The most exciting and perhaps greatest political contest for congressional honors ever waged in Iowa ended last Monday at the primaries when Congressman John A. T. Hull, the present incumbent, was renominated so far as Polk county is concerned by a very large majority over Judge S. F. He预估 that many voters and about 90 more delegates than Judge Protty. The results even surprised everybody, for even the enthusiast thought the contest would be much closer than it was, while a ments, littleest of heart, and microscopic conceptions, make them unable to see anything good in any Negro, or the least evil of a high plane of civilization for him. Men of this class we believe, as far as they are to see, are sincere in their opposition to the Negro, just as some in the days of Christ declared that "No good thing could come out." Mr. Thomas E. Barton, who has just been here from Washington, D. C., was invented and just got his patent through the patent office, inventing a school and business man's book carrying case, so the books will not be so exposed to the stormy weather or burning heat. It is a very simple yet handy concern. Therefore Des Moines can boast of having another colored inventor. The list of colored delegates to the county yacht convention Saturday are as follows: Second ward, J. B. Rush and Douglas Patterson, Third ward; Geo. Wilson, Ed McAfee and Henry Sheeley, Fourth ward; Geo. Logan and Rev. J. O. Winbush from Sixth ward. All persons except one. Mr. Al Rivers was a judge in the Second of the Third ward. Mr. and Mrs. E. T. Banks gave a very swell 6 o'clock uplast Thursday day evening at their beautiful home on Enos avenue in honor of First Sergeant Welsh and Sergeant Smith of Company L of the 20th Infantry J. S. Regulars, now stationed at the Army Post. Their beautiful home was exquisitely arranged and the graphophone furnished music for two hours the fore part of the evening and later the little sisters of Mrs. Harding furnished excellent music on the mandolin and guitar, which added cheerfulness to all hearts. At an early hour the spacious dining room was opened and two large tables which seated just 12 people were filled. At one end of the dining hall Mr. and Mrs. Banks served and at the other end Mrs. Macey and Mr. Peter Hudlin, and to say that the tables fairly groaned with the many tempting and rich vias is putting it mildly. With a turkey on each table, scalloped oysters, turkey dressing, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes and hashed potatoes, macaroni, salads, pickles, etc., then the ice cream, cakes and coffee and many other things that ye writer cannot remember, all well cooked and exquisitely served. In fact it was a dinner that will long be remembered by the 25 fortunate ones who received invitations and compiled with their presence. Mr. and Mrs. Banks have but few equals in the art of entertaining their friends. Many kind expressions were extended the host and hostess on all present. COLONISTS RATES TO WASH INGTON, OREGON, ETC.

"I sometimes think that if I had my way in the matter I would make it a law that women should not have bank books," said the tired-looking cashier. "Some of their mistakes would put a consible schoolboy to shame. Among the checks handed in to me to day was one for quite a large amount which the woman who out had signed "Your loving Carlo." RESULTS OF COUNTY PRIMARIES The most exciting and perhaps greatest political contest for congressional honors ever waged in Iowa and last Monday at the primaries when Congressman John A. T. Hull, the present incumbent, was renominated so far as Polk county is concerned by Protuy. He received about 600 more votes and about 90 more delegates than Judge Protuy. The results even surprised everybody, for even the enthusiast thought the contest would be much closer than it was, while a death sentence was imposed. The treatment was for Protuy, but in the last few days there were things which operated against Mr. Protuy. However, it was a great victory for the Hull men. The rest of the county ticket was nominated as follows: For county auditor, Lew Burnet; for county attorney, was recorded by Mr. Frank Dodson; for county attorney, Jesse A. Miller; for member of board of supervisors, Frank Morris, West Des Moines, and Andy Groves, for East Des Moines; for justice of the peace, West Des Moines, P. A. Moines; for justice of the peace, C. Klingman and O. C. Riddle; East Des Moines, justice of the peace, Fritz Heinz and Wm. Christy; constables, John Dally and Ed Sunburg. CUR NATIONAL CAPITAL LETTER. The usual quadrennial activity incident to the election of President, is everywhere present in the National Capital. Prominent men from all parts of the country are visiting the White House daily assuring the President of the unanimous support of their respective states. From this view point, it appears that Mr. Roosevelt will be nominated in June by acclamation. The question of a vice-presidential candidate seems now to be the only unsettled quantity. Two things have occurred in the United States House of Representatives recently, that give conclusive evidence of the fact, that what the people think of things, is gaining ground in the National Legislature. This potent force which has arrested the attention and large control the action of the members of the lower house of Congress, showed itself in the final question of that body on the question of Civil Service and the payment of the mileage of the members to the second session of the 58th Congress. A solar plexus blow was given the Civil Service when it was voted to strike out the appropriation for its maintenance, but the people were heard from and not a shadow of a doubt was left as to their endorsement of the merit system. The call for the yeas and nays showed that something "had dropped" and the appropriation for the Civil Service passed with a good majority. Thus it was with the mileage question. It appeared that many of the Representatives desired to draw mileage for doing the impossible, i.e. packing grips, purchasing tickets (?), and speeding through space at the rate of from 40 to 2000 miles between two ticks of the clock, but when the people were heard from, the mileage question went with opposition to the Civil Service appropriation. There is in this condition of things a degree of encouragement to the ten million of Negroes in this country. While we have never contended for any congressional action to benefit the Negro especially we do claim that such congressional action should be had that will give to him with other citizens, the full enjoyment of the laws already enacted for the whole people. It is clear to the interested observer that the people of this country are slowly but surely coming to the realization of the fact that the country's progress cannot be certain and substantial, so long as a part of its citizens enjoy the full privilege of its laws, while the other part is denied this enjoyment. Therefore, it is a source of encouragement to the Negro that congressional action, and in time they will demand that the laws as enacted, be administered in the case of every man, be he black or whites with equity and justice. The people will be heard. It has been for sometime our belief that there are men in this country whose prejudicial environ- ments, littlest of heart, and microscopic conceptions, make them unable to see anything good in any Negro, or the least evidence of a high plane of civilization for him. Men of this class, we believe, as far as they are able to see, are sincere in their opposition to the Negro, just as some in the days of Christ declared that "No good thing could come out of Nazareth." But when it comes to considering the opposers of the Negro of the Tilman and Vardaman stripe, the scene changes, and we are face to face with that green-eyed, wilful prejudice, such as should only characterize those of the lowest grades of creation, and not the occupants of the high and honored positions of United States Senator and Governor of a state. These positions are emblematic of statesmanship, culture and intelligence, but the public utterances of Tillman and Vardman on the Negro, show that both have been placed in positions of which they are incapable, by fact and reason as well as intelligence an statesmanship, and we cannot be made believe that they represent the yeomanry of their respective states. CLINTON. Washington D.C., who has been quite ill for the past several days, is slightly improved. For awhile last week his life was despaired of. Clinton Lodge of Masonus gave a dinner at his half hour on Fifth avenue last Tuesday night. A goodly number were present, and from appearances surely enjoyed themselves. S. C. Smith visited with his family last week. He was successful family reunion was held at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. W. A. Richardson on First avenue on last Thursday evening. Of the members of Mrs. Richardson's family those present were Mrs. Hopkins, mother of Mrs. Richardson, Mr. Dickens, father of Mrs. Dickens, William the former a brother of the hostess; Murda Beason, daughter of the hostess, and Miss Bush, an invited guest. The evening was spent in music and social conversation. During the evening a delectable repast was served in casserole. The evening remains quite feeble. S. C. Smith spent a short time in the triples last week. Billy Allen and wife visited in Davenport last week. GALEBURG *LL, NEWS. Mrs. Sedge Harris entertained the Autumn Leaf club last week and she proved herself to be an excellent entertainer. Eighteen members were present and four visitors. Mrs. Yula Bates of Davenport was present. After a short program lunch was served, she felt the feeling they had a good time. Mrs. Lewis Lyons will entertain this week. Mrs. J. B. Evans, who has been troubled with her eyes several years, is not well at this writing. Some of her friends and others, remembered her with a nice little donation last week, of which she is very grateful. The Second Baptist church installed their pastor, Rev. C. D. Douglas, Sabbath. Both churches united, Baptist and Methodist, in welcoming him to Rev. Anderson, D. D., of Springfield, IL, preached morning and evening. In the afternoon a lovely program was rendered by the choir. They sang several anthems. Greeting from Grace from the choir, Solo, Mrs. Stella Lyon Bolder; greeting from A. M. E. church by Rev. J. H. Ferriee. Mrs. Ada Davis, church clerk, gave the welcome address in behalf of the church. Miss Laura Richardson spoke in behalf of the church, for a joint board. J. C. Carter for the trustees. Response by Rev. C. D. Douglas, which was to the point in every respect. He comes to the church highly recommended. All join in wishes of success. The Allen Guards of the A. M. E. church gave a tap on social last Thursday evening. This club assists the trustees of the church. Rev. Chas. M. Sheldon, author of "In His Steps," preached at the Central church Sunday morning and evening to hundreds of people. Writer had the pleasure of sharing with her. She, in company with Mrs. Emma Kidd Ward and Kimbrew, were so carried away with the thought of hearing the man who had written such an excellent book, that they found themselves in the same time and when they come to they said the next time I go to church I will know the time. SUPERIOR, WIS. BUGETARIAN. One of the swellest affairs of the season was the reception given by the "Light House" Literary society at the A. M. E. church Thursday evening, February 25, in honor of members and friends of the church. The hours were from 8:30 to 10:30 in the room were beautifully decorated in green, white and red.

Every one expressed themselves as being highly entertained, saying it was the 8,500 Iowa People Use the Kimball Piano If you want a strictly high grade plano call at our warerooms and investigate. finest affair ever given at the head of the lakes. Much credit is due Miss Anna Harris, president, and Mrs. Geo Wade, who with the assistance of the other members worked so faithfully to make the reception a success. The society now has twenty-one members, Mrs. Fred Johnson is confined to the house with illness at this writing. Rew. Wade is preparing an entertaining concert in commemoration of the 15th amendment.

We should all feel as proud as they, and can only say she looks very messy in her mealtime. Messrs. Huff and Kildeen have gone to St. Paul to defend indefinitely. issue identity. Quite a number of young men are in the city. Superior has an abundance of young men. Now if you could just get in a few more young ladies our city would be more like we would have it. All young ladies would like to emigrate and are looking for husband, come to Superior have them, and assure them if they once come to the head of the lakes they will not leave. CEDAR RAPIDS One of the saddest accidents happened last Monday morning to Miss Adah Stewart. While operating the mangle in the laundry department of the Grand hotel her finger was caught causing her hand to be crushed up as far as the wrist. Amputation will perhaps be necessary. First the Martin was badly burned last week by having a pot of boiling tea fall on him. He is doing as well as may be expected under the circumstances, but will probably be an invalid for some time. Mrs. Daisy Martin has been called to the bedside of a sick brother in Bedford. Very rarely books were turned in Sunday and a good sum was realized. At the J. S. Y. Club last week the yearly report was read by the secretary, giving the clubs some pleasing results of the past year's work.

NOTHING TOO SMALL TO STEAL City Merchant Complains of the Prevalence of Disaster "The old saying, that nothing is too small to steal is exemplified in our business," said a manufacturer of custom-made clothing. "Our thread gives us lots of trouble. We have to keep a watchful eye upon it. The case in which it is kept is under the supervision of our most trusted employee. If he chose to be dishonest we rob us of $5,006 a year and we rob on the wiser. We would, perhaps, cut the excess using more thread than usual, but the excess might be attributed to other causes. "We have to check out every spool we give to our tailors. Even at this we are in danger of having a cheaper grade substituted. The difference in the price of the spools may be only two cents, but it offers a temperature if the spool is stamped on a large scale. Some years ago we were forced to the conclusion that a 'fence' was being operated to dispose of stolen thread. The spools were sold by peddlers from house to house. This suspicion caused large establishments to have each spool stamped with dyes which cut into the stool, stating that the thread was stolen, such as and such a shop, the name of which was stamped on the spool." KNEW HIS OWN. TERRAPIN. Virginian Identified it by its Peculiar Expression. "Tidewater Virginia," said Mr. E. L. White of Lancaster, Va., at the Shoreham recently, "is the most delightful and wonderful country in the world. Everything that heart can wish or the appetite can fancy is produced from the fertile fields and the great forests of the coast to the bay. Nothing ever surpassed her oysters, her fish, her ducks, her diamond-back terrarips. "The terrapin farming," he continued, "is a remarkable business and very lucrative. But it requires a large outlay of capital and a great deal of labor. Each owner of a farm—as the little water front fenced in for the purpose is called—zealously guards his domain and resents the slightest encroachment by the slightest threat to it; that these men engaged in the business have learned to know their own terrapins by the expression of their faces. Not long ago a negro boy was arrested in one of the lower counties in the Rappahannock river for stealing a 'diamond back,' and he was convicted upon the testimony of the owner, who swore point blank that the said terrapin was a stolen property his 'farm,' because he recognized the aforesaid terrapin by its individual expression of countenance, which he had studied for years. "He stated also that all his terrapins had the same smile and gentle look out of the quiet eyes; that he would know them all once anywhere in the world. I tell you, str.

Western Canada Will Soon Become the Supply Depot for Wheat for Great Britain. During the past year about 50,000 Americans went from the United States to Canada. Most of these settled upon farm lands, and the writer is informed by agents of the Canadian Government that the greatest assurance they offered is nearly all. To their friends on this side of the boundary line the highest assurance is given of the prosperity that is in store for them. There will always be a splendid market for all the grain, cattle, and other produce that can be raised in Western Canada, and with the advantages offered of a free hopestead of 160 acres of land, and other lands which may be bought cheaply, and an efficient, system, educational advantages of the best, what more is required. The husbandman gets more return for his money than in any other country in the world.

The poisonous nicotine in tobacco is removed by steeping the leaves in a solution of tannic acid. This is the method adopted by a German chemist. To improve the flavor of the tobacco it is then treated with a flavor of marjoram. A butcher in Cleveland received a visit from a shabby looking man, who said he wanted three cents worth dog meat. He said he had a handful of scraps he said: "Shall I wrap it up or do you want to eat it here?" The "hello girls" will probably consider Signor Turchi, of Ferrara, Italy, a scientific messie. He has invented an apparatus, called the "separator," for transmitting telegraphic and telephonic messages simultaneously over a single wire. A large bathing room is built in every new school erected in Switzerland. Each class bathes about once a fortnight, summer and winter. Soap is used and a warm bath is followed by a cooler one.

Liberal terms are also offered for an assortment of spiders, mice and rats." DOCTOR'S COFFEE And His Daughter Matched Him. Coffee drink troubled the family of a physician of Grafton, W. Va., who describes the situation briefly: "Having suffered quite a while from vertigo, palpitation of the heart and many other derangements of the nervous system and finding no relief from usual methods of treatment, I thought to see how much there was in the Postmortum argument against coffee. "So I resorted to Postmort, cutting off the coffee and to my surprise and satisfaction have found entire relief from all my sufferings, proving conclusively the beneficial effect of coffee and the way to be rid of it. "I have found Postmort completely takes the place of coffee both in flavor and in taste. It is becoming more popular every day with many of our people and is having great demand here. My daughter, Mrs. Long, has been a sufferer for a long time from attacks of acute indigestion. By the dismissal of coffee and using Postmort in its place she has obtained complete relief. "I have also heard from many others who have used your Postum very favorable accounts of its good effects. "I prescribe Postum in place of coffee in a great many cases and I believe that upon its merits Postum will come into general use." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek Mich.

Calve to New York, a few days ago, was the small son of a musician who is her particular pet. "He is a full of funny—what is sat you call it—chaff—as ze nut is full of ze meat. He say to me: What a chaff cost you! I say sat leetle children in come for half ze price. 'Is sat so?' say he; 'se my grandmur, must she pay double?'" Seldom does a coroner find a human delictoon as accommodating as one who is not a child. In New York, the other day and died in the ambulance. His pockets were searched for something by which to identify him and, in addition to a pair of eye glasses, a key, a piece of soap and a knife, a slip of paper was found inscribed as follows: "I am murderer. I have no honor. In case of death don't notify anyone. I am subject to heart trouble." Misa Gulilla P. Morrison, a beile of Washington, D. C., is witty as well as beautiful. She is fond of driving a dashing pair of horses, hitched to a Russian sleigh. During a recent cold snap she was out driving and as she drew up at the end of the speedway, she was greeted by a friend, an artist, "Good afternoon," he said, "you remind me of the Titanian, Vera, when she had her bell. You shi'r' retorted the lady, "you know perfectly well she would not have ventured out in her costume on a day as cold as this." Lloyd Morgan, professor of mineralogy and geology at the University of Oxford, England, tells a story of an English commercial magnate who came to him to consult about the instruction of his business. He succeeded in his vast business interests. "But mind you," he said. "I don't want him to learn about strata, or dips, or faults, or upheavals, or dondulations, and I don't want him to fill his mind with fossils or stuff about minerals. And I don't want him is how to find gold and silver and copper in paying quantities, sir—in paying quantities." Thomas Nelson Page, the author, was, in his early career, an attorney, it may have been his experience with one of his first clients, an old negro, that made him turn from law to literature. The controversy was over a small case, and Mr. Page held out a ray of hope to him. "If you have got any more money, Uncle Jim," he said, "we can take the case to a higher court." "Cose Iaint got no mo' money, Marse Tom" was the old darter. "I'd like any lawyer with talking about I'd got a good lawyer in de facto place."

At the New York democratic state convention of 1832, held in Syracuse, there was some talk of Grover Cleveland, then mayor of Buffalo, for governor. Cleveland was not much known then but he had a champion in the late William C. Whitney. During the convention Mr. Whitney approached Daniel Kahneman, a former formidable statue, and said: "The man who can defeat the coalitions worst is that buxon Buxonian, Grover Cleveland. You up-State democrats want to unite with the New York county democracy on Cleveland, and we will not only elect him governor this fall, but president a little later. I have never met him, but I know he was a man. Mr. Kahneman symbol and turning to his stout companion, said: "Mr. Whitney, allow me to introduce you to Grover Cleveland, of Buffalo." Mr. Cleveland was nominated and elected by, over one hundred and fifty thousand majority. W. D. Howells, the novelist, seldom falls, when any one has an animal advertised on his corpulence, to come out with a neat retort. When Mr. Howells was consul at Venice a very lean and long American said to him one day, jocose by: "If I were as fat as you I'd go and hang myself." "Well," said Mr. Howells, "if I ever take your advice I'll use you for a rope." Major Ben C. Truman, writing of the late Collins P. Huntington, tells of an incident illustrative of the rail road magnate's industrious habits and abstemiousness. Major Truman called on Mr. Huntington in his New York office, and at about noble his host drew from his pocket something he had never done up in a minkkin, and said: "Here is my lunch, major. I have so much to do, you know; and I can not spend must time eating in the middle of the day. But I have requested your old friend Colburn to take you around on Broadway and see that you have moving more to your liking and time." Washington, Feb. 25.-Senate.-The senate today considered at some length the bill requiring the use of American ships in carrying government supplies, but without action, adjourned for want of a quorum. House.-The house passed the naval appropriation bill today after having it under consideration for a week. There was a party contest on a number of propositions during the day, especially on an effort of different minority members to secure an amendment to fix the price of armor plate at the figure bid by the Midale Steel company. Several amendments were ruled out on points of order, and the senate approved parliamentary tactics left the matter of armor plate in the discretion of the secretary of the navy. Washington, Feb. 27.—Senate.—The senate today approached nearer to a filibuster than on any former occasion during the present session. The demonstration was made on the part of the democratic senators against the proposed shipments to the shipment of government supplies, and amendment after amendment was offered, only to be laid on the table on motion of M. Hale, in response to the senate's votes were interspersed with debate, so that between the two forms of procedure the entire session was consumed. House. The house today devoted nearly the entire session to the passage of 659 convulsive bills. Washington, Feb. 29. —Senate…During consideration of the District of Columbia appropriation bill in the house today Mr. Scott of Kansas made the declaration that a negro had dined at the White house with see-saw and a white man had first administration. The statement was prompted by a reference by Mr. Gilbert of Kentucky to the dining of Washington in the house. When the bill was demanded Mr. Scott said it was C. H. J. Tayler, who was appointed by President Cleveland as recorder of deeds for the District of Columbia. Architectural changes made in the White house were the subject of a large share of today's discussion in the senate, and they were generally criticised as falling short of the improvements — which should have been secured with the apportionment. The discussion arose in connection with the consideration of the bill providing for the erection of a building for the joint use of the departments of state, justice and commerce and the bill was not concluded. Washington, March 1. —Senate. The senate today passed the bill requiring the use of American vessels in transporting government supplies, and took up the bill prohibiting the use of other than American vessels in shipping merchandise to the Philippines, and relieving the inter-island trade of the Philippines from the exactions of the costwise laws of the United States. The first mentioned requirement of the latter bill is allowance, but this measure enacts it in different form. House. The house today concluded general debate on the District of Columbia appropriation bill. A variety of subjects other than the bill were discussed. Washington, March 2. —Senate. The bill for the regulation of Philippine shipping was again the principal subject of consideration by the senate today. It was made the subject of a somewhat general discussion of the Philippine question, and was amended so as to defer to year 2000 for the ship to be affected. A large number of private pension bills were massed. House.—The house devoted the entire day to consideration of the District of Columbia appropriation bill, but did not conclude, action, on the measure. Washington, March 3.—Senate. For almost four hours today the senate while technically engaged on the naval appropriation bill discussed a wide range of subjects, including the policy of the United States in the philippines and the United States with its principal participants were Messrs. Hale, Bacon, Lodge, Dewpe, Patterson, Perkins and Money. House.—The house passed the District of Columbia appropriation bill and then began consideration of the bill. He then asked the commission of New York, chairman of the committee on Indian affairs, explained the provisions of the bill. He said it provided that the Dawes commission by July, 1806, and then terminate. The Train: Kills A Man. Mason City, March 3. A Milwaukee train killed a man near Ventura, who proves to be Jasper Bermelster, 50 years old, who worked on the farm of his father. Tracks of two men leading to and from the place where he was killed lead to the belief that he was robbed, as his watch and money are gone. Bermelster was simple minded and adhoc. Doctor Rodgers Sentenced. Tipton, Feb. 29—Dr. A. E. Rodgers, formerly of this place, but now of Stanhope, who was found guilty at this term of court for forging his sisters' name to a note or $650, has been convicted of fifteen months by Judge Miller. "Is there any thing between you and my daughter," "Nothing but you." The teachers—"And now, Sammy, where the declaration of Independence signed?" Sammy—"At de bottom." Fusionist—"I believe in the office seeking the man." Regular—"That's all right if you don't want the office." Many a rich father has discovered that it is easier to get a daughter off his hands than to keep a son-in-law on his feet. They say that the barrenness over there is a past." "Oh, no, I assure you. It's present!" "I can always tell when you are going to tell a lie," said Captain Gregg to Leagg. "How?" asked Gregg. "I see you open your mouth." said Gregg. Miss Carry Moore—"She calls him her intended. Are they engaged?" Miss Cutting Hintz—"No, she intons to marry him." Mark Twain does not let his New York friends forget him. He recently wrote from Frohman to one of them: "My house is the charcoal. So I shall get an autobiography. Don't say anything to the fellows who are writing their lives in ohavo." THE LEGISLATURE.

Des Moines, March 2—What is known as the English bill regulating the consolidation of insurance concerns in Iowa was strictly passed. The author of state and the insurance concerns interested in it and had no opposition. The house also passed the bill regulating the consolidation of fraternal insurance concerns. It covers the same ground as the general bill but a special act was passed because the fraternal did not have the authority to statute. The house passed the Bealer bill promoting preference to be given veterans of the civil war in public appointments. Des Molles, March 2.—Senate.—The senate passed five bills, two of them of considerable importance. The two important bills were house file No. 61, appropriating money for the purpose of inspecting county and private institutions and the house joint resolution relative to the duties of the commissioner of bureau of labor statistics.

New York, Feb. 29. - Advices from La Paz, Bolivia, announce that the traditional treasurer at the lakes, has been discovered at Challacqua, cables the Herald's Lima, Peru, correspondent to the lakes, to $18,000. The discoverers are of various nationalities and are now quarreling over the treasurer, although a legal contract exists between them as to the division. The authorities have interfered in the matter. We worry over the extravagances of others more than we do our own. When he was eleven years old the late St Henry Kepel, the "little admirer of the British fleet, and his father Tom were asked by their father, what profession they would select and both decided for the navy. "Father thought," St Henry wrote in his memoirs, "we should have separate professions. As we disagreed I hit Tom in the eye, which he, being bigger the owe, had grown. When he had grown, father decided we should both be sailors." Binks-"Fact is, old chap. I find that drink interferes with my work, so I have decided to knock off work." An amusing story is told of Mr. Sanger, the zoologist, and a bore. "What steps you incline to take, sir in the event of tiger tiger effecting his liberty?" "Very lang ones," replied the laconic zoologist. Mrs. Kenyon Cox, the artist, had a visitor a child of five, a quaint old man, a child of the child's name united, and she cried Cox to it for her. "Why, can't you tie it yourself?" asked Mrs. Cox. "Because I'm in front," was the reply. DOCTORS FALL IN LINE. Practicing Physicians recognize the untailing reliability of Doan's Kidney Pills by prescribing them for Backache, Kidney, Bladder, and Urinary Disorders—a tribute by no other Proprietary Medicine. Four cases cited from "Notes of His Practice," by Dr. Lafont Williamson, of Yorktown, Ark. FOSTER-MILBURN Co., Buffalo, N. Y. YORKTOWN, ARK., Mar. 1, 1904. FOSTER-MILBURN Co., Buffalo, N. Y. Gentleman: I have been engaged in the practice of medicine in this section for ten years. This is a very sickly climate, on the Bay Bartholomew, near the Arkansas River. It is particularly malarious and miasmatic; we meet with many and various abnormal conditions of the human family, prominent among the cases in which I have been called upon to prescribe is kidney disease. Many of these disorders manifest themselves by pains in the back, often extending to other parts of the body; sometimes headache is present, caused by uramic or chronic uric acid poisoning, soreness in region of kidneys, cloudy, thickened and soul-smelling urine, discharges of pus or corruption; inflammation of the kidneys, extending to the bladder, is caused by excess of uric acid and decomposition of the urine. Hemorrhage is sometimes met with, caused by birth of inflammation or congestion. There is no class of diseases a doctor is called oftener to treat than the variety of kidney diseases, in many of which the patient will have chills or rigors, followed by fever, a result of the kidneys failing to eliminate the uric acid poison from the system. Such cases require the kidneys restored to their natural functions, then the poison and foreign substances are removed—shock to the nervous system averted, and natural health restored. I have, for some time, been using Doan's Kidney Pills in these many manifestations and with uniform success, curing most cases. I can further say that even in hopeless cases where they have waited too long, Doan's Kidney Pills afford much relief and prolong life. I can recommend the pills in conditions of excessive or deficient secretion of urine, as also in convalescence from swamp-fever and malarial attacks, as verified by the following cases in my practice. These are a few of the typical cases in which I have used Doan's Kidney Pills. In a great many instances I use them alone with curative results, while with some others indicated remedies are associated. I believe that by the judicious use of Doan's Pills many serious complications are arrested and many hopeless and incurable cases of Bright's disease prevented. I have often found that one box of the pills is all that is required to effect a cure, but in some cases I continue their use until all symptoms are entirely absent and the cure effectual and permanent.

PINKHAM—Your medicine is indeed an ideal woman's medicine, and by far the best I know to restore lost health and strength. I suffered misery for severen years, being troubled with menorrhagia. My back ached, I had bearing-down pains and frequent headaches. I would often sleep, keep awake, and in such pain that I suffered for hours before I could go to sleep again. I was very tired, and I consulted two different physicians, hoping to get relief, but, finding that their medicine did not seem to cure me, I tried your Vegetable Compound on the recommendation of a friend from the East who was visiting me. I am glad that I followed her advice, for every ache and pain is gone, and that my general health is much improved, having a fine appetite and having gallstones, so I decided to put away all other medicines and to take Lydin E.

CONSUMPTION RUSSIANS PRESS ON INTO KOREA TO PRESERVE THE FRIENDSHIP Russia and United States On Eve of Understanding—Campaign of Recrimination is Deprecated By the Russians. Tokio, March 3.—It has been learned that the Russians have occupied the telegraph offices at Anji and Yongyon, north of Ping Yang, Korea. They have imprisoned the district governor and have confiscated official papers. The Russian force near Anji numbers about forty men. The main Russian force is concentrated at Liao Yang, 120 miles northwest of Antung. The Russians near Antung on the Yalu river aggregate 2,000. No important engagement is expected south of the Yalu river, which it is believed the Russians will make their main line of defense. Ping Bang, March 3.—Major General Plug, Viceroy Alexeff's chief of staff, sends in the following telegram, dated March 2: "According to additional information which has reached me, our patrols having passed the night eight hours before we arrived, proclaimed that town on the morning of February 29. They were closely pressing a Japanese patrol of seven oncers. Lieutenant, Lonchakoff attacked this patrol with three Cossacks, forcing it to retreat at a gallop. The patrols were then attacked. "The presence of our patrols near Ping Yang caused great alarm and soon the enemy's sharpshooters marched the wall and towers and opened fire, expecting an attack. According to the patrols within 700 pages of Ping Yang, which they found to be surrounded by both old and new ramparts. These, however, were not yet occupied by the enemy and it is supposed that the Japanese had not more than 1,000 men of Ping Yang. St. Petersburg, March 3—The Russian government earnestly desires the conservation of the ancient friendship, between the United States and the empire. The opinion is expressed that the eve of a better understanding of the points concerning which dinerenses have existed. The campaign of recrimination which is progressing in a portion of the press of both countries is deprecated and the Russian government is unable for the utterances of Russian papers against the United States, which in turn, have infamed a portion of the American press against Russia. An officer of the foreign office points to the erroneous impression prevailing abroad that Russian newspapers, owing to the censorship exercised over the news, expressed only such views as is sanctioned by the authorities, whereas, as a matter of fact, the newspapers, editorially have the authority to embarrass the government by unrestrained criticism of other countries. The correction of the original version of the Vicksburg incident at Chemulpo has already affected Russian public opinion favorably. PANAMA CANAL IS IN SIGHT. Attorney General Knox Holde Conference With President. Washington, March 3—A conclusion of the negotiations for the title to the Panama canal property is in sight.

My hearing had been somewhat impaired for several years, but not so much affected but that I could hold converse with my friends; but in June, 1901, my sense of hearing left me so that I could hear no sound whatever. I was also troubled with severe rheumatic pains in my limbs. I commenced taking Peruna and now my hearing is restored as good as it was prior to June, 1901. My rheumatic pains are all present. I cannot speak too highly of Perana, and now when eighty-eight years old can say it has invigorated my whole system."—Rev. J. N. Parker. Mr. W. B.

In the winter I would not talk about my remedies. Then I wrote to Dr. Hartman for advice, and he wrote that I should commence the use of Peruna, and I did not lose one day last winter that I could not send to my stock. I am atty- ness, and I did not lose too much for what you have done for me.

That Ellot Zborwoksl, who was killed on Tuesday in an auto accident at Nice, died as he did, will be no surprise to those in this city who remember him as the greatest daredevil New York and Newport society had held. Even Foxhall Keene, who has had his bone in his body broken, was not alone. American count for his wild, reckless disregard for life. He was born in this city of a long line of Zborwoksl. Strangely enough, his death is in keeping with the traditions of his family, for none of the male members ever dies in bed. Back of this remarkable circumstance is a tale of a four generations ago launched at the great-greatfather of Ellot Zborwoksl by an Irish lord, who, in his anger, upon heaven to prevent any male Zborwoksl from ever dying in his bed. None has since. Elliot's father was stricken with paralysis and died in his chair before the son could ride for a physician. One of his uncles, Elliot, was killed by a New York New Haven & Hartford train. Another, Francis, was drowned in a Williamsbridge pond. Still another member of the family was killed by being thrown from a horse, and so the story has gone.
