The spirits of a young man were considerably dampened on a recent Sunday evening while he was out walking with a young lady. The evening was rather cool, and the girl was very lightly clothed, so thinking to add to her comfort, the young man took off his coat and placed it about her shoulders. As they walked along he kept thinking of his gallanty, liking himself to self-Ardagan, Sir Walter Raleigh and various other cavaliers, until he heard a passing woman say to her companion: "I'm. That's all we're good for—to have men hang their coats and hats on us." EDITORIALS. GOV. CUMMINS' POSITION. On last Saturday the republicans held their county convention. There was very little interest locally, as there was no contest to settle, but the most interest was to learn the attitude of Governor Cummins in regard to the tariff, trusts and other national questions, as some of the would be republican leaders and even some newspapers have hinted that the governor was receding or weakening from the Iowa idea, as it is called, especially after he was been invited by the president to Washington for consultation and the meeting of the leading republicans. But last Saturday he uttered the key note of the republicans of Iowa. There is to be no backward step. We believe as we think, the majority of the Iowa republicans believe that our tariff laws should be changed to meet the present condition of our country, its progress and its development. If the tariff on certain articles affords a shelter or seek to foster or build up trusts, such tariff duties should be changed. Governor Cummins idea is very popular, especially in the West, and we hope to see him nominated as Roosevelt's running mate. ALBIA NOTES.

The death angel came to the home of Rev. James Patterson, at 1521 Maple street, and took his loving wife, Mrs. Emeline Patterson. Her death came as a surprise to all, for she had returned home from work that evening, March 4, and was talking with her husband in regards to the best method to finish paying for their home; after their plans had been agreed on they retired for the night. At 12 o'clock she awoke her husband and asked him to come and hear the beautiful singing on the other side of the river, and gave her husband a charge to never work any more in the coal mines, but to go and preach the gospel; she soon expired of heart trouble. She was born 55 years ago in Richmond, Va., and married Rev. Patterson Nov. 12, 1865, and they have lived together ever since.

GALLAUGHER SENTENCED Judge Byington Doubles Against a New Trial and Gives Her Fifteen Years in the Penitentiary—An Appeal Will Be Taken to the Supreme Court. Iowa City, March 17.—Mrs. Ellen Gallaugher is now confronted with the bars and stripes of the state penitentiary. Judge Byington yesterday morning overruled her application a new trial and handed her to fit imprisonment. Her attorney says he will appeal the case at once and will endeavor to have his client released on bonds. Mrs. Gallaugher's sentence is due to alleged intimacy with Charles Holada, who, when she was being tried for the murder of her husband, witnesses stand and swore that he and the defendant had been criminally intimate and jointly plotted the murder of her husband. He claimed she acted in the murder, in all their melee. Mrs. Gallaucher was acquitted of the murder charge but was re-arrested on a charge of perjury. She had been accused of murder and had entirely false and denied that they had been criminally intimate. Meantime Holada was convicted of murder on his own confession as stated above, and she was acquitted of the jury that tried Mrs. Gallaucher for perjury, found that she had not been shown to be guilty of murder but that she had sworded Holada. This occasioned some surprise, as Holada's story had been marked by a manifest disposition to paint Mrs. Gallaucher in the blackest possible light and he was clearly caught in contradictory statements.

Without Change of a Letter the Colombian Measure Passes That Body. ONLY FIVE VOTES AGAINST Democrats Keep Up Fight on the Treaty Unite the Final Rule on Taking—Senator Morgan Yielded Gracely at the End. Washington, March 18—Without setting an "i" or crossing a "t," even without changing a single punctuation mark, the senate yesterday voted to ratify the treaty with the republic of Colombia for the construction of an athisman canal. The vote for ratification was 73 in the affirmative and 5 in the negative. The senate was 5 in the negative. The long-awaited announcement, so that only the senators themselves and a few confidential employees were present. All the senators announced themselves, as gratified to their long-awaited announcement, none of them manifested their appreciation by cheers or hand clapping. Senator Money offered a substitute for the fourth article of the treaty, which he said would be part of the United States to increase its territory at the expense of South or Central America. The substitute offered by Senator Money was agreed to be without mentioning south or Central America, it reiterates the American doctrine of non-interference with the affairs of the American people, the view of Mexico that point, and pledged this country to attempt no acquisition of Colombian territory. Deleted, 51 to 27. Senator Morgan provided an agreement providing that the treaty should not take effect until it had been approved by the congress. Mr. Daniel spoke in advocacy of this provision. Senator Morgan surprised the senate by refraining from presenting any more individual amendments and by presenting all of the fifty which he had written to the senate, and them with the portions of the text of the treaty which he had not changed as a substitute for the whole agreement. He did not demand a roll down, nor was it a vote almost unanimously. As a few minutes past 5 o'clock Sir Morgan took the floor to take the last of his long series of speeches in the House, with unanimous agreement he spoke for an hour in order to confine himself to the time and to make the points he desired to address. He advanced. He read deliberately but in firm voice, often digressing in order to emphasize a point. He stopped short at the expiration of the minute, the viceholder Cullom, chairman of the committee on foreign relations took the floor. He also read his speech from manuscript, presenting a careful argument for ratifying the treaty and for construction of the canal. The roll was then called, resulting 73 for the treaty to 5 against. FRATERNAL INSURANCE WINS. St. Louis, March 20—In the United States circuit court of appeals an opinion was handed down by Judge Thayer in the case of the Supreme Council Royal Arcanum vs. Anna T. Taylor, which is remanded with instructions that the plaintiff is not entitled to recover. The decision will be of interest to fraternal organizations and members insured against death in these organizations. Anna J. Taylor is the widow of Gorgeous, 1400 years old, a member of the Royal Arcanum, Arapphope lodge of Denver. He was insured for $3,000 in 1891, and died in November, 1900. Payment of the insurance certificate was contested on the ground that he had not paid the monthly assessment of the insurance certificate of that month, and was therefore suspended according to the by-laws. The collector failed to pay Taylor's assessment for October, as he had been in the habit of dots when over-earned by Taylor's days later, just before Taylor's death, it was refused on the ground that under the by-laws Taylor was under suspension. Mrs. Taylor recovered judges' orders, the supreme council, which appealed. Judge Thayer, writing the opinion, says the question at issue is to determine whether the supreme council was cognizant of the practice of the court of Taylor after he was delinquent and whether it ratified such practice by accepting the delinquent's assessment in violation of its by-laws. He finds nothing in the evidence to warrant a conviction, and remanded, with instructions to the trial court to instruct the jury that the plaintiff is not entitled to recover. RELIGIOUS ORDERS MUST QUIT Paris, March 20.—The vote in the chamber of deputies gives definite form to the present policy of the government to terminate the existence of the university and substitute a system of governmental schools. The principle of this change was formulated under the premiership of M. Waldeck-Kosseau, but its actual effect was less than the premier. The law voted yesterday is very brief, simply refusing authorization to teach to all the male religious teaching orders. The effect of this law is to reduce the pale of the law and their further existence is through sufficiency. There remains to be determined the time the orders will be allowed to wind their affairs and terminate their work. Many of the orders, anticipating the chamber vote of yesterday, have already complied with the order. It is expected that a few months will almost suffice to execute the changes. New Capital in Missouri. Jefferson City, Mo. March 20.—The senate has passed a resolution submitting an amendment to the constitution for the levying of a tax of four cents for five years to be used in the building of a new capital. It is estimated that the tax would be $3,000,000. Several days ago the house defeated a five cent levy for the same purpose. Governor Dockery has signed the Stubbs bill, prohibiting the giving away or selling of cigarettes to minors and an emergency clause and will go into effect in ninety days. BIG MAJORITY FOR TREATY. Reciprocity Measure is Ratified by the Senate by Vote of 50 to 16. Washington, March 20.—After ratifying the Cuban reciprocity treaty the senate adjourned she die yesterday at fifteen minutes past 5 o'clock. Practically the entire day was spent behind closed doors in executive session. Most of the time was devoted to consideration of the Cuban treaty. Several speeches were made in opposition to the treaty and one in favor of it and then promptly at the hour agreed, 3 o'clock, voting beaten. Roll calls were had on a number of amendments and the treaty itself was adopted by a vote of 50 to 16, more than three-fourths vote, whereas, only two-thirds vote was necessary to secure a ratification. Forher of Louisiana, Berry and Carmack spoke in opposition to the amendments of North Carolina supported it. On conclusion of Mr. Simmons' speech voting began. The committee on foreign relations announced through Senator Cullom its chairmanship of the meetings in addition to those already recommended by the committee. The first of these was the amendment increasing the rate of reduction on four, corn meat and corn imported into the United States. Senator Nixon spoke yeas in support of an amendment along these lines, and Senator Burton perfected the amendment. As offered it provided for a reduction of 40 per cent but the committee modified the amendment to provide for a reduction of 30 per cent. The other amendment adopted by the committee was suggested by Senator Bacon, and fixed a uniform reduction in the amount of goods imported into Cuba. The only aye and no vote taken on the committee amendments was on the amendment adopted some time ago by the Senate. The committee beet sugar republican senators providing against further treaty reduction of the duty on sugar imported into the United States for the next five years, and the amendment adopted by the Senate was called for on this amendment, and it was sustained by a majority of 22 votes, the vote being 41 for the amendment and 22 against it. A division was made between the crates. The other committee amendments, including those accepted today, and the amendment making the approval of the entire congress necessary, treat effective, then were adopted. After the committee amendments had been accepted the democrats offered a number of amendments, but they were all rejected. One of these amendments provided for the striking out of article six of the treaty, which makes specific declaration against the granting of any concession of American tobacco to the United States, left just as it was when the treaty was sent to the senate. The amendment to strike out article six was offered by Senator McEney, as was also an amendment to the admission of American rice into Cuba free of duty. Senator Foster presented an amendment providing that the treaty shall not go into effect until the amendment to the clusion laws of the United States, but it, like the McEney amendment, met defeat. Senator Newlands withdrew his amendment authorizing the United States to enter the union and become a state thereof, but gave notice that he would renew it when the question of approving the treaty should come up in the next regular session. MONEY ASAILS BOOSEVELT. Calls Him Not President of America, but President of the Black Belt. Washington, March 19.—The race question again was discussed in the senate yesterday. Mr. Money spoke for two hours, his remarks having direct reference to the action of the senate on the question of the senate, postoffice. Mr. Money explained at the outset of his remarks that if he could secure unanimous consent for leave to print he would not take up the question. Mr. Money explained that of the senate seemed to be that remarks not delivered should not be spread in the record. He thereupon proceeded, and delivered himself of the remarks. He then stated, in the course of his remarks that Mr. Roosevelt was not the president of America, but the president of the "black belt." At times he was assigned by Messra. Foraker and Spooner. He declared that of all the appointments made in Mississippi none have given such general disgust as those made by this administration, and he said the president had raised the question of social equality of the negro, but there never could possibly be any difference. "There is a race prejudice. In the south," he said, "and I thank God that there is." The prejudice against the negro, he asserted, is not local, but prompted by a universal, world-wide sentiment. Western Trip by Cleveland. Princeton, N. J., March 17—Ex-President, Grover Cleveland has completed arrangements for an extended trip through the western states.

The full details of the trip will be the first time for many years that Mr. Cleveland has visited the west. Guest—"Walter, bring me a beef steak. A real large one, as my eyesight is very poor." Happy Homes One of the essentials of the happy home of to-day is a fund of information as to right living and the best methods of promoting health and happiness. With proper knowledge, each hour of recreation, of enjoyment, and of effort may be made to contribute to that end and are of not less value than the using of the most wholesome foods and the selecting of the best medicinal agents when needed. With the well-informed, intelligent and skilled practitioners, and while the importance of cleaning the system effectually, when billions or constipated, has long been known, yet until within recent years it was necessary to resort to oil, salts, extracts of herbs, barks and other cattaracts which were found to be objectionable and to call for constantly increased quantities. Then physicians having learned that the most excellent laxative and carminative principles were to be found in certain plants, principally in the leaves, the California Fig Syrup Co. discovered a method of obtaining such principles in the form of plants with plants that are pretreating liquids in the form most acceptable to the system and the remedy became known as—Syrup of Figs—as figs were used, with the plants, in making it, because of their agreeable taste. This excellent remedy is now rapidly coming into universal use as the best of family laxatives, because it is simple and wholesome and sweetens the system effectually without disturbing the natural functions and without unpleasant after effects and its use may be discontinued when it is no longer required. All who would enjoy good health and its blessings should remember that physicians and parsons well-informed approve and recommend and use and which they and their little ones alike enjoy, because of its pleasant flavor, its gentle action and its beneficial effects. Syrup of Figs is for sale by all reliable druggies, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, in original packages only, having the name of the remedy—Syrup of Figs—and the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package.
