GOURTNEY-JONES One of the most elaborate weddings of this year occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. Courtney, 1011 Grocken street, Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. Their oldest daughter, Miss Revister, was united in the holy bonds of wedlock to Mr. W. W. Jones of Burton (his picture was in the current issue of the BRISTANDER). At two minutes of 8 o'clock the bridal party had formed and was marching to the parlor, while Mendelson's wedding was being played by Mrs. Samuel Bryant. First came Naomi Coalson the flower girl, a sister of the bride, than Mr. John Coalson and the groom, also Mr. Richard and Miss Lilly Coalson, followed by Mr. L. Courtney and the bride. They were met in the parlor by Rev. T. L. Griffith who performed the ceremony in his usual greetful manner The bride wore a beautiful white watered silk trimmed with chiffon made on train and white bridal veil with a wreath, and carried a bouquet of cornations, which made her look very charming. The groom was attired in a full dress suit and wore white gloves. He lives at Burton, and as previously stated by him is a worthy young man. They will make their home in that city. There were about 65 guests present and they were received at the front door by Messrs. Richard, John and Spurgeon Coalson who wore full dress suits. The lawn was illuminated by Japanese lanterns. The out of town guests were Mrs. Thomas of Albia, Miss Iona Mason of M. Pleasant, the Misses Estelle Jones, Amanda Harvey, the Messrs. C. T. Jones, T. W. Jones and J. W. Weele of Buxton. We ask them to add our congratulations to those already received. They were the recipients of many useful presents. We expect to publish a list of them next week. During the reception hours refreshments were served No doubt a number of our readers will be surprised to learn that Mrs. Annie Hall and Rev. T. W. Lewis of Keokuk were quietly married at the A. M. E. church parsonage last Saturday at 7 o'clock, by Bishop A. Grant. The bride is no doubt one of the best women in the state, as she conducted a boarding house at 304 Walnut street for years, and many a person who has never been to Des Moines has heard of her. So we can say without fear of contradiction that Rev. Lewis has secured a very frugal and entagrete wife, and may joy and happiness be theirs. They will reside in Keokuk, as the reverend has been re-appointed pastor of the A. M. E. church of that city. The reverend is an intelligent, good acnest man. MILLER-CHILDRESS Mrs. Amanda Miller and Mr. Jacob Childress, formerly of Evans, were married by Rev. T. L. Griffith at his parsonage last Wednesday evening at 7:30 o'clock. Only a very few friends were present, in fact the wedding had been kept so secret that hardly any one knew that they were to be married but as they attended the Courtney-Jones wedding that same evening they informed their friends that they were husband and wife. Three weddings in less than a week is a good record. HOME VISITORS' EXCURSION TICKETS TO INDIANA AND OHIO.

CONFERENCE The twenty-first annual conference of the Iowa district of the A. M. E. church closed Sunday night at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium with a sermon by Dr. E. J. Carey and the announcement of the appointments by Bishop Grant. Dr. Carey chose as his text Psalms 101, 102, and from this endeavored to ensure the ableness of earthly things and the im mortality and eternity of God. Incidentally he paid a glowing tribute to the church. Dr. Carey said in part: "The history of the church, it is true, has been characterized by different dispensations. This has been for the deepest and wisest reasons. Yet the same Saviour and the same hope of personal salvation which were presented to Adam, to the patriarchs, to the apostles, to the saints, to which eternity of God pledged for its immutability and church is more durable than the solid granite. "See that huge, gigantic boulder, heaved by volcanic power from the mountain side, lying upon the ocean shore amid the accumulated debris of the tide, exhibiting the abrasions of the tide, the rocks and driving rains and scarred and cracked by the heavy trump of ages—even its indurated structure has not been able to resist the power of change. But the church, thang Goi. For years, unmarked by the fragments of thrones and republics continually drifting by on the roaring current of time, and unbattered by the conclusion of hell's infenal thunderbolts, incashed and impermissible strength heaven, as unchangeable and unilapg nable as the thone of Goi. The same banner of lily white, which waved over Adam's family altar and which laid out and enlisted and fell; the same banner which was placed in front of the three of life and its guardian sword of overturning and overcringling fame, and which, in the light of God's favor, breaking through the darkness of man's dispelling night, finished defiance in the very teeth of the serpent and was the symbol of an inaugurated, organized opposition to hell, which would result in hell: the same banner of enlistment of its legions to Brebus—six floats at the head of the church's columns. "It is a banner which has never been lowered, but high and lifted up, unfolded upon the air of every embattled field and scene of contest which is sunshine and darkness it has every streamed in triumph, while the measure of human ambition have trailed in the dust. It will never be folded in the gates of Paradise are rolled wide open and man is redeemed and saved. "The church has withstood the revolutions of time, the mutations of fortune, the desolating trend of ages and the disintegrating fall of dynasties, the desolating collapse of insouche scourge of persistence. It outlived the flood, the confusion of tongues, the brickyards of Goshen, the temple, the Jews, the astrological lore of the Chaldeans, the mythology of Greece and the ecclesiastical convulsions of the Dark Ages. In the very hour of its extremest discouragement, when weeping plenty thought all was lost and laughing iniquity thought all was gained, the sum of the Reformation and sanctuary and illumined the world. "The church has been attacked by devils and demons, by physics and metaphysics, learning and ignorance, genius and talent, strategem and chilancy, intrigue and diplomacy, irony, books and presses, malls and rostrums, sabres and cannon, prisons and inquisitions—in fact all that the human mind has been able to invent, human skill execute, and human wisdom employ have been arrayed against it; but irresistible and plenipotent, it has pressed its conqueror into the fold, and driven its conquering charlot over their fallen armies." **The Appointments.** Following the reading of a scripture lesson from Matthew wherein Christ enjoined the apostles to go forth and preach the gospel, Bishop Grant anointed them with appointments for the ensuing year.

A. in the afternoon. During the day a number of contributions were called for, and last evening the announcement was made that an even $100 had been secured. Following the announcements of the conference was at an end. Bishop Grant said it was the most successful from every standpoint in the history of the Iowa conference. An address on the subject: "Might Mon of Waterloo deliver a Roy. R. C. Ransom of Chicago was the feature of the Sunday afternoon meeting of the conference of the African M. E. church, in the auditorium of the Central Church of Christ. Dr. Ransom spoke in part as follows: "The world, especially in this age of the world, has little space for weakness. We have had our age of iron and our age of bronze. Now the age is one of bronze and iron and steel intermingled. The man or woman who has been born on the same away on the crest of the wave of the busy life of today. "The world has only one word for the timid man or woman, and that word is failure. There is scant place for weaklings; they are crowded to the wall by men of courage and vigor. That the world wants is men of toughness. That the world must be followers but the world needs followers, mighty men of valor, who will take orders and obey them. Great men are not great because they have risen so high that no one can reach them. They have been raised by the people, and when they forget their duty, they cause they stand for great principles and carry them out. They are men of thought and action. "The same is true in every walk of life, intellectual and physical. It is true in statesmanship, in business and in the pulpit; valorous preachers to hear valorous church. Men and women who have a moral and spiritual problems of our times. "May God crown us with more vigorous Christianity, that we may make the world richer with the deeds we have done. "But the conference marked last Friday's session of the A. M. E conference at St. Paul's church. The race problem was discussed, by earnest and able speakers, in detail, and remedies were proposed for the solution of the problem. The audience included a number of ambassadors and tened to addresses by such leaders of the African race as Dr. Chapelle, editor of the Sunday school periodicals at Nakrishne, Tennessee; Editor Keeley of the A. M. E church Review and Dr. E. J. Carey, pastor of Quinn's chapel, a church boasting a large congregation. Rev. R. C. Ransom, also a leading African pastor of Chicago. The discussion was precipitated by the report of the committee on the state of the country. Dissatisfaction with the report was stated since it did not include recommendations looking to the solution of the race question. The committee decided that the country would expect some expression of opinion from the conference. Report of the Committee. The report of the committee on the state of the country was submitted by Dr. Galanes, and is as follows: "To the Bishop and Conference: Your committee on the state of the country beg leave to submit the following report: God made one race of men to dwell upon the face of the earth. Nations began with Abraham and God taught the solidarity of Hungary taught the solidarity of nations; the French taught the solidarity of the family and Jesus Christ taught the solidarity of man. The nations of the earth have established a peace conference at The Hague for the purpose of establishing peace through the species of organism that has for its objective point the best interests of man. "The right to vote is one of the most sacred belonging to the American citizen. We do not object to an educational or property qualification for the exercise of right to vote. But we insist that these tests should operate impartially toward all classes of voters. We insist that the revised constitutions of the southern states were framed for the avowed purpose of distranchising the negro. Judged by every test of loyalty and patriotism, the negro has earned the right to vote. We most strenuously insist that the negro will never voluntarily compromise or surrender these rights. Unusual elementary disturbances have caused pain and flood resulting in great damage and loss of life. Enormous destruction of property and a failure of crops in many sections of our country has sent food prices on the upward tendency. "The labor strikes, because of proportions and frequency, have brought great depression in business, retarded economic development, and caused many hardships upon the people. "War has ceased in our borders aall of our dependencies and our army and navy rests from the rigors of war. The war has been tolerated, and violence has been tolerated and an couraged until within the present year it has attended such proportions as to excite the attention of the nation and the whole world. The signs of the times point to the end of mob rule and mob spirit, and its barbarity. "Napoleon Bonaparte once said that he had rather have forty bayonets pointed at him than one newspaper. The ten million of people of African descent in this country have suffered long from a peculiar brand of American race prejudice, created and supported by certain evil spirits in the pulpit, on the rostrum, and with the pen. But recently almost all the colonies have prostituted its columns to the encouragement of race hatred and mob violence. "Nearly two thousand negro doctors, sixteen hundred lawyers, poets, painters, artists, inventors and businessmen in all parts of our land and in the world, are rapidly taking our places in every marit of the business world. More than seven hundred thousand farms are owned and operated by negro farmers; two hundred sixty-five thousand home free from debt and nearly all the assets of the communities have been made; twenty-one million dollars in church property and four million members and adherents. According to the last census we are paying taxes on $478,000,000 worth of property. We are asking for all we shall be able to stand in one mighty solid phalanx with the rest of mankind, demonstrating the fatherhood of God, the brotherhood of man, and the leadership of Jesus Christ." "An Avalanche of Mob Violence." The main discussion of the report was led by Rev. R. C. Ransom. He said in part: "There was no thought until recent years that the constitutional amendments, secured through the blood of our forefathers, would be called into action, and gained, through legislative measures, everything and more that she lost through these amendments. There has been an avalanche of mob violence, but we should never surrender our rights and should set our face up in any and all schemes of compromise." Dr. Chappelle's Views. Mr. Ransom was followed by Dr. W. D. Chappelle, editor of the A. M. E. Sunday school periodicals; and a lead speaker, people. Mr. Chappelle's talk in nart: "The so-called race problem cannot be solved by rhetoric and speechmaking. The people of the north know but little of the conditions as they exist in the south. The white and black people in this country theorize, and in fact do many things to injure the southern colored population. The situation demands moral ethics for its betterment. The white people of the south have not, and probably never will, accept the conditions to civil war. They are angry today. They are categorized negyro they use to call "Daddy" and "Mammy" before the war, but they will never find them. "The negro of the south today is of two kinds. The one is indolent and useless; while the other type of which he to speak and which is fast comet to us is thriff, intelligent and a money maker. The best class of southern negro is not known to the people of the north. You need shed no tears for us. We are not cowards, but I might as well state frankly, in reply to Ransom's argument, that the southern negro is not a race to which he justly entitled under the constitution. "And why? I will tell you. We forged to the front following the war and had representatives in our state and national legislative bodies. Today the situation is changed and we have no representatives of our race whatever. The cause is not hard to find, we are due to the fact that we cannot not equal to the occasion because of the inherent weaknesses of our race. Then it was that we began to get at the bottom of the thing and settled into our pace and began to acquire property and to educate ourselves and to get at the foundation of things. We have sought for learning and culture and we are coming to the front as a race, and the next time we come to the front we will come to stay and nothing under God's heaven can stop us. "The southern negro of today has more property and more money than his brother in the north and he wants that no tears shall be shed for him and that no pity be wasted in his being that no sense to strive to make friends of the south whom we must live, while you of the north are permitting the sentiment of the south to work to our decrement. Till has spoken in our congress and in your northern cities and the north of today is accepting the conditions in the south as they are told him by his brother in the north, and the south will be able to sweat from the last remaining right we acquired under the constitutional amendments. "We are now educating our people and all we ask you is that the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments be maintained until our people have come to the point that the people forever. You hear many speeches made here which their authors would not dare to make in the south. I sat here and heard the welcome address made by your mayor the other evening, and I want to say that if he had lived in the south, I live, in or in other southern cities, there would be no rest for him that night. **Heroes of Race in South.** "The heroes of our race live in the south. Down there we have 1,000 of our people, and we are here and we fight rests with us, not upon you. We are building up a name and reputation for you people of our race in the north. We no coward; I don't want to be pitted. So if you can't make cool headed speeches which are not of how to live among the white people." (Continued on page 4.) L. THOMPSON, EDITOR. A. H.

BOARD OF TRADE LOSES. Defendant Did Not Come Into Court With Clean Hands. Dubuque, Sept. 25. - Judge Shiras has written the opinion for the United States court of appeals in the case of Christie Grain & Stock company, et al., in the case of the United States of Chicago, appellee, reversing the decision of the federal court of Missouri and remanding the case to that court with instructions to dismiss the bill at complainant's cost. The Chicago company is in the lower court against the Christie company restraining it from obtaining from the telegraph companies any of the quotations furnished by the board of trade, alleging that the quotation would be furnished except upon contract. The testimony developed that 85 percent of the transactions of the board was gambling in margins, that by admission of the board it was shown that the appellant would be furnished except upon contract. On this evidence the appellate court holds that the board of trade did not come into court with clean hands, or for a lawful purpose, and it was not the duty of a court of equity to grant. In the transactions were in violation of the statute of Illinois and therefore unlawful. Find Bentle Thought To the Pleasant Impair.

IS NOT A MERE FORMALITY The King Will Not Assent to Form*ization of a New Cabinet Until He Is Satisfied With It—Tradition Is Done Away With. London, Sept. 24—The political crisis has taken on a phase which leads to the present situation un historical and constitutional importance of almost unprecedented interest. The king has interfered, not unconstitutionally or beyond the powers vested in the crown, but in the exercise of his prerogatives of an extent never dreamed of in the Victorian era. Prepster Balfour's continued presence at Balmoral has given rise to much surmise and comment, but the Associated Press is able to state definitely that it is due to the king's determination not to assent to the formation of a new cabinet until thoroughly satisfied that its personnel and combination is such as to insure the efficient carrying on of the affairs of the empire pending the resumption of the king's duties. The institutes were formed or ministral vacancies filled with the mere formal presentation to the sovereign of the names of the new minister. King Edward did not allow the extent of his concern to extent is King Edward holding his power of veto in reserve that now he is almost regarded by the inner circles as more the cabinet maker than Mr. Balfour. The king has refrained from expressing any political views or infringing the initiative belonging to the ministers, this has not prevented him from expressing his views. The most to a command, that steps be taken to remedy the scandals in the army administration revealed by the report of the South African war commission and insisting that the new government be adapted to deal with that question. After the long conversations he has had during the last few days at Balmoral with prominent military authorities, the king is said to have expressed his desire to have a record as war secretary was due more to the badness of the system then in vogue than to any defect in Lord Lansdowne's own judgment. King Edward has not shared the keen public opinion of his aunt, Lord Arundon aroused by the report of the South African war commission, and after a minute examination of the circumstances he is understood to have consented to his lordship continuing as foreign minister, and of having some general, notably Lord Kitchener, as head of the war office, has been keenly discussed, but the Associated Press understands that the concensus of opinion would be interpreted as a modified form of military dictatorship, which the public would never sanction. HONDURAS-NICARAGUA WAR Difference is Occasioned By Pittsburgh Firm.

State Department Officials Agree that Canal Treaty is Dead. Washington, Sept. 23.—When the state department closed yesterday at 4 o'clock it was agreed that the Panama canal treaty was ended, although the Colombian congress might take affirmative action upon it. Nothing, however, had been received during the day either from Minister Beaupre at Bogota or from H. Herrera at Bogota, which gave the elightest, hope of a favorable issue. A report is current that the Colombia congress in secret session has clothed President Marraquen with full power to negotiate a treaty. If this report should turn him who is counted a friend of the treaty, could proceed untrammeled by the fear of future reckoning with his congress. In any event, President Roosevelt must now take the next step. He can elect to proceed to the treaty. He can also move Nicaragua route or he can allow matters to drift for the present in the hope that a way may yet be found to straighten out the present difficulties in the path of the Panama route.

Portland Ore, Sept. 25.—The Atlantic Express on the Oregon Railroad & Navigation line, which left here at 8:15 Wednesday night, was held up by four masked men an hour later, near Corbett station, 21 miles east of this city. All of the robbers was shot and killed by Express Messenger Fred Kormer and Engineer Ollie Barrett was seriously wounded by the same bullet. After the shooting, the robbery was stopped. Two of the highwaymen boarded the train at Troutdale, a station 18 miles east of here, and after the train had got under way they crawled over the tender, and, covering the engineer, they got under the car and to stop at mile post 21, which is near Corbett station. When the train slowed down, two more men appeared. Two of the robbers were out of the car and accompany them to the express car, while the others watched the fireman. The men carried several sticks of dynamite and when they came to the baggage car, the express car, threw a stick at the door. Express Messenger Korner heard the explosion and immediately opened fire with his rifle. The bullet pierced the wall of the building, entirely through his body and entering the breast of the engineer, who was just behind him. After the shooting, the other three robbers fed with the blood and poisoned they took to a bost which they had moored at the bank of the river. The point where the hold-up occurred is on the bank of the Columbia River, on the other side of the bank. The easiest route of escape is by the river. The body of the dead robber was lying near the track and the wounded engineer was brought to this city. The Oregon Railroad & Navigation company offers a reward of $1,000 for the arrest of the highwaymen. It is believed that the robbers are amused by the fact that they mistook the baggage car for the express car. The door of the car was badly shattered, but the trucks were not injured. Shortly after the special train bearer the shorts' pose had arrived at the scene of the attempted hold-up one of the gang of outlaws was found a short distance up the track, badly wounded from a charge of buckshot which he had received in the head. The bandit, a special train, which was turned around and headed for Portland. The bandit said his name was James Connors, of Portland, but reused the name of another bandit named one of the other bandits or the direction in which they went. JEWS SIMPLY SLAUGHTERED. Truth About the Most Recent Russian Massacre is Told. New York, Sept. 25. — A Russian correspondent's private letter from Gomel, written September 14, during the anti-Semitic riots, contradicts the Russian opinion of the affair, when the men dispatch to London. It is in part as follows: "The trouble began Friday with a wrangle between the Jewish fish sellers and a Mujik (peasant leading to a murder) who were injured, one Mujik mortally. "Saturday and Sunday anti-Semitic agitators went about exhorting the people not to leave their fellow Christians unavenged. Most of the Jews in the streets were arrested, the shops were closed and the streets were patrolled. One hundred workmen from the railway shops mustered on one of the principal streets Monterey, where Jews were gathered of Jewish houses, which they entered and plundered. A number of Jews who collected in self-defense were turned back by soldiers from the streets. They beat and arrested those not obeying forthwith. "The mob stood by while the plundering mob was committing all sorts of excesses. One could hear the screams of the crowd that the police which patrolled blocked against help from Jews outside. Some Jews tried to force their way down one of the side streets and the soldiers shot six dead. The police never showed them while the troops protected the rioters." Gomel has 25,000 Jews out of a population totaling 40,000. MOST CORN IS SAFE Frosts Fail To Do Great Injury To Crop. Washington, Sept. 23 — The weather bureau's weekly crop bulletin: Notwithstanding the occurrence of light to heavy frosts generally throughout the corn belt, the corn crop has escaped injury, except in the western portions of Kansas and Nebraska, and Iowa, Minnesota, Iowa and Wisconsin. While low temperatures have prevented rapid ripening, especially over the western districts, the crop as a whole has advanced favorably, although the late crop planted in the Ohio valley and Tennessee has suffered from drought. The crop is not as drought-prone but the bulk of the unmatured will require from one to two weeks of favorable weather. Jett Receives Sentence of Death Cynthiana, Ky., Sept. 24—After a trial lasting eight days, the jury in the case of Custie Jett, charged with the murder of Town Marshal Cockrell at Jackson, July 21, 1902, accused of the murder of Jett and fixed the punishment at death. All Hope of Good Results From Turkish Promises Disappear. Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 25.—Notwithstanding reports to the contrary, perfect tranquility, almost approaching apathy, prevails throughout Bulgaria. There is not the slightest outward evidence that country is on the verge of war. Even in military circles there is no excitement, though unceasing preparation is going on. The reports emanating from Turkish quarters that the government is in danger of being carried away by popular excitement, and the Bulgaria is likely to take the first of the steps, may be regarded as a hostile invention. It is, however, a fact that all hope of good results from the Turkish promises of reform has long disappeared, and the feeling is growing that war is the sole solution to the Macedonian problem, the only question being whether it will come this autumn or be postponed until spring. The preparations for mobilization of the Bulgarian army have been carried out with singular completeness as to detail, and a declaration of war will find the Bulgarians sufficiently prepared. The details of atrocities by the Turkish troops in Moasatir daily reaching the Bulgarian government, even exceed those already published. The inaugural general staff in the Monaster vilayet has compiled an elaborate report of events in the district of Kastoria, between August 2 and September 19, where villagers which were plundered. A great number of houses were burned and 512 villagers were killed. The report gives the names, ages and manner of death of the victims. According to information received from the villagers it does not exaggerate and faint represents the situation. According to a telegram receiv here from Kostendit, forty-three mili from Sofa, 600 Turks were killed in fight at Kochani, September 18. After the fight the troops pillaged and burned a number of buildings. SERVIA MAY TAKE A HAND Government May Not Be Able to Restrain Population Constantinople, Sept. 22—The Serbian government's reply to the port's representations says measures have been taken to prevent bands entering Macedonia and that a strong band which was preparing to cross the border from Serbia has been sent. The Serbian reply adds, however, that if the persecution of Christians and the excesses of the Turkish troops continue and serious reforms are not introduced, the government will train the popular aviation in Servia. The unfavorable comment aroused by the appointment of Reshid Pasha, the former vail of Beirut, to be vail of Brussla, which is really a promotional porte in this connection is recorded here as a challenge to the representatives of the powers, especially to the American minister, who, it is thought is likely to protest and may possibly demand Reshid Pasha's recall from the international establishment in that vailet. Reports from Beirut says the appointment of Halim Pasha to be vail of Beirut has caused much disappointment. The inhabitants expected that the president insisted confidence by his conduct when he became acting vail after Reshid Pasha's removal, would be made vail A CRISIS APPROACHES. Question of Peace or War in East Is Nearing Solution Sofia, Bulgaria, Sept. 23—Within forty-eight hours the question of peace or war will probably be settled, according to authoritative opinions here. Premier Petroff had an interview yesterday at which the whole situation in Montenida was discussed. As a result of this conference a much better feeling prevailed and confident hopes are expressed that a satisfactory adjustment has been reached. This view was strengthened by a report to the stantonpe to the effect that the council of ministers after some days' discussion is within measurable distance of an agreement on the chief points at issue. The premier complained to the Turkish diplomatic agent of the situation created by the arrival at Burgas of thousands of destitute and starving refugees from the district of Losengran. After a discussion an underwriter finally reached that Turkey should guarantee the protection of the refugees and take steps to reinstate them in their homes. LESS HOPEFUL FEELING There is, However, No Perceptible Change Noted at Sofia. Sofia, Sept. 22. The unfavorable repre- sents of Austria and Russia to Bulgaria's last note and the fact that none other great powers has yet replied to the allegations that one of the powers is enco- mending military party at Yildiz Klosk, tend to create a less hopeful feeling here. There is, however, no perceptible change in the situation. Various repre- sentations are in force, regarding no negations between Turkey and Bulgaria looking to a solution of the Macedonian difficulty. Prince Alert Smashes Record. New York, Sept. 25. Prince Alert the pacing hero of a hundred race and the champion of a score of half toe tracks, went against the world. In a 1:59, he held by Da- Patch, and beat it most decisively the Empire City track, going the mile in 1:37. The late Phil May once drew a picture of a cricket match, which To-Day says preyed on the mind of Dr. Grace, who afterward raised a protest. On arriving at the office one day, found the following sequence: "Why do we wear separate leg wicket ceypers's gloves?" About two o'clock in the morning the cricket champion was roused out of bed by a special telegraph messenger to moan: "To keep his hands warm.—Phil May."

When Bishop Doane, of Albany, was the rector of an Episcopal church, Hartford, Maryland, he served the services. One Sunday, at the end of the sermon, the humorist said: "Dr. Doane, I enjoyed your sermon this morning. I welcomed it on my behalf." He sat at home containing every word of it. "You have not," said Dr. Doane. "I have so," said the humorist. "Well, send that book to me." He replied. "It twain replied. And he sent the next morning an unabridged dictionary to the rector. As long as the name of James McNeill Whistler lives among those who saw him, it will recall the famous white lock which stood out so conspicuously from the mass of his black hair that "hair well placed," and was always treated from the harmonious point of view, to develop its greatest effect in his appearance. One day, when Dotty Mempes, a painter, and his artist, Mortimer Mempes, was a baby and was asleep on her pillow, Whistler went to see her. A white feather had, by chance, tilted on her head, and lay in a spatially correct headband on her head. "That child is going to develop into something great," he exclaimed, "for, see, she begins with a feather, just like me!" When he was a young man, ex-Premier Salisbury, who died in London, recently, at the age of seventy-three, was extremely delicate. As Lord Robert Cecil, he was overgrown, languid and anguished, with signs of weakness. As soon as he had taken his degree and had been elected to a fellowship at All Souls, his friend and brother Dr. Accland, recommended him to take a long voyage, and to stay abroad, possibly in France. When Dr. Accland came down in hotaste to Oxford, and protested vehemently against Accland's advice, "I wish my son to enter parliament immediately, so you must be good enough to recall your advice, and tell him that he can act." Dr. Accland, Dr. Accland, however, refused, saying: "My dear Lord, there are six thousand practicing physicians in England, and you will have no difficulty in procuring one who will give Lord Robert the advice which you demand, and a man who cannot give it, inasmuch as I have already advised him in the diametrically opposite sense." Of course Accland was obeyed. Lord Robert went to Australia, returned to England with sound lungs, and Salthouse performed a life's work of colossal labor with no untoward results to his health.

BASIS OF THE STATE'S CASE Defense Will Undertake to Show That Baird Is Seeking Revenge—Baird Says Richards Went Back on Promises to Him. Indianola, Sept. 24.—Startling accusation of the most heinous character were hurled at ex-Deputy United States Marshal William A. Richards on trial for the sensational hold-up of the Sullivan family at Hamilton, Jan. 2, yesterday by Convict Frank Baird, who consumed more than an hour in detailing the alleged particulars of the hold-up and naming the man who not only conceived the plot but who helped to carry it into execution. Baird was the first, witness on the stand, the state thus springing a surprise as it was thought he would not testify until later in the week. He told his story in rather a straightforward way, but rupted by the attorneys for the defense who endeavored to prevent the submission of certain damaging facts. Baird's testimony was full of surprises. For the first time since the senatorial robbery at Hamilton when he was accused of hand, the name of a third party has been made known. Baird says it was Charles Redrup, a crook, who formerly lived with him in Plattmouth, Neb., that entered the head of Peter Sullivan, tortured with a gun, lamp to her feet and later took the money from an envelope and escaped through the door. So quiet was it in the court room when Convict Baird took the witness stand that the sound of a pin drop sounded plainly heard. Baird has been guided closely in a cell at the county jail so that it has been impossible for anyone to get at him. He looked neither to the right nor to the left as he slowly and painfully—for he was not a criminal—to the witness stand assisted by Sheriff Hodson. After preliminary questioning by the court the convict witness told his story of the hold-up and the defendant's alleged connection. "I know Bill Richards very well. Have known him for a number of years. I had never been in Hamilton until the night of the robbery. I saw Richards the night before at the courthouse and of pairs leading up to a gambling room. We met by agreement in the gambling room two hours later and in the course of a conversation Richards wanted to know if I wanted to some easy money. I told him 'sure,' was always open to such engagements. "Bill" then told me he knew of a party that had some money from a bank and had it in the house. He had acquainted with the parties and knew it was kept, said he was boarding there and knew all about it. Some one came into the gambling room at the time and I suggested we go over there and we went to my house. I got there half an hour before he came. "We went into the kitchen at my home and there in the presence of my wife and mother and children Richmond and de scheme to rob the Sullivan family daily. He had a piece of paper and pencil and noted just how and when I was to get to Hamilton provided everything was all right. He, in the meantime, had sent Hamilton and see if the coast was clear. "Two telegrams were agreed upon there in the kitchen, in case everything was all right and I was to go to Hamilton Richmond was to send me Thomas Ford-"your man is gone-"Edd. Thomas Ford-"your man is gone-"Edd. "Ford is a crook and also boarded with me at Plattsmouth, Neb. We decided here at my house to take Charleston partners with me. Red-rup suggested that we pretty well armed and Richards turned to him and said: "We will not need a gun. Old man Sullivan will be so scared he will faint when the thing happened, that there was $1,450 in the house and Sullivan had $800 in it in his pocket." "After we had got our plans perfected Richards left for Hamilton. The next day the expected message came in the mail. We were on a clock in the afternoon. We arrived at Albia and remained there for supper after which we went on to manhattan. Richards was at the train to meet us. He did not speak but was there to see if we came. When he saw we were on the train he left and went into a dark part of the city. We followed Richards and told him what should be done. "We walked past the house to see if everything was all right. Redup and I then went down to the Burlingame and came later, there in the closet we could see for stealing the swag from the Sullivan house. Richards was to stand guard outside and Redup and I were into the house and get the booze. "The assertion is made by a naturalist that lightings devour the drones of the booble, but never molest the workers." It is said that Macauyla's memory was so retentive that, after reading a book once, he could give all the all-saint points of it, and recite many long man-made stories. A strange accident befell a boy who was chopping wood near Augsburg, Germany. His ax struck a wire clothesline, and at the same moment a flash of lightning struck the line, passed down the hatchet and killed him. A horse in a wild state lives to be from thirty-six to forty years old; when domesticated he is usually played out at the age of twenty-five. It is thus seen that civilization does not contribute to the longgevity of the antmen. Out West is a man whose residence is in two States, and he votes in both. His dwelling is on the state line, between Sloux county, Neb., and a South Dakota county. When in bed his head is in one state and his feet across the state line. He is a school director in the state, and a school trustee in another. "Richards said he, would go down to Sullivan's and get he boy out of the way. Redrup suggested that he also take the old man, but 'Bull' said the old man and he would walk as well as get that also." At this juncture the false whiskers which Baird wore on the night of the robbery and which he said were furious with the witness. Baird also identified a billy that he had taken with him from Creston at the suggestion, he says, of Richards. A pistol and an ice pick, the latter was shot in to open the door of a bureau in which money was concealed, were also identified by the witness. "After conferring in the closet at the depot, Redrup and I went to the house and the witness, the latter. He wore a white cap, but after the shooting he appeared on the scene with a Scotch cap. We started into the house and Richards on the opposite of the street. "Redrup went in first and ordered the Sullivans to hold up their hands. We lined them up against the wall and locked the door. The money was. They seemed to think it was a joke, but after feeling the muxie of the pistol the woman got scared. Mr. Sullivan said the money was on the machine or on top of the bureau. We looked and there was only a pocket book. We demanded a second time that they produce the money and Mr. Sullivan a slater wanted her to let her retrieve the money from them. This did no good and Redrup then got a lamp and took off Mr. Sullivan's shoot. I held a revolver to her head and heoved her to put her hand on the gun. She told where the money was secret. Redrup pried the drawer open with an ice pick and took the money on." When we came out Richards was still standing guard. We had told the Sullivans to remain inside the house for thirty minutes after we had left. We had not gone beyond the gate. We turned around and told him to door. I turned around and told him not to follow, when the shot was fired. "I next saw Richards in the billiard hall where they took me to dress the wounds. He came running in and said he was an officer and would take care of me. The crowd then felt back and Richards took me into an inside room. He made some remark about it being a bad job." "I told him if he would send $1,000 of the swag to my wife in Creston I would not give him away. He not only promised to do that, but told me she should have all of it." "Richards remained with me in the billiard hall for some time. I was hardly conscious so badly did the wound hurt. It seemed to me that the whole side of my head was shot off. Richards went away after a while and said he would come back with a physician. The next morning Richards came in with a quilt and covered me up." "That was one last time I saw 'Bill' Richards until I saw him at Fort Madison. He came down there to talk about the case. I had been taking quinine and was hard of hearing. I do not know whether the warden overheard our conversation or not." In the cross examination, conducted by Judge Henderson, the defense first centered its attention on exposing a penitentiary convict, his prosecutor having been pushed by Richards, then deputy United States marshal, on the charge of counterfeiting. He has for years been a gambler. His record is notorious. He was seen Richards at the depot in Creston, day after the robbery, and that Redrup was with him. Later he visited her at her home and said that she need not worry, he would take care of her, and she would take care of prison. The state then called Bessie Fuller, Mrs. Baird's daughter by her first husband. Her testimony also corroborated that of her father and mother in essential details. The evidence presented by the state was Tom Murphy, living about a mile north of Hamilton. He had come from Albia on the same train which brought Baird the penitentiary convict and had seen Richards meet the deputy to walk away from the depot with them. Indiana, Sept. 25.—The Richards trial continued yesterday with the taking of testimony for the prosecution. The case looks very black for Richards at present, but the defense succeeded in getting more satisfaction on cross-examination that Wednesday. The principal witnesses of the day were the wife of the husband, E. P. Sullivan, Mr. Sullivan told the story of events at the Sullivan house during the days leading up to and including the robbery and the day after. Although the state had abandoned the theory that Richards was in the house during the killing of house, Sullivan still maintains that he saw defendant in the house that night. The telegram sent to "Ford" at Creston, which was the signal to Baird to come to Hamilton to commit the crime, others signed by Richards, in order to show similarity of writing. The operator who received the dispatch sent to Baird could not positively identify Richards as the man who filed the message. Other witnesses knew of the presence of the money in the house and knew that it would remain there that night.

An easy way of taking castor oil without reducing any nauseating effects is for the patient to wash out his mouth with water as hot as can be, and follow this by rinsing out the mouth well with hot water. The first swallow of the water cleanses the mouth, makes the membranes warm, so that oil does not stick and consequently ships down easily. Two coats of hot oil applied after a thorough cleaning are said to be an improvement over any process now in use. Castor oil can be applied to iron and steel. The oil will fill crevices, cracks, and holes, where paint cannot enter. I would cover rough places often imperfectly coated in ordinary painting, and would be able to create a coating for subsequent painting or covering with cement coating. Chaucey M.

Konat Vesek: — It is not her guests of which soliciting your atten- tion to learn that I now address you and place in your hands the enthusiastic literature. Just at the present time an especial is being made to adhere an amendment to the Constitution the United States prohibiting polygamy. Every patriotic, homeloving, and God-leaving citizen of this liberty loving country is, or should be, in favor of this step. None are more intensely favorable to such a movement than the members of "The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints," and none are doing or have done more for the suppression of polygamy and to eliminate it from the minds of those misguided people who have taught and practiced it in the name of religion. I cannot think it is in the heart of any one who believes in doing unto others as they would be done by to misrepresent any of God's creatures knowingly, yet in the articles written and lectures delivered by many favoring the suppression of polygamy, and an ammendment prohibiting it, we are misrepresented by being classed under the general term, and messnomer, "Mormons," and condemning all "Mormons" under the head of polygamy. Polygamy in America originated with a church organized in 1837 at Kenesville, now Council Bluffs, Ia., with Brigham Young as president, who, when introducing to the church in Utah in 1852 what he claimed was a copy of a revelation from God favoring polygamy' wickedly charged the authorship of this document to Joseph Smith to give it prestage; and because of this claim made by Brigham Young many have been misled and history has been written which time is correcting. The courts of the land have decided that the church organized in 1830, of which "The Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints" is the true muckenhorn, never taught polygamy and that the Book of Mormon condemns it.

I will enjoy the contents of these weapons into my captives and my blood in because of what I cannot to my God given rights. The man who covers my home to take me from it you know like a dog." Dr. K. J. Canye's Address. Dr. K. J. Canye, of Chicago, was the vice president, Mr. Canye and he was sorry to know that Mr. Chappelle held left to catch a train as he wished to catch something in his presence. After beginning the test that the commission failed to suggest some solution of the race problem, Mr. Carey discussed the question as to whether the negro was doing himself justice in allying himself with labor unions. He then began to discuss the alienation, a large number of water and other classes of employee throughout the country had been for them, when immigration employment. Continuing Mr. Carey said: "I, too, was born in the south—in Georgia, a point further south than Nashville, where my friend Chappelle lives, and I think I know as much about the conditions of the southland as he. And right here I want to say that after having lived for five years in the north, I would rather live in a lonely garret in Chicago and breathe the air of a free man than to live in the south is some of the palaces of which my friend Chappelle says some of the colored people of the south possess." The afterterm session of the A. M. E. conference was occupied largely with routine business. An interesting and important phase of the work of the church came under the "dollar money" collection. The Iowa contribution to this fund was $595.25. Chicago district, $1,805.55. B. M. Paul district, $870.90. The per cent of dollar money for the different districts, as compared with the membership, was as follows: Iowa 55, Chicago 51, and St. Paul 54. The showing made by the Iowa district was very gratifying to the bishop, and the Iowa contingent was highly complimented. The following were recommended for inclusion in Edwards, S. L. Birt B. Lowe and A. T. Clark. The committee on fourth year studies recommended Henry W. Jamison of Madison, Wis., for ordination. The three years scholarship at Wilberforce university was vested in S. L. Birt of Chicago. Temperance Favored. The report of the committee on temperance was adopted. It contained 1 the following recommendations: "First—Resolved. That every minister of our church should be a total abstainer, by example as well as procept, oppose intolerance. "Second—That every member of our church should become a member and I engage in work to destroy the influence and power of the liquor traffic by discouraging the social custom of using wines at parties, receptions, etc. and in the home." The Missionary Mite society reappropriated contributions from the different districts for the Chicago $208.09, Phil $269.07, Iowa $159.82, collections $12.61, dues $29.13, Total $780.12. The final event of the afternoon session was the address made by Rv. W. S. Brooks, who is the African delegate to the fourth Sunday school convention of the world, which convenes at Jerusalem next year. --- Boy Without Moral Stamina Will Be a Moral Failure - Money a Tamaror. "When Plain indicted man as a liar without leaders, he made the great sense of judging him solely by his outward appearance," said Dr. Keeling, editor of the A. M. E. Church Series, at the T. M. C. A. "in this later, fallen leader of revealing Christianity we know that the characteristic which distinguished man from the lower animals is purely apt to be a moral character." We might aim in your ideas of good in the one word 'character'. Character is hard to turn to alone. It is made up of what one has been doing all his life. "Men are generally judged by their ability so do things, by the ability to accumulate wealth, by the ability to lead in a political life. But this is a false standard. In a man less of a man because of financial revenge, or because defeated at the hands of his political opponents?" It may be that deep within his own nature there is a struggle going on, which is making him more of a man than he had ever been. He is spending the best of his earnings in spending wealth and saving for worldly honor in putting all of his best efforts on the struggle. He is not neglecting that for which primarily he would love. "I looked upon the beautiful ice palace at 8:30. Paul a few years ago. Isa construction had cost $199,999; it had been planned and supervised by the best architectural talent; available I said to the friend with me: 'How much would you give for that building?' He said: 'I wouldn't give $19 for it. It will not stand when the spring sunshine and the south winds strike it.' You may take a boy and I throw around him all the good influences you please; Christian paren z churches, schools and good companions; but it is all wasted, and be will be a moral failure as soon as he comes in contact with sin, unless he has the enduring power. "One chief element in a perfect manhood is purity. The greatest temptations come in straying from purity of thought and of deed. Of what value are all the good influences and education, if a man becomes imure in his life? On the other hand, I do not think that environment is any excuse for a life of sin. Many a man who has gone to the bad, has tried to excuse himself on the ground that he had not as good surroundings when young as other men had. It is no excuse. "Some men cannot be naturally as great as others, either physically or morally; but there is a way provided whereby each may partake of the shedded blood of Christ and become morally perfect. There are those who do not believe in this doctrine. The fool hath said in his heart, there is no God.' Now, what is a fool? A 'fool' is a nothing, a mere cipher in the progress of the world. The word 'fool' is the most expensive in the English language. The very letters which compose it are a series of ciphers. When you want to write the word, you make a long slim cipher above the line, a long slim fool. Then you make another long slim cipher below the line. Then you make two little broad ciphers, two little fat fools. Then you make another great long slim fool; and there you have the word fool. It is only the fool who denies God in his heart." Dr. Kealing is a graduate of Tabor college. Mr. Joseph Spears received painful injuries Tuesday in Nov. 11 mine. While mining a shot he was caught with falling state and his arm and had badly mashed.
