Miss Ellie, who has been for some time a trusted employee at Harris-Emery's large store, and is a very easyy young lady, has a host of friends. Mr. Oden has not been long a resident of this city, but he is a very promising and highly respected young man, and the friends of the newly wedded pair wish them many years of happiness. Our families of Lake Park, a large number of whom were formerly residents of proud Mahaska county, are citizens of whom Des Moines should be proud. Their frugality and thrift is strongly emphasized by the fact that the majority of them are owners of real estate. Prominent among the property owners of the Park is Prof. F. G. Goggins, who came to Des Moines from Mahaska county several years ago and located in Lake Park where he now owns five valuable lots and two modern houses, one of which has been erected very recently and is a model of neatness and convenience. Prof. Goggins was for several years leader of the brass band in Muchakinock, and is very proficient in his line of work, and has proven himself to be a capable instructor. The professor's amiable wife gives some attention to music, while the little daughter is, at an early age, exhibiting unusual musical talent. Among those who own homes in the Park may be named, Rev. C. B. Brown, J. James, A. Morris, Gov. Williams, C. Brown, Jr., Mr. Law, J. Morris and many others whose names for lack of time will not permit us to mention. Miss Ethel Wells went on the excursion to Moberly, Mo., Tuesday.

Henry Tolliver, a leading citizen, living at 1413 Fremont street is about to start on a trip to Leavenworth, Kans., to visit his aged father, whom he has not seen since he was sold on the slave block over a half century ago, at the age of 9 years. The father is a man of remarkable age and according to a son who recently visited here, has seen 127 summers. Henry Tolliver, when but a boy of 9, was sold on a southern auction block in Davis county, Missouri. This was the last he saw of his parent. Heran away from his master about the time of the outbreak of the war and came to Des Moines. He enlisted in the sixteenth United States colored infantry, served through the war and then came back to Des Moines and has since lived here. He is now a man of 64 years and the story of how he learned again of the whereabouts of his father reads like a romance. A short time ago a colored man—a tramp—came to Mr. Tolliver's home on Fremont street. Mrs. Tolliver gave him something to eat. The visitor asked her name. Mrs. Tolliver told him. He said he knew an old man of that name living at Leavenworth and that he was known as Alfred Tolliver. Mrs. Tolliver said at once this was the name of her husband's father. Mr. Tolliver was working south of the river at this time. Mrs. Tolliver kept the stranger until her husband returned, and the latter, after making minute inquiries, was assured he had at last discovered the whereabouts of his father. He wrote to Leavenworth for confirmation and received a reply that removed all doubt on the subject. Early this week Mr. Tolliver was visited by his brother Alexander of Tonganoxie, Kans. The two brothers had not met since 1862. From his brother Mr. Tolliver learned that his father was in good health and was able to walk about. He has planned to leave for Levenworth in a short time and there will doubtless be a family reunion well worth witnessing. While Alexander Tolliver was here this week the two brothers called on Capt. Amos Brandt at the state house and told him their remarkable story. Mr. Henry Tolliver had a son in Captain Brandt's company of colored taoops in the Spanish-American war.

EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS. To do justice in a write-up of Mr. Pleasant one ought to be there at least a day or so, yet one half day is short. However there seems to be but little change from last year, ex-cepter the Holley has removed his barber shop from the on the first floor and is now doing a large business in an up-to-date torsional shop. Mr. A. Carter was busy gathering his large plum crop. He will have many bushels. Mr. Mason's berries and other black berries and other fruits, and Boamer was wading into her berry garden like a farmer in a harvest field. Mr. S. H. McCracken is still operating his shop at the same old place, he owns some beautiful as well as beautiful berries and other berries also has some good property. Nearly all of the colored people own their own homes and seem to be happy and contented. This town has sent out more colored high school graduates and more college bred people than there are in the churches and societies are doing well. In Burlington we find but little change from last year. Mr. J. L. Brooks has married and has quit the road, where he had worked in the road, and where he has worked for years. He has now opened a rooming and chop house on Jefferson street and is doing well. Mr. S. L. Tigg is still in the U. S. mall service and lives on his dairy farm near town. He now has 26 head of milch cows and is doing well with his dairy, and he is doing well with the same place. Mr. A. L. Drew is still on the rural mail route; they have moved out in the south part of town and are doing well. Mr. Hunt and son are doing well, young Mr. Hunt is the only one there and he has all the money to make making shoes; he is a credit to the race. Mr. Peter King still operates his express wagon. Mr. J. W. Smith is still in the contracting business in his saloon; he has the best saloon of colored people in the state of Iowa. Mr. J. W. Smith is still on the force and becomes more valuable each day. Mr. O. F. Folks, a young man just graduated from the high school, will chronicle the Burlington news. The new subscribers are C. N. Nelson, Mrs. M. H. Harriell, Mrs. A. W. Harriell, Mrs. L. Wheeler, J. E. Johnson and O. F. Folks. At Ft. Madison we first met something that we had never seen before, a colored haggagman for the C. B. & Q. Ry Co., in the person of Fred Henry. He has worked his way up, having worked in the freight and storage department for fourteen years. He is an lowborn and raised in Ft. Madison. He has been married only about three years and is highly respected. Mr. Yelser is one of the substantial men of the town. He holds a responsible position at the lumber yard, is superintendent of the lumber yard, and his wife is a helpmate in reality. A. L. King has a nice residence and is doing well. Mr. Harper is doing well, also Mr. Higginbotham. Both Sunday schools had joined together and gave a picnic that day.

Jewels Require a Rest. Many jewels require an occasional sleep, so to require, in order to retain their brilliance, diamonds, rubies and sapphires are among the number. They should be put on, to total darkness now and then. The usual velvet or satinlined cases are the correct receptacles. It is best to wrap gems in jewelers' thins paper, then in pack in wool and lay in airlight compartments. A number of stones are seriously affected by fumes from furnaces, sewer gas, moisture and air air. OBITUARY. DEATH OF MRS. CHARLES HARRIS. We received the sad news of the death of Mrs. Chas. Harris of Minneapolis, Minn. She died Monday, Aug. 3 at the Swedish hospital, from the terrible shock that she received when notified of her husbands death. She was the wife of the late Chas. Harris who was accidently shot on the dining car of the Great Western R'y. Co. She was so greatly shocked when brought here that she did not realize anything and left Ottumwa where her husband was buried in the same condition, from which she never recovered. Her former home was in Fon Du Lac, Wac., where her remains will be taken for interment. She was about 24 years old and a loveable young woman. Her former name was Miss Belle Johnson. She leaves a mother, two sisters, who were present when she died, and a brother and step-father. Her folks are highly esteemed in Wisconsin where they have lived for the past 40 years. Mr. R. N. Hyde of our city, who so kindly assisted Mrs. Harris when she was here, visited her when he was in Minneapolis last week. He has just received a letter from the Harris family of Ottumwa and they are much grieved to hear of her death. CLINTON. Again we are called upon to chronicle the death of one of Clinton's old and well known citizens, Albert Meadows, who had been quite ill for several months, and on the line for several months. He represented the A. M. E. church and Sunday school in the convention at Burlington in June. Upon returning home he was taken ill, being unable to perform his daily labors to any extent, and was consequently to go the hospital, at which place his death took place on Saturday.morning at 9 o'clock, the cause of death being a complication of diseases. Albert had a number of friends and colleagues. The past three years he has been the superintendent of the Sunday school, also being an official in the church at the time of his death. He had been a resident of Clinton for a number of years, and was employed as janitor of the Sheridan club rooms. He was born in Tennessee. At the time of his death he was 69 years of age. His funeral took place Sunday at 9 o'clock from the church, assisted by Rev. P. T. Taylor and W. W. Russell, interment taking place in Springdale cemetery. Rev.

Bishop Abraham Grant arrived in the city Tuesday at 5 p. m. and at 8:30 he addressed a good sized audience composed of the members and staff of the church. The attendance was not so large as it would have been had the weather not been so warm. Those present nevertheless received a treat. The bishop possesses a gift of wonderful oratorical powers. On this occasion he met with the congregation and fitted the church with palms and other plants, which together with the beautiful surroundings, the church having just been turned over from the hands of the decorators, presented a pleasing effect. During the evening several people came by a trio of ladies, Mrs. Williams also the bishop Holy City. the bishop left Wednesday afternoon for Davenport, continuing his tour of the state. G. W. Lucky of Spring Valley, III., attends the attendance at the funeral of Albert M. Time and space will not allow us to mention the many words of praise which have been accorded the ladies who took upon themselves the responsibility of decorating Bethel church. There effort was certainly a grand effort to make others feel that they should be commended. The ladies were ally assisted by Rev. P. P. Taylor and David Winfield. At the conclusion of the bishop's address Tuesday night the ladies made a liberal payment on the decorator's account as a result of the financial effort. We spent weeks to conference.

OBJECT TO OFFICIAL BADGE The Old Soldiers at Waterloo Think Governor Cummins Should Not Appear Thereon—Opinion is Somewhat Divided. Waterloo, Aug. 4—The first of the Iowa G. A. R. badges for the national encampment to be held at San Francisco, bearing a portrait of Governor Cummins, have been received in this city, and have been the subject of an animated discussion by the old soldiers of Robert Anderson post. Many of the encampment badges to be portraits of the governor on the badges, and several have refused to don them, declaring that they will attend the encampment minus badges of any sort because the one provided by the department. A prominent member of Robert Anderson post said today that he did not know whether or not Governor Anderson had to have the badge adorned by his portrait, but that it looked to him like a scheme to secure political favor. He also sighed that there was a move on Anderson to take the matter up with Department Commander Raymond, in an endeavor to have the delegates furnished badges which did not bear the portrait of the governor or anybody The question of the 1903 badges for the G. A. R. delegates has been freely discussed for several days, or ever since it was known that they were to bear the portmanteau of the first of the badges arrived, the matter was freely discussed by a large number of G. A. R. men. There seems to be quite a difference of opinion on the subject. Some of the members feel that it is entirely appropriate to the likeness of the governor, while others declare that they will not wear them. It is expected that a letter from the disatisfied element will go forward to Department Commander Raymond today, and an official will be addressed by a number of letters from individuals in this city. The badges in question were obtained recently by Assistant Adjutant General Newman of the state G. A. R. department. At the last state encampment Dr. Newman will authorize a design for a badge and have badges made, from the sale of which a part of the expenses to the national encampment at San Francisco could be defrayed. Dr. Newman designed an especial and endoneath bearing a likeness of the officer Cummins. There was some question as to whether the likeness of a civil war commander or the governor should be used. It was thought by Dr. Newman to be eminently fitting to the officer's likeness as representing the entire state. It does not appear here that the opposition to the use of the governor's likeness is serious. The badges have been placed on sale at 50 cents apiece and large numbers of them have been disposed not only to the veterans, but to others. NEW LUTHERAN COLLEGE.

Mason City, Aug. 5—Not for thirty years has Willow Creek caused the damage done today. It flows through the business portion of the city and a cloudburst last night changed it into a torrent bursting from its banks.

GERMAN YOUNG PEOPLE MEET Waterloo is Entertaining the Evangelical Young People's Society.

BEEF AND PORK HAVE GONE UP A GREATER RAISE IS FEARED. Local Markets Are Affected by the Change-Iimpossible to Secure Any Corn Fed Cattle-No Combine Say the Dealers. Des Molines, Aug. 4.—The price of back milk is made by the wholesale dealers and big packers has risen a cent and a half in the last few days and promises to rise still higher. Retail prices on meat are taking a corresponding increase. Questions on beef and pork were wasted was 6 1-2 and 7 1-2 cents wholesale. On pork the price is fluctuating between 9 1-2 and 10 1-2 cents as quoted by the packers. Kansas City dealers declare that beef and pork meet combine and declare that prices will be boosted into the sky before the passing of fall. Local dealers, especially the big wholesaler, are inclined to grin at the story, saying that the beef by the scarcity of corn fed stock alone. W. P. Crewe, manager of the local Swift plant, this morning said: "The prizes have risen and the content and a haircut is still available, but the increase is not the result of any meat combine. It is because it is almost impossible to secure any corn fed cattle, but it is because the majority, of people are eating grass fed beef at the present time. The scarcity of corn for feeding has caused the cattle to eat less yet, but it will be nothing alarming." Another prominent dealer stated that prices of beef would be continued higher for some time. Cattle of any kind, even grass fed, he declared to be scarce. Good prime selling beef, corn fed, is worth $2.20 and $5.30 on the hoof now. This is an advance of almost $1.00 a head on what is normally $1.50 a week ago. There is not only a scarcity of good stock for feeding, but there is also a scarcity of grain. A combination of the two is bound to run up the price. PUMPING AN INCH EACH DAY. Corn All Over Iowa is Maturing Very Rapidly. Des Moines, Aug. 5: "Corn is pumping water at the rate of an inch per day," said Director Sage, of the state weather and crop service bureau, yesterday afternoon. "The heavy rains which have been causing the rate of Iowa" he explained, "will do little damage and very much good, as corn fields at this period will require for good crops a solid inch of water. Corn is maturing, and it is the filling of the ears which makes such a heavy demand on the earth for heavy corn bulletin issued by the department today will show corn in a good stage of advancement. Iowa oats are all harvested, and threshing is the order of the day on farms in every section of the state on the crop it turning in, and with the crop it remains which have been blessing Iowa, that corn which was planted promises to give a remarkable good yield to the area. Kansas had another heavy rain, and word has been received at the local weather bureau office to the effect that farmers there are exceedingly The Monday morning shower in Des Moines amounted to .52 of an inch. There was a good steady rain for several hours after the storm. Sage, the water had little time to rest before it was converted into Iowa corn. CORN DAMAGED BY WINDS Many Barns Blown Over in Warren and Madison Counties. Wick, Aug. 7- A terrific wind storm accompanied by a downpour of rain amounting almost to a water spout passed over some hills yesterday at a little before noon, doing untold damage to corn, orchards and farm improvements. In this vicinity the wind was so terrific as to amount practical rainfall. Barns and farm buildings were over and windmills topped on many farms. Corn was flat lat upon the earth and orchards are in ruins. On the Howard Davidson and Gibson farms barns were flooded and Duff farms mills were blown down. Many of the farmers in this neighborhood suffered from loss of crops. The storm came up from the hills thirty minutes. Scores run for cellars and cyclone caves. Thomas A. Walker, an old resident here says that he never saw a heavier wind in this part of the state. His corn was blown to the ground. It is luck that the tree was not shaken by hail," said Mr. Walker, "or our corn would be a total loss. As it is the damage is more than can be estimated at this time." Apples were shaken from trees and in many instances the tree uprooted. Shade trees on man-made the streets of this place were broken and uprooted. A PLUM PIT IN THE THROAT.

Leo's Successor. CARDINAL SARTO SUCCEEDS LEO GREAT CEREMONIES IN ROME. Pope Pius the Tenth is the Name of the New Elect—He is Not Well Known, But General Satisfaction is Evident Throughout the World. Rome, Aug. 5.—Cardinal Macchi, secretary of apostolic briefs, announced to the crowd assembled before St. Peters that Cardinal Sarto had been elected pope, and that he had taken the name of Plus X. The troops on duty immediately fired on the pilots and presented arms. At ten minutes after 12 aftime, Pope Plus X appeared inside the balcony of the Basildica and blessed the popu lace, amid the acclamations of the enormous crowd assembled upon the Glusepe Sarto was born in Riesel, diocese of Treviso, June 2, 1835, and was created cardinal by Leo XIII, at the conclusion of June 12, 1893, receiving the title of S. Bernardo delle Terme. He is also patriarch of Vence since June, 1893, and bishop of Mantua. He belongs to the catholic congregation of Bishops and Sacred Rites, Indulgences and Sacred Relics. Cardinal Sarto enjoys great popularity in his diocese, and is honored by all his purity, for the strict uprightness of his life and the respect he has for the people and agreeable man, highly cultivated, very kind-hearted, still strong and robust in spite of his 68 years. He has never taken great part in the political and public life of the city, and time between study and good works. Although most faithful to the Holy See, he was presented to the king and queen of Italy in Venice. He may have been a liberal member of the Italian episcopate and sacred college. He is rather timid in expressing an opinion. It is said that Leo XIII, always thought very high above the rest, was disappointed by Rammola's policy. While Prince Chigl, the master of the conclave, was drawing up the official act of the election and acceptance of the newly elected pope, the latter surrounded by his friends, disappeared into a small room near the altar, where he donned, with who can say with what feelings, and pummeled his robes of his office. X was assisted by his conclavist, who first knelt and kissed his master's hand and thus received the first apostolic blessing given by Pius X. The new pope was attired in white with the exception of red shoes, which was quite regular, but he did not stop to remove the red cardinal's stocking for the white palen ones and these showers were made for him. When he was quite robed, the secretary of the conclave, Monsignor Merry Del Val, kneeling, offered him the papal white cap, amid breathless silence. He did not follow precedent created by Pope Leo, who included the ceremonies as a sign that he would soon be created a cardinal, but with a slight smile Sarto took the white cap, placed it calmly on his head and dropped the red one slightly on the head of Monsignor Merry Del Val. This is taken as a certain indication that the happy recipient is soon to be raised to the cardinalate. As the new pope stepped from behind the altar, the only touch of color about him being the red and gold shoes, he really seemed to be the emperor of the kingdom, his white pals and clearly softened by emotion. He paused a moment as he came before the expectant cardinals, then seated himself on the throne with a hurried movement, as though he had been sent to the altar and to the altar and he was enthroned to serve the so-called "first obedience" of the cardinals. They came forward, one by one, some calm and smiling, others sober and non-committal, while even at this hour, in concealing their too obvious disappointment. All kissed his hand and foot, while he saluted each other, with the help of his hands. Then all blew up to deum with such effect that scarcely an eye was dry. Plus X then rose and in, at first, a voice tremulous, but gradually becoming full and firm, administered the papal blessing to all of the members of the sacred heads received the heads uncovered. The fisherman's ring, not yet having been found, a new one, designed by Camerlenge Ogreia, was placed on the pope's finger as a symbol of reverence. To the Catholics of London the election was a great surprise; the first question was "Who is Sarto?" with high church dignitaries being "Who is Sarto?" Books of reference were quickly hunted up in order to ascertain knowledge of the case. This afternoon a cable dispatch was received at the archbishop's house from the English college at Rome, formerly announcing the fact of Sarto's election. The churchmen at Westminster express the interest that the new ppe will a quiet easelist in politics and probably will pursue a policy designed to harmonize conflicting interests. The few who are acquainted with him say he is highly esteemed by the Italian government and was a close friend to King Humbert. There was much pressed as to what he would be announced to be Pius X. Pope Plus X has expressed his desire not to dissolve the conclave until this morning. It is supposed that the cardinals will therefore remain in their present quarters until the conclave of Cardinal Carlo's election was received with wild enthusiasm on the part of thousands of persons who had gathered outside the chapel. The scene within the Basilica when the pope pronounced his benediction, was one of unparalleled excitement and enthumaption with their cathedral cheered and waved their hats. All is now quiet. CONVICTS AND MILITIA FIGHT. Posses Meet Escaped Men and Desperate Battle. Commences. Placerville, Cal., Aug. 3.—Tonight shortly after 7 o'clock, Company H, of the California National Guards, met the escaped convicts on the Pleasanton Valley road, seven miles from Placerville, and a terrific battle ensued. Private Gill, of Company H, was shot through the body from the right to the left shoulder, as the shooting began. The wound will prove fatal. When carried from the field by a relief force sent to the scene of the attack, the rescued the neighboring passes, he stated that at least four of his comrades were hit by the convicts and probably killed. It is not definitely known what happened to the desperadoes, but it is assumed that two were shot and dropped in the brush and are supposed to be dead. Every available man and boy in the town of Placerville has been armed and all are now on the way to the scene of the fight. The soldier is at the base of a great hill adjoining the sit of the Grand Victory mine. When the fighting began, Sheriff Bosquit was on the other side of the wall. With his men he started in the direction of the firing, soon as the firing commenced, and it is said is now in the thick of the affair. The affair tonight overshadows anything of a like nature that has occurred in the west. At least sixty men are fighting the fight. All sorts of rumors are floated in Placerville as to the result of the meeting between the soldiers and the convicts. The people are in a frenzy. Many of them have relatives at the front. As the darkness has set in, it is impossible to tell just how many were killed or wounded. The thick underbrush renders it difficult to find a man if he drops helpless to the ground. Dallas Bosquit, the son of Sherif Bosquit, is said to be among the stain, and a message by telephone says his friend found along the roadside. The greatest friend here comes Dill, who was unable to know that six of them went into the brush after the convicts, and the only trace of them was the wounded due concerning his companions. The three who had to take refuge in the Grand View there is talk of setting fire to it and driving out the desperate criminals. Another account of the battle reached Braindair F. Smith, chief clerk of Folsom. He was notified that three of the attacks had been and that it was presumed two of the convicts were badly wounded. Two of the killed are presumed to be Dallas Bosquit. Dill and one of the Sherif Bosquit's name has not been ascertained. The shooting was near Cool, a small city a few miles outside of Placerville. Des Moines, August 5, 1903. One of the most attractive exhibits at the Iowa State Fair, which will be held in Des Moines August 21 to 29, will be the display made by the manufacturing interests of Waterloo, backed by the Commercial Exchange and the Board of Trade of that city. It will be the display made by the State Fair. The purpose of it is to call attention to Waterloo as a leading center for the location of manufactures. It is proposed to exhibit in one large tent all the articles manufactured in Waterloo. As the location of establishments, there vary of articles displayed will be great, and will include not only a wide number of farm, implements but other manufactured products ranging from overalls to automobiles. A collection of the items displayed in Waterloo recently waited on Secretary Simpson at Des Moines and perfected arrangements for the exhibit. It was at first thought that a permanent building would be erected. Owing to the fact that it was intended to wait until next year before putting up a building. A large tent will be located a short distance west of the entrance to the amphitheater. It will be 30x250 feet and will be nicely decorated. Among the items displayed will be one of the bands of the country. Correspondence has been entered with leading musical organizations of Chicago and other cities. A whole trainload of manufactures goods will be brought to the station and the train will be handsonly decorated with flags and banners. Automobile races will be arranged for on the race track by the Waterloo delegation. It is the theory of the Waterloo business men that the training interests will attract new manufactures to that city. One of the implements displayed will be the Twentieth Century manure spreader, the factory for which has recently been bought by Waterloo, capital and material that is in another year, the example of Waterloo, which the fair management believes to be a goodwill, will be followed by other cities. The annual report of the United States pension office for the Iowa-Nebraska district, located in this city, has just been completed and signed by Pension Agent R. P. Clarkson. It covers the fiscal year ending June 30, and shows that there has been expended for old soldiers' pensions from the Des Moines office $7,504,218.48. Of this amount $5,052,120.43 went to Iowa $2,100,203.98 went to pensioners scattered throughout other states in the union. Recently there has been a great emigration of Iowa soldiers to California, Colorado, Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Oregon and South Dakota. To most of these states they have flooded up land claims in the nights. Hunting and fishing soldiers are continually moving about, and accordingly continue to keep their names on the pension books in this city. At the present time, however, there are more leaving than are coming to the state. This is because of the floods in Lake Placid, Some have even gone into Canada. When in Canada, the pensioner has to be classified in the Washington agency and receive his pay direct from there. There is talk in some quarters that an effort will be made in the legislature next winter to have a committee selected to visit and inspect the institutions under the board of control. In support of this idea it is urged there has been no legislative visitation since 1995. The legislature, in effect, that large appropriations are being required for the institutions and that the legislature should not be content with letting the board of control be the entire responsibility for the institutions. Judge G. S. Robinson of the board, in discussing the question of visitation, said: "I am sure the board would welcome the appointment of visitation fair legislature. There is absolutely nothing to conceal in regard to the management of the institutions, and the board courts the fullest and fairest investigation. The only regress that would be possible that it would hardly be possible to compare the condition of the institutions now with their condition before the board of control took charge, and thus the members of the board would be appointed to work with entire accuracy what improvements had been made." At a meeting of the republican state central committee at the Saviera it was decided to call a conference of the Iowa delegation and the candidates on the state ticket about the first of September. The exact date of the conference will be left to State Chancellor Thomas the reason to be considered in the fall campaign will be discussed. Senators Allison and Dolliver and all the members of congress, as well as other prominent republicans aside from the candidates, will be invited to attend. According to a story sent out from Sloux City, C. Smith of Storm Lake, T. W. Russell of Hampton, are candidates for the offices respectively of state printer and binder, and are seeking election at the coming general assembly. Both Mr. Smith and Mr. Purcell are well known newspaper men and politicians. Cats are licensed in Berlin, and every cat in that city must wear a metal bearing a number.

Women who suffer constantly with weakness peculiar to their sex cannot retain their beauty. Preservation of pretty features and rounded form is a duty women owe to themselves.

CONSUMPTION It is related that the dowager emperor of Russia once saw on her husband's table a document regarding a political prisoner. On the margin Alexander the Third had written: "Pardon impossible; to be sent to Siberia." The coxarina took up the pen, and striking out the semicolon after the colon, the emperor then the indorsement read: "Pardon; impossible to be sent to Siberia." The coxar it let stand. The late J. H. Shorthouse was afflicted with a terrible stammer, which he used to say was a blessing in disguise, having led him to use his pen as his great instrument of expression, however, when the stammer slammed and he said talk on interruptedly. One very striking and touching habit grew up out of the stammer. At "family prayers" he and his wife read all the prayers together; because, in an attack of stammer, he said the voice would carry on the throat till he heave covered, and the knowledge of this prevented all nervousness on his part. When the clever writer and carticaturist, Max Beerbohm, succeeded George Bernard Shaw as dramatic critic of the London Saturday Review, he was told by the manager that Shaw got setting it, getting such pay course, getting comparative (unexperienced), the manager added, "you can scarcely expect so much." "Oh, yes I shall," rejoined Mr. Beerbohm, demeaning more, "you more. You see," he explained, "as Shaw knows the drama thoroughly, it was perfectly easy for him to write about it. Whereas I know nothing, and it will be shockingly hard work." What Was It? Farlopart, Miss. Aug. 3rd—One of the strangest cases ever reported occurred here recently. The son of Mr. G. L. Butler was very ill. The doctor said he had some disease of the spinal cord, and treated him for two months, but he grew worse all the time. The doctor the doctor told Mr. Butler that he did not know what was the troubles. The boy would wake up in the night and say that he was dying. He would be nervous and trembling and want to run out of the house, saying he saw ugly things which frightened him. His father was very/much discouraged till one day he saw a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills advertised, and he at once bought some and began to treat his boy. He met together eight hours before he was entirely cured. He has not been troubled since. Mr. Butler says: "I feel it my duty to tell what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my boy. All this remedy needs is a fair chance and it will speak for itself." The house of representatives costs $400,000 a year, and the senate $1, $400,000. $100 REWARD $100.

Witn an increase of over $5,000,000 in the railway assessment and an increase in the taxable value of all property in the state of more than $65,000,000, the executive council completed its work on assessments last evening. The state levy was fixed at 3 mills, or one-half mill less than it was made a year ago. The council equalized the values on farm lands as returned by the counties, raising some of the counties and lowering others, and placing the adjusted actual value of all farm lands in Iowa at $1,457,548,730, or but $2,024,703 higher than the actual value of the same property as reported by the auditors. The following summary of the assessments results was given out by the assessors, less exemptions, is $1,864,364,561. The aggregate actual value of all the real property of the state as reported by the assessors, less exemptions, is $1,864,364,561. The council made no attempt to obtain the reported value of town lots, but did equalize, as between counties, farm lands. The present assessment of farm lands and town lots is 15 per cent above the assessment of 1901. The present assessment of farm land lots is 20 per cent above the assessment of 1901. The present assessment of railroad property is 20 per cent above the as assessment of 1901, and 10.1 per cent above the assessment of 1902. The comparisons the improvements added to real property, and the extensions of railroads are included. No comparison between the assessment of real property in 1902 and 1903 is made, because real property in 1902, 1902, except to add new buildings. The reported actual value of lands this year was $1,455,524,027, and the adjusted-actual value is $1,457,548,730. From this, it appears, as given in the table, that the total taxable value of aggregate of the farm land assessment the sum of $2,024,703. The net increase in the actual adjusted value of lands over 1902 was $207,624,971. One-fourth of this, or $51,906,243, is the increase in the taxable value of farm lands in Iowa given by the taxable value of the aggregate increase in the taxable value of all property in Iowa, given above, the farm lands bear about ten times as much as the railroads and by far the larger share of the increase. The seven counties in which there were farm lands were Jefferson, Lee, Louise, Lucas, Marion, Monroe and Poweshiek. It will be noticed nearly all of these are in the southern belt. The council lowered the reported valuation of farm lands in Polk county 7 per cent. No attempt was made to increase the taxable value of the total taxable value of personal property in the state is $112,044,014, but little increase over 1902. Girls Relatives Pay Losses.

Oer land and o'er sea I have roamed I've thought of sweetheart and of home And suddenly came a sad feeling at heart. And then I'd become reconciled, And say, "well I must be a child." And say, 'well I must be a child, They say when we weep, weep alone But some times we think of home. Now what is the use of one sighing, For some day we all will be dying. We make our lives heaven or hell, And the secret our heart never tells. Be kind and be true to all men And to conquer a foe we must learn The bible says we all must do Unto others as they'd have us 3p. As through the Bystander you read, Please think of me if thought is need. Don't think of me as one of note. For this journal before I have wrote. Your candid opinion I ask. This all from nature, not task. This world is like a snake in the grass. But we all must forget the past. Dairies of New York.

Strong, private secretary to ex-Congressman Hawley of Texas, is credited with being the clearest 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 said: "I am sorry to disappoint you after looking into such pretty brown 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.

OLD MACHINES EXCHANGED. Old furniture collectors in this city have lately been driving prices higher and higher. The rage for Chippendale and Sheraton patterns of the finer lines is greater than ever. Chairs especially fetch astonishing prices. Even dealers are paying in some cases as much as $50 for a single Chippendale chair of rare pattern, though it be out of repair. A collector in this city paid the other day $275 for a Chippendale armchair. Chairs of less unusual pattern are sold every day for $40, $50 and $100. —New York letter
