It was largely attended by many of the old regular workers throughout Iowa, and as there was only one contest for state office the convention was more of a love feast than any other event. The republican was happily throughout. The platform was a broad gauge, well written and received the hearty endorsement of Hon. A. B. Cummins. It adopted the resolution prepared by Geo. H. Woodson of the Sixth district and John L. Thompson of the Seventh district and Jasper Prince of the Eighth district, and the resolution in congress in proportion to the actual number of voters. This resolution reads as follows: Resolved, By the republicans in convention assembled. That we are earnestly opposed to all legislation designed to accomplish the disfranchisement of citizens upon lines of race, color or station in the county, and that we are deputed by the democratic party in certain states of the union to accomplish that end. That we recommend to the Fifty-ninth congress the reduction of the representation in congress and members of the legislature shall be reduced in the proportion which the numbers of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of qualified electors according to the various state conventions. The full report of the convention is given elsewhere. This particular resolution, with much modification, is the resolution that Mr. Woodson and Mr. Thompson first caused to b adopted by the republican convention assembled two years ago. Also we seen to it that it remain in our last convention. In the other conventions as well as those delegates to this convention they were late in meeting or not in meeting the committee half in time to meet the committee. There are always a number of persons desiring to be heard by this committee; therefore it is quite difficult to secure an audience with them. Southern Planter Guilty of Peonage Montgomery, Ala., June 24.—The first conviction for peonage in the United States was socrated here today, when J. W. Pace, a leading planner of Talapoosa County, pleaded guilty in the United Court on eleven indictments returned against him by the federal grand jury. Attorneys for Mr. Pace filed demurrows in each case, which the court overruled. He then entered pleas of guilty and appealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals at New Orleans. His bond will be $5,000. The court-to-day on his plea of guilty sentenced Mr. Peace to five years' imprisonment in each case, to be served concurrently. Macon, Ga., June 24.—In the United States court to-day Judge Speer imposed a fine of $1,500 each on three young men—William Shy, Arthur Clawson and Robert Turner—for holding a Negro in involuntary servitude. He suspended the fine under conditions, and in so doing In view of the fact that it is the first crime of the bind which ever has occurred in Georgia, and because of the frank confession of the young men, sentences is imposed in order to convince the public that the purpose of the court is to warn end deter others from like crime. During good behavior fine is suspended upon payment of 8100 by each. The offense was that the young men, who are prominent farmers, caught a negro who had got in debt to them, gave him a whipping and made him go to work for them. Judge Speer said that the problem of the times could not be solved by harsh measures, and wanted it distinctly understood that the laws of Georgia are against such treatment. ASKS BLACKS TO BE CALM AND PATIENT ASKS BLACKS TO BE CALM AND PATIENT Booker T. Washington Delivers Strong Address to His Race at Louisville. MOB VIOLENCE LESSONS Demonstrate That Lynch Law Is Not a Sectional Question—Asks Justice For All. Louisville, Ky., July 2.—Before an audience which crowded Macauley's theater to the doors, Booker T. Washington tonight delivered an address in which he said that recent regrettable events in connection with the race question went to show that Lynch law was not confined to any one section of the country. These events, he said, tended to simplify the race problem by making it national. He admitted that the race was now passing a very serious and trying period of development, and appealed to the negro to be calm and exercise self-control. Principal Washington said in part: "In the present season of anxiety and almost of despair which possesses an element of the race, there are two things which I wish to say as strongly as I may." "First, let no man of the race become discouraged or hopeless. There are men in this country, north and south, who have a great deal of that justice, and out to the race. Such a man is Judge Jones, of Alabama, to whom more credit should be given for blotting out the infamous system of peonage than to any other." "Second, let us keep before us the fact that almost without exception every race or nation that has got upon its feet has done so through struggle and trial and persecution." "No one should seek to close his eyes to the truth that the race is passing through a very serious and trying period of its development; a period that calls for the use of our ripest thought and sober judgment." "Let nothing lead us into extremes of utterance or action. In the long run it is the race or individual that exercises the most patience, forbearance and self-control in the midst of trying conditions that wins its cause." "Let nothing induce us to descend to the level of the mob. In advocating this policy I am not asking that the negro act the coward; we are not cowards. The part we have played in defending the flag of our county is sufficient evidence of our courage." "The recent outbreaks of the mob emphasize two lessons, one for our race and one for the other citizens of our country, and we should be careful that the work of the lyncher is not confined to one section of the country. The lesson for us is that we must be aware of the influence of parent, school or pulpit is concerned, no effort be spared to impress upon our own people the truth of the law. We should let the world know on all proper occasions that we consider no legal punishment too severe for the wretch of any race who attempts to outmaneuver us. "The lesson for the other portion of the law is that the black man is making and in the execution the same law should be made to apply to the white man. When the black man is meted out equal justice to the black man and the white man. Whenever the black man is meted out equal justice to this basic principle, the whole fabric of government for both the white and the black man is threatened with destruc- Council Elects Officers. The Afro-American council today elected the following officers: Resident-T. Thomas Fortune, of New York Secretary-Cyrus Field Adams, Chicago Financial secretary-F. L. McGhee, of Miami Corresponding secretary-Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams, Illinois. Treasurer-John W. Thompson, of New York The election was not accomplished until a stormy debate had swayed the auditorium, and the audience, in a lively objection to placing the picture of Booker T. Washington on the stage, but still out of the way, out of out of a large painting of J. C. Price, a southern educator, now dead, and placing it alongside the rose over a factional fight between the industrial, the higher education and the political divisions in the gathering, but the industrials won. There were many cries of foul play as dominating committees put and adopted Ask Protection From Lynchers. Springfield, O. July, 2-Aat a meeting of the National Anti-Mob and Lynch Law association, held at the University to petition congress and the president for some legislation for "the protection of the negroes of the country in the United States," the rulers of the United States failed to remedy the evils which coexist in Europe. The meeting was attended by President C. J. Henkls, Vice President J. L. Harrington, President J. N. National Organizer C. P. Hines. HOMESBEKERS' EXCURSION.

Crum, Collector of Charleston, South Carolina Port Speaks in Chicago. Rev. Montrose Thornton's Sensational Sermon Rev. Thornton of Wilmington, Del., is an Iowa Product and at One Time Lived in Des Moines. Dr. Bartlett of the First Congregational Chureh, Chicago on Lynching Advises His People to Arm and Defend Themselves as Outlaw Tracy Did. An influential Colored man from the South and the minister of the oldest church in Chicago discussed lynchings in different pulpits in Chicago Sunday. One opinion they held in common: Though the method of summary punishment is not to be condemn, it is often justifiable. "Lynching savor of the barbarian of the dark ages, but we must think of the crimes that provoke them. These crimes are so atrocious that no punishment is too severe for them," said Dr. William D. Crum. Collector of the port of Charleston, S. C., and one of the foremost colored men of the South. "The indignant uprising of a community and some of the best men in it to avenge a crime of such awful magnitude may be technically lawless, but the spirit which caused the uprising is the reflection of a higher civilization," declared the Rev. William A. Bartlett of the First Congregational church. Neither man considers lynching a phase of the race problem of the nation—whites arrayed against blacks. They consider it as the outburst of an enraged public sentiment against some wretch—white as black—who stood guilty of some crime meriting punishment too severe for stuggish law courts. To both the remedy seemed, obliteration of the fiends whose deeds incited the mob violence. Dr. Crum is a resident of Charlestown S. C. Three times he has been appointed collector of the port by President Roosevelt, and each time the Senate, influenced by protests from the "Jim Crow" South, has refused to affirm the appointment. But he holds the office pending affirmation. He is visiting Chisago in response to an invitation from a citizens' committee. The Chautauquan salute greeted Dr. Crum at the Bethel Methodist church, Thirtieth and Dearborn streets, when he was introduced last Sunday evening. To the question wh-what is now so prominent before the country he made but passing reference from the pulpit, Later he expressed himself more forcibly. NOT A BACK PROBLEM "Lynching is not a race problem," said Dr. Crum. "There is no North or South, but the form of unlawful punishment is general all over the country. The most horrible Lynching which ever took place in this country occurred in Delaware only a few days ago. Such punishments savior of the barbarism of the dark ages, but we must consider the crimes that provoke them. They are so atrocious that no punishment is too severe. "To many persons denounce Lynchings without considering their cause. If the law was quick and decisive there would be fewer Lynchings. There should be no delay. Mob violence is always to be condemned. It respects rights of no one. When a man is guilty has no rights, but too often the mistake is made and the wrong person meets a horrible death. "The remedy is to exterminate the horrible wretches who commits the crimes—not by killing them, but by teaching them better. Prevention is the best cure. Only the lowest element—colored or white—is ever guilty. The best of both races stand in abhorrence of the crimes which proyoke lynchings." DE. BARTLMITT'S SERMON. "One gets the impression from recent sermons and resolutions that the citizens who hang or burn the destroyer of life, home and all that is held sacred by womanhood, are the real offenders, rather than the monster whom they destroy," said the Rev. Dr. Bartlett. "We seem to be absorbed with the majesty of this vogue term "law" that the notion pivails that the real criminals are those who do not wait for legal processes, and the violator of womanhood is the abused party. The mere murder is a little to be dreaded in companion with that invasion which brings not only death, but stalk and dishonor. The family bears the sears for generations. The community is soled and shocked. A devouring wild beast would be awelcome friend compared to such a hand in human form. "We shudder at the torture of the criminals who is burned, but apparently forget to shudder for the innocent girl whose mental and spiritual agony is tenuous greater than that of the fire. This is not a nice problem, except in so far as one race is the offenders. The white man who commits the same crime as just as guilty. "The indignant uprising of a community, and some of the best men in it, to avenge a wrong of such awful magnitude may be technically wicked; but the spirit which causes the uprising in the reflection of a higher civilization. There are crimes so dreadful that the pure, and the chivalrous, and the strong find it well nigh impossible to indure the thought that such a degenerate should pollute the earth by his presences." By a Staff Correspondent of the Inter Ocean, Wilmington, Del., *June 8*—This has been the most exciting day in the city since the burning of George White last Monday for the murder of Miss Helen Bishop. Thousands of curious and morbid peoples from near-by towns, and hundreds of others from more distant points today visited the place where white explained his crime. The most sensational feature of the day, however, was the scathing sermon prescheduled by the Rev. Montrose W. Thornton, pastor of the Jirst A. M. E. church of this city, to his congregation tonight. The church was crowded in expectation that the Rev. Mr. Thornton would have something to say on the events of the past week. WHITE MEN ARE DENOUNCED. He said in part: "The white man, in face of his boasted civilization, stands before my eyes tonight the demon of the world's races, a monster innaire, and, in so far as the Negro race is concerned, seems to give no quarter. The white is a heathen, a dunce, a monstrosity before God, and last Monday's act is equal to any act in the category of crime. I would sooner trust myself in the den of a hyena than in his arms. "With a court, law, and officers of the law in his hands, the despised Negro can expect no mercy, justice, or protection. The Negro is unsafe anywhere in this country. He is the open prey at all times of barbarians, who know no restraint and will not be restrained. "There is but one part left for the persecuted Negro when charged with crime and when innocent. Be a law unto yourself. You are taught by this lesson of outrage to save yourself from torture at the hands of the blood-seeking public. Save your race from insult and shame. Be your own swain, court and jury, as was the outlaw Tracy. Die in your trains—perhaps drinking the blood of your pursuers. "Booker T. Washington's charity, humanity, advises of forgiveness, love, industry, and so on will never be re-recroated by white men." VISIT SOME OF THE BURNING. Thousands visited today the scene where George F. White was burned to death last Monday night by a mob. They came from all the small towns in this vicinity and hundreds journeyed to the execution place from Chester, Pa., and Philadelphia. A trolley line runs to about three-quarter of a mile from the scene, and 'bus drivers and others owning vehicles did a thriving business carrying passengers to the place and explaining to them the events of the last two weeks. The burning took place in a freshly-plowed field, about fifty feet from the roadway, which is hidden by high bushes. The field has been tramped almost as smooth and hard as asphalt by the thousands that have visited the farm. The enig evidence that remains of the work of the mob are three cobble stones, on one of which this inscription has been placed in indelible ink: "Here is all that remains of White" The bushes behind which the assault and murder occurred have been cut down for several yards and carried away a sniper or branch of the bushes.

No. 3. DEATH OF MRS. THOS. McDANIEL Mrs. Hullinda McDaniel Was One of First Instructors In Fiske Institute. DIED HERE YESTERDAY Was Friend of General Fiske's Sister, Who Is Now Living In Des Moines. Mrs. Hullmann McDaniel, who was one of the frat teachers in the Flake institute at Nashville, Tenn., which was established at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday at 1 o'clock at the advanced age of 72 years at her home, $44 billion avenue, painful illness, closed the career of a remarkable colored woman. Well educated early in life she took her position in the office of the school, for years of age and faithfully served till she was married. Her big heart and kindly nature won for her the pet name of her husband, who she was called by all who knew her. General Flake opened the institute for the education and elevation of the colored race at the close of the civil war. As corps of teachers was installed and the death of Mrs. McDaniel leaves only one of that body living. This is Mrs. Royal Stuart of Marquisville, near Des Molnes. General Flake's young sister, now Mrs. W. T. Clark, was attending school in Tennessee at the time the institute was opened and shortly afterward visited it. She learned to know "Aunty" McDaniel but lost account of her until she moved to Des Molnes, when she renewed the acquaintanceship with the woman who had taught so faithfully in her brother's institute. General Flake is now dead and but a few years ago the last member of the Flake jubilee quartette, which traveled over Europe and raised money for the Institute, passed away. Mrs. McDaniel was a member of the Woman's Political Equality club and was a hard working member of St. Paul's Episcopal church. She was not only a woman of knowledge, but was a business manager. She had shown excellent management of her own earnings and assumed business control of the family's income. Three years ago Mr. McDaniel, who for many years was a cook at the Savery hotel, retired, and since that time the elderly couple, which never had a child, have been living in their own pleasant home on Sixth street upon an income from an accumulation of over $25,000. Mrs. McDaniel was born in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, in 1881, but not in slavery. Here she received her education on the banks of the Ohio river. Later she, with her family, moved to Terre Haute, Ind., and at the close of the war went into the teacher's work at the Fiske Institute. She left that institution and went to Dayton, Ohio, to marry. In 1886 the couple moved to Iowa, locating at Keokuk. Some years later they came to Des Moines, where they have since resided. Mrs. McDaniel was a good woman and loved by all who knew her. "You can say nothing too good for Auntie Mac," said Mrs. Clark, see Miss Fiske, yesterday afternoon. "I knew her as a girl, teacher, and as an elderly woman. She had an unusually bright mind, pure and loving disposition. She was a noble woman, and her life was one filled with good doing." The funeral will be held from the family residence Saturday morning at 10 o'clock. Owing to the absence of Rev. Catheil, pastor of St. Paul's Episcopal church, of which Mrs. McDaniel was a member, the services will be conducted by Rev. Bowen, pastor of the Good Shepherd Episcopal church, assisted by Rev. Horace S. Graves of the African Methodist Episcopal church. The music, according to the last wish of the deceased, will be furnished by Mrs. Allie Cheek, assisted by Mrs. William Coalson and Mrs. Walter Birney. Interment will be at Woodland cemetery. CEDAR RAPIDS Miss Claire Jones and sister, who have been visiting in the Rapids, have returned. Mr. Willis Clayton and Mr. O. B. Claire were passengers to Des Moines Claire were passengers on the excursion to Des Moines last Thursday. Both report a splendid tim. Mr. Claire speaks very highly of his visit to the By-Stander office while in that city. Mrs. Simon Terry is visiting friends out of the city. Miss Barbara Boyd is suffering from a light attack of sore throat. Mr. Arthur Thorpe left the city this morning en route where he will make a short stay and from there return to his home in Macomb, Ill. Fishing parties continue to be both popular and successful in the city. Mr. Simon Terry filled the pulpit Sunday morning. The Siloam Yates club expect to have an interesting meeting Wednesday at the home of Mrs. Ed Marshall on avenue. We glad to notice the wonderful improvement of health in Miss Esther Martin. Mrs. Pain is the mother of a little daughter. Mrs. A. E. Price and her Sunday school class are preparing for a picnic soon. Mrs. Jackson reports a very pleasant day during her state visit. Plans for the Barbecue are progressing. 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 ears. One day, a baron of ancient patent having complained of another baron taking precedence of him, the king wrote on the petition: "Mere folly; whether a man sits above me or below me, my wife is above me, and 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 heels and ran, but Frederick William pursued him in hot haste and when he overtocked him asked: "Why did you run away from me?" He whereupon his majesty gave him a thwack with his cane and gave him a thwack with his cane and to be loved and not to be feared." ```markdown ``` The year 18, 1920. The year 18, 1920.

Very amazing, is the story of the strenuous ride of a tenderfoot New York correspondent who visited Sharon Springs last month with the Presidential party. As soon as he mounted, one of the cowboys said "Wow," the conductor of the train waved a red flag, and the horse was steamed, and the correspondent went through Sharon Springs leaving cloud of dust behind him that looked like the remains of a cyclone. He went through on a dirt road, and the horse barn, and finally brought up against the side of another. A committee of villagers sat him right, he remounted the horse, started again, and the last seen of him was the horse barn, followed by the rolling dust cloud.

Shortly after the appearance of his first book, "Ten months a Captive Among the Filipinos," an enterprising manager induced Albert Sonnichsen to go on a lecture tour. The young author made his debut in a small New Jersey town, in a dismal, ill-lighted hall, before a handful of people huddled in the front seats, and a multitude of people, including an as dejected the lecturer, sat in the rear, under the gloom of the balcony, Mr. Sonnichsen ended his lecture in a state of nervous collapse, and then, in order to live up to his program, said: "I shall be pleased to answer you with the most respectful an oppressive silence followed. Mr. Sonnichsen repeated his offer, with the same result. Something had to be done. In desperation, the lecturer pointed to that "gentleman over here" and suggested that he looked at what he wanted to ask a question." That disgusted individual, seeing an opening to get back at the author, who had attracted attention to him so unexpectedly, shouted back: "Yes, do Sonnichsen, how do you feel?" A Woman's Back. Dublin, Mich., June 29th.-To the many women who suffer with weak back and pains and tired feelings in the small of the back, the experience of Mrs. Fred Chalker of this place was great. Mrs. Chalker, Mrs. Chalker had suffered a very great deal with these back pains and although she had tried many things, she could find nothing that would relieve her. The pain kept on in spite of all she could do. At last she chanced to read the story of another lady who had said she had been cured and she had been cured by a remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and Mrs. Chalker thought she would try the same thing. After the first two boxes had been taken according to directions, she began to feel some better, and she kept on till last she was cured. Her pains are gone and she is in good health. "Dodd's Kidney Pills helped me greatly, and I will always recommend them as a cure for Pain in the Back." Dancing is commended as a healthful and sensible recreation by the Rev. E. C.

Gentlemen of the Convention: You are not here under good omen as republicans. You are here under good omen as a great great party—members of and co-workers with the national republican party.

The material interest of this state and of our country have been greatly prospered. The people of this state have a bounty, but has laughed to its credit. In the dark days of the last democratic election, the party was in apology of the democratic party that it was the victim of untoward circumcision with explanations, spooks much of luck. They said they were in a condition to which it was her duty to the republican party. That the party was not be denied. The estate must be denied. After the housecleaning followed the election of late, and the blood of the working people, your democratic friends reminiscent of that it was the victim of untoward circumcision. I need make no concealment in this presence. I need make no concealment to be in the party of good luck. That's another idea. It's another idea. With the life of the republican party good luck has been made. The half century last past is the richest contribution ever made in point of time since the founding of the republic. Hope is that it may presage the history of the century upon which the world has endured. In contemplating the work awaiting your vote in review of the screen landmarks on the way over which our country has grown, we build better than we know. On that way we know and the unknown, feats of the flag of our triumphant union, the blood and the mark of many heroes. Many times the way and thirst. The end was hidden to the prophetic eye of our great Lincoln; the shadow are of peace, and the reduction of the shadows are of peace, and the reduction of mountain sides of all the states. David Wilmot, democrat, from Pennsylvania, in 1846 the famous proviso. In that year war again. The Wilmot, K. Pok was president. The Wilmot proposition was that neither slavery exist in any territory acquired by the United States from a part of the law as the object of it would defeat the purpose of the war year before. The slave power was hungry for territory to offset the influence of the Polk had sent a special message to congress representing that "the chief obstacle in securing peace was the adjustment of a building on the war with the official and convenient to both republics." For the accomplishment of this purpose he asked that a sum of money be placed at his disposal, and the bill to be passed on the other side, and the application of the a bitter contest the appropriation increased to $2,000,000, was passed in the succeeding session of Congress, without the proviso. The Willmot proviso was the herald of the republican party. In passing let me call you attention to a contrast, the administration of Polk's administration was not as much as I have suggested in the distance of time by more than fifty years. Polk received from Congress, grudgingly, using the money to be used as I have suggested, $2,000,000 to be used in his discretion to bring to a close the war with Mexico. McKiel received from congress,�port, in the house of representatives of the country. When the roll was called in 1860, the election of the trust proposed, not a vote was recorded in the negative; and the following day when the roll was called on the same proposition in the senate the United States every man an Polk's proposition was for unhappy extensions of slavery, regardless of humanity; McKinley's proposition was for the extensions of freedom, in "interests" and "interests of difference between these two propositions, and the difference between the reception of one and the other, we have a better country and a better people. The war with Mexico came to and in May 1848, and in the territory, including in whole or in part California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado and Wyoming was ceded to the United States. Apparently a great victory had been won for the peculiar and most unhappy institution of American slavery. In 1848, that year when men cried peace, Zachary Taylor, hero of the Mexican war, which candidate was}}}_{1848, the first American of the first states. It was the last election of the white party and marked the sure beginning of its end. With the election of General Taylor came the discovery of gold in California. The sturds, sons of the new territory of the Mascini valley, flocked to our new possessions in great numbers. They were in the most unfeasible place, and yet they went upon their pockets, and yet they went as valant knights to the defense of liberty. Thus strangely, providentially, has this people been left in the境, attracted through all the marvelous history, from Jamegown and Pismouth Rock until now. In 1854 the Kansas-Nebraska bill was passed, abrogating the Missouri compromise of 1820. If the Wilmot proviso was the herald of the republican party, the Kansas-Nebraska bill announced its living presence, full grown and armed with righteousness. The succeeding congress met with a democratic minority in the house of representatives, and Nawianiel P. Banks champion of free soil, after a prolonged struggle, was made speaker. In 1856 the republican party met in Philadelphia and nominated Fremont and Dayton and declared a platform. A giant had been born and reared in a decade. We need to follow the history.

Step by step, through many doubts, before harmed by fear. It has fought the way in leadership of the rights of man- sions the republican party was the creativ- al of the development of the Free Territory of the United States for free men. In that service long, years were spent, culminating in the war for the life of the union, whereas the washed out with the blood of patriots the stains of human slavery from our flag. In all crises this party has been me- nigned; and in every crisis it has won end- ing success for the people of the United States, the people of our continent, the people of the world, it is to the glory of the national republican Party that as the pages of the history of our country have been closed, and an- ajudgment was given freedom to review the writing, the consensus of all opinion has been that the writing was to the honor of the nation and to the undying fame of the capstone of our hosts. It is an example of us: it is your, that the republican party may always be loyal to its birthright and faithful to its traditions I do not say—it would be folly to affirm that we have the strength to mistake and all of our mistakes. The party is in a human agency composed of fallible men, and we cannot fail them. We cannot far can man of the strongest vision sees. But to one who loves his country and his people, he may be the bonus of its name and the opportunity of its people there is hung great merit of accomplishment has dug timely graves and buried from our common sight the weaknesses and failures of our strongest men. We look upon the landmarks of our history and pronounce them good; and we do this without contentions partisan division of Therets. If I mistake not, is the best of speech in the world of the republican party? The landmarks stand for liberty, for equality of opportunity, and for humanity. Through all the long years of political strife, through all those terrible years of civil war, down to the present hour, in�imive of the time when our young men were on the wall of strives, the same spirit as the fathers, there has been inspiration in the battle cry of freedom. The struggle was to save the union—to save it as a heritage to free labor and free men. With the accomplishment of that end, the struggle has been and now is to keep the way open for our men—to enlarge and protect their opportunity. The republican party is the party of progress. It must spy out the way and baze it; and that it has been doing since. It was both good, but it is not doing now. It is the country withering and its power ceempting under its leadership. For some reason or other, at any rate, the working people of the United States never had such opportunity to boost wage and service and that they are neglectful of their opportunity cannot be charged. Prosperity, under the gold standard, is being made to serve everybody. The report takes makes to itself some profile to the right. There is close relation, my friends between individual liberty and industrial freedom. This republican party uses it for the help of the nation in thinking that it has often been charged as it is now charged, with indifference toward one or the other. But, in itself, it is not the same thing as the party and the elephant is its support of the underlying and vital principle which called it into being. After four years of industrial war, blight and oppress and broken promises, the rule of the democratic party at Washington was broken by the return of the republican party in 1850 to a righted place. In the twentieth century, in the year before, in the platform upon which McKinley was elected and in the platform upon which a republican Congress was elected, the nationality of the party was reduced. “We renew and emphasize our allegiance to the policy of protection as the binowark of American independence and the foundry of the country and the development and prosperity. This true American policy taxes foreign products and encourages home industry; it is the but-to-revenue of the country to choose the resources of the American market for the American producer; it upholds the American standard of wages for the labor force that is the widest of the farm, and makes the American farmer less dependent on foreign demand and price; it diffuses general tariff and founds a significant impact on the strength of each. In its reasonable application it is just fair and impartial, equally opposed to Foreign control and domestic supply. The national discrimination includes the Exportism That, I take it, is the tariff platform of the republican party of Iowa. The republicans of this state have made no departure; they are unlikely to do so. They stand by the historic policy of the republican party in giving protection to home industries, and point for its ample vindication to the extraordinary rapidity with which our nation's resources have been developed, and industrial and financial independence secured. The republicans of this state, if I know their minds, have no reservation in affirming, in the language of the national platform of 1900, this statement: "We renew our faith in the policy of protection to American labor. In that policy our industries have been established, diversified and maintained. By protecting the home market, competition has been stimulated and production cheapened. Opportunity to the inventive genius of our people has been secured and wages in every department of nature maintained at high rates, higher now than ever before, always disintegrating our working people in their better conditions of life from those of any competing country." The policy is one thing: its application of the policy to living. Conditions is another thing. While we insist on stability of economic policy as a prime and economic need of our country. I take it the republic's own line of development and of the development of the country. It is a key issue of the president and of the United States. It is an annual measure that this stability should be fossilization. If it would be extremely unfortunate, as the lessons of experience give us warrant for believing, if the sweeping and violent changes in our tariff system should be undertaken, and especially so, as the president pointed out in his recent Minneapolis Express, "If approached on the theory that the principle of protective tariff was to be abandoned." The policy is always to be consistent with that change is inevitable. Focussation will not be tolerated. Distraction apart from consideration of the broad interests of national welfare will not be endured. "Where the industrial conditions so frequently change, as with us must of necessity be the case," said the president in his late tariff speech. "It is a matter of prime import�ment that should be able to help us time a adapt our economic policy to changed conditions." That is what our platform in 1901 declared. That is what our platform in 1902 reaffirmed. The expressions I have quoted give clear definition of the policy of protection. The republican party from the beginning of its history has given the policy uniform interpretation. The object is, in association with raising revenue, to safeguard the industrial interests of our own people—to protect the labor of our country against unequal competition. It follows, of course, that as conditions change, some of our tariffs may be too low, and such tariffs should be raised; it is even more likely that some of our tariffs are too high, and such tariffs should be reduced. The labor of the country under the best and wisest application of the protective policy is not only to be protected in what it has to sell, but it is also to be protected in what it has to buy. Tariff changes should be well considered. They should be made continuously and conservatively. They should not be dictated by mere politics. Every change should have the support of sound business reason. Every change should be made in strict conformity to the general policy, which we Panic Among Guests Follows Announcement of Husband's Illness. Rochester, N.

Va., dispatch: A carload of giant powder on the Ohio River division of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad running at full speed. The explosion was heard for a distance of ten miles. I think we of this state are disposed to congratulate the president, his advisers and the congress on the trade arrangements for the development of the trade. It will be the most advantageous to both of the contracting parties; and what remains for congress to do to give it full effect which we anticipate will be done with the least possible delay. It will be the most complex and most difficult to be half of reciprocity, but not much measured by our desire. The democratic party may be able to defeat treaties, requiring approval by the senate by a two-thirds vote, and I do not have to be able to defeat the policy of reciprocity. The Wilson law of 1894 repealed the reciprocity arrangements negotiated by the Harrison administration. This action was "national calamity," and the party demanded "their renewal and extension on such terms as will equalize our trade with other nations, remove the restrictions which now are on the other side of our countries," and to ensure the points of other countries and secure enlarged markets for the products of our farms, forests and factories. It is alimited with the utmost cheerfulness that the country has to take the action of the policy of reciprocity has not disappeared. Nor do I believe the republican party will surrender the policy. "Protection and reciprocity do not have the St. Louis platform," are twin measures of republican policy, and go back in hand. It has seemed to me, and I am still of a certain belief that we have a sensitive development of the policy of reciprocity is of direct interest to us and is similar or kindred industrial opportunity. We have a need to build up foreign trade and finds an outflow of it is something we need in our business, seems to me we have the need of such secrecy. I was much impressed, as you were much impressed, that the farewell address of McKinley at Buffalo, I cannot persuade myself that he "A system which provides a mutual exchange of essential to the continued healthy growth of our export trade. We must not repossess our sell everything and buy little or nothing. If such a thing was possible, it would not demean the essential to our customers of our products and our industries or allow our deal. We should take from our customers our products and our industries of our products, the natural outgrowth of our prosperity is the natural outgrowth of our domestic policy now newly established. What we produce beyond our domestic consumption must have a vent abroad. We should sell our products to our outlet, and we should sell everywhere we large our sales and productions, and thereby make a greater demand for home labor. We should expand our trade and commerce in expansion of our Trade and commerce is unreliable. A policy of good will and friendly trade relations with prevent our economy from being monotonous with the spirit of the times, measures of retaliation are not. If perchance we receive revenue or to encourage and promote our industries at home, why should they not be essential to our encourage and promote our markets ahead? I would not remove a single safegun to American labor. I would not put out of mind for a moment the material interests of our increasing army of workers. I would not lose sight for a day of the essential need of supremacy in our own markets. If the policy of reciprocity is not compatible with the welfare of the men of the field and the shopman to pronounce it "twin" of protection, "the handmaid's d案" is theக்குable misnomer. I am not unmindful of the fact that prosperity has come to us beyond the dream of the St. Louis convention, nor will I unmindful of the fact that our industrial and commercial relations at home and throughout the world have undergone and are still undergoing marvelous change. But all this does not lessen our responsibility. I take it in readjusting our economic policy we can not wisely ignore the natural law of competition. Domestic competition has made us powerful at home; we can not wholly cut loose from competition in the safe pursuit of our ambition to lead in the trade of the world. But we can not place our whole dependence on competition, not can we involve competition at will. Because we can not do this of the same thing, so feel the essential. We disposed an anticonfierment large corporations and to believe the worst of them. We say the law in some way should bring them down to our level. Not much of benefit to our costs or to collect the costs of the costs that are that. Mr. Milkman forces are at work, and can not be diversified, to eliminate competition in the large business of the country and of the world. These forces are engaged in cheapening the market, and to the extent, we must agree, and to that extent, we must agree, and following sound economic law. The very magnitude of transactions, impossible except under the law of the country, is the唯一 possible old fashioned competition. If what we recognize as competition remains at all, it is transferred to the comparative law, with inferests largely identical and innumerable to the products, and understanding being to do not care to destroy or create the business of these corporations, we want to protect the business and at the same time protect the public welfare. Thus it is that we are compelled to the interaction of the government and how to regulate. That is the power to invake in dealing with so-called trusts and monopolities. What we need to do is to provide protection against abuse. We do not wish to punish the innocent, but the guilty We are compelled to admit, as an economic principle, that at times competition is as well as competition of unbridled competition are many. Because of this, the organization is many. Because of same reason capital is organized. If it prevents men from using all the resources at their command to secure just compensation, it prevents men from establishing a charity and to increase their legitimate business.

Therein is the great field of competition, and what matters we can derate is the ability to oppose the energies of mcu in that field of competition will not be seriously undertaken. The comment represents the common welfare. There is no dispute that protection must be given to the mcu in the proper office of government to protect the individual in his business undertaking. It is the right of control. Thus the individual is restrained of his personal liberty, and the business combination must be answerable to public regulation. I believe I am safe in saying that the course pursued by the president in dealing with the organization and operation of business combinations, in the latter, is entirely indisable, meets with the hearty approval of the republicans of the country, is entirely supportive to the congress, without whose support the efforts of the administration can be made, and for very general congratulation that the advice of the president has been conservative in the action of congress altogether president. In working out this problem, there is yet much to learn of either side, but I am supposed to say that the problem is the most good promise of adjustment and that it affords good promise of adjustment on lines of enduring and mutual interest. The situation, as it seems to me, must be illustrated to template the well ordered model of the state of maintenance of the man of wisdom and high character in the office of chief executive; and this gives me a confidence that the first of the time will be the first of the time that the first of the time the presidency is on the other hand, I am also encouraged to believe that under the same scrutiny and judgment, the long-term of the man of the republic, he chosen from the ranks of the republican party. In defending competition and inviting it in its broader and more wholesome chain, let us not be so far off. It is not a case of the city to try the competition as it is able to of, for it would even welcome harmony in the ranks of that party. Parties, as men, need the whip. I am not disposed to say, however, that decision to temperament is suggestive of the best results. O'Bactrian is easy; construction is difficult. It is easy to contribute to weakness. It is another matter to consider. It is the strength of strength. I hope the thread with which I started has not been all the time out of your sight as I have proceeded. It is the same thing as you have said, the same thing as you have and spirit in this present, with the questions now uppermost, with the party of the same time. It is the same thing as you have, and spirit at the beginning. In the early day of this party, the party of the party is to keep it in mind of the party now to preserve our industries to the free opportunity of our people.

If we can not find solace and inspiration in the serene and secure past, then indeed are we in the midst of desolation. Review of our national history. If we come not too close to the present, is to climb the heights beyond the shifting ground of partisanship. Looking backward, far enough, we see a common history and the glory of a common country. In our day we find the enemy lifted up by his people while he praises the life and character of Abraham Lincoln; and yet it was not the fashion in Lincoln's day. The men of our time are not as those without hope. As republicans you delegates of Iowa may look back upon the record of the last seven years with honest pride. In all material ways our people have been wonderfully prospered. Questions of world-wide concern have been thus dealt with that they have ceased to be disturbing. The republican of Cuba stands as testimonial national development in the sense of human unkning intimately a contemporaneous achievement with the immortal life of the fatherhood of the republican party. In the case of little Venezuela we have reasserted and broadened the Monroe doctrine. In the case of the miners of the anthracite coal region we have freshly voiced the enduring sympathy of the republican party with the just rights of labor, and we have made example for ourselves and in the before the end of the better way of adjusting differences between employers and employees. We have set in motion the machinery for an Istumian canal, for the benefit of commerce and for the tighter gliding of the world in common interest and better fellowship. We are much tormented by impatience. We are much harassed by our fears. In any measurement of other years the truth progress that we live in is time of wonderful progress. The political work of our parts in our state for this year is to be initiated here today. Our own thought and the thought of our political work will be the most complete and complete work in which we call national issues. Why is this year we will choose a governor other state officers, members of the legislature, and others for our counties. We will be the only one of our first attestations to questions wholly related to the conduct of the general government? Next year is presidential year, to be since the 1960s. This year is the first of the year, to be measured involved in that campaign is acknowledged to be of consequence. But how is it that we are so completely diverted from state issues? It certainly can not be a question of the question. The answer must be in the merit of the government the republican party has provided for the people of this state. We have the power to agree in Debate over them, on our own discussions, not wholly free of criticism, as I believe, and not completely founded in the best reason, as if I am not a person who has the power of a�ation and of opportunity.

Riggs, of Sigourney, Named for State Superintendent on the Third Ballot—All Other Nominations Were Unanimous and by Acclamation. For governor—A. B. Cummins, of Des Moines. For lieutenant governor—John Herriott, of Stuart. For superintendent—John F. Riggs, of Sigourney. For judge of supreme court—Chas A. Biahop, of Des Moines. For railroad commissioner—Colonel David J. Palmer, of Washington. Des Moines, July 2—In a convention the most remarkable for the absence of contention that has been held in many years by the republicans of Iowa, Governor A. B. Cummins was yesterday authentically asked to issue a ticket as set forth was formulated. Lieutenant Governor Herriott, Chief Justice Charles A. Bishop and Col. David J. Palmer all were remoninated by acclamation. The state superintendent, a close but good natured struggle, ended in the selection of John F. Riggs, of Sigourney, as the nominee, his vote being 639 to 584 for H. C. Adams, of West Union, and 5 for State Superintendent R. C. Barrett, who was seeking a fourth term. In spite of all forecasts to the contrary, the convention passed pacificly. Harmony was the order of the and the compromise platform, agreed a week earlier, Allison, Governor Cummins and Hon. George D. Perkins and sanctioned by J. W. Blythe, A. B. Funk and other leaders, was adopted by the unanimous vote. Here and there, it is true, there were croppings of dissent among the more radical, but, on the whole, the great mass of the convention worked earnestly in behalf of a peaceful adjustment of differences of detail over the platform. In accepting the nomination for governor, Governor Cummins, in an address that was received with every demonstration of approval, declare/and approved it. He spoke of his past utterances on the tariff revision question and related subjects and made it plain that he had not spoken in haste and had nothing to retract. Senator Allison, Congressman Cousins, and man Lacey also spoke. Senator Dollier held that through controversy the truth was found. Senator Allison, in the most earnest terms, voiced his approval of the platform and indicated that he would could to form the national platform along similar lines. Congressman Cousins voiced his adherence to the Dingley law, and Congressman Lacey had no hesitation in expressing himself as against tariff revision. It was 11 o'clock when the convention was called to order by State Chairman R. H. Spencer. Dr. A. B. Storms, pastor of the First Methodist church, of this city, pronounced the invocation. Chairman Spence read the official call of the convention, and after music by the band, presented Hon. George D. Perkins, of Sioux City, as temporary chairman of the convention, and Mr. Perkins as his step forward to deliver his adresses, and his utterances throughout were approved with frequent outbursts of applause. Intense attention was paid to his remarks on the tariff, and his sentiments evidently struck responsive chords in the hearts of his committee. Mr. Perkins spoke for two hours, and at the close of his address committees were announced, after which adjournment was taken until 2 o'clock. The committee on resolutions follows: First district—J. W. Blythe, Des Moines. Second—Joe R. Lane, Scott. Third—Captain J. F. Merry, Dubuque. Fourth—C. D. Ellis, Floyd, Fifth—L. V. Toussaint, K. Fifth—J. H. Trewin, Linn. Sixth—H. W. Robinson, Jasper. Seventh—Judge Edmund E. Nichols, Dallas. Elighth—H. M. Towner, Adams. Ninth—Walter I. Smith, Pottawatamie. Tenth—Joseph Allen, Pocahontas. Eleventh—E. D. Chassell, Plymouth. When the convention reassembled at 2:30 o'clock the committee on permanent organization recommended N. E. Kendall, of Monroe county, for chairman and E. W. Weeks, of Guthrie county, for secretary. Upon taking the chair, Mr. Kendall spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: For the distinguished honor who have been entered upon me, I am profoundly grateful. It always is a pleasure and an inspiration to stand confronted. Even a solemn man will try to be jolly when he passes his plate the second time. Not many men think of themselves when they are looking for a place to lay blame. Inspiration, perspiration and desperation are the rations which make achievement fat. Fashionable ladies in Berlin are delighted with a new fad - air baths. They array themselves in pajamas and slippers and then indulge in athletic exercises in a garden inclosed by a wall. They drink in this way, they return indoors, drink warm chocolate and enjoy a nap. Unless a man has good backing he is seldom able to put on a bold front.

CUMMINGS by the trumpphant republicans of Iowa, a party of between Maine and a particle of any between Cape Cod bay and the Golden Gate, between Minnesota plains and the Mississippi, you have convened to discharge the most important bill and enter upon another convention under the unsuited banner of the old republican party. We go with unawareness of determining determination to return a majority vote in the unpleasant ticket at the election next November. Gentleman of the convention, it has always advocated the provisions of the atonement are not generous enough to contemplate the regeneration of a politician, but it has advocated a political convention with an extended address. I therefore call for the report of the committee on resolutions. (Aplause.) The report of the committee on resolutions not being prepared as yet, a motion was made to proceed to the committee. The committee Cummins and Lieutenant Governor Herriott were nominated by acclamation. In the contest for state superintendent three ballots were necessary, the 'last ballot being 693 for Riggs, 548 for Adams and 5 for Barrett. At this stage of the proceedings the resolutions committee appeared it was announced the committee was ready to report and the resolutions as agreed on by the committee were read by the chairman, J. W. Blythe. The reading was listened to attentively and there was frequent applause. In the briefest possible manner, the ballot was read and was adopted by a unanimous vote. The platform follows: Therepublicans of Iowa, in convention-assembled, congratulate the people of state ministrations which has promoted the welfare of the entire country in all of its manpower, prosperity, contentment and happiness. We congratulate the acknowledged leadership of love in the council of the republican party and its members, who have supported the relove in the material prosperity of the people of our state, safeguarded as they concern the interests of the entire body of the people. We command entirely and without reservation Roosevelt. Called as he was to the office of chief executive under the most trying conditions, he wisdom and moderation of his utterance and counsel, and the performance of our respect and admiration. He is in the office of the republicans of the entire nation nominated as his unanimous nomination. We congratulate the people of the state that in his cabinet and among his advisers, States our representatives hold positions of the highest character and influence; GOVERNOR A and that our representatives in the lower house of congress occupy positions of foreign office. The state has had a worthy successor in a distinguished line of chief executives in the administration and deserves an unqualified merits and deserves an unqualified command and deserves his courage, discretion and merits. We devote to the progressive policies of the state our confidence in his political leadership. We reiterate our faith in the historic past of our country, foremost in the bounties of nature, has become foremost in production. Our country, foremost in the bounties of nature, has induced capital to engage in production with a reasonable hope of fair recompensation of its successes and the rapidity with which its resources have been developed and our industry has been secured, and we heartily renew our pledge to Tariff rates enacted to carry this policy into effect to ensure "just, fair and impartial domestic monopoly, to sectional discrimination and individual favorism", and must vary conditions incident to the progress of our industries and their changing relationships. Duties that are too low should be increased, and duties that are too high should be reduced. We endorse the policy of reciprocity as the natural complement of protection. Reciprocity between nations's trade for mutual advantage and both sides must give and take. Protection builds up domestic industry and trade and secures our own markets for ourselves: reciprocity builds up foreign trade and finds an outlet for surplus. We approve the treaty with Cuba recently ratified as conferring substantial benefits upon both countries, and urge that the remaining steps necessary to make it effective be promptly taken. We believe that the large corporations commonly called "trusts" should be so regulated and supervised both in their organization and operation that their evil tendencies may be checked and their evil practices prevented. In many instances they are efficient industrial instruments and the natural outcome of an inevitable process of economic evolution. We do not Los Angeles, Cal., has the smallest horse in the world.

The public must serve and advance the public good. The patriotic and resolute course of the president of the United States in his recommendations to comment on this subject, this sub-funding and updated subject of other regulation of interstate commerce commands and our confidence and admiration, and the recent legislation of congress in harvesting and recommendations meets our hearty approval. We renew our allegiance to the principle of the gold standard as enunciated in the Statements of the United States in 1898 and 1900, which resulted in the establishment of the parity of all money and the stability of our currency on a gold basis. Under republican administration of national affairs gratitude to our soldiers and sailors has been attested to their operations provided by legislation supported in always by the nearly unanimous vies of the United States in Congress. We recommend the further provision for this purpose as made by the last congress. We recommend a systematic establishment of good roads in this state, and such further legislation upon that subject as investigation and experience may establish as effective to the economical and effective improvement and maintenance of our country roads. We recommend to the general assembly for the legislation in aid of "systematic disriness" We note with satisfaction the gradual improvement of conditions in our relations with the United States and the increased administrative policy, avoiding the necessity for control through military power, and we commend the steady progress made in the future of the global war. The most essential rule is practical degree of self-government. The essence of free government is government by law. Law must be enforced by law. Law is the law of the country. It is concerned by the observed by the people. The spirit of lawlessness wherever met must be reduced and we commend the fidelity and seal of the law.

We commend the full conversation of the general assembly of the state needs of Iowa in making a creditable exhibit. The committee sent to escort Governor Cummins to the hall then came on the stage with Governor Cummins. There was a remarkable outburst from the convention as he appeared. He spoke, in part, as follows: For myself. I have during the last two years expressed my views upon many of the views expressed. These views wherever expressed have not been hastily reached, nor hurtly or carelessly expressed, because you know me well enough to know, that I reserve no part of my opinion from opinions still, and I shall in the future as I have in the past maintain them simply be B. CUMMINS. I believe them to be true. I believe the fundamental and profoundly in the world of protection. It was bred in my bone of care from a state in which a belief in this disbelief of the law is made and a disbelief of the law is made in the platform you have joined to the effect of the fact of this policy. I believe that the law is the effect of the fact of this policy. I believe that the law is the effect of the fact of this policy. I believe that the law should be re-for the position it occupies in it. It is for the position it occupies in it to the position it occupies in it to the position it occupies in it. And the just powers of government should be made to the power of the government. And I find in this platform the potential that the power of the government is not opposed to domestic monopoly as to foreign policy. I believe that the power of the government depends on the production of our farms and workshops and gives to our people greater power than the now have, and I find in this platform the potential for the use of the power of the country. It is the power of the country to the extent of its place. I believe that both sides must give and have in the form of the most give to the most and the most in fairness to us. They are the most and the most of the great republican doctrine, and the most and the most of the power of the country. We will march side by side, not only in amity, but in enthusiasm, and I be as well as I believe to my existence that in the campaign we will be planted upon loftier heights than ever before in the bright and glorious career of our beloved party. I thank you. At the close of the governor's remarks there was another outburst of cheering, and then the convention completed its business by the nomination by acclamation of Chief Justice Charles A. Bishop, of Des Moines, to succeed himself as judge of the supreme court, and the re-nomination of Colonel D. J. Palmer, of Washington, as railroad commissioner. Allison, Dollier, Cousins and Lacey each spoke briefly. “This is rather an unusual hour for you to be going to lunch. Not hungry so early, are you?” “No, but I will be by the time the waiter condescends to notice me.” Murphy—“Will ye give me yer promise that ye'll love me forver?” Bridget—“Sure, an' Ol'd like to do that same Murphy, but Ol'm hardly of the opinion that Ol'll lasht as long as that.” She—“Is it really true that the blind can determine color by the sense of touch?” He—“Sure. I once knew about man who was able to tell a red-hot stove by merely putting his finger on it.” Ike—“Kentucky courthouses should be made without doors.” Jake—“Yes; it's rank cowardice to shoot an innocent bystander from behind a door.” "So Woody is very rich now. When I knew him he was poor. He only treasure in those days was the musket his great-grandfather carried in the Revolution." "Oh, his great-grandfather has been promoted since.

Rev. 1. Toliver, of Texas, is fast coming to the front as a most remarkable worker for the cause of Christ. During his evangelical tour of the United States it is said he has made over 11,000 converts. Of him the Los Angeles Times found occasion to say: "He moves men to laughter or to tears at will—he is America's black Moody." 。 By the will of the late Mrs. Crummell, widow of Dr. Crummell, valuable properties are left to the Convention of Washington, in trust, to be used as a Home for Aged Colored Women. Dr. Crummell was much interested in the "Black Women of the South," and such an institution at the National capital would be a proper monument to that noble man. KING TO SEE NEGRO COMPANY. London. June 20.—The Negro opera company of Williams and Walker, which is playing "In Dahomey" at the Shaftsbury Theater, seems to have firmly established itself in London favor.

They received a royal command to appear at Windsor today, but the King's plans were afterward changed and they will appear at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday. The company has caught on in society and the members are being asked-out to sing and dance at smart houses every night.

C., retired from active practice by reason of troublesome wounds received nearly forty years ago. A certificate in the capitol of New York State at Albany attests the priority of Dr. Rand's tender of his services. The certificate is signed by the mayor and two prominent citizens of Batavia, N. Y., also by the county clerk and the sheriff of Genesee county stating that in less than ten minutes after the call of President Lincoln, April 25, 1861, for 75,000 volunteers was taken from the wires name of Charles F. Rand was enrolled as a soldier. Among all the war recores at Washington there is none of an earlier enlistment than that of Dr. Rand, and the honor has therefore been given him by common consent. Not only was Dr. Rand the first volunteer for the civil war, but he was also the first soldier to win the congressional medal of honor for distinguished gallantry in action. This event occurred at Blackburn's Ford, Va., in less than three months after his enlistment. His command was ordered to retreat, and every man obeyed, save young Rand, at this time but 18 years of age. The rest of his battalion, numbering 500 men, was swept in disorder from the field, but Rand held his ground, notwithstanding the fact that the field was plowed by shot and shell all about him. The enemy finally also lately refused to fire at the boy standing bravely alone and shooting at them as coolly as if he had a thousand men at his back. Rand then crept across a deep ravine and joined the command of General A. H. Barnum. Dr. Rand's patriotism and gallantry have been recognized by two governors of the State of New York and by three Presidents. He was twice personally honored by President Lincoln. New York remembered him with a gold medal appropriately inscribed, and the United States government has presented him with a plot in the most beautiful part of Arlington cemetery, where, at the proper time, the state of New York will erect a monument worthy of the first man to offer his services as a volunteer during the great rebellion. The above will make a valuable addition to your scrap books and it should be clipped and retained. —[Editor.] SPECTACLES MADE TO FIT ANY EYES.

The District Grand Court of Iowa and Jurisdiction convened in the Masonic hall on the 23 day of June, at the hour of 10:30 a.m. m. Mrs. P. A. Jones of Kecku, M. A. G. M. presiding. The Grand Court was opened in the H. of J. degree. The following members answered to their names at roll call: Mrs. P. A. Jones, G. M. A. M., Keoku; Mrs. Luella Wilburn, V. G. M. A. M., Des Moines; Mrs. Maggie Jackson, G. T., Buxton; Miss Ida Palmer, G. Sce, Burlington; Miss Cora Jones, G. I. G. K., Okeacons; O. H. Cleans, G. O. K., Omaha, Nebr; A. A. Blane, G. M. K., J.

In $ 3 0 p. m. the G. M. A. delivered her message to the Grand Court, which was full of love, sympathy and wise instruction, showing plainly that she had done her work well in looking after each Court of Heroine that had been placed in her care for the year. Her address plainly showed that she had not been idle during the year, but had been an industrious and faithful servant. When the time came to cleat the Grand officers the members of the Grand Court were not slow in showing by their votes that they appreciated very highly the work that she had done. I must say that her message was filled with wise and timely advice; and upon the part of the members it it was listened to with profound silence and the greatest of attention. Her message captivated the Grand Court. In the afternoon the Virginia Court of Buxton invited the members of the Grand Court to a reception, which was held in the Masonic hall. The affair was a grand one and will long be remembered by the court. The second day's session was called on by the G. M. and after the reading of minutes the committee on obituary reported; after which the committee on memorial being appointed, prepared the services which was carried out at the hour appointed. This was a very effective meeting and at times there was not a dry eye in the Court, as the members spoke in words of kindness for the friends of those who had sat in the different Courts with them. Each one who taken a part in the services acquired themselves well, and showed most truly that all were bound together with that precious cord of love. At 7:30 the Grand Court attended in a body the private installation of the officers of the Cedar Grove Lodge, No. 18 of Buxton, a very pleasant time was had, as they looked upon men whose lives they had been the means of saving. The report from the Grand Treasurer and Grand Secretary showed that the Grand Court was on the upward march, both numerically and financially. By invitation the next Grand session of the Grand Court will be held in Des Moines—being the goose of Mt. Olive and Naqni Courts. The Court elected the following sisters for the ensuing year: Mrs. P.

NOTHING TOO SMALL TO STEAL City Merchant Complains of the Prevalence of Disease "The old saying that nothing is too small to steal is exemplified in our business," said a man of custom-made clothing. "Our three 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 emissary. If he chose to be dishonest he could bus us of $5,000 a year 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 dollars, but it offers a temptation if the scheme can be worked on a large scale. We years ago we were forced to the conclusion that a 'fence' was being operated to die of pose of stolen thread. The spools sold by peddlers from house to house. This suspicion caused large establishment to have each spool stamped with dyes 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."
