Northrup, of Oklahoma Farm Journal, Oklahoma City, who was in Chicago recently, is very enthusiastic over present conditions in Oklahoma and Indian Territories. Farmers are prosperous, farm lands are rising in value, and the country is growing rapidly in population. If the two territories are admitted together the new state will have nearly 1,000,000 people. If Oklahoma is admitted alone it will have a larger population than any other state has had at the time of its admission. Nearly everything is grown in Oklahoma—corn, wheat, oats and cotton being the staple products. Cow peas and alfalfa are in great favor with farmers and stockmen. Mr. Northrup claims that Oklahoma is unsurpassed for fruit production. He sums up the advantages of the new applicant for statehood by saying that a good farmer can make money in Oklahoma easier than any other part of the United States.

"You" answered the brothers; "he can do as much work as both of us together." "Very good," replied McNichol. "Send your father around in the morning and you two stay at home."—Philadelphia Ledger.

"The Irish," he said, "have heads of a graceful shape; long and oval, and very large. The American has a head shaped very much like the Irishman's only it is smaller and slightly rounder. "The German has a square head, flat on top and very wide between the ears. A German's hat always looks too big for an arm. It looks so because it is so. In order that it may encompass the head's great breath it must be bought a little too loose in its other dimensions. Some Germans, who are particular, have their hats made very large. I sell hats all over the United States, and I find that heads run big West than anywhere else. The Chicago man has the biggest head in America. The Southern has the smallest. We Easterners—Philadelphia, New Yorkers and Bostonians—all have heads about the same size. That size is on the average 7. The Westerner's size is 7% The Southern's is 6%—Philadelphia Record. GREAT POWER OF TO-DAY. Symbol Means as Much, Though Not Waving Over Armed Men. "I never see the letters S. P. Q. R." observed the professor of history thoughtfully, "without feeling a little thrill of what they once meant to the world. Wherever they were borne over the eagles of the Roman legions the people recognized their masters paid tribute. There is no emblem on the wall in the world to-day corresponding to it." Just then one of the big oil tank wagons, bearing on its sides the famous legend, "Standard Oil Company," came around the corner, at the sight of which the good professor looked as if he would like to modify his last statement. Search for Wrecks in Lake Huron. One of the most thoroughly organized hunts for lost treasure ever attempted on the great lakes is to be made on Lake Huron, where the Milwaukee Wrecking Company is preparing to search for the hulls of seasick ships. The company have chartered the tug Phoenixx of Oscaeda, and, with another vessel to aid her, will seek wealth among the wrecks dotting the lake bottom six or seven miles off the shore. One of the most valuable cargoes is one of copper lost in the early days of lake navigation. Another is of steel ingots, and still another is a cargo of whisky, lost in a schooner bound for Mackinaw many years ago. The Milwaukee concern secured the copper cargo of the steamer Waplow, off Alpena, after it had been in the water nearly forty years. — Chicago Inter Ocean.

Fond of Milk. Bishop Coleman, of Delaware, takes a long walking trip every summer. Usually he goes alone, but on one occasion several gentlemen accompanied him. The party toured the White Mountains. On an August afternoon they stopped, very warm and thirsty, at a farmhouse and bought several quartes of milk. Even now, though, they were unsatisfied, so the farmer's wife fetched from the spring house no less than three gallons of milk in a pail. Setting this before them, she said: "One would think, gentlemen, that you had never been weared."—Detroit News-Tribune. Puts Comfort Before Looks. Secretary of War Root is a firm believer in the idea that a soldier should look the soldier when engaged in military work, but he also realizes that in very hot weather some measure of smart appearance must give way to comfort, so he has practically said: "Bother your uniforms; dress as you please." Indeed, he has set the example for his burean chiefs at the war department by stripping off coat and waistcoat and making himself as nearly comfortable as possible in a becoming colored shirt waist. Probably Knew the Widow. Visits of consolation are not by any means pleasant, and there is no class of men in the world who know it better than minsters of the gospel. They try to be comforting, but it is not always they say just the right thing. "Did the minster say something comforting?" asked the neighbor of a West Philadelphia widow recently bereaved. "Indeed, he did not," was the quick reply. "He said my husband was better off." A Midget Fireman The smallest volunteer fireman in the world is Leopold Kahn, of White Plain, N.

Try To Defeat Fire Escape Law. Do Moines; Oct 8—Senator Trewin of Cedar Rapids has secured the record of what was done, with the fire escape bill in the last legislature previous to its passage. He contends that the bill was never passed at all and that because of technical defects in the escape device, without the enasuring clause and later that was added. The case will come up in connection with the suits for damages on account of the Cedar Rapids fire Mississippi law requires local government to provide for the large amount of water in northern Iowa during the past few years from the same amount of much draining and drainage disruption. J. J. Lillie, a prominent former living near Mackenzie, this county, is taking an active role in the effort to increase the introduction of a bill to force the state legislature the winter asking that a law be passed giving the board of supervisors of each county the power to appoint a commissioner of drainage and other officers who would be permitted to drainm. They shall not the matter as to how much property is benefited, where draining is necessary and all other matters. Mr. J. Lillie has consulted with a large number of prominent politicians in the state to explain the opinion that such a law would be giving too much power in the hands of a few men, who might see fit to use it as they pleased. The residents of Macon County are very accustom to some plan of drainage, and they have more than thousand dollars in draining the country there. Duquesne, Oct. 8—A calligraphy from Rome announces that the congregation of the poppaganda at its November meeting will erect a portion of the sea of Duquesne into a separate diocese. This is taken to mean that there will be another disease of the Catholic church in this state. The Diocese of Saint City, Duquesne, Omaha, Lincoln and Cheyenne. It is most unlikely that any of the western diseases are to be divided and the supposition is that the Duquesnort disease is to be divided. In that errant Des Moines will undoubtedly be made a bishop for some time, and it is understood Rome has decided to grant their request. Des Moines will be made the bishop for some time, although there are many of the opinion that Council Stucco would be a more acceptable see city. Weatherby Residence Only Building Excavation Deion.

MAKES CHARGE OF CORRUPTION. Resident of Pottawatishia County. Makes Charries Against Officials. Council Bills, Oct. 7—Brand and corruption is charged against the drainage ditch contractors and the county auditors by an amended petition just filed in the Logan Crawford district. The county legislature argues that the action of Auditor Lances of Pottawattamie county and Auditor Huff of Harrison county in letting the ditch contracts to R. A. Brown & Co. and Walter A. Smith is "frandulent" and unlawful, on the part of the contractors and the auditors whereby the taxpayers will be forced to pay over $6,000 more than was actually bid for the said work, and that there was corrupt fraud in letting the contracts."

Des Modes, Oct. 1.—The state board of control at Konville at Konville erected for the industrial house for the blind, be made use of to house the state reformatory for women, now located by law at Anamosa penitentiary, but in the state are standing there idle representing an investment of about $600,000. Chairman Cowlade says they are admirably adapted for the areas of the reformatory, the legislature, and not provide the funds to start it, and the district judges refused to send women to the reformatory to long as it is a part of the state penitentiary. "There is very great need for a reevaluation of the situation." At present, there is nothing that can be done with a present large class of women who might be reformed, but who cannot be sent to the military. They are accepted at Mitchellville, and yet there are many between 16 and 20 who ought to be in some institution, and not be allowed to go free to stalk women and be to carry others with them." The buildings at Knoxville are good and have been well cared for. They are not adapted to any other purpose than a reformatory. The board will strongly urge they be used by the state for something. TRACK LAYERS FIGHT. Every Vein in One main's Wrist is Revered. Waverly, Oct. 6.—One of the worst stabbing affrays that ever occurred in this community took place on Main street near the creamy supply. James Murphy and O'Brien, James Murphy and Edward Western and have been engaged in laying track on the Waverly-Ogden cut-off. Up to the moment the affair occurred, the two men were fart friends. The whole difficulty arose over a common knife valued at forty cents. The knife in question was one wristband who bunked together used in shaving each other, and was consequently as sharp as a razor. Murphy had the knife and O'Brien asked leave to take it. Upon being answered in the negative, a fight ensued, in which a desperate wound was inflicted in O'Brien's left wrist. Every important vein and artery was dislaced. The man was unconscious from loss of blood before he reached a doctor's office, one block away. At the preliminary hearing, Murphy waived examination and was bound over to the grand jury on the charge of assault with intent to do great bodily harm. In default of ball, he is now lying in the county jail. He is about 26 years old, and blames "booze" for all his troubles. He is about 26 years of age, while his victim is nearly 40. Both men are said to be non-residents of the state. WILL ASK FOR COLORADO LAW. Dea Moisea, Oct. 6- At a meeting of the executive committee of the Humane Society it was decided to take before the coming legislature a bill asking for the formation of a bureau much on the plan of the law which has been working in Colorado for the past two years. It is believed by the committee that the work belongs to the state officers and the society. In Colorado the state society was made the bureau, but some of the state officers were made ex-officio directors of the society. The bureau has agents in every locality and children in every county and are treated are looked after, as are also animals. It is probable that a meeting of the directors will be called soon to take up the matter on the recommendation of the executive committee and pointed to take the matter before the state assembly next January and secure if possible the passage of the law. It is believed that such a law would be the formation of the maternity hospitals which are run by private parties and without supervision of any kind. Shot Himself Accidentally.

Paris, Oct. 3.—Official information received here shows that a formidable Russian fleet, comprising ninety warships of all classes, has left Port Ariston and has arrived at Ma-Sa-Pho, south of Korea, where the Japanese fleet has already arrived. The Russian ships have anchored within the Ma-Sa-Pho harbor alongside the Japanese ships. Several brigades have been forwarded to the Korean boundary, and are now encamped on the border. Djinnatic negotiations are still progressing at Tolise. These do not relate to the evacuation of Munich, nor to troop, but to the future of Korea. The Patricia in a special dispatch from Darmstadt, gives an interview with Alexander Sarkind, the secretary of Foreign Minister, on the authority of his child upon Russo-Japanese relations. M. Sarkind is quoted as saying: "Our agents at Tokyo have informed us that Japan desires war and is preparing for it. We have informed us that Shiba is to resist all the Japanese forces." Regarding Turkey and Bulgaria, M. Sarkind said that the accord between Russia and Austria was stronger than ever, and that he did not believe that the accord would occur London, Oct. 9. "The foreign office informs the Associated Press it has heard nothing of the reported gathering of Russian war ships at Ma-Sa-Pho. The foreign office retaliates against the violation of the possibility of a Russian-Japanese outbreak. TREATY WITH CHINA SIGNED. Means the Settlement of Long-Vexed Questions. Washington, Oct. 9—The state department was informed yesterday that the American-Chinese commercial treaty has been signed, and the American-Chinese treaty would be signed, yesterday afternoon. The cablegram announcing the signing of the treaty was sent from Shanghai and was signed by Minister Conger, Consul General Goodnow and Mr. Nguyen Phuong, negotiated the instrument. An imperial decree by the Chinese government has made the treaty effective so far as that government is concerned, but it must be ratified by the United States, before it can be changed and the treaty put in operation. Great satisfaction is expressed at the state department at the outcome, as it makes certain that the two ports in Manchuria will be opened to the foreigner. The outcome as to the negotiations for the evacuation of that territory by Russia may be. The assurances that Russia has previously given, and to which this government would insist upon the evacuation of the ports made with China covering Manchurian ports will be binding upon the Russian government. The principal points of the treaty are briefly as follows: First—Settlement of the long-vested question. Second—Recognition of America's right of residence throughout the empire for missionary work. Third—Protection of patents, trademarks and copyrights. Fourth—Protection of mining rights. Third—Opening of new localities to international trade in the part of the empire in which the United States has vast commercial interests. Sixth—Right to carry on trade, industries and manufactures in all parts of China. JAPAN IS PREPARED. Army and Navy Both Ready With Large Supplies at Hand. Yokohama, Oct. 7. With the approach of October 8, the nominal date for Russia's evacuation of Manchuria, for example, has the impolite name Japanese populace, but is diplomatic circles it is reaffirmed that hopefulness prevails of an amicable settlement of the imbroglio between Russia and Japan on the basis of minor concessions by Russia in Korea and Manchuria, though officials do not profess that the evacuation of Manchuria will be effected on the exact date named. Baron von Rosen, the Russian minister to Japan, has returned here from a conference with Viceroy Alexieff at Port Arthur, and had a short conference with the Japanese foreign minister on October Baron Komura has since given out a hopeful interview, but the Japanese ministers for war and navy thereafter had long conferences with the emperor Marquis ito, president of the French Republic, the premier, indicating that preparations are going on to meet any eventuality. The fleet and the army are both without question in readiness, and large supplies for both the army and the navy have been accumulated. The arsenals have been work for a long time past, and the defenses have been minutely inspected. Popular feeling in Japan is exasperated at Russia's diary tactics, and the excitement has been aggravated by the country's highly circumsulting rumors of fresh Russiangressions. Many of these are of the most circumstantial character and are calculated to inflame public opinion. The officials depreciate these reports, and the press uses some quarters emanate from Russian with the object of forcing Japan's hand. Steel Trust Cuts Dividend. New York, Oct. 8—The dividend on the common stock of the United States Steel corporation for the last quarter was reduced from 1 per cent to one-half of 1 per cent, thus set a new record.

FAST FIELD FOOTBALL JAPAN REJECTS RUSSIAN PROPOSAL Declines to Participate in a Scheme to Partition Korea Between Them. London, Oct. 8. The correspondent of the Daily Mail at Kobe, Japan, telegraphs that Baron von Rosen on October 4 presented a note to Japanese government contending that Japan had no right to interfere in the question of the creation of Manchuria, the solemnly concerned Russia and China. The note further proposed that the partition of Korea and suggested that Japan should take the southern half and Russia the northern northwest. The note was discussed by a council of ministers October 5, and Marquis Yamagata, commissioned, consulted with the ministers of war and marine. The Japanese government, adds the correspondent, then sent a reply to Baron von Rosen rejecting the Russian prosecution. A crisis is possible at any moment. Washington, Oct. 8.—The state department has not received direct confirmation of the Associated Press information from Yokohama to the effect that Russia will decline to ever send the news, and would not be surprised to receive such confirmation at any time from Minister Conger. They say they are fully prepared to believe the news that Russia has served notice on China that as they will not evacuate Manchuria, the Russian government granted. Exactly what these demands are no official of the state department is prepared to say, but the belief is strong that they are practically the same as those reported by the Associated Press from Peking last week. Russia foreign office. It was told said the highest authority that his government had reason to believe that Russia was insisting on the very demands that Count Lamdorff assured Ambassador McCormick had never been received, and which Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador, wouldary Hay were merely presented as a basis of negotiation. It was stated by the same authority that this government will not feel called upon to enter protest against Russia's action so long as our commercial treaty, which is to be signed two ports in Manchez promised by Russia remain open to the world's commerce. DESPERADO KILLS TWO Officers Were Attempting to Place Him Under Arrest. Portland, Ore, Oct. 8—A special to the Oregonian from Burns, Ore, says: In an attempt to escape a prisoner named John Frost, alias Harry Egbert, wanted in Douglas county for burglar, John G. Saxton, who Burgs, who was acting as special deputy sheriff, and Jack West, a rancher, were both killed by Egbert. They came upon Egbert in a ranch house in a valley thirteen miles south of Portland in a house alone in the house. It is supposed Egbert recognized Saxton and West as they came up and opened fire from behind a corner of the building. West alone in the house. It is supposed Egbert then went in the house, followed by Saxton, the woman in the meantime having fled. Egbert had a rifle and Saxton a revolver, and caps it is believed they fired at each other through a thin board partition. Saxton was shot through the shoulder, but kept up the battle by using the revolver in his left hand. Egbert, but kept the fight the right foot hot, fed up stairs, and juncture seems to have gone in answer to a call for water from West, for he left the house and made two trips to a spring. A way from West, he too, was shot and mortally wounded. Egbert then made his way to a trunk five miles distant, where he demanded a horse at the point of a gun. He has not been seen since. The county officer offered a reward of $200 for his capture. PLANS GREAT NEGRO STATE. "Emperor of Sahara" Would People Enlarged Liberia from America Enlarged Liberia From America.

Fifteen New Indictments Returned to the District Supreme Court. JAMES N. TYNER IN THE LIST Late Assistant Attorney General of the Postoffice Department Charged With Conspiracy - Metcafet Again Indicted. Washington, Oct. 6.—Fifteen new indictments were brought into the supreme court for the District of Columbia yesterday as the final result of the investigation of the postoffice department. Many of these findings were against persons who have already been indicted. The indictments involve: James N. Tyner, the late assistant attorney general for the postoffice department. Harrison J. Barrett, assistant to Mr. Tyner. James T. Metcalf, superintendent of the money order system of the post-office department. Norman Metcalf, son of James T. Harry C. Hallenback, president and general manager of the Wynkoop, company of New York, the firm which for several years supplied the department with its money order blanks. William D. Doremus, who is consultant to the company, which has been supplying a stamp canceling machine to the department. There were additional indictments against August W. Machen, former superintendent of free delivery; George W. Beavers, former chief of the salary allowance division; W. Scott, former sub-tenant of the Washington city postoffice, and State Senator George A. Green of New York. In some cases there were several indictments against one person. Concerning the indictment against Tner and Barrett, a statement was made by the postoffice defendant which says in part, "Three indictments in part." Three indictments and two additional indictments charge Barrett with agreeing, while in office, to receive fees for services rendered or to be rendered in cases pending before him as an officer. All the indictments are founded upon the treatment by the so-called bond investment companies." The statement then cites the duty of Tyner and Barrett to investigate the operations of this concern and report to the department so that in case of any problems, they should not but instead of doing this they "compired to give them unobstructed use of the mails in order that Barrett might profit thereby." It is also alleged that Barrett entered into an agreement with Tyner, the object of which was to share in the profits arising from representing bond investment concerns before the postoffice department that: "in pursuance of a conspiracy with Tyner, Barrett entered into an agreement with Tyner that this report declared the business in its existing form to be illegal and not entitled to use of the mails, but that its basic principle was that the business was made so as to be legal; that Tyner Barrett procured the signature of the postmaster-general to a letter written by Barrett, stating that a reasonable time would be given to those companies for making over their business during that period, the mails could not be interrupted." Continuing, the statement says this opinion was printed at government expense and sent to every known company with a circular letter to each stating that the business of the company was illegal; that at about the time of the complaint the company an announcement that he had resigned his position and entered into a partnership for the practice of law. The purpose of the conspiracy is alleged to be the sending of business to Barrett's firm. In pursuance of this conspiracy it is alleged that Tyrer and his associates have new contracts submitted prior to the time that Barrett retired except for the one or two services. "The indictments," says the statement, "cite specific cases in which Barrett, while still in office, sought to receive fees, or in which former Barrett was acquitted. Tyler referred clients to him and approved new contracts at his suggestion without even reading them over." Convict - Nearly Gains. Liberty. San Quentin Prison, Cal., Oct. 9.

To Attribute Coffee His to Poor Grades of Coffee. Many people lay all the blame for the diseases caused by coffee upon the poorer grades of coffee but this is an error as the following proves: "I have used every kind of the best grade of tea and coffee that can be got from a first class grocer but never found one that was not up to date until I began to drink Postum Food Coffee in place of coffee and tea that I had relief from the terrific attacks of nervous sick headache from which I ked suffered for 30 years. "I had tried all kinds of medicines but none helped me. "Soon after I stopped drinking coffee and began to drink Postum the headaches grew less and it was not long until I was entirely cured and I have never had a return of this distressing trouble for nowadays I never drink coffee but stick to Postum. "As soon as my wife saw what Postum had done for me, she shook her drank all her life. This was sk儿 weeks ago and she is a changed woman, for her nervousness has all disappeared and her face has become smooth and her cheeks have a good rosy red color. She sleeps well, too, something she could never do while she drank coffee.

(SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE) THE BACK OF THE BACK THE TREE "El Ruki; Jerusalem!" exclaims the deep guttural voice of the Turkish guard as the train, puffing and shrieking, brings the tourist of to-day into the little modern-looking depot of the city, where he is caught in realising that he has arrived at the goal of his desire, the Holy City, for he is hastily driven over a Abraha dusty road to the hotel, which is situated in the midst of modern buildings. The romance with which we have clothed this country is largely taken from it when one's meditations are rudely interrupted, on approaching the gates of the city, by the shrill whistle of the engine, which comes as a jarring element in a land so sacred to us by its solemn memories.

Starting from Jaffa, mounted on strong Arab houses, in the cool of the morning, we passed through its beautiful gardens, orange groves and corn fields, and entered the Plain of Phillistia, "the land of the stranger." Then we reached the Plain of Sharon, radiant with fields of scarlet anemones and innumerable other wild flowers. The red anemones are considered by the natives to be the lilies of the field of which Christ said that "even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these." At noon we dismounted and stopped at a wayside house house beside a fountain. The natives came around us, asking many questions. "Are you a man cr a woman?" "Are you married—is this your son?" We were interested in handling a baby dressed in the Scriptural swaddling clothes. It was bound so tightly that it could not move at all, and Abraham looked like a wee man may. On its cap were attached many coins, and queer relics to "keep away the evil eye." We passed through a low, undulating country called in Scripture "Shephelah, the low country." In old days the village of Mintwood stood here, where Sammon sought a wife where, in one of the vineyards, he had the wonderful victory over a lion. In these fields he led the fire-branded foxes to destroy the corn of the Philistines. Beyond could be seen Zoreh, his birthplace, and yet further was the valley of Zoreh, where Dellah, his treacherous wife, lived. Latroon was also of traditional lineage—the Dames of the Maccaes, and some think the home of the penitent thief Dismas. In the distance before us rose the hills of Judae, towering to a height of 2,000 to 3,000 feet above the land of Philistia. We reached Ramlet late in the afternoon. Surrounded by tall, slender palms and olive trees, and in the midst of a sandy, barren plain, the village of Ramlet is a picturesque gasa. am's Well. with its tall tower rising above the white houses. Some people think that the village stands on the site of the old Aramathea, where Joseph lived. The Tower of Ramlet, called that of the Fort Martyrs, is of Saracenic architecture. The Moslem claim that the "forty," were companions of the Prophet. Beside the tower stands the ruined remains of the "White Mosque," built in the fourteenth century by the son of Kalaum. The view from the tower is magnificent. The whole plain of Sharon, with its fresh verdure and beautiful bright colors glowing in the sunshine, stretches out as far as eye can reach, from Mount Carmel on the north to the purple hills of Judea on the south, to the blue Mediterranean sea on the west. We passed Lydda, where Peter cured Aeneas. A legend tells that St. George was born in this town, and was buried in the church, which still stands. A picture represents his conflict with the dragon, and his rince and finger bone are exhibited in a silver casket. Soon after leaving Lydda we came to the rocky and ascending road which, winding in and out among bleak mountains, leads to the village of Beth-Horon. The stony path is surrounded by barren wastes, devoid of trees, yet bedecked with many gay flowerets, peeping from the crevices in the rocks. Turning our eyes toward the cast, um's Oak. we saw a landscape that was also grand, though desolate. For miles the scenery presented nothing but dark hills and valleys, till our gaze rested upon the silvery waters of the Dead sea, beautiful in the glistening light of the pale moon. This sea lay three thousand times humbled foot below, but in the clear, bright atmosphere of the Orient it seemed to be quite bear, notwithstanding the miles of unqualing country which separated us from it. We gazed on its wonderful beauty, and then again on the city before us, and we were filled with joy at the thought that in a few hours we would be within the walls of Jerusalem, and our beasts would recoil the joyful song of the psalmist, "Our feet stand within thy gates, O Jerusalem." are far ahead of the old fashioned Dysas is electricity in a Rum light candle.

The forest is not entirely composed of camphor trees, but contains a number of trees, including an abundance of "red-grained" oak. Easy to Get. Pierpoint, O. Oct. 5th—Remarkable indeed is the experience of Mr. A. S. Turner, a man now over seventy one years of age, and whose home is here. For many years this old gentleman had suffered with a very unpleasant form of Kidney Trouble, a kind that very often bothers aged people. He would have to get up four or five times every night, and this very tiresome disease was fast wearing him out. At last after having almost made up his mind that he would never be able to get relief, he stumbled over almost immediately, and has cured him persevered, and has very easy to get and so simple that he has thought everyone should know of it. Everyone in the country has it, and all you have to do is to ask for Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr. Turner says:—"I can heartily and honestly recommend Dodd's Kidney Pills for they cured me. Several others in the family have used them too, and always with the best results. I think they have no equal." Every effort will be made by the company patrons.

At the lotus days of summer are past and the maple and beech of our forest put on scarlet and gold, and the activities of clad life are, are renewed, it gives me great joy to send affectionate greeting to the clubs of the Iowa State Federation of Afro-American Women. During the past year the results of our work have been very encouraging. May the coming year be rich in opportunity, may it be most abundant in frutage and may it give to each one who fabors the sweet consciousness of siding in broadening and strengthening the grand work which the Federation is attiving to accomplish. What visions rise before me of the might of this gracious fellowship and influence as representing the highest ideals and therefore the noblest action. Oh ye Afro American women, awake and realise that an elevated and improved condition of the race rests on us. That if we had more high womanhood we would have less low manhood. That in the solution of this race problem we may show ourselves a strong factor, by establishing higher ideals of culture and conteracting this lack of knowledge of the Nogro'n real status.

At the beginning of the second season of our federation existence, I am glad to use this courteously offered medium to remind you that club extension demands our best efforts this year.

Peace and joy in well doing be yours, dear The Good Intent Club of Ottumwa, start the season with brightest idea of culture yet established. They have set a part a day on their calendar for the work of each standing committee of the Generation. They are endeavoring to establish higher ideals of culture, by having a course of lectures and thus showing that as much money can be raised by classical entertainments, as there can be by "old folk concerts, jubilee concerts, dramas, etc." in which we are disgrazing ourselves and sowing seeds of immorality that will germinate to our homes dishonor. They are not only endeavoring to establish higher ideals of culture, but expect to encourage the talented young people, give them press notice, that the more favored race may see that towns possess some educated Negroes. Tuesday September 29 was Educational day, Attorney S. Joe Brown lectured, his subject was "Constitutional disfranchisement; its evils and its remedies." His lecture was full of deep thought, was listened to with close attention and was followed by prolonged applause. The lecture was extensively advertised and many white faces were seen in the audience. Attorney Woodson was present gave a few witty remarks and was hardly applauded. The entertainment was an overwhole audience, intellectually and financially and the fact was clearly demonstrated that as much money can be raised by classical entertainment as can be raised by musical entertainment.

USE OF CAVALRY IN WAR Military Authorities Agree on Value of This Arm. All military authorities on the continent are of one rind as to the immense advantage which will accrue to the power which, at the outset of a war, can most quickly place in the field a superior force of efficient mounted troops. One result of this belief is the extreme care with which each of the great military powers of the continent watches the strength and distribution of the cavalry of its neighbors. At the present moment some disquietude exists in the Triple Alliance, because the cavalry of the Double Alliance has become superior, numerically, to their own. In the field of France France would in the field 327 squadrons and Russia 711; or the two allies together 1,038 squadrons, while a Triple Alliances could only muster 746 squadrons, or 322 squadrons less than the Double Alliance.
