Wright, the Big Fat Boy, the Funniest Clown in the Political Arena at Present. During the first two years of the Iowa State Stynder's existence extract was made from the Congressional Record showing that Captain J. A. H. Tull voted against an approval of the first president of that institution was Gen. O. O. Howard, and it was established in about the year 1868 for the education of the Negro youth. It now has a president from Tabor, Iowa. It now has a president from Negro in the land are professors in that school. Kelly Miller is in the Prof. Du Bois class, although occupying the chair of mathematics. There is a theological department run in connection with the work of his niece, and is maintained by the Congregational association. The captain said he voted against the appropriation on account of the theological school. No one expected the government to give money to the school, and the light of the record his explanation is not valid. It would probably be unparliamentary to ask the captain about the details of the Philippine Investment company, but of his acts and votes, he evidently proper that he should explain, if he has an intelligent explanation to make. FACTS ABOUT LYNCH. Last week the Daily Capital had what support it had with support of J. R. Lynch, and it tried to show that he was for Captain Hull for congress. As a matter of fact the interview was not satisfactory to the views of the Capital and it was eliminated and emasculated in such a manner that the "most leadenest culled" man on the Hull side published an alleged interview with Major Lynch, when as a matter of fact he had no interview whatever and the publication made was a pure fabrication for the reason that he was the mittee of entertainment and did not have such opportunity. A letter was presented to Mr. Lynch from Captain Hull by a Negro helper. Lynch read the letter, handed it back and he sent him a bill in the hands of his friends and could not see or hear him. The part of the interview which the Capital omitted was substantially as follows: Reporter.—Is it a fact that Hull has shown particular interest in the welfare of the people? I never knew of anything he has done that has shown particular interest. Reporter.—Is it a fact that Hull was a favorite with the Negroes of Washington? Lynch.—If he was it has escaped my attention. Reporter.—What, if anything, do you know of Hull's relation to the Negro? Lynch.—I know nothing of him only that he was a member of congress from Iowa. Reporter.—Do you know anything about Hull's present contest for nomination to congress? Lynch.—I know nothing whatever. Reporter.—Have you read the papers in regard to the matter? Lynch.—I have not, so that I know nothing of the merits of the case. I am personally acquainted with John Kassar, who represented this Harriet in congress. I admire that man and his great ability. Reporter—Did Captain Hull have anything to do with your appointment? Lach—None whatever. This interview took place in the presence of several gentlemen and should put at rest the falsehoods which have been given circulation in this city as no other congressional contest. It is pretty well established that there are more doubtful publications. of this unutured big fat boy occupying a place once held by the late Senator Bruce and now held by Judron Lyons. Great God, what a change this would make!—from the sublime to the redicutions.

Thompson Captures a $10 Check for Being One of the Prettiest Babes in an International Contest. The Proud Father Is a Well Known Colored Editor and Presides Over the Bystander, Organ of People of the Negro Race in Des Moines and Iowa. If J. L. Thompson, the well known young colored man who presides over the editorial sanctum of the Byssander, steps somewhat more proud nowadays than usual, it may be attributed to the fact that he is the happy fathfer hobbit. The little on-age-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, Miss Enola, holds the unique distinction of being the only colored baby in the county to win a prize in a pretty baby contest conducted by a large proprietary food concern for both the United States and Canada; it also holds the distinction of being the only baby to get a prize of any sort in the contest. Thousands of babies from all parts of this country and opposed to colored men being in office a few years. He gets wrapped up in the meshes of his own arguments and they fall of his weight. He would like the dictator of political affairs in this country to exclude all but Hull men from positions of any kind. When a collection was taken up for flowers for President Roosevelt Rev. Horace S. Graves was compelled to make the presentation, although Mr. Wright was the colored representative on the reception committee, the boquet was purchased by colored people in general and should have been presented by the member of the reception committee. Stripped of all veneering, Mr. Wright stands convicted politically of insincerity and selfish motives and a desire or material benefit. Wright should give to the public the letter he received from Judge Prouty some time ago. Charles S. Ruff. STILES FOR JUSTICE OF PEACE. Mr W. H. Stiles who has announced himself as a candidate for justice of peace of Des Moines township, was born in Ohio in 1843; came to Iowa in 1853 and to Des Moines in 1894. He has always been an active republican worker; his father being a strong abolitionist and assisted in the underground railroad. When our civil war came and Lincoln called for volunteers, young Stiles offered his service to maintain the union and save the flag—enlisting in Company H, 22d Iowa and served faithfully for three long years. He came home and entered the practice of law. He was elected justice of peace of another county four years, was mayor for two years and county attorney six years, thus showing his qualification and fitness by experience. He has never held an office in our city and if elected will we know give the colored man justice and due consideration, as he is friendly to them. (Special to Bystander) R.

The baby last week received a check for $10 from the company as an addition to its bank account which already has assumed good sized proportions for a baby less than a year old. Thompson is one of the younger leaders of his race in Iowa and he and his wife are prominent in the church and social life of their people. Mr. Thompson has made his way to a place of distinction in spite of the obstacles that usually confront the negro who is his audience to make him a leader. He has educated himself and established himself in a successful business venture as editor and publisher of the Bystander, the recognized organ of the colored people of Iowa. -Register and Leader, Sunday Feb. 14.

Republican candidate for constable, Des Moines Township, is a native of Gastonburg, Alabama, where he was born in the year 1801, and was educated in the famous Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute of Tuskegee, Ala., presided over by Prof. Booker T.

I want my friends and the public to know that my daughter grace, now twelve years old, can again see after being almost blind from the time she was three years old. She had a great memory and can count on account of her eyes. I am now happy to say that she attends school every day and gets along very nicely. Dr. Lew Arntz has restored her sight by the use of certain ground glasses. I think it if had not been for him she would not have been able to count as it was impossible for her to see to read. Whenever she did her eyes and head would pain her dreamily. The worry I experienced over the condition of her sight no one could realize. I felt sure that life should no help for her and labored under that impression for over eight years. My daughter was given up as incurable by some very prominent eye doctors. I am not writing this for Dr. Aruz's benefit, but in justice to other people who suffering as my daughter did, when they could just as well be cured or helped by his treatment. MRS.

HULL AND NEGRO EDUCATION Captain Hull Voted Against Appropriation for Howard University. Facts About Major Lynch and His Interview in Des Moines, Iowa. Wright, the Big Fat Boy, the Funniest Clown in the Political Arena at Present. During the first two years of the Iowa State Stynder's existence extract was made from the Congressional Record showing that Clapton J. A. T. Hull voted against an approval of the first president of that institution was Gen. O. O. Howard, and it was established in about the year 1868 for the education of the Negro youth. It now has a president from Tabor, Iowa, in the land and professors in that school. Kelly Miller is in the Prof. Du Bois class, although occupying the chair of mathematics. There is a theological department run in connection with the Congregational trained by the Congregational association. The captain said he voted against the appropriation on account of the theological school. No one expected the government to give money for any sectarian school. But in the record his explanation is not valid. It would probably be unparliamentary to ask the captain about the details of the Philippine Investment company, but of his acts and votes he did not mention properly that he should explain, if he has an intelligent explanation to make. FACTS ABOUT LYNCH. Last week the Dally Capital had what purported to be an interview with R. Lynch, and it tried to show that he was for Captain Hull for congress. As a matter of fact the interview was not satisfactory to the views of the Capital and it was eliminated and emasculated in such a manner as to lead to the notion that leadeness culled" man on the Hull side published an alleged interview with Major Lynch, when as a matter of fact he had no interview whatever and the publication made a pure fabrication for the reason that he was the minister of the mittee of entertainment and did not have such opportunity. A letter was presented to Mr. Lynch from Captain Hull by a Negro helper. Lynch read the letter, handed it back and he said that he was in the hands of his wife and could not see or hear him. The part of the interview which the Capital omitted was substantially as follows: Reporter--Is it a fact that Hull has shown particular interest in the welfare of the Negro? Lynch.—never knew of anything he has done that has shown particular interest. Reporter.—Is it a fact that Hull was a favorite with the Negroes of Washington? Lynch.—If he was it has escaped my attention. Reporter.—What, if anything, do you know of Hull's relation to the Negroes? Lynch.—I know nothing of him only that he was a member of congress from Iowa. Reporter.—Do you know anything about Hull's present contest or nomination to congress? Lynch.—I know nothing what whatever. Reporter.—I will read the papers in regard to the matter? Lynch.—I have not, so that I know nothing of the merits of the case. I am personally acquainted with Hon. John A. Kasson, who represented this district in congress. I admire that man and his great ability. Reporter.—Did Cottonin Hull have anything to do with your appointment? Lynch.—None whatever. This interview took place in the presence of several gentlemen and should put at rest the falsehoods which have been given circulation in this city as to Lynch being up to date in congressal contest, if properly well established that there are more doubtful publications. Mr. Wright is in favor of the persecution of Cormoran Hall in Amcea, "Mamma," said little Elise, "we have to be very saving, don't we? "Yes, dear."

Thompson Captures a $10 Check for Being One of the Prettiest Babes in an International Contest. The Proud Father is a Well Known Colored Editor and Presides over the Bystander, Organ of People of the Negro Race in Des Moines and Iowa. If J. L. Thompson: the well known young colored man who presides over the editorial sanctum of the Bystander, steps somewhat more proud now adays than usual, it may be attributed to the fact that he is the happy fath- er of prettiest babies. The little on-age-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, Miss Enola, holds the unique distinction of being the only colored baby in the county to win a prize in a pretty baby contest conducted by a large proprietary food concern for both the United States and Canada. It also holds the distinction of having the only baby to get a prize of any sort in the contest. Thousands of babies from all parts of this country and opposed to colored men being in office a few years. He gets wrapped up in the meshes of his own arguments and they fall off his weight. He gets the degree of political affairs in this country and exclude all but Hull men from positions of any kind. When a collection was taken up for flowers for President Roosevelt Rev. Horace S. Graves was compelled to make the presentation, although Mr. Wright was the colored representative on the reception committee. The bouquet was purchased by the ordered people in general and should have been presented by the member of the reception committee. Stripped of all veneering, Mr. Wright stands convicted politically of insincerity and selfish motives and a desire or material benefit. Wright should give to the public the letter he received from Judge Prouty some time ago. Charles S. Ruff. STILES FOR JUSTICE OF PEACE Mr. W. H. Stiles who has announced himself as a candidate for justice of peace of Des Moines township, was born in Ohio in 1843; came to Iowa in 1853 and to Des Moines in 1894. He has always been an active republican worker; his father being a strong abolitionist and assisted in the underground railroad. When our civil war came and Lincoln called for volunteers, young Stiles offered his service to maintain the union and save the flag-leaning in Company H, 22d Iowa and served faithfully for three long years. He came home and entered the practice of law. He was elected justice of peace of another county four years, was mayor for two years and county attorney six years, thus showing his qualification and fitness by experience. He never held an office in our city and if elected will we know give the colored man justice and due consideration, as he is friendly to them. ROCK ISLAND, ILL. (Special to the R.
