VERY LOW RATES TO BOSTON, MASS. Via the North-Western Line. Excursion will be sold June 30 to July 4, inclusive, limited to return until July 12, inclusive, on account of N. E. A. annual meeting. Among the three hundred who took degrees from the esteemed university last Wednesday, there was an old friend Edward A. Carter of Buxton, who received the degree of bachelor of philosophy being the second Afro-American to receive a degree from the College of Liberal Arts of the State university. Carter was born in Charlestonville. W. Carter was with his parents to Muchakanook, Isa, a year later, where he continued to reside until the summer of 1900, when he removed with his parents to Buxton. His early education was received in the schools of Muchakanook. After finishing, Oksalao high school, from which he graduated with honors in 1899. After his graduation from the high school he became acquainted with S. Joe Brown, who had then just recently graduated from the University and largely through whose influence he was induced to enter the State university, and to assist and encourage him in this undertaking a purse of $60.00 was raised by a committee of young ladies in a backpack under the supervision of Mrs. Brown, which sum was tendered him at a reception given in his honor; but young Carter gracefully refused to accept assistance of this nature and the fund was placed in the hands of Attorney Carter to be presented to him when he should graduate from his college course, which was accordingly done at the commencement last Wednesday by Miss Lotta A. Sheffey, representing the attorney, and bodies by whom the nurse was raised. Throughout his entire four years' course Mr. Carter has maintained a very high grade of scholarship, notwithstanding the fact that he has been compelled to earn his expenses by working in the school year and by his labor in the coal mines during the vacations and by his courteous manner and gentle character he has won the utmost respect and admiration of all with whom he has come in contact with both students and faculty. He has turned to the university this fall, when he will enter the College of Medicine, in which he will prepare himself for the practice of his chosen profession. Chicago Chronicle, Dem.: Nearly all the American people excepting the southern mossbacks who are so represented by Gov. Jeff Davis, of Arkansas, agrees with Booker Washington to solve the negro problem" is to make the negro a good and useful citizen—so good and useful that the community could not well dispense with his services and would not if it could. What is this negro problem? Simply that of harmonizing the races by improving the morality of the privileges of citizenship. But why should we treat this as a "problem" to be solved by improving the negro only? There are whites who need "uplifting" as much as the blacks do. The country is full of white parasites—men who want some body or some organization to do some work. The country is infested with worthless white beggars and tramps who hold that the world owes them a living and make a business of collecting it in the streets and highways and from door to door by means something like a bank. It is infested with thieves and robbers as well as lazy beggars. We have with us also not a few less white beggars and tramps who marry and then quit work and and beer tolling at the washub, and there are many more who keep their children out of school, lying about their ages, and force them to help them live, while they loaf and guzzle. Furthermore, we have a still larger class of those who go into the trades unions and spend a good deal of time striking, rioting and forcing idleness upon others who would be glad to work if they could be assured of protection. The white men need to be worked over into good citizens as much as the negroes need it. The Booker Washington solution of the "problem" is as good for the white as for the black race. Honest and industrious citizens are getting tired of mendicancy and the hold up business, organized as well as unorganized, whether they are white men or black men. (The above is an editorial from the Chicago Chronicle, one of the most conservative democrats, papers in that city, for us to talk to many comment. Suffice it to say it expresses our views and coming from that paper it should cause every one of those who belong to Soult to see that all of their race is not so good.) The Yellowstone Park Flower Book, published by the Northern Pacific, is a beautiful creation. It contains specimens of real flowers, in natural colors, from Yellowstone Park, with names and places where found. Also six full page, fine, half tone illustrations of bears, the spot on earth, 54 by 62 miles in size, and where President Roosevelt recently spent his vacation. The flower book makes a beautiful souvenir. Send Chase. S. Fee, Gen'r Passing'r. Agt., Northern Pacific 'By., St. Paul, Minn., fifty cents for a copy. Should Chinstown Be Burned? Chinstown, in San Francisco, according to the president of the board of health, should be burned. As it is at present, it cannot be rendered sanitary except by total obliteration. OBITUARY After an illness of several weeks Wert Early died at his home on Park street last Saturday night. He leaves a wife, two children, father, mother, three brothers and a host of friends to mourn his death. Mr. Early was a member of the colored company that went from this city during the Spanish-American war, and was a barber by trade. His remains were taken to Albia for burial Tuesday where other members of the family are buried. DISTRICT SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION The nineteenth district Sunday school convention of the A. M. E. church met in Burlington, Iowa, on June 4 and 5. There were not as many delegates present as last year owing to the several washouts many were forced to stay at home. Nevertheless a good session was held and many interesting papers were read and discussed. The reports of the various schools of the district showed an increase over that of last year. The reception given the delegates by the school of Burlington was par excellent and was enjoyed by those who were fortunate enough to be present. Simon L. Terry, of Cedar Rapids was re-elected as district superintendent, with Mrs. Julia Folks of Cedar Rapids and Mrs. Katherine Fox of Kookuk was made secretary of the district and Mr. Wm.

The Summer Carnival opens Monday and the prospects are for the greatest al fresco entertainments ever seen in Des Moines. The principal attractions will be furnished by the Jabour Carnival and Circus Company which closes a week's engagement in Eau Claire, Wis., Saturday and then comes direct to Des Moines; arriving here Sunday. It will go at once to the Base Ball Park, on West Fourth Street, where the tents will be pitched and the platform erected, for the performances to be given next week. The Carnival will open at noon Monday. A grand parade of the Jabour attractions, including the 200 performers in the shows; together with the entire membership of the Des Moines lodge of Elks, in white uniforms, will mark the opening of the Carnival. Two circus performances will be given by the Jabour that day and every day, during the entire week; the performances culminating at night with the brilliant pyrotechnic pageant "A Night in Japan", by far the best pyrotechnic display ever seen in Des Moines. Tuesday will be Des Moines Day. It was just fifty years ago that Des Moines became a city and the fifth-anniversary of the notable event will be marked with special exercises at the Carnival. Wednesday will be Children's Day with the distribution of 300 special prizes to the children of Des Moines and Iowa. Thursday will be Fraternal or Labor Day, with a special program for the workingmen of Des Moines and neighboring cities. Friday will be given over to the Khorassans.

The third grand parade of the week will occur that afteroon, fully 3,000 traveling men are expecting to be in line. The Summer Carnival will be given by the same management which made such a success of the Elks' Carnival last year. A handsome club-house for the Elks' lodge is a probability if the Carnival is a financial success. Low rates have been given on all railroads ann thousands of visitors are expected in Des Moines that week. EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS.

THREE KILLED; SEVEN INJURED Gad Wreck on Rock Island By Collision of Passenger and Gravel Trains--Passenger Train is a Total Wreck. Cedar Rapids, June 18—Three men were killed and four injured as the result of a collision of a Rock Island passenger train and a gravel train at Elmira, twenty miles south of here. The accident was caused by the failure of the gravel train to clear the main track before the passenger arrived. The dead are: Eldon Herring, Lisbon; Earl Herring, Lisbon; Fred Rialer, Davenport; and the injured: Engineer T. A. Myers, skull probably fractured; Baggagamian J. R. Barnes; Bobby Brooke, fireman on gravel train, cheek bone fractured; Ernest Veale, fireman on passenger, feet and elbow bruised; Theodore Heckt, Traer, Ia, slightly injured; James Morlock, tumma, a body, J. Morlock, Cale, Chicago; Wm. Armstrong, Pullman porter, bruised. No wreck that has occurred within such a short distance of Cedar Rapids has presented the thrilling spectacle of a train is a total wreck and the baggage car is badly smashed. It was thrown crosswise of the track, while the mines car and the smoker behind came together. When the train came together three sudden and distinct crashes like reports from a cannon were heard.

Heredity Plague Important Part in Filling Hospitals. Da Meleses, June 12—Judge Kline of the board of control in a paper giving some notes on observations regarding insanity cases, showed that in the 1,425 cases in which the alleged cause of insanity was given on entering the Iowa hospitals in recent years epilepsy was the fourth of the cases, intemperance in another fourth and heredity in over one half. As applied to the whole number of admissions, this would show that the cause of the insanity was as follows: Epilepsy was the fourth of the cases, intemperance in over 5 per cent of the cases; heredity in over 11 per cent of the cases. In other words, over 20 per cent of the whole number admitted were there because of epilepsy, intemperance and over 20 per cent of relatives who were or had been insane. "It if it were possible in every case to ascertain the real cause of the insanity," continued Judge Kine, "thought it is fair to assume that it was the result of the deliberate and the whole number of patients admitted were there because of epilepsy, intemperance or heredity.

If a single person, will he or she proceed to marry someone with whom such an alliance with one whose family is known to be afflicted with these or kindred diseases? If so, he or she may be sure that some generation which will follow will reap the reward of a clouded life or a lifelong burden to be a life full of sorrow. Will he call a halt in the reproduction of delinquents and defectives."

Creston, June 16—The democrats in county convention, adopted the following resolution with reference to the tariff. "We do not believe the policy of the republican party with reference to the tariff is just to the American people. We believe it to be inimical to the interest of the producing classes.

That it is a destroyer of the law of supply and demand, and cannot live in an open field of competition, and to that end we approve and endorse the Iowa idea as expressed in the state constitution.

This is shown by the statistics being gathered from insurance companies of Iowa. During the past couple of years, a number of the leading fraternal insurance organizations have been securing data of the death rate of persons of an age eligible to be insured by the insurance companies of the seasons or months during which the greatest number occur. While they will not have the statistics completed for some time, they show that the death rate is the largest during the summer months of March and September days succeeding September 15 are a close second. The parties who have been gathering the statistics claim that the cause of the increased death rate during these months is due to the summer's cold gradually changing to the summer's warmth during the month of March, and vice versa during the latter part of September and October. The statistics are in guarding against the sudden changes in the weather and contract alliances which prove fatal.

SERVIAN REVENGE WELCOMES THE NEW KING Expresses Confidence That King Peter Will Investigate, the Abominable Deed and Mete Out Punishment to the Criminals. St. Petersburg, June 19.—Ap official note was published in the Gazette yesterday recognized Peter Kargeorgevitch as king of Servia and welcoming his accession. In brief, the note declares that it is incumbent upon King Peter to avenge the assassination of King Alexander and Queen Grace, and expresses the conviction that he should now severely punish the regicides, whose misdeeds should not be visited on the entire Servian nation or army. The note adds that it would be dangerous to the tranquility of Servia to leave the crime unpunished. the test of the race follows. "The test of the race follows since the day of the bloody revolution at Belgrade, an intimation of which could not be given to the imperial government in the customary official form because legal authority was lacking in Servia. Strictly adhering to her authority, he sent an internal affairs of the Balkan states and at the same time finding it impossible to hold any intercourse with the persons who have arbitrarily usurped power, Russia has awaited the conclusion of the trouble in order to regain control of the kingdom in the kingdom of Servia. The Skupchina assembled in extraordinary session June 16, the legal order of things being re-established and Prince Peter Karageorgevlich unanimously elected king. The prince, complying with the instructions of the embyc, has consented to ascend the throne of Servia under the name of Peter I. Immediately after the proclamation the new king telegraphed to the czar asking his imperial majesty, recognize his power, proponen the recognition of his majesty in confirmation of this was sent. "The imperial government, while hailing the election of the new monarch, scion of a glorious dynasty and wishing all success he has so well be obtained, has a serious civilian people, which is allied to Russia by the cause of religion, can nevertheless not refrain from expressing the confident hope that King Peter will be able to give evidence of his success, by adopting measures at the outset to investigate the abominable deed that has been committed and mete out rigorous punishment to those traitorous criminals who have stained them with blood. Of course, the entire Servian nation or army cannot be held responsible for the crime which revolts public conscience, yet it would be dangerous to Servia's internal affairs. The revolution carried out with violence by the military. Such neglect would inevitably react in an unfavorable manner on the relations of all the states, with Servia and would create for such serious difficulties at the reign of King Peter L. "Their Russian corollionists offer to God supplications for the repose of the souls of King Alexander and his consort, who have met an untimely end and they invoke the blessings of the Almighty on the rule of King Peter for the welfare and prosperity of the Servian people." TO INVESTIGATE PEONAGE. Judge Speer Orders Grand Jury to Go to Bottom of the Matter. Macaon, Ga., June 19—In the United States court yesterday Judge Emory Speer, in his charge to the federal grand jury, sprung a surprise. He called attention to the fact that it had been charged that a system of peonage existed in certain parts of the southern district of Georgia, in connection with the state, that state, provides "there shall be no imprisonment for debt," and that the constitution of the United States provides neither slavery, nor slavery in punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist in the United States or any place subject to its jurisdiction. He said the case presented to him, charged the jury to make diligent inquiry and if it found the statement true, it was its duty to return an indictment against Two Hundred People Carried Down at Eau Claire, Wisconsin. Eau Claire, Wis., June 17—A long section of the Madison street bridge approach went down under the weight of between 150 and 200 people at 9:30 last night. Six persons were seriously, probably fatally, injured. Twenty-five or thirty others were less serious and have not been learned. The accident occurred during the illumination of the street carnival booths along the main streets of the city. Hundreds of people were watching the illumination from this vantage point. Suddenly, without a moment's warning, a section of the approach forty feet in length sank. Inside, the water was clear. It was thought for a time that the entire bridge with its load of humanity had gone down, carrying hundreds to death in the waters of the Chippewa river, as soon made known. The illumination was ended at once and all possible aid was extended to the suffering. The section of the 600-foot collapsed building of six sightseers twenty-five feet into a bank of sand and debris near the edge of the river, but fortunately none fell into the water. AGREE TO ARBITRATION. Chicago Restaurant and Hotel Strike Will Be Declared Off. Chicago, June 18—An amicable adjustment of the hotel and restaurant strike here was reached yesterday, and the strikers will return to work Friday morning after two weeks' idleness. All the differences between employer and employee are to be settled by arbitration. The obstacle which prevents the strikers from assignment, the demand of the joint board of the strikers that union workers only be employed, was waived by the strikers in a formal proposition last night to the hotel and restaurant owners asking for peace and offering assistance. As the terms in the communication were what the employers have insisted upon all along, the proposition was accepted without delay. A conference of representatives of both sides will be held today to select the board of arbitration. NEW RULER IS CHOSEN. Prince Peter Unanimously Elected by the Skauchting. Belgrade, June 16—With scarcely the excitement which marks an ordinary fete day in the capital, Servia yesterday instituted a new dynasty. Within less than two hours from the time of the meeting in the wing of the royal palace, where King Alexander and his queen were shot down, the senate and skupschtina in joint session had legally and with due formality elected Prince Peter Karageorgetvich king of Servia and had notified him by telegraph of the fact. JEWS TURN ON THE EDITOR. Man Who Precipitated Kishinef Mas- St. Petersburg, June 18—Krousevan, the notorious Jewish batter and the editor of the anti-Semitic organ in Kishineh, the Bessarabet, the articles in which are believed to have been written by the author of the Jews at Kishineh, was attacked by a party of Jews in the street here. He was stabbed in the neck by one of the Jews. The wound is not believed to have been caused by an attack and proved to be a former student of the polytechnic school at Kieff. Metcalf's Letter to Payne. Washington June 19—The postmaster general yesterday received a letter from James T. Metcalf, removed yesterday on charges of indiscretion in contract matters, asking a suspicion that he was not to be heard. Metcalf says he has spent the best part of his life in an honest discharge of his duties, "in which no stain or suspicion has ever been found," and is able to show that he was consulting only the best interests of service in whatever he did in the matter that caused his dismissal, and had no thought of himself or his family.

NOT BACK DOWN Challenged in the House of Commons, Says He Has Nothing to Modify. SAYS HE WOULD RETALIATE Outcome of the Day's Debate is Looked Upon as a Big Victory for Chamberlain, But a Crisis Cannot Be Long Delayed. London, June 18.—In the course of questions regarding the new fiscal proposals, in the house of common yesterday, the liberal leader, Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman, obtained leave to move the adjournment of the house in order to discuss a point arising from the reply which the premier made to Sir Henry in the house on June 11. The latter, on that occasion, called the attention to the dispatch of Vice Admiral Lawson, governor of New South Wales to Colonial Secretary Chamberlain, supporting the secretary's preferential trade proposals. The premier of New South Wales, Sir Henry pointed out, has since telegraphed that the declaration which he made in the speech of the governors in the speeches of Mr. Bafour and Mr. Chamberlain, and the liberal leader invited the premier to telegraph the government of New South Wales's correction of its misapprehension. Mr. Balfour declared that he had nothing to withdraw or to modify in the speech referred to. The matter was taken up again at the evening of the speech, the Vice-Admiral Lawson's dispatch, said that with regard to preferential trade the cabinet were at one with the government of New South Wales in desiring a thorough investigation. The government had raised any false claims in the colonies. The only chance whereby the colonists might regard their hopes as false would be if the opposition assumed power and carried out their implied intention to abandon the discrimination of the whole world. Sir Charles Dilke having referred to the premier's statement as a momentous one, committing the government to a direct step towards awed protection, Mr. Balfour retorted that he had not said a word about retaliation, but he would not shrink from retaliation as satisfied there was no other method. Mr. Chamberlain then arose and referred to Germany's action toward the United States in hostilities discrimination against the colonies. He did not blame Germany so long as the British policy was to lie down under that treatment. Then enlisted in the British army, guarding retaliation, the colonial secretary expressed his confidence that Germany would not compel Great Britain to intervene in the disputes, but if it did he would say with Mr. Balfour that it was the government's duty to find a remedy. Sir Henry Campbell-Bannerman's motion was then rejected. The result of yesterday's debate is recognized as a great personal triumph for Mr. Chamberlain. The intention of the liberals was to drive aedge in the debate and the premier, who has threatened endeavored to maintain a non-committal attitude towards the preferential tariff proposals. Instead of attaining this aim, the effect of the debate was to drive Mr. Halfour into the colonial secretary's arms and practically compel and government to a policy of retaliation. A feature of the situation was the changed attitude of the conservatives towards Mr. Chamberlain. In previous debates on the same subject Mr. Chamberlain was the coolest; last night, on the contrary, he was greeted with ringing cheers throughout his speech, and he himself wore the brisk and satisfied air of a man foreseeing his triumph. It is believed that the government position is worth over a precarious and nothing can delay an appeal to the country on the question. WOMAN AS A GO BETWEEN. Startling Feature of the Postoffice Scandal. Washington, June 19.—The federal grand jury which has been investigating postal affairs, will bring in five indictments. Although every effort has been made to keep the public in ignorance of the action to be taken until the papers were ready for presentation by the grand jury, it is learned on unquestioned authority that the jury has voted to return indictments against August W. Machen, Diller B. Groff, and Mrs. Lorenz, the two latter being residents of Toledo. O. The specific charges, it is understood, will be conspiracy to defraud the government. The sensational feature of the proceedings is the connection of the transactions which led to the arrest of Mr. Machen and the Groffs. At the time of the arrests stories were in circulation that there was a go-between, but the information at hand then was not conclusive enough to identify the identity of the culprit. Whether or not Mrs. Lorenz acted in this capacity is not known, but it has been suggested that this go-between was a woman. MISSOURI IN BAD HAILS. Efforts of Attorney General to Fight Trusts Are Defeated. Jefferson City, Mo. June 17—The supreme court, en banc, decided against Attorney General Crow, in his suit for a decree in ouster against the Continental Tobacco company, brought for violation of Missouri antitrust laws. The court also decided in favor of thirteen railroad against whom Attorney General Crow had instituted sues of ouster for violation of laws relating to consignment charges Judge Fox wrote the opinion of the court and all the judges concurred with him in confirming the report of the referee amidst the case. This is a decided victory for the tobacco company. In fine, the courts hold that a corporation acting in good faith and in the legitimate pursuit of its business must pay for the services of similar corporations it has the money to pay for. The law providing the formation of a trust or combination to control prices does not prohibit purchases of one corporation by an DOCTOR ADVOCATED OPERATION--- PE-RU-NA MADE KNIFE UNNECESSARY.

ORIGIN OF SLANG PHRASE. When He First Understood Meaning of Descriptive Term. A student in the school of Mines at College University was has just returned from Bute, Mon., was telling Charles James, proprietor of the Sturtevant, about the atmospheric peculiarities of that mining town of the Far West. "Pon my word," he said, "the alm is so charged with mineral gases that after a man has been out for an hour or so in the morning his heart action is quickened by plenty of whisky to get it in fairly normal condition. I was told that there were at one time a few inhabitants of Butte who were teetotalers, but they are all dead. A man can drink a quart of whisky before his midday dinner in that town, without having to go to the restaurant. That is why Butte men, when they come East and their heart works normally, get frightfully drunk when they try to drink as they do at home. "I see," retorted Mr. James. "I understand now what it means to tell man that he has a 'beaut' on—"New NEW USE FOR ELECTRICITY. Entire Restaurant Services Supplied in a Novel Manner.

R. 12 31 Minnesota, Miss. An Emperor's Whims. Emperor Frederick William of Prussia sometimes would signify his rejection of what he considered an absurd petition by drawing on the margin an ass' head and ear. One day, a baron of ancient patient having complained of another baron taking precedence of him, the king wrote on his tablet: "I will sit on a man sits above me or below me, my birth remains the same." Oftentimes he would ask people in the streets who they were, a peculiarity which made nervous people evade the royal presence. One day when a man saw the king approaching he took to his pew and himself in the hot hat and when he overtook him asked: "Why did you run away from me?" "From fear," answered the man, whereupon his majesty gave him a thwack with his cane and said that he "wished him self to be loved and not to be feared." Clever Female Politician Miss J. N. Strong, private secretary to ex-Congressman Hawley of Texas, is credited with being the cleverest female politician ever seen in Washington. She is conversant with every county in Texas, knows every man of prominence in the state and attends to nearly all details of federal patronage there. It is related of her that she once went to see a cabinet officer in regard to a place for a Texas constituent. The official was not disposed to give the place to her applicant, but in a pleasant and courteous manner and an sorry to disappoint you after looking at her eyes. "It seems to me then," was the quick answer, "that the eyes ought to have it." The cabinet officer was so pleased with the retort that he made the appointment. City Merchant Complains of the Prevalence of Diehonesty. "The old saying that nothing is too small to steal is exemplified in our business," said a manufacturer of custom-made clothing. "Our thread gives us lots of trouble. We have to keep a watchful eye upon it. The case in which it is kept is under the supervision of our most trusted employee. He chose to be dishonest, so we would use 4000 threads and we would be none the wiser. We would, perhaps, notice that we were using more thread than usual, but the excess might be attributed to other causes. "We have to check out every spool we give to our tailors. Even at this we are in danger of having a cheaper grade substituted. The difference in the price of the spools may be only one or two cents, but it offers a temptation if the schism can be worked on a large scale. Some years ago we were forced to the conclusion that a 'fence' was being operated to dispose of stolen thread. The spools were sold by peddlers from house to house. This suspicion caused much large stamped with dres which cut into the wood, stating that the thread was stolen from such and such a shop, the name of which was stamped on the spool." 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 court. plaster on his face evinced a grim reminder to their antithetic 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. JOHN L.

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 some disquietude exists in the Triple Alliance, because the cavalry of the 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 1,083 squadrons, while the Triple Alliance would only muster 748 squadrons, or 292 squadrons less than the Double Alliance.
