Miss Eya Robinson, formerly of Des Moines, Iowa, is a very sick young woman. She is confined to her apartments with appendicitis. An operation is deemed necessary as the only hope for her recovery.—Northwestern Vine. The many friends of Miss Robinson of this city will be sorry to hear of her being so sick, but trust that the operation will be successful and a speedy recovery will follow. WELKER WILL GO TO HARVARD. Mr. Lee Edward Walker, who graduated from the classical department of the Iowa college at Grinnell last June, has been spending part of his vacation here leave this week for Colafx to visit his mother until about the 20th of this month, then he will go to Cambridge, Mass., to enter the medical department of Harvard University. Mr. Walker is one of the best known college athletes in this state—he being a member of both the track and foot ball team of Grinnell. He will not try to make the foot team at Harvard this year but will prepare for the track team. There is no doubt but what "Doe," (as he will be called in future) will write a letter "H" before he graduates from that University. The Des Moines Giants were defeated by the Perry ball team at that place last Sunday, by a score of 8 to 5. The home team always furnishes the umpire and that was the case in this game. Had he not been no bias to his home boys the score would have been different. Even the people in the grand stand jeered and hissed him for his rank decisions against the Giants, but that did not check him enough to give fair judgment on balls and strikes and some of the runners that he called out at some of the bases was very rank for any fair minded umpire to make such decisions.

Qui Vive has a national reputation as an inspiring friend of every woman with a beauty woe. Her "Woman Beautiful!" department in the daily and Sunday issues of The Chicago Record-Harald is a perennial source of joyous helpfulness to womankind. Her instructions on complexions illies are interlaced here and there with snappy little epigrams as "cheerers." The weapons she suggests to the beauty seekers for the complete annihilation of beauty grievances do not include artificial method—"factory" frizes, rouge and other horrors being barred. She gives instructions on correct breathing, what to eat, how to bathe—in brief, how to be a healthy, wholesome woman. No wonder see is popularly known to many thousands of women.

While there will no doubt be a large number of active and many dormant candidates before the coming conference for delegation. No doubt many of those candidates are qualified and some would make good candidates, yet there are some who may be qualified but should not be selected, because of their habits or life they live. In our humble judgment the church need men to represent her that are not only well educated, but men who have proven their worth by the christian lives they live and the good work they have done for Christ, for right and for morality. They should be men of clean Christian character, high ideals and above reproach. Then again they should be men who have labored in the Iowa district long enough to know the need of the district and be in harmony with her demands. Those delegates should be men who are honest, true and of broad ideas to grasp the advancing wants of the church. In our mind there are three among the number who have been mentioned to us, and of whom we are acquainted with and who are from different section of the district. From Minnesota, Rev. Timothy Reeves of Minneapolis; from Illinois, Dr. R. C. Ransom or Geo. W. Slater of Chicago; from Iowa, Rev. James Clemmens of Oskaloosa or T. W. Lewis of Keokuk. There are others who would make good representatives but their names have not been mentioned to us. In the above names you have all sections represented, all classes of churches represented. In our next week's issue we expect to have an illustrated edition of Buxton, Iowa, which is the largest mining town in Iowa, and nearly all the miners are colored. It will be a fine edition. There will be over 1000 extra copies printed for distribution and will be sent to Mr. W. A. Wells of the Company store for sale. Parties who are not already subscribers and living in Buxton should leave their orders for several copies with Mr. Wells. He will also take subscription hereafter for the BYSTANDER, as Mr. Wells has donated his commission and arraigned with us so you can, by subscribing through him, secure the BYSTANDER one year for only One Dollar ($1.00). He simply deducts his commission. This edition will contain an accurate history of Buxton, her growth and a brief history of some of her good miners who have made it what it is. BAPTIST ASSOCIATION The Iowa Baptist Association will hold its next annual meeting with the Second Baptist church of Centerville the week beginning September 6th. Rev. T. T Ward and his good people are sparing no pains to give the delegates pleasant entertainment. The meetings will be held as follows: Tuesday, Sept. 8. Ministers and Deacons' Union. Wednesday the 9th. Woman's Home and Foreign Mission Convention. Thursday the 10th to Sunday the 13th. The Association. A large delegation is expected and very many deacons from various churches will be in attendance. Plans for broadening the state mission work and strengthening the local churches will doubtless be taken. T. L. GRIFITH, Moderator. J. W. CRUSHSON, Cor. Sec'y. NEW RESTAURANT. The Oxford Cafe has just opened its doors for service. Good meals, short orders or boarding. MRS. A. M. MASSY, South part of town Buxton, Iowa. DR. MOREHOUSE WAS HERE THIS WEEK. Rev. R. L. Morehouse, D. D., corresponding secretary of the American Baptist Educational society of New York City, who has charge of the colleges for colored people in the south, was in our city this week visiting Rev. R. L. Morehouse, D. D., this distinguished white visitor is one of the leaders of religious thought in this country, and in the Baptist denomination occupies a place in the front trunk of the eminent edifice where they are looked to by the entire church as gilding spirits. This distinguished guest of Des Moines today probably more than any other northern man, fully understands the needs of the southern negro. The board of which he is secretary has charge of about twenty different educational institutions of the southern negro, and with the afairs of these institutions he is intimately familiar. The principal demand among the 9,000,000 colored people of this country is for men and women of culture and thought power and this demand the twenty or more institutions of the country satisfy. The only way to hold the great masses of the young in Sunday schools and negro churches, he believes, is to give them a trained ministry. During the past year $488,595 was spent on this work in the south. Valuable School Properties. The school has a building which Dr. Moines has jurisdiction are valued at about $1,000,000, or in excess of that sum. These institutions are: Atlanta Baptist College, At- Total $1,031,765 But in addition to these there are a large number of other educational institutions of higher learning devoted to the teaching of college people in the college also. These include the Alabama Colored Baptist university, the Arkansas Baptist college, Hartnorn Memorial college, of Richmond, Jackson college, at Jackson, Miss, Shaw university at Raleigh, Louisville state university, Virginia Union University, Warwick seminary and Richmond Theological seminary. Secondary institutions maintained by the board of which Dr. Morehouse is secretary include the American institute, at Americus, Ga., Bible and Normal institute at Memphis, Tennessee, Coleman Academy, Hearn academy Houston college, the积木 academy, Walker institute, Water's Normal institute, Western college. Dr. Morehouse also has the direction of the Indian university founded at Tahlequah and now at Bacone, I. T., which is devoted to the instruction of Indians; Atoka academy at Atoka, I. T., and Cherokee academy at Tahlequah, I. T., also devoted to education of the Indians. □ COLORED KNIGHTS-OF PYTHIAS. St. Louis, Mo, Aug. 31.

THIEF CAUGHT AT DES MOINES Burton Miller Stole $1,000 From a Farmer at Fontanelle and Had a Big Time In Des Moines During State Fair Week. Des Moines, September 3.—With almost $1,000 he stole from John Scotfield of Fontanelle, Iowa, Burton Miller, a young man nineteen years of age, has been having the time of his life in Des Moines the past week of the state fair. Scotfield, who lost the money, had no faith in banks, and always keeps his wealth about his home, sealed up in tint cans, boxes and bureau drawers. Miller and his accomplice in the robbery secured the $1,000 by using a can-opener upon a strong tin box in which Scotfield had placed the money. Detective George Yeager, who arrested Miller at the corner of Sixth and Grand avenue, has secured a full and complete confession, not only of the crime committed, but of the disposition of the stolen money, in a local detective, in company with Constable W. F. McCampbell, who was in the city all day Tuesday, have secured the return of $450 of the stolen money. The money had been dealt out as presents to Miller, in several cases to charge acquaintances. John Schofield is of the wealthy citizens of Adair county. He is aged, and resides a good deal of the time with his son-in-law in Fontanelle. For many years he had a prejudice against his in home. Being the owner of several valuable properties in Fontanelle, Schofield has steadily acquired a small fortune which he has kept hid about his home. Several days ago the aged gentleman went to Wisconsin for a visit to the farm where his son-in-law. While the son-in-law and his wife were away from the house an entrance was effected through a cellar window by Burton Miller and an accomplice, and the $1,000 secured from an old tree had been seized and sealed and the thieves were compelled to open it with a can opener. Unfortunately the robbers left evidence of the work behind. When the son-in-law returned to the house he found that the box had been opened. He had been taken to the factory in the box, but surmised that it was several hundred dollars. Instead of parading the loss through the neighborhood the matter was quietly told to the constable. McCampbell ascertained that young John was the only one following the robbery and he determined to follow the young fellow. At Creston young Miller spent the first of his illoggin gain by purchasing a watch and chain and a $6.50 ring. The watch and chain cost $25. He then came on to Des Moines to see the great Iowa State Fair. He spent the money buying anything that he desired, and loaned large sums to friends. Much of the money loaned has been recovered. BIG SUM FROM AN ESTATE Collateral Inheritance Collection That Brakes the Record. Des Moines, September 3.—There is a good prospect that the present month will break all records in the matter of the collection of collateral inheritance taxes. Tuesday over $5,000 was received at the state treasury, and the state will collect various counties. Yesterday the second largest single payment was made. This was a draft for $12,965.43, on account of the estate of the late John Philippe. He paid $1,000,000. He left an estate, chiefly in corporation stocks which netted over $500,000, one-half of which went to the widow and the remainder to the children. He left $1,000 to the Academy of Science. The only other single collection as large as this one was early in the life of the law and a good part of that had been kept by apportionment, not all that will be collected on this estate. AGENT HAS DISAPPEARED. His Accounts Are Correct and Foul Play is Suspected Fort Dodge, Sept. 1.—Agent Perfator, stationed at Burnside, on the Illinois Central, and lately an operator for the same road in this city, has disappeared, and no trace of him can be found.

Iowa City, September 3.—Prof. Henry F. Wickham, professor of ontology, at the State University of Iowa, has returned home from a triumphant eleven weeks' tour of the blazing desert at the Great Basin. Day after day, without food and water, a day at a time, he sought rare beetles and other insects in the salt and soda lakes of that district. In all, and again and again pursued his investigations where no entomologist had ever before set foot. As a result of his sacrifice of peace and comfort, he secured many of the insects he were many absolutely new to the scientific world. The University of Iowa will be the galerier by Prof. Wickham's researches and privations for the collections will be made available to the museum, but the world of science at large will also profit, inasmuch as the information be toiled and sacrificed for will be duly published—and it will be newly introduced to entomologists in every The investigations and discoveries made by the lowan have fostered and endorsed the theory which he has developed. The lowan has labored long—that the distribution of insects in the Great Basin today is largely determined by the geological formations connected with the ancient lakes. Bonneville and Lahontan. This theory was sustained the past summer, although Prof. Wickham, to accomplish his purpose, was compelled to walk over an arid desert, across which horses could not trample, and with a scorpion could be broiled to death in less than 20 seconds—a desert on which the thermometer registered 119 degrees in the shade—if the word "shade" is not a misnomer. The result of part of its investigation, to the San Francisco Entomological club, in a scholarly paper, on his return to civilization. Former Marshal Blackburn is Shot by Marshal Routher. Burlington, Sept. 1. - David Blackburn, ex-marshall of Donnellson, Iowa, was shot and killed yesterday by Town Marshal Ed. Ruether. Blackburn was in a saloon drunk. Marshal Reuther was in the car. Reuther blackburn refused to go, saying, "You can't arrest me." Thereupon Reuther drew his revolver and shot Blackburn five times in the heart, killing him instantly. Blackburn was not armed, but was a very much larger man than Reuther, who shot because he was afraid of the intoxicated man. The five shots entered the man's body over the heart within a radius of two inches, any one of them would have been fatal. Reuther was placed under arrest by Mayor Robert B. McCormick for safe keeping. It is said Blackburn and Reuther were on ordinarily good terms up to the hour of shooting. STRUCK WIFE WITH AN AX. Jens Paulson, Thought to Be Dement- ed, Computer-Based Acquaint Boone, Sept. 3—Jens Paulson, a farmer, committed a brutal assault upon his wife yesterday afternoon, striking her on the head with an ax and nearly killing her. She is now at her home, two miles west of Mineral Ridge, in this county, in a preacarion condition, and, since she was not in exile among the inhabitants of the little mingal town of Frazer, which is in that vicinity, and many hard threats of vengeance are heard, the police have come from this city to arrest Paulson, who, it is now believed, is demented and unaccountable for his rash act. He is, however, a desperate man and about 80 years old, a police officer, from whom he was trying to escape. Greene County Man Killed Greenwood Jefferson, Sept. 4. -Mr. J. Egil, one of the foremost farmers of South Junction township, was fatally injured in a road on Grand Junction.

The Open Season is On For Chickens and Ducks Humboldt, Sept. 7. Another marky the open season. Iowa for shootin' and prairie chickens, and from scores of towns in northern and western Iowa, including Humboldt, hundreds of men well armed and supplied with ammunition and the best of hunting dogs have been hurrying forth for the hunting fields in the stubbles and along the shores of the lakes. The prospects are for good sport, for it is claimed by experts that the feathered game, ducks, quail, snake and other small birds are more plentiful in Iowa this year than for several years past. This is especially true of northern Iowa where the best hunting grounds have been found for This is not so much true of the chickens, but they are more numerous than last year. It has been reported that chicken shooting will be nothing at all in Iowa this year, but it is more likely to furnish good sport. Sportsmen from a distance, if they intend coming, should wait until later in the fall. If they come early, unless they are well posted on the conditions of the country in which they go before coming, they will be hard to find the birds without a good guide, as they are badly scattered. Another thing which is more evident this year and that is after the birds have been located it will be hard to get permission from the land owners to he will shoot covered flocks of birds. There is one feature of chicken shooting little known to the outside sportman and not generally to the local shooters. After the cool weather has already come along, about the week of October 25, the northern from surrounding areas decide to move to where they spend the winter months and when spring returns fly back to their nesting grounds again. It is in October that great sport is to be had on these birds, if one is lucky enough to get in their fly way large bags can be made. bird leave and may uncover buried food and many a sportsman has wondered where they all come from. The duck shooting promises to be as good if not better, than last year. Teal and other small ducks have nested in the state in good numbers. There is plenty of warfare on mallards will probably be fine. Quail's promise quite a crop. The season does not open until October first, but there is already much interest being taken in the matter of supply. The quail is not a very popular other bird. The shooting will be fair all over Iowa. The farther north the better the shooting with this bird. Snake and other small birds are to be found in good numbers where The fishing season in Iowa did not start very good, but along the Des Moines river it has gradually become better. This is undoubtedly brought about by the dam that allows the big fish of the Mississippi to pass up the river. Many large fish have been caught, black bass of five pounds and under have been taken and near Humboldt an eight-foot-long dam that separates the two of twelve pounds and better and on the list could be extended. UNIVERSITY MAN IN TROUBLE Former Football Player at Iowa City Charged With Highway Robbery Iowa, City, Sept. 1. —Word has just been received here that SI Brown, for two years a member of the 'varsity football team, has been bound over to the grand jury at Davenport charged with highway robbery. Brown asserts his innocence and claims that he has been earning money honestly to pay his way through school. He said Smith and Annie Monk held up a farmer, Peter Pearson, near Geneseo, and robbed him of his cash, after severely beating him. The woman has confessed that she was a member of the party who did the work.

Chickasha, I. T., Sept. 4. —Another Meade murder clue has gone glimmering and another endeavor to find the slayer of the young man killed in a restaurant in West Liberty, Ark., on November 14, has resulted in nothing.

AMERICA'S CUP TO REMAIN HERE Lead of Reliance Was So Great It Was Said There Was No Second—Shamrock III Lost Her Bearings and Did Not Cross the Line. New York, Sept. 4—Reliance, the American team defender, yesterday won the third and final race for that famous trophy, the America's cup. In a dense fog which prevented vision beyond 200 yards, she finished the race and running for more than an hour in the fog, missed the final line, passed by it and then returned to it from the opposite direction. As she headed the fleet yacht eighteen fluttered from her truck and spreaders in celebration of her victory, Shamrock III did not cross the finish line. As often said of the historic race, the winner won the cup, there was no second. This successful result was achieved only after four futile attempts to sail off the final race after the outcome of the race. The team of Thomas Ltionpe to be a foregone conclusion. Yesterday's was the elight attempt to sail a race. After one fake Reliance team by seven minutes and three seconds and the other by one minute and nineteen seconds, a week ago yesterday the first attempt by the Reliance team and attempts have been made every day this week. On these occasions Reliance led Shamrock to the finish line by mile, two minutes and two minutes of expiration of the time limit of five and a half hours. Yesterday's victory means that the cup is destined to remain in America until England is to return in inyacht design. Rarely if ever has there been a more spectacular finish than Reliance's yesterday. After racing for more than a year, she was blinded by a blinding fire. Reliance burst through the wall of mist upon the vision of the spectators' fleet assembled at the finish line, and heeling under a large bellying balloon jib topsail, until her finish line almost before the spectators could determine for a certainty that it was she. Once more the Yankee boat had added to the long string of old silver ribbons, a horrified old silver trophy that carried with it the blue ribbon of the sea. DEADLY FEVER IN CUBA. American Medical Authorities Asked to Help. New York, Sept. 2.—Menaced by a disease which has baffed the best medical skill of the island, the health department officials of Cuba have applied to the authorities of Columbia university and Jefferson Medical college of Philadelphia for aid in determining the nature of the disease. The most eminent physicians of those institutions are working in conjunction with the medical authorities of the marine hospital and public health department of the States government in an effort to determine the nature of the disease. All details of the investigation are refused. The disease in many of the symptoms resembles bubonic plague, but it has not been reported to progress and more deadly in its effects. It first appeared some months ago in the isolated town of Daquiri, province of Santiago. Men employed in the iron mines in that locality were affected. The disease did not yield to the treatment, and the mortality was lower than fever or any kindred diseases. The inhabitants become panic stricken, and an American steel company, with large interests there, took up the matter. Reference to the New York and Philadelphia experts followed. The description of the disease furnished by the Cuban physicians shows the worst symptoms of yellow fever, black fever and spotted fever. The disease is first complaining of illness and turns a bright yellow after death. It is in the death that the disease presents its most horrible phase. The victim's pulse rate rushes to 150, a heart beat which is deemed almost impossible. The respiration counts 58. These organic disturbances, together with a temperature of 107 and 108, do not cause instant death, but the high fever generated soon burns out life. The disease always attacks persons in the form of intermittent malarial fever. WIDOWS' LAND CLAIMS. Allegation of Fraud for Benefit of Cats tman. Being Looked Into Washington, Sept. 4—Secretary Hitchcock yesterday heard arguments in a case involving the legality of entries made by soldiers' widows in the war in Iraq, and braska. The case is that of Anna Bowles, and involves the requirements under section 2307 of the revised statutes, governing the rights of the widows. The case involves entries, particularly with reference to the point as to whether the requirements include residence. The entry requires residence on the land entered is not necessary. She also contends that having an entry, she can lease the land or make an agreement to sell on the commissioner of the general land office, used to concede these points, and the case went before the secretary on appeal. The land involved is in the Bowles land district, and the case is a test one. Trust Ignored by Butchers Dubuque, Sept. 4.—The members of the Dubuque Butchers' association, becoming incensed at the action of the Chicago and other outside meat dealers in taking off the delivery wagons, would hold off the owners, themselves hereafter, and will slaughter their own cattle. The old abattoir is being put in shape for the work. They say they can furnish their own meats cheaper than they can buy them from Armour and others. M. F. R. A. Bapp of Hawkeye, whose husband was killed in a wreck on the Chicago River, will trail in South Dakota several months ago, has begun a damage suit against the company for $75,000. WITH ALL BAIL SET. INSURGENTS ARE VERY ACTIVE Large Number Have Recently Crossed the Frontier From Bulgaria—Claimed 2,000 Bulgarians Have Joined Insurgents Recently. Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 1.—Both in official and revolutionary circles the opinion is freely held that war between Bulgaria and Turkey is imminent and can only be averted by not short of a miracle. It is not expected that either government will formally declare hostilities, but that the prevailing conditions will force on a war. There is no question that large numbers of insurgents have recently crossed the frontier. An extensive outbreak in northern Macedonia is possible any day. The Autonomie prints a telegram from Constantinople declaring that the sultan, influenced by the concord, will favor a war with Bulgaria. The Turks here take an optimistic view, asserting that there is no danger of a war, as Turkey does not desire one, and Prince Ferdinand and the present Bulgarian government not in a position to force hostilities. The Macedonian leaders here claim that an aggregate of 2,000 Bulgarians have crossed the frontier in small part during the last ten days. The general Zelodio the president of the Macedonian committee and Colonel Jankoff, one of the revolutionary leaders, who are now in Macedonia, sent word that the insurgents have crossed the frontier. They expect that a general insurrection will be proclaimed this week. CHEKIB BEY VISITS HAY. Minister Leishman Reports But Does Not Request Withdrawal of Ships. Washington, Sept. 1. - Chekib Bey, the Turkish minister, had a long interview yesterday with Secretary Hay. He refused to discuss the interview. Chekib Bey assured Secretary Hay that the Turkish government had done nothing wrong and will use every endeavor to protect American citizens residing in Turkey. He also discussed the conditions of the insurrection in Turkey and said that the Turkish government was not responsible for any action that had occurred. Secretary Hay's case, in particular, Darling was for the purpose of ascertaining the whereabouts of the European squadron and also what the orders are. There is no intention of changing any orders at present, especially that the squadron cannot be reached until they arrive at Belgrade. Late dispatches from Minister Leishman give in detail the conditions in Turkey and do not differ materially in tone from those previously sent. Minister Leishman does not, as reported in the announcements, request the withdrawal of the American ships from Turkish waters. ROOSEVELT BACKS BEAUPRE Minister of Bogota Is Being Strongly Uphold. Washington, Sept. 4.—Additional instructions have been cabled Mr. Beaupire, the American minister at Bogota, reiterating the position of this government regarding the canal treaty. The state department assumes entire responsibility for every representative Beaupire to the Bogota government committee to treaty and his activity in this direction, heartily endorsed by the president and Secretary Hay. Beaupire's latest instructions advised the president Rosewell will not enter into agreement with the Columbian government, which will hamper his scope of action under the canal law. This government should state what its course of action will be in the event the treaty is rejected. Londoners Not Interested London, Sept. 4. The final defeat of Sir Thomas Llipson's cup challenger, Shamrock III, was received in London with absolute listlessness. Most of the afternoon papers published a special edition announcing the result of the cup race but the announcement had the dispatches discounted by the dispatches giving a progress of the race. The consensus of the court that Sir Thomas Llipson has done everything that time and money could and widespread sympathy for him is that he chief hope expressed in the streets and Canada will enter the next years and succeed where the mother country has seen it. It seems improbable that in view of the success of Shamrock III another challenge will soon be dispatched from England. Notice Issued of Outbreak In Northern Macedonia. Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 2.—The Macedonian revolutionaries awaited the anniversary of the sultan's accession to proclaim the long anticipated general insurrection in northern Macedonia, the proclamation of which was issued yesterday by all the Macedonian general staff. A new outbreak is headed by the famous Macedonian leaders, General Zontchief, president of the Macedonian committee, and Colonel Jankoff, who was wounded in the rising of 1902. The new territory covers the district in the valley of the Struma at the base of the Rhodope, to the north of the river Vardar. Colone Jankoff is directing the movements of the bands in the southern part. News of severe fighting is still coming in. At the village of Armenià after a day's fighting the Turkish troops in the night time has sacred the entire army, men and women. The Turks have massacred the inhabitants of the villages of Velest. It is reported that Hilmil Pasha, the inspector general for Macedonia, refuses to leave his headquarters at Monastir. The insurgent leader Gruff, in a letter to Hilmil Pasha, denounced the barbarous acts of the Turkish soldiers and Bashi Bozuk, otherwise the revolutionaries would massacre all the Turkish inhabitants. The insurgents have occupied the mountain pass of Gergelo on the main line from Salona to the mountains have been sent to dislodge them. The town of Malkoternovo is reported to be in a state of anarchy, the Turks plundering the houses and committing unseekable atrocities. TO GET RID OF NEGROES. The Southern Orator Would Banish The Race. Chicago, Sept. 4.—Mr. John Temple Graves of Georgia, delivered an address on "The Problem of the Races," before the forty-eighth convoction of the University of Chicago. He said in part: "The prejudice of race is a pointing of Providence and the antagonism of peoples is the fixed policy by which God peoples the different portions of the Universe and establish the laws that brought these people together on this continent was a sin of the father, a sin of greed, a sin of trade and the sorrow and suffering of the present is for the sin of the past—sin against nature and a sin against God. The curse can be beaten and God is obeyed. The problem will be solved only when the negro is restored to the 'bounds of his habitation.' "It is neither impossible nor impracticable. The elements are willing and the way is in reach. This is not a day of impossibilities. The hard almighty is steadily opening the "It may be that the islands of the sea were placed by Providence in our keeping to furnish an answer to the problem of the time. The negro is not unwholesome, but unwholesome unwelcome, helpless, unassimilable element in our civilization. He is not made for our times. He is not framed to share in the duty and destiny which he perplexes and beclouds. Let us put him up to the task. Let us give him better chance than he has ever had in history and let us have done with him. Let us solve his problem, frankly, fearlessly, nobly and speedily. Let us put it behind us to purify our politics of the plight of the poor. South India vote and to think like free men upon the mighty issues of the times." AUSTRIAN SHIP BLOWN UP.

The heating and plumbing contract for the agricultural buildings at the state agricultural college has been let to the Farm Management Office in Oakaloosa. The Figure was $12,500. Country schools along the line of the interurban line to Colafax will suffer in their attendance this year, from present indications. Many farmers are exerting their labor to advantage of the interurban line to send their children to towns and cities where they can secure better educational advantages. It is probable that Des Moines schools will receive their education of material from the rural districts. "The talk which was freely indulged in when the interurban line was first started, to the effect that the smaller towns along the route would be indulged in when they could come to the cities, has been proven groundless," said Morton Macartney, tramaster for the interurban company. "Any of the merchants in the towns along the line will say that rather the reverse has been true. Not only do a few of the merchants in the Moines come out to the smaller towns, to the profit of the home merchants, but the reduction of freight rates made by the interurban makes no small saving for the merchants outside of Des Moines. The interurban is likely to be utilized as a means of coal distribution this fall and winter. The farmers are enabled to bring cars to coal to points within half a mile or so of their homes and as a result, many of them are combining and placing orders for cars, thus allowing their coal more readily to be used they could be able to do in any other way." Mr. Macartney that the interurban company would not be likely to make any plans for extension before next summer, as their attention is at home with the present line in good condition, and making necessary improvements to the track. A telegram from Gen. James B. Weaver of Colafax, announces that he has struck oil. He has started for his home in Iowa and will arrive within a few days, for a rest from the arduous labor which he has been performing, being perennially well skilled in the wells. The oil well is located on the land secured by General Weaver and his associates in the Big Mound Oil company of Des Molines, about five miles southeast of Welsh, a tract known as the Unkrel tract, a fact of the work by the general's drills was 1,018 feet beneath the surface and was forty feet in thickness. The drilling was continued for 272 feet more, when a bed minety feet in thickness was found. The two made a bed of 1,018 feet in thickness, the largest oil discovery in either Texas or Louisiana. Both strata contain oil in abundance. President Wakefield of the Iowa State Bar association has named the committee to confer with the judges of the supreme court with reference to the new rules of that body which go into effect January 1, when the new law relating to the supreme court goes into effect. This law requires a practically continuous session of the court and the submission of no more causes to the court at any one time than can be decided before the sitting the next day. The court has also ordered the law a new set of rules is required and the court requested the State Bar association to name a committee of lawyers to consider the matter and confer with them as to these rules. Judge Wakefield has named: F. F. Judge Wakefield has named: J. H. Hardl of Council Bluffs, J. H. McCounsel of Mason City, J. H. Henderson of Indianola, and George H. Carr of Des Moines.

While the railroad property in Polk county is worth more than that of any other in the state the greatest mileage is in Webster county. The mileage in Webster is 190,73, and the assessed value is less than a million dollars. The mileage in Polk county is 1,260,000, while Pottawattamie has 190,44 miles assessed at $1,583,000. "We expect the receipts of this year's fair, when entirely collected, will be from $500 to $1,000 greater than those of the fair in 1902. was the statement of the Iowa State Fair association. "In view of the fact that four of the days of the fair were bad ones, over against one bad day for 1902, we consider the record for this year as little short of wonderful."

WANTED TO MARRY MISS ROOSEVELT Secret Service Men Arrest a Lunatic Who Sought the President. HE CALLED AT A LATE HOUR Henry Wellbronner Persisted He Had Been Invited By the President to Talk Over the Marriage—He Was Armed. Oyster Bay, L. I., September 3—A man giving his name as Frank Wellbronner was arrested at Sagamore Hill late Tuesday night while making a persistent demand to see President Roevelt. The man was armed with a revolver fully loaded. He was taken to the village and placed in the town prison. Shortly after 10 o'clock Wellbronner drove to Sagamore Hill in a phaeton buggy. He was stopped by the secret service operative on duty. Wellbronner said he had a personal engagement with the president and desired to see him. As it was long after the hours when visitors are received the officer declined to permit him to go to the house. He initiated, but the officer turned him away. Soon afterward Wellbronner returned and again insisted that he be allowed to see the president if only for a minute. This time he was ordered to leave the office. Just before 11 o'clock the man returned a third time and demanded of the officer that he should be permitted to see the president at once. The officer's response was to take the man from his buggy and put him in the office. He was then the guard of two stable men. A revolver was found in the buggy. Later Wellbronner was brought to the village and locked up. He is 5 feet 8 inches in height, 28 years of age, and is black, black, black, black eyes and evidently is of German descent. He resides in Syosset, about five miles inland from Oyster Bay. He was well dressed in a suit of dark material and wore an old-fashioned derby hat. He was by the officers that Wellbronner was accompanied by two other men, as their footprints were found in the mud alongside of the buggy tracks. In view of this fact the officer on duty telephoned to the village for assistance and was soon by two other secret service men. While Wellbronner talked rationally to the officers Tuesday night it seems evident from his conversation yesterday that he had received a telegraph communication from the president directing him to call at Sagmore Hill. His local livery barm. When asked what he became of the rig, Wellbronner replied: "Oh, the president has taken care of it; that's all right." Wellbronner is regarded by those who have seen him to be a dangerous lunatic. At Syssouf it is learned that the man is the son of a truck farmer and is one of three brothers. He has two sisters. The family is respectable and is well-educated. Wellbronner several years ago had a nervous attack which rendered him mentally helpless for a day or two, but his family supposed that he had been quite restored by medical treatment. Since then he had manifested no symptoms of mental aberration. He had no socialistic or anarchistic tendencies so far as known, never having been interested in any question of the secret service operatives, who placed him under arrest. Wellbronner was arranged yesterday before Justice Franklin on complaint of the secret service operatives, who placed him under arrest. Wellbronner was present at the examination. Justice Franklin questioned the prisoner about his movements Tuesday morning, when he quiet tone of voice, but they indicated apparently beyond a doubt that the man was guilty. Asked why he went to Sagamore Hill, he replied: "I went to see the president about this daughter Alice." "I had you an engagement with the president?" "Yes." "How was that engagement made?" "I talked with the president last night, replied Wellbranner. "Did you have him?" "Oh, I just talked." "A sort of wireless talk, was it?" "Yes, that is it, a wireless talk." "Why did you want to see the president and alice?" "I wanted to marry her." "Did you ever see Miss Roosevelt?" "Yes, I saw her night before last." "Where did you see her?" "At my house." "Did she cover there?" "Yes, she came in a red automobile." "Who accompanied her?" "Her brother, theoreau." "Would you come to Mincola, L. I, on an evening trinf and placed in the custody of the county officers." A curious superstition prevails in the highlands of Scotland, that if a cat be carried in a cart, and the wind blow from it to the horses, the latter immediately tire; and if any part of the driver's clothing be made from catkin, the horses will feel as if they were drawing a double burden. A regular patron entered a barber's shave room, and the torsional artist had almost completed his work on him, he suggestively remarked: "Hair is getting rather thin on top, sir. Have you tried our hair restorer?" The patron facetiously responded, "Oh, no, it's not that--it's worry."

A Belgian physician declares that early badness is frequently caused by the excessive eating of meat. He asserts that he has often checked cases of falling hair by combining with local treatment a diet of milk, eggs and fruit. A certain justice of the peace in Maryland evidently imagines that cows can and big prince. He recently wrote a prologue for a pony for killing a cow near a road crossing for the reason that "the defendant had no sign up at the crossing." To explain why his trip had proved so poor, a commercial traveler once wrote a long account of how the weather had affected business in the territory in which he had traveled. He wrote that the received philosophy from his firm: "We get our weather reports from Washington. Don't send us any more; what we want is orders." The funeral of a Buddist dignitary in Yeddo, Japan, a few weeks ago, must have been as entertaining as a circus.

In the early part of his business career he indulged in few costly pleasures. He one day called the office of his clerk, "No thank you," said Sir Thomas (then Mr.) Lipton. "Although I am the biggest smoker in England, I never smoke cigars." What do you smoke, "was the surprise," "Bacon," "was the prompt reply. Mayor Sam Jones, of Teledo, has discovered contagious bronchitis. It is fresh air and to enjoy it he sleeps on the roof of his house in warm weather. "Before I began sleeping beyond the confines of a close room," he says, "I was troubled by the smell of the pure air treatment has completely cured me. Of course, I sleep out of doors only in summer months, but in the winter, unless it rains or snow, it is every window in the house open." The J. P.'s Agree. Staunton, Ark., Aug. 31st--News comes from Duff, Searcy Co., this state, that Mr. T. E. Reeves, a justice of the Peace at that place, has written a letter recommending Dodd's Kidney Pills in which he says: "I think Dodd's Kidney Pills can't be beat for Kidney Trouble, and I wish them every success." He says with his brother Justice on this point for he says: "I had a bad case of Kidney Trouble and was not able to do a day's work without great distress. I bought six bizes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and after I had used three boxes I was all right. I am as well as ever, and I cannot praise Dodd's Kidney Pills too highly. "I have given the other three boxes to some friends of mine who had found out what was that that had cured what was that seriously and they all speak highly of Dodd's Kidney Pills."

All military authorities on the continent are of one mind as to the immense advantage which will accrue to the power which, at the outset of a war, can most quickly place in the a strong superior force of efficient mounted troops. One result of this belief is the extreme care with which each of the great military powers of the continent watches the strength and distribution of the cavalry of its neighbors. At the present moment some disquietude exists in the Triple Alliance, because the cavalry of the Double Alliance has become superior, numerically, to their own. In the event of war, France could place in the sold 827 squadrons and Russia 711; or the two allies together 1,088 squadrons, while the Triple Alliance could only muster 44 squadrons, or the French less than the Double Alliance.

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. How She Signed the Check.
