One of the poo e at addresses for the occasion and place that was ever heard at the A. M. E. church was the one delivered by P. C. Parka, a student of the Agricultural college at Ames, last Sunday night. Some things he said should never have been said in a house of worship, especially on Sunday.

The new school year began this week and thousands, yea ten thousands of the bright boys and girls will wend their way back to the little school house, there to peruse their old books or make research in new fields. To the American youths it ought to be a source of pleasure that they are permitted to go to school free of charge. In fact compelled to in Iowa and many other states. When we revert back only a few years ago when many a little to could not go and many were prevented from going simply on account of the cruel hand of slavery, and even to-day we say that the common schools are free public schools—this word free must be used in a restricted sense—because in certain states children are denied the right to attend the public schools, and in some states they are trying to pass laws to not give them any schools or only a very few months school in the year. Then we say to the colored children of Iowa and other northern states, every one of you should attend regular, be punctual, prompt and studious; enter the avenues of learning in all branches while the door of opportunity is open to you. Every parent should see to it that your children enter at once and remain in school until close; for we need educated, honest, earnest, good moral young men. The world need and our race need you. LABOR DAY. Last Monday, which was the first Monday in September, was labor holiday. This day was made a holiday by organized labor and made a legal holiday in Iowa by the state legislator, hence business, both public and private, is almost suspended as on the 4th of July and Christmas day. Organized labor is a great help when properly managed and equally observed to the masses and common people. The cause of labor has often been abused by being managed by selfish and irresponsible leaders, men who did not do or act right and fair. Then again in their organization they were color blind and even some of the unions are to this day and do not want the colored colored laborer in the unions, which of course is not right, fair or just, but exegesis now force them to admit the colored laborer. Then again many men have been at the head of organized labor who did not consider that the proprietor had any rights, hence they carried their ideas to extreme, thus injured her cause. In the last report that labor commission Brigham reported to Gov. Cummins was very gratifying to the friends of organized labor. In Iowa alone within the past year there were 433 new unions and new members to the number of 22468 and 16 new crafts, an increase of 110 per cent in membership and 90 per cent in unions. The parade Monday in Des Moines was the largest in its history, nearly 4000 people marched, with many colored men in line. Be fair, act right labor and you will ultimately succeed.

THAT WATERLOO AFFAIR A few days ago a report was sent out that the people of Waterloo had ordered all the colored people out of that city. To show how dishonest some of our newspaper correspondents and unfair people are who believe such reports sent out by those who do not or cannot tell the truth when they write on the race problem, no more than Senator Tillman. We print a letter received by Mr. Coalson from a prominent Waterloo citizen, also an editorial that appeared in the Waterloo Daily Reporter of the 2d inst. Waterloo, Sept. 3.—Wm. Coalson, Des Moines, Iowa. Dear Sir:—Replying to your favor of September 1, will say there is nothing in the report. Some blooming idiots that wanted to make a sensation started the story. What little foundation there was for the story was hatched out when the Chicago Giant Bass Ball Club was here. They were an unentglemently lot and did not carry favor with our people. Under separate cover we send you editorial on the subject which we guess will cover the ground thoroughly. There is always an opening for an intelligent colored man or woman to find excellent employment in Waterloo. A WHITE MAN'S TOWN. Some unknown Waterloo newspaper correspondent has graciously taken up on himself the responsibility of advertising to the world that Waterloo is hereafter to be known as "an allwhite town." In dispatches to a large number of newspapers in other parts of the state this anonymous correspondent makes the statement that "an edict has gone forth that no Negroes are wanted here," and further says So emphatic has been the protest against the black-shinned people that already there are but two or three of them left in the city. Most of the advertising which this city has recently received has been of a character to raise the community in the esteem of those living in other sections of the state, but it is much to be doubted whether the advertising which this correspondent is doing for Waterloo greatly redoubles to its credit. It is certainly calculated to give us the reputation of being illiberal, narrow minded and disposed to deny men of other races those rights which the constitution and the laws of the state and nation guarantee to them. It is well designed to put the Bann Tillman brand upon this community, which has never before been suspected of harboring such sentiments as those which are voiced by the South Carolinas senator. The reporter does not believe that the people of Waterloo either desire or deserve such a reputation as will be secured for them by the publication of these dispatches. It is true that this city has but a few residents of negro blood. It is probably also true that there is no disposition to offer special inducements to secured immigration of that character. But we deny absolutely and without qualification that any edict has gone forth from any recognized authority in this city, or from anybody except an unknown and irresponsible newspaper correspondent, that this is to be an exclusively white man's town. We deny that there is in Waterloo that spirit which would "close the door of hope or of opportunity" to any man by reason of his race or color. For the shiffless, the good for nothing, and the lawless, whether black or white, Waterloo has no place. Against the industrious, the well behaved and the law abiding, it erects no bars based on color or race prejudice. The Ben Tillman spirit, which is given utterance in the writings of this correspondent and which has perhaps had some countenance in ill-considered editorial comment in some of the city papers, is not the spirit of Waterloo. Such a spirit is out of harmony with all the past history of the community and inconsistent with our claim to be a progressive and broad minded people. Burlington Journal, dem. The main trouble is that the south will never forgive the negro for being free nor the north for freeing him, and the more he becomes advanced in the political, social or financial scale the worse they dislike him. He is a "nigger" now and he was in 1860, and he will always be a "nigger" at the south and nothing more. He has ceased to be a chattel and the farther he gets from being a piece of personal property the less use they have for him, except in some menial capacity. The solution of the race question lies in a single sentence. "Give the negro the legal and natural rights to which he is entitled." If that is done there is no race question any more than there is a German, or an Irish, or an English question. Denial of natural rights can not be regulated in any other way than by restoring them. All the negro asks is what belongs to him and those things he has a right to possess and enjoy without restraint or interference. We have not space for all of the good editorials that are published daily by all of the different papers but from time to time expect to publish some, and the above is a sample of some that are sent broad cast all over America. It seems as though the Democrat as well as the Republican papers are demanding our rights and privileges that were granted to us by the constitution. So remain patient, law-abiding, honest and entergetic, and some day mob rule will be overthrown, because a good cause or justice will overcome an injustice. HANSEN IS CHOSEN FOR POLAR TRIP. Washington, Sept. 7—Matthew Hansen of Maryland, Commander Robert E. Peary's colored servant on former artic expeditions, is the first man selected for the north pole party. Commander Perry said to-day: "Hansen has been with me on all my trips since I went to Nicaragua with the canal commission, and I would not think of going into the artic regions without him. He has some white blood in his veins. He is a good shot and a good oarsman, and one of the bravest men I ever knew. He and a party of Eskimos may be the only men who will make the dash with me over the ice north of Grantland." Commander Peary will not give up his work at the Navy Department until next April, when the final preparations for the trip will begin. The ship in which his expedition will sail probably will be called the Charles H. Darling, in recognition of the assistant secretary's interest and activity in the proposed venture. CORRUPTION IN THE A. M. E. MINISTERY. There has been this year more than any other years complaints of the corruption, morality and unministerial acts alleged to have been committed by ministers holding the best charges in the connection. The Chicago Broad Ax speaks of the drunken condition of Rev. A. J. Carey and some others, and the way they had carried on in Milwaukee a few weeks ago. Then the action of Fenwick, Graves, Murray and some of the other Chicago ministers, if true is enough to shame all respectable, conscientious, God loving and fearing men. One minister has just resigned a Chicago charge, and in a letter to the public denounces the above mentioned ministers, the Bishop included. With a few more public acts like these it will drive all the better class and self respecting class away from the church. There certainly need be and ought to be an overhauling. MT. PLEASANT.

GEO. W. SLATER RE SIGNS AS PASTOR. Says That the A. M. Church Ministery is Corrups Mr. J. L. Thompson, editor of the Iowa STATE BYSTANDER, Dear Sir:—A few days ago I resigned the pastorate of Bydle Park Chapel A. M. E. church of Chicago, because of unfair treatment and ungodly conduct of leading ministers in the Iowa Conference. I do not know that I shall ever again be an titanian preacher in the connection unless things change for the better. There is no disigning the fact that no self-respecting, honest christian minister can congenually remain in her ranks. If he does he must either compromise or be kicked and cuffed about. No woman missionary or evangelist can maintain her place unless she bows at the behest of wicked men. These bad bold men demand that the other ministers, women and men, be quiescent while they rob the c urch treasury and lead the flower of our womanhood from the paths of virtue lewdness, disgrace and death. These bad men have such a hold on the church that they defy law and everything else. They ride rough-shoot over everybody and everything. They drink whisky, gamble, commit adultery, and in fact commit almost every deed in the category of crime with impunity. They have so polluted the church until she lies helpless at their feet. Not one of them can be convicted for their deeds. Has it not been tried? Hasn't it been proven that the shabp protects them, while at the same time he knows of their pernicious acts. The A. M. E. church is the largest and strongest organization of color in the world. Her influence is great. Therefore if her ministry is bad, more than other agency, she does more to degrade the Negro race. Her bad ministers are polluting the streams of society, making ashamed decent citizens and painting the race blacker in the presence of our white friends. Shall our mothers be contaminated, our daughters be allured from the path of virtue, our sons be encouraged to become seducers. Shall we endure these things just to keep in power a few ungodly, unprincipled men who mask as clergymen? Dear reader, you may say, oh that is only a church matter, but you are in error. No lawyer, physician, teacher nor merchant has the influence for good or bad over your family as a minister. I care not whether you are interested in churches or not. The conduct of a minister affects you either for weal or woe, whether you will have it so or not. Just so far as he is honest and good just so far will he lift up your family and yourself. And just so far as he is bad, a drunkard, adulterer, eta just so far will he influence your family to the bad. Therefore, it is not simply a church matter, but a matter in which every Negro citizen must be interested, whether he be a religious man, sinner, or infidel, he must be interested in the moral character of the men who fill the pulpits in his community or city. Bad ministers must be discouraged and good ones supported. Via the North-Western Line.

Mrs. Susan Virden of Des Moines Swoons as Bon is Held to Grand Jury for Larceny, and Falls to Revive. Des Moines, Sept. 10—As Fred Virden was bound over to the grand jury of larceny of larceny by Justice Duncan, his aged mother, Mrs. Susan Virden, fell to the floor in a faint, which ended with death late yesterday afternoon. The boy was accused of stealing a harness from 1121 West Loutch street, by V. D. Adair, and was taken before the court for hearing. Despite the fact she was 72 years old and feeble, Mrs. Virden insisted on going to the court room. When she entered she was dressed in a white coat and bathed her head with cold water. She had swoooned in court before, and some of the bystanders said it was a ruse to arouse sympathy for her son. She was given a few charitable thoughts. As the justice began to render his decision she bent forward and listened intently, her head bowed to catch the fatal words, and then she fell upon the floor in a heap. She was carried to her home, while her son was taken to the county jail. Mrs. Virden never again opened her eyes to recognize anyone. She heard the order to take her son to jail to be taken to this last sad thought, lost consciousness. When the news of his mother's death was brought to young Virden in his iron cage at the county jail, he pleaded piteously to get out. He begged one of the officers to the bedside and mother. He met the detective upon the locked door, but it was unopened and his wish was denied. The officers had no authority to take him from the jail, and the courts were all closed for the day. So he mourned his mother death behind the fence, where others laughed, fested and made as many as the dismal abode would permit. HANGED HERSELF IN CELL Determined Effort of Mrs. Ella Foster To Commit Bullec. Sloux City, Sept. 10—In attempting to perpetrate a joke on a friend who was visiting in the office at the city jail the police made the discovery that Mrs. Ella Foster, who was confined in the woman's ward of the city, had attempted to hang her self and had nearly succeeded. The friend of the policemen had been told to go upstairs from the office on some trivial errand. When he reached the landing of the floor on which the cells for women were located, Mrs. Foster apparently lifeless, hanging to a bar in the door to her cell. The woman had taken a sheet from her bed, fastened it to the cell door and around her throat, and was nearly strangled to death. In order to accomplish her purpose, she had to walk a few feet away from the floor. By quick and heroic efforts she was revived and soon fully recovered. WALKED OFF TRAIN IN SLEEP.

Sloan kept it — The little daughter of Fred Richards was seriously scaled by upsetting a pot of boiling coffee on top of her head. The family Richards had set the coffee pot on a cairn and the little girl, playing on the floor unnoticed, pulled the cairn off the floor. Principal of Hamilton Holdup Wanted At Ottumwa At Otumwa. Otumwa, Sept. 3. A brother of the young woman who was bound and gagged at Otumwa last September, left lying on a down staircase for more than three hours, and who all but died from the terrible effects of the ill treatment and exposure is authority for the statement that his sisterpositively identified Frank Baird, principal in the Hamilton robbery last January, as the man who robbed her father's house and left her exposed to the chill September air. Her sister postulated Baird while in the county jail at Knoville, said the Otumwa man to Deputy Sherif-Jones as they were seated in a train route to Mt. Pleasant last Saturday. "You see my sister was alone on the night of the robbery. She was seated in a chair at the chamber and went to investigate. Turning on the electric light she was horrified to behold a man with a bushy beard standing in the room. He ordered her to turn out the light and she refused. He then ordered the company downstairs by the name of 'Bill', gagged and bound her. "Before securing her, however, she tore off the false beard and looked at her. She carried downstairs and left lying on the porch, where the folks found her more than three hours later. She regained her seat for nearly four days. "While reading a description of the man who had committed the Hamilton robbery my sister declared that the man answered the descriptions of the man who bound and gagged her. We went immediately to Kruger to clap her. We clapped her eyes on Baird she declared he was the man." It is thought there will be no prosecution for the Ottumwa robbery. Baird is said to be slowly falling and is not expected to survive the plunge in which he was sentenced. The wound on his face is giving him a great deal of trouble so that he occupies a ward in the hospital most of the time. MANY SALOONS AFFECTED. Interpretation Sought to be Put On Mulct Law Would Close Them. Des Moines, Sept. 9. - In the injunction suit commenced against Lorenza Ill, tenant, and the owners of the building at the northeast corner of West Third street and Court avenue, and of interest to landlords and liquor dealers all over the state. It is a question, that if determined adversely to the defendants, will result in the closing of over half the saloons in this city, in large large proportion of those in the state. The defense is relying on the intent of the legislature when it passed upon the revision, and the intent of the literal intent of the word property in their contention that it was not the intent of the legislature to change the limits of the consent requirement as set forth in the Constitution, up to the court to decide what the intent was and whether the rule of legislative intent or the rule of literal intent of the words shall apply in this case. PATIENT BACK TO GERMANY. Officials Report Immigrant Found To Be Imagined Des Molines, Sept. 9.—The first application of a new law in regard to the sending back to Europe of immigrants who become public charges is just being made by the state board of control. An order has been made to send to Chicago from Clarinda one Gertrude Steinbach, an insane woman, who was sent to the hospital from Charlton. It was found that she came as an inmate for the first time last March. The facts were laid before the immigration commissioner at New York, and he ordered that she be sent back to Europe, as under a new law the transportation companies are bound to return to Europe for public charges in a year. She will, therefore, be sent to Chicago at the expense of the state, and from there will go to New York, and the steamship line which brought her to America will take her back. PERFAETOR AT HIS POST Burnside Agent of M. C. St. L. Resumes Home. Ft. Dodge, Sept. 10. Word has been received by the Minneapolis & St. Louis officials here that Agent Perfactor of that road, whose sudden disappearance, has caused, has caused so much wonder, has returned. Perfactor left over a week ago and it was thought for some time that he had met with foul play. This was cleared up by the police, and a ticket for Chicago from Ft. Dodge. A small shortage in his accounts was discovered by the railroad company. This he made up on his return, but what reasons he gives for his sudden disappearance, leaving the door of the open, has not been learned here. THREATENS DAMAGE SUIT Father of Boy Who Was Accidentally Shot Seeks Revenue Sloan City Sept 11—Barnard Sittig, father of little Richard Sittig, who was found with a bullet wound in the abdomen on the Sand Hill lake road, and concerning whose death there is considerable mystery, is in Stormont in his son's death in the end. He threatens to bring a damage suit against Maurice Vernaster and Johnson Williamson, or their parents. These were the two boys at the time the little Sittig boy was shot and from whose rifle the spray bullet is supposed to have come. Insurance Companies' Charges Against Beaching and Merrimack. Des Moines, Sept. 11.—The investigation which the state executive council directed Auditor of State Carroll to make into the question of fees collected from insurance companies by the insurance examiners of Iowa working under former auditors, he said, has the facts as ascertained have been made a matter of record in the office of Mr. Carroll. The information was elicited from insurance companies, Auditor of State Merriam having failed to make up the record on direction of the executive board, and now in the hands of Auditor Carroll show that during 1899, 1900, 1901 and 1902, there was collected from insurance companies in Iowa and other states, fees amounting to approximately $22,500 for examination. Merriam was paid by the companies to Mr. Max Beehler, of Manchester, principally. On two trips made by him the then auditor, Mr. Merriam, accompanied, and assisted him in examining about twenty-five of his expenses, and about $8,500 being collected. Some of the smaller Iowa companies were examined by E. L. Camp. Mr. Beehler appeared to have been assisted in certain examinations by his son, in one by a Council member, and another by Mr. Tunner, of Los Angeles. Many of the companies which reported to the present auditor complained bitterly of the charges made for the so-called examinations. They were not asked to determine the extent of the examinations, the companies were requested to state the time occupied by the Iowa officers in making them. Not to exceed seven hours, they were required to put upon the books of any single company, and in such cases the charges went as high as several hundreds of dollars. It is the theory of the officers and inquiries in such cases must be made by single experts in a few days. Of the larger companies adequate examinations would take weeks. In one case a company reports that it only a few days were required, and he collected $48 for leaving it. The reports of the companies, for instance, show that from May 14 to June 14, 1902, Messrs. Earnhardt and Earnhardt six catering companies, and collected fees amounting to $2,524.20 for it. From November 10, 1902, to December 17, of the same date, there were other catering companies, them, and fees amounting to $4,003.45 were collected therefor. In the last week in March, 1902, Mr. Beehler examined two California companies, and fees amounting to $1,700. Before the executive council had gone far into this investigation it discovered that the state was powerless to do anything on account of the fee collection, the auditor and his Inspectors examiners. An inquiry was made of the attorney general as to the power of the council to require the auditor to account into the law very carefully and decided that there was no statutory authority for requiring the auditor to account for the collections. Therefore, the state cannot be held liable for the attorney general asked the attorney general if the auditor of state was not required by the law to keep a record of the fees collected and this the attorney general asked the attorney Carroll is now engaged in inscribing upon this record book the reports made as to the Merriam-Beechler collections and will keep his own examination accounts therein, if The council has gone into the matter of recovery of fees paid but has as yet been unable to discover any method by which this may be done. As to the power of the court, it is already paid by them, there is doubt. It is said that the Iowa law might be sufficient if there was extortion, to permit indictment and prosecution for oppression in office. But this prosecution must be accomplished so that if there were plain guilt in this matter, even, possibly the New York or Minnesota or California or other state laws would not cover the matter as do the Iowa statutes. ORE NEAR WAUKON. Prospectors Discover Some Valuable Leads and May Open Big Mines. Waukon, Sept. 8.—The prospecting at the mines which has been in progress for the past few months has been discontinued and the machinery returned to Duluth. Captain Simon and assistant residents are still here await orders. The work has been thorough and no one here knows just what the result of the investigation is, although everything seems to indicate that equipment had been obtained. Eleven shafts have been sunk, the deepest being fifty-three feet. From each one a sample of ore was taken at every five feet and forwarded to headquartered mine officials, and they are down to limestone and whether or not there is ore below is not known for sure, although parties who have drilled in that locality report their results and found a good show in sight would be of sufficient quantity in case the quality is of a nature that would make it desirable, and as this has been assayed at various times and found it is good show the company taking the property. In case the mines would be worked in the near future it would mean much to Waukau as a large force would be needed to move the large scale. The transportation question would not worry them as they would construct what road was required themselves. FIRE ESCAPE LAW TO STAND No Danger of the Law Being Deployed Not Locally Bassed. Des Moines, Sept. 11—Senator Dowell, who drafted the fire escape bill which is now a law, says he does not anticipate any danger to the law on account of the Cedar Rapids attack thereon. The record of the general assembly now passes Senator Dowell "that the bill as first passed was without an enactment clause, but that it was recalled by the house, an enacting clause placed in and passed afterwards by both houses." Senator Trewin whose firm sets out the plan to pass the bill, was present and voted for the bill on its final passage. His partner, senator Moffit, was not in the senate at the time. The bill was passed without a dissenting vote. Senator Dowell said that he will impose amendments to the law to make it more effective, though it has proved a great success. The law is attacked at Cedar Rapids on account of the loss of life in the Clinton fire fire, the hotel not being provided with fire escapes. FIGHTING TAKES PLACE AT BEIRUT Mussulmans, Christians and Turkish Soldiers Have a Street Fight. SEVERAL FATALITIES OCCUR British Consul Threatens to Ask Admiral Cotton to Land Marines—Diplomats See Fresh Cause for Concern in Incident. Washington, Sept. 10—The navy department has received the following cablegram from Admiral Cotton dated Beirut, September 7: "Violence and bloodshed between the Mohammedans and native Christians occurred at Beirut Sunday. Six Greek Christians, two Mohammedans and one Turkish soldier killed. Two Greek Christians, two Mohammedans and one Turkish soldier killed. Seriously, Other murders reported. Flag leutnant and United States consul were present Sunday and Monday in the disturbed quarters and verify statement. Turkish government willing to afford facility for Turkish soldiers to use 1,000 more Turkish soldiers. Turkish soldiers present sufficient if properly disposed of to handle situation at Beirut. Well patrolled and all quiet Sunday night and today, Monday. Turkish governor promises to all help to secure authority. Many houses closed and business suspended." Constantinople, Sept. 9. — A consular dispatch from Beirut received at one of the embassies here, states that a force brace light occurred there Monday between parties of Mussulmans and Christians. It was due to a shot fired by a Mussulman upon a Christian employed at the American college. The Christian was wounded. The light broke out while the vall was on board the United States cruiser Brooklyn, returning Admiral Cotton's visit. In diplomatic circles here the affair is regarded as being serious and a renewal of the disturbances is feared. A fair leaghed later to the Ottoman ambassadors abroad for communication to the powers says that the Christians were the assailants, they having fired upon four Mussulmans. A fight between Christians came to the assistance of their respective compatriots. This, says the report, compelled the troops to intervene and they succeeded in restoring order. Three soldiers while one Christian was killed and one wounded. These figures evidently are incorrect, as the rioters must have lost more heavily than the military. The British consul at Beltrut immediately vaulted and threatened to ask Rear Admiral Cotton to land marines from the American squadron in the event of the renewal of the disturbances. In official circles here the disturbances are attributed to the arrival of the American squadron, and the belief in expressed that the Christians at the end endured the landing of marines from the warships. SHIPS ENCOURAGE CHRISTIANS Appearance of Stars and Stripes in Turkish Waters Give Them Heart. London, Sept. 9.—Official and diplomatic circles here regard the conflict between Mussulmans and Christians at Beirut as evidence of the development of the feeling throughout Turkey as a result of the Macedonian trouble. This is borne out by a threatened uprising in Smyrna. The Turkish embassy yesterday received a dispatch from Constantinople in relation to the Beirut affair as follows: "Some of the orthodox inhabitants of Beirut attacked four Mussulmans in the quarry, fired upon them and rioting ensued. "The imperial authorities immediately sent troops to the scene of the disturbance, which put an end to the disturbance, and the army of three were wounded. One civilian was killed and one was wounded. Order and tranquility are perfectly maintained in all parts of the villayet. A high Turkish official pointed out that the army had been surprised but he said it would not have been even surprising had the Mussulmans preciated the row, for throughout Turkey indignation is felt at the conduct of the Mussulmans in Macedonia." "The Christians at Beirut have been greatly encouraged by the appearance of the American squadron, the presence of which could not be regarded sympathetic to the abdomenmedian cause, because it has not to pay a friendly call, but to enforce demands." It is understood here that Turkey is anxious to induce the United States to intervene in the Turkish waters, believing that such action would discourage the Christians, who hope for American intervention, and the porte is now expected to make concessions in compliance with the American representations. MUSSULMANS ATTACKED FIRST. Story of the Beirut Riots as Told by the Consular Reports. Constantinople, Sept. 10.—Consular accounts received from Beirut totally differ from the Turkish version of the riots. The Beirut Beirut was not on board of the United States flagship Brooklyn when the first brawl occurred, but was in the country. Contrary to the official version, the consul dispatches say the Mussulmans first attacked the Christians, and the Muslims the Mussulmans. One of the pilaged houses belonged to a French citizen. Though there has been no further disturbance at Beirut since Monday, great uneasiness, amounting almost to 100,000 Christians, many of whom have left and sought refuge in Lebanon. The foreign consuls at Beirut met on Monday and decided to make serious representations to the local authorities going to the conservation of order. They decided to their respective ambassadors or ministers at Constantinople demanding WATER UNDERSTATED SEQUINES MOCKS HOT AIR the recall of the incompetent vall of Beirut and requesting that warships be sent for the protection of the Nazim Pasha, vali of Syria, was ordered from Damascus to Beirut, where he arrived yesterday. The number of troops sent was less than with two battalions of troops to take temporary charge of affairs there. The vali of Beirut, it is also announced, has not been sent, and the will probably remain inactive at his post during the stay of Nazim Pasha at Beirut. While the roling was in progress, the Beirut advisers, an angan, and Rear Admiral Cotton to land marines, but he replied that he could not intervene in a quarrel among Ottoman subjects. It is considered probable that French mariners to Beirut, and other powers. MACEDONIANS IN HIDING. Thousands of Women and Children Have Taken to the Mountains. Sofa, Bulgaria, Sept. 8—The Macedonia interior organization estimates that 150,000 women, children and old men are hiding in the mountains and forests of Macedonia. The Turks are burning the forests in the districts of Leren and Kostur, and killing fugitives who attempt to escape to the mountains. The Turkish village of Qoppa three hours distant from Monastir, who are burned by the Turks, who are reported to have thrown several of the inhabitants into the fire. Fifteen thousand of the soldiers and an army from the frontier at Patakina, Kratovo and Gotschani, and are plundering the surrounding villages. The people have not complained, fearing that they may be murdered. In Patakina, the soldiers are reported to be naked and starving and to be robbing all around. The general staff of the insurgents has issued a circular ordering the troops to moist the peaceful Turkish and Albanian villages. The order concludes: "There will always be plenty of time to take such measures." Famine prevails in the district of Makusha, where it is going into the adjacent districts. All reports from the vilayet of Monastir agree in describing the situation as appalling. Between 30,000 and 50,000 Bulgarian inhabitants are believed to have been Bulgarian civilians in the Bulgarian village in the vilayet has been destroyed. The refugees in the mountains and forests are dying of starvation by thousands. At present it is impossible to obtain precise figures. The revolutionary headquarters, women, women and children have been killed, while at least the same number of refugees are regarded as an underestimate and officials incline to the belief that the number of the massacred apparently determined to exterminate the entire Bulgarian population of the vilayet. The actual details of the happenings outside the towns are not available. The foreign representatives furnished to them from Turkish official sources. In government circles here the situation is viewed with increasing alarm. It is reliably reported that the Turkish forces in Macedonia number 300,000. It is considered impossible that such a force has been assembled merely to crush the problem. It is feared that the sultan is meditating an attack on Bulgaria. PRESIDENT TO WORKERS Makes an Address at Syracuse, N. Y. on Labor Day. Syracuse, N. Y. Sept. 8.-President Roosevelt yesterday was accorded a magnificent reception by the citizens of his own state at the state fair grounds. He delivered an address to 50,000 people on good citizenship and the relation of labor and capital to the state. Among other things he said: "We can keep our government on a sane and healthy basis, we can make and keep our social system what it should be, only on condition of judging it properly and therefor will spurn the leadership of those who seek to excite this ferocious and foolish class antagonism." "The good citizen is the man who, whatever his wealth or his poverty, strives manfully to do his duty to himself, to his family, to his neighbor, to the baseness, which manifests either in arrogance or in envy, in demanding justice for himself is no less scrupulous to do justice to others." "In other words, legislation to be permanently good for any class must also be good for the nation as a whole, legislation which does injustice to any citizen in certain to work harm to the nation." Monastir Correspondent Tells of Home Inquiry; Sends at That Place. plans London, Sept. 10.—The Monastir correspondent of the Daily Mail sends a graphic account of the sticking night he witnessed in the hospitals thee. The victims of Turkish brutality were mostly Greeks and Wallachians. Many women and children had wounds from Mauser bullets, proving that they had been inflicted by regular troops, inasmuch as the Basil-Bazouks are armed with Martins. The stories told by the victims tended to proffer accounts of the Turkish troops of brutalities and massacres. The officials and press reports from the far east cast emphasis the seriousness of the situation there and confirm the belief that the sultan may be swept by the uncontrollable attack of objects in a war with Bulgaria, despite the unwillingness of the porte to precipitate such a conflict. There is no question in official circles here that the porte will take energetic measures to suppress any trouble at Belgrade or to point to protect her interests, but Germany has asserted that she will not do so. A high diplomatic authority asserts today that when Russia submits to the porte her proposals for the pacification of the sultan, she can be her Black sona, to Turkish waters, and it may take a much longer stay there than did the Russian squadron at Inlada bay. The St. James Gazette says an arrangement has been made that it will come into operation under certain eventualities. BULGARIANS ARE AROUSED. Their Temper, as Result of Recent Events, Reaches Boiling Point. London, Sept. 11.—The temper of the Bulgarian people and government, according to telegraphs from Sofa, is rising to a danger point. All indications tend to show that however loyally the government desires to observe a neutral attitude it will be forced ere long by pressure from the press in the country. The government of Macedonia with the Macedonian Christians. Premier Petroff's informal intimation to the diplomats in Sofa that unless some means of restraining Turkey's terrible measures to suppress the uprising in Bulgaria will be forced to depart from strict neutrality, is regarded as a warning in this sense to the powers. A committee representing all classes has been organized by the professors of the University of Sofia to discuss the situation. Bitter attacks on Prince Ferdigand are indulged in for his action in dissolving the sobrane at such a critical moment, which is characterized as treason against the people. The government of Sofa, this committee today urging the immediate mobilization of the army against Turkey. PENSION ROLL INCREASING. Commissioner Ware Says. It Will Never Again Cross Million Mark. Washington, Sept. 11.—The annual report of Commissioner of Pensions Ware, places the total number of pensioners now on the rolls at 996,545, of which 729,356 are兼职 dependents. Mr. Ware announces that it is not probable that the pension roll will again cross the million line, the high water mark having been reached.

New York, Sept. 10.—Seventeen additional indictments against persons said to be implicated in the postponement of the Spanish war to Charles J. Bonaparte of Baltimore, who has been retained by the government to aid in the prosecution of nearly two score of its employees. Mr. Bonaparte declared that the cases which indictments are returned by the government are served as rapidly as the evidence at hand will permit.

WAR REPORTS ARE CONFLICTING THE KILLING IS KEPT UP Work of Extermination in Macedonia Proceeds Without Any Check Russia and Austria Propose Action By Powers. Berlin, Sept. 8.—Russia and Austria have proposed that the powers take coercive action at Sofa, with the aim of severing the relations now existing between Bulgaria and the Macedonian insurgents. Germany has assented, but several of the powers have objected and the Russian and Austrian proposal, the Associated Press is officially informed, has probably fallen through. London, Sept. 8.—Special dispatches from the far east published here this morning add little fresh news regarding the situation in Bulgaria. The correspondents at Constantinople emphasize the apparent danger of war with Bulgaria, while the Sofa correspondents are equally insistent as to the nature of the attacking Prince Ferdinand and his government. Accounts from both Turkish and insurgent sources of the operations in Macedonia show that the work of extermination is proceeding unchecked, the danger of a conflagration, the powers are making some attempts to interfere, it is believed that nothing of a serious nature will be done until after the meeting of the czar and the commander of the embatt at Vienna, when it may be too late. The insurgents are now said to number 26,000 well armed and efficiently commanded men. The leaders seemingly will stop at nothing to secure resources for their equipment. The president of the Daily Telegraph says: "In the attempt to stamp out the insurrection in this quarter so as to release the troops for operation, else they would be in danger of being treated alike. We reason to suspect that an attempt is being made to induce the indiscriminate slaughter of the Bulgarian element, in order to prevent the danger in danger of being treated alike. Should this prove true, there can be no hope of saving the greater part of the population in districts of western Macedonia." STANDARD OIL ACCUSED. Dallas, Texas, Sept. 8.—The Fort Worth Telegram prints the most startling story that has ever come out of the Beaumont oil fields, and states that its informant is one of the most prominent men of Fort Worth, and who has just returned from Beaumont. This man declares that the Standard Oil company has perceptrated a most swathe swamp in the Beaumont fields, that positive distressed details are just coming to light. The independent oil companies of Beaumont are the victims, many of which have been wrecked by the Standard's work. Recently some of the leading men of the wrecked or the investigated company have investigated, and in two days they raised $27,000 with which to push the work. The developments, it is declared, are simply astounding. It is shown that the numerous oil wells that were apparently ruined by salt water were acquired by the Standard Oil company's conspirators. As fast as a company went to the wall its property was bought in by the trust. Byaccident, it is claimed, the desperate work of the Standard company was carried out. The Standard Oil company long ago built a pipe line from Beaumont to the Gulf of Mexico. A pumping station was erected at Beaumont and another at the gulf. Oil was pumped through the pipe line to the Gulf and the world. Suddenly many oil wells of the dependent companies had salt water in them. 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 catskin, the horses will feel as if they were drawing a double burden.

"Iowa will head all the states in the Mississippi valley in the percentage of fruit crop for this year. The Hawkeye state will harvest 48 per cent of a crop of apples and plums. Returns from the other states give their fruit output as follows: Iowa 20 per cent; Illinois 20 to 30 per cent; Minnesota, a very light crop, no figures being given. "The bulk of the fruit crop of the country for this year will come from Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey." This statement has been given out from the office of the State Horticultural society. "Iowa will have fewer apples to ship and fewer orchards than New York and restyling Wesley Green." "The commercial orchards, which are located in the southwestern part of the state, were damaged by the late frost of the latter part of April, and their output was severely reduced." The farm orchards over the state will yield sufficient to supply the local demand, but there will be few left to ship away. It is probable that winter apples will be higher in price than last year, when Iowa yielded a 55 per cent crop, and when the quality of the fruit was unusually good. This year, blight has caused some damage, and there is concern that it will not be far from all that there is every indication that there will be enough to satisfy all local demands. Rawie's gnet, a winter apple raised mostly in the southern part of the state, will be a good crop this year, on account of its late blooming, which kept it from being damaged by frost." The cash balance on hand in the treasury of the state of Iowa, belonging to the general revenue, on January 1, 1904, will reach in the neighborhood of $1,000,000, according to the estimate of State Treasurer G. S. Gilbertson, whose biennial report is now almost ready for presentation to Gov. Warren G. Brown unexpected sources, it is stated, have raised the estimate to this amount from $200,000 to $300,000, at which was placed by the estimates by the committee on ways and means of the Twenty-ninth general assembly. "The volume of business transacted by this department," says Treasurer Gilbertson in his report, "continues from all sources of revenue greater receipts are noted and the number of transactions multiplied. The systemized records permit prompt disposition of the business of the department." The balance on hand at the close of June 30, 1903, was $1,750,478.88. Many appropriations made by the state were not either not been drawn or are yet to become available, and therefore this present balance will be much reduced later. "The work of covering the counties of Iowa with geological reports has been fairly well completed," said Professor S. Calvin of Iowa City, state geologist, who was on a visit in the city. Professor Calvin was on his way to Iowa City to resume his work in the State university, after having completed a geological survey. Work was done this season in Benton, Clayton, Clinton, Winneshiek, Emmet, Palo Alto and Pocontahas counties, and a survey was also started in Jasper which will be finished next year. "Very few of the counties which remain to be covered are in the coal country. Lucas and Jasper are the most important coal producing counties in the southwest, and some extent in Taylor, Adams and Union counties, in the southwest part of the state. These will be covered in the near future, and after that the work of securing a complete geologic map of Iowa will be quickly finished. "The department will then be in a position to take up the subject of coal as applied to the entire state, instead of treating it by counties, and a monograph on that subject will be issued. On the subject of building stones, on the subject of building stones, lime burning rock and cement making. Next year's rock and cement will contain a monograph by Dr. Beyer of Ames on the general subject of the clays of the coal country, to be handled in the reports from counties in which deposits are found." Robert Fullerton, of Des Moines, has been appointed by Secretary of the Treasury Shaw to disburse the $5,000,000 appropriated by congress in aid of the world's fair. Mr. Fullerton is president and large stockholder in the Chicago Lumber and Coal company, which has its headquarters in St. Louis. He has charge of one of the largest branches of the company, which is located in Des Moines. The Empire Loan and Trust company of Sheldon, which was investigated by the state auditor's office, complain that it was doing a banking transaction without a proper appraisal, has been found to have been incorporated for pecuniary profit. The officers of the company have declared their readiness to submit to inspection from bank inspectors according to the laws of the United States of America law. The company needs no further incorporation. From the people in the car the cry went up: "A woman has fallen in a faint!" The conductor paled. "Heavens!" he exclaimed; "what will the company say when they learn she had room to fall?" Then he burst into tears, for he had a family to keep and sorely needed his job. He is a wonder in his line. He has invented a system by which false teeth can be made to adhere to the gums so firmly that in three months it is difficult to extract them. This Russian tooth-graver hopes in hints to be able to rival man-made making artificial grinders that able. "How is that young man who was subsisting on a borax diet?" "In fine condition," answered the man who was conducting the food experiments; the only danger is that he will spoil his teeth. He will be ill before his vacation is over, and he gets back to chemicals." Loss of fortune and loss of his practice so affected Dr. Edward Stanton, of Kokomo, Ind., that he became demented. He imagined himself an ox, and strutten on all fours through the pasture of the country farm, with the horse, and he went downdenly while thus occupied, and with his mouth and stomach full of grass. STORIETTES. The other day a small boy, aged four, was alternately beating a rug with all his might, and looking up at the sky with rapt attention. "What are doing, Charles?" his mother said. "Oh, I'm just sending up some dust to God, so he can make some new people!" was the reply. Henry Laboucheur was once asked what he called the Prince of Wales—now King Edward—when he dined at Marborough House. "Well," said Laby, "when the soup comes on I address him as 'Your Royal Highness.' The fish often softens the reserve, and I get a little chummer, and often the entrees and joints I get quite familiar, and he becomes 'Eddie,' while he slaps me on the back, and dubs me 'Laby!' Once, when the late President Faure was being escorted through the Paris Salon by an artist of note, on the opening day, he caught sight of a picture that struck him as safe to criticise. To his dismay he found that the author of the machine' which has had his humiliation was his worst guide. Turning to the morbidized painter, he said: "You know how it is; the buyer always runs down the thing which he has set his heart on. And the artist of the Palais de l'Elysée!" and, as good as his word, the president bought the picture next day. Two Highlanders, being in Glasgow for the first time, were having a walk through the city. Turning a corner, they were much surprised to see a water-cart wetting the street. Not having seen anything of the kind before, they ran after the cart, and cried to the driver: "Hay man—hay, man, yer loin's a yer water!" His friend, annoyed at Tougal's want of knowledge, ran after him, caught him by the arm, and ran back to the cart. Tougal, dina be showin' yer ignorance. Dyer no see it's to keep the ladda off the back of the cairt! An Old Soldier's Experience. "Dennard, Ark, Sept. 17th," E. J. Hickman, of the place, has written for publication, an account of a personal experience, which is very interesting. "I am an old Federal soldier," writes Mr. Hicks, "and shortly after the close of the war I was taken sick. I had aches and pains all over me, fluttering of the heart and stomach trouble. I just simply was never a moment without pain. I could not sleep at night, and I was always tired and cold. I had no pain at all." I took medicine all the time, but for a long time I was more dead than alive. Allogether I suffered for over twenty years, and I believe I would have been suffering yet, or in my grave, if I had not read of Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I got an amanic which told me of this remedy, and I bought some of it. I started with three pills a day, but increase the dose to six pills a day. I had not used many till my pains began to disappear. I kept on and now could, and I feel like a new man, with no pains or aches left. "I will always recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills, for they are a wonderful remedy." We are approaching the open season for mistaking persons for deer, elk and bears.

District Organizer of the Royal Templars of Temperance, asked me to "think that a woman naturally shrinks from making her troublesapplicable, but restored health has meant so much to me that I feel for the sake of other people that I can tell what Peruna has done for me." "I suffered for five years with uterine irregularities, which brought on hysteria and made me a physical wreck. I tried to get medical, but without any perceptible change in my condition. In my despair I called on an old nurse, who advised me to try Peruna, and promised good results. I was very regularly. I thought this was the least I could do and procured a bottle. I knew as soon as I began taking it that it was affecting me differently from anything else. I thought it might be making it. I kept this up for six months, and steadily gained strength and health, and when I had used fifteen bottles I considered myself entirely curved." I asked Miss Muriel Armigate, "to-day."

The symptoms disappear. herself ill enough to go to bed, but she is the greatest exhaustion. This is a very common sight and is almost always due to palvic catarach. It is worse than foolish for no many women to experience this in a disease that can be permanently cured. Pernula curses catarach permanently. It curses old chronic cases as well as a slight attack, the poly difference being in the amount of time that it should take to effect a cure.
