DAN HICKS KILLED. In trying to awing himself off of Wabash train No. 4, as it was leaving the union station Saturday last night, "Dick" Hicks, living at 604 Vine street, was caught in a switch, dragged under the train and both legs cut off next to the body. Hicks had been on the train bidding a friend good bye. When the train started, he hurried to the door and at tempted to get off at a point about forty feet east of the cast line of Fifth street, on the side next to the station. His right hand was crushed; but, aside from that, he was not injured above the hips. One leg was so tightly wedged between the rails that one rail had to be pried loose before the remains could be moved. Mr. A. L. Corbet of Corydon, who was standing about twenty-five feet away, said: "I saw the man come the steps of the car and jump off," said Mr. Corbet. "If I am not maken he jumped off with his back to the engine, a very foolish thing to do, so it seemed to me. He seemed to catch his foot in some way. I can't tell how he managed to get it under the train, so he must have had to go in order for it to be caught as it was; but I saw him jerk himself a few times as if he was trying to pull loose, and then he was drawn under the wheels, and fell just as you see him." "Girl" Morton who was with Hicks and had jumped off the train just ahead of him, said that he heard the man call and looked down the track just in time to see him throw up one hand. Morton cannot explain just what happened. All that he is sure of is that he grabbed Hicks' bloody hand and tried to pull him up; but he says that the car seemed to strike his leg as the foot tightly into the switch, dragging Hicks under the wheels and appearing to wind his legs around them. The chair car and sleeper passed over him. Mrs Hicks was standing on the station platform when the accident happened, but was prevented from scophe her husband. Hika leaves a wife but no children. He was about 35 years old. He had been a barber by trade, but for some time had been working at about 40 jobs, some time as cook in restaurants. Lately he has been doing housecleaning, packing and such work. The funeral services were held at his home Monday afternoon and the remains were buried in Woodland cemetery. ENTERTAINING FICTION One advantage of reading a serial story in a daily newspaper is that an installment of convenient length is received every day that does not consume an undue amount of the reader's time. An installment of a high-grade serial story appears in every issue of the Chicago Record, Herald, a popular feature of that entering Chicago daily. Among the successful stories which have been recently enjoyed by Record-Herald readers are "Soldiers Fortune," by Richard Harding Davis; "The Thrall of Lief the Lucky," by Ottile Liljencrantz; "Triatram of Blent," by Anthony Hope, "When Knighthood was In花瓣," by Charles Majer; "Alice Old Vinecennes," by Maurice Thompson, and "Graustark," by George B. McCutcheon. Every issue contains also a short illustrated "human interest" story on the editorial page. Readers of The Record-Herald can depend upon a never-failing source of pleasant entertainment in the noteworthy fiction that is always to be found in its columns. IOWA CITY. The Halloween party given last evening at the home of J. B. Brown was a pronounced success. With the wails highly decorated with corn stalks grass, pumpkins and other characteristic Halloween features, the room presented a novel scene. Instead of brilliant electric lights, hideous jack o'lanterns turned the soft broken light for the rooms, and the guests dressed in the novel spook-like grab of Halloween added more to the scenic effect of the occasion. Each number of the informal program received an encore and a happy hand-clapping responded to every announcement of some favorite Halloween dance rendered by the Edward Carter Mandolin club. The feature of the evening was the baritone solo, "The Holy City," sung by Pope Harold of Marshball, Texas. The hostess, Miss Nora Brown was assisted in receiving by the Misses Beasle and the Mason. The out of town guests were Mr. and Mrs. Davis, Roy McClain of Chatham, Va., and Mr. Shaw of Richmond, Va., Mrs. Jackson of Washington, Iowa, Mrs. Redrick of Grinell, and Miss Delta Green of Memphis, Mo. The University students are Mr. Ed. Carter of Buxton, M. D. '07; Mr. David Lewis of Cedar Rapids, M. D. '07; Mr. Wesley Thomson, L. A. '04; Mr. Laurence Clyton Jones of St. Joseph, Mo. L. L.

EDITORIALS. The great victory that Hon. A. B. Cummins received at the recent election cannot be taken except as to show the popularity of the governor among the common masses, and his personal strength in Iowa especially, when we know that the corporations, trusts, and a few old ring politics have attempted to say that he was not so strong and popular as two years ago and that he was loosening friends. Even the state chairman of the republican committee only expected him to carry Iowa by about 60 or 65 thousand majority. His friends claim that he was just as popular and even more so than two years ago. His large plurality of 80,000 was due to his great ability and the many position that he has taken on the national questions, as the tariff, trust, reciprocity and race problem. That he is stronger, take the counties of Iowa and compare this years vote with two years ago: In Decatur county the republicans usually carry the county by about 200 plurality. This last election the entire republican county ticket was defeated from 45 to 150, but Gov. OUR GALLANT Stands For Human quality and No Special Privileges, But Fair PRESIDENT A special to the Chicago Inter Ocean, dated Washington, Oct. 31, gives out President Roosevelt's reply to Senator Gorman of Maryland touching the race and other questions. The special says: Washington, D. C., Oct. 31.—"If I could be absolutely assured of my election as President by turning my back on the principles of human liberty as enunciated by Abraham Lincoln I would be incapable of doing it, and unfit for President if I could be capable of doing it." This was President Roosevelt's comment to friends to-day on the speech of Senator Gorman last night, attacking him for receiving Booker T. Washington at the White House and inviting him to Cummins carries the county by 380, running ahead of the ticket. There can now be no question but what Governor Cummins is the strongest public man in Iowa, and in the future, as he has in the past, will continue to adorn and elevate the chief executive chair of our commonwealth. He is the brightest of Iowa's many noble sons that has yet appeared in the great arena as statesman and is the logical running mate next year with Roosevelt. His loca- tion, his oratorical ability, his broad ideas on public questions, his age, commending appearance and his great popularity in the middle West and West would bring an overwhelming success to the party next year. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. Again the chief executive of this nation speaks out in defense of human liberty and absolute equality, with no special privilege or class laws. In this week's issue we publish his letter, which is just as broad and strong for the equal rights of all, as if he was not a candidate for re-election. He is without doubt the best friend of the race that has ever sit in the Presidential chair. His broad and liberal ideas, noble heart, with a will power to do what he knows to be right, regardless of corporations or those Southern fire eaters who hate the intelligent colored man, cannot control or scare him by threats. He has done what all other presidents should have done—to simply do his sworn duty when he took the oath of office; yet all the other presidents would fail to do their sworn duty. Our race men sometimes think that the real American men have forgotten the real duty of human T PRESIDENT in Liberty, Univers- Equality. Treatment to All the People. ROOSEVELT remain to luncheon. The President continued: "I do not expect to be elected President by the special privileges; nor by the most radical labor union men, who would shut out all other men from an opportunity to work; nor by those who would close the door of hope against the colored man as a citizen. They are all demanding special privileges which cannot be recognized by the President, whose oath of office binds him to execute the laws for all alike and recognize none as above the law. If I am elected to this high office it must be on my record as the executor of the law without favors or discriminations." liberty as taught by the forefathers on the bleak New England hills and Plymouth Rock. But we predict that so long as we have such true, noble, high minded, liberty loving and out spoken statesmen as President Roosevelt, Ex-President Cleveland, Justice Brewer, Governor Durbin, Yates and Carnegie, we as race men need have but little fear but what an equal opportunity will ultimately be granted the good, worthy and honest of our race. Price, Five Cents. We received the sad intelligence of the death of Mr. Robert Good, one of the pioneers of Leon, Decatur county, Iowa. She died last Saturday. Mrs. Good has many friends in this city and state who will be pained to learn of her death. We extend condolence. We publish what the Decatur County Journal says: Mrs. Robert Good "Boastnot thyself of tomorrow for thou knowest not what a day may bring fourth." This is not only the language of scripture but it is the language in which every day experience expresses itself as well. A single day may not be long but it is long enough for death to play sad havoc, as we find in this instance. Aggie Vennreble was born in Richmond, Ray county, Mo., on April 2, 1850, and died at her late residence in Leoon, Iowa, November 7, 1903, being 53 years, 7 months and 5 days old. Her early life was spent in her native state. In the year 1872 on the 25th day of December she was united in marriage to Robert Good. When 27 years of age she united with the M. E. church of which she has been a consistent member until her death. In 1875 the deceased with her family located in Leon: Mrs. Good has always enjoyed the respect and confidence of the community in which she lived. Her christian character has been irreproachable. Her kindness of heart and charisability of disposition has brought cheer to many hearts in distress. For many years she has been an invalid but death came nevertheless suddenly and unexpectedly. She ceased at once to live and went to be with God. May the influence of her life prove a benediction to all who know and loved her. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. I. N. Woodward of the M. E. church on Sunday, Nov. 8th. The remains were carried to their last resting place in the Leon cemetery by members of the Grand Army Post. The Grand Jury of St. Clair county, Ill., have indicted fourteen of the leading citizens of Belleville for assisting to lynch David Wyatt, the colored school teacher last June, and when they have their trial the first of January it looks as though some of the good Christians in that locality will have a chance to break into jail, or into the pen at Joliet. —Broad Ax, Chicago. BURLINGTON, IOWA. On Friday of last week Mr. Ollie Folks met with a sad accident while delivering for Chas. Weis out on West Hill. The bridle broke and the horse started at a break-neck speed down Green street, sausage, weeses, wblogs and liverwurst were scattered from one end of the block to the other. Mr. folks made a fruitless attempt to capture the fleeing animal; his cap went one way, his pipe, which he never forgets to carry, another and his eyes could have been knocked off without ever touching his nose. A lady hearing the racket came to her door to see ipoor "Oil" chasing up the street. He stopped and asked to use her phone, she told him to go into the dining room, but the poor fellow was so excited that he had a great deal of trouble in finding the right room. MUSCATINE NOTES.

MUST RATIFY CUBAN TREATY NATION'S HONORAT STAKE Chief Executive Declares the United States Has Commitd itself to the Policy He Outlines —Advantages of the Tranity Made Plain. Washington, Nov. 10.—President Roosevelt's message, explaining the object of the special session of Congress, read to the Senate and House of Representatives this afternoon, is as follows: To the Senate and House of Representatives: sensitive: I have convened the Congress that it may consider the legislation necessary to put into operation the commercial treaty with Cuba, which was ratified by the Senate at its last session and subsequently by the Cuban government, demanded not only by our interest, but by our honor. We cannot with propriety abandon the course upon which we have so wisely embarked. When the acceptance of the Platt amendment was required from Cuba by the action of the Congress of the United States, this government thereby definitely committed itself to the policy of treating Cuba as occupying a unique position as regards this country. It was provided that when the island became a free and independent republic, she should stand in such close relations with us as in certain other countries, and our team of international policy and it necessarily followed that she must also to a certain degree become included within the lines of our economic policy. Situated as Cuba is, it would not be possible for this country to permit the strategic abuse of the island by any foreign military power. It is for this reason that certain limitations have been impressed upon her financial policy and that naval stations have been conceded by her to the United States. The negotiations as to the details of these naval stations are on the eve of completion. We have no doubt that any idea that there is the intention to use them against Cuba, or otherwise than for the protection of Cuba from the assaults of foreign foes and for the better safeguarding of American interests in the waters south of us. Advantages of the Treaty. These interests have been largely increased by the consequences of the war with Spain and will be further increased by the building of the Italian embassy in the United States and economic. The granting to us by Cuba of the naval stations above alluded to is of the utmost importance from a military standpoint, and is proof of the good faith with which Cuba is treating us. Cuba has made great progress since her independence was established. She has advanced steadily in every way. She already stands high among her sister republics and is the only one observing her obligations to us; and she is entitled to like treatment by us. The treaty submitted to you for approval secures to the United States economic advantages as great as those given to Cuba. Not an American interest is sacrificed. By the treaty a large Cuban market is secured to our producers—a market which lies at our doors, which is already large, which is especially important to the development of our export trade. It would be indeed short sighted for us to refuse to take advantage of such an opportunity and to force Cuba into making arrangements with other countries to our disadvantage. This reciprocity treaty stands by itself. It is demanded on consideration of our national policy as by our economic interests. It will do harm to no industry. It will benefit many industries. It is in the interest of our people as a whole, both because of its importance from the broad standpoint of international policy and because economically it intimately concerns us to develop and secure the rich Cuban market for our farmers, artisans, merchants and manufacturers. Finally, it is desirable nation toward her young sister republic to the south, whose welfare must ever be closely bound with our. Our Duty to the island. We gave her liberty. We are knit to her by the memories of the blood and the courage of our soldiers who fought for her in war; by the memories of the wisdom and integrity of our administrators who served her in position and the difficult path of selfgovernment. We must help her onward and upward; and helping her, we shall help ourselves. The foregoing considerations caused the negotiation of the treaty with Cuba and its ratification by the senate. They now, with equal force, support the legislation by the congress which by the terms of the treaty is necessary to render it operative. A failure to enact such legislation would come perilously near a repudiation of the pledged faith of the nation. I transmit herewith the treaty, as amended by the senate and ratified by the senate, THEODORE BOOSEVELT White House, Nov. 10, 1903. Mr. Hunter—What is your favorites wild game?

House.—The house of representatives of the Fifty-eighth congress today held its first session and except for the naming of committees, which will follow later, organization was assigned to the members of the boards, whose elevation to the speaker-ship was assured months ago, was formally elected speaker and inducted into office. Mr. Cannon received the applause of democrats and republicans for his speech, and the authority of demonstration being most complimentary to the newly elected speaker. The old officers were re-elected and the customary resolutions adopted providing for the appointment of committees to notify the president of the convention of a speaker and clerk, and a committee to join a senate committee to notify the president of the presence of a quorum in the two bodies. The hour of meeting was fixed for 15 o'clock. The rules of the Fifty-eighth congress were added to the Fifty-eighth congress by an aye and nay vote of 191 to 165. Washington, Nov. 10—Benson. Today's session of the senate was devoted exclusively to the reading of the president's message and affection for his wife, the Cuban treaty were referred to the committee on foreign relations. House—Immediately after the house had been called to order the message the senator read, the speaker announced the committee on rules as follows: The speaker, Dalzell, republican Pennsylvania; Grovenor, republican Ohio; Williams, democrat, Mississippi; McCormick, democrat, Mississippi. As a mark of respect for the memory of Mr. Forderer, of Pennsylvania, and Mr. Boering, of Kentucky, the house adjourned. Washington, Nov. 11—House. The house was in session only five minutes today. No business was transacted. NOMINATION OF CANNON. Republican Caucus Names Him as Speaker of the House. Washington, Nov. 8.—At the caucus of the republicans members of the house of representatives held in the hall of the house last night Rep representative Joseph G. Cannon of Illinois was unanimously chosen as speaker of the house. This action assures his election Monday. Representative Hepburn of Iowa was elected presiding officer of the caucus and Representative Dallzell of Iowa was elected secretary. The roll call showed 180 members present. Representative Dallzell of Pennsylvania placed Mr. Cannon as nomination. After Representative Sherman of New York had seconded it, the selection was made. A com-mission of the House of Representatives Homemore of Indiana, Sherman of New York, and Mann of Illinois, appointed by the chairman, proceeded to the appropriations committee room and there notified Mr. Cannon of the action of the caucus. He was escorted into the chamber where he was greeted with applause. He briefed the caucus for the honor conferred upon him. A resolution was adopted making the elective officers of the house in the last congress the pinnies of the caucus for the Fifty-eight congress of the House; Henry Gasson,orgent at arms; Frank B.

The Promotion of the Admiral. Mr. Smith, who ran a sailors' boarding-house in that part of San Francisco, always absolutely su generis. If any drunken scalaward of a scholar, who had drifted ashore on his boarding-house mud-flat, had ventured in a moment of alcoholic reminiscence to say so in the classic tongue, Shanghai Smith would have "laid him out cold" with anything handy, from a stone-ware match-box to an empty cup. He had used his mother tongue, as altered for popular ase in the West, and had murmured: Jerusalem, but Mr. Smith's the daisy m all! Smith would have thrown out his chest and blown through his teeth a windy oath and guessed he was just so. "Say it and mean it, that's me," said Smith. "I'm all right. But call me and I am hog; don't you forget Appasently all the world called him "bog." For that he was no better than one, whether he walked, or ate, or drank, or slept, was obvious to any sailor with an open eye. But he was not a man of the sea. The bull-headed courage of a mad steer combined with the wicked cunning of a monkey. "Don't never play upon me," he said often. "For 'get even' is my mother. There slickn't walkin' this earth that can say they bested me, not from the time I left Britain in the old dart till now. I'm known the wide world over." So far as ships and sailors were concerned he certainly spoke the truth. He was talked of with curses in the Pacific from the Pryblioffs to the Horn from San Francisco to Zanzibar. He was long odds at any given time in any longitude that some seaman was engaged in blaspheming Shanghai Smith for sending him on board drunk and without a chest, and his new shipmates with than a bottle of vinegar and water that looked like rum till it was tasted. Every breeze that blew, trade wind or monsoon, had heard of their inigusties. He got the best of everyone. "All but one," vald Smith in a moment of weakness, when a dozen men, who owed to much money that they crawled to him as a Chinaman does to a joss, were hanging upon his lips—"all but one." "Oh, we don't take that in," said canary indeed; "we can certainly believe that, Mr. Smith." Sometimes this unusual flattery would have ended in the flattering be thrown out. But Smith was now gently reminiscent. "Yes, I was done brown and never got the best of one swine," said the boarding-house keeper. "I don't ask you to believe it, for I own it don't sound likely, me being what I am. But there was one swab as give me a He looked them ever malignantly. hidin', and he give it me good, so he did." He looked them over malignantly. "I kin lick any of you here with one hand," he awure, "but the man as bested me could have taken on three of you with both hands. And I own I was took aback considerable when I run against him on the pier at Sandridge when I was in Australia fifteen years ago. He was a navy officer, the Warrior, the Warrior, up to kill, though he had a face like a figure-head cut out of mahogany with a broad aurea. And I was foolish." What the Rothschilds are to Paris and London, so are the Bielechroeders to Berlin—that is, a power in the financial world. The ladies of the great financial families of Europe enjoy all the privileges and have none of the crushing responsibilities of royalty. Almost invariably they rise to the occasion and the charitable works organized by them may be said to be as limitless in number as they are in scope. This has always been as true of the wives and daughters belonging to the house of Bielechroed as it is of the women who bear the honored names of Rothschild, of Goldsmid and or Mocatta.

I shoved him. Down he went, and the girls that knew me laughed. And two policemen came along quick. I didn't care much, but this naval jossers pick himself up and goes to 'em. Would you believe it, but when he'd spoke a bit I seed him donate that about a dozen dollars of damage on his head, a heap of damage on the wharf and the captain buttoned up his coat and came for me. I never seen the likes of it, he comes up dancin' and smilin', and he kind of give me half a bow, polite as you like, and inside of ten seconds I knew I'd struck a cyclone, right in the spot where they breed. I fight good—you know me—and I got in half a dozen on his face. But I never faxed him none, and he wouldn't bruise morn' hittin' a boiler. And every time he got back on me I felt as if I'd been hurt. He scared me something cruel. I could see it by the blood on his face, and he wouldn't make of his fists was made of teak, I should say. And in the end, when I seemed to see a ship's company of naval officers around me, one of them hit me under the ear and lifted me up. And another hit me whilst I was in the air, and a third landed me as I fell. And that was the end of it, so far I remember. When I came to, which was next day in a kind of sailors' hospital, I reached up for a card over my head, and I read 'concussion of the brain' on it. What's more, I believed it. If the card had let on that I'd been run over by a traction wheel, so he could be wreathed. I believed it. And when I really came to my senses, a medical student says as Captain Richard Dunn of the Warrior had bin to inquire when the funeral was, so he could send a wreathed. They said he was the topside fighter in the hull British Navy. And I'm here to say he was." "And you never got even?" asked the bartender, seeing that no one took up the challenge. "Never set eyes on him from that day to this," said his boss regretfully. "And if you did?" Smith paused, took a drink. "So help me, I'd Shanghai him if he was King of England!" and one of the crowd, who had put down the Francisco Chronicle in order to hear this yarn, plecked it up again. "Selp me, he said, in a breathless excitement, 'ere's a bally cohnlidence. Ere's a telegram from 'Squmault, saying as how the flagship Triumphant, Hadmiral Sir Richard Dunn, K.C.B. is comin' down to San Francisco!" "Holy Moses, let's look!" said Shanghai Smith. He read, and a heavenly smile overspread his hard countenance. He almost looked good, such joy was his. He looked at the crowd, "set up the drinks for the crowd. This is my man, for sure. And him an admiral too! Holy sailor, ain't this luck?" He went out into the street and walked to and fro rubbing his hands, while the men inside took their drink, and looked through the uncleanned windows at the boss. "Holy Mackinaw," said Billy, who had drifted West from Michigan, I reckon never to nev seen Mr. Smith so pleased since he shipped a crowd in the Harvester, and got 'em away that night and shipped 'em in the Silas J. Jones." "He's struck a streak o' luck in his mind," said one of the seamen; "and it's this 'ere hadmalr. Now, mark it 'ere wouldr. 'ere were hadmalr for the sake of California. Mr. Sir Blooming Hadmal, K.C.B, ot setterer, is going to aave 'a time." He shook his head over the melancholy fate of a British admiral. "Rot!" said one of the younger men; "lain't possible to do nothin' to the likes of an admiral. Now. If 'was a lieutenant or a captain, I'm not sayin' as Mr. Smith mightn't do somethin'. But an admiral——" "You mark me," said the older man, "I'd rather be as green grass and ship as an able-bodied seaman with Billy Yates of the Wanderer, than be in that hadmirals shoes. What do you say, Tom!" Tom filled himself up a drink and considered. "Waal," he answered after a long pause, it's my belief that it won't necessary be all pie to be an admiral if the boss is half the man he used to be. For you see its quite evident he has a special kind of respect for this man and that Mr. Smith has been done by anyone that he respects, he don't ever forget. What you know yourself that if one of you goes to do him, he'd forgive you right after he'd kicked the stuffing out of you." This clear proof that Mr. Smith did not respect them and was kind Illustrated Victim of Overwork. One of the busiest women on earth, Signora Mathilde Serao, the Italian novelist, has worked herself into a bad attack of nervous prostration. She began life as a telegraph operator in Rome, but took to literature, and after years of incessant work found herself on the summit of success. In England she she contributed daily to a leading Italian paper, entitled a review of her own work, extensively, sailed a yacht, did a good deal of traveling and maintained close personal supervision of a large family of children. This amazing amount of work resulted in a complete collapse of the signora's nerve system and she is now in absolute seclusion. Lose Egyptian Trade.

The city of Davaig, in which Schop enhancer was born, has no monument to him. received without a murmur. And as the boss did not return, the tide of conversation drifted in the carrower, more personal channels of the marvels that had happened in the "last ship." And in the meantime H.M. M. A. known familiar to the Pacific Coast station "the Nonseuch, two Rear-Admiral Sir Richard Dunn, K.C.B., to his fate is San Francisco. "Was there ever such luck—was there ever such luck?" murmured Mr. Shanghai Smith. "To think of him turnin' up, all of his own accord, on my particlar stampin' ground! And I'll lay odds she's clean forgot me. No, I brighten up his memry with sand and canvas and canvas-mouli-mouli, so I will! Holy sailor, was there ever such luck!" The morning of the following day H.M.S. Triumphant lay at her anchors off Succello in San Francisco Bay and was glad to be there. There was a wet ship with playful habit of trying to scoop the Pacific Ocean and, though our tricks would have broken our trusts the Chief Naval Architect had he seen at them, she was the flagship in spite of her conduct, because at that time she was the whole Pacific Squadron. The "Sic, it's the penitentiary!" other half was lying outside Esquimalt Dry Dock waiting for it to be finished. And when the Chronicle said that "Dicky Dunn" was the admiral, it had not lied. If any of paper's reporters had known "Dicky" as his men knew him, he would have spread himself in a column on the admiral's character and personal appearance. "He's the dead-split of a boson's mate, to be sure," said the crew of the Triumphant when they received him at Esquimalt. "An 'ard nut he looks!" And a "hard nut" he certainly was. Though he stood five feet nine in height, he looked two inches less, for he was as broad as a door and as sturdy as forore-bitts. His completion was the color of the sun when it sets in a fog for fine weather; the skin on his hands shone and was as pale as the sun and his eyes piercing. He could roar like a fog-horn, and sing, as the crew said, "like any angel." There wasn't the match of "Dicky" any of the seas the wide world over. The only trouble was that he looked so much like the traditional sailor and buccaneer that no one could believe he was anything higher than a warrant officer at the most when he had none of his official gear about him. Though the admiral did not know it, he was able to catch him when he set his foot on dry land at the bottom of Market Street was the man he had licked so roughly fifteen years before in Melbourne. "Oh, it's the same," said Smith to his chief runner, who was about the "hardest case" in California. "He ain't changed none. Just so old he was when he set about me. Why, the galot might be immortal. Mark him, now; will you know him anywhere?" "It don't pay me ever to forget," replied the runner. He had to remember the men who owned him grudges. "Then don't forget this one," said Smith. "Do you find me a considerate boss?" "Oh, well——" said the runner ungraciously. "You've got to do a job for me, Billy." "And what?" "I'm goin' to have this hyer admiral shipped before the stick on the toughest ship that's about ready to go to sea," replied Smith. Billy filmed. "Sir, it's the penitentiary!" (To be included.) Decidedly. Otherwise. The two young persons had consented for a consideration to stand on an elevated platform in the open air and be married in the presence of the immense crowd at a street fair. After the ceremony was over their friends surrounded them. "Won't it dreadfully embarrassing?" were asked. "Embarrassment" schooled the bridegroom, with a broad pin. "I should say not. It relieved the embarrassment. We'd have been married a month ago if I'd had money enough to preach a sermon." Henry Irving's Tact. Henry living once preached quibls a tense sermon on appropriate dressing. A clear young woman belonging to his company appeared at a rehearsal one morning dressed in a lovely gown and aunning hat. Irving commented on the unusual splendor of her getup, when the woman actedress explained that she went to a swell luncheon that afternoon and saved time by dressing in advance. "Then run away to the luncheon first, my dear young lady," said the star "Just now your mind, too, is dressed up for the luncheon and not for work. When you come to rehearsal come looking the part." The young woman, who is now a star, never forgot the lesson which she learned that morning. A Hint of Force. In Paris early in the last century the beautiful Mme.

UP ROCK ISLAND Threatened to Use Dynamite Unless Given One Thousand Dollars. PROBABLY LACKED THE NERVE At Any Rite the Scheme Failed and Two Suspects Are in Custody of the Authorities, One of Them Badly Wounded. Des Moines. Nov. 9.—In the hope of capturing a gang of up-hold men, the Rock Island railroad sent a special train, bearing a number of armed officers, from Council Bluffs to Des Moines last night, following No. 6, which reaches here at 10 o'clock. The general offices of the road had received an anonymous letter threatening the system with dynamite unless $1,000 were thrown from the location of No. 6. somewhere between Council Bluffs and Des Moines, the place to be designated by the explosion of torpedoes. Either the criminals suspected that the officers of the Rock Island had the nerve to attempt their capture or the demand was a hoax in the first place, for the torpedoes were not exploded and the force of officers and bloodhounds had caught to do. When No. 5, wrest, bound in Des Moines yesterday morning at 8:30 o'clock a white flag was noticed tied to the draw bar of the rear coach. Naturally the peculiar signal was a matter of comment among railroad men, and the idea soon gained considerable prominence in Des Moines that the flag had something to do with information leaked out is a mystery. As a matter of fact it did. The criminals who had written the anonymous and threatening latter to the road's general offices had to be thrown from the engine of No. 6, not later than last night; and that if the road expected to comply with the demand it should display on No. 5, all the way from Davenport to Council Bldg. it would be attached to the draw bar of the rear coach. The criminals stated that if this signal were displayed they would assume that the money would be ready and that the engineer would pedoes under the engineer's side of the locomotive of No. 6 last night; they directed that when the exploiter showed up on the bus he should throw on $1,000 in his bill, it being attached to a lighted fuse. It was also provided that he should not even slack the speed of his locomotive. The officials proceeded to set a trap for the hold-up men, but they desolated Moines, Nov. 9—Engineer irons, of No. 25, on the Rock Island railroad, it was said last evening, and reported to the officials of the system yesterday that his locomotive an over and exploded three torpedoes shortly before 9 o'clock Saturday night. Unquestionably these were the three torpedoes which the officers of the system had been notified would be placed on the track as an indication if the place at which $1,000 should be thrown on train No. 6, Saturday night, or on threats of a hold-up in an anonymous letter received at Chicago days ago. As soon as the Rock Island learned of Engineer irons' experience the officers immediately aranged to make a force of armed men, gathered the train west to Dexter, but this action resulted in no discoveries. Des Moines, Nov. 10—Two men were captured by the Rock Island officers who went to Earlham, Sunday night, and were engaged in plating to hold up pallets. The was shot in the head and at the Mercy hospital. The other, James Murphy, is in the city jail. The officers do not claim now to have any evidence against the men, connecting either to the attack or $1,000 from No. 6. Saturday night. The wounded man will not talk. Murphy says he is a pedestrian from Dakota, seeking a warmer climate. Further, he will not talk. He was caught without trouble. The man who hounds in the timber two hours after he was shot. It is supposed he was hit by the bullets of a track walker, who fired at a man skulking along the line three miles east of Dexter in the timber, but who succeeded in running into the timber as though he was not hit. Murphy was brought in by the officers yes-erday soon rite noon. The wounded man was brought in at 11 rock and was taken to Mercy hospital. The special hearing in arm of officers returned to the city at 4 p.m. yesterday, but all officers and the owner of the hounds remained here under orders. Ms. Moinea, Nov. 11—Orders have been given by Detective McLaughlin, special officer for the Rock Island in this city, providing for the release of James Murphy, who was arrested in the woods in the vicinity of Earlham by the searching party who A Colony of Widows Of thirty residences on Norman street, a pretty thoroughfarn of Harrington, Del. thirteen are occupied by widows.

The attack was at Mercy hospital still refuses to talk. Danger notes from the offices in this city have been posted at the stations all along the line, ordering all trains to be moved with extreme caution, that the engineers shall approach all obscure places with the train and that all trains will be reduced while passing bridges. Omaha, Nov. 12.—A man named Miller with dynamite on him was arrested here yesterday on suspicion of having knowledge or connection to Pond Island invasion. Generally it is believed he had nothing to do with the Rock Island affair. Miller claims his home to be in Michigan, but refuses to give any explanation of the dynamite in his possession. $250,000 FIRE AT ALBIA. Started at Night While a Fierce Wind Was Blowing. Albia, Nov. 13.—With two fires raging at once, bounced by a terrific gale, Albia's best business section was laid waste yesterday morning and did not cease until $250,000 damage had been wrought. From 2 o'clock until well toward noon the two fires raged furiously, the two local firefighters from Charlton, but they were utterly powerless to combat the deadly onward march of the flames, supported by the heavy wind. The first fire started in the base- ment of Love's dry goods store. No one knows how it started and it was destroyed everything in its path for a half block north from the southwest corner of the square.

ARMOURS TO STAND TRIAL Judge Howe of Polk County Upholls Anti-Black Color Law. Des Moines, Nov. 12.—Judge Howe of the district court yesterday rendered a decision against the Armour Packing company, holding that the second indictment which has been returned against the company by the Polk county grand jury is legal. The Armour company is accused on the ground that in it the names of the persons to whom the defendant company is alleged to have sold imitation butter in violation of the anti-color law of this state are not. This is the second indictment returned against the company as the result of the efforts of the state dairy commissioner to apprehend all violations of the trial of the case the jury disagreed. On the second trial the verdict was one of guilty, by the Armour company secured the resubmission of the case to the grand jury, with the return of the second indictment was returned. Arguments on the demurrer were made before Judge Howe last Saturday and yesterday he announced his decision. It will be of interest to all dairymen and butter dealers, inasmuch as the judge gives his construction of the Iowa dairy laws, which he upholds in every particular. Competition in Manchuria COMPETITION in MARICOPA. In four lines—cotton goods, kerosene, lumber and flour—American goods are met in Manchuria. Russia has an advantage in selling lumber and will buy most active rival. In these lines in the general trade of China.

In cotton goods, while her trade is grow-ing, it is handicapped by inability to meet American prices. The Bishon and the Gamin. Rt. Rev. George Kinsolving, Protestant Episcopal bishop of Texas, is a giant in stature. On one occasion he was in Philadelphia when a wild west show happened to be in town. He was swinging along the street one afternoon, when he stopped to buy a newspaper. The newsboy looked at the massive figure, surmounted by a big slouch hat, and said: "Say, mister, you are not Texas BILL?" "No, my boy, you are not," was the bishop's laughing reply. "I'm Texas George"—Chicago Chronicle. It is related that a woman, who visited the British Museum recently, said to an attendant: "I have been cooking about for a skull of Oliver Cromwell. Have you no skull of Cromwell? I have no skull of an assistant questioned. How very old, she exclaimed; "they have a fine one in the museum at Oxford." On his first visit to London, an Aberdeen youth visited a refreshment room where an officer, said to the waiter: "Hi, man, gie me jin y'o tha."

I asked the waiter, 'What asked the wandering Aberdonian; 'man, we slide an skate on' in Aberdeen! James M. Barrie, the novelist, has so patience with reporters who try to cry into his private affairs. On one occasion he was asked to pen a short autobiography. At first he refused, and then when the reporter began to oak him, he stopped him, took up his笔, and wrote as follows: "On arrival in London it was Mr. Barrie's first encounter with a collection of illegal books. Though our name of 'My Lady Nicotine' does not himself smoke, his grocer's message-boy does. Mr. Barrie's pet animal is the whale. He he'd on it rope chestnuts." Has He Found It? Polk, Ark. Nov. 9.—A remedy that absolutely cure Rheumatism has been discovered by Mr. George Hiland of this place. Mr. Hiland is satisfied that the remedy he has used is a sure cure, for it cured him of a very serious case of Acute Rheumatism when he was so bad that he could not move. This is what he says: "I was troubled with what is called Acute Rheumatism in 1900. I was in such shape that I could not move without help. I was treated by a physician, who helped me some, but I was still dazed. I was told that Dr. Dewey of the Kidney Pills advertised as a cure for Rheumatism. She insisted on my trying them, and I felt better after taking the first box, I continued and now I am well and able to work all the time. I have found Dodd's Kidney Pills to be just what they are claimed to be, a perfect cure for Rheumatism." Mr. Hiland's very positive statement seems to settle all doubt as to whether or not Rheumatism can be curved. Twelve years ago there were 2,000 Japanese in the United States. Today there are 24,300.

What happy days are those when all our friends say, "How well you look." We can bring those days by a little care in the selection of food just as this young man did. "I had suffered from dyspepsia for three years and last summer was so severe that I attended school!" he says; "I was very thin and my appetite at times was poor, while again it was craving. I was dizzy and my food always used to forment instead of digesting. Crossness, unhappiness and nervousness were very prominent symptoms. "Late in the summer I went to visit a sister and there I saw and used Grape-Nuts. I had heard of this famous food before, but never was interested enough to try it, for I never knew how really good it was. But when I used Grape-Nuts in our household all the time and I soon began to note changes in my health. I improved steadily and am now strong and well in every way and am back at school able to get my lessons with ease and pleasure and can remember them too, for the improvement" in my mental power is "very strong." But in my studies which always seemed difficult before. "I have no more of the bad symptoms given above but feel fine and strong and happy, and it is mighty pleasant to hear my friends say: 'How well you look.'" Named by Fortum Co., Bad Creek, Mich.

PINKHAM: I was married for several years and no children blessed my home. The doctor said I had a complication of female troubles and I could not have any children unless I could be cured.

Loud and urgent are the calls from western farms and orchards for scores of thousands of wage earners for the harvesting of the crops and the garnering of the fruits. But too many others trample and begain in our cities, and in the country regions also turn deaf ears to such appeals and refuse tempting opportunities to earn honest and comfortable living. The vagrant spirit, the "dead-bear" desire to get along without working, is too conspicuous everywhere.—New York Tribune. Royal Millinery Company's ALL WEEK JOHN L. THOMPSON, Attorney-at-Law.
