Life is such a serious business with the average mortal that an opportunity for a hearty laugh is more than welcome to most people. "A merry heart dooth good like a medicine," and so do the humorous features of the great metropolitan daily, The Chicago Record-Herald. The first thing that greets you on the first page of every issue is humorous cartoon by Balph Wilder, the well-known artist, that frequently tells more at a glance than could be conveyed in a column of reading matter. Every issue contains also a humorous small story on the editorial page and the "Alternating Currents" column, written by S. E. Kiser, one of the most popular humorous writers in the country. In addition to all these, the Sunday issue always includes a comic section, guaranteed to produce laughter. A BIRTHDAY BURPRISE PARTY. It is very unusual that one member of a family can plan and arrange a party for ano: her member of the same family without their knowledge, especially on one's birthday, yet the good wife of Mr. R. N. Hye, assisted by her children, planned a birthday surprise party on her husband last year. Mr. Hye invited about thirty gentlemen friends of Mr. Hye's to their home at 8 o'clock. Nearly all compiled with their presence. Then Mrs. Hyde telephoned her husband that there was a man at the house waiting for him to come up and figure on a big carpet job. He left his door open to his house and walked in, to behold his house full of his associates. To say that he was surprised was a mild term. He was compelled to put his horse up and stay awhile. A very pleasant and enjoyable time goes without saying. Mr. Henry Clay in a neat speech broke the chair as a token of remembrance, then elected him mayor of Des Moines and called J. L. Thompson to read a list of the appointed officers that the must appoint. Miss Gertrude Hye presented a beautiful smoker's ash-mug; a box of cigars that Brennan had bought; a candle that Brennan had bought; a catherigar holder. Mr. Hye has passed 49 summers and spent twenty-five years of that time in this city, and by his earnest hard struggle has succeeded and gained the esteem of all good citizens, irrespective of color. It is indeed a pleasure and a consolation when a man comes to the reception and relates the response. His wife and three daughters served an elegant four-course luncheon. They made it so pleasant for the guests. At a late hour all left, wishing Mr. Hye many more such happy holidays. the Distance Bell test Dr. Charles Hose, of Sarawak, after many experiments, has formed the theory that the disease bert berl arises in tropical regions from the conspulsion of moldy rice. Dr. Strange ways Pigg of Cambridge has expounded the theory in England. STATE BYSTANDER. EDITORIALS. TWO SENT TO JAIL For Disturbing Booker Washington's Meeting. Last week Messrs. Henry M. Trotter, editor of The Boston Guardian, Granville Martin and Bernard Martin, after a hotly contested trial, the latter was acquitted but the jury found the other two men guilty of disturbing or assisting in disturbing a meeting last July, in which Booker T. Washington was addressing. While we, living at this distance, do not know the real facts, neither do we wish to enter either side, but the disturbance was to be much regretted, yet we think in a free country like ours any man has a right to ask questions or even disagree and express his thoughts without censure. The questions that they wished to ask that night are as follows: So read them and judge for yourself. 1. In your letter to Montgomery Advertiser Nov. 27 you said: "Every revised constitution throughout the southern states has put a premium, up intelligence, ownership of property, thrift and character." Did you not thereby indorse the disfairishment of our race? 2. In your speech before the Century club here in March you said: "Those are most truly free who have passed the most discipline." Are you not actually upholding oppressing our race as a good thing for us, advocating peonage? 3. Again, you say: "Black men must distinguish between the freedom that is forced and the freedom that in the result of struggle and sel-sarifice." Do you mean that the Negro should expect less from his freedom than the white man from his? 4. When you said: "It was not so important whether the Negro was in the interior car as whether there was in that car a superior man not a beast," did you not minimize the outrage of the insulting Jim-crow car discrimination and justify it by the "bestiality" of the Negro. 5. In an interview with the Washington Post, June 25, as to whether the Negro should insist on his ballot, you are quoted as saying: "As is well known, I held that no people in the same economic and educational condition as the masses of the black people of the south should make politics a matter of the first importance in connection with their development." Do you not know that the ballot is the only self-protection for any class of people in this county? 6. In view of the fact that you are understood to be unwilling to insist upon the Negro having his every right (both civic and political), would it not be a calamity at this juncture to make you our leader? 7. Don't you know you would help the race more by exposing the new form of slavery just outside the gates of Tuskegee than by preaching submission. 8. Can a man make a successful educator and politician at the same time? 9. Are the rope and the torch all the race is to get under your leadership? REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES. As the time to hold our annual election is only a few weeks off, which is Tuesday Nov. 3, it becomes our duty to inform the voter of the time and to urge upon him the necessity of exercising his franchise. In a democratic form of government the people are the sovereign power and the expression of their will is usually carried out; therefore it is the plain duty of each qualified elector to exercise this privilege granted him, that is why we hold an election each year to ascertain the wish of a majority of the people; hence every loyal and good citizen owes it to the government to go to the polls and express his sovereign power. This year as of usual years the two old parties are asking your suffrage. It is your duty to ask the reason for supporting one party in preference of the other; to ascertain the principles of each party and to read the past history of both parties. Study the times and condition of affairs under each party when they were in power, then with your honest, free, unbiased judgment choose the party that has done the most to develop and advance our country. To my mind there could be but one answer. Experience is a dear school, but having gone through that school we should not knowingly jump into the fire again. The Republican party's history and principles are so well known to everyman that it would be useless to produce them. If you, Mr. voter like prosperity, business activity in all lines of industry, if you like plenty of money and plenty of work to earn the money the road is plain to vote for the for the Republican principles and let us advance our country another notch higher. NEGROES ARE OPERATING STREET CAR LINE. Jacksonville, Fla. Oct. 5—The new street car line that has been building by the colored people here for some time started operation last week. The road was surveyed and built by a colored civil engineer and will be operated by colored motormen and conductors. This colored street car line is the outgrowth of the boycott of a year ago and it only demonstrated what Negroes can do when money, brains and energy are united. The road is a fine one and has an excellent roadbed and the steel rails are of the new sixty and seventy pound variety. The electric line of street cars run and controlled solely by colored business men of Jacksonville, is now in operation. The Company is the result of the enterprising colored people. The new road begins at the corner of Bay and Clay streets, runs north on Clay to State, and thence to the King's Road. to Durkee's shell road, to the city limits—Ex. JOHN FISHER For Supervisor. ```markdown ``` The above cut is a true likeness of Mr. John Fisher, who is a highly respected and well known pioneer of Polk county. He is a candidate of for Supervisor of the Fifth Supervisor district; was born in Indiana in 1835, came to Iowa in 1849 and to Walnut township, Polk county in 1860, settling on a farm where he has since remained, and by hard work, honest dealing and judicious management he has succeeded in life. He has held the office of Justice of the Peace of Walnut township for eleven years, and later his friends called him higher. He than was elected Supervisor and served as a member of the board for six years, being the only democart on the board. By his careful attention to the county's interest and his wise management he made a very valuable member; always watching the interest of the people as he did his own business. He was on the board during the small-pox period in this county and he was friendly to the small-pox suffers at the mines and elsewhere. Mr. Fisher did not seek this nomination, but his party and friends forced him to accept. The last time he was elected he received 237 majority over the republican candidate. He is a good citizen worthy of consideration, and no doubt if elected would as he has done in the past work to the interest of his district and Polk county. ANOTHER NEW PAPER IN THE HAWKEYE STATE As was announced sometime ago there was soon to be another colored paper started in Iowa, and last week volume 1, number 2 of the Buxton Gazette reached The Upliftment of a Race AWord to the Public Mrs. Mary L.

Good home cooking, which insures good meals. A trial will convince you. The following able paper was read by Mrs. A. G. Edwards of 764 West Ninth street, a cultured colored woman, before the missionary society, of the United Presbyterian church of this city: Ladies, Tie with feelings of pleasure and gratitude that I address you this afternoon. I come to you from an institution supported by the sacrilege and philanthropy of the United Presbyterian church, and all that I am, however little it be, I owe to Knoxville college. Entering the Little Girls' Home at eight years old, I knew no other home until six years ago, when I was married. 'Tis then with gratitude indeed that I meet each one of you, and I am grateful to you to do your part in uplifting the most despised, the most misrepresented, the most misunderstood race in the world. I want to speak to you somewhat of the needs of the Negro and of how those needs are met by such schools as Knoxville college. The intellectual development of the race is no longer a question. In 1985 the four million freemen had no knowledge of letters, but northern philanthrophes had letters, and northern philanthrophes had寄� have sacrificed home and friends and goug south and endured the contempt of being a "gigher teacher," and as a result, the percentage of ignorance among us is largely reduced. Each year the number of college students in the United States is patent Negro men and women in every vocation in life. But three, in comparison with those who are unlearned, are few. In the Black Belt, where the missions of Knoxville college are stationed, the number of students who are able to do a field for great work and earnest effort. The race needs the intellectual culture, so imperative to the life of a people. One has said, "What we need more than anything else is to increase the number of thoroughly going students who are able to carry with them, consciously or not, the seeds of sounder thinking and higher ideas." I believe that the shortest path in the development of the colored people is the more perfect development of their intellect, for this is the thrift, economy and a high moral life. Industrial training also meets a great need. The negro does for pittiful sums the labor of the south. He is not Shiftless, unambitious and lary as Rev. Kuild unassuming, and lary as Rev. Kuild has only to visit the South and glance at the "darkies" in the fields, on public works, in the kitchens, in fact every place where there is hard work and little money, to be convinced that the black man is the prime factor in the building up of that place. We must labor their work is not the outcomes of the knowing mind and trained hard. Industrial training is the complement to the intellectual training, without the former the latter is complete. While we want men and women in the professions, we must labor with them, and must labor with their hands, and to compete with other men they must be taught to labor intelligently, economize and accumulate. Most of our schools and colleges carry along with the literary course, an industrial student is required to devote a part of each day, learning some craft or trade. As to our moral needs: Senator Tillman, John Temple Graves, Rev. Guild and others, seeking notriety, declare we have no "moral fibre," and make our case appear almost hopeless along this line. We know that many of the black faces have faded into those of malnutrition; we know there is great need of more noble women to be educated and what is so much lacking among us, refined, intelligent, Christian homes. Why these conditions? Is the Negro woman to bear the blame? our office, published in Buxton, Iowa. It is a six column, 4 page edition, with some good reading matter.

It is a source of pleasure to the BYSTANDER that we note the general interest this year manifested among the parents of our city to have their children receive a higher education, or at least the benefit of our public High Schools. From the increase number that has entered our High Schools the last week is encouraging, and parents should strive to at least give their children the benefit of a High School education, which will the more enable them to better earn a living and meet the needs of this age. Heretofore parents have neglected, in For more than 200 years she was given no chance for delicate reserve or modesty. From childhood she was the victim of the greatest passion. All the time she was the home life was of the most degrading nature. She became the mother of children of both her mute and master. Through some auction sale she was apt to be separated from her children and others. The children were not her own, but her master's property. For her there was no sanctity of marriage, no abhorrence if illegitimate, no understanding affections of home. These fundamental virtues of her family have been no greatly lost to us by the curse of slavery. Well we may say "The evil man do lives after them." The white man of the South, with the deepest sentimental abhorrence of ants, has been the most colored woman in to be perpetually the victim of his inst; today she is followed, tempted with his gold and insulted by the Southern gentlemen who think "black men right" and white men soigne, regard and black women virtue which white men should respect." But the moral conditions of the Negro is rapidly improving. The noble philanthropy of the North has reached and is reaching this one of the greatest needs in the world. The Negro is the legace, which they have established, the freemen are receiving the highest moral culture. The moral condition of any race can be measured only by the moral status of its women. The more hope that the Negro is in womanhood the more she is uplifted. Our girls are receiving classical, industrial and Christian training in these institutions and these sacred influences are encompassing a million heartstones, and the humble huts are being restored to the Christian 'renewment and domestic elegance.' One of the noteworthy features of Knoxville college, and I suppose the same is true of all the schools established for the freemen, is what might be termed, the inner or home life of the school. At Knoxville, the school is something suggestive of an ideal home. The humbleest student is almost welcomed; no one in real need is ever turned away. The students feel that they can take their burdens, cares and needs to their teachers and know that they have their sympathy and that they can help them. Theistance they can give. No one can establish the paths that have been straightened, the burdens that have been lightened, the lives that have been purified and beautified, the souls that have been saved. The aim is to teach them how to live in a culture of cultured, Christian life is taught by cultured Christian men and women and no man can measure the good they do. The colored people are under an everlasting debt of gratitude to the good people of the North, who are doing so much to the lights of intelligence and Christianity. Notwithstanding the hindernances of prejudice, the denial of civil rights and other discouragements, the thoughtful Negro is hopeful. He knows that the laws of this land are intended to give him an equal part in the industrial, political, cultural and administrative life; he knows that those who would denounce the doors of opportunity in his face are not the representative people of this country; he knows that "All men are created equal; that they are undowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights." And when they are deemed him his country is disqualified from being can never be reized until the Negroes no longer the Freedmen but, in every sense, the FREE MEN.

Such is not true, we must strive in the North to secure an education as same as our race in the South; only, in the North the opportunities are far better and our children ought to learn much faster.

The deceased was 16 years old. He was Thursday afternoon from Bethel A. M. E. church, Rev. W. H. Speese officiating. Rev. W. H.

Endowment Day will be observed in an appropriate manner Sunday. Rev. Spese and wife were made the master of the church and the members of the church on Wednesday night of last week, when, after being awakened from a slumber, found several parcels which contained sustenance for the inner man piled up and the outer man took care and his wife no doubt were thankful. The parsonage was beautiful the past week with bright new paper by the trustees.

The Butler-Bremer Senatorial Controversy Is Referred Back to Convention. LARKIN WAS TURNED DOWN Bista Electronics Board Decided That He Was Not Entitled to a Place on the Ballet-Old Delegates May Now Act. Des Moines, Oct. 16—The state elections board yesterday, afternoon settled the famous Larkin-Soebe controversy in the Thirty-airth senatorial district, consisting of Butler and Brumer counties, barring both of the contesting aspirants for the nomination. The board, consisting of Secretary of State W. B. Martin, Auditor of State B. F. Carroll and Attorney General C. W. Mullan, held that the jugging of the convention had made the nomination of Larkin irregular, but at the same time it also held that B. W. Soebe, who contests the nomination of Mr. Larkin, had not been declared nominated and that the district is not nominated. The board is of the opinion that the code provides in section 1102 for such a contingency and that the convention may nominate another candidate and have his name placed on the ballot. This will leave the nomination of a candidate who tried to name both Mr. Soebe and Mr. Larkin and leaves the situation open to all sorts of possibilities. Although Attorney General Mullan refused to express an opinion at this time, it is understood that he does not believe that the attorney general not legally nominated. Attorney General Mullan is understood to hold the opinion that when the delegates failed to take advantage of ordinary parliamentary rules, by appealing from the committee, the rulings of Chairman Broadle, they forfeited their right of appeal, and that the declaration of the chairman that Mr. Larkin was nominated, made that gentleman the legal nominee of the chairman, the legal nominee of the state of thought otherwise, and held that the evidence did not warrant them in supporting the contention of Mr. Larkin. Whether or not the convention will now get together and renominate Mr. Larkin, the senators' mains to be seen. In any case these are likely to be live in the Butler-Bremer district. If the convention does not meet again the senatorial committee can choose a candidate. The Anti-Safoon League Has Been Reorganized. Des Moines, Oct. 14—Reorganization of the Iowa Anti-Saloon league on the Ohio basis was effected yesterday at its state convention, here. The management of the league was placed in the hands of a board of trustees which, instead of a mass convention, will select the active workers, the superintendents, and like them, the attorneys and mittees which will determine the men whom the league will support for office. This action of the league effectually disposes of the controversy between the friends of H. H. Abrams, present and past state superintendent of the organization, and its chief party prohibition managers to whom he has been extremely distasteful. It was designed to prevent the capture of the organization, now or at any time, by any political organization. G. R. Malone will be selected as state superintendent under the reorganized league. The board of trustees will be selected by the convention of the anti-communist organizations, and will be made up hereafter of delegates regularly selected by the conferences of the churches, and other organizations affiliated in the work which the league is doing.

Man Indicted on Seventeen Counts for Conspiracy to Rob Freed by Jury. Clinton, Oct. 16.

The jury disagreed and was discharged. Murphy was found guilty on the same charge last week. The jury was acquitted again this week, and the attendance at the Conroy trial was nearly as large as at the Murphy trial. Conroy was indicted on seventeen counts, to rob residences, and was tried on some of the others this term. The second trial against Daniel Murphy commenced yesterday. He is on trial for the indictment which charges him with conspiring to rob, last February, the residences of Dr. Hamilton, Dr. Fischer and Ed. Henle. The robberies were committed the same night by Burrier, who was arrested the afternoon following at the room of Murphy. Burrier left his shoes at the Hamilton residence, but stole another pair of Henle, which, however, were too small for him. The following morning he sent a note to Daniel Murphy, asking him to come to the room. Burrier asked Murphy to go and buy him a pair of shoes, and the request was complied with, the purchase be)% made of a clerk who is a nephew of Conroy. It being Sunday the store was closed, but Murphy found the clerk and induced him to sell the shoes. This circumstance, and the fact that chisels, screw drivers and other such tools were found in Murphy's room, are the strong evidences against him in this trial. Burrier will take the stand and testify that Murphy conspired with him in these robberies. STATE FAIR PROFITS. Secretary Simpson issues an Interesting Statement.

Cedar Rapid, Oct. 16—The Indian murder case, which has been sensational from the beginning came to a dramatic close, yesterday morning when District Attorney McMullan filed a motion to dismiss the case, giving a statement of the reason therefor, and the court administered a singing rebuke to certain trouble makers near the reservation at Tama, and further declared that in his opinion the Indian girl Pen-mo-sah-shaw is a willful perjurer; that when she went upon the stand Tuesday afternoon and declared that she was the murderer of John Seepo, who was telling a willful lie. The court stated that it was his firm belief and he believed it was the firm belief of the jury, that the girl knew exactly who was murderer of Seepo; that she knew the murderer of John Seepo; but that she had committed perjury by refusing to disclose what she knew. The United States district attorney yesterday moved to dismiss the case, and made a statement of his reasons. He showed that Frank Earl had been arrested and charged with the murder of the Indian girl Harvath, accession made by her first at the reservation; afterward before United States Commissioner Stewart and lastly before the grand jury. He reviewed the circumstantial evidence in the possession of the evidence, and the chain around Earl, but stated that the would not ask the jury to convict upon such evidence. Attorney Gilm replied for the defense, claiming that his client was an innocent man, a good Indian, stating that the defense could not be "institutional" made against his co-counsel and friend Jacob Lamb of Toledo. Then the court reviewed the case as above indicated, intimating that in his opinion the government of the United States will very speedily apprehend the kind of work now being done by the mischief makers in the vicinity of the reservation. White Swan Promoter Shut Out of $300 to $400 a month Washington, D. C, Oct. 15. - A fraud order has been issued by the postoffice department against Letton Ballett, the White Swan Mining Company, Limited, and the Pacific Securities and Trust company of San Francisco. The latter company was organized to float the securities of the White Swan Mining company. Ballett's mall business has netted him from $300 to $400 per month, all of which will be shut off by the fraud order. Des moines, Oct. 15—Letton Ballett was tried and convicted in the United States district court at this late time. He was charged with using the United States mall in an attempt to defraud. He was sentenced to fine and imprisonment, but took an appeal to the United States court circuit of appeals, and was sentenced to his case for hearing December 8. After appealing from the judgment of the lower court, Ballett went to San Francisco and organized the Pa- tition Trust company and has been serving as trust company and has been serving as trust company and his newly organized company since that time. It was recently reported from Baker City, Oregon, that the White Swan White Swan company and his newly organized company could not be verified. BLYDENBURG AT BROOKLYN. Facts Concerning Life of Eldora Man Are Probed. New York, Oct. 13.—Proctor Noble of Eldors, Iowa, has been in Brooklyn investigating the death of the first and second wives of Ebeneszer & Eldora, charged with the murder of his third wife by poisoning. The death of Blydenburg's first wife, Emily Hawkins, occurred at Stony Brook, L.L., five years ago. Blydenburg's second wife was Laura Godbold, aged 19, at her marriage. She was the daughter of Judge Godbold, a wealthy retired merchant of 1900, and $6,000 insurance on her life is said to have been paid to Blydenburg. The body was embalmed soon after her death and the cause of her death was not placed in the doctor's certificate until after the funeral. The doctor has since died. "I have every reason to believe that my daughter's death was caused by poison and investigation ought to determine by whom it was administered, said Mr. Godbold. In Brooklyn, Blydenburg was a member of the Epworth Methodist church, but was dismissed from it. HE HAD HIS SKULL CRUSHED. Two Are Seriously Injured in a Runaway. Atalissa, Oct. 13.—Charles Trueman, of near this city, lies at his home with a fractured skull, and E. C. Barker of Atalissa, was severely injured as the result of a runaway here. Mr. Trueman was exercising a horse when it became frightened and ran away, throwing its rider. Mr. Trueman was exercising another horse to run away. The animal finally upset the buggy to which it was attached. At this point Mr. Barker was hurt. An examination of Mr. Trueman's injuries revealed the fact that his skull is fractured. Both, it is said, will recover. McCracken Will Be in Command. Washington, D.

Fort Dodge, Oct. 14—Peter Fischer, of Faimer, who was in the city visiting his mother, Bon Fischer, was run over and killed while attempting to cross the yards here. The young man was Hermine Kicks Boy to Death. Ida Grove, Oct. 15.—The 7-year-old son of Eno Carr was kicked to death by a horse on his father's farm in Hayes township. The boy lived hut a short time after the animal kicked ADMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremost, notable heroes of the Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spaniard. A man of steady nerve, clear head, undaunted courage and prompt decision. Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It ap peared on later conversation that Peruna has been used in his family, where it is a favorite remedy. Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says it is.

Vine-growers in France protect their plants during frosty weather by The Santa Fe announces that daily service of its litoriana Limited train for season of 1903-1904 will be resumed November 23; until then it is semi-weekly. The California Limited runs between Chicago on the East, and Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco on the west—a straight-away flight of more than two thousand miles. The time to Los Angeles is less than three days from Chicago. The route is through New Mexico and Arizona, south of the region of heavy snow, and traversing a land of enchantment, where the traveler sees Indian pueblo, capyons a mile deep and peaks two miles high. The train itself comprises compartment observation facilities between Pullman cars and buffet-smoker. Equipment as fine as money can buy, and service absolutely highest class. Perhaps the meals, under management of Mr. Harvey, are the most notable feature of the California Limited. They have a national reputation and are faultless. The fact that this is the eighth season for the Limited ought to mean something to travelers who seek the best way to reach California. The Massachusetts Fish Commission has planted 50,000 lobsters.

You will very soon come The a-ory of great discoveries or inventions is always of interest. An active brain worker who found himself hampered by lack of bodily strength and vigor and could not carry out the plans and enterprises he knew how to conduct was led to study various foods and their effects upon the human system. In words before he could carry out his studies, he knew that a food that would carry him along and renew his physical and mental strength. He knew that a food that was a brain and nerve builder, (rather than a mere fat maker), was universally needed. He knew that meat with the average man does not accomplish the desired results. He knew that the soft gray substance in brin and in chicken was the result of Phosphate of Potash obtained from food. Then he started to solve the problem. Careful and extensive experiments evolved Grape-Nuts, the now famous food. Grape-Nuts contain the brain and nerve building food elements in condition for easy digestion. The result of eating Grape-Nuts daily is easily seen in a marked sturdiness and activity of the brain and nervous system, making it a pleasure for one to carry on the daily duties without fatigue or exhaustion. The food is in no sense a stimulant but is simply food which renews and replaces the daily waste of brain and nerves. Its flavor is charming and being fully and thoroughly cooked at the factory it is served instantly with cream. The signature of the brain worker spoken of, C. W. Post, is to be seen each genuine package of Grape-Nuts. Look in each package for a copy of the famous little book, "The Road to Wellville."

The fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and has won its way to the hearts of the people. The natural timidity which so many people have felt about, giving endorsements to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired thousands of people to give public testimonials for Peruna who heretofore would not have consented to such publicity. Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so many men of national and international reputation have been willing to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary remedy. No amount of advertising could have accomplished such a result. Peruna has won on its own merits. Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or location in the human body. This is why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements. Address The Peruna Drug-M'lg Co., Columbus, Ohio, for free literature on catarrh.

That Elliot *Zborwolski*, who was killed on Tuesday in an auto accident at Nice, died as he did, will be no surprise to those in this city who remember him as the greatest daredevil New York and Newport society ever had. Even Foxhall Koene, who had hatched a broken body, was not the equal to this American count for his wild, reckless disregard for life. He was born in this city of a long line of Zborwolski. Strangely enough, his death is in keeping with the traditions of his family, for none of the male members ever dies in bed. Back of this remarkable circumstance is a tale of a curse four generations ago launched at the head, of the great-grandfather, of the bishop, lord, who, in his anger, called upon heaven to prevent any male Zborwolski from ever dying in his bed. None has since. Elliot's father was stricken with paralysis and died in his chair before the son could ride for a physician. One of his uncles, Elliot, was killed by a New York, New Haven & Hartford train. Another, Francis, was drowned in a Williamsbridge pond. Still another member of the family was killed by being thrown from a horse, and so the story has gone. Now comes the crushing of this generation's representative in a twentieth century soldier—New York World. MADE THE PLEA TOO STRONG Two Over-Zealous Youngsters Worked Themselves Out of a Job. The working members of a family consisting of a father and two sons found themselves out of employment. After a diligent search, the youngest son found employment on the Roxborough filter plant, helping to dig the excavations. On the completion of the first day work he asked Mc. McNichol to give him a job. The contractor, ever on the alert for good men, asked the young man if his brother could do as much work as he, and on the strength of this recommendation the elder brother was engaged. The next day both brothers went to Mc. McNichol and pleased to have their father put on the job. "Can your father do as much work as either of you boys?" asked Mc. McNichol. "Yes," answered the brothers; "he can do as much work as both of us together." Good," replied Mc. McNichol. "Send your father around to the morning and you two stay at home"—Philadelphia Lodge. --- Buxton, Iowa.
