It was a great gathering of a noble band of true christians men and women The Negro and how to better his conditions intellectually and spiritually was a popular subject in nearly every paper read.

The coming together of the Congregational council in our city, which closed its session last evening, was the greatest religious event in the history of our city. It was great because it stands for religious education; great because it believes in the brotherhood of man, because of the fatherhood of God. Great because there was not a jar or a friction during its whole session; thy had but one object in view, and that was how best to carry the light to humanity. The work of the session as well as the addresses and sermons of many of the leading ministers was elevating and instructive. While the citizens of Des Moines know more of the great work that this denomination is doing, they have been drawn closer to them. The American Missionary Society, an auxiliary of the church, has done and are doing much in the way of educating our people. They spend more than $100,000 annually in this direction and the delivery of what we want that we ordained of what a Christian education will do for a people. They were all educated Christian gentlemen. We believe we speak the sentiment of the better thinking people when we say they stand for all that Christian manhood embraces. CALLANAN MASS MEMORIAL MEETING. The colored citizens, with visiting ministers from the south and some of our local pastors, met last Wednesday evening at the Central Christian church to express their gratitude as a race to the memory of James Callan, the goat philanthropist and bene-factor—for no man in our state as yet has ever bequeathed so much money to colored institutions as he—over $125,000 to colored institutions, as we gave a list of them last week. Talladega college, in Alabama (and not Tuskegee, as some papers published)) received the largest amount, $100,000. At this meeting held last Wednesday evening Rev. Holloway of Thomasville, Ga., a graduate from Talladega, and delegate to the national council, presided. Addresses were delivered James W. Cooper, (white) of New York city, secretary of the A. M. A., Dr. James W. Cooper, member of the New York city section of the A. M. A., Dr. Forest, the late president of Talladega; Rev. Ims of Mobile, Ala.; Mrs. Booker T. Washington; and Rev. H. W. Porter of this city, also a graduate of Talladega, who perhaps aided Mr. Callanan in deciding his mind as to which of the colored colleges most needed help, as he had an hour's talk with him just before his death. He told of the kind of work and grade of work, also the needs of each of these institutions. Therefore, we are inclined to believe, as Dr. Frisbie suggests, it might have assisted Mr. Callanan greatly in making up his mind. The resolutions were introduced by The resolutions were introduced by Prof. W. E. B. DuBois of Atlantic. After referring to the gift, the resolution concludes: "We are especially grateful that for the first time in years a great gift has been bestowed on an institution representing particularly and emphatically the higher education of the negro. We appreciate deeply the great necessity of the common school and the technical school, and for that reason we maintain all the more the need of gro colleges as the great foundation stone upon which the great work of teaching children must rest. Unto memory of this our brother, who has so nobly helped us, we bring our heartfelt tribute, and pray God that our race may be worthy of the confidence thus expressed in it." A motion by J. L. Thompson that the resolution be adopted and a copy sent to the executors and the newspapers was seconded by Rev. Garner and carried. The meeting then adjourned. W. G. Fitz Geald, writing on "The Woman Missionary Abroad," in the November Delineator, draws a graphic picture of the dangers and hard-hips that beset those who carry the Gospel to remote regions of the earth. "Grievous disillusionment awaits the enthusiastic American woman in the mission field," he says. "There are, indeed, troubles and trials of every kind, ranging from destructive enemies, beaky houses and housemates, leopardies that carry off the school children, up to tribal and slave-seeking raids, tornadoes, plague and disasters, some of them as mysterious as they are dreadful, such as the sleeping sickness of the Congo." But these words can convey no such idea of the hardships of the missionary's life of the thrilling episodes that are relatable to us, which prove, indeed, the heroism and self-sacrifice of the men and women who are engaged in evangelizing the countless millions of heathen. ROBINSON & DISHMAN FIRST CLASS SERVICE The only Union Equal Rights Barber Shop in the City..... Southeast corr. Fourth and Walnut M. J. H. H. HON. JOHN T. MULVANEY. Mr. Mulvany is a promising young lawyer of our city, who was born in Polk county, on a farm, and educated in our own city. He was admitted to the bar and is one of the strong lawyers. STANDS FOR HUMAN LIBERTY: "If I could be absolutely assured of my election as president by turning my back on the principles of human liberty as enunciated by Abraham Lincoln, I would be incapable of doing it and unit for president if I could be capable of doing it. I do not expect to be elected president by those who would close the door of hope against the Afro-American as a citizen. If I am elected to this high office it must be on my record as the executor of the law without favors or discriminations."—President Roosevelt. The above statement clearly defines a material issue in this campaign. The flag, the country and its constitution are in jeopardy. Some republicans and some democrats are for equality before the law, and its enforcement in all parts of this land, and some of each are opposed. It is urged by orators and press that men be sent to congress who will support the law. Shall the congress man be one who is pledged, no matter to what political party he may belong, to support the laws, or who is opposed? Truth, justice and honesty are the monopoly of no one individual or party. In the years gone by men who have stood in the front of battle waging war on all who were opposed to justice and freedom, have been silenced or driven out of the republican party. I cite three instances out of hundreds, Charles Summer died out side of the republican fold. His dying words were: "Do not let my civil rights bill fail." Have you any doubt about Charles Summer? George W Julian introduced the fifteenth amendment to our federal constitution. He became opposed to the new republican party but remained a firm believer in the constitution and the flag. The reconstitution of states was signed by a representative who had not voted a republican ticket up to the time of his first election, and was known previously as a democrat. Even in our own state we live under a civil rights law signed by a democratic governor. Are my brothers afraid of a democrat? The conditions in this congressional district are unique, and I desire to call your attention to some of the conditions. There is one candidate for FT. MADISON NOTES. Prof. J. Wells of Quincy, the phrenologist and chiropodist, lectured at the Second Baptist church Monday evening. Presiding Elder G. W. Gaines preached an excellent sermon at the A. M. E. church Tuesday evening. Prof. and Mrs. J. Wells departed Tuesday afternoon for Purinton. The members and friends of the A. M. E. church gave a donation party for their pastor and wife Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Bell. They brought we filled baskets with them and the pastor in a few words expressed their gratitude and thanks for the kindness of the friends and members. The entertainment at the Second Baptist church Saturday evening was a success financially. At the home of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Harper, 225 Fifth Street, Tuesday, October 18, occurred the marriage of Mr. Wilbert W. Fields of eKokuk and Miss Emily C. Ball of Chicago, at 10 a.m. The ceremony was simple but impressive, and was witnessed by only a few invited friends. The bride is known as the "Queen of the Charming young woman." The groom is a letter carrier in Keokuk, and is one of Keokuk's most highly respected young men and hosts of friends. It was the purpose of the contracting parties, in coming to Fort Madison, to make the event a surprise to their friends. Messrs. F. D. Fields and A. J. Fields, and Mr. and Mrs. B. L. Anderson, brothers and sisters to the groom, witnessed the ceremoney. The wedding party left for Keokuk at 12:36 p. m., where a wedding dinner was served at the home of the groom. The infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Dunlan is very ill at their home. congress in the Seventh district, and I speak with authority, who is pledged to vote and work for the enforcement of the war amendments to the constitution in particular. His word is his bond, so well he is known and esteemed in this county, the county of his birth. He has shown his courage and desire for fair play and justice when no political star was hidden beneath the clouds. When John Walker was charged with murder in this city; when no white lawyer would defend him; when there seemed no hope for a fair and impartial trial, this young man left pressing business and volunteered to defend John Walker, a negro, without reward or the hope of reward. The lawyer said he was a public man and the republican press of the state said it seemed "easier to convict a negro than a white man." The supreme court was appealed to and remanded the case back for retrial. So in this young man are blended the elements of manhood and fair play. The young man who is here referred to is Mr. John Mulvaney, candidate for congress in the Seventh congressional district. Here is an opportunity to ably assist the president in his declaration above quoted and to repudiate the methods by which this county has held its primary elections. Our primaries have been a nation-wide disgrace, and an endorsement of the candidate so nominated is sanctioning the debauchery of the primary system. We cannot justly call for a law in this respect until we have repudiated the author of it at the polls. John Mulvaney stands for a free ballot, a fair count, protection of life and property and equality before the law. The present congressman has made no such pledge, and his record is opposed to many of the things heretofore mentioned. When American citizens have been slandered in the halls of congress or murdered in some of the states and disfairly treated in others, the Congress will neither hand nor give in opposition. The Congressional Record will confirm all of these statements. Common sense will dictate how to cast the ballot on Nov. 8. I am firmly convinced that it is the duty of all who stand for law to vote for John Mulvaney. He stands for something in politics or international aggrandement and despotism. Will you sustain Roosevelt in this fight for law and order? There has been a choir organized at the A. M. E. church, and it is doing nicely. The members are Anna Harper, organist; Mesdames J. H. Bell, G. Henderson and Miss E. Messier; sopranos; the Bassfield and Basfield, Goodwin, alos; Messrs. Robert Goodwin and Floyd Robertson, tenors; Mr. Edward Prentice, bass.

"Something doing." Trent's back again. Last Friday was a gala day at the Drew home on Fourteenth street, it being Mr. A. Drew's thirteenth birthday. A large number of his friends congratulated at his home and made things live. He was presented with a handsome silk umbrella, and other presents too numerous to mention. An elegant four-course luncheon was served Mrs. A. Kinney, assisted by her sister Mrs. A. Kinney, and Mrs. S. E. Edwards. The party dispersed late hour, all wishing that Drew would see as many care birthdays. Mrs. Matilda Johnson has returned from St. Louis, where she was a World's Fair visitor. One of the pristifit, daintiest surprise parties of the season was that which Mrs. Lonora Smith, assisted by her two daughters, Miss Dora and Mrs. E. Graham, gave Monday evening in honor of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Smith of Kansas City, Mo. About thirty young people gathered at the Charles S. Ruff Price, Five Cents. Smith home to pay their farewell respects to the guests of honor. Games, whist, dancing and an amateur minstrel company furnished the amusements for the evening. The fun ended in the wee hours of the morning. All were tired, but we had some time. Mrs. Sam E. Cook departed Friday for St. Louis. Mrs. Cook and Stewart of Keokuk visited the former's sister, Mrs. I. Cook, at her home on Elmer street German day. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Smith returned to their home in Kansas City, after a visit with Mr. Smith's mother, at her home on Valley street. WORKS LIKE MAGIC.

The author of the article, "St. Paul vs. Des Moines," which appeared in the last issue of the Bystander, certainly does not understand the caution in the first place. The institution house in the first place he made a mistake in the colored churches—there are five instead of four. And against, he is mistaken when he says Des Moines is ahead of St. Paul in enterprise. We would like to ask him what has Des Moines got that St. Paul cannot produce? There are numerous colored people in St. Paul that hold as responsible positions as you will find in Des Moines or any other place. If necessary we could perhaps the writer in the perth has written in St. Paul long enough to know just what is there and should not say that which he cannot prove. Having lived in St. Paul for about sixteen years, I am in a position to know that his statements are not all true. DR. A. G.

It was known that they had immense hoards of gold, but feared to tempt cupidity by taking it all with them. What they did with the bulk of their savings has just been revealed by Pierre Gulire, who says that treasure to the value of over £4,000,000 was buried beneath the old cathedral in the little town of Typozottan, and is believed to be there yet.

The late Senator Juay, whose secretiiveness made his comings and goings seem very mysterious to newspapermen, arrived at Philadelphia from Washington very early one mousing. A reporter, who knew him intimately, signalled significance attached to your visit here today? "Yes," said the senator, lowering his voice and looking shrewd, "there is deep significance and importance." The reporter's interest was aroused at once.

Growing a business nowadays is something like growing an apple tree. You may select good seed, plant it in good soil, water and work with it, but the tree will not produce fruit until another and most powerful, energizing and life-giving element is brought to bear. You must have sunshine and lots of it. Can you expect to ripen seeds in the dark? Can you expect to grow a profitable business plant nowadays without the sunshine of public favor produced by advertising? This Postum plant is a good illustration of that law. It seems but short time ago when we were married, the marriage house of the barn you have seen today, where we began making Postum coffee. The seed then planted, less than 9 years ago, was a new kind of apple seed and it was not altogether certain how the people would like the apples. We did our work thoroughly and plenty of it. We knew we had a good Pure Food Factories that Mr. apple tree of fine quality but how to develop our work and turn the apple tree into a productive and profitable tree was another question. It needed sunshine and the kind of sunshine that is spread by the newspapers and magazines. It is an absorptive necessity that without the publicity thus given—in other words, the sunshine—the business never would have developed. You have seen to-day factory buildings—thirteen or fourteen in number—covering many acres of ground, employing hundreds of workpeople, producing food and drink in an aggregate of four million packages per month, which goes to every civilized country on the globe, and yet the entire enterprise is less than 9 years old. We have found it necessary, inasmuch as the tree has grown and the apples matured by hard work and sunshine, to continue the work and the sunshine day in and day out, to maintain the appropriation month out, the tree approximately a million years a year for advertising, for experience teaches that if you mature the tree under strong sunshine, and bring it up to a thrift and healthy state where it produces profitable apples, you can not withdraw that sunshine else the tree will gradually die.

Clyde Fitch tells a new story of Whistler. The artist was in Paris at the time of the coronation of King Edward, and at a reception one evening, a duchess said to him: "I believe you know King Edward, Mr. Whistler." "No, maslame," replied the duchess; "I was, odd," she murmured; "I met the king at a dinner-party last year, and he said that he knew you." "Oh," said the painter, "that was just his brag." Susan B. Anthony, on her 'return from Europe talked in an engaging way about the things she had seen over there. Of a certain slum she said: "The children in this slum are dirty, very dirty.

I was told for one thing that out on the street and others goes out on the street and washers half a dozen children's faces before she is able to find her own child." Justice Leonard A. Giegerich, of the New York supreme court, tells a story of two lawyers who appeared before him some time ago in the argument of a motion. One was an exotic fellow named J. Paul, a great deal, and the other was of the calm, judicial order, with the usual attendant of biting caracas. "I object to the statements of my learned friend," said the exotic one; 'they should not go on the record. They are entirely frivolous.' "I beg the courts to pay me," replied J. Paul, but I believe that my learned opponent meant to say that my remarks were 'trivial.' Could Get No Rest. Freeborn, Minn., October 17 (Special) - Mr. R. E. Goward, a well-known man here is rejoicing in the relief from suffering he has obtained through using Dodd's Kidney . . . his Experience is well worth repeating as it should point the road to health to many another in a similar condition. He had an aggrigating case of Kidney Trouble," says Mr. Goward, "that gave me no rest day or night but using a few boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills put new life in me and I feel like a new man. "I am happy to state I have received great and wonderful benefit from Dodd's Kidney Pills. I would heartily recommend all sufferers from Kidney Trouble to give Dodd's Kidney Pills a fair trial as I have every reason to believe it would never be regretted."

Some thoughtful men might say that if what you manufacture has merit, once you get a trade established people you will continue to purchase, even if the advertising is stopped, but to act on that conclusion would be a fatal mistake, for there are always bright men on the lookout to steal your apples, and if you give them the chance they will come in and take the fruit, sure. Right here let us drive a nail, or a shingle nail but a forty penny slice. Your article must have merit, far and away beyond the ordinary unsettled thing. It should be the very best that human intelligence and ingenuity can produce. Then you have a piece of metal that won't slip out from under when the building grows heavy. There are persons ignorant enough to believe that a poor article can be advertised into a success. It cannot and any one who tries the experiment will pay heavily for his experience. Critically examine any well known and advertised article that has been years on the market and make Postum and Grape-Nuts. It will be found to possess exceptional merit. In ancient days newspaper publishers considered an advertisement an evil but a necessary evil, and that it should be hidden away as carefully as possible, so that no one would discover that the paper was trying to make a little money by inserting public announcements. A paper run that way to day would fail. The most successful exponents of the new plan of doing business with ink and paper are using every possible means to make the announcements attractive and sought after by the readers. It is safe to say that thousands of women read the newspaper—not the telegraphic page, but the pages containing announcements of bargains in stockings, skirts, hats, gloves, planos, furniture, food for the table, etc. You have been invited to visit Bathe the Creek for the purpose of viewing one of the most unique advertising opportunities over a large business built up, sustained, nourished and kept active by sunshine, and, at the same time, have an opportunity to see one of the most thrifty, active and prosperous towns of its size in the world, built up largely by the same kind of sunshine.

SMITH IS BEHIND BARS REMARKABLE CAREER ENDED Passes From Mayor's Chair to the Felon's Cell — Former Prominent Citizen of Davenport Confesses to a Shortage of $120,000 in Funds. Davenport, Oct. 19. —The passing of S. F. Smith from the mayor's chair which he occupied in this city a few years ago, to the open doors of the Anamosa penitentiary, which will close upon him tomorrow, is the rathetic termination of a remarkable career. Ex-Mayor Smith was sentenced yesterday to eleven years in the penitentiary for peculiations in trust funds in which he had left a share of $10,000 to support his role of a wealthy citizen, and a leader in church, business and social circles before the inevitable disclosure came It had been one of Mr. Smith's vintages that he was a son of Rev. Samuel Francis Smith, author of "M. Country, Tis of Thee." He had prized himself on his ancestry, and was one of the leading members of the Sons of the Country. He accumulated quite a fortune in a railroad bond deal, in which he and Judge James Grant, of Davenport, his law partner secured from the supreme court a decision upholding the validity of large blocks of railroad bonds voted by the state. Rock Island road across the siate, Mr. Smith had become a large holder of these bonds and the decision made him wealthy. Since then he has confined his business to the handling of large estates. He lived in munificent style in one of the finest homes in the country and those entrusted to his care. For twenty-five years no resident of Davenport possessed a greater degree of the confidence of the people of Davenport than S. F. Smith. He was liberal in giving to the church and charities, president of the city mission, and officially connected with many benevolent movements. He was elected mayor of Davenport for two years, was principal owner of the Davenport mall, and was a prominent part in the politics of this section of the state. NO VOTING MACHINES Polk County Vote Will Not Get Them This Year Des Mothes, Oct. 18.—Electors in Des Moines and Polk County will not vote by machinery this fall. This was announced yesterday by County Auditor Fred Cope, who is in the midst of preparations for the November election. The cause, he explains, is the failure on the part of the Universal Voting Machine company to deliver the goods as contracted. By the terms of the contract entered into between the board of supervisors and the voting machine company the goods are contracted. The number 10. It is said that there are several machines in the city, but Auditor Cope says no formal delivery has been made to him and he understands it will be utterly impossible for the company to deliver the required number in time for the election November 8. This may invalidate the contract, but it is believed the board of supervisors will grant an extension of time to the company and have the manager. The company it is said, has done everything in its power to furnish the local authorities with a machine which would stand every test of practicability and law requirements. In the effort to do this the company failed to obtain the necessary membership. Members of the board do not claim to be dissatisfied with their bargain, and it is expected at their next meeting something will be done to make valid the contract under which the machine was made. Hundreds of people will be disappointed as it has been widely announced that the machines would be used, and all were eager for the experiment. However, the time has come when definite arrangements for the election of the board would be needed to wait in uncertainty no longer. He determined to send out the old Australian ballot books as in previous years. Accordingly no new instructions will be given to the people. It was the same old way of voting the ballot and the count will be made as usual. FOUL. MURDER IS DONE. Charles Middaugh Killed by Finn Whitney at Clarinda. Clarinda, Oct. 17.--Yesterday morning at one o'clock Charles Middaugh, a young farmer living near Clarinda, was killed by Finn Whitney, a young farmer living near Clarinda, of this city. The trouble started on the public square but they were separated by companions and persuaded to go outside the city limits to settle the difficulty. They left once in a carriage, with them, and it is claimed that while the two men were being searched for concealed weapons, Middaugh, who was the first searched, struck at Whitney. After both had exchanged about five blows, Middaugh staggered back and throwing up his hands said he was killed and fell, and a doctor could reach him was dead. Whitney had not been searched, and fighting with a small pen knife, stabbed Middaugh five times, the last time completely severing the jugular vein, causing instant death, or less under the influence of illum. Mildaugh's father is one of Page county's wealthiest farmers. He leaves a wife and two children. He was six feet, one-half inch tall. Whitney is single and measures five feet, three inches. He is in fall here. He Played With Bonfire.

Supreme Court Finds Way In Which They Can Be, Take Des Moline, Oct. 21.—Wages of a married man are not always exempt from execution. The supreme court of Iowa rendered a decision yesterday morning in what the way is pointed towards with such judgments against the employer of a married wage earner may be sustained. The opinion was rendered in the case of Dowling & Allgood against Wilber Wood. Wood was an employee of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway. He owed Dowling & Allgood 42 and, when they threatened to take him, he is alleged to have readily consented and to have actually expressed a desire that such procedure be resorted to. When the garnishment proceedings had actually been begun, however, he fought them to a finish. He went into court and pleaded in defense, the well established principle of the law, that he was ninety days back, are exempt from execution. He denied having abetted the bringing of the action against the railroad and raised the point that even if he had agreed to the garnishment of his wages, he had not the right to waive the exemption that the law gives, unless his wife joins with him to make the exemption for the purpose of protecting the wife and children. The supreme court holds that the latter contention is in the nature of an attempt to place a waiver of the exemption privilege on the same foot as the consent to meet. In Wood's case they state that they are convinced that he actually agreed to the bringing of the garnishment suit and that if he did, he would be liable to pay and has no right to come into court and alluce it as a defense. It is suggested that the possible motive for such agreement on his part is to be found in the fact that he had seen that the wages were being held lack. POOR WIDOW LOST SUIT. Will Not Share in Dividends to De- positors Sigurior, Oct. 13—One of the most hotly contested cases that has been tried in this court for some time came to a close yesterday morning. The case was that of Mrs. Sarah Lemon va. The Receivers of the Sigurior Wayne Bank to recover her share of the dividends due to her deal to the bank of that institution few weeks before that bank passed into the hands of the receivers Mrs. Lemon, who resides in Chicago, sent Mr. Utterback, the cashier, $1,400 to be invested in farm loans, Mr. Utterback, instead of sending her a certificate of trust, for private receipt. In a short time the bank failed and Mr. Utterback committed suicide. The condition of the bank was such that the stockholders lost nearly all of the amount of their capital stock. Mrs. Lemon brought action on the grounds that she had received the dividends that have been declared to this date, which are 80 per cent of the amount of the deposits. The receivers contended that the money personally and not with the bank and that she would have to look to his estate. The verdict was rendered for the receivers and Mrs. Lemon has no chance to recover. The estate has other liabilities, it is said, that will render her claim of no value. She is unable to recover the loss falls heavily upon her. She was a cousin to Mr. Utterback. DURGLAR CRACKS SAFE. General Store At Princeton Broken Into And Over $500 Taken. Princeton, Oct. 20—The general store of L. L, Reed & Son, was entered by burglaries early yesterday morning and the blown open with nitrogen crackers secured about $500 in cash. The robbery occurred at about 3 o'clock a.m. The burglar or burglaries gained entrance through a rear door. The lock was not broken and it is believed that the thief had a key to the door. The big safe was drilled and nitrogyrene poured into the hole. The safe door was broken off by the force of the explosion and the thief dumped the contents of the safe in a bag. Although it taken is not known, it will exceed $500. Several residents believe they know who committed the robbery. A suspicious character who was hanging about today has disappeared. His suspicious character was the Davenport and Clinton police. He is six feet tall, weigles about 200 pounds, wore a dark suit and black Fedora hat and has a dark moustache. His clothes were dirty and it is doubt he is a railroad man or blacksmith. TAKE 2,000 CHICKENS.

A NEW DOCTRINE IS ESTABLISHED OFFICERS' RIGHTS LIMITED They Must Not Shoot Misdemeanant Escaping Arrest—This Unusual Ruling is New in Iowa and Establishes a New and Novel Precedent. Des Moines, Oct. 19.—It is better that a misdemeanant escape than that the power to arrest be asserted to the extent of killing one whose of fonse subjects him to only a trifling fine or confinement for a few days in jail. So days the supreme court of Iowa. It is a new doctrine. For the first time in the history of the state the highest judicial tribunal has passed on the question of whether an officer may exert force to the extent of taking human life in effecting an arrest for misdemeanor or in preventing an escape or rescue from such arrest. And the strict of the court is against taking human life for so trivial a cause. The Iowa court says: "It is a well approved maxim that the law has a tender regard for human life, and as a general rule a person assaulted without provocation can not carry his right of self defense to the extent of using a deadly weapon upon such situations are such that to his apprehension as a reasonable man, such extreme measures are necessary to save himself from death or very great bodily harm. "In our judgment something of the causes can or human life should be reasoned for the officer making an arrest, and that it is better that a misdemeanant escape than that the power of arrest be asserted to the extent of killing one whose offense subjects him to only a trifling fine or continement for a few days in jail, to retreat before a display of violence or deprive him of the common right of self defense, but simply denies him the right to use a deadly weapon or take human life in enforcing an arrest for a misdemeanor even though with such force the wrong door may escape. "The arguments based on the paramount necessity of upholding the law and promptly suppressing all tendencies to violence and disorder are not without weight and plausibility but the disadvantages likely to arise from denying to peace officers the right to summon an arrest for misdemeanor are not more apparent than is the danger to be apprehended from clothing every officer with a power of such extreme and despotic character. "Not does this permit the man who is strong enough to successfully resist arrest or to effect an escape set a premium on lawlessness. Such resistance can, at best, have but temporary success. The entire power of the city and county is at the officers' command, if such assistance be necessary. And a case can hardly be imagined where the wrongdoer may not readily be brought into custody without bloodshed, and be made to answer the original misdemeanor, but for his unlawful resistance of arrest as well." Therefore, in view of this new doctrine, Thomas Smith of Monroe county must "do time" for manslaughter. He killed Kid Kaler server when Server attempted to effect the rescue of S. D. Smith, who was a peace officer, having arrested S. D. Server on a charge of being drunk and disorderly. His defense was the right of a peace officer to enforce arrest and to defend against attempt at rescue and escape. Under the new rule of the supreme court, he was right to shoot in defense of these formerly recognized rights, and his conviction of manslaughter stands.

At this time there is nothing so valuable as Grape-Nuts, for the reason that this food is all nourishment and is also all digestible nourishment. A woman who used it says: "Some time ago I was very ill with typhoid fever, so ill everyone thought I would die, even myself. It left me so weak I could not properly digest food of any kind and I also had much bowel trouble which left me a weak, helpless wreck. "I needed nourishment as badly as anyone could, but none of the toilets helped me until I finally tried Grape Nuts for morning and evening. This not only allowed food that I thought delicious as soldier food but it also made me perfectly well and strong again so I can do all my homework, well, can eat any nothing without any trace of bowel trouble and for that reason alone Grape-Nuts food is worth its weight in gold." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. Typhoid fever, like some other diseases, attacks the bowels and frequently sets up bleeding and makes them for months incapable of digesting the starches and therefore pre-digested Grape-Nuts is invaluable for the well-known reason that in Grape-Nuts all the starches have been transformed into fufu grains. This means that the first stage of digestion is the mechanically accomplished in Grape-Nuts food at the factories and therefore anyone, no matter how weak the stomach, can handle it and grow strong, for all the nourishment is still there.

Directly kehind him, at a distance of nine mites, Hes the Hun river, and across the bridges stanning. this stream the Russians must retire In ease they retreat on Mukden.

Two weeks after I began with them I experienced relief and after I had taken six boxes I was en- Uirely well. ‘To make sure I continued to use them about two weeks longer and then stopped altegether. For sev: eral years I have had no reason to use them for myself, but I nave ree: ommended them to others as an cx: cellent remedy.” Dr, Williams’ Pink Pills furnish the blood with all the clements that are needed to build up healthy tissue, strong anuscles and nerves, eapabie of deacles Che strain that nature puts upon them, They really make new blood and cure all diseases arising from disorders of the blood or nerves, such as sciatica, neuralgia, partial paralysis, locomotor ataxia, St. Vitus’ dance, nervous prostration, anemia and all ferns of weakness in either male or female.
