YOUR MOVE. (Special to Bystander.) Marshalltown, 1a., April 8.—My Dear Sir: I would beg leave of you to permit me space in your honorable paper to say a few words to the public, and also to those who are contemplating on coming to Marshalltown to make their future home. We notice on our streets a great many strangers; some of them have obtained employment and some have found a good warm place in a saloon, where they hang out from day to day. Now there are quite a number of us who have made this city our home for twenty-five years, striving to build ourselves a good reputation of thrift and honesty, and unless there is a great change in the life of living of some who are here and a desire to get out and hustle. it will surely be your move, as we will not submit to it any longer. It is getting so our girls are not safe away from home, for fear they will be induced by soft words and pleasant smiles to go where they have no business. The white citizens have asked us to help them to get rid of this class and we have accepted the offer. We have no fault to find with those who want and show it to be their desire to work, do right and be honest. There happened in our midst an incident, a few days ago, that has driven from us one of the best friends that we had in the city. A Negro applied to Mrs. J. L. Williams for a good hot meal which she refused and told him to get out. He would not go until she called to her son to bring the 'shot gun; then he ran. This has stirred up the town, and as I said before this will not effect the honest Negro, but to those who are gamblers and everything else but what is honorable and upright. If you come here, we do not care if you are from Missouri or any other state, we will certainly show you. Yours for the betterment of the race, I. L. BROWN. MORE LIGHT ON ORIGIN OF THE NEGRO RACE. To the Editor: It seems to me that some reply should be made to William C. McCracken's article in the Battle Ground entitled "Khilians Not Negroes." This communication is rather a seeking after more light than a reply, since the information Mr. McCracken gives is of such startling nature and contrary to all preconceived notions. The so-called Negro is of a variegated race, which no scientist has yet exactly classified, although the Bible makes it clear that he is a son of Ham. Rev. Dr. Koele, a missionary to Africa, brought to America the vocabulary of more than two hundred well formed languages representing as many people, to say nothing of other tribes not yet studied. Their color shades gradually from a light brown to a jet black, with hair crisp and curly. In view of the above I am at a loss to know how Mr. McCracken fixes so readily the color and other characteristics of the Negro. The same is true of the people of Abyssina, who are as varied in physical appearance and color as the American Negro. This brings us to Mr. McCracken's play on the words Cush, Cushite, Ethiopian and Negro. He makes the statement that the Babylonians were Cushites, but not Negroes, and that Moses married a Cushite woman and not a Negro and Psalm 68:31 does not mean a black man. If any one will take the trouble to look up the Hebrew word Cush, he will find that it is derived from the Egyptian word Kesh, and that the Egyptians used this word to define a people living to the west of Egypt, including Nubia, Meros and certain other dark rises to their south, extending into Abyssina and northeast into Asia. Easton does not hesitate to translate Cush as black, and says further that the representations upon the Egyptian monuments are those of a distinct Negro type. Easton, Smith, Strong and the Century Dictionary all agree with this same translation—black. Since Kesh is the oldest word de- fining the Negro, this ought to be evidence enough. It may further be said that the King James version invariably translates this word into the Greek derived from "Aithos" (Aithops), and the Greeks used this word in referring to the same people denoted by the Egyptian "Kesh." "Aithos" means a burnt face, darkness, gray and black. The translation of "Aithops" to mean black is so well established that science has adopted it in describing certain minerals and chemicals, such as "Eithiops" mineral, meaning a black sulphite of mercury; and "Eithiops" material, meaning black oxide of iron. The word Negro is from the Latin Niger or Neger, and is the most recent of the words defining the families or tribes of Ethiopia, and needs no other comment than to say that all authorities agree in giving this word the same general interpretation, describing the same Egyptian Kesh or Cush. It must not be understood, though, that the Cushite was confined to Cush. Many good authors might be quoted to show that the Cushite at different times inhabited parts of Egypt, Arabia, Babylonia, Persia and Western India, and there if alsy evidenee to show that the Negro, Ethiopian, or Cushite, as you choose to call him, had good government, large armies, and was a force in the world.

Mrs. Harding was a conscientious, earnest Christian mother who had struggled very hard to raise her family, although a widow. Her oldest daughter died a few years ago. We extend our sorrow and condolence, and hope that this noble mother's character will ever stand out in her orphan children—Ed. Below we publish an article from the children: In memorial of Mrs. Myra Harding, who departed this life April 10th, 1904. She was born in Louisville, Kentucky, Feb. 1st, 1854. She was converted in Atchison, Kansas when quite young and since that time has lived a consistent Christian. Mrs. Harding moved her family to this city about eight years ago, and has made a host of friends who deeply mourn her death. She leaves five children; Charles, William, Grace, Ada and Frances, whom are well known in church circles, and they wish to return many thanks to their friends who have been so very kind to them during their mother's illness and since her death, especially Mrs. J. W. Fields and the numerous white friends. "A precious one from us has gone. A loving voice is stillled A chair is vacant in our home That never can be filled." The Children. KEOKUK NOTES.

The string with which a dethanded "darling of the gods" does up the articles you buy is made of paper. The handkerchief (thrown away after use) is paper, the partitions dividing the houses are paper, and the pane through which an indiscreet eye looks at you is paper! The pane is certainly wanting in transparency, but there is a simple remedy. One finger is passed through the paper—that is all! Afterward a small piece is stuck on the opening with a grate. The more hats, the cloak of the porter who carries his burden, singing a cadence, through the rain; the garment of the boatman who conducts you on board, the tobacco pouch, cigar case—all are paper! Those elegant flowers ornamenting the beautiful hair of the Japanese ladies, and those robe collars which are taken for crape—paper! NO CAUSE FOR GRATITUDE. And Sturdy Scotchman Gave No Lip Service to Hia Maker. The following example of a quaint, philosophical Scotch character is related in the Scottish American: The season had been an exceptionally bad one for farming, but in a church not far from Arbroath the officials had resolved, according to custom, to hold a meeting of the church. It was noticed that on that particular occasion Mr. Johnstone, a regular attendant and pillar of the church (whose crops had miserably failed), was not in attendance. The minister in the course of the following week met Mr. Johnstone and inquired of him if his absence from church on such occasions (the Weel, *sr.* replied Mr. Johnstone, *i dina care about approachin' my Maker in a speerit o' sarcasm.* Ambassador Bearded Czar. Sir Jerome Bowes, Queen Elizabeth both's ambassador to Ivan the Terrible, czar of Russia, in 1583, had an exciting time. Ivan had killed his own son a few years earlier in a fit of passion, and was no easy character to deal with. The czar saw fit to disapare the English queen, whom, he declared, "he did not reckon to be his son." But the time when he better hers, Bowes could not stand this sort of thing, and pluckly asserted that his princess was as great as any in Christendom. "What! As great as the emperor of Germany?" demanded Ivan. "Why." answered Bowes, with a fine assumption of scorn, "such is the greatness of the queen, my mistress, that the king her father had not long since the emperor of France." The czar was at last burdened, than ever, but in time he took Bowes into his favor. Old Hymns. Measuring a Wink. How fast can a man wink? One who is interested in this fascinating subject has made experiments in connection with it, and successfully measured the time occupied by the several phases of the movement. He says: "The mean duration of the descent of the lid is seventy-five to ninety-one thousandths of a second. The interval while the eye is shut was in one case only fifteen hundredths of a second. The rising of the lid occupied approximately a quarter of a specially-arranged photographic apparatus was used for the experiment." Export Millions of Rabbitts.

Trouble Was They Could Not Keep Ahead of the Train. "While I was traveling out in Ohio last month," said a drummer, "I had occasion to patronize a miserable one-horse' railroad which serves several of the Ohio river towns. We were fogging along at a distressingly low rate of speed when of a sudden the train came to a dead stop in the middle of a large meadow. Many of the passengers whose patience had become exhausted asked a brakeman the cause of the delay. "There's a herd of cows on the track ahead," he answered. "In about ten minutes the train got under way again, jerking convulsively along for about a mile or so. It again came to a halt. That wrath of a brakeman who was sitting near the door turned to the brakeman, who was plainly annoyed by the many questions, and said irritably: "What in thunder is the matter, anyhow? "Why, we've caught up to the cows again! sarcastically explained the brakeman." NERVOUS IMPULSE IN MEN. Research Shows That It Varies Slightly in Individuals. A curious instance of the care and minuteness with which the human body is now studied, in the effort better to understand its powers and functions, is furnished by a paper read recently at a meeting of the Royal Society in London on the "Rapidity of the Nervous Impulse in Tail and Short Individuals." Even the difference in time required for a "nerve telegram" to traverse the bodies of different people is regarded as a matter of scientific importance. A series of observations has shown that the length of the nerve does not affect the velocity with which an impulse passes between the brain and the extremities, and consequently that more time is needed if the pain is relieved. It is also clear that a short man should feel a hit on his corn quicker than a tall man, but the difference is slight that the offender has no better chance of escape in one case than in the other. Youth's Commotion. Poison of Plants. While strong plants destroy weaker ones by crowding, or by depriving them of air, light or food, it is rather surprising to hear that one plant may poison another. In a recent case reported in England the plant called humea elegans, which exhales a powerful odor of Russia leather, was placed in a greenhouse near a peach tree. The tree had the latter began to wither and fall off. The influence was felt even at considerable distance, the result being that at last the young leaves were all stripped from the peach vine. Claim World's Finest Choir The Cathedral of Alexander Nevskoi, St. Petersburg, is said to have the finest choir in the world. It is composed of about thirty of the best voices in the Russian monasteries. Whenever a novice with an exceptionally good voice is entered he is sent to the monastery of Alexander Nevskoi, where he is trained as carefully as an opera singer, and remains there doing nothing except assisting at the morning and weeps in the afternoon until he becomes aged, when he is retired on a pension.

For years past an old woman has solicited charity from visitors to the Pere Lachise cemetery, Cemetery Pearl. She was known as "The Cemetery Pearl," from the habit she had of collecting the imitation pearls which fell from the wreaths in the cemetery. She was returning to the garret where she lived, when she fell unconscious on the pavement, overcome by the cold. At the police station government, and municipal bonds worth $6,000 were found upon her and at her house papers representing another $10,000. Painless Dentistry. When a Chinaman wants to have a tooth drawn he feels no nervous apprehension of pain, for the excellent reason that he knows his dentist will not inflict any. The latter simply rubs a secret power over the aching tooth, fills it with saline, squeezes and the toe falls out. Many attempts have been made by Europeans to get some of this mysterious powder, but no one has yet succeeded. Time Is Money. inter- in one a se- occupied cond. A ac app- ment."

Kilgore, O., April 11.—A rather re markable case has just come to light in this place. Mr. John T. Riegle had been suffering for some time with an aggrivated form of Kidney disease which had caused him a great deal of discomfort. He received treatment of several doctors, but did not get any better. At last he chanced to read an advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills, a remedy which has been making many wonderful cures, and he bought some at once and began to use them. He says of the result: "Dodd's Kidney Pills do just what they are advertised to do. I can praise them for the good they have done for me. They cured me completely, and I wish that every poor sufferer could hear of them, for I know they will cure Kidney trouble." There seems to be no case of Kidney Trouble, Rheumatism or Backache that Dodd's Kidney Pills will not cure perfectly and permanently. These things that are cooked in a chafing dish late at night taste terribly like crepe on the door. When Mauritus was captured by the British, from the French, in 1810, there was a gigantic turtle at the artillery barracks at Port Louis, and it is still there, although almost blind. It weighs 330 pounds, and stands two feet high when walking. Its shell is eight and one-half feet long, and it can carry two men on its back with ease. The candid correspondent of a Russian paper hastens to correct a misstatement that the "pips" in raspberry, strawberry and currant jams that are made of wood, bluntly declares that they are seeds of seame. "This," he reassuredly adds, "is quite harmless and gives a pleasing air of reality to what would otherwise appear a palpable fraud." The Persian army strikes a stranger with wonder, and he is apt to imagine that he is gazing upon the gathering of opera bouffe characters.

Occasionally the soldier headdress the wife of a soldier headdress the wife. ARMY TRIALS. An Infantryman's Long Siege. This soldier's tale of food is interesting. During his term of service in 17th Infantry in Guba and Philippines, an Ohio soldier boy contracted a disease of the stomach and bowels which all army doctors who treated him pronounced incurable, but which Grape Noodle food alone curdred. In October, 1899, when my enlistment expired, I was discharged from the army at Caluata, Philippines, and returned to the States on the first available steamer that left Manila. When I got home I was a total wreck physically and my doctor put me to bed saying he considered the morses broken-down man of my age he ever saw and after treating me 6 months he considered my case beyond medical. During the fall and winter of 1900 and '01 I was admitted to the Barnes Hospital in Washington. D.C. treatment for chronic inflammation of the stomach and bowels but after 6 months returned home as bad as ever. "I continued taking medicine until February, 1902, when reading a news paper one day I read about Grape-Nuts and was so impressed I sent out for a package right away. "The result is quickly told for I have used Grape-Nuts continually ever since with the best results, my health has been days' hard work stomach and bowels and in all the dittion, have gained 40 pounds in weight and I feel like a new man alto gather.

Washington, April 8.—Senate.—The contracts for cancelling machines used by the postoffice department was debated at length in the senate today in connection with the postoffice bill. The bill required a large number of bills, including the Philippine shipping bill and the bill appropriating $475,000 in aid of the Lewis and Clark continental exposition to be held in Portland, Ore. The only amendment made to the Philippine shipping bill was one offered by Mr. Lewis, extending until July 1, 1906, the time when the law shall become operative. Washington, April 8—Senate—in the senate today Mr. Spooner reponed to the democratic scripures on the conduct of the postoffice department and also traversed quite an extensive political field. He defended the course of the postmaster general in connection with the irregularities of his handling of the law, and effort on the part of democratic senators to secure a congressional inquiry was in the interest of party politics. He also defended the president against the charge of violating the law, which he said had been made by the democrats, declaring that in notting was the president so much distinguished as in his determination to enforce the law. No progress was made on the postoffice bill. House.—The recent executive order of the president relating to age as evidence of pensionable usability today furnished the text for an impassable run of New York to the members of the house to uphold the dignity of that body by refusing to submit to what he alleged to be the usurpation of the legislative authority of congress by the executive. The president and secretary of state supported in Messrs. Dalzell, Grosvenor, Gibson, Calderaer, Lacey and Hepburn. A resolution introduced by Mr. Cockran directing the committee on the judiciary to investigate the recent pension order was laid on the floor of the House.—Washington, April 11.—Senate: The Culberson amendment to the postoffice appropriation bill, providing for a commission to investigate the postoffice department was before the senate all of today and after being ruled out of order in modified form, when the senate adjourned. House.—The house today passed the bill reported by the committee on rivers and harbors appropriating $3,000,000 for the restoration or maintenance of channels, or of other river and harbor improvements. Mr. Burges, the chairman, explained in explaining the bill, urged the adoption of settled principles with regard to river and harbor work. Messrs. Burgess of Texas and Randall of Louisiana favored increases in the appropriation for river and harbor improvements, the former urging that they should be doubled, and the latter that they should be much. Mr. Clark of Missouri made a plea for the improvement of the Missouri river. Quite a large number of bills of minor importance were passed. Washington, April 12.—Senate-A sharp colloquy occurred in the senate today between Senators Teller and Hopkins, growing out of the reading session of the late General H. H. Thomas of Chicago, attacking the civil service administration of the treasury department. Mr. Hopkins took exception to the quoting of the letter, and declared that the Colorado senator would be allowed to speak in the slums," whereupon Mr. Teller declined to yield further, declaring Mr. Hopkins' reference to the slums insulting. The incident occurred in connection with the discussion of the postmaster under discussion during the half of the session, and was passed, all amendments offered by the democrats being voted down. The bill provining a form of government for the Panama canal zone was taken up, but debate did not begin when the senato adjourned. House.-The house spent the day in considering the Alaska bill. the majorly and minority reports of the McCain investigation were brought up and after reading were ordered printed, which the Alaskan bill was resumed. Washington, April 13.—Senate.—The senate today began discussion of the bill providing for the government of the Panama canal zone. The greater part of the day was occupied by members offered by himself. None of them was accepted and the reading of the bill was nearly half completed. Mr. Morgan attacked the new Panama Canal company and contended that the United States should provide for the construction of the treaty with Panama regardless of the demands of that company. House.—Under a special rule the house today devoted itself to the consideration of a bill amending the law relating to the Philippine islands. The provision in the bill in reference to the granting of broad franchises and the financing of the cash capital actually invested in such railroads was opposed by Mr. Jones of Virginia, who alleged that British and Belgian capitalists were ready to build the roads without such guarantee. Messrs. Cooper of Wisconsin and Belgian capitalists passage of the bill, declared that it properly safe-guarded the interest of the Filipinos.
