CARL KAHLER SHOE CO., 519 Walnut St. DES MOINES. IOWA. EDITORIALS. BUSINESS FAILURE The Beautiful Odd Follows' Temple Was Sold at Sheriff Sale—A Great Financial Loss to the Ease. Last week the New York Age announced that foreclosing propeedings terminated the career of the Odd Fellows Temple. This beautiful structure, which was a credit to any race, was located at 158 and 160 W. Twenty-ninth street, New York City, was sold at public auction Oct. 30, for $60,-000.00. Thus we loose a very valuable piece of property; away goes thousands of dollars invested in this building by many members of our race, who even were not members of the Odd Fellows' order, but men and women who invested all their hard earned money into this worthy race enterprise, hoping some day to realize a profit from their investment, at least if they did not realize an income their children would. At first the hall brought in an annual income of $9,000.00, expenses $5,500.00; but as the New York Age says that jealousy, dissension, "I can't," "you shan't," was the chief cause of its downfall. We feel sorry for this financial disaster. The race need more honest, good business men who know the right and will do it. DR. D. W. CRUM AGAIN FOR APPOINTMENT. Our brave, honest and uncompromising President has re-appointed Dr. Crum of Charleston, S. C., to be Collector of Customs at the port of South Carolina. We now wait the action of our Republican Senate for confirmation—it being the second time that the President has appointed Dr. Crum—the Senate committee having once last year rejected confirmation. We hope the new Senate, especially the Republican members, will stand by the President in upholding the true Republican principles, and do not vote against Dr. Crum on account of color or because of the threats of Negro haters, such as Tillman, Gorman, Money, et al. FT. RILEY MANEUVERS. Ninth Cavalry and Texas Company Clash—Related by Eye Witness. Last month the annual manuvering of the U. S. army was held at Ft. Riley camp, Kans. There were about 12,000 soldiers in the manuvers, some from nearly all states and territories. There was a little trouble between the Texas soldiers and a part of the Ninth Cavalry, of course the newspaper reporters tried to suppress the little unpleasantness. The facts were substantially this, as told to the editor of the BYSTANDER by one of our Iowa soldiers who was there and saw the whole alteration. He said that one of the Iowa Companies had a young white boy, about 17 years old, as servant. The second evening this white boy went over to the famous colored company to visit, as is customary at certain times. He was talking with a colored soldier when a couple of Texas soldiers came along and asked the white boy why had he stopped to talk to niggers for; the boy gave them a short answer, for which the Texas soldier knocked the boy down. The colored soldier could not stand to see the boy thus treated, whereupon he took his gun and knocked the Texan over the head, splitting his head so badly that he was taken to the hospital where he has not yet recovered. This started the Texas soldiers, they made threats that they would clean up the Negroes and none should pass their camp. The Iowa boys came to the rescue of the colored boys. The colored went down to the Texas camp and beat a few of them up and walked through their quarters. From that on the Texas boys would gladly speak and extend courtesies. It was a dear lesson, but they got what they needed. After this incident the Iowa boys would die for the colored boys. REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE. Senator M. A. Hanna of Ohio has issued a call for members of the National Republican committee to meet in Washington, D.C., December 12, to select the date and place of holding the next National Convention. There will only be one colored member on that committee, since James Hill, late of Mississippi died, and that is Colonel W. H. Pledger of Georgia. While in the American Congress we have not even one colored member, yet there are two contesting their seats; such is what disfranchisement has done for us in the South. A MAMMOTH HOLIDAY ISSUE.

Richardson As one thinks of the many millions of human beings traveling through this world to the unknown, one does not know when they may be called, as death has no respect of person. One may even be expecting death, yet it is terrible when it comes. Such was the feeling of ye editor when the sad news of the death of his sister, Mrs. C. H. Richardson, who died at her home, 1335 W. Thirty-first street, last Friday morning about 5 o'clock. She had been a sufferer for more than a year, bed-fast for eight months. Everything that human hands could do to relieve her was done, but without avail. Mrs. Mary Richardson, former name Shepard, was born in Platt county, Missouri, March 4, 1853, lived several years in bondage with her mother till the civil war, then her mother, a widow with four children, came north to Ringgold county, Iowa, where they worked until later moving near Decatur City, Decatur county, and Mary came to Moines in 1866. In 1368, Oct. 24 she was married to C. H. Richardson who survives her. To this union eight children were born, of which only three are now living. While Mrs. Richardson was denied the privilege of an education, yet she was an intelligent, industrious Christian woman, a dutiful and loving wife, a dear mother, with that true beautiful character in her that appealed to the stranger. She leaves a true, good and faithful husband, who has bore many afflictions without a murmer, three children, Miss Zoe, Arthur, and Elmer, two whole brothers, J. H. and B. J. Shepard, two half brothers and one sister, J. L. and E. W. Thompson and Mrs. Eldora Anderson and a host of sympathizing friends to mourn her death. The funeral services were held at the family residence Saturday Nov. 14, at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. A. N. McCash pastor of the University Place church, by her request. Mrs. Wm. Coalson conducted the singing. The pall bearers were R. N. Hyde, Wm. Coalson, Charles Mash, and C. A. Bass of Clive. The remains were laid in their family lot in Woodland cemetery.

The church was appropriately decorated with palms and potted plants. Admirably fitting the occasion. The following persons serving on the reception committee were: A. B. Hutchinson, Simpson, A. B. A.

A paper read by Mrs. Speese, on "Woman's Dress," followed by a discussion by those present, proved quite interesting. The prize, a beautiful wav, went to Evans for best discussion, which included the latter which the ladies repaired to their homes, voting Mrs. Richardson the queen of entertainers. CEDAR RAPIDS NOTES. The ladies' club met last week at the residence of Mrs. French Perkina, on Seventh avenue. After the business meeting, lunch was served by the hostess.

THRICE BLESSED IS SHE— The ill neighbor, for whom we had wished to inquire. Who is prompt, who has learned to "act, act in the living present." The flower we had purposed to leave at the door where blossoms are treasures. "For life is all too short, John, and sorrow is all too great, to suffer our slow compassion to tarry until too late." What has become of all these things which were sincere purposes, quite earnestly and faithfully intended? The weary young mother for whom we had meant to plan some little diversion; so easy for us and so refreshing to her. The inquiry we had intended to make as to whether the washer-woman's child had right medical care and proper nourishment.

Mr. Jacob Decker, the woman who myteriously disappeared from her home near Finchfield, was found in the hay mow of a barn. While in a fit of temporary insanity, Mrs. Schmidt, daughter of Capitol William Hopel, a prominent river man of Muscatine, cut her throat. She is in a precarious condition, but will recover. The surveyors that have been making the survey on the town City, Kalona and Washington interurban railway, have reached Washington and the work shows that the route is quite a satisfactory one miles long. The data of the survey are now in the hands of the chief engineer and it is thought that his specifications will be ready by De- James Mealey, a prominent dry goods merchant of Oelwein, has closed his doors. His liabilities will run close to $8,000 to $10,000. The principal creators are M. Mealey of St. Paul, Jamison bank, Aetna State and First National banks of Oelwein, besides numrous wholesale dry goods and no No-toll charges. The Spurbeck, Lambert & Co. large butter tub factory at Algon was burned to the ground a few day ago. This is the second disastrous survey in the area. Years ago it was completely wiped out. The company not only does a large manufacturing business, but it the supply house of a large part of northwestern Iowa.

They were: Walter Martin of Ottumwa, James Mortlock of Ottumwa, and W. R. Haley of Chillicothe, Mo. The accident was peculiar in that the train wrecked itself. It broke in two while on the track, and the car was with the other. The cars were thrown from the track and quite badly smashed up. What promises to be a sensational divorce suit comes up before the district court at Washington this month. It is that of Emma Wallack against Marshall C. Wallick, owner of the Wallick mitten and glove factory, Mrs. Wallack and husband, Mr. Wallack, and the custody of their two children. Daisy and Harold Leroy. The Wallick name has been brought before the public in various ways during the last few months. Frank Jaki, a Bohemian, was instantly killed near Fairfax stepping out of the way of a fast freight on one track directly to the main mall coming in the opposite direction. He had been working as a section hand for some time, and had just quit for the purpose of going back to Bohemia to bring over his wife and four children. He had saved the sum of $80 from his earnings to buy a car and the remainder in one of the Cedar Rapids banks. The mysterious prisoner of the Rock Island still remains at the Mercy hospital, Des Moines, where he is recovering from the wounds received from the shots fired by section hands, who took him for a dynamiter. The man still absolutely knows how to nearer knowing his identity than at first. The wounds are reported to be healing satisfactorily. Rock Island officials deny the story that another threatening note was found on the pilot of a locomotive at Valley Junction. The people of Nora Springs were horrified by the discovery of Walter Aberneth, a butcher, at his slaughter house with his throat cut from ear to ear. He leaves a wife and two children, prostrated with grief. The common belief is that Aberneth was the victim of what is known as the butcher manis, having been so long in the business of slaughtering animals and shedding blood that he applied the knife to his own throat. The deceased was 37 years old. The jury which heard the evidence in the bribery case against John Vickier, East Des Moines constable, brought in a verdict of not guilty. The charge against Vicker was that of receiving money at two different times from Alice Williams when he went with a search warrant to her house. The police, the stand, and denied the charges, claiming that he had been offered money by Miss Williams to neglect his official duties, but had refused to accept it. The crime of bribery, under the jurisdiction of the insoluble by fine of not to exceed $500 or imprisonment in the county jail not to exceed six months. Two hours after the alarm was turned in, three men having in their possession stolen goods, were arrested by the police, charged with having entered the store of W. W. McQuiston at Muscatine. The thieves forced an entrance to the building from a rear window on the third floor. After having carefully removed the putty from a pane of glass the thieves, after laying the pane down intact, loosened the latch and opened the door. The thieves moved and be be the choice. How many revolvers and knives were stolen it is impossible to estimate; but at least two dozen were returned to their owner by the police. The cash register also received their attention. Here a man was taken. They had been drinking and their identity could not be learned. A. N. Cook, professor of chemistry at Morningside college, has been sued for $1,000 damages by Mrs. Florence Summers. Professor Cook found a gang of boys committing some small depredations in his yard and pounced on young men, aged 18, and plunked in his alleysees that Professor Cook beat and kicked her son and bumped his head on a cement sidewalk. Professor Cook formerly was a member of the faculty of the Upper Iowa university at Fayette, and before he to Morninside, the was a student in the University of Wisconsin. G. W.

The ball entering the right arm plowed clear through and into the right side, striking a rib and defecting, coming out at the hip. She is in a concussion condition. James Mealy, a prominent dry goods merchant of Oelwein, has closed his doors. His liabilities will run close to $200,000, with assets perp from $8,000 to $10,000. The principal creditors are the bank, Aetna State and First National banks of Oelwein, besides numerous wholesale dry goods and notion house over the country. The Spurbech, Lambert & Co.'s large butter tub factory at Algaona was burned to the ground in days after the fire, and disease this factory has suffered. Two years ago it was completely wiped out. The company not only does a large manufacturing business, but is the supply house of a large part of northwestern Iowa. It will rebuild. Advices from Muscatine say that nearly 500 men have been thrown out of employment by the closing down of the big plant of the Musser Lumber company. It has filled its sheds and storehouses with enough of all sorts to supply its trade, and no more will be cut up. The year been a big one, more than 25,000 men having been cut during the season. The postoffice at Story City was entered a few nights ago by robbers who succeeded in working the combination of the safe and looting it of its contents. The amount secured was $200 in currency and an additional $100 in the treasury. The secured entrance by battering down the rear door of the postoffice building and having gained entrance "faked" the combination. Everything in the safe, including paper money, the burglary, the surrounding towns have been notified. The unidentified body of a woman apparently 55 years of age was found in the woods east of Belle Plaine by Mike Bence, a trapper. Every evidence points to murder. The body had lain there several days; her face was crushed and her hands were covered with blood. There were bruises on her head and right jaw, but no other injuries. In the infamour, there were new shoes, but there were no prints of a woman's shoe about the body, in the soft earth were the heavy tracks of men's shoes, going and coming from a nearby road. The woman was of light complexion, good looking, of medium height, and rather plump, and was wearing a white shirt. Roundings gave evidence that the body had been carried and thrown there. Deputy game wardens at Council Bluffs have taken several thousand pounds of undesirable fish from Lake Manawa during the last few days in accordance with plan of protecting the game fish by destroying their enemies that live in the water. The fish taken were carp, buffalo and gar The two former are edible fish, but the latter is the most destructive of the game fish's enemies. More than 6,000 of these three undesirable creatures were taken. Some of the buffalo and carp were given away and some sold for the market, but the gars were turned over and fed to their hogs. The seining will be continued and it is expected that the work accomplished will be sufficient to clear the lake for at least a year. Piles of fish were left along the shores of the lake and yesterday thousands of crows were having a feast. About 1 o'clock a few mornings since George Frame, city marshal of Mapleton, accosted three suspicious characters to ascertain their business. One of them thrust a revolver under his nose, while the other two overpowered him and he was taken to the city jail where the robbers took the robber's handgun in a coll. Then they broke into a blacksmith shop and secured tools with which they gained entrance into the First State bank. Dr. Smith, who has rooms over the bank, was awakened and stuck his head out of the window. By one of the robbers with a gum and quickly withdrew his head. The robbers broke open the outer doors of the valet but failed to get any cash. There was $20,000 in the safe. The robbers broke into three saloons and got $20 in cash. They stole a team of robbers from the valet of the A. Strohemler and escaped by buggy. John Dally, constable in East Des Moines, was found guilty in the district court of making threats to extort. The penalty is prescribed by the code as not to exceed two years in the penitentiary or a fine not to exceed $500. Daily's attorneys will ask for a new trial. The indictment against him was filed two counts. The first was threatening to accuse Mary and Julia Eelke and Annie Eelker of being immoral women if they did not pay him a certain amount of money. The second count charged that Daily threatened to arrest him. The third count charged money. The accused was found guilty under the first count. It will be argued by the defendant's attorneys that all of the evidence introduced by the state tended toward showing that Mary was not that he threatened to accuse them of being immoral persons. On technicality they will ask that the verdict be set aside. Joseph Hansmann was instantly killed, George Crutchfield, colored, perhaps fatally injured and two other men were killed in the death in the caving in of the Bike's branch sewer at Ottumwa. At Waterloo the jury in the case of Russell vs. the Waterloo and Cedar Rapids Gas & Electric company, entered a verdict giving damages to the plaintiff in the sum of $5,000. Russell was charged at the company's plant a year ago and sued for $30,000 damages. The case has been on trial for ten days. The jury was out six hours before deciding on a verdict. Ed. Grossman of Daworth, was charged with jumping from a Rock Island train. The air brake failed to work, and, thinking he would be carried past, Grossman jumped. He was just returning from Davenport, where he had taken two children to the Orphans' home. The prosecutor of another in a criminal case that has just been instituted at Cedar Rapids. Ross Putnam caused the arrest of Meredith Putnam, allonging that the latter, while acting as agent, used money collected by him amounting to the sum of $120. SLASHES OFFICER WITH A CLEAVER MOB WAS READY TO AVENGE Policeman is Seriously Injured and Disfigured, Having One Ear Off, But It is Believed That He Will Recover. Boone, Nov. 20.—Dan Gillette, in a drunken frenzy, viciously swung his cleaver at Policeman L. E. Lille last evening, cutting off one ear and inflicting a deep wound in the officer's neck. The injuries may prove fatal. Gillette is under arrest. Gillette, who is very abusive when drunk, was in a meat shop he formerly owned, when the officer called to quiet the drunken man. Gillette threatened the policeman, but the latter thinking Gillette's memoir was too horrible, he Gillette quickly slashed the掌 at the officer's head and only for his dogging. Lille's head would have been split. Lille was immediately taken to the city physician's office. His wounds were pronounced not necessarily fatal, but his artery was severed. However, he will be disfigured. Great excitement prevailed as Lille is a popular officer and a mob would have been dangerous if Lille had been fatally injured. Gillette was caught in a nearby store and is now lodged in the city jail. George Matheson, who has been on trial at Council Bluffs for the attempted murder of Deputy Gillette, has been charged for guilty as charged the jury being out about one hour. The verdict carries with it a penitentiary sentence of from one to ten years. Sneak thieves, in broad daylight, stole two satchels, the property of Mr. Richard Wilbur, from a dray as they were moving from Clear Lake to Mason City. The satchels contained a large amount of articles of clothing valued at nearly $1,000. There is no clew. Fire destroyed the Foster block at Preston. In the building were Fred King's general store and the Farmers' and Merchants' bank. On the second floor were the opera house, Knights of Pythias hall and office of the opera house, Knights of Pythias hall and office, $19,000; insurance $13,000; Fostock block, $10,000; insurance, $8,000; bank, $1,200; fully insured.

Scorbed by the man she went to Denver to marry, Grace Harmon, a pretty Cedar Rapids stenographer, to pay her fare home, saying that she is penniless. Miss Harmon says that Davis promised to get a divorce and marry her if she would go to Denver. She went and found he had a car. Davis and her were living together and Davis scorned her appeals for aid. The Cedar Falls Hub Clothing company, one of the largest clothing firms in the city, has been placed in the hands of a receiver on the request of creditors in Chicago. The house is a branch of the Hub Clothing company, the M. C. Guthmann, a company representing the Crains agency of Chicago, is in Cedar Falls and has taken charge of the business. The assets are valued at $18,000, and the M. E. Guthmann has been in charge of the business since last July. Ermo Helmricha, a well-to-do German farmer living near Palmer, was frozen to death a few nights ago. He started home from Manson somewhat under the influence of Iqoru. His death and Helmricha was unable to get them back upon the road. He wandered about in the cold, finally falling into a pond. Here he was found early the next morning so badly ill that he was unable to walk. He was brought home. Helmricha leaves a wife and eight children. A sensation was caused at Cedar Rapids by the arrest of C. H. Ohmans, C. Bonher, W. J. Graf, C. K. Esner, J. Rusck, employees of the Continental Biscuit company, who were caught in the act of plundering the factory. The thefts have been going on for years, the face of the factory had been unable to account for the big losses that were being sustained. It is believed the amount taken will be in the neighborhood of several thousand dollars' worth of goods. H. C. Rich, of Lorah, a small station near Atlantic, who went to Kansas City a few nights ago in company with his brother, D. B. Rich of Exira, was held up by police and had $2,500. H. C. Rich, had just sold a farm near Atlantic and had gone to Kansas City with a view of buying farming land near that city. While going from the Union depot to his hotel he and his brother became the victim of a street, where they were surprised by the footpaths. Rich was left without a cent.

THE PROMOTION OF THE ADMIRAL AND OTHER SEA COMEDIES By Morley Roberts Author of "The Colossus." "The Fugitives." Copyright, 1902, 1903, by The Curtis Publishers Company, Copyright, 1902, by L. C. Page & Company, (Incorporated) (Continued) "I don't care if I brachin'." said Smith, "Help or get. I'm bossin' this job. Which is it?" Suwanne River," and advanced Bill and Bill's two mates right the admiral's path. They preen to be drunk, and as far as three w And Billy, seeing that he was to play second fiddle, concluded to help. "And," he said to himself, "if we were nalled I will split. Calls him a 'considerate boss.' Well, Shanghai Smith has a gall!" "Which do you reckon is the worst ship inside the Gate now?" asked Smith, after he had savored his canning revenge for a few minutes. "The Harvester sine d't for a month, sir. Smooth looked melancholy. "The Gate sine d't, that's a fact. It's a solid吻, Sant. Sant would have suited this Dunn first class." He was the most notorious blackguard of a shipmaster yet unhung, and the fact that Smith and he were bitter enemies never blinded Shanghai to the surpassing merits of his brutality. "There's the Cyrus G Hake." Smith shook his head contemptuously. "Dy's think I want to board this admiral at the Palace Hotel? Why. Johnson hasn't hurt a man serious for two twins." "Oh, well, I thought as hed's cure break out soon," said Bill; "but there's the President. They do say that her new mate is a holy terror." "I won't go on hearsay," said Smith decidedly. "I want a good man you and I know—one that'll handle this Dicky Dunn from the start. Now, what's in the harbor with officers that can lick me?" "Well, I always allowed (as you know, Mr. Smith) that Simpson of the California was your match." Smith's face softened. "Well, mebbe he is." "At any other time he would never have admitted it." "And the California will sail in three days." "Righto," said Smith. "Simpson is a good tough man, and so is old Baker. Bill, the California will do. But it's an almighty pity the Harvester sn't here. I never knew a more unlucky thing. But we must put up with the next best." "But how'll you corral the admiral, sir?" asked Bill. "You leave that to me," replied the boss. "I've got a very fruitful notion as will fetch him if he's half the man he works." A evening Smith found occasion to run across a couple of the Triumphant's crew, and he got them to come into his house for a drink. "Is the admiral as dead keen on sightin' with his fists as he was?" asked Smith. "Rather," said the first man. "Oh, no, he's tired," said the second. "E allows 'e can't find one to lick 'im. E never could." "Oh, that's his complaint, is it?" said Smith. "And is he as good as he was?" "I heerd him tell the first luff on'y the other day as 'e reckoned to be a better man now than he was twenty years ago. And I believes him. 'Ard. Oh, my! I do believe if 'e ran again a lamp-post he'd fight through it." It was enough for Smith to know that the admiral was still keen on fighting. To draw a man like that would not be so difficult. When he had turned the two naval seamen into the street, he called for the runner. "Have you found out what I told you?" "Yes," replied Bill. "He mostly comes down and goes off at eleven." "Is he alone?" "Mostly he has a young chap with him. I reckon they calls him the flaglieutenant; a kind of young partner he seems to be. But that's the only one so far. And the California sails day after ter-morrer, bright and early." "Couldn't be better," said Smith. "After waitin' all these years I can't afford to lose no time. This yer racket comes off to night. Look out, Mr. Bully Admiral! I'm on your track." And the trouble did begin that night. Mr. "Say-it-and-moon-it" Smith laid for Admiral Sir Richard Dunn, K. C. To the house in the Barbary Coast. B., etc., etc., from ton o'clock till half past eleven, and he was the only man in the crowd that did not hope the victim would come down with too many friends to be tackled. "It's a penitentiary job, so it is," said Bill. And yet when the time arrived his natural instincts got the better of him. The admiral came at last; it was about a quarter to twelve, and the whole water-front was remarkably quiet. The two policemen at the door had had by some good luck, or better, management found it advisable to take a drink at Johnson's, just opposite. And the admiral was only accompanied by his flag lieutenant. "That's him," said Smith. "I'd know the beggar anywhere. Now keep together and sing!" "He broke into "Down on the Swannace River," and advanced with Bill and Bill's two mates right across the admiral's path. They pretended to he drunk, and as far as three were concerned, there was not so much pretence about it after all. But Smith had no intention of being the first to run athwart the admiral's hawse. he came close enough, he shoved the youngest man right into his arm. The admiral jumped back, and landed that unfortunate individual. round-arm blow that nearly unimpeded his jaw. The next moment every one was on the ground, for Bill sand-bagged the admiral, for he was knocked down by the lieutenant. As Sir Richard fell, he reached out and caught Smith by the ankle. The boarding-house master got the lieutenant by the coast and brought him down too. And as "Did you ship as a dead man?" luck would have it, the youngster's head hit the admiral's with such a crack that both lay unconscious. "Do we want the young 'un, too?" asked Bill, when he rose to his feet, swinging his sand-bag savagely. And Smith for once lost his head. "Leave the swine, and puckarow the admiral," he said. And indeed it was all they could do to carry Sir Richard without exciting any more attention than four semi-intoxicated men would as they took home a mate who was quite incapacitated. But they did get him home to the house in the Barbary Coast. When he showed signs of coming to he was promptly dosed and his clothes were off him. But he was not off the injured they put on a complete suit of rough serge togery and he became "Tom Deane, A. B." "They do say that his is the roughest, toughest, hardest nut on earth," said Bill, "so we'll see what like he shapes in the California. I desayne he's one of that lot that lets on how sailormen have an easy time. It's my notion the California will cure him of that." By four o'clock in the morning Tom Deane, who was, as his new shipmates allowed, a hard-looking man who could, and would, pull his weight, lay fast asleep in a forward bunk of the California's focle as she was being towed through the Golden Gate. And his flag leutnant was inquiring in hospital what had become of the admiral, and nobody could tell him more than he himself knew. So much he told the reporters of the Chronicle and the Morning Call, and flaring headlines announced the disappearance of a British admiral, and the wires and cables fairly hummed to England and the world generally. At the same time the San Francisco police laid every front rat and tough by the heels on the chance that something might be got out of one of them. "What did I tell you?" asked Bill in great alarm, as he saw several intimate friends of his being escorted to fall. "Are you weakenin' on it!" said Smith savagely. "If I thought you was I'd murder you. Give me away, and when I get out I'll chase you three times round the world and knife you, my son." And though Bill was so much of a "horror," he could not face Smith's eyes. "Well, I ain't in it, anyhow," he swore. But certainly "Tom Deane, A. B. was in it, and was having a holy time. When the admiral woke, which he did after half an hour's shaking administered in turns by three of the California's crew, who were anxious to know where he had stowed his bottle of rum, he was still confused with the "dope" given him ashore. So he lay prey still and said: "Send Mr. Selwyn to me." But Selwyn was his flag Heutenan, and was just then the center of interest to many reporters. He was old son, and turn to," said one of his new mates. And the admiral rose and rested on his elbow. "Where am I?" "On board the California, to be sure." "I'm dreaming," said the admiral, "that's what it is. To be sure, I'm dreaming." There was something in his accent as he made this statement that roused curiosity in the others. "No, you ain't—not much," said the first man he spoke; "and even if you was, I guess Simpson will wake you. Rouse up before he comes along again. He was in here an hour back inquiring for the trumpet of the Day of Judgment to rouse you. Come along, Deane! Now then!" "My name's Dunn," said the admiral, with contract brows. "Devil doubt it," said his friend; "and who done you? Was it Shanghai Smith?" The admiral sat up suddenly, and by so doing brought his head into violent contact with the deck above him. This woke him thoroughly, just in time to receive Mr. Simpson, mate of the California, who came in like a cyclone to inquire after his health. "Did you ship as a dead man?" asked Mr. Simpson, "For if you could, I will deceive you." And with that he yanked the admiral from his bunk, and dragged him by the collar up on the deck at a run. Mr. Simpson was "bucked" to his finger tips, and had never been licked upon the high seas by the matte dumont. Sir Richard Dumont K. C. B. had never hauled down his flag ether to any man. It surprised him, as it would have surprised any of his crew, to find that he took this handling almost meekly. But then one knows what he would do if the sky fell; and as far as the admiral was concerned, the entire world was an absurd and ridiculous nightmare. He rose at the end of his undignified progress and stared at the mote. "What are you?" he said. Mr. Simpson gasped. "Who am I—oh, who am I? Well, I obligo you by statin' once for all that I mate of this ship, and you're my dog." But the "dog" shook his head. "Nothing of the sort," he said, as he staggered with the remains of the oplate. "I'm a British admiral, and my name's Sir Richard Dunn. Where's my ship?" Any ordinary kind of back-answer or insubordination received only one kind of treatment on board the California, and when a man had been beaten to a jelly, he rarely recovered enough spirit to inquire why he had been hammered. But this was a new departure in back-talk. "Oh, you're an admiral—an admiral, heh?" said Simpson. "Of course," said Sir Richard, and a sudden gaze of rage blew the last opulum out of him. "Why, damn it, sir, what the devil you mean by laying your fithy paws on me? Where's your captain, sir? By all that's holy, I will smash you if you so much as look at me again." Now it is a remarkable fact that the utterly and entirely unexpected will sometimes shake the courage of the stoutest heart. It is possible that a tiger would itself turn tail if a lamb rushed at him with open mouth. And though Mr. Simpson would have tackled a prize-fighter, knowing he was a tiger, he had tackled that one the kind of men he had customed to wipe his boots on man turned upon him with entirely strange language and a still stranger air of authority, for a moment daunted him utterly. He stood still and gasped, while the admiral strangle aft and went up the poop ladder. He was met there by the captain, who had been the terror of the seas as a mate. A narrow escape of a conviction for murder had partially reformed him. He had also become religious, and he had been the captain of Simpson or the second "greater" was having any one into oblivion and obedience. NO FEAR IN EVANS Story Well Illustrates Characterization of "Flighting Bob." Admiral Evans—"Flighting Bob" Evans—has a scorn of powderice and cowards. One morning, some years ago, a young officer entered the cabin of the then Captain Evans in a state of great excitement. "Captain," he said, "the ship's afire and the fire is rapidly approaching the magazine." "Well, when it gets there we'll be sure to know it." said the captain grimly. "Go back to your duty, sir. And he regarded the illustrated young man with a slight sneer. After her hurried away, and in a little while he again,." "Don't be afraid, sir" he said. "I was a very slight fire, and the men have already put it out." "I am not afraid," said Captain Evans. "I was never afraid in my life. How does it feel to be afraid, sir? know"—and he gazed contemptually at the other—"I know how it looks." A swept away by a Geyser. A recent fatal eruption of the Wawang manger in northern Zealand will be of interest, particularly to those who have seen the geysers at the Yellowstone. A party of thirty two excursionists were making the tour of the geysers under the centre of an experienced guide. Four of the two ladies and two gentlemen—avenged within twenty feet of the Wawang geyser basin. The guide showed to them to come away from such a dangerous position, and so did the mother of the two girls. One of the water replied: "In a moment, mother, the next instant there was a terrific eruption of stones, mud and boiling water to a height of 800 feet. When the steam had cleared away the urtunate four were nowhere to be seen. They had been hurled into river of boiling water and their bodies, fearfully battered, were found mile away. Tradition says that the original day in Origin of Chess Day is the chess play in the year 1011.

St. John, Kan., Nov. 15—This town has a genuine sensation in the case of a little boy, the son of Mr. and Mrs. William McBride. Dr. Limes, the attending physician, says: "Scarlet Fever of a very malignant type brought this child very near to death and when the fever left him he was semi-paralyzed in the right leg and right arm. He also lost hearing in his right ear, and his mind was miffed." "His parents tried another treatment for a time and when I was recalled I found that he was having spells very like Epilepsy and was very bad and gradually growing worse.

The land which forms the site of the town of Gardner, Mass., was once owned by the Hassanamikso tribe of Indians. When the state took the land, the Hassanamikso nation was given to each member of the tribe as compensation. The last pensioner, Elbridge Gerry Gigger, was recently summoned to the happy hutting grounds, and therefore the state rented it for any more for the taking of this land.

Ceremony Carried Out With Speeches by Prominent Men Des Moines Post. Nov. 14—The Des Moines Mines post was formally opened yesterday afternoon before 25,000 people, Governor Cummins pressing the button which unfurled above the post the stars and stripes which, floated there continuously, will mark the permanence of this military establishment. While the number of visitors in use city is variously estimated, it is known that those who were at the post grounds and participated in the formal exercises of the opening and in the barbecue, were but a portion of the throng that would have been bereaved there there be adequate transportation facilities. Among the distinguished visitors were General John C. Bates, commanding the departments of the Missouri and of the Lakes, the new postmaster of the city, and several of the members of his staff were present. The Iowa military arm was represented by General Byars, Colonel Lincoln and other soldiers. Governor Cummins, Congressman Hank Aaron, the president and the members of the citizen's committees who have had charge of the arrangements for the celebration. The festivities and ceremonies of the day included an automobile pavement with a large number of sandwiches and 20,000 cups of coffee were extinguished, a parade of a civic character from the city to the post, the flag raising ceremony which was the formal opening of the new Fort Des Moines, two football games, a parade of the musicians at the Auditorium in the evening. Many people were deterred from going down to the post by its distance, the lack of transportation and the stories about the unsafe First street bridge. These spent the time in the city and the business man of jobbing and retail houses alike declared that the number of visitors to their places business was exceptionally large. The business was exceptionally large, so they were able to complete success by all those interested as managers, guests and participants. CAPE BRETON RICH In Coal and Iron—Sidney's Great Steel Plant. Current reports of late, tell of the wonderful wealth of Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. The island is said to have some of the greatest deposits of coal in the world, and from indications also has vast deposits of iron. At Sidney, Cape Breton, great steel industry has become a whale owing to the coal and iron deposits being near each other, makes it an ideal location for the reduction of the iron ore to steel, at lowest possible cost. Cape Breton coal deposits are very pricy in both countries, Canada affords them a market wholly free from competition and the geographical position of Cape Breton renders the markets of the world of easy access, thus making the coal deposits of Cape Breton extremely valuable. TO REVISE TRUANT LAW. Utter ineffectiveness of Present Law Admitted. Des Moines. Nov. 19—Iowa's truant law is wholly ineffective. There is no way of compelling a child to go to school. That R. C. Barrett, state superintendent of public instruction, will exhaustively discuss the matter in his office, and will urge the governor next week and will urge upon the legislature the importance of revision, is common knowledge among state officials. The governor must that every child of school age unless disqualified by disease, must attend school at least twelve weeks in the year. No certain time of year is specified and any twelve weeks is permissible. The job of the truant officer is an empty one, as he cannot successfully prosecute a truant until the year is over. The pupil can say no matter when it is. The truant officer cannot attend school yet, but I intend to attend twelve weeks later on." The officer can prosecute the pupil or parents after the school year has expired, but not before. It will then be useless for the same reason that it does no good to lock a barn after it has expired. It is the understanding that Mr Barrett will recommend that a certain twelve weeks be specified in the law —perhaps the first twelve of the year. The latter will be recommended upon the ground that the winter season is the duvet of the school year and that the services of child at this time with the least disad vantage. Burglaries wrecked the vault and safe of the Citizen's Bank of Yetter a small town west of Rockwell City a few nights ago. About $1,500 was secured in currency in the bank, which was caused by the explosion. Not a single clue as to the identity of the burglaries has been secured. A team and buggy from a livery barn near by was stolen, together with robes, fur coat, etc., but at least the accounts not stolen were verified. Work was evidently done by expert cracksmakers. They broke into a black smith shop and section house and so secured the tools for forcing the doors. They broke off the handle of the vault and a burglar opened a burglar alarm, and then a bolt was made through the side of the vault. In England the number of murders averages every year 5.13 to each million people in France, 11:55; in Austria, 15.42; in Spain, 44.70; and in Italy, 76.11. A negro minister at Ferguson, Mo., pounced upon a white man who was discovered stealing his chickens. The rogue was secured for the night by being bound up in the house. He brought with the aid of the neighbors, the thief was fastened to a wagon tongue with a rope around his waist; the tongue was then raised up in the air, with the rogue thus suspended, until he pitifully promised never to steal chickens again.

Halpine sometimes made his stammer tributary to his wit, as when, upon Mrs. Stowe's going abroad in 1853, on a supposed mission to collect funds for the anti-slavery cause, he nicknamed her,夫人, Harriet, and afterward in print: "Harrie Besecher Be-Stowe." It is related that, on one occasion, Boss Tweed, of New York, was standing with a group in the mayor's office,夫人, Harriet, and afterward in strawberry, rolled upon the floor. Some one of the group picked it up and passed it around to find its owner. "Not mine," said one another. "wired fumbled with his garments for it." "It must be mine," he said; "I see I have lost one of my suspender buttons!" It once happened when "Fauau" was being acted, the corpulent person, who was playing the title-role stuck fast in the trap-door, being therefore unable to comply with Mophisthepheles's final injunction to descend to the fiery regions. Mophisthepheles tried to fill in the pause with interpolated stage business, but still Fauau stuck when he was brought by the kindly encouragement of one gallery-god to a friend: "Larry, my boy, there's luck for us all." Sure the place is full!" The following story of Pope Plus is told in the Italian papers: A deputation of the monks of some order recently obtained an interview with him. According to the etiquette of the Vatican only cardinals are allowed to sit in the Pope's presence, and an appointment equivalent to the promise of a cardinalate. Pope Plus the Tenth is a plain man, utterly indifferent to the etiquette of the Papal court. He, therefore, begged the monks to take seats, and the Pope would give him could venture to do so, and while the wood hesitating, he said to them: "You do not, I suppose, expect me to draw your chairs forward for you?" Bishop Potter was stopped by a street beggar one evening as he was hurrying home. "What's the trouble?" he asked the man. "Can you help a poor blind man to a night's lodgin'?" began the usual whine; "I haven't a penny in my pocket, sir. The man is blind, and when he looked back one eye, the other one being closed. The bishop turned his head for an instant, and when he looked back he saw, in one quick glance, the hitherto closed eye of the beggar giving a wink to a friend who stood beside him. The bishop dived into his pocket and brought out a bag filled of onions a little while before. "Don't you think if I give you this my alms will suit your affection?" he said. In his new volume of racy reminiscences, "Odds and Ends," Dr. Francis Pijou, dean of Bristol, says that he has on many occasions been pestered by cranks who even thrust themselves on him in church at the solemn hour of service. For example, a man once bothered him by urging, in his words, "the kind of love (furious) of a new dance which he had invented. But the dean proved an unwilling hearer, and at last one Sunday evening, as the congregation was singing the hymn immediately before the sermon and the dean had reached the pulpit steps and had begun to mount them, this unabashed parishioner suddenly burst into a thrusting forward a bottle of his "immutable sauce," exclaimed: "Take it; you will find it excellent for the voice." The dramatist, R. C. Carton, once asked Bret Hartie whether his California types were in any way exaggerated. "No," replied the novelist, with his deliberate draw, "I can't say down. For instance, here is a true story when I had put it into any of my books no one would have believed: An English tenderfoot was taken when a noted desperado happened along. The other men in the bar mostly found they had press business elsewhere, but the tenderfoot stayed on. He said the desperado you told him, "You take him," says, Mr. Carton, you know that in California to refuse to drink with a man is much worse than running off with his wife, so when the tenderfoot was taken there was a kind of awful silence. And then the desperado wearily reached for his gun, and in a tired sort of way: "Can't I even hew' a drink without killing a man!" Mike—"They say Tim Cassidy died and aid a doctor" Pled—"Wo! Tim was always a handy lad at anything." AN OLD TIMER. Has Had Experiences. A woman who has used Postum Food Coffee since it came upon the market eight years ago knows from experience the necessity of using Postum in place of coffee if one values health and a steady brain. Postum was first put on the market it was suffering from nervous dyspepsia and my physician had repeatedly told me not to use tea or coffee. Finally I decided to take his advice and try Postum and got a sample and had it carefully prepared, finding it delicious to taste. So, continued its use and very soon I was convinced me of its value, for I got well of my nervousness and dyspepsia. "My husband had been drinking coffee all his life until it had affected his nerves terrily. I persuaded him to shift to Postum and it was easy to get him to make the change for the Postum is so delicious. It certainly worked wonders for him. "We soon learned that Postum does not exhilarate or depress and does not stimulate, but steadily and honestly strengthens the nerves and the stomach. To make a long story short our entire family have now used Postum for eight years with completely satisfying results as shown in our fine condition of health, and we have noticed a rather unexpected improvement in brain and nerve power"—written by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. Increased brain and nerve power always follow the use of Postum in place of coffee, sometimes in a very marked manner.
