It did ever occur to you that the bunch of colored ribbons you wear in your nautonhole—or pinned on your dress if you are a girl—at commencement, or at a baseball or football game, is really a flag? ask a writer in St. Nicholas. It tells to what class school or college you belong, your interest and sympathy. And for some what similar reasons do nations wear their colors. At first, may it be to tell one another apart; but after whilo the colors—the flag—can represent the nation itself; and the way the people acted toward the nation's flag was supposed to show the way they felt toward the nation. EDITORIALS. In speaking of the tariff change no fair-minded person expects to see the entire solicitude changed. It will be just that part which has afforded shelter for the trusts. A great deal has been said about the Iowa platform. There is nothing in it that is not clearly embraced in the national republican platform. Those complaints come from the soreheads. President Roosevelt says that reciprocity must be treated as the handmaiden of protection and so does every loyal republican. Will any one contend that organized labor of this state does not know that the Republican tariff has made the good times that we are now enjoying. If some colored man had committed the act, which many of the people of the South claim was so chivalrous on the part of Tillman, he would never live to have a hearing in court, much less an acquittal. Who says that justice cannot be tampered with? PROF. H. T [Name] Editor of the A. M. E. Review A. Auditorium, next Thu Editor of the A. M. E. Review, will lecture at the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium, next Thursday night, October 29. We have always contended and will contend, so long as Tillman, Bryan and Sullivan are the leaders of the Democrat party, the laboringman will vote with the Republicans. It should be remembered by every colored voter that there is not a democrat on the state ticket who is any better than their leaders, and "Pitchfork" Tillman is the recognized leader of his party. A GOOD IDEA In view of the fact that there is a great deal being said about the Race Problem in all parts of the country, several men of this city are arranging to have a series of lectures here this fall and winter by some of the leading men and women of our race.

Among the promoters of this lecture course are the Messrs. J. Logan, Gus Watkins, Jno. Early, P. C. Parks, Levi Riley and others. They are undertaking a cause, but it will cost them a great deal of money to conduct the course, so they ask your patronage. Now give them financial aid by purchasing tickets and attending the lectures. Dairies of New York.

Since he the governor has been in office he has been famed as an orator and as a clear thinker, a concise reasoner, and few men have stepped into the political arena and in so brief a time that he has been all the political world. That he has been long identified in the in creats of the common people is shown as early as the year 1881, when he was employed to break up the barb wire that he had ever been arranged on the side of the common people and Abraham Lincoln said that "God must have loved the common people for he made so many of them." The governor is distinctively a man with sincere purity and a strong agonism, but the American people love a fighter when he fights with a definite aim to accomplish certain results. The American people loved Grant and Sh mran Sheridan, Moor and B. C. Cameron, and the governor has been a most consistent republican, working for the best interest of the republican party. The governor's goat adress at Minn. apolis when he said that "The consumer was better entitled to the protection than the government." He completed his through monopolis.c method." He made an her sensation in his Detroit speech when he defended the doctrine of Blaine and McKinley in reciprocity treat a. He won a royal award for his work. He settled all strikes at Dabuque to the entire satisfaction of the employer and the strik rns. Governor Cummins wrote the platform of the last Iowa state convention with his own hand and submitted to the apocalypse a prose it without the alteration of a single word. He is a true friend of the colored race and believes in the elevation and education of them and like our good president chooses the best opportunity to those who are worthy regardless of color. Mrs. R. N. Hyde recived the sad news of the death of a distant relative in Wabash Ind. as follows: *Reborn* at age 33 years, *one of the best known pioneer colored ministers in this part of the state died Tuesday morning at 7:30 o'clock at the home of his step-daughter, Mrs. George H.

No Law is Valid in Iowa Which Prohibits the Making of Contracts, Says the Opinion of the Federal Court. Court. Des Moines, Oc. 20.—Judge McPherson has rendered an opinion in which he holds that the anti-compact law, which was placed on the statute boo's of Iowa in the year 1998, is invalid and its provisions cannot be enforced by the state auditor. This opinion is of far-reaching importance, annoting the need for the state to ban panies at which it was directed and designed to prevent their entering into any combination or agreement relating to rates to be charged for insurance, the amounts of commissions to be allowed agents for procuring the goods, the management of the few insurance, in general throughout the state. The case which has been decided by Judge McPherson was brought in the federal courts as a test of the law upon as absoolute before this passage and did all in their power to prevent becoming a law. The case is entitled the Greenwich insurance company auditor. It was pending before Judge McPheron, on the defendant's demuror to a bill in equity, fled by the insurance companies against the defendant insurance commissioner of The bill in equity asked that the defendant be restrained from taking action against them under certain statutes of the state law known as the anti-competit law, or the Blanchard case, or the antitrust statutes were void because in conflict with both the state and federal constitutions. James C. Davis and Geo. H. Carr appeared for the complainants and Attorney General Mullan for the insurance commissioners, who have been declared unconstitutional. Judge McPherson's opinion, which is exhaustive, will be read with much interest, inasmuch as one of the biggest fights on record was made to prevent the passage of the bill. The plaintiffs have been stubbornly resisting its provisions in the courts since then. The statutes complained of are sections 1754 and 1755 of the code. The former section provides that it shall be unlawful for two or more fire insurance companies doing business in the state, and that employees of such companies to make or enter into any combination or agreement relating to rates to be charged for insurance, the amounts of commissions to be allowed agents for procuring the same or the manner of transacting fire insurance in the state. The latter section provides that the violation of the statute. The following section provides that the auditor shall enforce the law, revoking the permits of any company violating its provisions. It was alleged by the companies that the auditor was about to proceed against them, and they were asked for a restraining order. Judge McPheson does not hold the law in question unconstitutional on the ground that it violates the constitutional provision requiring laws to be general and uniform in their operation, but he does hold that the state has the authority to impose this state any foreign insurance company which he finds solvent and financially worthy. Should he undertake to do so, the proper court will compel him to grant the authority and admit such company. This being so, he cannot put them out, after they are once put out, because the virtue of the power lodged with him under a valid and constitutional statute. This, however, he holds is not the all important question to be considered, but the one that companies, foreign and domestic, now rightfully in the state shall be compelled to submit to the exactions of the valid and unconstitutional statute. ODD FELLOWS PARADE Splendid Pageant at Sloux City— Nominations Are Made. Stoux City, Oct. 22. — Yesterday was the big day for the Odd Fellows in state meeting here.

Do Mesolien, Oct. 22—The Iowa cigarette tax law was again sustained in an opinion handed down by the supreme court yesterday. The case before the supreme court was from Muscatine county and was an appeal on a suit brought in that county by R. E. Hodge, proprietor of a cigar and tobacco store, and Mrs. J. Tabor, owner of the building in which the store was located. It was a test case to enjoin the county from collecting the mullet tax on cigarettes and the law was assailed as unconstitutional and void. The suit was dismissed in the trial court, and then the plaintiffs appealed to the supreme court. The claim made by the plaintiffs in their appeal was that section 5007 of the Iowa code is void because it deprives, or may deprive, private property without due process of law. It was also claimed in the case that no provision for a notice to the dealer or to the real estate owner, that the charge made is in the nature of a criminal penalty and the measure provided for its collection and enforcement ends sought. The claim is also set up that the attempt to enforce a criminal penalty through the taxing machinery of the state is revolutionary and that the law is arbitrary and not in conformity to the provisions of the law. The claim is assailed as an attempt to regulate interstate commerce. The opinion of the supreme court denying the force of these charges is written by Justice Deemer. He holds that the law is all revolve around the central claim that the tax amounts to the taking of the property of the plaintiff without due process of law. The mitic law, the court says, can be fairly said to be the law because it is imposed for the double purpose of regulation and revenue is no reason for declaiming it unconstitutional. In tax, the court says, it was competent for the legislature to prescribe the proceedings and process of its collection. Further, it is held that the power of taxation is inherent in its sovereignty and this power, it holds that its nature acknowledges no boundary. In concluding the opinion, which affirms the lower court throughout, it is stated by the supreme court that "the unreasonableness of the act is not a matter for our consideration. There is nothing arbitrary in a state which provides for the collection of a tax by summary proceedings, and that the state must cure prompt payment. They existed long before the constitution was formed and are in accord with the law of the land." FIVE IN CONTEMPT. Judge Given Held Against Prominent Das Moeling Men Des Moines, Oct. 21.—The five Des Moines men who have been having a hearing in district court for a week, were adjudged to be in contempt of court, yesterday, by Judge Given, who fined them as follows. three finks be given to Mr. D. White, J. O. Wells, E. H. Hunter, $50 each; M. Drady, F. A. Marvin, $25 each. A writ of certiorari was at once sworn out before the supreme court by Mr. Hunter, and, it is understood, that the defendant is much interest in the grounds which are urged as reasons why the district court should not be sustained in its judgment. It is claimed that the cases should have been dismissed when the defendants submitted to the court their sworn statements of innocence, and being as to constructive contempt. Yesterday was occupied in hearing the testimony in the Wells and Marvin cases. The principal witness against Marvin was John Fletcher, accused by the defendant. He testified that Marvin asked him to use his influence for Wells in the case then pending against him in the court of Judge McVey. William Quick, superintendent of the United States Express company, asked him to apply his influence of Marvin. An argument arose over the question as to whether Marvin could be made to testify as he had done before the bar committee. The court ruled that he could not be compelled to testify, but might incriminate himself. Marvin did not testify. In pronouncing judgment Judge Given reviewed some of the testimony and was caustic in part of the criticisms he made, especially as to Mr. Marvin, by the use of personal influence.

AMERICA WINS ALASKAN DISPUTE ALL AMERICAN LAND IS HELD Canada is Given One of the Channels of the Portland Canal, Which is All They Gain from the Contest. London, Oct. 19.—The Alaska boundary commission Saturday reached an agreement whereby the American contentions are sustained, with the exception of those in relation to the Portland canal, which Canada wins. All that now remains to be done is for the commission to anix their exigency to the decision to the boundary to accompany it. On the man will be marked the boundary definitely fixing the division of American and British territory on such a basis that no American citizen will lose a foot of land he already believed he had, while the United States will retain all the waterways to the rich Alaskan territory, with the exception of the Portland canal, which gives Canada the one-outlet she so much needed. The long-standing dispute was only settled after a week of keen trying, secret deliberation between the arbitrators. Even up to noon today there was unpleasant possibility that the government would take the whole proceedings fall to the ground. Lord Alverstone, though openly inclined to believe in the justice of the American people, was entitled to the heads of inlets, as contained in question five, held out that Canada had established her case against the three dealing with the Portland canal. The successful termination of the Alaskan boundary arbitration Saturday afternoon came as a complete surprise, as the commissioner could perhaps the commissioners themselves. When the tribunal adjourned at 3:30 p.m. m. it was understood that no decision had been reached. Indeed, so general was the impression that the commissioner would week that several of the course' and others employed in the case lef. London soon after the adjournment. However, the Associated Press learned that the commissioner had the decision to grant all the American contentions except that for the Portland cegal, which goes to Canada, had been arrived at. But, while very confident, no vote had previously been taken and no one could before this say that the United States had won her case. No hitch occurred during the commissioners' meeting, these progressed the confidence of the American commissioners that a decision substantially upholding the American claims would be given increased confidence. It would be necessary to agree to a compromise on the Portland canal. One of the features of the situation during the last few days has been that Chief Justice Alverstone had considered to take the American view, but seemed to be unwilling to go on record as believing in that way. CANADA TALKS ANNEXATION. King's Subjects Angered Over Boundary Decision. Vancouver, B. C. Oct. 23.—Local feeling is very bitter over the award of the Alaskaan boundary commission. There is much talk of anxitation and distress among the business men being generally much dissatisfied at what they pronounce British disregard of Canadian interests to please the United States. There is much doubt that the loudest among the discontented are Englishmen residing here. Many of these say that Canada will never achieve her greatest possibilities and becomes a part of the United States. Rev. Elliott S. Rowe, the leading Methodist minister of British Columbia, and who, with Chief Justice Hunter, constituted the labor commission in summer, in an interview here said: "I am a British, and I have always been a British, but if Great Britain is to hand Canada over piecemeal to the United States, I say let them do it. But if we do it, By doing so now we are large enough and populous enough and important enough to have something to say regarding the terms of such annexation and also would, be potent enough to also redefine the republic of which we would form a part. But if we wait until our best and richest territory is given away, we shall simply be absorbed. It looks to me as if Canada had won the case against the United States," Mayor Neelands, of Vancouver, thinks that the Alas' an award may lead to the establishment of Canada as an independent nation. "Ottawa, Ont. Oct. 23. In the senate, Mr. Scott, in Boston, ordered the opposition, asked for information concerning the Alas a boundary award, Mr. Scott, for the government, replied that the most important reason why the Canadian commissioners did not approve of the award, was that it was not a judicial document decision. Sir MacKenzie Bowell said that it was unfortunate that in every case when negotiations have taken place between the United States and Engl. forces, the United States diplomats had succeeded in securing islands which command most important points of the domination. There was the island right opposite the United States, in case of a difficulty, he said that island would have to be secured by the British people for, if fortified, it would command the entrance to the island. The United States could secure it and with the guns they have at present would be able to destroy the whole connection between east and west. It was the same with the island of San Juan, where secured by treaty negotiations. "Now," said Mr. McKenzie, "the United States will command Fort Casanada. Canadian interests were sacrificed." Senator McMullen said that the decision would create as much disaffection as was in the Transvaal and in Ireland.

JAPAN TAKES UBRAGE Note Sent to Prince Ching by Rue Marie-Hélène Brunet London Oct. 23.—A dispatch to Redemption Telegram company from Tokio, says it is believed another conference of the elder statesmen will be convened, probably today, when decisions having important bearings on the future, course of the grants are expected, although there is no fear of an immediate rupture, in the meantime extraordinary preparations are progressing. It is reported from Peking that M. Lessar, the Russian minister, has addressed a long note to Prince Ching, head of the Chinese foreign office, saying that Japan's interference in the affairs of the Russian empire to adopt final measures, and threatening China with severe punishment if she sides with Japan. This action, while the negotiations are pending, has caused deep umbrage. Peking Oct. 23—it has been announced that the Russian viceroy of the Far East, Admiral Alexieff, is opposed to the opening of Manchurian towns to foreign trade. This has excited no surprise here. The treaty of commerce between China and the United States recently signed at Shanghai, provides that suitable conditions must be met for Tung for the residence of foreigners and for their commerce. Russia's latest proposals to China, which embody Viceroy Alexieff's policy, stipulate that such concessions be given only to Russians. The Japanese location here says that the negotiations at Tokyo between Russia and Japan are proceeding satisfactorily. THREE MORE GO. Postmaster General Makes Removals For Good of Service.

The postmaster general also stated that the postmaster at New York had the clerk in the New York postoffice, for collecting money from clerks to influence legislation and to procure promotions. In reply to questions, Mr. Payne and his chargers were the result of disclosures made by the Bristow report. "I have read the report," he said, "and am free to say that my action today was the result of its perusal." He declined to say, whether there would be other removals as a result of the report, but it is understood that while a few others may follow, there will not be any wholesale dismissals.

PACIFIC STEAMER WRECKED ON REEF Mansfield, Ore, Oct. 21—The steamer South Portland, which sailed from Portland, Oregon, last Sunday loaded with wheat for San Francisco, struck on Blanco reef during a heavy fog. The vessel carried a crew of 22 and 14 passengers. Seventeen have reached the shore. Charles Huzon, the first assistant engineer, died as they were taking him off the life raft, of exposure. The other persons are missing and are probably lost. The South Portland struck the rock going at a speed of about seven notches. As soon as striking she began to set a stern, and in a minute or two slid off the reef and began to sink in. The captain wished that there was hope of saving the ship, speedy had the boats lowered.

Military Activity by Russia and Japan Belle, the Peace, Rumora Yokohama, Oct. 22.—The ministerial conferences, naval preparations and notably the appointment of Vice Admiral Toga, known as a fighting admiral, to command the squadron, have led to a renewal of the anticipations of trouble. Some decided development in the crisis is expected from the Japanese companies are reported to have been notified to be in readiness for emergencies. London, Oct. 22.—A dispatch to Reuter's Telegram company from Tokio, says: Russian military activity on the Korean frontiers is unabated and the Japanese military is gloomy view.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 22—A dispatch to the Novoo Vremya from Vladivostock says: "The Japanese government has notified its consul here that there is no reason why the Japanese should leave Vladivostock. This was in reply to a query of the consul on the subject. BIG LAND GRAFT GAME Wholesale System of Fraudulent Acquirement of Lands Portland, Ore., Oct. 22.—The Oregonian says: "The government has unearthed a stupendous 'land graft' ring that has been carried on a business in every limbered area on the Pacific slope. "This ring has not only acquired 'base' lands, by 'dummies', and other fraudulent methods; it has debauched state land officials, making them hire fraudulent lawyers; the business; it has maintained in the general law office at Washington agents whose duty it was to 'leak' information about proposed reserves and other profit-making activities, and by use of money has influenced the reserve boundaries to its own interests. "The central figures of this conspiracy are said to be in San Francisco. William J. Burns, in the secret service, to the treasury department, and A. B. Hugh, general in the interior department were in Portland last week gathering evidence." TROUBLE FOR UNITED STATES. Russia Objects to Opening of Mukden to Commerce. New York, Oct. 21.—The Russians are very indignant with the United States government for concluding a treaty for opening Mukden to the commerce of the world, cables the Che-Foo correspondent of the Herald. The Russians asserts, that the St. Petersburg government is protesting and maintain that the opening new treaty port will never take place. The Port Arthur Russian newspaper, Novice Kral, has published a lengthy word article on this subject. But the treaty is proof of the aggression of the city of the United States. This policy, the parental declares, infringes the rights of Russia founded on her construction of the Manchu and the concession by China to Russia of the sole commercial exploitation of Manchuria NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL Des McInnes, Oct. 23. 1903.

Crofford, the sanitarium manager at Lamoni, sentenced to twenty years in the penitentiary on conviction of murder in the second degree for the death of Miss Maud Stone, has secured a new trial from the supreme court. The chief ground of reversal is that one of the jurors had expressed such an opinion in regard to the guilt of the defendant that he should have been excluded from the admitting letters written by Miss Stone to Ira Hammond several months before the alleged collision between Hammond and Crofford for the performance of a criminal operation on the court for which he has been out on bail pending the appeal to the supreme court and engaged in practice, though the state board of medical examiners refused to restore to him his certificate that was revoled on his conviction. he case was dismissed because the defendant is wealthy and put up a hard fight and his sanitarium had become well known all over the southern part of the state. Attorneys for William Lucas, accused and convicted of murder at Charlinda, argued for the liberty of the liberty of their client before the justices of the supreme court. Attorney General Mullan prosecuted. The story of the brutal crime of which Lucas was convicted was retold in all of its nauseating details. It occurred near Charlinda, May 19, 1988. Section 11 of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy entered a little shanty behind the track and found within the body of Miss Emma Moore, a 19-year-old girl, cold and stiff in death. In her hand was a knife she had breast. The sheer examination the revolver and swore there were no unloaded shells in the chambers. The testimony showed that Lucas had been seen with Miss Moore that evening and admitted to the crime. Her body was found in the morning. The testimony showed the two had quarrels. Lucas' defense was that the woman had committed suicide. The trial of the case awakened intense interest in the conviction of Lucas. The appeal was made on the basis of insufficiency of the evidence to convict. The five judges of the Iowa supreme court will hear the story of how Mose Jacobs for twenty-five years cried the sensational news stories in Des Moines to earn a fortune, and will then decide if he is entitled to his harvest or if it shall go to his father, who claims he will. Mose Jacobs will. A notice of appeal in the case of Mose Jacobs vs. Charles and Mary Jacobs has been filed with the clerk of the district court, that court having decided that Mose was innocent to have restored him to 1000 for the monkey he turned over to his mother, Le-h Jacobs, now deceased, who buried it in the cellar, where a large share of it remained until dig up by the father.

Sabra, huntans, Oct 19th — A great many men in this neighborhood used to complain of pain in the back but now scarcely one can be found who has any such trouble. Mr. Gottlieb Mm. is largely responsible for the improvement for it was he, who first of all found the remedy for this Backache. He has recommended it to all his friends and neighbors, and in every case it has had wonderful success. "For many years I had been troubled with my Kidneys and in the small of my back. I tried many medicines but did not derive any benefit until last fall, when I bought a dozen boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills. After using them a few days I began to improve, my back quit aching and I felt better and stronger all around. "I will keep them in the house right along for in my opinion they are the best medicine in the market to-day, and if my back should bother me again, I will use nothing else."

Usually Make Sickly Men and Women The "spoiled child" usually makes a weak, sickly man or woman because such a youngster is not well-behaved and drinks things that are unfit for any stomach and sickness results. "I was always a delicate, spoiled child and my parents used to let me drink coffee because I would cry for it," says a Georgia young woman. "When I entered school my nervousness increased and my parents thought it was due to my going to school, so they took me out again. But I did not get any better and my headaches got worse and weakened me so that I was unfit for any duty. Sometimes I would go a whole day without any other nourishment than a cup of coffee. "Last spring I had a bad attack of the Gripe and when I recovered I found that coffee nauseated me I could not drink it and even a few swallows would cause a terrible burning in my stomach. It was at this time that a friend who had been much benefited by the use of Postum suggested that I try this food drink. I found it simply delicious and have used it ever since and the results speak for themselves. I have gained 12 pounds and my nerves are as steady as any ones. "I consider myself well and strong and I am not now to take a cup of Postum with a cracker or a soon as I come home from school in the afternoon. Postum with crackers or a biscuit makes my lunchme. It certainly saved my life for I know coffee would have killed me it had a continued drinking it. "I have a young girl friend, a stenographer, who declares nothing strengthens and refreshes her like Postum and she has a little oil stove in her office and makes a cup of Postum at noontime. I have recommended this wonderful beverage to many of my friends who know what it has done for me." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

Should Bulgaria, in spite of Russia's warning not to provoke hostilities with Turkey, decide on a campaign against the suzerain power, Russia will nevertheless be forced by her very position as leading Slav power to side against Turkey. My informant adds, however, that Bulgaria's territories at the end of such a campaign would not include a single foot more Balkan territory than they do to day. Bulgaria he adds, would only succeed in paralinger her own economic condition for years to come.—St. Petersburg Correspondence London Express. Saw the Governor Eat. Gov. Van Sant and Judge Janson of Minnesota, visited the state fair grounds at Minnesota about noon and went into a restaurant for a lunch. They were recognized, of course, and shown all possible attention, but just as they were about to begin eating both were surprised as well as amused to hear the barrier outside the tent shout as he swung his bell back and forth vigorously: "Step right this way! you must be mine!" The governor son will have to see the governor of Minnesota eat. Come right and watch him feed." And it wasn't long before the place was crowed, while the blushing governor and his modest private secretary had to grin and bear it—Chicago Chronicle. Why He Was Not Surprised! Glen MacDonough, who wrote the dretto for the comic opera "Babes in Toyland," was sitting in a New York safe recently with Victor Herbert, the composer, when a waiter approached to take his order. The waiter smiled at Mr. MacDonough and said: "You don't remember me, do you? I used to sing in one of your companies." "I remember you very well," said Mr. MacDonough. "Are you surprised to see me here as a waiter?" asked the other. "Not a bit, replied the librette cheerfully; "you know, I have heard you sing." Professor Witty Reply.

A workman digging a pole hole recently discovered a mistake the frightened settlers of the Wyoming valley made in 1778, when, after the massacre, they returned to the valley and erected a gravestone over the spot where the two settlers first killed by bodies and Indians under Butler were found that the gravestone which was made of stone was some distance from where the bodies were buried. These men, Benjamin and Stukley Harding, had gone to work in the fields above Wyoming in what is now Exeter borough. They were attacked and killed by the Indians on June 30, 1778. The next day a party of men from Fort Wyoming buried the bodies. The following day the massacre occurred, and it was some weeks afterward when the survivors, returning to the valley, erected a gravestone over where they believed the bodies to be the body, was the inscription, which can be done by writing "Sweet be the sleep of those who perished death to slavery." In time other graves were dug about this head stone and a fence was erected. A lineman digging in the road near the fence for a pole found several bones and two skulls. These lay parallel with the headstone, and have been identified as the remains of the Hardings. The bonis will now after 125 years, be placed under the headstone. Boy Turning to Stone. James Wells, nineteen years old, who resides near Gorham, N. Y., began about two months ago to experience a numbness in his lower limbs. This numbness is now extending over its entire body. The joints of the feet and legs are beginning to ossify and the muscles are showing the articulation of beginning to undergo the same process. This slow but deathly pathological change is extending all over the anatomy of Wells and the doctors who have examined him fear a horrible end for the young man. It is a case that is' puzzling the medical fraternity. Wells experiences no physical pain, but the foreseen of feet of the ossifying process is beginning to affect him mentally. The young man has always led an outdoor life, and up to the time of his strange affliction was in the best of health. Made a Good Bargain. J. H.

Carroll Favors Creation of Insurance Department Des Moines, Oct. 19—In a letter of transmittal with his biennial report, which has been submitted to Governor Cummins, State Auditor B. F. Carroll devotes considerable space to the discussion of insurance matters and makes several important recommendations for action by the coming session of the legislature. Most important among these recommendations is one arguing to some extent for the creation of an insurance department for the state distance and separate from the office of the state auditor. Mr. Carroll cities the enormous increase in the insurance business in Iowa and declares the business has grown to such importance that the entire attention of one man should be given to its supervision. The report also emphasizes the importance of panes other than those selling life policies, the state and county mutuals, and says as a general thing these companies are well conducted and doing a good business for their policy holders, but he declares there are areas where insurance business which have been exceedingly extravagant, in the matter of expenses and salaries to their offices, the latter item sometimes exceeding the entire amount paid to the policy holder. He believes the legislature should increase the amount these companies shall pay for salaries and expenses. The report shows that at the end of the biennial period Iowa is richer than even in the history of the state, and that the state's economic growth is 826. This is an increase of $417,826 over the amount on hand when the last biennial report was issued. The report also shows that the state deals with banks and banking, showing a wonderful increase in this business throughout the state, with building and loan associations, revenue banks, and investment companies and telegraph and telephone companies. In nearly all of these matters recommendations would be to the credit of the state for the better regulation of the affairs of the corporations. The auditor's biennial report for 1901 shows a net cash balance in the treasury of $1,114,000.00, after deducting all outstanding warrants. This has been increased to $1,531,826.00 at the end of the biennial period just showing an increase of $417.926,826.00 for the preceding biennial period amount to $1,120,659.54, and the period just closed $617,855.50, making an increase of $1,087,795.96. This, however, includes $346,868.00 refunded by the United States government on account of the claim, and $466,147.89 on account of civil war claim, leaving a net increase from ordinary sources of $666,611.39. Since the legislation enacted by the Twenty-Eighth General Assembly, reducing the rate of interest on the per cent interest rate, the amount to not less than 5 per cent, and increasing the amount which counties may loan to one individual from $1,000 to $3,000, this fund has all been placed at interest, and at a profit to the county. The amount to be charged above 4.12 per cent charged against the counties by the state accrues to such counties as a commission or profit for handling such funds. In a few instances the counties are still loaned to the county 6 per cent interest. The amount of it is now $4,754,444.52. Further sale of school land or funds from eschel estate will not greatly increase this amount. The increase during the biennial period being only $2,139.38. FOR GOOD ROAD3. Southeastern Iowa Association En Borles Work or State Association. Burlington, Oct. 22. "The annual convention of the Southeastern Iowa Good Roads association was held here on Monday, a good attendance. The morning session was held at the Commercial exchange room of the tertiary D. B. Lyons of Des Moines made an address on "Good Roads." He reviewed the work done in Europe and the eastern states and declared Iowa could follow those examples. He proposed a tax of 50 per cent for the township and a tax of 10 per cent for the township and 10 per cent for the abutting property owners to support good roads. He condemned those who censured the Good Roads association, alleging the latter was a good thing and talking was a good thing and was means of arousing the people to action. He urged organization. Counties and townships should organize and move on the legislators with a something would then be accomplished. The following officers were elected: President—W. W. Parsons, Burlington. Vice-President—E. D. Smith, Fort Madison. Secretary-Treasurer—J. B. Gillis, Mount Pelea. Resolutions were adopted pledging co-operation with the state association. A number of short addresses followed in the afternoon. The session was held at the Grand opera house, the principal address being the South Carolina, who said what the agricultural region most needed is permanent roads; sand and clay was commended as suitable material where macadam was too expensive. He held up as a remedy for the present condition government aid. The powers of the localities most needing assistance are capable of means for building them and government aid is imperative. He said we could never have such roads as a great civilized country should enjoy unless the government g*; aid; the state should assist, as ell as the county and township. The speaker opposed to the government loaning was suing the state but favored an appropriation of $100,000,000 a year for five years for the purpose of building good roads. This $500,000,000 supplemented by an additional $500,000,000 from the people, would in his judgment meet all the demands necessary to improve roads. The congressman Thomas Hedge also advised meeting favoring the added roads movement. A similar case, tried some time ago from the Marshall county district court, is now before the United States Court of Appeals for the lower court on much the same law which were put forth in the present claim for the unconstitutionality of the law.

Military Authorities Agree on Value of This Arm All military auth rites on the continent are of one kind 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, and the United States Double Alliance has become superior, numerically, to their own. In the event of war, France could place in the field 327 squadrons and Russia 711; or the two together 1,038 squadrons, while the Triple Alliance could only muster 746 squadrons, or 392 squadrons less than the Double Alliance.

The house was soon filled with people and the news spread like wire. Soon hundreds of men were armed and in pursuit of the murderer, hurrying to the scene, the bloodhounds were ordered and their early arrival showed business on the part of the owner of the hounds. Everybody seemed determined that the assassin should be caught. It was a sad day in Buron. No doubt the murderer caught during the day or near Buron.

The working members of a family consisting of a father and two sons and a mother, 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's work he asked Mr. McNichol to give us his brother a job. The contractor, ever u the alert for good men, asked the yung man if his brother could do as much work as he, and on the request of recommendation the elder brother was engaged. The next day both brothers went to to McNichol and pleaded to have their father put on the job. "Car your father do as much work as either of you boys!" asked McNichol. "Yes" answered the brothers; "he can do as much work as both of us would." "Very good," replied McNichol. "Send your father around in the morning and you two stay at home"—Philadelphia Ledger. The naturalist of the Bologna expedition lately told the Zoological Society of France that he believes the sea serpent to exist, and that it is not at all an imaginary creature of song and story.

In form it resembles somewhat the extinct plesiosaurus, attaining a length of 200 feet, the head and neck being one-fourth of the length, the trunk one-fourth and the tail one-half.

Curses on Zborowski *Family Finder* Another Victim. That Elliot Zborowski, 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 Keene, who broke, 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 Zborowski. 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-greatfather of Zborowski by a rich wife, who in his later, called upon heaven to prevent any male Zborowski 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, John 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 story of a twentieth century no oldsit—New York World. High Prices for Antiques High Price clothes Old price collectors in this city have lately been driving prices higher and higher. The rage for Chippendale and Sheraton patterns of the finer line is greater than ever. Chains especially fetch astonishing prices. Even dealers are paying in some cases as much as $50 for a single Chippendale chair of rare pattern, though it be out of repair. A collector for a Chippendale chair for a Chippendale armchair, Chairs of less unusual pattern are sold every day for $40, $50 and $100.—New York letter.
