Palmer of Washington, Ia., at present one of the Railroad Commissioners who is a candidate for re-election for his second term. Some of the newspapers of the state is in error when they said that Col. Palmer was asking for his third term which is not true. He was appointed by Gov. Shaw to fill the vacancy of Hon. C. L. Davidson who died March 15 1898 and of course was elected to fill out Mr. Davidson unexpired term, then he filled his full one term and now ask for his second term. The Colonel has made one of the best Commissioners that Iowa ever had, honest, punctual, reliable and reasonable and just in all his dealings with the railroads and the people, his conservative council and judicious decision has made him very strong with the masses. The Colonel in 1861 offered his young life in defence of his country. He was a member of the senate to the General Assembly for several years. We predict that he will be re-nominated by acclimation as he should be at the coming State Convetion. Texas, and a host of friends here and in Decatur county to mourn his death. The remains were taken to Decatur county for burial. The pall bearers here to the depot were: B. W. Garrett, Gov. Cummins pardon clerk; State Senator, C. C. Dowell; J. L. Thompson; Chas. Hepbner; J. J. Coul and W. Weymer The Chicago Broad Ax in reply to an editorial that the BVSTANDER written some time ago says: Never have you seen any better values than we are selling in Men's Fine Tailor Made Suits at the above price.

RECTOR WILLETT HERE Rector Ed S. Willett, one of our De Moines boys, made a visit to our city the past week. Rev. Willett left this city about four years ago to complete his study in the St. John's Theological College in Washington, D. C.; after graduating there he returned to this state and took charge of St. Mary's Episcopal church in Keokuk, where he has been ever since. He is succeeding nicely. They will soon dedicate a Y. M. C. Association building for colored people, the first of such a building in Iowa. The reverend spent several years in the regular army. He married Miss Nettie Clamens and they have a pleasant family. Mr. Willett attended the Episcopal church here last Sunday and assisted Rector J. E. Cathell to conduct the services; perhaps the first colored man to conduct services in this Episcopal church. May success crown Mr. Willett. DuBOIS' NEW BOOK. "The Soul of Black Folk" is the latest production in way of current literature, just published last week by A. McClurg Co., of Chicago.

He condemns our leaders for their errors and ensure some of their public statements. Every reader should procure a copy. For sale at all book stores, price $1.20. ROOSEVELT IN IOWA. Until only a few years ago it was not the custom for the president of the United States to visit over his relm during the time he was president. It was a custom to visit only a few large nearby towns, but custom and ceremony is laid down and the presidents nowadays tries to come in touch with the real life and pulse of the people, that he may the better know and serve his constituents. Even Des Moines, our capitol city and metropolis of the state, has never been honored by a visit from but one president until last week, when President Roosevelt came for a short visit. The other one was General U. S. Grant. Therefore Des Moines was proud of Col. Roosevelt's visit, Iowa was proud, the common masses were proud, as was also the colored people. Greer Springe (white) a young man who was one of the brightest and best friend of the colored race, died from a cancer at the Mercy hospital last Wendnesday, after a very delicate operation had been performed by Dr. Priestly who succeeded in getting the cancer. While Mr. Springer rallied from the operation, yet he could not stand it, as this was the third operation and he had been sick eight months. He was a young man, just 34 years old; born on a farm adjoining ye editor's father's farm in Decatur county, where he was raised. He attended Simpson College, later he attended the Iowa College of Law at Drake University where he graduated three years ago and entered the practice with Mr. Fickle. He was a hard worker, a student of English History, a good speaker and very wealthy. He leaves a mother, one sister, Mrs. Jessie Fear of Wyoming, and a brother, Worth of El Paso, M. H. H. Col.

Brother Thompson, we know that in the majority of cases the truth always hurts, those whose ways are dark, and the actions of Rev. Archiball James Carey, while in your city is further proof that the big Afro-American preachers of Chicago have no regard for the truth, therefore we are justified in claiming that they are dishonest, immoral and tricky. THE EARLY SUMMER FASHION The keynote of the Summer fashions is picturesqueness. The gown of the I BE *season is unlined and made to fall in lines that are graceful and easily adapted to different figures. Linen dresses, made either in simple short blouse style or lavishly trimmed with embroidery and antique lace, are the ultra-fashionable modes of the season. Tucks are used more than ever. All-over lace waists are stylish, and one of the charms of the Summer bodice is the deep cape collar made either of tiny tucks and insertion or all-over lace. One of the most popular fabrics is silk voile. Vellings, dotted, checked and figured in a score of ways, and canvas weaves are used especially for tailored dresses. The ombre or shaded effects in the silks make them wonderfully effective. Hand-work gives the smart touch to the frock of this season, and the newest fancy in embroidery is the rope stitch on heavy, course linen. Among the most elaborate trimming devices are the "Art Nouveau" appliques, artistic designs in cut-out cloth applied upon velvet or silk, or vice versa. The popular pendant ornaments are now made of braids and cords that will withstand washing, and some of the new wash braids are sufficiently soft and pliable to be shaped in fanciful patterns. Buttons are a principal source of embellishment this season, and jewelled ornaments are a feature of the smart gowns—From The Delinator for June. DES MOINES SUMMER CARNIVAL. June 22nd., to 27th, has been decided upon as the date for the Summer Carnival to be held in Des Moines this year, under the same management which conducted last year's festival. Nate Frankel, Alan Dawson, George Cooper, Frank G. Kiest, Charles S. Bradshaw, W. F. Gabrio, W. F. Morgan, Fred A. Brackett, Ed. Millard, J. W. Campbell, George Macartney and a score of other prominent business and professional men are working to make the 1903 Carnival even a greater success than was the last year. The principal attractions will be furnished by the Jabour Circus and Carnival Company, which provided last year's spectacles. A number of them, including the regular circus acts and displays, grand pyrotechnic displays called "A Night No. 47. in Japan" and "Napoleon at Moscow" in which thousands of dollars worth of fireworks are exploded and 200 supernumeraries employed a "World's Beauty Show" and a number of unique exhibitions and spectacles. The carnival will be held on West Fourth street and in the Base Ball Park, as was the one last year, application to be made to the city authorities in a short time for the use of the streets. The carnival will be conducted by the Des Moines Commercial Festiva Association of which Nate Frankel is president. JOHN BROWN'S HOMESTEAD AT AKRON, OHIO. Wanted by Our Race for a National Memorial of Our True Friend and Hero. The historic John Brown homestead an Akron, Ohio, is wanted for a national memorial of "Old Ossawatonic" and appropriately enough the movement is started by a colored man. A convention of the Loyal Legion of Labor, said to be the largest colored organization in the United States, was held at Akron this week to devise some method to raise funds to purchase the property. The house, which is well preserved, is now used as headquarters for the Portage Golf Club, and a portion of the farm has been laidout in the finest golf links in Ohio. The remainder of the farm is leased to "Uselse" Frank Mitchell, an old colored character of Akron, who claims to be 110 years old and born in slavery on George Washington's estate. During the winter he lives in a typical southern cabin on Canal street in Akron, and each summer he raises garden truck on the Brown farm. The actions of that organization is commendable and we trust that the method they adopt to secure the amount of money needed will not require a very long time. We hope that our press and race leaders will take this matter up and see that the homestead is purchased and maintained as a memorial. Institutional Church Church in Chicago. Dr. Ransom had Preached that Evening Against the Polly Shops. An examination of the church showed that the bomb had been placed on the stone doorstep at the southeast corner. When the explosion occurred the lower portion of the frame door was blown inward across the small vestibule of the wall, shattering the plaster and demolishing the collection baskets. The plaster statuette of Fred Douglass was struck by flying pieces of the baskets and the two hands shattered. The inner wall between the vestibule and the auditorium was cracked, and it is feared the pipe organ may have suffered damage. Nearly every window in the south part of the auditorium was broken. It is estimated that the damage will be about $700, without counting the loss of the organ should it be broken. Dr. Ransom said: No arrangements have been made for repairing the damage. We have no money, and will have to raise the necessary funds before the work can be done. The cost of the settlement work is large and our people are poor. I do not mean to drop this crusade. The explosion may have been a warning, permanent demolition of the church not being intended. I do not care what it was. I am going on with the work, and if I live until next Sunday I shall areach against policy again. Meantime I shall not be idle. I hope to arouse our people—sit them up as they never have been stirred before. They must be aroused to an appreciation of the great evil. Then I am satisfied the white people of the city will aid us, and we will be able to stamp out this giant evil, which is taking even the pennies of our people. PROPIT IN THE GAME. It is estimated by men who have made a study of policy that the "writers" take in $28,000 daily. Two drawings are held, and it is estimated that 146,000 persons play daily.

Christian Greenwell declares that he is innocent, and that he has no knowledge of the death of Stanfield. The information contained in the official request for his return to Mexico is meager. No particulars are given to elucidate the question. The position is made under section 10 of the treaty with Mexico, proclaimed by the department of state in 1899. It is the first paper of the kind that has come into the hands of the Iowa officers of the government for service, and may be the kind ever this country under the treaty of 1899. Greenwell has been working in the machinery rigging and wrecking department of the big glucose factory at Davenport to resist resistance when the marshal served the papers on him and brought him to Des Moines. APPEAL HOMESTEAD QUESTION. Hardin County Board of Review Makes Ruling. Iowa Falls, May 7. 7—Appeals will be taken from the local board of review which has just adjourned in settlement of a point at law that is unjudged by the state. The board here was asked in several instances to grant the old soldiers' exemption on the homestead of $800 when the title of property was not owned. The board held that there be no law to justify the granting of the exemption under the circumstances, the claims are not allowed, and appeal to the court will be required when review for adjustment. It is maintained that the attorney general in a recent opinion on this point held that the title of any old soldier's home was vested in his wife's name, but there being no law bearing directly on the subject the board here thought it best to review the case and be master to the county board of review.

The main object is to get more and better services without paying for connections with other lines. Damage by Frost Not as Great as Expected. Do Mosses. May 6—Apples. 10 to 16 per cent; plums. 35 to 50 per cent; cherries. 25 to 50 per cent; peaches 60 per cent; grapes. 10 per cent; gooseberries and currants. 33 per cent; apples and currants. 33 per strawberries. 33 per cent. The above is the damage estimated by Wesley Greene, secretary of the State Horticultural society, to have been sustained by the fruit crop of these reports. Greene makes the estimate from his own observations in this vicinity and from reports he has received from horticulturalists who made observations in various parts of the state. All of these reports are not yet in but a few have been made to form the basis for a fairly accurate estimate. The damage to peaches by the recent frost was only about 25 per cent. Prior to last week peaches had been spring killed by untoward spring weather. Mr. Green stated, that despite these estimates of damage he believed that Iowa would have a very good chance of having a full winter weather conditions continued fairly favorable. Fruit trees throughout the state appeared to be in splendid condition, but the indications were that the crop next fall would be of the "bumber" variety. The trees appeared to have endured the cold weather of the winter, but the warm weather finally came blossomed luxuriously. One fact that lessened the damage of the recent storm was that it was damp. Warm weather finally came blossomed luxuriously. One fact that lessened the damage of the recent storm was that it was damp. This caused the trees to blossom slowly and gave a hardship to the flowers that they would not have acquired if spring had come with flowers and plenty of warm weather. most of the damage occurred in the most of the damage occurred in the southwestern portion of the state, in the lower elevations, and in than in other portions and where the temperature on the nights of frost fell lower. Fruit trees generally throughout the state suffered more in the lowlands than in the highlands. By Mr. Greene is somewhat less than was popularly supposed to have been occluded. One thing may make the danger greater than is estimated, namely: that as a result of the frost the fruit will not set. BLOOD IN GYPSUM WAR. C. J. Crawford of Fort Dodge and C. G. Root of Chicago in Alteration. Fort Dodge, May 6-6. C. J. Crawford, known as a most stubborn opponent of United States Gypsum company, and C. G. Root of Chicago, credit man for the Gypsum combination, became involved in alteration in the offices of the Fort Dodge Phaselands, and became a member, yesterday. The controversy finally terminated in a fight in which Mr. Root was struck several times, and an umbrella carried by Mr. Crawford. Root was blows cut about the head by the blows from the heavy end of the umbrella and his wounds bled profusely, copiously sprinkling the floor with water where the two men were at the time. Mr. Crawford was arrested on an information charging assault and battery sworn out by Mr. Root, and the battery sworn in by Mr. Root, Magowan. Both sides are represented by the best legal talent in Fort Dodge. Allocation occurred at a meeting of the stockholders of the Fort Dodge Plaster company, of which both men are stockholders. The whole difficulty arose over the attempt of Mr. Crawford to enter a room in the stockholders' vantage which Crawford claimed, would be detrimental to his interests as a stockholder. Mr. Crawford recently won a suit in which he asked for an injunction to restrain stockholders from the affairs of the company, in which he is interested, from selling out to the United States Gypsum company. Since that time some bad feeling has existed between Mr. Root and the stockholders of the United States Gypsum company. Fort Dodge, May 6—Articles of incorporation for the new gypsum company, capitalized at $120,000, were filed here yesterday.

LOUIS IN MIDDLE DUDEGON BRITISH DECLARE MONROE DOCTRINE SHE IS READY TO FIGHT Lord Lansdown Says No Nation Can Establish a Naval Base on the Gulf Without War Following - Her Territory Wants. "No Threatened." London, May 7 - Forgive Secretary Lansdown has proclaimed a British Military Doctrine in the Persian gulf and has practically notified the competing powers that any attempt on their part to establish a naval base or fortified post in those waters, means war with Great Britain. "I say with confidence and with British interest, dealing with the subject in the house of lords yesterday, "that we should regard the establishment of a naval base or a fortified port in the Persian gulf by any other power as a threat to our security and we should certainly resist it with all the means at our disposal." Lord Landowsne preceded this emulation of British policy by a review of the situation there as it affected British interests, contested by the French and the Persian gulf was concerned Great Britain held a position different to that of the other powers, both because it was owing to British enterprise and expenditure of life and money that the gulf was now open to the commerce of the world and that the gulf was to India necessitated British predominance in the gulf. Lord Lansdowne's attitude in this matter generally meets with approval, although the answers thereto of the other powers interested in the graffiti on the newspapers here comment on the analogy of the present proceeding which Captain Mahn so strongly recommended to the United States police department. Wednesday Gazette holds that the British motive, namely the protection of the sea route to India, corresponds exactly with the Americans motive in excluding European powers from American affairs, their territory is thereby threatened.

Postmaster General Payne has now received replies from ex-Postmaster General Charles Emory Smith, and the investigation would be well, Postmaster Merritt of this city and Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow regarding the charges made by ex-Cashier, Bob of the office, and by the staff of the institution of papers from the safe of the office of the assistant attorney general for the postoffice department by Mrs. James H. Tyr, wife of the then assistant attorney general, and the master has not progressed further. It has not been presented to the grand jury, and it is generally believed that the investigation has taken action because of lack of proof that the papers taken were government property.

Paris, May 8—The situation throughout the Balkans causes serious apprehension here, but the French foreign office says the conditions are not regarded as being critical and are considered to be largely the result of Turkish intrigue. The situation of France and other powers, acting jointly, that the sultan adopt vigorous measures to put down the Albanian uprising. The powers of the sultan would be done, but the recent dynamite outrages at Salonica and the conflicts between Turkish troops and Bulgarian bands at other points have been in another direction and have permitted a postponement of the steps looking to carrying out the powers' wishes regarding Albania. The United States cable ship Burnside, launched last week at the Heath shipyards, Tacoma, Wash., is by all odds the largest stemship ever constructed in the shipyards, and members of the Chamber of Commerce and the business element of the city were present in large numbers to witness her christening. The vessel is due at Sikra early in the business work on the Alaskan cable. is threatening to adopt radical disciplinary measures against Bulgaria, but the authorities here are fully satisfied with the correctness of Bulgaria's position, and it is asserted here that there is reason to believe that the powers will not permit the carrying out of a radical Turkish policy against Bulgaria. In the meantime, it is the intention of the government here to send a French naval division to Salonica, as a measure of precaution and in order to be prepared for possible spread of the disorder. London, May 8—The British government's attitude in the Balkan crisis may be summed up as being one of passive indifference. It is pointed out at the foreign office here that Great Britain is not bound by any treaties to interfere in behalf of Bulgaria. Although she was chiefly responsible for bringing Bulgaria into existence, Great Britain never undertook the preservation of Bulgaria's interests, though she is pledged to maintain the integrity of the country. The British foreign office also understands that neither Russia nor Austria intend to interfere, unless some unseen issue becomes involved. Thus Turkey seems to have a clear hand, but the British foreign office is inclined to the belief that Turkey will not go so far as to commence hostilities against Bulgaria, but will content itself with minor warfare, with other means than force, secure repatriation for her alleged wrongs. Berlin, May 8.—The German government continues to steadily support the Russian policy at Constantinople, that policy being understood here as a means of marrying Turkey to repress the disorder funds and as representing to Bulgaria especially that not a finger will be lifted to help her should the porte claim it necessary to attack Bulgaria. Fear a Massacre of Jews. Kieffe, European Russian, May 5.—Thousands of poor Jews have from the time that the report that an anti-Semitic crusade is unjustified.

DENSE FOG CAUSED DISASTER Boats Proceeding Cautiously, But Crashed Together Without Warning in Darkness African Colored Women in a Life Boat Were Drowned. Norfolk, Va. May 5—A collision at sea that cost the lives of twenty or more people and the sinking of the Clyde steamship Saginaw by the Old Dominion shipment company's liner Hammersley occurred between Winter Hunter lightship and Fawcock island lightship on the Virginia coast at 4:40 o'clock yesterday morning. Hamilton left New York Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock for Norfolk and the Saginaw departed out of the Virginia coast at 9 o'clock the same night bound from Richmond and Norfolk for Philadelphia. A dense fog along the coast shortest to lightship and while going north this fog at 8 o'clock the Hamilton crashed into the Saginaw's side about 20 feet from the stern. The scene of the collision is about thirteen or four miles off the shore and 180 and 200 miles south of New York and between 125 and 140 miles north of The fog whistles of both vessels were distinctly heard by each other for several minutes before the collision occurred. According Boaz, of the Hamilton ship his ship was about nine miles an hour and the Saginaw about ten. The fog was so thick that objects a ship's length were invisible and when the two crafts hove in sight of each other, how on, there was but a moment's interim before the Saginaw veered, as did the Hamilton, but they had not time to clear each other, and the knifelite steel prow of the south ship the port quarter about twenty feet from her stern, cutting the entire rear of the ship away. The in-rushing water caused the Saginaw to settle rapidly in the stern and the port out of sight of the crippled vessel. Engines, already reversed, were put full steam to the rear and the Hamilton circled to the scene of the wreck, at the same timeowering the collision among the passengers of the Old Dominion ship and the first thought of the Old Dominion ship, but so soon as it was discovered that the ship was uninjured save that some CABLE SHIP BURNSIDE. THE BURNSIDE'S BOW CABLE RIGGING. how plates were stove in, all efforts were directed to the rescue of those on ship When the Saginaw was again sighted her stern was under water and her bow was high in the air. Panic stricken people rushed over her boats and scrambled toward the bow. Life boats were lowered and into the first fifteen colored women were placed, according to Second Officer W. L. Morris, who was in command. The boat was swamped as it struck the water the occupants were thrown into the sea. The boat was lowered and into the second officer and the colored stewardess. The latter died before the small boat reached the Hamilton, more from injuries received by the imminent attack. She had been help up by First Goslie, who sank himself as the small boat from the Hamilton reached them. In the meantime the rush of waters had caused her decks to burst, fastenings with a roar like the report of big guns and tons of freight of all descriptions soon littered the sea. To floating wreckages the struggling people with desperation and many of them were rescued by the boats from the Hamilton. By the time the Hamilton had reached the Saginaw the latter had disappeared beneath the waves, and the topmasts were visible. To these several topmasts were siligned one of whom was the aged carriage S. Tunnell. When he was taken off it was found that he had suffered severe internal injuries. Our Hamilton hovered around the scene of a life-mart more than an hour, but no sign of life could be seen among the mass of floating freight. Two bodies, one of a man and the other of a woman, both clad only in dress, were observed drifting between bales of cotton and cases of goods. Big Embezzlement Charged. Cleveland, May 5 - Emented C.

Declares It In Conflict With Constitu- tion and Therefore Void. Conterville, May 8—Holding the ‘Temple amendment unconstitutional, Judge M. A. Roberts of Ottumwa last evening sustained the demurrer of the Burlington attornoys in the case of McGuire vs. the C., B. & Q. for $2,000 damages. McGuire was a mem- ber of the Burlington Voluntary Re Net agoclation, and accepted the, bene- ‘ts of the association eleven months after his injury in 1901. Howell & Elgin, his attorneys, wiil appeal to ‘the supreme court. Briefly, Judge Roberts held that the effect of the amendment was to enable party to recover twice for tho same injury: ‘once from the association upon his con- tract to which defendant was a party, and once by direct action against the defendant. He held that such a rule Is inconsistent with every principle of the law of damages, the universal rule boing that a party must recover all damages for the same injury against the same party in one action. ‘The court said that while the legislature has power for special reasons, arising from public safety, health or morals to enact a law the effect of which is to mulet a rallway company in extra damages for falling to comply with the same law directly affecting public welfare, yet in such cases double dam- Ages cannot be recovered until after thirty days’ notice, by means of which the railway may save itself extra dam- ages by paying the actual damages. The rule of the Temple amendment is extraordinary in the respects above polnted out. No such rule anywhere pertains to any other persons. Under the federal constitution, the legisla- ture is prohibited from’ passing any act which doprives any person of the equal protection of the laws.
