Among the successful stories which have recently been enjoyed by Record-Herald readers are "Graustark," by B. G.

As it is at present, it cannot be rendered sanitary except by total obliteration. EDITORIALS. It seems as though it is hard for some people in the south to ascertain the President's southern policy, but if they read the letter that he sent to Clark Howell last week they will know his attitude. There is enough in that letter to last Tillman and his followers until they are numbered among the dead. At last there is a president that will draw no color line when we have the qualities, and moreover he is not afraid to let the world know it. The editorial writer of the Daily Register and Leader says: "There will be a miscarriage of justice in Des Moines if Walker is punished for killing Frankelstein, while the man or men who instigated the crime are allowed to escape." Why was Walker kept in jail from the 5th of last August to February without being given a trial? Was it on account of his color or because he had no money? Then during his trial it seems as though the state was very active in employing good attorneys besides the one that is elected to do the prosecution for the state, and it is alleged that the police officials used their utmost efforts to convict Walker. But another year hence and perhaps we will have different men as police officials. If Walker is guilty he should receive the penalty of the law, but we hope that the men that are to administer the law of Justice as it appears on our statute books, and will not let the complexion of a person or the testimony of someone with an ill-repute character convict a person charged with a crime. SERIOUS ACCIDENT. GEO. Calloway, the 14 year old son of Waddy Calloway, was instantly killed last Saturday afternoon at the Agar Packing Co., while working around the shaft of a hoisting machining, his whip that he was using to drive hogs was fastened to his wrist, and in some way it came in contact with the shaft while in operation and his left arm was torn from the body at the socket, while both limbs were torn out at the knees, the severing of the limbs which were caught in the machinery threw the body back to the floor where it was dicovered lifeless. He was a very industrious youth and was attending school and had only begun work that day about 11.00 o'clock. His father is a gardener and lives at 14th, and Railroad Avenue. The funeral service was heft from the Corinthian Baptist church conducted by Rev. T. L. Griffith last Monday. A large number of friends was present.

Hear and Gailor Clash on Race Question Senator and Tennessee Bishop, at the Union League Banquet, digress from the Subject of Washington and Discus Position of the Negro in the United States. Senator Hoar touched on the negro question in referring to a statement in an afternoon paper that were a person in company with George Washington today he would be in bad conditions because the counsel which he gave his countrymen in "76 would be bad counsel now. "And I see that my excellent friend, Secretary Rohr, thinks something of the same way of Lincoln," the senator said. "He says that reconstructions and the achievements which followed the civil war have been a failure. "Now, I do not believe that when Secretary Root goes out of office he will gain a monopoly in the business of thinking for the people in questions of righteousness and liberty. He will not be employed to send news to the great dalles from the Philippines. (Lautegner). Mr. Root thinks that this man has all of us who have reached an awake age have had something to do, has been a failure in relation to the negro. "In the first place, we freed the negro. They do not separate the negro's wife from him, or his children from him, any more; they do not whip women or sell their children; they do not prevent them from working; they do not make it a crime to teach him to read the Bible. Is that a failure? "He has had but forty years. Now, if there is one generation in this world's future, he should or as great a thing would like to invite them or their defenders to show their title. "Look at Harvard. Dear old President Eliot takes no greater delight than in telling of the grand accomplishment of some negro boy who heads his classes. Young Bruce and Lewis graduated there with first honors, and not one classmate knew or cared for the difference in his color in their treatment. This cannot be the failure Secretary Root speaks of. "I know how sensitive our southern friends are on this matter of social equality and companionship, and I may say that it is not wise for the people of the north to undertake to deal rashly or to judge harshly of a feeling so deeply implanted in their bosoms. They know something about it, and while any negro who is a gentleman would be welcome at my table, they would not be allowed any time (aplause). I will not attempt to thrust my judgment in this matter upon the man who has been differently educated. "Time, the great reconcilator, will reconcile them to that, if, in the nature of things and in the nature of man, they ought to be reconciled to it. And if, in the nature of things and in the nature of man, they ought not reconcile them, it will be a sign that they ought not to be reconciled to it and that some of her mode of life for them must be devised." Senator Hoar closed his address with touching tribute to the greatness of the souls of four of the greatest men the south, in his opinion, had produced. "I did not wish to touch upon this question," Bishop Gallor said, in the opening of his address, referring to the negro question. "But the last speaker, in his pleasant tribute to the greatness, has given me the right in goodness, of spirit, to say something on it. "You must remember that the negro has no more sincere friends than those in the south. We know him better than the northerner, and, in all fairness, we doubt whether, as a race, he has any special equipment without the contact of a superior race. It is his insane ambition to gain control of political machinery rather than turn his mind to elevating pursuits of merchandising that has brought upon him much caution and concern. You must recall, in speaking of Booker Washington, and other distinguished negroes, that they are not of pure negro blood. Those of the race who have attracted public attention by their accomplishments are blacks. Bishop Gallor spoke of a recent magazine article which stated that if the white men of the south prevented the negroes marrying white women they would take advantage of the white women in other ways. He defended them such sentiment caused resentment. "The unrestricted political rights granted the negro do not show that all negroes have gained by suffrage," the bishop said. "This is undoubtedly what Secretary Root meant in his expression on this question. Men of single ideas should not be allowed to prejudice those who have sextional questions to settle, and to draw these prejudices into great political questions." In this connection Bishop Gallor spoke of the danger of individualism, and once mentioned President Roosevelt. The mention of the president's name was greeted with continued chatter. The unexpected discourses on the negro question and the plain words by the opposing speakers created considerable of a sensation among the banqueters. They kept the utmost attention to the material, frequently they applauded the sentiments expressed by the speakers. The banquet room was beautifully decorated with the Elbright system of lighting, bright incandescent bulbs being scattered over the tables and outlining the flags and decorations. About 250 club men attended. OPTUMWA Special to Bystander. Mrs. Gordon was hostess for the Idea Wells Reading Circle. The meeting was open at 3 o'clock by the President, Mrs. Z.

After the election of officers was called and each member answered with a Quotation. An elegant lunch was served in tea form and white and pink were the colors used in cake and cream. Next meeting with Mrs. Bradshaw, South Otumwa. DUBUQUE NEWS. Marbac came in with its soft breezes and the sun shining so warm and bright that it makes one feel that spring is at hand. Dubuque is alive with its bustling street cars and busy streets, the windows are decorated in Easter fashion, all go to show that Dubuque is indeed a metropolitan city. The social club has been holding regular meetings and has become quite interesting. The last quarter was taken up with the study of dierant literary authors. The club met last Monday evening with Mrs. Gertrude Davis Evans; after a very intime programme light refreshments were served. The members and friends of the A.

Misses Martie Knox and Fannie Clark were Galesburg visitors Sunday. Well, what do you think, Knoxville is having he stairs renamed and houses numbered. I wonder if she is going to have free delivery?

[It should have read $14,000.00 — Bd.] Mackinook is up to date in one thing if she has part gone over to Button, and that is she has teachers meetings, which is a rare thing now a day in our Sunday School. Miss Margaret Coleman's paper entitled "Pearls of the Twentieth Century" in last week's BYSTAND, under the heading of Club and Club Women, is work of much praise, and should be read by our boys and girls by all means. Being personally acquainted with Miss Coleman for a number of years, we are not at all surprised at the literary ability, and success thereof, for which we must congratulate her on. Let the good work continue, and may more of our young girls and boys follow on suite. Mr. Thos.

The. average of ai samples. tesied shows Iowa coal to have a heat making value of approx! mately 11,000 heat units (a heat unit {s the amount of heat to raise the ten: erature of one pount of water onc ogres). ‘The maximum and ralnimum Fenults were 12.200 and 8,580 heat unit Feapectively. Concurrent tests of an thractte coal. gave 12.500, of foundry ‘coke 12,150 and of Beaumont crude ol 19,000. ‘Chemical teats on Towa and compet tng soft coal show that Towa coal I higher in combustible. material thon Minots and Alabama coals. and but ttle lower than Ohio, Pennsylvania and ‘Weal Virginia coals. Some Towa coals are high in sulphur and others ‘are high in ash, which facts account for dificulties “experienced. in. using them for domestic and steam making purposes. Piqetual use of Towa coals under bol fers for steam making shows that the cost of fuel for producing 1,000 pounds ‘of steam ranges from 15 cents. with Slack at $149 to 25 conts with ump coal costing $2.95 per ton.

In the course of the dobate Mr. Elkins de clared that the republican party had been falge to its solemn pledges in three successive platforms with re: spect to statehood for Arizona, Okla homa and New Mexico, and he sala that it was the first time that party had been guilty of flibustering.

He went on to say: “Hum dreds are coming from my dlstrict alone.

A LARGE MAJORITY of our readers and patrons are the best-paying people, and are sure of Heaven when they die. And on the other hand, we have some of the biggest liars you over saw. They don't do a thing but just rob us out of our time and money. They make the collectors sweet promising lies right along. They are in all classes, from the BIG, STUCK-UP NEGRO Straight Down to the little fellow. Some are principals of the public schools. Some are lawyers. Some are women putting on lots of style, and want to be considered Miss or Mrs. So and So. They have the collector to call, causing him to spend money for car fare besides losing his time. The collector has been their houses so often that these promisers can tell him when they see him a way off, so they send one of their children, or some other one, to the door to lie for them, and say he or she is not in. All this is done because they owe us a few dimes, and are too mean to pay it. And when the collector finally runs them down, they have a number of faults to find.

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 Joel Jørn, 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 compass becomes irregular and the vessel is entangled in a kind of whirpool and throws sasha. --- The Battle Ground of Modern Thought The Chicago Record-Herald has conceived the unique idea of assigning a page of its Sunday edition to the public for the free discussion of important questions of the day. Under the head "The Battle Ground of Modern Thought" an opportunity is offered to the public for the same discussion of all problems engaging the attention of the American people. Writers of ability present their views on subjects not generally treated in the daily press, and Record-Herald readers generally are invited to join the debate. The fairest, most forceful and original contributions are published. The following are a few of the subjects which have been discussed since this department was first established. "Is Blacklisting Within the Law?" "Trusts and the Proper Way to Regulate Them." "Great Peril That Usets Pagan Chins. Liquor Trade and Its Evil Consequences." "Are Free Books Wanted in Public Schools?" "luthumanity to Animals." The Record Herald disclaims any responsibility for the dogmas upheld, the theories advanced or the panaceas advocated. It reserves the right only to preserve order, to keep out personalities and rancor and to see that good temper and cander characterize the discussions.

Dumas' Generosity In his biography of Alexander Dumas Harry A. Snurr says that the imp provident French author, who hated avarice, was once waiting in line for his cloak at a soiree, when he saw a millionaire give a tip of 10 cents to the servant who handed out his palet. Dumas, getting his cloak, threw down a $20 note. "Pardon, sir, you have made a mistake, I think," said the man, offering to return the note. "No, friend," answered Dumas, casting a disdainful glance at the millionaire, "it is the other gentleman who has made the mistake." Guns Cast Into the Sea The armament of Fort Sillem, consisting of two 38-ton and two 18-ton guns, has lately been condemned as usable service. On consideration it was found that the freight of these guns to England would be greater than their present intrinsic value, and that they could not be offered for sale in Malta, as there are not the requisite tools for breaking them up and utilizing their iron and steel. The four guns were consequently thrown into the sea at Ghar-Iddud, near Fort Sillem. Indignation. "Aren't you sometimes a little conscience-strenken when you think of the advantages you take of the public?" "Not at all," answered Senator Sorghun. "Look at the men of genius the public has permitted to starve. Look at t e heroes whose sacrifices are not acknowledged even by a tablet of stone. Any little thing I can do toward getting even with the public gives me sincerce moral satisfaction.—Washington Star. The Actor's Handicap. To a group of friends Ellen Terry once said: "A ting is not like drawing. You make a line. If it is wrong you rub it out at once and make another. With acting that is impossible; there is no altering—it must stand, I often feel as if I must cry to the audience, 'Oh, that is wrong, not as I meant it to be; let me act that sort or sentence over again.'"

Mahonany and White Pine Mahogany 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. HE GOT THE CLOAK. Enterprising Thief Saw Opportunity to Make a Barrel "Billy" Wiel, gambler, is well remembered by many a New Yorker who patronized $18 Broadway in the good old days, when it was the Canfield's of the city. This famous gaming resort was the third building below Twelfth street, east side of Broadway. Its owners were James E. Kellan, Lucen Appleby and Tom Grady. Wiel dealt faro there. One day he stopped before a fur house window in Fourteenth street to admire some cloaks there displayed, and, seeing one much to his liking, remarked to a friend, "I'd give $150 for that," then passed on. That night a man with a bundle rapped at the wicket gate in $18. "What is it?" asked Wiel. "Here's your cloak," replied the stranger, pushing it through the opening. "I heard you say you'd give $150 for it. Fork over the money," The fellow, a noted thief, had stolen it on hearing Wiel's remark.—New York Press. HAD BECOME SECOND NATURE. Buspicions of a Schoolmaster Not Easily Allayed. The old schoolmaster was deeply affected. His scholars, noticing the diapidated appearance of his chair, had presented him with a new one for Christmas. "My dear boys," said the kindly old pedagogue, with tears in his eyes, "I can never hope to tell you how you have made me feel by this token of your love for me. All I can do is to thank you for the sacrifices you have made of your little purses for the sake of my comfort. If you have found me severe at times, I trust you realize that it has always been for your own good. I hope to always have your full confidence, as you have ever had mine." As the old schoolmaster prepared to sit down in his new chair he consciously ran his hand over the seat in search of bent pins. The Smithsonian Institution has published a new edition of Dr. Langley's "Experiments in Aerodynamics" first printed eleven years ago. In summing up, Dr. Langley speaks of the prospects for the future somewhat as follows: Since that time, he says, he has demonstrated that mechanical flight is possible by actually performing it with steel flying machines nearly a thousand times heavier than air, driven by steam. These machines weighed from thirty to forty pounds and flow from a half to three-quarters of a mile at speeds varying from twenty to thirty miles an hour. It is believed by Dr. Langley that the time is now very near when human beings will be transported at high velocities, though perhaps at first under exceptional conditions, such as are demanded in the arts of war rather than of peace. A saltcellar of the spacious times of great Elizabeth has been sold at auction in London for the amazing sum of £3,000. Only a saltcellar! And there is no authentic proof that the lion-hearted ruler of the England of Shakespeare and of Burleigh and the other men of high renown who lived in the latter part of the marvelous sixteenth century ever took salt from this small dish. If such a bit of tableware sells for £3,000, what would be a fair price for a genuine Elizabethan platter big enough to contain a baron of true British roast beef?
