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. She had seamingly gotten better or out of danger and the family did not expect her sudden death, therefore only a few of the family were at home when death came. Miss Rivers was born September 22, 1874, in Mississippi; came with her parents to Iowa in 1880 where she has since resided, except a few months spent in Kansas. She was educated in the common schools and became a member of the A. M. E. church when young, and has always been an active Christian worker, ever willing to speak for Christ.

After a diligent search, the youngest son found employment on the Roxborough filter plant, helping to dig the excavations. On the completion of the first day's work he asked Mr. McNichol to give his brother a Job. The contractor, ever (in the alert for good men, asked the young man if his brother could the strength of this recommendation the elder brother was engaged. The next day both brothers went to McNichol and pleaded to have their father put on the job. "Can your father do as much work as either of you boys?" asked McNichol "Yes," answered the brothers; "he can do as much work as both of us together." "Very good," replied McNichol, "Send your father around in the morning and you two stay at home."—Philadelphia Ledger. Lewis "Single Dinner" insures beige leather.

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.

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.

When he talked about telegram, "when you and I are together we never talk about anything except me." A young member of Parliament was addressing a meeting at which there was a considerable rowdy element present. Like the other speakers, he was frequently interrupted, until, losing patience, he called for silence, saying: "Don't let every asax bray at once."
