In our effort to show that we have made wonderful progress in the last forty years, and that we are able to measure arms with the other races of the world, we name Douglass, Bruce and Small, and of the men of today we point to Washington, Chavis, Garnett, Scarborough, Bishop Grant and a score of others, both men and women, with equal prominence. But have you ever stopped to think that every boy you see idleing away his time on the streets instead of going to school, or learning some useful trade, is making history by which we are to be judged? Have you ever stopped to think that the singing and playing of those songs which tend to degrade, will be a part of the history by which we are to be judged (we mean such songs as "Coon, coon I wish my color would fade" and "All coons look alike to me.") If we are dissatisfied with our color and cannot see any good in the race, can we blame the white man for reaching the same conclusion. Did you ever stop to think that there is more stress placed upon the deeds of the bad than upon the acts of the good, when we are judge. Stop and think what you have done for the race, stop and think what you are doing for the race, stop and think what you can do to uplift the race, and then do it! LIGHT AHEAD LIGHT AHEAD. There are a great many who thinks an effort is being made all over this country and the south in particular, to shut the door of hope and opportunity against the race, and that there is but few places where they have equal chances. We know that there is seldom a day passes that we are not reminded that we belong to the dispised race. While there are many who are sowing seeds of dissension; there are also a great host who have and will always be a friend to the race, and are doing much in the way of preparing us with an education that will assist in solving some of the things that are overshadowing our path. We are sure that the Father has better things in store and that there is light ahead for all who will honestly seek it. You can rest assure that the person who will try to undermine race enterprise and talking about those who are encouraging education; are not friends to the race. We are expecting for everyone who believe in the onward march of the race to subscribe for the BYSTANDER. ANOTHER A. M. E. CHURCH WRECKED. On last Friday night the 15, the A. M. E. church at Evanton, Ill., was wrecked by dynamite. The anterior was demolished and the entire front of the church was blown out. The Rev. Daniels, the pastor, had openly approved of the course taken by Dr. Runsom of the Institutional church in Chicago, a few weeks ago, when he preached against the policy shops, is said to be the motive for placing the bomb under the pulpit of his (Rev Daniels) church. This is carrying matters too far, and it does look as though there is a better way of showing disapproval of the position taken by the ministers, than to destroy cunches in this way. No one would ever believe that a christain would do such thing. No man or woman should be contented with the passing of a day in this crisis of the race, without doing something that will inspire some one to do something that will help to develop the race. WOODSON HONORED. Oskaloosa, Iowa, May 21.—(Special.)—For the first time in the history of Negro race in the state of Iowa and for the first time in the history of the state, a Negro has occupied the bench as a circuit judge in the trial of one of his fellow citizens. This honor belongs to George H. Woodson, a member of the firm of Woodson & Brown of this city. During the progress of the trial of the case of Deliahman vs. the C. B. & Q. railway, Judge B. W. Preston was called from the room on business and then came the call for some one to fill the place as judge. Attorney Woodson was chosen and filled the place until the close of the trial. THE CONSERVATOR'S CHANGES. By studying the laws of nature we learn that there is nothing perpetual, so Bro. Wilkins of the Conservator must take that as a bases for making many changes in his attack upon different people. Not many months ago he was saying things that were not very pleasant about some of the ministers in his city; and now you can hardly read an issue of his paper unless he has their cuts or in eulogizing the good work they are doing. Why didst thou change? And only a few weeks ago he told the colored voters to support Carter Harrison, the democrat nominee for mayor, instead of G. Stewart, the republican candidate. He Judge Hanecy, J. M. Smyth and others belong to the lily whites and would not give employment to colored people, also Stewart refused to see a committee when they called to see what his attitude was toward our race, and in last week's issue he had Judge Hanecy cut in his paper and a write up saying what a good friend he was to the colored race. Now if editor Wilkins was a politician we would think he had been promised a good "political plum" for making such quick changes, but as he is not, what caused him to change? He is continually attacking Booker T. Washington. Now Bro. Wilkins don't you think the white press gives us enough unjust criticism without us saying so many things against our people. If we had more men like Prof. Washington, and not so many 2x4 would-be leaders and "political grafters" we would make more progress. It is certainly better to teach our boys and girls how to use their hands as well as their minds skillfully and accurately to make a living by tilling the soil, if they cannot get an office position, then to lose their virtue to make a livelihood by going in dives and resorts, and finally becoming inmates of some penal institution. Rev. Archibald James Carey of Quinn Chapel is of the opinion "that the policy writers or players did not throw the dynamite bomb against Institutional church" and Rev. Archey got so hot in the collar last Sunday while preaching on the Lord and His goodness that he "called Rev. R. C. Ransom a lair."—Chicago Broad Ax. How long will our people support such conduct as this. It is out of place; there are ministers above such. FOUR CONVENTIONS IN DES MOINES the week commencing June 22nd will lead to a one fare railroad rate from any point within 150 miles of Des Moines.

The Summer Carnival, the stat Convention of the Christian Churches of Iowa, the Democratic State Convention and the Khorassan ceremonial will all be held the week of June 22d, bringing fully 10,000 visitors to Des Moines that one week. Correspondence is now being had with the Western Passenger associations and indications are that the one fare round-trip rate will be accured. This will make the week of June 22 the biggest for Des Moines during the entire year. MOTHER'S CONGRESS. At the National Congress of Mothers in session at Detroit, Mich., Mrs Clarence Barrett, of Virginia, made a plea for the elevation of Negro mothers. Mrs. Barrett is a southern woman. WASHINGTON IN CHICAGO "The Negro will make his most enduring progress by laying his foundation carfully, patiently in the ownership of the soil, the exercise of habits of economy, the saving of money and the securing of the most complete education of hand and head and the exercise of Christian virtues. There is nothing new or startling in this. It is the old, old road that all races have to travel which have got upon their feet. Standing to night before this audience, when the very soul of my race is aching and seeking guidance as never before, I say deliberately that I know no other road. If I knew how to find a more speedy and prompt relief and did not point the way at any cost I should be a coward and hypocrite." BIG CROWD HEARS SPEECH. This is Booker T. Washington's solution of the Negro problem. It was the central thought of his address at the Auditorium last night. The theater was crowded to its topmost gallery. Probably a third of the audience was colored people. The other part was composed of the representative white people of Chicago. Two thousand persons who did not have tickets waited an hour in front of the building until the doors were thrown open for general admission at 8:30 o'clock. The line they formed extended four abreast far around the corner into Michigan avenue. Rev. Frank W. Gunsaulus opened the evening with prayer. Chairman James H. Eekels ietroduced Mr. Washington as "the first of his race in this or any other country, in this or any other generation." THOSE IN ATTENDANCE The boxes were occupied by the following persons and their families and friends: D. B. Jones, C. R. Crane, Mrs.Cyrus McCormick, W. J. Chalmers, Franklin MacVeagh, A. C. Bartlett, J. H. Bradley, President W. R. Harper of the University of Chiego, E. E. Prussing, Arthur Caton, A. A. Sprague, Edwin Burritt Smith, Victor F. Lawson, Mrs. Cooney Ward, C. H. McCormick, J. J. Mitchell, H. N. Higinbotham, Frank O. Lowden, Charles Henrotin, G. E. Kieth, Rev. J. G. McClure, Chauney Keep, E. B. Butler, G. E. Adams, Marshal Field, Major General Bates H. H. Kohlsaat, J. Ogden Armour, Commander Wadhams, Mayor Harrison, J. Morton. The above was taken from Saturday's edition of the Coicago Record-Herdal. It is well to say that the auditorium where he spoke will seat over 5000 people and Mr Rickels the chairman was the comptroller of the currency during Cleveland's administration and Rev. F. W. Gunsaulus is one of the most prominent preachers in Chicago and the boxer were occupied by some of the richest and leading financial men not only of Chicago but of the world. What will "Pitchfork" Tillman, Money and others of that type think about such a meeting? There are always two parties to a contract, and yet in a majority of cases but one is expected to carry it out. Morally Certain of It The prosecuting witness, who had a lump over one eye, a black and blue spot under the other, a nose that pointed decidedly awry, and various strips of plaster on his face evidently arranged without any regard to their artistic effect, testified that the defendant had knocked him senseless and then kicked him in the head and face for several minutes. "If he knocked you senseless," asked the police justice, "how do you know he kicked you after you were down?" The witness scratched his jaw and reflected. "I know it, jedge," he replied, "cause that's what I'd a'd to him if I'd got him down—you can bet on that!" A. M. E. Sunday School Convention.

Loop the Loop Man Narrowly Escapes Death at Marshallown Marshalltown, May 22 — Diavolo, the "loop the loop" artist with the Forepaugh-Sells circle, came near losing his life at the evening performance in this city. An improperly adjusted loop he had made the loop and he received a severe scalp wound. Had the rope been a few inches lower it would have caught him in the neck and he would undoubtedly have been heavy, heavy machine, weighing eighty-three pounds, built expressly for his daring act. The momentum necessary to make the loop is gained by descent from the loop and he is forced by heavy machine out of the loop at terrific speed.

The chief point raised in this case was whether or not the intoxicating liquor law as revised in the code of 1897 confused in any way with the old statute. Prior to the revision of the code it was held that compliance with the law made a saloon keeper from civil liability. It was urged, however, that as the reviis ion among which was a clause to the effect that saloon keepers would be liable for giving or selling alcohol, the provisions of this chapter," compliance with the mulct law would operate as a defense. Without going deeply into this question the court holds that in this case the defendant had complied with self of his defense under the mulct law, even if he had one. In the pleadings and the evidence it was shown that the defendant had complied with provisions of the law and the court says: "By operation of law such allegations are denied by the plaintiff with out the filing of a reply, and therefore the defendant was on the defendant." The court holds that the defendant must show that liquor was sold at his place at such time, in such a manner and by such a person as is permissible in the law. The trial court submitted to the jury the question whether or not the defendant had in fact complied with the mulet law and this ruling is held by the court. It was urged by the defendant that to cause or contribute to an habitual condition of intoxication does not give rise to any liability. But the supreme court holds otherwise and says that the defendant must or should be taken into consideration in measuring the damage. "A condition of habitual intoxication," says the court, "does not continue without such continuance is required." The sales of liquor, and if the only reason why plaintiff's husband did not furnish her support was a condition of habitual intoxication then plaintiff may recover the damages resulting from the conditions by reason of defendant's act." The court also holds that injury to the wife as the results of threats of bodily harm by a drunken husband can properly be taken into consideration in assessing the damages against the husband who caused the husbands drunkenness. STREET RAILWAY AT FAIR. Management Concludes Negotiations Relative to Line Into Grounds. Des Moines, May 22.—At a meeting of the executive committee of the state department of agriculture the contract was signed up with the Des Moines company, the right to construct its tracks and put up a passenger depot on the fair grounds. The company is given right to occupy the grounds of the company. The chise is not an exclusive one. The company will at once begin constructing the new passenger depot, which costs one costing upwards of $3,000. The executive committee visited the fair grounds and was greatly pleased with the improvements in evidence there. The new walk to be built has been built to a height of 1,200 feet of walk twelve feet wide has been built this spring, reaching from the proposed street car passenger depot to the stock pavilion and north to the grand stand. Considerable has also been laid in the vicinity of the machinery and speed departments. F. D. Rennison of the Iowa Seed company was employed by the committee to supervise the construction of the new green house. This will begin next week. Work will begin next week. DIED TO ESCAPE DISGRACE. Kossuth Postmaster Was Short in His Accounts. Muscatine, May 19.—It develops that Postmaster Hedges of Kossuth, who was killed Thursday afternoon in an explosion which killed his more than two life rather than face a charge of embezzlement. The postmaster's plan to throw the blame for his shortage upon a supposed highwayman was cleverly of his office. The government of his office was evidently deemed a necessity by him to prevent the discovery of fraud, on investigation of his accounts. When the books of the office were rewritten, however, the government experts had no difficulty in unraveling the plot. Last Monday, Hedges was found, seemingly unconscious, near the postoffice, building, and upon being revived, reported that he had been taken into custody by his charge, and beaten into insensibility. An inspector was detailed to look into the robbery and arrived just after the dramatic suicide. Killed at Colfax. Colafx, May 20—George McNelly, aged 11 years, met with a terrible death at the crossing of the Colafx Northern tracks west of the depot. He attempted to pass between the railroad cars and the coal cars, and was caught between the bumpers and mangled in an awful manner. No blame is attached to the railroad company, as the child has been repeatedly warned and driven away. The accident was discovered until some time after the accident occurred. He lived but a few minutes after being removed. May Be Fatally Injured. Osakalao, May 20—Mrs. Jessie Oss born was very seriously and perhaps fatally injured in an accident on North Carolina Highway 11. Mr. and Mrs. H. F. Budd, was out driving in a light buggy. The tear ran into a sand screen and in avoid ing the screen the vehicle was run into a pile of sand and overturned in the ground and sustained several in injuries from which she was unconscious a number of hours. She is still in a very precarious condition. Cambridge Store Robbed. Cambridge, May 20.—The drug store of J. C. Thomas was robbed by some one entering by opening the front door with a skeleton key. Only a small amount of money was secured. Three others were robbed. Three other business houses in Cambridge have thus been opened in much the same manner during the last year and robbed of goods and money. NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL Des Moines, May 22, 1903. Governor Gummins has issued a proclamation, offering a reward of $890 for the arrest and conviction of the slayer of Arthur Mead of West Liberty. Mead was killed by an unknown man the morning of May 14. He was slain in the restroom of Thomas McCarthy, the restaurant, who placed an 1 o'clock in the morning, commanded those within to throw up their hands and $\$bobbed the restaurant. Mead did not at once attempt the order to throw up his hands and was shot and killed. The robber was masked, and while the citizens of West Liberty made a vigorous sequestration, the council ordered Mayor J. E. McIntigh, Marshal R. J. Wiley and the members of the council united in asking the governor to offer a reward. Allen K. Riddle, better known as Koch Riddle, is in the city jail on the charge of embuzzing $600 belonging to the United States Express company. Riddle was formerly employed as night clerk for the company in this city and is shown in the image. He appropriated funds of the company to his own use. Riddle is a young man who has lived for years in the city. The express company has been waning, but he is one of the city and according to his own story has been in Kansas City, in Texas and Arizona. He says he was employed in different places as a waiter and that he joined the local waiters' union there. It is declared on the best authority possible—the people who have seen and talked with them—that the Rock Island engineers now working in the western part of the state are making surveys for the straightening of the tracks in that section of the state. One survey which has been finished is of a line directly from Avoca to Minden, cutting off the huge curve that runs from the town of Shelby. This cut off will leave the town of Shelby without any railroad. However, the Great Western that is now building will pass within a very short distance west of Shelby, cutting off the Shelby curve to the town is the one which leaves the present Rock Island line at Avoca and swings down to Council Bluffs in an almost straight line, cutting out the towns of Shelby, Minden, Neola, Unger, now a new route for more than twenty miles. Still another proposition, which is said to be even more favorably considered by the Rock Island officials, is a survey which will carry the line from the town of Shelby to Council Bluffs. This would reduce the distance fifteen or more miles between the two cities. The supreme court upheld a 'tax ferret contract in Potwatttam county in which the county agreed to pay 50 per cent of collections. The case was on a contract made before the new law limiting fee to 15 per cent went into effect. The contract was not made to the county only to discover taxes but collect them. A tax-payer tested the case in the courts, and it is held that there was nothing to show that the percentage allowed was unreasonable. Allen Koch Riddle, formerly night clerk of the United States Express company in Des Moines, was sentenced to two and one-half years' imprisonment, and he was sentenced to having pleaded guilty to embezzlement from his employers. When asked if he had anything to say, he responded that he had not and sentence was waived. The court ruled that indemnities were returned against the indemnities, but on his pleading guilty to the embezzlement charge the two larceny indemnities were dismissed by the court. The right clerk at the Rock Island station for the United States Express company and while there employed took the money belonging to the company Complaint is coming to state officials over the law passed by the last general assembly which permits the state fish commissioner to give permits to persons to seine the rivers and take out fish from the waters to regard as good. The complaint is that deputy wardens are engaged in seining out these fish at a season when the spawn is easily destroyed. George Oakden, former fish commissioner, states that the lake at Lake Okoboji two bushels of spawn were dragged out in a seine, and of course included all kinds of fish. The intent was to permit seining so that sucker and other such fish could be cleared from the rivers and lakes. The state board of health has elected Dr. J. A. McKiven of Charlton president to succeed Dr. Adams. It is customary for presidents to rotate among members, to be re-elected secretary, and commenced his nineteenth year in that position, having been re-elected by year. Prof. Kinney of Drake University has been chemist to succeed Prof. Macey. Ell Grimes was re-elected bacteriologist. "The fixing of damages to a man's estate because of his death is, after all, more or less, a matter of guessing. The writer in instructing the jury in the case of Rose De Tar, administratrix, vs. the Wabash Railroad company, in the federal court, and the twelve men who were involved in the murder for several hours, returned a veerling awarding damages to the plaintiff in the sum of $3,500.

Young was called upon for a speech, the guests expected that he would simply content himself with a stereotyped expression of appreciation of the compliment, and after a somewhat inocent excuse the general rose to the occasion. "Gentlemen," he beep, sweeping his eyes over the length and breadth of the banquet board, "I hope you will pardon my expression of surprise. I have been expected to expect to speak on this magnificent occasion. But, gentlemen, if I had expected to say anything, I should have spoken somewhat as follows—" and at this juncture one arm of the old veteran plunged into the crowd, and he prepared a carefully prepared speech, which he proceeded to read. The apology for his unpreparedness, and the evidence of the palstaking way in which he dressed his remarks in advance were too minor, and he was forced to suspend his remarks until the uproar was over. A Missouri clergyman objects to the slobbering praise of the undeserving dead at funerals, and says that only the truth ought to be spoken. On this, he comments: "If the Missouri minister who threatens to tell the truth at funerals carries out his threat, there will probably soon be a funeral at which he will figure otherwise than as the preacher."

MONEY LENDER. Count Cassini Gaya That te the Cause Rana taEdeh Saiidacre. © Washington, Muy 19—Count’ Cas- ‘aini,,the Russian ambassador, in con- -versation yesterday with’ a representa- te of the Associated Press, relative to the Jewish troubles in Russia, sald: “Thore ix in Russia, es In Germany ‘and Austria, « feeling aguinst certain of the Jews, The reason for this un- frlendly attitude {s found in tho fact that the Jews will not work in’ the fields or engage in agriculture, | ‘They prefer to be money ienders. Give a Jew a couple of dollars and he be- ‘comes a banker and money broker. In this capacily, he takes advantage of the Russian peasant, who he soon has in his power and destroys. It is when ‘the patlence of the peasant is destroy- ed that a conflict arises. Ordinarily, the Russian {s a very patient person, but it {g only matoral that he should entertain a feeling of resentment for ‘the one who has wrought his ruin. “Emperor Nicholas I sought to help the Jews by ordering the establish: ‘ment of agricultural colonies in south- ‘ern Russia, hoping to induce the Jews to engage in agricultural pursuits in- stead of money lending, but the effort was unsuccessful, nor have other pro jects establishing Jewish states been Successful. ‘The situation in Russia, 0 far as the Jew is concerned, {# that of the peasant against the money lender, instead of the Russian against the Jew. ‘The Jew ruins the peasant, with the result that conflicts occur when the latter have lost all: thelr worldly poskessions and have nothing to live upon. There are many good Jews in Russia and they are respect ed. Jewish genius 1s appreciated in Russia and the Jewish artist 1s hon. ored. Jews also appear in the financial world in Russia, ‘The Russian govern: ment affords the same protection to the Jews that it does to any other of its citizens, and when a riot occurs and Jews are attacked, the officials | immediately take steps to apprehend those who began the riot and visit severe punishment upon them. In the past, Russians have been punished ‘severely for attacking the Jews. But, notwithstanding these attacks, the Jews continue to do the very things that have been responsible for the troubles which involve them.” Continuing the conversation, the ambassador sald: “The. Russiah readily assimilates ‘with the people of all other races, and if he cannot assimilate with the Jew, it is apparent that the fault must ie withthe Jew ad, nat, with tbe, Ras sian.” ‘The ambassador's attention was called to the statement contained in press dispatches from St. Petersburg today to the effect that a ministerial decree had been issued, forbidding the Jews to arm themselves for their own protection. “I have received no in formation regarding the nature of the decree,” he said, “but I know that when the facts are made known it will appear differenuy and will be shown that the decree does not dls criminate against the Jews. The fact ‘that Lieutenant General Raaben, the governor of Bessarabia, has beer called to.

Whenever the preacher made a point the old gentleman nodded vigorously in approval. This was very encouraging to the not overconfident person and after the services he inquired who the man was.

A young girl marries in the hope for the future, the widow to forget the past. A critic is a moral butcher who will cut into, and cut up, and cut out anything. There is a lot of incense burned on the altar of love that goes up in smoke. Text is the art of making people think they are right when you know that they are all wrong. I admire the fellow who succeeds in borrowing all that he wants. He has the nerve that converts itself into hard cash. They say that a giraffe's tongue is long enough to go around a woman's waist, but a woman's tongue will waste even more than that. When women win, but the man who stands for it gathers the foggy incense to himself and smiles a self-satisfied, hard cash smile. When a woman speaks of her husband as being such a domestic man you can gamble on it that he is always hanging around when he is not wanted, and poking his nose into everything. When a man proposes to a girl he should be extremely modest. A woman likes to think it a lovely piece of condescension on her part to accept dying for him (though she may be dying for him on account), his auto or his yacht—but what on earth am I talking about, anyhow?). Kate Tesh Marr. MEMORY. You are not only what you are now, you are everything you have ever been. Whoever lives entirely in the present does not know the meaning of sympathy. Your childhood is in you; your youth is in you; every hour of your life is still being lived. Consider, then, the importance of the present time, which in its turn shall form a part of the future. Bring back your youth—it is thus you shall understand youth, with its laughter, its gayety, its enthusiasm. Lives again your childhood—it is thus you shall understand the intensity of every childish joy and trouble. Bring back your hours of trial, the dark hours of suffering, and no one shall come to you in vain for consolation. Somewhere in your life the experience has been that shall give you a fellow feeling for every happiness, for every sorrow. Among my fellow men I see too many who are prisoners of the present. They shut themselves out from the past. Now and then the memories force themselves upon them. They sigh and shake their heads and turn away. Chinaman Wins Yale Honors. Bartlett G. Young, this year's president of the Yale University Banjo club, is of Chinese parentage, though born in this country. His father, Dr. Young Wing, graduated from Yale in 1854 and later married a Miss Kelogg, member of a prominent Connecticut family and a famous beauty in her day. He lived in Hartford for many years, being on intimate terms with Mark Twain, Charles Dudley Warner and other notable literary persons, and only returned to his native country on the death of his wife in the age of 18. His boy birth Dr. Young was a special envoy of China in Washington, and therefore the young man is held to be a Chinese, though born in this country. Escapes Autograph Huntera Gabriele D'Annunzio, the distinguished Italian writer, has been receiving during the last few months so many requests for his autograph from collectors and admirers not only in Italy, but throughout Europe, that he has at last grown tired of signing his name and has adopted a novel method of notifying the public that he is unable to comply with any such requests in the hotel at Bologna where he is staying this holiday may now be read: "Gabriele D'Annunzio's right hand is injured and therefore he regrets to say that he cannot write his name in albums or on postal cards," etc. Bleichroeder to Leave the Turf.

The anniversary of the arrival of the French troops at New York during the revolutionary war was observed by the stone of a monument to be erected in Trinity churchyard to the memory of Admiral D. Ternary, who rendered excellent service to the patriot cause during the war with Great Britain. 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 more confident, so thinking to add to her comfort, the took of his coat and placed it about her shoulders. As they walked along he kept thinking of his gallantry, liking himself to d'Artagnan, Sir Walter Raleigh and various other cavaliers, until he meeting woman say to her companion: "Hi.

All military authorities on the continent are of one mind as to the immense advantage which will accrue to the power which, at the outset of a war, can most quickly place in the field a superior force of efficient mounted troops. One result of this belief is the extreme care with which each of the great military powers of the continent watches the strength and distribution of the cavalry of its neighbors. At the present moment the continent exists in the Triple Alliance, because the two allies have Double Alliance has become superior, numerically, to their own. In the event of war, France could place in the field 327 squadrons and Russia 711; or the two allies together 1,038 squadrons, while the Triple Alliance could only muster 746 squadrons, or 232 squadrons less than the Double Alliance.
