Nickerson, of the Second Baptist Church, was Married Sunday Night (Special to Bystander.) Marshalltown, Iowa. 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. He is one of the best educated young men in the colored ministry of the state, and is a leader in the advancement of his race. Rev. Nickerson will take his bride to Pella, where both will enter the Central University of Iowa, the former to complete a course begun in the Roger Williams University, of Nashville, Tenn., and obtain a degree. They leave for Pella this evening. Rev. Nickerson will still have charge of the church here also at Saylor.

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.

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.

Are Daily Receiving Large Shipments of Piano, Piano Players and Organs from Their Factories, Which Are the Largest of Their Kind in the World. The great number of these elegant instruments that are $ \mathrm{s o l} $ every month in Des Moines and all over Iowa and the fact that this number is steadily increasing should be sufficient evidence of the real merits of the New Scale Kimball pianos. We have not mentioned our piano player very often in our advertisements because we could not fill our orders as fast as received. 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.

AT BED TIME I TAKE A PLEASANT HERB DRINK RN-GROSBY'S MEDAL OUR WHAT MAKES THE MAN. HUSBAND IS DEAD. 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.
