In my judgement the company is safe and those taking stock now and the low rates that the shares is now selling, I think it will be a good and profitable investment. The company will have one of its representatives from Des Moines down in Buxton very soon, more about the company next week. TAKERS COLORED GRADUATES.

DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1904. J. B. It is indeed a pleasure that we are permitted to present to our readers the true likeness of Judge S. F. Prouty, who is a candidate for the republican nomination of the seventh congressional district. Judge Prouty is an Iowan, born on his father's farm in Marion county 50 years ago where he was raised; having a hard struggle for an education. After finishing the common school he entered the Central College at Pella, Iowa where he continued to struggle for higher education, waiting table for his board, although graduating at the head of his class with honors. While in college, when he was only 22 years of age, was nominated on the republican ticket for the legislature and elected over his democratic opponent in a democratic county. He was admitted to the bar and practiced law in Knoxville several years. Later he moved to Des Moines and entered the practice in with Earl, and by his ability, honesty and fair deal- Governor Bailey has withdrawn from the gubernatorial canvass in Kansas, and a newspaper man will probably get the nomination. One of the main causes of the present governor's withdrawal was the opposition of the Negro voters and Negro newspapers. He insulted them and they resented it and were carrying the war into the caucuses and the primaries. The fight will have a wholesome effect on the politics of Kansas and will bring to the Negro voters consideration and fair treatment. The Negro vote in that state is large and united. FEARLESS AND INDEPENDENT The Chicago Record-Herald is a conspicuous example of the success with which the public rewards fearless non-partisanship in the columns of a great metropolitan daily paper. It is an independent newspaper, in which men and measures are invariable viewed wholly from the standpoint of the public good and not from that of the interests of any particular political party. It is the very reverse of neutral—fearless and outspoken on all the great questions of the day, but presenting its editorial opinion upon independent judgment and entirely regardless of political offlations. Partisanship is barred as strictly from the news columns as from the editorial page. All political news enabling the reader to form correct conclusions for himself. In the ordinary partisan newspaper political news is usually colored to such an extent as to make it difficult if not impossible for the reader to secure a sound basis for intelligent judgment.

DES MOINES ing has become one of the foremost lawyers in Des Moines. He won the first prize in the interstate collegiate contest held in Madison, Wis. Judge Prouty was twice honored in this his home county (Polk) by being elected to the district bench, and he made an honorable upright conscientious judge—always in keen sympathy with the struggling masses of humanity. Two years ago he was a candidate for congress against Capt. Hull—who had the machine organization—and even against the unfair methods used to beat him and the gross injustice done him denying him an opportunity to see the ballots, and even alledging that the ballots were burned to keep him from seeing them. In the face of all these things he received a majority of the popular vote, and as his friends say was cheated out of the nomination. He is a true friend of the race, and his many friends predict his nomination. The party at Marshall Perkins last Monday night a week is reported to have been the jolliest of the season. The party was to have been a surprise on Marshall, but it turned out vice-verse, Marshall surprised the party. On Thursday evening a party was given at the home of Mrs. Andy Guy's. A pleasant time is reported. The many friends of Mrs. Jennie Robinson are given to see her out again after an attack of gippie. The J. S. Y. club met at the residence of Mrs. Raspberrys last Thursday. The next meeting will be at Mrs. A. E. Jakson's and will be the semi-annual election of officers. On last Friday morning week ago Mr. Norman Brooks of Chicago and Mrs. Luira Martin of this city were quietly united in marriage. Their many friends many friends join in wishing them a bright and happy life. It seems to be a lad with certain persons to wear odd shoes, for information call on Fred Morris. The Cedar Rapids Republican of Jan. 15 and 24 published articles from the treenant pen of Elder Clemens, one a tribute to the memory of the late Senator Harlem the other a dissent from the expressed views of Corgessman Lute field on the race problem. Sunday was quarterly meeting the attendance was small during the day owing to the extreme cold. Presiding Elder Malone was present and filled the pulpit morning and evening.

WOLF, 707 Locust Street You Must Invest Your Money to make it grow. Hard work alone will not secure wealth. The great fortunes of the world were made through investment. The Wealthy Men of America grew rich through their investments. In nearly all cases their wealth wealth was made by investments in promising enterprises when stock cheap and which have since paid enormously. Calumet & Hecla stock went begging in the 70's at $1.00 a share and now it sells at $400.00. All the great mines and railroads show examples of this law of wealth.

On the 29th day of February this county will be called upon to make a choice as to who shall be the republican candidate for congressman. The two candidates are C pt. J. A. T. Hull, the present incumbent, and Judge S. F. Prouty. Captain Hull has held his present office for seven terms. The memory of the oldest inhabitant does not recall the time when the genial captain did not hold an office. To leave his name off republican tickets would be like leaving Lydia Pinkham's picture or Hostetter's Bitters and St. Jacobs' Oil advertisements out of a daily newspaper. The congressional contest now on is of great importance to the common people of this district and means much for the future. After a service of fourteen years in congress the captain should run on his record. In the discussion which may follow nothing will be done that is unfair or smacks of pettifogging or special pleading. Political Flopper. Two years ago there was a contest between these same gentlemen for the nomination. At that time Mr. Henry McCraven reported, as one of a committee, certain alleged facts in regard to the reply of Captain Hull in answer to queries put to him by the committee. We have yet to learn that his replies were not substantially as reported. In answer to a question as to whether or not congress could do something in regard to the disfranchisement and mob violence and a state of anarchy existing in the South, the captain is reported to have said substantially "that there were more important matters before congress and the American people than these questions" and "that it was time the Negroes were doing something for themselves." You Must In to make it grow. fortunes of the w The Wealthy grew rich through wealth was made cheap and which went begging in All the great min There Is Cha possibilities of lo cannot offer you you are ever offer A Safe and is presented to mense value and worth. Fortunes We Need J That is why we offer Investig We will place at your The Cape B of Des Moines, la. Notwithstanding these reports of the captain it is learned that Mr. Heury McCraven is supporting him for renomination. There has been no change in the conditions from two years ago, and at that time Mr. McCraven was for Judge Prouty. Why this sudden change? There seems to be a hidden and unexplained reason for him to indorse a man holding such views in regard to Negro suffrage and mob violence and the state of anarchy existing. If Captain Hull stands squarely on republican principles and platforms he must be opposed to the violation of the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the constitution. Besides this, he takes an obligation before he can become a member of congress. We have been unable to find any record to show that the genial captain has supported any of the measures which have been before congress and are designed to check these growing evils and bring greater respect for the rights of the nation; that the negro wants, but the enforcement of existing laws and the protection guaranteed by them. It comes with ill grace for the captain to advise negroes to do something for themselves. In the light of history it can be shown that the negroes of America have achieved more than any other race under the conditions and obstacles that they have had to overcome and surmount. The door of equal opportunity has been closed in their faces and a black skin over brains and character fails of recognition. The negro is willing to work up. He does not expect to advance by leaps and bounds. He does not expect to go from Camp McKinley in Des Moines to the position of judge advocate in the regular army when he has notithood experience and ability. He went to Grant and General Lee were graduates from West Point, and their rise was slow and laborious, but they earned every promotion they received and when they reached the top round they were able to look back and see what their ability had won for them. There was no political manipulation in their promotion. Nepotism is the bane of affairs in this congressional district. Negro Boy Won, But Lost. Several years ago there was held an examination for a cadet to Annapolis Naval academy. A negro boy named Jackson was one of the contestants. Captain Hull was the congressman and young Dr. Hull (father and son) was the examining physician. This was before his father got him anchored in a soldiers' home as a physician. He dental examination-Jacson defeated his opponents. It was then up to Dr. Hull and the young Jackson lost the place on physical examination. It has been alleged by one of the oldest politicians and ex-state official that there was "something rotten in Denmark." Since that time, I have been informed that young Jackson has been able to pass the examination and secure insurance in an old line company. Mr. Jackson has been in the employ of the Armour Packing Company, Chicago, and has a responsible and well-qualified team with the Captain Answer? The negroes of this county and district would like to have Captain Hull answer the following questions: "Pe-r-efficient Mon Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun Price, Five Cents. 1. Are you in favor of equi opportunity to all citizens? 2. Are you in harmony with Presidency of negroes in the south? 3. Are you ni harmony with President Roosevelt on the negro question? 4.

Sol Williams has returned after a short visit with his relatives in Dixon, Ill. John Logan received the sad news last week of the death of Mert Rober who died in Chicago last Tuesday where he has been living for the past two years. He was born and raised here and was well and favorably known here. He leaves three sisters to mourn his departure, his mother died nearly two years ago and his father has been dead a number of years. Coas, Jones who has been working in Quincy, Ill., for several months has returned home for an indefinite stay. Mr. and Mrs. Ben. Holmes who have been living in East Dubuque are now comfortably located on East Rock in Dubuque. Mr. Holmes is a music an.

One of the gayest events of the winter was a card and dancing party given by Harry Rose last Tuesday evening at the home of his parents Dr. and Mrs. Henry Rose which is located on West 14th St. The house was beautifully decorated for the occasion with palms and carnations. The first part of the evening was given to cards, after an elaborate luncheon was served all indulged in dancing. Mr. Leonard Lewis presided at the piano with his usual ability. The Color Woman's Social Club met with their president Monday night. The main feature of the eventing was a paper written by Gertrude Davis Evans, the subject being Intellectual Suspancy" which was generally discussed after which a social time was enjoyed by all. Mrs. Lulu Martin who is making her home with Mrs. Ruth Mathews is very sick at this writing. Every time we see Mr. John Logan he is going. Where? Galena. Limon, Colo.

Etherhville, Ia., Feb. 1st—Mr. George J. Barber of this place says: George J. Barber of this place says: "Dodd's Kidney Pills are the best medicine in the world. There is nothing as good as Dodd's Kidney Pills with Kidney Disease which finally turned into Bright's Disease. I was treated by Doctors in Chicago but they didn't do me any good. The best Doctor in Estherville treated me for five years with no better success. I heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills and made up my mind to give them a trial. "I am very thankful to be able to say that they cured me completely and women are the best medicine on the world." The honest, earnest, straightforward experiences of real living men and women are the only material used in advertising Dodd's Kidney Pills. One such testimony is worth more than a thousand unsupported claims. The people who have used Dodd's Kidney Pills are those whose evidence is strong, and nothing can be more convincing than a statement like Mr. Barbers. They are thousands of others just as strong. No woman ever admits outside the divorce court that she drew a maximal blind. "I hear you're dissatisfied with your doctor's bill." "Yes, I don't think he is entitled to two hundred and fifty dollars for that operation." "Why not?" "Because if he was more, he'd claim more." Howes—"Don't like this cold weather he only last summer you are complaining of the heat." Barnes—"Not of the heat itself, but rather of its untimeliness. It would be all right if reserved for such weather as this." Wife—"There was a man around today selling big brass burglar alarm bells to put on the front of the house when you know we haven't anything worth stealing." Wife—"I know, but it will make the neighbors think we have." "De trouble wif dat man," said Erasmus Pinkley, "is dat he's too ambitious." "But he won't work," answered Miss Miami Brown. "No. He's one of desse people who would like to automobile dan git down to business and push a wheelbarrow." 'turpin—Come with me to the oo!.' Jenks—'No, thank you; I'll stay at home. My eldest daughter taught me how to dance, and daughter talks like a parrot, my son laughs like a hyena, my wife watches me like a hawk, my cook is as cross as a bear, and my mother-in-law says as a dog, and I go any where I want a change. That Coffee Was the Real Trouble. Some people founder around and take everything that's recommended to them but finally find out that coffee is the real cause of their troubles. An Oregon man says: "For 25 years I was troubled with my stomach. I was a steady coffee drinker but didn't suspect that as the cause. I doctored with good treatment. I took almost anything which someone else had been cured with but to no good. I was very bad last summer and could not work at times. "On December 2, 1902, I was taken so bad the Doctor said I could not live over twenty-four hours at the most and I made all preparations to die. I could hardly eat anything, everything distressed me and I was weak and sick all over. When in that condition coke was abandoned and I went on Proust images in my feelings came quickly after the drink that was padding me was removed. "The pain and sickness fell away from me and I began to get well day by day so I stuck to it until now I am well and strong again, can eat heartily with no headache, heart trouble or the awful sickness of the old coffee days. I drink all I wish of Postum without any harm and enjoy it immensely. "This seems like a wonderfully strong story but I would refer you to the First National Bank, The Trust Banking Co., or any merchant of Grant's Pass, Ore, in regard to my standing and I will send a sworn statement of this if you wish. You can also use my name." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. who persistently fool them by saying "Coffee don't hurt me," a ten days' trial of Postum in its place will tell the truth and many times save life. "There's a reason." Look for the little book "The Read to Woolliffe" in each package.

The Dangers of Fox Hunting. Crowds "go hunting," but few ride to hounds, so statistics are absolutely useless. Of the thrusters—the ones who come to grief least—are the sportsmen who keep their eye on the leading hound and try to land on his tail every time. The golden rule is: Throw your heart over first, and then you and your horse and the leading dog and the fox are certain to be in the same field.

A popular highland remedy for both consumption and general debility was what is known as sudn nan cabar ('the juice of deer's horns'). These were gathered in the hills when the animals cast them in the springtime, and the juice thus obtained bottled, after being strained. Candy sugar and whiskey are usually used to it nowadays. Crabs' pulverized, and eaten on bread and butter, were used for consumption, asthma and whooping cough, in the Hebrides. New Chemical Compound A Russian chemist has discovered a new alumino-thermic compound and named it thermite. When fired by the application of a bit of magnesium tape this compound burns fiercely, generating a heat equivalent to that of the electric arc. The fused combination is hot enough to burn a hole with clean edges through an iron rod. When heated the amount of thermite burned, without heating the plate, except at the point of perforation. Terrible Air. Some beast in human form wadded Doc Skilman's office keyhole full of wet paper and then telephoned him to hurry out to old Bill Jennings and bleed him. When Doc went to his office to get his tools, of course the paper was frozen and he couldn't get the key in. This is the second time this thing has happened—McCordsville (Ohio) Exhumer.

What Children Should Learn. Habits acquired in childhood are the ones that stick through life. So it is important that little ones should be taught habits of neatness, helpfulness and daintiness about their belongings. It is certainly essential for a girl and not do a boy any harm nor make him one whit less manly. Smallpox as "The Good Wife."

Markings of the Moon Probably even in prehistoric times men have noticed the face of the "man in the moon." Plutarch noticed it and even wrote a whole book about the face in the moon. But besides this, many other objects are supposed to be visible. The dark markings on the surface are likened by the Chinese to a monkey pounding rice. In them they are said to resemble a rabbit. Plant Food in Soil. A recent bulletin of the department of agriculture says: "It appears that practically all soils contain sufficient plant food for good crop yield; that this supply will be indeliblely maintained, and that this account will be maintained, and that the soil does depend mainly, under favorable conditions, upon the cultural methods and suitable crop rotation." **Browning's Pretty Compliment.** As all the world knows, the relation between Tennison and Browning was one of friendship and mutual admiration.

"Why, you might as well suspect the Rothschilds of picking pockets!"

Gordon "he was the shining scimitar which the war god wielded when he cleft his enemies; he dressed for battle as others would dress for a ball, and when the 'boys' saw his clean gauntlets and shining caplains they ate all their rations lest they should die before they had a chance to finish them."

Senator Tilman tells of a South Carolina trial in which the prisoner, accused of burglary was cleared by a strong alibi, amply supported by witnesses.

I greatly the best of four that were offered to me." While stories were going the rounds at the Lamba club, one night, Francis Wilson contributed one about a leading man of a theatrical company that had become stranded at Sagnaw. The leading man installed himself at a hotel, and lived a precarious life while waiting for a dictator. One morning the bell in his room fell an hour. Nobody answered. Then he went into the hall, leanced over the railing, and called: "Boy; oh, boy!" "What is it?" snarled a bell-boy from the lobby beneath "Have you seen anything of my laundry?" "Av, gwan!" said the man you aint minded. "That, said once you were with great dignity, 'is the actor, with great dignity, 'is the actor to which I refer.' The following remarkable essay on the horse is said to be from the pen of an Indian student: “The horse is a very noble quadruped, but when he is angry he will not run, but he is angry he will pull the bridle, and sadly the driver places his foots on the stirrups and divides his lower limbs across the saddle and drives the animal to the meadow. He has four legs; two feet. From the afterward, these are the weapons on which he runs. He also defends himself by extending these in the rear in a parallel direction towards his foot. But from the aggravating mood. There is no animal like the horse. No sooner they see their guardian or master than they always cry for food, but it is always at the morning time. They have got tails, but not long the cow and such other like animals.” To the housewife who has not yet become acquainted with the new things of everyday use in the market and who is reasonably satisfied with the old, we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once by the manufacturers to be superior to any other brand, but because each 10c package contains 16 ozs, while all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady who once uses Defiance Starch will use no other. Quality and quantity must win. Some men would be witty if they knew how to be brief.

The bill requires that any county auditor, immediately upon the filing of a petition by one of more persons whose property abuts the proposed ditch, requesting such action, shall designate a competent engineer to survey the surveys and otherwise inquire into its feasibility, desirability and cost and report to the board of supervisors. The petitioners shall first have filed a bond to cover the cost of such investigation to be paid by them only by the improvement is turned down by the county supervisors and supervisors agree that the improvement is needed the county will meet all expenses. Before the meeting of the supervisors, however, the auditor shall cause notices to be served upon all property owners in the effected district. The county may require the prior before the supervisors at the designated time and offer any protest they may have. It shall also be their duty to assert any claim for damages that they may have and failure to do so, will result in forfeiture of right to claim the auditor shall appoint three appraisers to affix the amount of damages. This award shall be final except upon appeal to the district court from which time the case will go through the same legal channels either civil suit. After having decided the case, the county may sary to the public health or convenience, it shall be the duty of the board of supervisors, according to the provisions of this bill, to divide the ditch into sections, if it be a long one and advertise for bids on each section. Repairs shall be advertised for the same manner from time to time. The cost of the ditch in each district shall be assessed according to the benefits, just as is the cost of paving assessed in cities except that in this case persons whose property does not benefit from the benefits. The assessment shall be distribute according to the proximity of the property effected, those abutting the ditch paying on a 100-per cent basis and those more remote shall be assessed a smaller per cent. The construction of any ditch or levee that detracts in any way from the usefulness of such improvement shall be deemed a nuisance and abated accordingly. The service of notice in cases where persons affected by the proposed project do not benefit in the service that service may be obtained, may be by publication in newspapers in the usual manner. The measure was drafted by B. A. Sawyer, an attorney of Sioux City. Representative Whiting has been very active in promoting it as an effort to have some one else introduce the bill so as to be assured of just that much additional support. FEES TO STATE TREASURY Whipple-English Insurance Examination Bill Introduced. Des Moines, Feb. 5.—The two insurance bills—one providing for examination commissions and the other providing insurance mergers—were introduced in the legislature by Senator Whipple and Representative English at the morning sessions of the houses. These measures conform to the regulations of Governor Cummins and Auditor Carroll. The act respecting the examination of companies is designed also to give the auditor of state more assistance in the department in charge of insurance at $2,000 a year and two assistants, if needed, at $5 a day. These officers are given power to examine companies, but whatever fees are charged on authority of the executive council must be covered into the state treasury. The bill regarding consolidations provides for the creation of a board whose business it shall be to consider proposed mergers and re-insurance and to determine upon public hearing the merits of the proposition. He insists on the extent of 50 per cent is not prohibited. TEMPLE AMENDMENT. Increases Number of Representatives in the House. Des Molins, Feb. 5.—Representative Temple, for the fourth time, yesterday indicated that it will submit to popular vote an amendment to the constitution increasing the number of members of the lower house to guarantee to every county in the state, forever, at least one member of the national amendment was submitted once to the people and was defeated because the larger counties imagined it would prevent them ever attaining to exceed two members of the house. Colonial Tom's the 1857 constitution prohibits this, in any event, so that the gentleman from Clarke is quite certain that if submitted again it will carry before the people. He says the legislature in 1802. An almost unanimous vote carried it through that session. Yesterday the amendment received the votes of all of the members of the house except two. It now rests with the senate. It will pass the senate the resolution will be submitted to the people in November. SHARP ADVANCE EXPECTED. Active Buying of Cape Breton Shares. Beautiful Booklet Free.

Orders for stock, inquiries, requests for the company's beautiful booklet are pouring into the Des Moines office daily. Hill M. Bell, president of Drake University, says of the booklet: "I sincerely compliment the printer upon his splendid work. An artist of great skill is told in delightful way. Brimful of interest. Write for a copy today. It's free. Large sales have hastened the advance in price from 15 cents to 25 cents per share, which is expected within a few days." THE LEGISLATURE.

Des Molines, Feb. 2—Senate—Senator Young introduced a bill prohibiting boycoting; Dowell introduced a bill changing the code relative to compulsory attendance at school, making the necessary attendance twenty four weeks instead of twelve and making a provision that they shall be required to pay the year; Hayward introduced a bill which is likely to create considerable discussion. Wife desertion is a question which has been considerably agitated in Iowa of late. Hayward's messure would compel husbands to support a bill that would be if capable of so doing, or otherwise to take a fall sentence. House.—The house passed the deficiency fish and game bill passed by the senate, carrying an appropriation of $4,000 to cover the expenses of the department during the past two years. Among bills introduced were these: Creating the office of commissioners with the statutes keeping children in poor houses and authorizing the board of control to remove them. A small amount of ability and an inordinate ambition will do more to mute a man than any other one thing, except laziness. NOTICE OF EXPIRATION OF RIGHT OF REDEMPTION.

Our family physician prescribed relief only. I began taking Perona and improved at once. Two bottles cured me. I recommend Perona to all sufferers, and am most grateful to you for your valuable medicine." Miss Rose Gibson. Washington, D.C., 600 IH street, N.W. Dear Dr. Hartman, "I used to think that the doctors knew all about our aches and pains and were the proper ones to consult when sick, but since I have been sick myself I certainly had good reason to believe that I could have Perona caught a heavy cold, which developed into catarrh of the bronchial tubes and an inflamed condition of the respiratory organs. The doctors were afraid that I would have to pill, powder and pack until I sickened of the whole thing, as I did not improve. One of the indices in the Home had a bottle of Perona and she advised me to take it, but I felt that I had found the right medicine.
