment of the Hands," or "Single Treatment of the Hair," or use after athletics, cycling, golf, tennis, riding, sparring, or any sport, each in connection with the use of Cuticura Soap, is sufficient evidence of this. Of all remedies for the purification of the blood and circulating fluids, none aproporaches in specific medical action Cuticura hesoivent. It neutralizes and resolves away (hence its name) scroflows, inherited, and other humors in the blood, which give rise to swellings of the glands, pains in the bones, and torturing, figuring eruptions of the skin and scalp, which lose of hair. Cuticura Resolves extrems its purifying influence by means of the pores to the surface of the skin, allaying irritation, inflammation, itching, and brenning, and soothing and healing. Hence its success in the treatment of distressing humors of the skin, scalp, and blood, with loss of hair, which fall to be permanently cured by external remedies alone. The grandest testimonial that can be offered Cucurbit remedies is their ability to help the person recommend the appropriate recommendations of those used them. It is difficult to realize the mighty growth of the business done with Cucurbit remedies as a small beginning in the simplest form of judice and opition, against mended hosts, contests rivals, and trade inions. Cucurbit remedies have become the greatest of mended hosts, and, in fact, of all time, for where in the history of medicine is another approach approaching them in popularity every time and with every people they meet with the same receptions.

Wife and Partner are Under Arrest For Murder. Macedonia. Feb. 17.—J. M. Smith sat spell bound and horror struck in his wagon at sight of the terrible spectacle that met his eyes as he was riding by the William Tompkins farm, a half mile east of this town, about noon. A male arm wore waving wildly over his head, a stream of blood was gushing from his throat. As he tried to utter cries, the blood jutted far out from his throat in a little stream as from the mouth of a hydrant. "They did it, they did it, they did it!" shouted the terrible human spectacle, as with one hand he beckoned to Smith to come into the yard and with the other vainly tried to stay the streams of blood that spurted from his throat. Smith recovered from his stupor. He leaped from his wagon and was about to enter the yard. Another man and a woman rushed from the house and to him before he could enter the gate. "Don't come in; we will take care of him," he has tried to commit suicide," this pair said to Smith. They would not let him enter. He jumped back on to .is wagon, hastened to Macedonia, and notified the authorities and a physician. As he looked around, he saw a man on to him wildly. When the physician arrived the man with the cut throat was dead. He was Barney McDaniel. The man and the woman who prevented Smith from going to his assistance had of having murdered him. They are Mrs. Barney McDaniel and Bert Livik. Barney McDaniel and his wife and Bert Livix worked the farm together. There has been some strife between them and McDaniel, the actions of Lvivix and McDaniel's wife. For two years the people in the vicinity have more than suspected their intimacy and have wondered if the mother's inquest Mrs. McDaniel would say nothing about this intimacy. She declared that her husband had been very quarrelsome and on the morning of the trouble he arose in tears. "He got up at 6 o'clock, went out of the house and came in a little later," Mrs. McDaniel said. "He lay down on the lounge and took us that mother and I went to the hours he was in convulsions, but we did not think it was anything serious." "Mr. Lvivix and I left the room for a house, while we were away my husband took a razor out of the bureau drawer and cut himself twice in the throat. He ran out of the house and in a little while fell down and died in the snow. Mr. Lvivix took to work after a doctor but it was too late." This is the same as the story told by Livix at the inquest. Smith told that the coroner was related above. The coroner's jury ordered that Mrs. McDaniel and Livix be held for examination. The coroner was three years old, she has several children. Macedonia, Feb. 17.—In the preliminary hearing of Mrs. Barney McDaniel, the prosecutor, with the murder of the husband of Mrs. McDaniel, very strong evidence that the murder of the husband they were bound over to the grand jury without bond by Justice Rayburn. VANDERWILT EXONERATED. Ex-Auditor of Marlon County is Found Not Guilty. Knoville, Feb. 18.—Ex-Auditor G. W. Vanderwilt, indicted and tried on a charge of forgery, in that he was accused of tampering with the election returns so as to bring about his own election, was yesterday declared not guilty, a jury of twelve men completely exonerating him from the charge so far as it relates to the election returns from Lake Prairie township. Another indictment stands against the ex-auditor relating to the returns from Summit township. He was indicted for the same reason this term, however, because of the impossibility to select an unprejudiced jury. Nothing of a sensational character developed during the trial of the case. The defense spent considerable portion of its time in proving the generality of the indecisions and this it is believed did more than any other one thing to secure his acquittal. Scores of witnesses testified to having known Vanderwil for years and all spoke of him in the highest terms. But a short time though five are said to have held out for conviction.

Pe-ru-na is a Catarrhal Tonic Especially Adapted to the Declining Powers of Old Age. The Oldest Man in America Attributes His Long Life and Good Health Mr. Isaac Brock, of McLennan county, Texas, has attained the great age of 141 years. He is an ardent friend of Furuna and speaks it in the following terms. Mr. Brock says: "After a man has lived in the world as long as I have he ought to have found out a great many things by experience. I like the things I have found out to 'One of the things I have found out to my entire satisfaction is the proper remedy for salutions due to fire. PE-RU-NA FOR the climate of the country. "I RELY UPON PE-RU-NA FOR ALL CATARRHAL DISEASES." "For 114 years I have withstood the changeable climate of the United States. During my long life I have known a great many remedies for coughs, catarrh and diarrhoea. I had always supposed these affections to be caused by the cold, but fifteen years I have been reading Dr. Hartman's books and have learned from them one thing in particular: That these affections are the same and that they are properly called catarrh. I have found the remedy, Peruna, I have found it to be the best, if not the only reliable remedy for these affections. It has been my stand-by for many years and I attribute my good health and my extreme old age to this medicine. "It exactly meets all my requirements. It has to come rely upon it almost entirely for the many little things for which I need medicine. I believe it to be especially valuable to old people, although I have no knowledge as good for the young." —Iasco Brock A New Man at 79. Major Frank O'Mahoney, West Side, Hannibal, Kahniol, writes: "I am professionally a newspaper correspondent, and I watched the growing power of the Peruana plant from its incapacity in the little log cabin, through its gradations of success up to its present establishment in Columbus, where I conclude that merit brings its fury." "Up to a few years ago I felt no need to test its medicinal potency, but lately when my system needed it, my Peruana relieved itself. In years ago I weighed 210 pounds, but fell away down to 168 pounds, and besides loss of flesh I was subject to stomach troubles, indigestion, loss of appetite, insomnia, and my entire system out of order. During some months I gave Peruana a fair trial, and it rejuvenated my whole system. I feel thankful therefore, for although 79 years my entire system was a young man." - Major Frank O'Mahoney.

CONSUMPTION ```markdown ``` FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 20 BAKERS' UNION GIVE "SMOKER" Swail Evening Enjoyed by the Local Bakers and Their Friends at the Trades Assembly Hall. The Sunny African Company Make a Decided Hit with Audience in their Minis- The Bakers and Confectioners union gave an entertainment at the assembly hall Saturday evening, February 7, and was one that will be long remembered by all those present. The affair was not given behind closed doors, but was open to all of the craft, whether members of bakers union or not, in fact special invitation was extended to all the bakers of the city to be present. To add to the pleasures of the evening the Sunny African Co. under the leadership of George Lee, gave one of the best entertainments that has occurred at the assembly hall in a long time. Among the selections rendered by the musicians all of which were enthusiastically received, was, "I got Mine," by A. H. Lee; "My Gal from Boston Town," by G. W. Lee; "May be," by Chas. Tolliver. Bert Williams and Lawrence Morgan are experts with the guitar and mandolin and the way they played while the other boys sang (and occasionally danced) added wonderfully to the evening's amusement, but Williams and Morgan while artists in their line, were not ahead of Joe Brown at the piano or Thomas Jefferson as an impersonator. George Lee and John Phillips, the "aged darky delineators" in the sketch "Going Back to Arkansaw," was well rendered. In fact the entertainment by the Bakers assisted by the colored boys, was good all the way through.
