Naylor's family Friday night, at their home on Ninth and School streets. Many colored people were at the opening engagement of the new play, "On the Bridge at Midnight," last Thursday night, regardless of the fact that Prof. Kealing was also at the Y. M. C. A. Auditorium. The harvest party that was given by the Meadames LaCour, Ruff, and Hudlin last Friday night at the home of Mrs. Hudlin furnished plenty of merriment for the invited guests, as most of them wore costumes as requested by the invitation. It was after midnight are all had departed, yet those present were free to say that they were good entertainers. Refreshments during the evening. The apparelling of a pretty woman is a problem to which countless minds have been devoted almost since the world began, but Dame Fashion never allows the problem to become stale or completely solved. To women particularly it is a fascinating subject. in the Cosmopolitan for November appears in a well-illustrated article by Mrs. Wilson Woodrow which deals woman and her costumes. Mr. A. H. Jones and sister, Mrs. Willie Smith, entertained at a 'coon supper Monday evening, Nov. 2, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. James Hamilton, 1083 Center street.

McNerney, Manager. EDITORIALS. Last Tuesday's election was a great triumphant Republican victory in general. One that speaks louder than words for protection and reciprosity. New York and Maryland are the only two states that the Democrats carried, where a fair ballot and an honest count was had; even in New York the question there waged was local questions, such as Tammany vs. Anti-Tammany. In Ohio it was generally thought that it would be close, but Governor Herrick was elected by over 115,000 plurality, and our own state the most egotistic republican only expected to elect Governor Cummins by 63,000 plurality, but late returns show that Governor Cummins will have over 80,000 plurality. Our state legislature is overwhelmingly Republican. The Democrats will only have seven members in the Senate and the Republicans will have forty-three. In the House the Democrats will have twenty-one and the Republicans seventy-nine. The election is a vindication of republican principles and prosperous times, and republicans are asked to line up for the 1904 battle which is just beginning. THE ARMY POST OPENING The United States army post that has been building here for several years will be formally opened here November 12, 13 and 14, with appropriate military services and pomp, also a barbacue on the last day. As this will be the only army post in Iowa, the opening will be a state affair and there will be people from all parts of the state. The railroads have given a one-fare rate. Some of the distinguished army officers of our country will be present. It will be worth your visit here to the grounds. There will be a military drill each day. Most all the Iowa Company will be here. NEWSPAPER WIND For more than one year there has been talk of another newspaper starting here. There has been a desire of a few disafflicted kickers who are already ought to be instructed and always complaining about this or that thing; those very people do not subscribe for the colored newspapers and if they do have not, never have nor will not pay for them, they are not in the journal; yet they are the first to complain. Shame, nous hypocrite! Great race men! Nearly every day for the past month an article would appear in the papers about another colored paper and that it will not deal in politics. The very parties that have been trying and are trying to start a paper we have been informed have been promised $200 by a prominent politician in college, who will college and will be a candidate again next spring to start a paper in opposition to the Bystander and that $200 is about all the money they have mustered up, so the public can see it in for papers sheets started in this and other states, especially just before the national campaign. The middle west has been flooded in past years with such papers. While we welcome all honest and worrisome people, we purpose to oppose, fight and create strife, which is foreign to our principles.

Did it ever occur to you that the bunch of colored ribbons you wear in your tuttonhole- or pinned on your dress if you are a girl-at commencement, or at a baseball or football game, is really a flag? asks a writer in St. Nicholas. It tells to what class or school or college you belong, or which of these, for the time, has your interest in sports. What more, what similar reasons do nations wear their colors. At first, it may, it was to tell one another an art; but after while the colors—the flag—came to 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. By Burns M. E. Church Last Sunday With Appropriate Ceremony at Eleventh and Crocker Streets In the presence of 300 people the cornerstone of Burns M. E. church, at Crocker and Eleventh streets, was laid on Sunday afternoon. The Burns M. E. church is one of the thriving colored congregations of our city, and the erection of their new church building means the result of not a little sacrifice and hard work upon their part in order that they might have a fitting church home of their own. Dr. E. T. Hagerman of the First M. E. church, and Rev. Mr. Franklin of the North Des Moines M. E. church, represented the Methodist churches of the city at the ceremonies and made addresses congratulating the people of Burns church on the success of A. REV. O. A. JOHNSON. efforts to secure a new church building. Rev. O. A. Johnson, the pastor of the church, also made a few remarks. Over $50 to be used in paying for the new church building, was received from a collection taken during the services. The new church building will be of brick, two stories in height, and is expected to meet all the needs of the congregation for years to come. It has been erected chiefly through the efforts of Rev. O. A. Johnson, who has accomplished great results during the sixteen months for which he has held the pastorate. Several years ago Rev. Mr. Johnson was a school teacher in Missouri. For two years he was secretary and for three years treasurer of the grand lodge of V. B. O. F. for the state of Missouri. He was national delegate for the same lodge, representing it at Houston, Texas, Louisville, Ky., Indianapolis, ind., and Cincinnati, Ohio. Refusing some remunerative opening for which his success as secretary and treasurer of the lodge qualified him, he devoted his life to the ministry. He was ordained a deacon by Bishop C. C. McCabe at Topka, Kas., and made an elder at Marshall, Mo., by Bishop James N. Fitzgerald. He held a pastorate at Richmond, Mo., for four successive years, and later at Oskaloosa, Iowa, for four years, coming from Oskaloosa to Des Moines. The trustees of the Burns M. E. church include the following: Jesse Estell, T. A. Ray, E. S. Morgan, C. C. Crowell, John Strother, James Bush, M. MeAdams, J. W. Robinson, Robert Estell. CLUB WOMEN AS SEEN BY ONE OF THEM. It is easy to believe that before long every club woman in the country will be reading and talking of the piquant narrative, "The Evolution of a Club Woman," by Agnes Burbridge, the second installment of which appears in the November Delineator. It is based on fact, and describes from the inside various incidents connected with rise and progress of the president of one of Chicago's largest clubs. In executive club circles the story is, to put it mildly, affording interesting reading, while to the general public it is highly diverting. The same issue of this magazine has, in addition to its super presentation of the incoming Winter styles, some other especially good features in J. C. Hemment's illustrated story of his historical film with the camera; stories by Lillie Hamilton French, William MacLeod Baine and Mina C. Smith; and house plans and house furnishing ideas, by Alice M. Kellogg. There are also innumerable articles of culinary and economic interest to women, and for the children there are pleasant games and stories. THE AFRICAN IN MUSIC Coleridge-Taylor Latest Production a Masterpiece of classic Music. Coleridge-Taylor's new choral work, "The Atonement," was produced for the first time at the recent Hereford festival in England. This is what the critic of the London Musical Standard thinks of the work: "The great novelty of the week was the production on Wednesday morning of Coleridge-Taylor's "The Atonement." There was a large and brilliant gathering in the cathedral, and it was at once evident the young Anglo-African composer's work had created widespread interest. The composer conducted d The prelude may be said to epitomize the whole work, and a theme which commences at the eighth bar predominates, but others are heard in the "Gethsemane" and the "Calvary" music. The various themes are so interwoven as to form a movement of great beauty. The "Gethsemane" music opens with singular charm and the chorus, "In the soft月night glow," is an able piece of writing. Christ's prayer, "Father, the last dread hour is near," is beautifully touching in its simplicity. There is some fine coloring in the chorus descriptive of the approach of the roman soldiers. The third part is wholly taken up by an eight-part chorus, "Prayer of the Holy Women and apostles," the opening of which reminded one very forcibly of some old world chant. A restless tonality pervades This in the fourth section we have a scene before Pontius Pilate, opening which a beautiful treated chorus. "The night is past." The treatment of the dialogue between the populace and Pilate is very convincing, although possibly verging up on theatrical display. The greatest section of the work, to my mind, is the last part, "Calvary." The theme of the trio for the three Marys is striking in its individuality. The final chorus, "It is finished," is powerful in the extreme. Much of the work is complicated, but nevertheless I consider that Mr. Coleridge-Taylor has produced a really fine work, not that I predict a popularity for it, if the term popular can be applied to a sacred work. The subject is somewhat too grubsome. I am afraid to commend the cantata to the public mind, yet those societies who do take up the work will have ample opportunity for disslaying their skill. After a single hearing it is possibly unwise to be dogmatic in ones opinions. I merely give my impression for what it is worth.—Ex. CLINTON ITEMS The Joshua Sons of Valor club of Bethel A. M.

The evening being very pleasant the first part of it was spent on the lawn, which gave way to a dance with white-robed figures moving around. About 10 o'clock the guests entered the parlor, the masks being removed and the rest of the evening was spent in games and conversation and fortune telling. At a late hour very dainty Halloween refreshments were served by the Misses Bartlett, assisted by Mrs. Harper, who was present when the guests departed, helping for another invitation before next Halloween.

A curious custom prevails in Bulgaria which must be a hard penalty for a woman who whispers the sound of her voice. All newly-married women are obliged to remain dumb for a month after marriage, except when addressed by their husbands.

Aluminum cooking utensils are being pushed by many of the big shops. They are brought out in shapes as attractive as the fine silver, copper and old lined cooking vessels used in wealthy households. The stew pans, terrapin dishes, coffee cups and tea-takkes of aluminum have now such beauty of contour and finish that they seem almost more appropriate to the dining-table than to the kitchen. Expensive Invitations. The latest craze in New York among the very wealthy is an extravagant style of invitation card. Not long ago the wife of a millionaire ordered 200 of these from a local firm and they cost her just $10 each. The cards were made of ivory adorned with gold, the name of the guest and hostess being lettered in gold on one side, the other being hand-painted.

Des Moines, Nov. 5.—Unofficial returns from all the counties in Iowa show that Governor Cummins' plurality will fall little short of his plurality two years ago, when he was elected by a plurality of 88,228. The returns received up to a late hour last night gave him a plurality of 78,638. This figure is made up from returns from all counties with the exception of a few details, which may change the vote slightly but not materially. The incomplete returns received yesterday show that Cummins received 287,564 votes and Sullivan 150,415. The vote of these unimportant counties was estimated to secure totals. The results from all quarters have been extremely surprising. Counties which went democratic on representative and senatorial selection, and in some cases the opposition county ticket, gave the governor a handsome majority. Scout county, which has been supposedly a democratic county, went for the governor and many other districts throughout the state did the same. local factional districts, of which there have been so many in this campaign, did not cut into the plurality for the head of the ticket, but only seemed to bring out the vote. Such examples are instanced in Hardin, where Cummins received a plurality of 2,750 while Black Purr, defeated by 140, in Black Hawk county. Cummins carried the county by over 1,000, while the entire democratic county ticket was elected. In the legislature the democrats make gains in the houses, where they will have 21 members, but they lose two seats, and they will only have seven members. Several reasons are allowed for the difference in the vote on the head of the ticket and the slump in the republican membership in the house. There is first the personal popularity of the candidates, and second the political rights that have been in progress thirdly, but not least in importance the unpopularity of the road law passed by the last legislature. This is supposed to have caused the republican defeat in Chickasaw and republican managers ascribe to it much of the blame for the lack of the legislature who voted for this measure. Of the three parties on the ticket, besides the republican and democratic the socialist party seems to be the only one which made any approximation to the vote. Bennett Mitchell will approximate 13,000 which compared with a vote of 15,659 for Cotter, two years ago shows a falling off. On the other hand, the socialists show a market gain. Two years ago the vote of 2,452 for Baxter. This year they will poll about 5,000 for Work. Two years ago the people's party polled for Weller 782 votes. For the same candidate this year they have polled. Des Mones, Nov. 5—In the last general assembly there were ten democrats in the senate; this time there will be only seven. The house, the democrats will probably elect the house members. This number seems to be final, unless the unexpected occurs. The legislative conflicts have been marked by much of the surprising and of the dramatic. The most startling of the conflicts was some quarters surprisingly heavy republican votes were polled and in others equally heavy losses were sustained. Of the hardest fights, as well as one of the most surprising in its results, was Woodbury county, where John H. Jackson is declared elected by a narrow margin of 19 over his competitor, A. B. Garretton, the democrat, and a context is threatened. The fight was pictureque in the extreme. In Hardin county another contest is threatened, Mark Furry, the regular republican nominee, was defeated by a slender plurality of 140, as compared with a plurality for Cummins of 2,069. Hardin has some precincts and propose a contest. Wm. Weldon, the successful candidate, is an old-time republican, a "prominent business man of Iowa Falls, and a popular gentleman. He made no canvass for the place, but was elected and carried in the county's ticket to the on issue of charges growing out of the tax ferret scandal. Extremely interesting has been the contest in the Iowa-Johnson district which the latest returns of last night indicated had gone for Hughes by over 200 majority. It was a close fight between the two candidates, white in the house as the advocate for a 2-cent railroad fare and an anti-pass stateman. He has a warm following of friends among the politicians throughout the state. The Butler-Bremer senatorial night seems to have been a mercellous slaughter of Boesie, who is a brother of Martin J. Wade of the Second district. Butler snowed Boesie under by about 500 votes, while Bremer about doubled it. Washington county witnessed a peculiar fight. Logan was a member of a law and order league wielding with the people who persisted in drinking too much. The league arrested everybody who drank to excess without respect to conditions. Among the victims of its raids, were a number of prominent young people, who found themselves, as a result, under arrest for intoxication. This developed a feeling of considerable hostility. It festered so that when the vote was counted, it was discovered that L. L. DeLay, a notorious notwithstanding the fact that Cummins carried the county. A thing of beauty is a joy until the mornings get on to the coast Will Hanoi Eight Senators and Twenty-three Representatives.

MARRIAGES AND BIRTHS. State Board of Health Figures Indicate Race Suicide. Des Moines, Nov. 3.—The falling off of births in 1962 compared with the birth rate of 1903—together with an increase of 276 in marriages—and that diphtheria, notwithstanding the use of antitoxin and modern methods of treating the disease, has lost none of its fatal qualities, are shown in the biennial report of the state board of health, which was submitted to the governor yesterday. That Iowa is not entirely free from the dread disease of leprosy is also shown during the biennial period from Humboldt county. Is race suicide prevalent in Iowa? Is this a question which might be perennially raised in connection with the report of the state board in regard to births and marriages. It shows that in there were 10,000 deaths in 1902 and only 46,750, a falling off of 9,508. The marriage record shows 20,227 marriages in 1901 and 20,503 in 1902, an increase in 1902 of 276. There were 14,003 deaths in Iowa during the year 1901 and 12,567 in 1902, a falling off in deaths of 1,506. The information is used as an argument in favor of the recommendation for better legislation looking to the adoption of preventive methods. During the past biennial period there have been 2,118 cases of diphtheria in Iowa, resulting in 266 deaths. Typhoid follows in the fatal column with 174 deaths, and scarlet fever with 124 deaths. Typhoid pores lead the list in number of cases the board having a record of 11,227 cases, from which 34 deaths resulted THE FIGHT IN BLACKHAWK. Democrats Elect County Ticket by Good Majorities. Waterloo, Nov. 5. L-Blackhawk county democrats elected all their candidates for county offices with the acceptance of the republican candidate for the later office, has pulled through, but his plurality will be small. This result is remarkable from the fact that the usual republican majorities in the county run from 1,500 to 2,500, and they never before held a county office. A bitter fight was inaugurated early in the campaign against the republican candidates for sheriff and county superintendent. It happened that both H. B. Lizer for county superintendent, were former democrats. They went over to the republican party in 1896, when many gold democrats voted that ticket. This fact was urged against them on the ground simply for office, and it was also charged that a snag causes resulted in O'Keefe's nomination and that Lizer obtained his nomination by fraud in the county convention. Scores of well-known and respected candidates for the democratic candidates. J. D. Caldwell of Waterloo was elected sheriff with a majority of 1,600. Charles Elliott was chosen superintendent of schools with a majority of 1,600. He dates for county offices had about the same lead. Governor Cummins carried the county, however, by something more than 1,000 majority over Bullivan. JACKSON DEFEATS GARRETON. Fight Was Close in Woodbury County. Sioux City, Nov. 4.—The returns complete from all the precincts of Sioux City, and the rebellion candidate for state senator, to have been elected by a majority of 19 over Garretson, the democratic nominee. Garretson made a great race in Sioux City, securing a majority of 89. Jackson ran over 1,600 behind his ticket in the county. The democrats will make the claim that Jackson secured his small majority by fraud, and Garretson declares he will contest the election. Eldred, a democrat, was elected supervisor in the first district, which includes Sioux City, with a vote of 402 over Nystrom, the Republican candidate who carried the county by about 1,700. TAMMANY GETS NEW YORK CITY McClellan Elected Mayor By Plurality of 63,617 Over Seth Low. DEVERY WAS NOT IN THE RACE The Content Was a Notable One, and Tammany Won Despite Almost Unanimous Opposition of the Press and Pulpit of the City. New York, Nov. 4. After a remarkable campaign in which there was united against him nearly all of the newspapers and practically every minister of religion in the city, Geo. B. McClellan, son of the civil war commander, was yesterday elected third mayor of Greater New York over Seth Low, justifier, the present mayor, by a plurality of 61,414. Edward M. Grout was elected comptroller, and Charles V. Fornes, president of the board of aldermen. These two men were originally on the fusion ticket and were endorsed by Tammany, whereupon the fusionist lot and nominated other candidates. It was the nomination of Grout and Fornes by Tammany that caused Hugh McLaughlin, the veteran leader of the Kings county democracy, to both and declare that he would not support men who were not democrat. McLaughlin, McClellan, Grout and Fornes carried Kings county. The management of their campaign there was taken over by State Senator Patrick H. McCarren when McLaughlin refused his aid. A surprise was the low vote for Wm. D. Reyery, formerly chief of police at the county jail, for the fusion ticket, which was given practically no support. This result shows a tremendous change of public sentiment since Mayor Low's election two years ago, when he won by 2,632. At that time Queens, his plurality in Manhattan and the Bronx been 5,633 and Brooklyn 25,767, and in Richmond 768. In Queens, Shepard, democrat, had a plurality of 561. The McClellan carried Manhattan and the Bronx by about 58,000, a gain of 63,000; Brooklyn by about 6,000, a gain of about 23,000, and Queens by about 5,000, a gain of more than 23,000. In contrast, for McClellan of about 102,000, as compared with Shepard's vote of two years ago. Low carried only one borough Richmond, by about 200. New York. Nov. 5. -Complete office resumes make McCleskin's plurality 617. Herrick Made a Phenomenal Run In The Buckeye State. Columbus, O. N.cv. L—The republican plurality in Ohio is about 115,900 for governor and a majority in the legislature on joint ballot for senator is ninety-three. The there was a last night that there was a "handside" all the agencies for gathering official returns quit except Chairman Dick of the republican state committee, who yesterday secured reports from all senators. The night announced that Herrick republican, had carried sixy-two counties and John.on, democrat, twenty-six for governor, most of the latter by small and the former by greater than 990,000 Herrick received pluralities in the counties regregating 135,132 and John.on 20,476, so that Herrick had a net plurality in the state of 114,768 on estimates of 2,000 by the official count. The plurality on the rest of the republican state ticket will likely be from 4,000 to 5,000 less than that of Herrick. The total vote for Johnson was less than that of any candidate for governor for years. On the legislative ticket the democrats carried four less counties than for governor, or less than one-fourth.

Old Enough to Know Better Panama, Columbia, Nov. 4.—The independence of the instillum was proclaimed at 6 p. m. yesterday. A large and excited crowd of all political parties assembled and marched to the headquarters of the government troops, where Generals Tovar and Amaya, who arrived in them orning, were imprisoned in the name of the Republic of Panama. The enthusiasm was immediate, and at least 2,000 of the men in the gathering were armed. The battalion of Colombian troops at Panama favors the movement, which is also thought to meet with the government troops. The government transports now here. Noon of yesterday was the time mentioned for its active inauguration, but no event publicly antagonistic to the government of Colombia took place. The government is no longer been taken up as any antagonized disturbances. This seeming inactivity on the part of the government is looked upon as showing confidence in the reports made by General Obladia, the governor of the department of Panama, who has issued a statement for the adhesion promised to the government when it was reported that a revolutionary force was marching in the vicinity of Paname. In this manifesto the governor also thanked the inhabitants of the department for their cooperation in proofs of their patriotism and expressed the hope that they will maintain the same line of conduct, and thus save the government the painful duty of adopting stringent measures. The United States gobble Nashville arrived late Monday evening. Washington, Nov. 4.—There is a very general belief that the rejection of the Panama canal treaty by Colombia caused the people of the isthmus to decide to set up a government of their own, but none of the officials of the administration would issue any statements to the effect that this was the case. Colon, Colombia, Nov. 5.—At 7:20 o'clock last night the American blue jackets returned aboard the Nashville. Colonel Torres promised to maintain order. Without the firing of a shot and amid scenes of great enthusiasm the independence of the isthmus and the department of Panama was declared last evening. The city of Panama is now in the hands of revolutionists, and no serious attempt has been made to recapture it. The Colombian gunboat Bogota arrived in the harbor after the declaration of independence and threw a few shells into the city, without doing damage to life or property. Perfect order prevails in Colon to night, and trans-isthmian trains are running as usual without interruption. In Panama the flag of the new republic, in colors of red, white and blue, floats over the government buildings. A movement for independence has been in progress since the rejection by the congress at Bogota of the Hay-Herran canal treaty, but its sudden ripening last night was due to the news of the unexpected arrival at Colon of the Colombian gunboat Cartagena with Generals Tovar and Amiron. The movement has been promoted by prominent and wealthy ishmians, and Governor Obaldia of the department of Panama Tuesday, on computing the troops and citizens in favor of the independence, found that they numbered 10,000. The presence of the United States gunboat Nashville at Colon is believed to have resulted in the avoidance of serious trouble. As the result of a conference here Colonel Torres, commanding the troops at Colon, has sent on a special mission to confer with General Tovar, whose unconditional release is demanded. The British consul has suggested that if required, a contingent of troops will be sent to Colon from the British cruiser Amphion, now at Panama. New Republic Wants to Be Counted Amend Nations. Washington, Nov. 5- The state department yesterday received a formal request from the representatives of the revolutionary government at Panama that the United States recognize the new state of Panama, but, pending official advices from concular officers at Panama, the government has disbanded and is a de facto department, the state department declined to commit itself. However, attention was called to the fact that it is the inevitable policy of the United States to deal with defacto government in any way. This statement should be favorable to recognition should the new Panama government have an active existence. TO GRANT RECOGNITION. New Panama Republic Likely to Resign Reception Washington, Nov. 5—The Associated Press is informed that the president possibly will make a statement today regarding the provisional government of the republic of Panama, of the establishment of which this government was officially informed yesterday. In view of the latest advice from Colon, to the effect that the junta had succeeded in gaining control of the situation, it is currently expected that this government has established state, but official information on this point was not given out last night. A cabigram was received last night from the American consul at Colon saying the the Columbia troops, which arrived on the ground had said ARAY. Orders have been sent to the various naval commanders in the Carribean that the isthmus is be policed, the transit kept open and also that bioshield must be provided that the United States has ever gone herefore and in the opinion of the officials here indicates that the establishment of the new government at Panama, if the proves stable and orderly, will have good wishes for the recognition and cooperation in conducting an orderly and permanent government on the isthmus. Advocates of the construction of the canal say this assures the execution of that project. The dispatch received from Panama from the government of the new government of the republic of Panama stated that its action was in response to a popular and spontaneous demand on the part of the isthmus people and that the board was assured of the necessary military strength to carry out its determination. It was first intended to send a reply to the three consula, but after the conference last night it was decided that no announcement would be made as to the character of this reply until today. UNITED STATES BLAMED Germany Thinks This Country Brought On Columbian Revolution. Berlin, Nov. 6.—The theory as to the cause of the revolution, which is currently accepted in Berlin, is that the United States brought it about, with the intention of building the interoceanic canal. The Vossie Zeitung in taking this view, says: "The reason why the president waited two months after Colombia rejected the treat without negotiations with Nicaragua is now that the United States is finding an effective way of addressing codes by working behind the scenes." RUSSIANS LEAVE YALU. Reoccupation of Mukden Officially Confirmed at Tokio. Yokohama, Nov. 2.—It is officially reported at Tokio from Wiju, via Seoul from Yongmang, from Dushing from Yongmang, on the Yongmang and dismantling their fortress there, leaving only a small guard. The reoccupation of Mukden by the Mukden is officially confirmed at Tokio, where it has great great constation. Eighteen warships, representing various nations, are now gathered at Yokoka, in anticipation of the anniv. birth, with all will be celebrated today. London, Nov. 3——Ballina, Foo, the correspondent of the Morning Post says the majority of Russian warships in Chinese waters are between Talienwan and Hayangtaan Three Chinese cruisers left Chee-Foo yesterday, the correspondent goes on for the mouth of the Yalu river; this monument of Korean rights. The St. Peter's correspondent of the Daily Mail says that the Russian government does not expect war with Japan in any event before next spring, even should the negotiations fall. The correspondent at Shanghai of the Daily Telegraph is Tokaya learned from a reliable source in Tokyo, although the negotions in Beijing and Japan continue, Japan is inflexible, and a conflict, sooner or later, is regarded as inevitable. JEWS AND RUSSIANS FIGHT. Berlin, Nov. 3. — A dispatch to the Tagebilt from Posen says a bloody conflict between 500 Jews and a forces of Russian gendarmes took place at Warawar Saturday during the enlisting o recruits. The wounded on both sides numbered over forty several of whom sustained fatal injuries. Doctor — Well, Mrs. O'Brien, I hope you husband has taken his medicine regularly. Mrs. O'Brien — "Sure, then doctor. I have been絮晰 puxed. The label says, 'O'p' and for the life of me, I don't see how it can be taken more than once." "What is the difference between a minifortune and a calamity?" somebody once asked Diraclay. "Well, if Glastonbury fell into the Thames," she said, "that would be a minor, time; and if anyone pulled him out, that, I suppose, would be a calamity." The other day, an Irishman bought a copy of "Irish Melodies" at a second hand London book-store for a shilling. The bookies lavished, saw the bookies when, when the cited purchaser returned and, shaking his fat at him, cried: "I could kill ye for selling these immortal gems so cheap." At dinner in Boston, the other evening, the guests insisted upon George Ade, of "alzing table", fame, making a speech. Finally, in sheer desperation, after all the others present had sang songs, he said, "I will tell you of an excellent trick in parlor magic. You take a tumbler and fill it two-thirds full of filtered water. Then you insert in the water a lump of sugar and a spoon, and you begin to stir. In a few minutes the sugar will become invisible." A medley of young literary men were once gathered to meet Robert Browning. The most aggressively literary of the group was first introduced, and an emotional delight and admiration with so unceasing a flow that the other or introductions were being held in ablaze, and the other literary young men starred. Browning endured it with great good humor some time later, and with hand and foot feacationally on the egotist's shoulder, and said: "But I am monopolizing you." The story of how Chopin composed his famous "Funeral March" is related by M. Ziem, the celebrated painter, who still lives in Paris. Ziem was the friend and comrade of Chopin, and it was in the former's life that he gave with Ludre, De Polignac (the musician.) Richard the painter, Chevander de Valrone, and Chopin, as gay and festive spirits around the table. There was an old ricKEY piano in the corner, covered with pictures, for pictures, as Zim was poor, and had to economize. Behind a curtain was a skeleton, and this gave an idea to Zim, who brought the skeleton out, covered it with drapery, and began to play. The pianist Polignac then took the skeleton to the piano, and sat with it as though to make it play. It was at this moment that Chopin, who had been rather quiet, was seized with sudden joy, and he rushed forward to the piano, pushed aside De Polignac, improvised the world-famous "Funeral March." Mr. Spielmann, the art critic, tells the following story of Morland, the painter, who was popular enough to have his work forged in his lifetime: A dealer, unknown to him, employed Morland to paint so many paintings, that an upper floor of his (the dealer's) house, and begged that he would not trouble to paint for longer than the morning. The terms were good, and the artist, who was more than ever in want of money, readily agreed. But Morland was not so good as soon as he had left, on and from the very first day, the dealer introduced some six hack copies into the room with similar canvases, to reproduce exactly what the painter had done in the morning, and in the evening, copies were removed. Each day, until the completion of the picture, the process was continued, and, at the end of the engagement, the dealer not only possessed the original pictures, but six copies of each, produced stage costumes, and a lands' own. This, perhaps, accounts for some of the best copies extant. That Chicago millionaire is still after the ideal servant girl, but of course she left last week. Do Your Clothes Look Yellow?

Hinton, Ky., Nov. 2. - For over two years two of the best physicians in this part of the State have been treating Mr. E. J. Thompson, a popular local school teacher, for Diabetes. They told him that but little could be done to help him. He made up his mind to try a new remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and says: "They saved me when the doctors held out no hope. I took in all about ten boxes. I will always praise Dodd's Kidney Pills for the great good they have done for me." And soaze physicians, still persist in the belief that Diabetes is an incurable disease.

A sure cure for rheumatism has been discovered in Boyne, Mich. A little creek there possesses medical qualities which banish rheumatic pains from all who bathe in it. Invalids suffering from rheumatism go there from far and near, and a dozen baths effect a cure in most cases. Several new uses for paper have been discovered. Artificial teeth are made of it; a Lynn shoemaker employs it to make up muppets for boots; a shoemaker uses it as a system of converting it into tall hats; and for years it has been worn as clothing by the Japanese, the seams being pasted together.

"Up to a couple of years ago," says a business man of Brooklyn, N.Y. "I was as constant a coffee drinker as it was possible to be, indeed, my craving for coffee was equal to that of a drunkard for his regular 'nip' and the effect of the coffee drug upon my system was indeed deplorable. "My skin lacked its natural color, my features were pinched and my nevers were shattered to such an exerture to as to sender me very irritable. I also suffered from palpitation of the heart." "It was while in this condition I read an article about Postum Food Coffee and concluded to try it. It was not long before Postum had entirely ceased to serve it for coffee and in a short time I had entirely given up coffee for delicious Postum. "The change that followed was so extraordinary I am unable to describe it. Suffice it to say, however, that all my troubles have disappeared. I am my original happy self again and on the whole the soothing and pleasing effects produced by my cup of Postum make me feel as though I have been landed at another station."

The committee in charge of entertainment for the army post celebrations have announced that Admiral George Dewey will probably be one of the distinguished guests at the dedicatory ceremonies on Friday. Norwegian General Admiral Dewey and Chairman W. V. Wilcox there remains but little doubt that the hero of Manila will accept the urgent invitation which has been sent and represent the United States navy against Generals Young and Corbin and the prominent leaders in the army. As a result, the received Admiral Dewey will be given a place on the program for an address during the barbecue. The supreme court, in connection with the application of J. E. Fink of Des Moines county, who has been disbared by the Des Moines county bar, for reinstalment, holds that only district courts in which the disbarment occurred have jurisdiction in the county county district court, having induced a witness to false testimony. Fink said that the case was handled by his partner entirely. Unknown to him, disbarment proceedings were commenced in the Des Moines county district court, "From the application," reads the order of the supreme court, "we should have no doubt of Mr. Fink's right to an order for reinstalment, but such an order, when made, should be made by the applicant." The application is not for admission to the Applicant has already been admitted. What he wants is to be reinstated, or to have the judgment of disbarment set aside. This we cannot do, save on the original order. The court making the judgment which has jurisdiction to set it aside, save on appeal to this court. The court rendering a judgment of disbarment retains continuing jurisdiction over the subject, and may upon a further reformation or other satisfactory reasoner the disbarment reinstate him in the practice of his profession." Curator Charles Aldrich of the state historical department has asked for an appropriation of $100,000 for expenditure in 1954-5-6, and an increase in the appropriation for the working fund from $5,000 to $15,000. Curator Aldrich's cry is for additional room. The new building in which are located the state library is ready to too small and is cramped. The newspaper files, one of the most interesting and valuable possessions of the department, cannot be properly handled because there is no room for them. The library is filled. The law provides for removing the state library from its present quarters in the capitol to the rooms of the historical department, leaving the present quarters of the state library in the actual library, but the actual consolidation is prevented by lack of space. Samuel Trietten, who came all the way from Alberta, Canada, to Davenport, in search of a daughter who had run away from home to go on the stage, found her at the Orphen Theater, a low concert hall, where she was paid $7 a week to and encourage the generous purchase of drinks by the male patrons of the place. The girl had written home of illness and was unable to enjoy herself when her father appeared at the theater and took her away. She left for home with him.

Council Bluffs, Nov. 6—For the first time since Iowa's anti-trust law was enacted to a test in a contractive suit, in a lawsuit involving more than $7,000, the Port and Gold Mining company, an Iowa corporation, is resisting the collection of that amount by the American Bridge company because the latter company is alleged to be a trust and a corporation to be the great United States Steel corporation. The mining company admits the purchase of the steel but it declares A was not in accordance with contract and further, that the American Bridge company, from which it was bought, will acquire the American steel tree, trust, organized April 1, 1911, of purpose of combining in one great trust or pool all the large iron and steel manufacturing and bridge building companies in the United States controlling and regulating prices, re pressing competition and monopolize the market, and factories thousands of miles several hundred ocean and lake steamships, hundreds of thousands of acres of lands, 20,000 coke ovens and thousands of miles of pipe lines and railroads, and that this combination is engaged in manufacturing and selling the Iowa legislature enacted a statute, sections 5060, 5061, 5062, 5063 and 5064 of which declare that any trust or combination for the purpose of regulating, or fixing or limiting pro fiction is a conspiracy and this statute is asserted to provide that this company will not be held in any claim by such conspiracy or trust for goods or merchandise sold. The answer sets up that under this statement of facts and Iowa law the bridge company is not entitled to reclaim the property in its claim even if it was lustily owned. GOOD DOCTORS. GOOD NURSES.

Denison, Nov. 4.—Fire in the third story of the Wilson house completely wrecked that hotel yesterday morning. The fire broke out by a de- fense, and the fire was avenged, every room being occupied. Lord Cook turned his first attention to his guests, with the result that every one escaped with all personal belong- ings. Much of the furniture on the first floor was saved. The third story is completely burned, while the rest of the room was burned by water. Mr. Cook estimates his loss at $10, 000, one-half insured. The Wilson house, formerly the Jaeger house, was built twenty years ago and has been Denison's leading hotel. Cook has no plans as yet, but it is more than probable that a stock company will be formed and a brick hotel erected. IOWA BANK IS CLOSED. Sheldon State Bank in the Hands of a Receiver.

His words to his experience: "Sometime in September I was taken with a dull aching pain across the small of my back, directly over the kidneys. I paid small attention to it, but instead of getting better it became worse and in a short time the pain centered through my left hip and pain across the small of the back. It does not always show itself at first, but apologize at the way, when some unusual movement or action brings shap pains and exasperated schooled telling of sick kidneys. So Mr. Plangman's experience bore me out. Continuing, he says, "I did know the cause of the trouble, but I am led to believe now that it was first brought about by jumping in and out of the wagon and in some way I was constantly growing wores," he continues, "and I became very much alarmed about my condition. I knew that something had to be done or serious results had to be achieved, a specialist here in Sherman, and underwent a rigid examination."

Distributors for U. C. Address all communications for these women to the Eleanor Doyle, President of the Iowa State Federation, 71 Baskin street, Omaha, Iowa Mrs. Booker T. Washington's Missionary Work Among the Negro Housewives in the South. Onehas only to look out of the window of a passing train almost anywhere from Virginia to Louisiana to see the delapidated one room cabin which shelter a large proportion of the eight million descendants of slavery in this country today. In Alabama one can have an opportunity to see some successful results of the work of an enlightened woman common to the task of bettering the miserable conditions in the homes of our people. The name of this woman is Margaret Murray Washington. She is the third wife of the well known predeal of Tuskegee Institute, Booker T. Washington. You may see who has seen the outside, the inside of the inside, an Alabama cabin can appreciate the magnitude of the undertaking which confronts the reformer. From a roomless, often windowless, but where light and air are admitted solely through cracks, in the deliapsed four walls which five or six air persons are allowed to easily sheds water; where a bed with sheets and pillow cases as unusual as a glass window, and the family crawl in between some old covers without even taking the trouble to remove their scant clothing — from such an abode to a clean decent, well ventilated house is a long step, but this is only necessary if trying to accomplish, and in some cases has already achieved. In childhood, Mrs. Washington says, she ran away from a home little better than the worst of those she is trying to reform. To some strict but kindly Quakers, she was with them and subsequently sent her to a university, she owes her own training. In speaking of the way she started her missionary work, Mrs. Washington says that six or seven years ago she became impatient with the situation about eight miles from Tuskegee, where a settlement of twenty nong families lived in some old slave "quarers." When she first went to them five or ten persons were living in one room houses, and the children were with little or no nothing on them. "It was just like Africa," said Mrs. Washington. "I felt something must be done, so one day I went down there with a good stiff broom, determined to see what I could do. Then the most proactive of the lot had to hold a meeting, first suggesting that we sweep up the place in honor of the occasion. The sweeping I gave that room made the woman who lived it so ashamed of her own slack work that I have never since found it in the same condition. After my first visit, I was asked to show the ladies on the estate, showing the how women to improve the most unpromising surroundings and urging them to take an interest in the decency of their homes for their own sakes and the sake of their husbands and children. In the course of time the planter took care of these people work gave the use of an abandoned cabin for a "settlement house," where a young woman graduate of Tuskegee was sent to carry on the work that had already been started. Since that time I have raised sufficient funds to provide in its place a home for a young woman house on ten acres of adjoining land. The house is designed not only for a place for our meetings and classes, but is kept by Miss Davis, who lives there as an object lesson in housekeeping for the neighborhood. We are doing much good. Among the families of the settlement there is everywhere a marked prosperity to what it has been. Beds and walls are well kept. Crowded rooms and walls were used with clay. In many rooms or more rooms have been added. In fact, there was altogether an air of neatness and order in all of the homes." This plantation is only one of the many places Mrs. Washington is carrying on her work. In a building near the market square of the town of Tuskegee, where the negro framers come every Saturday, bringing the children with them. Washington holds mother meetings. She has a weekly attendance of sixty to one hundred women. There are two rooms in the building, one of which is fitted up with a cook house and bed for practice lessons, and the other is used as a meeting hall. The weekly earnings of the southern negro is scarcely enough to feed his family and the women who have much to keep home. Here at the mother's house I supply their whatever I can. It is astonishing how eager they are for sheets and pillow cases. The women who gather here are neatly dress'd, although there is a wide dissimilarity in their costumes, ranging from shawls and picturequeens sunbonnetes to straw hats and tunices of seabird/cat skin, squeezes of them to undertake to lace up their sleeves with calico stripes, there exist in every case a regard for appearance seldom found in a gathering of nero farmers wives. The Iowa State Federation has the honor of being the first Federation to help in the well begun work that has for its basis the salvation of home, wife, mother and children. In a recent letter from Ira Washington she says; may she be very glad indeed to have children both like and also some simple books for children. Everything that is needed in a large household is needed here. Shepherds cloth cases, clothes, towels, soak. books, magazines, etc., are all accept- able. Lend a hand. Here is a work in the uplift of the race. Let every club lend a hand and help our less favored sisters. BUXTON NEWS. Church Social and Business BUXTON NEWED The pressured effort at St. John's, A. M.
