It is an interesting calculation in reviewing the part the magazines have played in the wide dissemination of literature to find out what the reader receives during the year. For one dollar—less than the price of the average novel—a magazine such as The Cosmopolitan spits fifty complete stories, one long novel, more than one thousand beautiful illustrations, twenty articles on popular science, invention and discovery, twenty articles on travel, twenty essays on the most important things to know regarding home life, marriage, choice of profession, etcetera, and twenty articles for young We received the news that Blind Boone's beautiful residence was burned this week in Warrensburg, Mo. Mr. Boone is the famous colored pianist. He had just boarded the train to leave the town on business. Mr. Boone's residence was a very nice house, costing several thousand dollars.

There is an effort on the part of the sporting world, especially in California, to get a match between Jim Jeffries and Sam McVey the big heavy weight colored man. "I will never fight a Negro unless the public forces me to," said Jeffries before leaving for Los Angeles last Thursday. "Have you stopped to consider what would become of the boxing game if a colored man were champion of the world? said Jeffries. "Why it would come pretty near to killing the game. Now, I think I have shown that I am not given to nicking and choosing. "I believe I would be a top heavy favorite if I was billed to box McVey and I am quite confident I could whip him as easily as I have whipped other fighters. But I don't intend to take a chance of the thing going the other way. I have the interest of boxing at heart and I am sure the sport would languish if a colored man were at the head of the principal class." In the above Jeffries admits that the coloreu man might whip him. It is not impossible and may be probably. He is using the above to adroitly evade meeting a colored man—like John L. Sullivan did by making some flimsy excuse. The very idea of a colored champion killing the game. That statement wont bear the searchlight of investigation. Did Dixon, who was champion light weight pugilist for ten year, or Peter Jackson hurt the game? Did Major Taylor, the champion bicycle rider of the world hurt it? Did young Bruce who led his class at Harvard last year and was the class orator; did that fact hurt education? No. There is no reason in Jeffries' utterance. It is simply silly, illogical and unreasonable. In fact it is a way to evade fighting a colored man if possible. While we are not pugilists or even favor the sport, yet we hope that the pugilistic world will either force him to take off the championship belt or fight any man who may challenge him with sufficient backing. CLIVE IOWA THE SCENE OF WHITE CAPS. Last week an unsuccessful attempt was made to blow up the home of Mr. I. J. Anderson in Clive, a village only five miles west of Des Moines. The parties placed dynamite under the full length of the house and set it off about 2 o'clock a. m. The dynamite exploded and destroyed only a part of the house; the noise was distinctly heard for miles away. About two weeks before this happened an unsuccessful attempt was made to burn the house where Chas. Richardson use to live until he moved to town. His son Elmer still lives and batches there, but was away the night the house was set on fire. The door was saturated with coal oil but the neighbors saw the blaze and put it out. The same night that they dynamited Mr. Anderson's house they tacked up the following card: "All negroes are warned to 'git.' They are not wanted in Glive, and any white men employing them are liable to have 'something happen' to them. Section foreman employing negroes better 'fire' them at once or there will be trouble." Then they sent unsigned letters to Ex-Representative Chas. Steward, a wealthy farmer, Mr. Olesen the Milwaukee section boss and another letter to Mr. Kirk, warning them to not hire any more colored people. The better element of whites are indignant over this matter and they with the colored people are trying to ferret out those cowardly villains. The colored people living out there own their homes and are highly respected by their neighbors. Representative Men Convene. Nashville's Gates Thrown Open to the Notable Gathering, the Body of Which Represents the Brains and Sinew of the Race. Nashville; Tenn., (Special)—The National Negro Business League met here today for its fourth annual session in the hall of the House of Representatives, State Capitol building. The following resolution granting the use of the hall was introduced in the House of Representatives, General Assembly, March 23, and unanimously adopted. Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, that the use of the hall of the House of Representatives be, and the same is hereby granted the colorcidities of Nashville for three days in the month of August, 1903, for the purpose of holding a meeting of the Business League, which has for its aim commercial, agricultural, educational and industrial betterment of the colored race." The League is especially proud of the recognition of its importance given by the General Assembly of the state of Tennessee. The following are the officers of the Business League: Mr. H. Boyd, Nashville, Teen; second vice president, W. O. Murphy, Atlanta, Ga.; third vice president, Charles Banks, Clarksdale, Miss.; secretary, Emmet J. Scott, Tuskegee University; retard, Edward E. Cooper, Washington, D. C.; treasurer Gilbert C. Harris, Boston, Mass.; compiler, S. Laing Williams, Chicago, Ill.; registrar, Peter J. Smith, Boston, Mass. Not less than 500 delegates are in attendance from nearly every state in the Union and representing every line of business activity. The morning session was made especially notable by the presence of James H. Excellency, Governor James B. Fraser, and the president both of whom made addresses of welcome, and both of whom were especially cordial in endorsement of the purpose of the League. Booker T. Washington, as president of the organization, delivered his annual address, following the addresses of welcome. The sessions will continue for three days, concluding Friday evening with a banquet to be tendered by the local government, the officers and members of which have had charge of all arrangements. The program is a varied and interacting one, and is confined entirely to representatives of the Negro people who have actually succeeded in the race. The program is also relevant to which they are to speak. Some of the jects and speakers will be: "The Insurance Business," E. J. Young, Charlotte, N. C, and F. C. Johnson, Mobile Ala.; "White Coat Manufacturing," H. Sanders, Indianapolis, Ind., Jr. New York City, N. Y. R. D. L. Touljean, Columbus, Miss.; E. C. Brown, Newport News, Va.; "The Negro as a Factory Operative," J. E. Wiley, Dallas, Tex.; "The Negro in Blacksmith Henderston, Wagon Building," E. A. Clay, Henderston, Wagon Building, N. J. Bison, Nashville, Tennessee; "The Hotel Edward Berry, Athens, O.; "Chiropody," Wm. Emmanuel, Cali-ck, Ill.; "The Negro in Pharmacy and a Drugstrict, T. hos W. Patrick, D. Boston Mass, A. DeJour, Sr., New York, N. Y. St. Louis, Mo.; "Opportunities Offered by Banking," J. N. Connor, Little Rock, Ark, and J. N. Donoho, Pine Bluff Ark. The other discussions will be on such subjects as "The Gro- cery Business," "The Jewelry Bui- lard, Hoo and Shoe Business," "Laundering," "Cotton, Merchandising," etc. The most interesting feature of the meeting of the League is a photographic exhibit of Negro men and their places of business, both inside and outside views. These afford notable evidence that the Negro is really make-up of Negro men. The exhibit covers nearly every aspect of the Union and is a warrant for the statement that the Negro is pushing rapidly forward in business pursuits. The League is being well treated and cordially received on all sides by whites and blacks alike. The Negro American has extended the following statement: "Nashville is soon to have within her gates Negros from England, as well as the Golden Gate of San Francisco. From many portions of the broad environs of the Union they are coming here to tell what has been accomplished industrially for the uplifting betterment of the race, and to plan the further achievement by the Negro of that which is of use and value. "Surely it is the duty of the white man to vouchsafe encouragement to this condescile, holding the purpose and object it does. It is meet that the movement should receive not alone commendation, but support. Its benefit is not to be computed in a moment. "Many of the members of this League, representatives of the intelligence and honesty of the race, and its higher ideas and better thoughts, successful most of them by frugality and perseverance, are examples to induct them and to brethren of the masses, or shame them into following after the precepts set. It is not an assembly for the discussion of the dead languages or a difficult algebraic equation, but a gathering of Negroes who have succeeded in honest labor, who come to the Negroes' aid, and who race the benefits of their experience. "We are not disposed to discuss the benefit or efficacy of higher education for the Negro. We do extend the hand of commendation to these Negroes who are succeeding in their pursuits. More of such and the women who are commended and there will be less activity for the jury in the woods." TOWA STATE FAIR. This week the Iowa state fair has been in progress, but owing to the constant rain, especially Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the attendance was cut down from the expectancy, yet considering the weather a very large crowd was present. The exhibits were greater than any previous year. The fine stock, swine, sheep and poultry display was the finest ever seen in the west and the art and implement departments were above the former exhibits. The races were called off on account of the muddy tracks. The burning of Rome was poor on account of the weather, yet the fair managers think they will come out even in finance, which is good. WHITE CAPS IN After a laps of nearly forty years White Caps show nefarious anarchistic hand in Clive, Iowa, a suburb town of Des Moines. This time this sly sneaking monster of prejudice and hate, showed up in the form of incendiary and dynamite, attempting to destroy the homes of some colored people, giving no excuse or cause or cause at all. The editor had an interview with several colored and white citizens living out there and they were astonished at such sneaking and cowardly acts; for those colorec citizens, less than a dozen families, are industrious, quiet peacable and law-abiding. Never has there been an arrest there since they have been out there. They all own nice homes and some very valuable land. One man advanced the idea that the cause was to threaten them so they would become dissatisfied, sell and leave the village. Whatever may be the cause the acts of those cowardly villains are more dangerous then anarchists or traitors, and if they are caught, which we hope they will be, they ought to be sent to the penitentiary for life or hung, foa this white capism, 'Tillmanism, mobism and lynching is fast speeding to the north. It must be stopped. HUNTING LOST FRIENDS. Wallace, Iowa, Aug. 14. Mr. Editor I would like to know if there are any old soldiers in this state who were in the 47th regiment, Company B of the U. S. colored infantry. If so, do they know a soldier by the name of George Green Johnson. If so please write to Cards of Thanks Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Rivers wish to thank their many friends for the kindness shown them while with their only beloved daughter Josephine, in sickness and death. I desire to express my sincere thanks to the many friends, who so easily assisted me during the sickness and death of my husband.

Did it ever occur to you that the bunch of colored ribbons you wear in your buttonhole—or pinned on your dress if you are a girl—at commencement, or at a baseball or football game, is really a flag? asks a writer in St. Nicholas. It tells to what class or school or college you belong, or which of these, for the time, has your interest and sympathy. And for some what similar reasons do nations wear their colors. At first, please, it was to tell one another apart; but after awhile the colors—the flag—came to represent the nation itself; and the way the people acted toward the nation's flag was supposed to show the way they felt toward the nation. Believes Sea Serpent Exists! **Benethes Sea Serpent Exists** The naturalist of the Belgica expedition lately told the Zoological Society of France that he believes the sea to be lizard, and that it is not an imaginary creature, a song and story. He says it is not a reptile, but a mammal of the order of the phaliphae, to which family the seals being. In form it resembles somewhat the extinct plesiosaurus, attaining a length of 200 feet, the head and neck being one-fourth of the length, the trunk one-fourth and the tail one-fault. It never approaches the coast except in pursuit of the fish on which it lives. OBITUARY. DEATH OF MISS RIVERS. On last Friday morning about 11 o'clock the sad death call summoned at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Rivers, on Fifteenth and University avenue, and called their only daughter, Miss Josephine Rivers. She had been suffering a long time with pulmonary tuberculosis and other complication of deseases.

"Very good," replied McNichol, "Send your father around in the morning and you two stay at home."—Philadelphia Ledger. Advertising rates for display Adds 60 cents per inch, for each insertion.

BRUTAL CRIME COMMITTED Chas. Taylor of Evans Charged With Having Assaulted His Two Daughters—Hia Wife Was Also Brutally Beaten. Oakaloosa, Aug. 25. On the charge of having criminally assaulted two of his own daughters, aged 16 and 13 years, Charles Taylor of Evans, a coal mining near here, is in the Mahaska county jail at Oakaloosa, and is being protected by the officers from the penitentiary, where he served a hundred infurilated miners who declare their intention of lynching him. Taylor is a noted character, and has but recently been released from the penitentiary where he served a sentence, on conviction of having criminally assaulted an 11-year-old girl at Eddyville in 1901. His first crime yesterday occurred about 10 o'clock a.m. when he went to his home and began abusing his sister, who was the most likely ward his oldest daughter, Maude, who in fear started to run from the house. Taylor caught the girl, knocked her down and after pounding her into a state of semi-inability, accomplished his purpose despite the frindless nature of her mother. Mrs. Maude made her escape from the house and sought refuge at the home of a neighbor, where her daughter followed sometime afterward. She presented a most pitiful spectacle. Her face was covered in blood, and her throat gave evidence of the attempt to strangle her. After his wife and daughter had gotten away from him, Taylor ran to the home of a negro, where he remained in hiding several hours. While there, he terrified the inmates of the house to shoot anyone who came to take him. When the miners returned to their homes from work in the afternoon the story of the crime became known, and soon a mob of several hundred gathered and started after Taylor, who then fed to the woods. On his way away, the mob named Scott, where his younger daughter, Ruth, was working. He managed to get her away from the house on some pretext and assaulted her. The child is in serious condition. Late in the afternoon Taylor was murdered by Constable John Ruggenberg of Oskaloosa, near Olivette, and was captured. He was secreted at the edge of town until later and then hurried to fall here. He was of fully 500 men and boys on the streets at Evans last night and declare their intention of taking the prisoner from the officer, but so far no violence has been attempted.

As the horse turned around in his tracks he wound the wire around Mr. Estes' body, who was finally thrown from the horse and rolled by the aid of the wire for a considerable distance. The horse was by the force of being thrown from the horse. However, Mr. Estes was a mass of cuts from his hips upwards, his lower lip being almost severed, the jugular vein was exposed and his face and scalp literally covered with wounds. The horse was taken to Mr. Estes walked a mile for medical aid. The attending surgeon took sixy stitches, sewing on his lower lip. The patient refused to take any liquor or anthestics of any kinds and after the dressing of the wounds he was taken to his home. Mr. Estes is resting easily this afternoon and will probably recover. LEAPED FROM TRAIN Man's Face is Crushed While Alighting And He May Die. South Omaha, Neb., August 26—Frank Martin of Marshallown, Ia., is dying at a hospital here as the result of injuries sustained through jumping from a Burlington freight train. Martin is so badly injured that he can scarcely speak, and the attending physicians have no hope of his survival by the side of the Burlington track and a message was sent to police headquarters. A conveyance was procured and Martin was removed to the hospital. A investigation by the doctors showed that Martin had broken both jaw bones, the cheek bones and the nasal bones. In fact his face was completely crushed. After reaching the hospital the patient was unable to articulate. When he managed to speak he said that he had fallen from the Burlington freight train during the night. The police supposed that Martin had been injured a moving train and was struck by a brake beam. Treated Hired Man Like a Slave. Waukon, August 26—Max Promenitz informed his employer, Jake Beal, a milkman, that he could no longer deliver milk for him. Thereupon Beal, a milkman, threatened to take him, whipped him and threatened to shoot him with a revolver; also threatened to shoot Beal's mother and a young man who tried to prevent Beal's further abuse of him. The assault, brought Justice S. R. Thompson and fined $25 and costs. Malden Lady in Assault, Manhattan, August 26—Laura Larice, a maiden between 40 and 80, living alone at Albion, was critically assaulted by a man who entered her sleeping apartment, tearing out the window screen. She fought him an hour before he admitted his purpose. He escaped and officers are in pursuit. Ames, Aug. 28—Professor P. G. Holden of the agronomy department at the Iowa State college has recently returned from an extended tour of nearly a week over the southeastern portion of the state. With him at Ames yesterday was George S. Forest of Miles, Ia. Clinton county, superintendent of agriculture of the Iowa commission of the St. Louis office. Mr. Forest has been looking up crop conditions during the last week of the season in Delaware, Blackhawk, Buchanan, Butler, Hardin and Story counties. In addition to having covered the eastern half of the state, they have received reports from the larger part of the remaining portions of the state from corn breeders who attended the short course have last winter in corn judging. Both authorities agree substantially in their estimates for Iowa's corn crop, placing it at about 65 per cent of the total crop. "To give on an average in Iowa 65 per cent of an average yield we must have very good conditions for the rest of the season. Unless we have good conditions, we will hold off, we will hardly be so good a crop. The summer having been in some sections so cold, an early frost can be expected, and we must mean 65 per cent of our crop as the unusually behind." In the southeastern part of the state in Lee county, Professor Holden found crop conditions very poor. He said: corn bollers were not tall, and fall plowing could be done. Then a wet late spring added to the lateness of getting corn in and made replanting of large tracts necessary. Added to that, the seed used in many sections was poor. The early frosts and late frosts were very soft, the corn while yet soft and immature. This seed lacks in vigor and vitality, and while it germinated in many cases it will not produce. In many sections the corn is not yet in tassel, and such corn at this time of the year cannot be grown. The very best conditions are offered." He also stated that the backward state of the corn in parts of southeast Iowa was due to cold weather and a drought. During July and August some situations were better, but the rain, that on August 55. Through Cedar and Muscatine counties conditions are more favorable, a 50 to 55 per cent crop probably being a conservative estimate. About West Liberty Professor Holden said that the conditions predict 75 per cent of a full crop for that locality. Mr. Forest predicts a 60 per cent crop for the northeastern section of the state. He said, in substance: "In the east and north the corn crop is evener, has a better stand and is further advanced than faster growth." Clinton, at 75 to 80 per cent. In Payette and Delaware counties Mr. Forest estimates the crop at only about twenty bushels per acre. LAYS IT TO WHISKY. Bob Stricklen, Who Robbed Compan Inves, Drink is to Blame. Otumwa, Aug. 26. —Robert Stricklen, aged 22 years, was arrested by police Officer Nelson on the charge of having stolen $1,300 from Samuel Johnson of Centerville on the night of August 15. Deputy Sheriff D. B. Davis of Centerville arrived in the city yesterday, identified Stricklen as the man wanted in Centerville and took him back to that town. Stricklen confessed to the theft of Police officer that he had stolen the money. Stricklen was arrested in one of the worst dives in Otumwa and was intoxicated at the time. "Whisky has caused my downfall," she told the young man to the police. "It has stolen the money. I don't care what becomes of me. I'd like to be sent to some hospital where I can be cured." Since stealing the money Stricklen has been leading a high life. When arrested he had on his person $77.55. He was arrested since the money since the robbery have been $0.35. To the police he stated that he came to Otumwa immediately after robbing Johnson. From here he went to Kansas City, thence to Keokuk, thence to Springs, Mo, returning to Otumwa. Police Officer Nelson, who arrested Stricklen, was paid a reward of $100 for his capture. Postmaster Badly Shocked. Glmore City, August 28—This little city was shocked by the arrival of a letter from Chicago to the local postmaster informing him that he was living apart, and that he arrived of the letter the couple separated, and are living apart, awaiting developments. They have been living as husband and wife for fourteen years. It was a case of love alight. They met in Chicago and they were banded on a visit. The latter has kept up the search until he at last located her. It is said the postmaster has resigned his office. Nora Springs, Aug. 25—Some sneak thief got in his work at Hotel Standard, getting nearly $80. The thief took about $60 from the pants of Landlord Standard, which were under his head, and the thief was possibly the pants of Standard's dress which was lying on a chair by the side of her bed. Mr. Standard thinks he could put his hands on the thief, but of course is not absolutely certain. No arrests have yet been made. Lost Her Life by Bravery. Sioux City, August 22—Luella Anderson, who had been received from a gasoline blaze, she tried to rescue a smaller girl whose clothing had caught fire. Ida M. Illingsworth of Cambridge has brought suit against M. D. Illingsworth of the same village, for $5,000 damages alleged in her petition to have been sustained by her herling: false and malicious language uttered by the defendant in the case. Mr. Illingsworth, deceived by his father-in-law of Ida, and a short time ago herself and husband were divorced. Through the action and talk of her husband's father her peace of mind and general reputation has been infured to the extent that it weaves the damage and properly replace her before the eyes of a cold and cruel world. Jerome W. Lielstor, of Scranton, was struck by the engine drawing the gravel train while he was attempting to cross the railroad track and instantly killed him. He was the cause of his death. He leaves a wife. He was an old settler and about 10 years of age. President Orders Squadron to Beirut to Enforce Demands on Turkey. PUNISHMENT IS DEMANDED Wm. C. Magelissen is Assassinated by an Unknown Man at Beirut—Conference at Oyster Bay to Decide on Further Action. Washington, Aug. 28—The state department has received a cabbage from Minister Leishman at Constantinople, announcing that William C. Magelissen, United States vice consul at Beirut, Syria, was assassinated Wednesday while riding in a carriage. The American minister immediately brought the crime to the attention of the government and demanded action by Turkey. Acting Secretary Loomis requested him to demand the arrest and immediate punishment of the guilty persona. No demand for money indemnity for the man's family has yet been made, but that probably will follow. Magelissen was appointed from Minnesota. Admiral Cotton, commanding the European squadron, has been caned by the navy department to have his筐 in residence in more modest quarters in the Mediterranean sea, in case the demands of the United States government on the Turkish government are not compiled with. The minister, who was a Scandinavian, was appointed vice consul at Beliru in 1889. At the time of his appointment he was consular clerk in Turkey. Maglelsen was appointed on the recommendation of Senator Nelson of Minnesota. Minister Leishman's cablagem stated that the assassination occurred Sunday, the minister being informed of the crime by Consul Raynald. The underwriter was not seen, and is not known. The announcement of the assassination of the American vice consul following so soon upon the assassination of a Russian consul in Turkey created a sensation. The suggestion was made that such frequent assassinations indicate a very disturbed condition of affairs in the Turkish dominions. Minister Leishman gave no particulars of the assassination, but has no information as to the cause of the murder. The American government will insist that the local authorities be punished if they were derelict in their duty, and that the full message of the assassination perpetrators of the outrage. Beirut is a city on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean sea, and is a place of a considerable commercial importance. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. 28—President Obama has ordered that the European squadron, under command of Admiral Cotton, should proceed immediately to Beirut, Syria, to be in readiness to support any demand - made by the oligarch - of assassination of William C. Mackellen, United States vice consul at Beirut. For several days President Roosevelt has been following closely the developments of the situation in Turkey. With the country in such a turmoil as now prevails, almost anything is like a bomb with a bullet. With the subject the more carefully, the president and Secretary of State Hay had arranged for a conference today at Sagamore Hill. The secretary is now en route to Oyster Bay. At the conference today the president and Secretary Hay will consider the Turkish situation carefully and apply the lessons learned as to the attitude of the United States as respects the late serious phase of the matter. TAFT TO SUCCEED ROOT. President Authorizes Announcement of Change In Cabinet. Oyster Bay, L. I., Aug. 26—Secretary Root, under date of August 25, presented his resignation formally to the president. The resignation was accepted by the president with the permission of the president as secretary of war at least until January 1. General Taft of the Philippines will succeed Secretary Root. President Roosevelt authorized the following statement: "The president, some months ago, tendered the secretarial ship of war to J. W. Roosevelt, and arranged that he would succeed Secretary Root. Secretary Root will get out of office some time in January and Judge Taft will assume the duties of the office shortly afterward." The president also authorized the publication of the correspondence between him and Secretary Root, concerning the latter's resignation. SHAMROCK LOBT IN HAZE. In a Context Declared No Race Reliance, Gained, Bid Victory ance Gained Big Victory. New York, Aug. 28.—With Reliance less than a third of a mile from the coast, the team climbed the horizon, fully two miles astern of the gallant defender, the fourth race of the present series for the America's cup yesterday was declared off because of the expiration of the time limit. Five and one-half hours, as usual, were incurred for the official, it was no race, the defeat administered to the challenger was so gonemonious that whatever lingering ope remained in the breasts of the friends of Sir Thomas' boat vanished to thin air. Reliance's victory was not over until last Saturday. Outsailed, outpointed and outcooled, it was a procession start to finish. BREAKS TROTTING RECORD. Lou Dillon Goes a Mile at Readville, Mass., in Two Minutes. Readville, in before a great crowd of spectators at Readville resterday, and with the track and weather conditions perfect, Lou Dillon rattled a mile in 2:00, a new world's record. The previous record was 1:02.4, and the current record is Columbus, Ohio, last year. Lou Dillon's best time before yesterday was 1:02 3-4. Wright for Governor. Oyster Bay, N. Y., Aug. 26—Gen. Luke E. Wright of Memphis, Tenn. sill succeed Judge Fatt as governor of the state after becoming secretary of war next fearless, in accession to Ellis Rock. DESIGN SUGGESTED FOR MONUMENT IN WALL STREET ERECTED IN COMMON HAVE THE WALL STREET FLOOR IN THE STATE POLICE DEAR WITH US MANY SINCE LAST WEST, OWN IN THE WATERS VICTORY EASY FOR RELIANCE That Was Actual Time, But Allowance to Shamrock Cuts It Down... Lipton Still Hoping for the Success of His Boat. New York, August 23.—In a splendid 12 to 15 knot breeze, over a windward and leeward course of 30 miles, the gallant sloop Reliance Saturday beat Shamrock III in a commanding style by exactly nine minutes actual time, or seven minutes and three seconds after deducting the one minute and fifty-seven seconds which the defender concedes to Sir Thomas Tipton's third challenger on account of Reliance's larger sail plan as at the water's edge. In water fight with the ancient trophy which carries with it the yachting supremacy of the world, and by a strange coincidence, the first victory in the cup of 1908 occurred on the day of the old schooner America captured it for her famous race around the Isle of Wight. Reliance beat the British boat three minutes and twenty-four seconds in the day and thirty-six seconds and five minutes and thirty-six seconds in the run down the wind. The nautical sharps, who had already made up their minds on Thursday that the Rellance could take the measure of the challenger in any contest, had to test as conclusive, although they hardly anticipated so overwhelming a victory. The race even dampened the ardor of Sir Thomas who insisted, after Thursday's fukus, that his team had signed by Fife was greater than ever. Still like a true sportsman he does not acknowledge defeat, and hopes for better luck next time. The single criticism he gave was that the race is that the only shift of the wind which occurred was to the advantage of the defender. As this shift of wind occurred on the windward beat, even granting that at the turn, the time the defender gained on the run home was more than ample to have given her the race. It must be conceded, however, that Shamrock III showed herself a more adept defender, perhaps the abest craft in this respect ever sent across the ocean on a cup hunting expedition. For twelve miles the great single stickers raced like a team of horses and canoes, and the patrols made no attempt to conceal their nervousness. The size of the enormous excursion fleet and number of sightseers aboard, in the estimation of those who have witnessed many contests, made a record for an international cup race. ACTS OF BARBARISM. Repressive Measures in Macedonia Reach Limits of County London, Aug. 27.—According to a Sofa telegram to the Times, the Turkish repressive measures in Macedonia have reached the utmost limits of barbarism, and it is evident that it is the intention to accomplish by degrees the emulation. Within the last few days the Times' correspondent, 12 more Christian villages have been handed over to fire and sword and the women and the aged have been massacred indiscriminately. Convoys of priests have been murdered by their escorts on a way. A private letter from a foreign resident in Monastir says that even the local Turks are disgusted and meditate assassinating the consul, in order to provoke European intervention. Convoyes taking a terrible revenge and are executed revolutionary programme to the letter. The reported concentration of large Turkish forces in the Adrianople district at Mustafa-Pasha, Kliyag and other points on the Bulgarian coast, much apprehension in Sofa. In the dispatches from the near east, published this morning, a glomy view is taken of the crisis in the Balkans. According to reports from Constantinople, a rumor was current that warlord Bulgaria it was proved against Bulgaria. It was proved, but the state of popular feeling is said to be such that no other issue is regarded as possible. Black Sea Squadron Ordered to Return to Sebastopol. St. Petersburg, Aug. 24.—The Russian Black Sea squadron, which was ordered to Turkish waters, which arrived at Inlai, European Turkey, Aug. 19, to support Russia's demands on the sultan growing out of the assassination of M. Rostkovski, Russian consul at Monastir, has been recalled to Sebastopol, the squadron's point of departure. The recall followed a notification from the porte that the sultan had ordered all the Russian demands to be compiled with. Won Without Opposition in the Columbus Convention. Columbus, O., Aug. 27.—Mayor Tom L. Johnson of Cleveland was nominated yesterday for governor by the democratic state convention, and the Johnson programme was carried out so completely that every man on the Johnson slate was nominated by acclamation, excepting John L. Clarke for senator, who was endorsed on the second ballot. The name of John L. Zimmerman of Springfield was not nominated for the gubernatorial nomination. John H. Clarke, who will canvass the state with Mayor Johnson and other democratic candidates, has been a prominent attorney at Youngstown for many years, but now he is located in the city of New York, where he promotes candidates, the republican as well as the democratic candidates for senator and governor. The platform says: "Assembled in convention at Columbus, preparatory to the state election, we have been affirming the declaration on national issues of our platform of 1802, adopted at Sandusky, hereby renew our allegiance to the democratic party of the nation and again avow our devotion to the principles of its last national platform. We accordingly condemn collusion, trusts and trust fostering tariffs, repudiate government by injunction and oppose financial monopoly, together with every other legalized monopoly and legalized privilege. Adhering to these principles of the Kansas City government, we repeat our condemnation of all efforts to renounce or ignore them." While the platform contains more than 4,000 words, the above paragraph is the only reference to national issues. The people are asked to deter hate. State interests are to be sacrificed for the re-election of Hanna as senator. TURKS BOMBARD VILLAGES Inurgent Garrisons at Boufi Rakoro and Armesko Annihilated. Salonica, European Turkey, August 24. The villages of Bouf, Fakkor and Armekeo, near Florina have been bombarded and their insurgent garrisons annihilated. At Bouf 500 Bulgarians are reported to have been killed. The women and children escaped to the mountains. In an engagement at Gastroot, August 1., fourteen Kotmijatas were killed and thirty-seven were wounded. During another fight near Okrida, 217 Bulgarians were killed. An important action is proceeding and armored. The commandant there demands immediate reinforcements. Twowe battalions have started for Florina from Monastir. The insurrection of the vilvet of Adrianople, which started in the subdivision of Kirk-Killise, 32 miles from Adrianople, is spreading east. Several villages have been burned in the neighborhood of Inindii in which place the Russian squadron is anchored, and urgent demands have been sent to Adrianople for reinforcements. CALLS OUT ADDITIONAL ARMY. Sultan Forced to Put Immense Number of Troops in the Field. Hops in the Field. Constantinople, Aug. 27.—The government has decided to call to the colors all the remaining European reserves belonging to the Soviet Third army corps and a number of other reserves, which will bring the forces of the Turkish soldiers in Macedonia to 550 battalions or almost double those in the Turko-Greek war. The enrolment of such large bodies of troops indicate the neediness with which Turkey views the use of unison and her determination to use the means at her disposal to represent the enemy in Ibraam Pabasha, the new command of the troops, is a young man and capable of seven battalions have been dispatched to Foldina from Monastir.

Accounts of Most Honorable Leng Bertinacea Ran. and History of their Involvement. All previous records for railroad time from Atlantic to Pacific coast were broken on Friday, August 7, when the Hampshire special rolled the Hampshire over the Santa Fe at 8:08 p. m. Henry P. Lowe, of the Engineering Company of America, left New York Tuesday afternoon, August 4, at 2:44, immediately upon hearing of his daughter's fatal illness in the distant California city of Los Angeles, Catching the Twentieth Century Limited over the New York Central and Lake Shore Railroads, he raced westward to Chicago at an average speed of 48.5 miles per hour, arriving in Chicago on Wednesday afternoon Hurrying from the Lake Shore Railroad to Peabody job which was being fitted for him, the anxious友席 boarded the special and was outward bound twenty-three minutes after reaching the "Windy City." Composed of coach and hotel-car "Rocket" and drawn by a powerful iron greyhound, with Engineer Duggan at the throttle, the Santa Fe special leaped into the race, with orders to make no stops except those to take water and coal and to change engines and crews. Leaving Dearborn station, Chicago, the train struck out toward the Southwest, with a whirl and a rush. Swiftly rising to the level of the elevated roadbed, it was off on its way toward Juliet before the grief-striken passenger had had time to settle down for his long ride. Indeed, it cannot be missed. In all at all, for in his anxiety to cover the shortest possible time, Mr. Lowe repeatedly urged that the speed be increased, and for a great share of the distance he rode in the engine cab, the rumble and roar of the mighty locomotive soothing, in a measure, his troubled mind. Faster and faster the giant ten-wheeler flew. Faster and faster the local way stations whizzed by the windows in an indistinct cross. Crossing the State of Illinois in a space of time heretofore unequaled, the special rolled across the Mississippi at Fort Madison, clipped off a section of Iowa, traversed the northern part of the State of Missouri, bridged the broad Missouri river and steamed into Kansas City Union depot. With scarcely a halt in its wild flight it was off over the rolling prairie land of Kansas and on toward Colorado, climbing the ever-increasing grade as the Rockies were approached. On and on it aped, not only maintaining the schedule laid out, but gaining with every mile it flew. La Junta was reached at 9:10 a.m. August 6, and veering toward the southwest the special splice the southwest the special splice the Colorado and New Mexico wilderness, plunging into Albuquerque at 5:37 p.m. m. From Albuquerque straight west, crossing the desert of New Mexico and Arizona, surmounting the range of the Glorieta mountains, the train reached Soligman in western Arizona at 4:14 a.m. Aug. 7. Leaving here it climbed the Williams range and entered Golden State River at 1:06 p.m. on Friday, August 7, the train rolled into Los Angeles ten hours ahead of the schedule as originally planned, the distance from Chicago to the Pacific coast (2,285 miles) having been covered at an average of 42.8 miles per hour, beating the time of the Santa Fe's California Limited by fifteen hours and sixteen minutes. While he was still this side of the Rocky mountains, it was known that Mr. Lowe's daughter had passed away. Messages he were hurried ahead of the special. As the wires were down, the messages was not received by Mr. Lowe until he had reached Las Vegas, New Mexico. In spite of his disappointment, however, Mr. Lowe ¹ pressed his gratitude to the Santa Fe officials who had tried to the utmost to assist him in his trouble. "The time made by the Lowe special is an achievement of which we are justly proud," said Passenger Traffic Manager is the Santa Fe "Our only purpose is the ordinary speed could not avail Mr. Lowe as he hoped it right." This crossing of the American continent in seventy-three hours and twenty-one minutes establishes a record for the trans-continental trip that will not be surpassed for many days to come. When it is considered that the time was brought down to this remarkably low figure only by extraordinary speed on the level prairies and the broad table-lands, some idea of the tremendous strain may be gathered. For long distances a speed of considerably over a mile a minute was maintained. The route from the Mississippi to the Continental Divide is up grade, with much steep mountain biking in places. In 1900 a remarkable run was made by the Peacock from West to East, its average distance 41.7 miles an hour between Los Angeles and Chicago. This train, however, had the advantage of the down-grade from the Rockies to the Mississippi valley. The famous Nellie Hly special made the trip from San Francisco to Chicago in sixty-one hours at an average speed of 37.1-3 miles an hour. By a comparison of these schedules a fair idea may be gathered of the remarkable record of the Love special. This achievement will go down in red letters in the annals of railroad ing.

CURRIS SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF Best Oughey Syrup, Great Good, Use CONSUMPTION Krushevo Is Ruined and Uninhabitable and Turks Refuse Burial of Dead. Defenseless Women and Children Left Exposed to Weather and to Starvation—Turks Capture and Sack the Town. Monastir, European Turkey, Aug. 18.—The once beautiful city of Krushevo is a heap of ruins. The women and children are homeless, exposed to the weather and famine. The town is rendered uninhabitable by the odor of corpse which are being gnawed by dogs and pigs, the Turkish authorities refusing to allow them to be removed under the pretext that an inquest will be held. Krushevo is situated on the summit of a hill, eight hours distant and to the northwest of Monastir. It contained 2,000 houses and 10,000 inhabitants, mostly Vlachs, calling themselves Greeks. There were only 100 poor Bulgarian houses. The Vlachs travelled to Bulgaria who travel abroad on business, leaving their families in Krushevo. After making fortunes abroad by their diligence and economy, they return to spend their wealth in Krushevo, where they own fine houses, furnished with the luxuries of the surrounding villages have long enveloped the prosperity of Krushevo. The Macedonian committee in concert with Bulgarian bands has been completing arrangements during several months in the town. In July last the authorities of Krushevo, observing the threatening movement, begged the vall of Monastir to send reinforcements, as the garrison of thirty soldiers was insufficient to cope with an insurgent attack. The night of August 2 a band of three hundred insurgents, headed by Petroff, entered the town, discharging their rifles. The terrified inhabitants remained indoors. The band first burned the residence of the mud and massacred the soldiers and the officials of the town. On the following morning the Komitajis established a provisional government and instituted a new police and municipality. They killed ten Christians, who they believed had been commissioned. The notables of the town were compelled to contribute $10,000 to the revolutionary fund. The Turks informed of the capture of the town, sent from Perlp three squadrons of cavalry, which were attacked en route to the town to be retaken by 100 killed. On August 13, the Turks concentrated seven battalions and one battery on Krushevo. They made an offer to the Komitajis to allow the women and children to leave the town. This proposal was declined, and the Turks quickly abandoned the town and escaped to the neighboring forest, where pursuit was impossible. The Turks entered the town and guided by Turkish villagers from the neighborhood, attacked the houses of the Greek notables and ordered the villagers to theyseize the money and jewels they seized the women, those who resisted being killed. RELIANCE AGAIN A VICTOR American Boat Takes Second Race in the Cup Contest. New York, Aug. 26—In a glorious breeze, over a triangular course, ten miles to a leg, the fleet-footed cup defender, Reliance, again yesterday showed her heels to Sir Thomas Lipton's challenger, taking the second race of the cup series of 1903 by the second race of the second seconds. It was as pretty and as hard a fought contest as has ever been sailed off Sandy Hook and had the wind not fallen during the last 10 minutes, the record for the course, three hours, 12 minutes and 15 seconds, made by Columbia two years ago in rock II. would have been broken. As it was, Reliance sailed the thirty miles within two minutes and 39 seconds of the record, which speaks wonders for her speed in the wind that was blowing. Reliance's victory, narrow as it was, would have been even skipped by the sailor of the British boat, bungled the start, sending his craft over the line 19 seconds after the last gun, and aandcapping her to that extent. At every point of sailing the defender's superlority was demonstrated. She gained one minute and 51 seconds in the run to the second mark, and 45 seconds on the close reach for home. Based upon the magnificent showing she has made in the two races already sailed, it is the belief of many experts that the cup is safe and that it will take something better than Fife's latest creation to even budge it. Clothing by electricity will be worn by the Duke of Abruzzi during his next polar excursion. The piece passes through a network of asbestos-coated railings lining of his apparel.

Aware of this state of things, a minister at Strand, Oklahoma, announces that heater heats the church lighted in his church, but will preach in churches and will darken the church for the lay services.

Indignant at being held in the city, jail among the "drunk" and "confidence men," George A. Williams of Chicago, son of Rev. A. C. Williams, formerly of this city, is threatening to bring an action against the city and the police department. George A. Williams, an arsonist, held for indictment by Chief of Detectives Ell Hardin and another officer. He was held in the city jail for two days and claims he was fed upon the soup and denied the privacy of his cellmate with the outside world. He is a nephew of J. L. Waite of the Burlington Hawk-Eye and of Judge John Powers of Burlington, and says he came to Den Moines. Here he had his hotel and stopped a couple of men to ask his way. They turned out to be detectives and instead of helping him out, took him to the city jail. There he met the greatest indignities and a swerd he will have justice if he has to carry the matter to the highest courts in the country. He went to the clerk of the United States circuit court concerning the greatest indignities and a lawyer. Being a resident of another state his action, if brought, will be in this court. Mr. Williams is himself a lawyer. The police claim he had felt guilty and is alleged, was unable to give a good accounting of himself. To warn old soldiers and old soldiers' widows against the frauds being perpetrated throughout the country, 70,000 special notices will be issued from the local pension office to different points in Iowa and Nebraska. Men claiming to be agents for the United States in Des Moines and other cities and extorted money from pensioners by promising to secure an increase in their pension or where none is held to get them a pension. From some people they obtained $25 or $30, and the government would be forthcoming soon. But the pension or increase does not appear, and complaints are then made to the government. The United States officials have been after the swindlers for some time, but as yet have been uninterrupted. The graffers jump from one large city to another. There are several victims in Des Moines. Elli Rail of Birmingham, Iowa, won the scholarship in the State Agricultural college offered by the state department of agriculture to the young man who, in an open contest, at the state fair would show himself the best judge of corn and live stock. Mr. Rail won the contest by a margin of 12.5 points against 27.2 1:2 won by his nearest competitor, M. S. Barclay of West Liberty. C. W. Robb of Newton had 275 points, and while Mr. Rail secures the scholarship, Messrs. Barclay and Robb were given honorable mention. Mr. Rail was the winner for the scholarship. They came from all portions of the state. Their markings ranged from 162 points to 343 points, won by Rail. The Northwestern Life and Savings Insurance company of Des Moines has been sold to the Northwestern National Life Insurance company of Minneapolis. The Des Moines company was a stock concern with $100,000 cap and $100,000 total capital concern. Officers of both companies declined to state the consideration paid. It is understood, however, that the deal involved between $300,000 and by the insurance departments of both Iowa and Minnesota. Contracts have been filed by the Minnesota company with Auditor Carroll of Iowa and Commissioner Elmer E. Dearth of Minnesota. The company is sure all of the policies of the Des Moines company now outstanding and to carry out their terms as written. That is, for no new policies will be subtotal for the ones taken to the purchase of the policies held by the Iowa company, but the provisions of the Iowa contracts will be fulfilled. To this end the securities which are held by the auditor of state will not be held by the possession of Mr. Carroll. There are about $1,600,000 of them. The weekly report of Director Sage, of the Weather and Crop service, summarizes conditions as follows: In response to a circular, special reports have been received as to the probable length of time required under normal conditions, and the danger of harm by killing frost. Reports on an unusually variable condition of the crops as to stage of growth and prospective output. Even in the same districts and adjoining counties, marked differences are in evidence. The crop was planted early, and made a fair start; and this portion of the crop on an average may be safe by September 10 to 20. A portion of the later planted (possibly 20 per cent of the crop) was planted by September 30. With favorable weather till October 10, we may reasonably expect to harvest sound corn in three-fourths of the area planted and not abandoned to the weeds. The output from this area will range from 10 to 20 per cent from frontless period through September and a little beyond, the total yield for the state may equal the crop of 1901.

MILL, Blooming City, A well-known English surgeon was impaired come clinical instruction to half a dozen students who accompanied him in his rounds, the other day. Pausing at the bedside he doubled your attention to the patient, you think that is, or is not, a case for operation? One by one the students made their diagnosis, and all of them answered in the negative. Well, the wielder of the free and fashing scalpel, "and I shall operate to mor- now." "No, you won't," said the patient, as he rose in his bed; "six to good good majority; glimms my mystery." The other day, Secretary Hitchcock referred the following letter, addressed to him, to the Pension Bureau, for consideration: "Before the war there wasnt no man who could a throwed me down or made me holier but now I am a man who has been over and I am so nervous I holler when I hear a hog squeak in killing time of the jists of my old house grone with the wind.

The Question Answered. Estill Springs, Tenn. Aug. 24th.—Many questions are being asked of Mr. C. D. Holt of this place in regard to his wonderful recovery. For over two years he has been down with his back. He was so very bad that he could not even lace his shoes, and from this condition he suddenly appeared well and strong again. So wonder therefore that his friends are asking him "How did you do it?" He tells them all: "Dodd's Kidney Pills did it," and adds "This remedy is a genuine good medicine and one that I can heartily recommend to everybody." "Everyone around here knows how very bad I was. I was so weak in my back that I couldn't do anything that needed stooping or bending over, and three boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills made me as you see, as well as you see." "They certainly had a wonderful effect on my case." Rinks—"Were you ever in an automobile accident?" Jinks—"Well, I should say. My wife accepted me in an automobile." MANY CHILDREN ARE BICKLY.

March 18, 1892, and spent her childhood and girlhood in slavery in that state and in Tennessee. She was early united in marriage to Howell Bugg, they purchasing their free land, and then moving to locating in Lyons, Iowa, where they opened a restaurant and boarding house, which they conducted for years, even after the death of the husband of deceased in 1864.

Holmes; it is indeed with sadness and heavy hearts this tribute, to the memory of one who endeared himself with all whom he came in contact, be paid. Our worthy brother B. J. Holmes, as he was familiarly known was a loyal Mason and an esteemed member of our lodge; where his counsel and advice pertaining to the welfare were anxiously sought and freely given. His sunny disposition, his predominant trait of character his goodness of heart, for this noble gift he will long be remembered more than conquerors. At last here he finds his tolls over and all this suffering past, hunger now and thirst no more, no excessive heat he feels from the sun's directing rays. In a mildew clime he dwells, region of eternal day. We'll long too meet our brother Who waits on the other side." We recommend that this resolution be spread upon our records, and a copy delivered to his widow. Resolution was accepted with an amendment that it be published in the Iowa STATE BISTANDER.

Even Foxhall Keene, who had the hat of a broken man, was not the equal to this American count for his wild, reckless disregard for life. He was born in this city of a long line of Zborwolski. Strangely enough, his death is in keeping with the traditions of his family, for none of the male members ever dies in bed. Back of this remarkable circumstance is a tale of a curse four generations ago launched by the head of the family of Elliot Zborwolski by an Irish lord, who in his anger, called upon heaven to prevent any male Zborwolski from ever dying in his bed. None has since. Elliot's father was stricken with paralysis and died in his chair before the son could ride for a physician. One of his uncles, Elliot, was killed by a New York, New Haven & Hartford train. Another, Francis, was drowned in a Williamsburg pond. Still another member of the family was killed by being thrown from a horse, and so the story has gone. Now comes the crushing of this generation's representative in a twenteth century accident—New York World.

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 when looking into such pretty brown eyes.' The quick answer: 'that the was ought to have it.' The cabinet officer was so pleased with the retort that he made the appointment. Consistently Republican.

In one of the tombs recently excavated in the Roman Forum a vase was discovered, the inscriptions on which show that it belongs to the twelfth century before Christ, or 400 years before the reputed date of the founding of Rome. Signor Boni, the director of the excavations, believes the tomb to be a relic of a city which existed and had disappeared before Rome was founded. OLD MACHINES EXCHANGED.
