D. president of Lincoln institute, Missouri state school for colored youths, will deliver a lecture at Plymouth Congregational church, corner of Eighth and Pleasant streets, Tuesday August 30, at 8 p. m. Subject, "The Spirit of Modern Education. Benj. F. Allen was born in the city of Savannah, Ga., and is one of the few men who have risen above surrounding prejudices, vanities and adversities and is esteemed from what he is independently of the accidents of births and crime. All people who come in touch with him delight to do him honor, and regard him a leader in all which pertains to the development of the youth, intrusted to him in the Institution over which he presides. We can view President Allen's character in a strong and beautiful light. There is a balance of powers, a well sustained earnestness, and even enthusiasm of action while his heart beats with the loftiest impulse of virtue and strong manhood. He has ever shunned the adulation of clique and clan, finding pleasure in comparably purer in helping up the weak. President Allen received a liberal education in the public schools of Savannah, Ga., where it was seen that his mind gave early indications of its powers. He completed the course and was entered at the Atlanta University, Atlanta, Ga., where under a course of excellent training and Christian discipline he zealously pursued his studies into graduation from the college of arts with first honors. In the Latin and Greek classics he became especially Below we publish a report of E. H. Faulkner, proprietor of The Afro-American News Office, 3104 State street, Chicago, where the BYSTANDER can be found every Saturday. It simply shows what push and energy will do. We wish you continued success Mr. Faulkner. Following is his statement: I have been in the Negro newspaper business for a number of years and I have found a great deal of work in it. Sometimes ago I concluded that I would do something for the advancement of the race and to help solve the so-called race problem I began this business with a very small sum of money and if I had not labored every day and night in every season of the year, I would have failed. I started with six different papers from one to six of each every week. I would sometimes sell all and again I wouldn't. To-day I carry in stock twenty-five different papers, from the various parts of the United States and I have calls for them all nearly every week. I wish to say to those who think that the Afro-American newspapers do not sell, Subscribe for Bystander. --- A GOOD RECORD. let me call your attention to the following: From the first of August, 1903 to the first of August, 1904, I sold 7562 Afro-American weekly newspapers; 1068 Afro American monthly magazines. This is my report for the past year only. From the present outlook my prospects for the coming year will, no doubt, surpass all other reports. MARSHALLTOWN NEWS Mrs. Geo.

His high character and excellent scholarship, and executive ability in the few years of active life as professor, and president of Lincoln Institution, Jefferson City, Mo., has won for him the degree of A.M., Ph.D., L. L. D. Few men as young have spent a time as faithful earnest, honest and fruitful and merited such honors. President Allen's lecture will be under the auspices of the Union Congregational church of this city; and in presenting such a representative of the race, we trust that his life and character, and what he shall say to us may help forward the sociological, mental and industrial problems, and help no particular race of people, but all mankind.

Give us your order HONORED ABROAD AND HONORED AT HOME Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the most gifted Woman of Our Race, Who was the only Colored Delegate to the International Congress of Women, which met in Berlin, Germany. THE WOMAN MRS. MARY CHURCH TERRELL. If Mrs. Mary Church Terrill had any doubt as to the high esteem in which she is held by the citizensof Washington, that doubt was removed last Wednesday evening, at the reception tendered her at the Metropolitan A. M. E. church. When it was learned that she would soon return to the city fro her trip abroad as delegate to the International Congress of Women, which met recently, in Berlin, Gerber, a movement was started by 100 of the citizens of the District, to tender her citizenship public reception, to show in a public way their high and warm appreciation of the great honor she had done herself and the race while abroad. The associated press and the magazines and newspapers have already told the story of her triumph abroad, and it is only left to the citizens of her home city to acknowledge the same in a public way. Metropolitan A. M. E. church, which has the largest seating capacity of any church in the District of Columbia, was comfortably filled with representative men and women of the city come out to hear the story of her triumph, and her return home welcome. The church was beautifully decorated, an orchestra was secured and a most interesting program was rendered. Master of ceremonies, Dr. J. R. Wilder; invocation, Rev. Sterling N. Brown; introductory remarks, Dr. J. R. Wilder; addresses of welcome, Hon. John C. Daney, and Miss Maria L. L Jordan; Response, Mrs. Mary Church Scott; music for the occasion was furnished by the Inviteble orchesta Mrs. Terrell's Address. Mrs. Terrell was then escorted to the front of the rostrum, by Dr. J. R. Wilder, but it was a few minutes before she could speak so thunderous and enthusiastic was the applause given her. Her response beggars description. It was only such a speech as Mary Church Terrell could deliver and for twenty minutes she charmed the audience with a pen picture of her trip abroad. She spoke without notes and had perfect command of herself. The Washington Post, speaking of her address, said: "Mary Terrell said that it was only because she felt that she represented not only the Afro-American women, but the entire race that she decided in the face of advice to the contrary to attempt to address that great body of intelligent to address that great body of intelligent and progressive women in German, and again in French. "Mrs. Terrell is a Washingtonian by adoption and for several years was a member of the board of education. She's a graduate of Oberlin college, holding two degrees. A. B., and A. M., and has had the added advantage of thorough study in Paris, Berlin and Florence. "She was touched last night by the heariness of the reception tendered her. "When she stepped forward she was warmly greeted, and it was several moments before (he) could proceed. She began by giving credit to her parents for adopting her and her husband for enabling her to use her talents in behalf of the women of her race. "Coming to the incidents of the convention in Berlin, she paid high tribute to the Germans, stating that she doubted that the women of any other nation in the world could arrange a meeting which would surpass that held in Berlin. She was the only representative of the African race at the Congress, and she declared that the courtesy accorded her was equal to that extended to any other delegate DR. A. G.

She was entertained at the home of one of the prominent families of Berlin. Her hostess gave her not a room, but a suite, with a maid to attend to her wants. She spoke of the courtesy of the Count von Buelow, Ambassador Charlemagne Tower, Princess Maria Rohan, and other notables. She praised particularly the Countess of Warwick, who was to have access to the progress, but was unable to attend. She seated left behind seat and went to London to receive Mrs. Terrell on her return from Berlin. Mrs. Terrell spoke at several places in London before sailing for the United States. "She said that there was absolutely no prejudice against the colored people in France or Germany. In England, she said, there was a slight antipathy to the dark races, but no obstacles were thrown in the way of those who had high attainments. She declared that Europeans could not understand the prejudice and the oppression to which the colored race is subjected in America. She declared that they marvelled at the rapid progress made since freed from slavery. She said that she could up her mind to devote the remainder of her life to enlightening the people across the ocean on the progress of the Negro race. 'No people need ever despair,' she said, 'when their women are willing and active in trying to uplift the race.'"—Colored American.

Decomposed Body of an Unknown Man is Discovered at Perry, Iowa. Perry, Aug. 22.—With his skull crushed in, apparently by a terrible blow from some blunt instrument, the badly decomposed body of an unknown man was found lying near the Milwaukee tracks in this city Saturday evening. There were no marks for identification on the body, and thus far there is no clue to the name of the unfortunate. The body was found near the crossing of the Milwaukee and Rock Island tracks concealed in some long grass under a clump of willows, where it had apparently been dragged after the murder. About twenty-five feet away, were the man's hat and $2.65 shirt, and were two images of a struggle. It is supposed that the unknown has been dead since about August 2. Two weeks ago last Tuesday night, several shots were heard from the neighborhood where the body was found, and some are disposed to connect this circumstance with the tragedy, although the body did not bear the marks of bullet wounds. The injuries were entirely about the head. The right side of the skull is crushed in the temple and check bones are crushed and the right side of the skull is cracked. The blow which caused death was evidently delivered with crushing force. The man then found it is evident that it was dragged by the heels, probably from the point where the hat and money were found to the place where it was concealed. The body is that of a man between 25 and 28 years of age, 5 feet, 8 inches tall, and weighing 145 pounds. The hair was dark and the skin was good condition and the man wore No. 7 shoes. There are no marks upon the body which would aid in its identification, and there was nothing in the pockets which would furnish any clue. In the lining of the hat was a fragment of a copy of the Des Moines News dated October 1, 1984. The condition of the body rendered it an impossibility and it was buried. A coroner's jury consisting of J. N. Partner, A. M. Harvey and T. H. White will endeavor to arrive at some explanation of the tragedy. The ghastly discovery was made by the family of A. J. Caves of this city which had been away for the past week or ten days. The body was by an offensive color. Saturday evening they started to mow down the long grass and the body was seen by Mrs. Caves, who at once notified the coroner. Shareholders Must Stand Full Liability. Washington, Aug. 26.—The first report of the recoverer of the First National bank of Grinnell, Ia., was filed with the comptroller of the currency yesterday.

CHARGES OF MURDER. Man Found By Rock Island Tracks At Perry, Hit With Club. Perry, Arg. 25.—The coroner's jury composed of J. M. Partner, T. H. White, and A. M. Atk. the bailiff has been investigating the cause leading to the death of the young man found along the Rock Island right of way reached a verdict late afternoon. It was that an unknown man came to his death by being struck by a blunt instrument in the hands of a party to the jury unknown. At least a dozen witnesses were examined, but none of them could throw any light upon the case as to who he man was, when or how he had been killed. The generally accepted theory is that he was a member of the Burns family, but not someone somewhat suspicious in Perry. Members of this gong were on August 9, so it is reported, and got in trouble among themselves at a booze joint. Some farmers and others who were in the joint at the time testified before the coroner's jury and asked the judge to have a knife brought into use and a gun fashed. The nature of the quarrel was such as to lead those who were lookers-on to believe that the trouble would be settled lauer in dead earnest. On that same night persons living in the vicinity of the Rock Island Fire Department testified to hearing men quarrelling and that a gun was discharged.

This news was received here with the greatest joy. There has been no serious sighting in this region, but there has been a small skirmish at Ausshanshan where Japanese troops attacked a Russian outpost and were driven off with a gas of six killed. The military inactivity is credited here to the fact that the Japanese are concentrating all their attention on Port Arthur, Washington, Aug. 24.—Consul General, at Shanghai, yesterday saddened the state department that the Chinese total of Shanghai, through the British consul, has ordered that the repairs to the Russian cruiser Admiral Grosovol be stopped. The order was made through the British consul because of the fact that the repairs were being made by the British Deck company.

She was towed back in the barron. The Coo, Aug. 24—A junk which left Lieto on the night of August 21 has just arrived here. She reports that the Japanese have succeeded in occupying Anteshen fort, as well as another fort, probably Etsesan, about a mile southwest of Anteshen, and has been attacked by the parade grounds (which lie about two miles north of the harbor); they have destroyed two forts at Chaokan, which is within the eastern fortifications, and they have advanced to a point near Chaokanko. This news confirms information received here previously and which the local Japanese were not inclined to believe. The junk heard calling, "Sorry, a building in Port Arthur remains undamaged. The town hall, which was used as a magazine, has been destroyed. Four large warships, unable to fight, are at Port Arthur. Only one ship, a vessel with two masts and two funnels, has guns on board.

The crowd was divided into three squads, one taking their prisoners to Barnard Creek, about three miles from here, where they were told to leave the district and not return, the other two squads taking their prisoners toward Canon Creek, where they were treated in a like manner. The greatest excitement prevails in the region and the citizens declare that none of the deportees will be allowed to return. The immediate cause of the outburst was starting up of the union store under the name of the InterMountain Merchantile company, and the report that a number of deported union men were on their way back to Cripple Creek from Denver.

THE FIGHTING AT PORT ARTHUR. Liao Yang, Aug. 24. The following is supplied by a Russian correspondent of the Associated Press: "With each additional report from Port Arthur wonder increases both at the persistence of the Japanese attack and the heroic subbornness of the defenders of the fortress. The Japanese are literally throwing away all their courage and the one courage of shaking one courage of the Russian troops. "Major General Fock says he is confident that the fortress cannot be taken but that if it is taken the whole Japanese army will have to immolate itself on the slopes of the fortification. "There were five desperate assaults on Green Hill July 26, the Japanese returning each time with apparently inexhaustible reinforcements. On the final assault, however, the Japanese broke badly, throwing away their weapons and booting their fight, and leaving several thousand dead c. wounded. "Our surgeons worked heroically, impartially aiding Japanese and Russians. The Japanese were so touchful and well-furished that thanked the Russian surgeons." "The Japanese losses since the siege have been have 28,000 men The explosion of one mine wiped out 500. This was an awful sight.

Dr. Edward Waldo Emerson, of old Ocid, is fond of telling of an old want whose heart was excused kind, and in whom' the kind pity, and compassion were developed nearly to perfection. He was driving his master and Emerson through the country. As they proached a new house that the master was building, they saw an old woman sneaking away with a bundle of worms "Jabex, Jabex," cried the master. "You see, the old woman taking "Jabex" Jabex looked with pity at a old woman, then with scorn at a master, "No, sir," he said, "I don't see her; and, what's more, didn't think that you would see her." Judge Jonathan Dixon, of the supreme court of New Jersey, has a habit, well known to old practitioners, before him, of asking three questions of counsel arguing at the bar. The first one is usually simple, and the lawyer answers carelessly; the second one is more complex, and the respondent replies with tremulous certainty; the third is bound to be poser fraught with humiliation. On one occasion Richard V. Lindabury, Newark, was presenting a case to the court of errors, and when the first question was innocently proposed, the second question was known" cried the judge: "why you know?" "Because I haven't heard the other two questions," said the wily advocate.

CONSUMPTION THE BRITISH LION SHAKES HIS MAIN England Intervenes to Protect Neutral Shipship. FAIR WARNING TO RUSSIA Two Cruisers to Locate Aggressive Volunteer Fleet — Prime Minister Balfour Announces That Action is Taken at Request of Russia London, Aug. 26.—Prime Minister Balfour announced last evening that the British government and ordered two cruisers from the squadrons at the Cape of Good Hope, withidely, to locate the Russian volunteer fleet steamers Smolensk and St. Petersburg and to convey to them the orders of the Russian government that they must not for the intercept with neutral shipping. The prosecution that this action was taken at the request of the Russian government. This extraordinary statement was made when the premier, by appointment, received a deputation of the London chamber of commerce. The deputation was appointed at meeting of the China and East India section of the chamber, which was attended representative ship owners and ships interested in trade in the far east and at which a resolution was passed asking the government to protect British shipping against search by Russian warships. As receiving the deputation, M. Balfour during the day had seen busily engaged in connection with the question which had been raised in regard to Russian treatment of Italian shipping. After giving a number of private interviews the prior held an important meeting at the reign office, to which representatives of the intelligence department of the parliament had responded to the former office and the box of trade were summoned. The premier afterwards received a deputation from the chamber of commerce, which was headed by William Keswick, M. P., who stated the objection of the deputation had in view an presented the resolution and a letter on the same subject, to statements made by members of the deputation and that replied. He said the questions must be considered separately and in the light of different conditions. In the first place, special difficulties had arisen between Great Britain and Russia, owing to the captured made by the volunteer fleet steamers, which had passed the Dardanelles in the character of a battle, other than as all were aware. This led to an acute controversy, and the Russian government gave assurances, without making a statement on the question of the principle involved that vessels of this fleet would not make further captures, then when the Smolensk stopped another British vessel, the Comedian, a prominent impression was created by the officer who requested inquiries as to how this could be reconciled with former assurances. "Most assuredly," said the premier, "should the volunteer fleet steamers attempt further captures, which I do not think they will, no such captures will be recognized by us or by the Russian government."

Tokio, Aug. 26—Five steamers and three torpedo five boat destroyers emerged from Port Arthur Wednesday morning and began the work of clearing away floating mines. At 6:20 on the evening a two-funneled boat destroyer mined two mines in the port promontory and sank immediately. Five minutes later a second destroyer with four funnels ran against another floating mine which exploded. This second vessel was at once surrounded in stan ships and into Port Arthur and then floated accompanying him. These occurrences were seen from various Japanese watch towers. The Japanese cruiser Hidalgo also witnessed the explosions. The crew of the Russians in town to clean the channel of mines indicates the intercept of the fleet again to sally into Port Arthur.

There was once a passage at arms between Elizabeth Cady Stanton, the eminent woman suffragett, and Horace Greeley, on the occasion of a discourse by the former on the right of women in the fight for the rights of her talk, Greeley interposed, in his high-pitched, falsetto voice: "What would you do in time of war if you had the suffrage?" This seemed like a poser; but the lady had been before the public too long to be disconcerted by an unexpected question, and she had been so disconcerted have done, Mr. Greeley—stay at home and urge others to go and fight." Jay Hambridge, the artist, spent last summer in a sleepy New England village where the older inhabitants are opposed to anything modern. There was a meeting of the hose company one night, and one of the men there was a sum of money left in the treasury. He suggested that a chandler be bought with it. But at this juncture one of "the old inhabitants slowly arose and cleared his throat. "I'll vote dead again any such a fool plan to squander money." he announced, "in one of them darn things when it's likely there isn't any one in the hull company that knows how to play it?" AS EASY Needs Only a Little Thinking. The food of childhood often decides whether one is to grow up well nourished and healthy or weak and sickly from improper food. It's just as easy to be one as the doctor provided we get a proper start. A wise physician like the Denver doctor provides food to the patient, complish wonders provided the patient is willing to help and will eat only proper food. Speaking of this case the Mother said her little four year old boy was suffering from a peculiar derangement of the stomach, liver and kidneys and his feet became so swollen he couldn't take a step. "We called a Doctor who said at once we must be very careful and not improper food was the only cause of his sickness. Sugar especially, he forbid. "So the Dr. made up a diet and the principal food he prescribed was Grape-Nuts and the boy, who was very fond of sweet things took the Grape-Nuts readily without adding any food of sweet things that the sweet in Grape-Nuts is not at all like cane or beet sugar but is the natural sweet of the grains." "We saw big improvement inside a few days and now Grape-Nuts are almost his only food and he is once more a healthy, happy, rosy-cheeked youngster with every prospect to be a strong healthy man." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. The sweet of Grape-Nuts is the Nature-sweet known as Post Sugar, not digested in the River like ordinary sugar, but pre-digested. Feed the youngsters a handful of Grape-Nuts when they demand sweet and punts them to call for sugar. "There a reason." Get the little book "The Road" to Wellville" in each pik. NOTES FROM THE CAPITAL The Western Union Telegraph company has served notice on state Auditor B. F. Carroll to restrain him from certifying either at present on the assessment from Burlington across the state of Iowa, to Council Bluffs, or from certifying any assessments which may be made in the future. The suit is the result of an old trouble in which the Western Union has figured more accurately the authority for the purpose of keeping the auditor from making the certificate. The state board of health has about decided to undertake a campaign against the pollution of the streams and rivers of Iowa. At the recent meeting of the board, the subject of the resolution introduced covering some of the intitulatory reforms for which the board is inclined to enlist its energies to begin with. This resolution was considered and referred to the civil engineer of the board. Colleagues requested that he take it under consideration and report back to the board at its earliest meeting, with a recommendation as to what action on the part of the board along the line of the resolution he may regard as feasible, practicable and advisable. Citizens of Valley Junction are indigent over the circulation of a report that the Rock Island is going to move its shops from that place, in giving permission to the state to be no foundation of truth for any carry the Valley Junction Express says: "The facts in the matter are simply these: The Rock island management is in an extremely unsettled condition and two factions among the stock holders have been engaged in a bitter end for years. It is not for your sake. This internal fight has become so bitter that at least one faction and possibly both will be willing to wreck the road to triumph over their opponents. The Cable people will be less willing to do this than the Moore-Seeds interests, but the latter is to the bitter end, and a receivership is not an unloved for event. "The management are not devoting time nor attention to enchanges in any departments excepting a general policy of 'retrenchment. In unaltered of the management, the people are desirous of investigating the books, which right is denied them by the other fellows who have them in hand. The charge is handled about in Chicago but Moores have taken responsibility for the $200,000 in revenues and resources of the road and thrown it upon the 'rocks.' Retrenchment comes as a natural consequence both of this condition of the management and the further condition upon the road both in freight and passenger departments." Auditor Carroll gave out a few days ago the report of John M. Emery, inspector for the Iowa insurance department, of the condition of the Northwestern National Life Insurance company of Minnesota, which abducted the life insurance company of Des Moines last August. Mr. Emery says he finds the company solvent, but that he feels "ciled upon to say that the future welfare of the company demands radical reforms, especially in the matter of the readjustment of its policy construction of its expenses of management." Mr. Emery finds that the company has a surplus of approximately $100,000, as against over $666,000 as given in the company's own statement of its condition. Mr. Emery makes this difference because of the fact that the company when the company did not. These items are savings fund liability, equation and liability, premiums paid in advance, liability of former officers' contracts, due Blair & Reynolds for reinsurance, salaries, rents, etc. Mr. Emery's report coincides at practice with the report of the Board of Philadelphia, who was hired to make a very thorough examination of the company, and who is one of the best known actuaries of the country. Mr. Wolf's report is understood to have been filed in Minnesota. It was because of the delay in filing the report of the company policy holders were becoming uneasy and asking a receiver for the company, as Wolf was hifed by the company to make the examination. Delegates of the people's party gathered at the Iowa hotel and selected the following ticket: Secretary—John C. Ferris, Hampton. Auditor—Richard A. Feist, Iowa Falls. Treasurer—N. J.

The trust succeeded in forcing prices down, making them lower than they have been in years. This year the producers of the crude dark leaf are using the soil for other products. Therefore it is fair to suppose that the crop will be short this year. C. M. Davis of Carroll county, Miss., a colored planter, has been in St. Louis for several days, making a special study of the department os horticulture at the World's Fair. He is the owner of a fruit and truck farm of 280 acres, which he devotes largely to the cultivation of strawberries. The Masons of Kansas City have set the craft throughout the country an excellent example in enterprise and far-sightedness. They have purchased a $10,000 building for a temple and they are expending $1,500 in alterations and improvements. Prof. R. Cole has been the prime mover in this important work, and to him unqualified praise is due for the accomplishment of this long cherished and commendable plan. In addition to this valuable temple, the fraternity owns a $4,000 lot in a most desirable locality.—American Advocate. Hon. W. H. Parham, for many years connected with the colored schools of Cincinnati, O., is dead, after a months siege of paralysis. He served one term as a member of the Ohio legislature, and was one of the wealthiest Negroes in the state. He succeeded Prof. Peter H. Clark, of St. Louis at the head of the Cincinnati schools. In detailing the success of a prominent colored business firm of Pine Bluff, Ark., the Daily Commercial, the leading white newspaper of that place says under the caption "Splendid Success of Colored Contractors." Below is a statement in detail of the work contracted for and completed from June 1, 1903, to June 1, 1904, by Windham Bros. Work for Messrs. Bram & Co., Wilmot, Ark., $4,000; for Ashley County Oil and Gin Co., $6,600 located at Wilmot, Ark., Catholic church, Pine Bluff, Ark., $8,500; other small jobs in Pine Bluff, $1,500; residence for G.

Parker, $5,500; residence and tenant house for R. M. Filori, Logtown, La., $3,500. This makes a grand total of $90,500 for the year ending June 1, 1904. Professor L. C. Anderson, expresident Prarie View College, Texas, has been made supervisor of the colored schools of Austin with a largely increased salary. This honor is enjoyed nowhere else in the South by a Negro educator. We congratulate him.—The Freeman. A bill introduced by representative Rogers, of McIntosh, the only Negro in the Georgia legislature, appropriating $5,000 for the state industrial college for Negro youths at Savannah, Ga., was passed recently by the house of representatives by a unanimous vote. Benedict College, a colored institution in Columbia, S. C., will have within a few months a library building for which plans have been drawn and which will cost $5,000, the money having been donated by Andrew Carnegie. NEW FOOT BALL. RULES PUBLISHED.

SIGHTS AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. It is indeed a very great pleasure to make a trip to St. Louis and visit the great World's Fair, but indeed a very different thing to make a written report that might interest the masses would necessitate an inspecting detail report of some of the large buildings and their contents would necessitate a series of several articles that I cannot now do but I shall endeavor to acquaint you with some of the most striking and interesting buildings to be seen. It will be only a synopsis. Upon our arrival there, Friday, Aug. 12th, the first stop the great Wabash train of ten coaches, loaded down with people, made, was at their World's Fair station, which was built upon the ground, and was the feet of the main entrance. Then your eyes behold the large, beautiful buildings comprising the great World's Fair, or Louisiana Purchase Exposition. The great towers on the buildings, with many statues and other monuments of beauty, at once appealed to the crowd, and spiring. About six miles from this depot the train carried us to the Union station, the largest in America. From there to cur St. Louis domicile we were taken, only one and a half blocks from depot. The next morning we arrived at the landed point of our door, which in 45 minutes landed us at the State gate entrance. The first building on the inside was the Inside Inn, the only hotel on the inside. It will accommodate about 5,000 guests. The next you come to is a plateau of state buildings, of which grand old Iowa was a very nice building, and she commands perhaps the most beautiful location. There we made our headquarters. The managers of the Iowa building made us feel really at home. We knew the most of them. Our lunch basket, grips and other items were there, and good ice water, all free water. Freeman Conaway, the secretary, is a nice man to meet. Mr. C. A. Perry, a Des Moines man, ex-constable, is an employee. Mr. Henry Gross, a brother to Harry, of the Des Moines city treasurer, Mr. Crane and Mr. Morris, of the Des Moines city, our city. Then Mr. Paline of Mr. Paline, Mrs. Mrs. of St. Louis are some of those that you will surely meet on entering the Iowa building. Of course, Iowa is not the prettiest building. Th. Missouri state building leads them all—rightly she should. In some New York and ePennsylvania, Kentucky, Iowa, Illinois, Ohio, etc. This Louisiana Purchase Exposition is the largest and most universal exposition ever given by mankind and perhaps the largest ever will be given in the future. It will be given enormous expense, money and labor and as yet it is not paying and may be a failure from a financial point. To prove my above statement that this exposition will be given, will briefly comment this on World's Fairs. The other Columbian Exposition at Chicago covered 634 acres of ground, 80 acres of main exhibit floor space; the Paris Exposition at Paris covered 300 acres of floor exhibits; the Pan American at Buffalo covered 300 acres with 15 acres floor exhibits; the Centennial at Philadelphia, 236; the Mississippi at Omaha covered 150 acres, with 92 acres floor exhibits; while the Louisiana Purchase Exposition at St. Louis covers 1,240 acres, and has 128 acres of exhibit floor space, with 500 buildings. Nearby has a building, and nearly all the foreign countries has a pavilion. For one to get a better idea of the enormous cost of this fair, I will say it presents an outlay of nearly $50,000,000, of which 49 states and territories raised about $7,000,000 alone. The large buildings covering 14 and 15 acres will see that a single building in St. Louis covers more space than the entire Pan-American Exposition at Bualo. Some of the large buildings are the palace of transportation, covering 15 acres of ground, containing four miles of railway track. The government building, covering 14 acres of ground. It is one of the most instructive and interesting to visit. There one can see the development of our army, navy our public schools, inventive genius and mail or postal system. The mines and metallurgy building is very fine and the fine arts building, too. SIOUX CITY ITEMS The time is drawing near for the annual conference, and ministers from all parts of the field will come together to exchange a welcome and a hearty hand shake. The pastor of the A. M. E. church was to助句塘 Y. S. D. Saturday to assist at the funeral of the late Mrs. Lettle Hurd, which was held there Sunday. Rev. James Washington supplied the pulpit in his absence. Allow me to correct an article which appeared in the issue of the Bystanders magazine of Miss Susie Shippen to Mr. Henry Aaron. They were married by the justice of the peace, instead of the pastor of the A. M. E. church. The message came to Mrs. Charlotte Lee Thorn, from Yankton, S. D. She aged mother to Mrs. Lettle Hurd, mother to She for a place immediately and arrived just in time to be at the bedside when she took her departure. The ladies of the Mt.

She is highly pleased with Dakota. He has opened up a restaurant on Pearl street. It is the only colored one in town, and he is an old hand in the business. To him he is to try him for first-class meals, the future crown him with success. HEROINES OF JERICHO. St. Lcuis, Aug. 3, 1904. The Heroines of Jericho, of the United States met in St. Paul. A.M.

From a small beginning we have grown until our factories now cover many acres. Many of our machines sold forty to fifty years ago are still giving their users faithful service. Can anything be more conducive to our success and durability? Did you ever hear of any other machine with such a record? Note a few of the many superior points of the Wheeler & Wilson Sewing Machine No.9 The Rotary Hook displaces the old, out-of-date, unmechanical and troublesome shuttle. The Frictionless ball bearings and perfect mechanical construction enable it to be the third less exertion than is required by the vital machines.
