My dear colored readers and voters, to you I write this article. I care not what your local or state affiliations may be, but, fellow voters, we are facing the most important election since the Rebellion. Upon its results hinges the future success or destruction of the remainder of our rights and manhood. The success of the democratic national ticket means the undoing or taking away, so far as they can, all that the civil war granted us. Silently, adroitly and rapidly (amit say) are our rights as an American citizen. From us, and gross discrimination is being heaped upon us in nearly every state that democrats have under control. My very blood boils when I think that there is a single colored man this year who will vote to turn over the reins of this government to such renegade, fire-eating, negro-hating maligners as Tillman, Vardaman, Graves and Hefflin. They are simple anarchists. Colored boys, cheer up; the bugle has sounded rally around a box Tuesday, and vote for Roosevelt, who has uttered these words: "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 unfit for president if I could be capable of doing it. I do not expect to be elected 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 discrimination." RALLY AROUND THE FLAG Republican success next Tuesday means much to our nation our race sud our country. Our nation will grow, our race will be given more justice and an equal chance in life, and our country will develop and expand to still greater heights. Remember that the Republican party has made our country, nation and race what it is today. All laws for the protection of our markets and manufacturers and prosperity of America has been done through the Republican party. Remember too that every law passed for the benefit and equal opportunity of the colored race has been done by the Republican party, and all legislation against the Negro to disfranchise and keep him down has been passed by the Democratic party against the protest of Republicans. Therefore rally around the flag boys. UNSWEARVING LOYALTY. On next Tuesday or four days from now the voters will be called on to express their choice for President of the United states. There are five general parties and candidates—Roosevelt, Parker, Debs, Watson, and Swallow. This year, as in all other national campaigns, the colored voter has been sought after, and this year is no exception to the rule. Various methods has been unsuccessful attempted; even a colored man's ticket, headed by colored candidates for President was attempted to draw votes from the party heretofore receiving that part of the votes, but all of no avail. The colored voters are right in line where they have been in this campaign and should be for the Republican party and its candidate. Our unswerving loyalty will be found true on election day. We are too intelligent and grateful to our tried friends to leave or forsake them. The colored boys will rally around the Rough Rider as the 10th Cavalry did in the battle of San Juan, and as the black boys saved his life then we will on next Tuesday, the Ides of November save his political life and crown him President of these United States. A COLORED STUDENT IS HONORED. Iowa City, Iowa.—(Special.)—There is no race feeling in the juior class of the Iowa City High school, if one may judge by the attion which has been taken by the by the class in electing a Negro student secretary.

It is probable that the action taken by his class is without paralleled, even in communities where race feeling is supposed to be reduced to the minimum. A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY One of the shocking and horrible crimes committed was performed last Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock. N. Matthews rushed into the home of Rolland Diggs and shot Mr. Diggs through the lungs, then shot Mrs. Diggs twice, who was in a delicate condition with childbirth. He next shot J. C. Travis, who was killed a short time later. He shot at his wife, Mrs. Matthews, who was boarding there since they had separated. Then Matthews ran away, making his escape. As yet he has not been caught. The cause was Matthews insanely jealous over his wife and they had separated, she going to the Diggs home to board, as Mrs. Diggs was boarding a few. Travis, who was killed, was a boarder there. It is stated that Diggs had been in the house any more. At this report Mr. and Mrs. Diggs are not expected to live, and the murderer, Mathews, is not caught yet. PRESIDENT THEOD PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. The above is a likeness of our beloved and noble president, who asks and so richly deserves your vote on next Tuesday. The Roosevelt is that true type of young American and an exemplification of what a real man can do. He is a man of country at heart. He is owned by no man, combination or corporation.

He is a successful business man, has been in the coal business for the past 20 years, and his honesty, good judgment and courteous treatment has won him many friends in this city and county. He was elected alderman from the Fifth ward three terms, and his record was so good that the citizens of the East Side, irrespective of party lines, elected him as a member of the county board three years ago, and now he seeks his second term, and his friends are working hard for him. Any support he may receive will be gladly received by Mr. Bennett. Political Snap Shots Parker is silent on lynching; Roosevelt has denounced the mob. Afro-Americans: Vote for Roosevelt.

Remember that and fight for Roosevelt and Fairbanks until the polls close November 8. Democrats are complaining about the high price of coal.

Will some one show us a Negro who is going to vote against the Republican party next Tuesday? With the color line entered into the state campaign in Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky and Georgia, with the Democrats fighting the rise and progress of the colored people in these states we cannot see how any sensenble race respecting colored man could vote the Democrat ticket this year. We are indeed sorry to see that the Wisconsin Advocate is still supporting the irregular Republican ticket when the State Supreme Court, the highest tribunal of justice known to our land, has decided in favor of Governor Le Follett and his ticket, Why not accept your defeat honorably like a man, and jump into the Le Follett band wagon and help swell that noble Roman majority on election day Bro.

STOMACH ON FIRE ONLY A SKELETON CROUCHING BY A STOVE. Mrs. Doherty has an Extraordinary Experience and Undergoes a Marvelous Change. Mrs. E. Doherty, of No. 115 Coates street, Moberly, Mo., is today a picture of robust health, and yet five years ago, she barely escaped death from progressive emaciation. To a reporter she told the following story: "In 1896 I began to have distressing attacks of indigestion that continued for two years. My stomach was constantly sore and burned as if it was on fire. It became finally so delicate that it would not retain even plain water. My inability to take food reduced my weight to nine-sight pounds, and fainness and dizziness kept me in bed most of the time. I was really starving to death and besides I was extremely nervous. The doctor was perplexed. He gave me tonics which did me no goo', and prescribed exercise which I was too weak to attempt. These pills cure stomach trouble by their tonic action, building up the digestive organs and enabling them to do the work that nature intended them to do. They are sold by all dealers, or will be sent postpaid on receipt of price, fifty cents a box or six boxes for two dollars and a half by addressing Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Schenectady, N. Y.

Dr. Wiley's "poison squad" is to re-sume its experiments, but it will not tamper with wood alcohol. It seems that no matter how many attempts are made to revive hoop skirts, the ladies sit down on them. A Chicago woman says her husband is right in style, as he has a dark brown taste in his mouth every morning. A New South Wales woman has a scheme for curing consumption with hot air. But hasn't this been tried ineffectively before? All the married women are getting their lives insured. Will the husbands continue to warn them about drafts and damp feet? There is sound sense in that decision to keep on remarrying divorce people. Business in that line is getting bigger every year. It is simply wonderful how much some American railway officials can forget about their business when they get on the witness stand. The whole state of Connecticut should rise as one man and run down the miscreant who is trying to destroy its armor plate namesake. Cornell students are being expelled for hazing. Evidently the authorities at Cornell have decided that it is about time to take hazing seriously. A fashion paper says that the Fall gowns will contain thirty yards of material. We can readily understand why some men are driven to divorce. About the best thing that can be said for war, as the discussion now in progress indicates, is that sometimes it is a bad way getting good results. The doctors say free lunches serve to spread diseases. There are people who will insist that anyone who would tackle free lunch deserves to catch diseases. A Chicago milkman has sued a stock company for the value of certain shares in which he invested $200. Presumably there was too much water in the stock. Automobiling may cause the legs of its devotees to waste away and become useless, but it tends to cultivate strength and activity in the legs of ordinary pedestrians. A Chicago girl has been awarded $40,000 damages against a street car company after nine years of litigation. The question now is, How long will it take her to collect it? Whether man descended from the monkeys or from the gods is not nearly so important as the question of his present conduct and the promptness with which he pays his bills. An esteemed contemporary says there is a "marked conflict of views as to the remarriage of innocent parties to divorcees." What is an "innocent party to a divorce?" If Jupiter has any inhabitants they must have been more or less interested lately in observing the transit of an insignificant planet, known here as the earth, across the sun's disk.

"Jack Root predicts that Jim Jeffries will be champion until his teeth fall out," says the San Francisco Bulletin. And a chap will face him some day ere long with a punch that will make 'em fall out. To a man like the sculptor St. Gaudens the loss by fire of his studio, with its irreplaceable treasures, emphasizes with peculiar pathos the significance of the truth that "Life is short and art is long." Ten million pills were taken into a New York police court as evidence the other day. Now let the mathematicians get busy and tell the world how high the pills would have reached if they had been piled one on top of another. Mr. Alfred Austin, England's poet laureate, can see little good in the present generation. He says that manners and literature alike have declined. The poets, too, are deteriorating. Perhaps there is one exception, just one. Lord Milner may, as soon as he gets through in South Africa, be sent out as viceroy of India. Such Englishmen as William Waldorf Astor must wonder how a man can stand it to keep always doing time so far away from the tight little island. According to the latest quarterly statement of the pension bureau, the mortality among the veterans of the civil war is now one hundred a day. It is a startling way of putting a plain and entirely natural statistical fact. But it is none the less pathetic. --- DEATH FROM RUSSIAN SHOTS THE AWARD IS CONSERVATIVE Made So at Request of British Government—All Fishermen Examined Deny Presence of Foreign Torpedo Boats—Details of Assault. Hull, Eng, Nov, 3.—"That George Henry Smith and William Leggett were at about 12:30 a. m., on October 22, while out fishing with trawls aboard the British steam trawler Crane, with board of trade marks exhibited and regulation lights burning, killed by shots fired without warning or provocation from certain Russian war vessels at a distance of about a quarter of a mile." This is the text of the jury's verdict at the coroner's inquest on the fishermen victims of the North sea tragedy. At the request of the British government, represented by the earl of Dysart, solicitor of the treasury, this conservative award was rendered by the first court of inquiry preceding the sessions of the international tribunal. The government asked the jury not to find a verdict of wilful murder or manslaughter because "dilegative negotiations are going on which should not be made more difficult; and they ought not to let anyone think they had prejudged the case before having heard both sides." In consequence the jury simply set forth the facts proved by the evidence of physicians, experts on explosives and the trawlers themselves. To the verdict the judge added the following rider: "On this occasion, probably the most momentous in the annals of the British empire, the jury would record their appreciation of the efforts made by the governments interested to arrive at a satisfactory conclusion of the matter, which we feel has no parallel in the history of the world." St. George's hall, a large auditorium which had been specially fitted up for the occasion, was quite inadequate to accommodate the crowd that wished to listen to the evidence. The interest was intense and there was some excitement, but no demonstration occasion, a great number of people gathered in the vicinity of the building to await the verdict, and the space inside the hall was filled. The British government, the game Cook fleet, the owners of the Game Cook fleet and the relatives of the deceased, and the wounded fishermen were represented by counsel; but the Russian government did not participate. The proceedings occurred only about three hours. The testimony consisted of medical evidence by which it was proved that the death of Smith and Leggett was the result of shell and machine gun wounds; then an expert identified fragments of shells by private marks, which he said were un doubtfully Russian, and the stories of captains and mates of the trawlers were told. These latter related that while they were engaged in their regular work the ships of the Baltic fleet in two squadrons emerged suddenly on the haze and, throwing the glare of their searchlights on the Game Cock fleet, were warning and disregarding flares, open lights, the fisherman's signal, and, though within actual speaking distance, on vessel, commenced a cannonade, which the fishermen, at first not realizing the danger, enjoyed, thinking it was a sham fight. The firing lasted half an hour. To each of these witnesses was put the vital question regarding the presence of a foreign vessel or torpedo boat. Each with equal positiveness lenied that at any time preceding or during the firing was any Japanese, British or any foreign vessel seen by them or the accompanying fishing feet. It was also stated that there were no Japanese among the crews and that none of the trawlers carried arms of any description. One of the skippers, replying to a question by the coroner, said that during 'the five weeks he was in the North sea he had not seen any warships until that night. This closed the evidence. Counsel for the treasury then made the suggestion with regard to the nature of the verdict, with which the coroner agreed, and without delay it was so returned, with an added expression of sympathy for the relatives and friends of the dead and injured and of appreciation of the "calm and courageous manner in which the fishing fleet remained at its details after the terrible experience." ROBBERS ARE SUBROUNDED Wyoming Outlaws Have Been Located in Desolate Region. Cody, Wyo., Nov. 4.—The different bands of men hunting the parties who killed the cashier of the First National bank here have the robbers practically surrounded in the foothills of the Owl creek mountains, fifty miles from here and their death or capture is certain. The bank has reported that a large force of their friends are coming to their assistance from the Hole in the Wall country and a number of men have left here to reinforce the pursuers. Buffalo Bill with Indian scouts and cowboys have taken the trail and a lively time may be anticipated. Colonel Cody and his force are heavily armed. The bank are determined to get the robbers. The bank will cut all the telephone wires leading through the basin and it is almost impossible to get further facts. Air Ship Makes a Flight. St. Louis, Nov. 1.—After circling in every direction at a height of 2,000 feet above the cascades, in sight of thousands of cheering, enthusiastic spectators on the world's fair grounds, A. Roy Knabenshue of Toledo, Ohio, in command of the Baldwin airship, yesterday returned to the place from whence he started over the same course that he had come, covering the three miles and a half of the round trip under his own power and demonstrating the claims of the inventor, Captain Thomas S. Baldwin of San Francisco, that "the California Arrow" is not only dirigible, but that it can make headway against a moderate breeze. STORIETTES A Chicago automobile on a rampage skipped the sidewalk, and took a header into a basement cobbler-shop, turning a few somersaults, and finally stopping, sputtering, with its wheels revolving in the air. The old cobbler was found jammed into a corner of the shop, unhurt, but dazed. "What did you think it was?" his rescuers asked. "I tough," he gasped. "dot it was a customer vat vas mad about hees shoes!" A London lady who tried to climb over a stile the first day of her country vacation, certainly thought she had left London a couple of hundred miles away; but she rather wished, all the same, that the country was not so densely populated, and she turned an appealing look upon the rustic gaffer who insisted on watching her climb. A broad grin spread over his countenance as he caught her meaning. "Lor, bless ye, mum, don't be shy before me!" he adjured her; "I was a bus conductor for fifteen years!" The house in Portland, Me. where Longfellow was born, is now a tenement in the poorer part of the city, mostly inhabited by Irish. A few years ago a teacher in Portland was giving a lesson on the life of the poet. At the end of the hour, she began to question her class. "Where was Longfellow born?" she asked. A boy his name was vigorous. When the teacher called on his answer did not seem to astonish the rest of the class, but it was a cold shock to her. "In Patsy Magee's bedroom," he said. An irrasible old colonel, who used to play golf at Sandwich, which is on the river Stour, had a habit, common with many, or blaming everybody but himself for his bad strokes. Finally one day, becoming badly bunkered, he first took mighty vengeance on the turf with his club; then, glaring around in expectation of the usually amusing events, and nobody saying anything, whether the devil can you expect a man to play decent golf on these cursed links with shins passing up and down the ennail? Cured Her Rheumatism Deep Valley, Pa., Get. 31. (Special.) There is deep interest in Green county over the cure of the little daughter of L. N. Whalpky of Rheumatism. She was a great sufferer for five or six years and nothing seemed to do her any good till she told Dodd's Kidney Pills. She began to improve almost at once and now she is cured and can run and play as other children do. Mr. Whalpky says: "I am indeed thankful for what Dodd's Kidney Pills have done for my daughter; they saved her from being a cripple perhaps for life." Dodd's Kidney Pills have proved that Rheumatism is one of the results of discased Kidneys. Rheumatism is caused by Uric Acid in the blood. If the Kidneys are right there can be no Uric Acid in the blood and consequently no Rheumatism. Dodd's Kidney Pills make the Kidneys right. Mother—"What! Fighting again! Such a black eye!

Nearly all animals are afraid of fire and will flee from it in terror. To others there is a fascination about the flame, and they will walk into it, even though tortured by the heat. A horse in a burning stable goes mad with fear, but a dog is as cool in a fire at any time.

Captain Volger, of the Koeniger nuise, said, the other day: "An architect was complaining because an architects' club had been organized in his town on total abstinence principally in the mind of it," he said, "a club where you can't get anything to drink." The person addressed looked thoughtful, "With such a club," he said, "I suppose the remedy would be to go there drunk." BY PROXY. What the Baby Needed. I suffered from nervousness and headache until one day about a year ago it suddenly occurred to me what a great coffee drinker I was and I thought may be this might have something to do with my trouble, so I shifted to tea to awhile but was not better, if anything worse. "At that time I had a baby four months old that we had to feed on a bottle, until an old lady friend to take to Postum Food Coffee. Three months ago I commenced using Postum, leaving off the tea and coffee, and not only have my headaches and nervous troubles entirely disappeared, but since then I have been giving plenty of nurse for my baby, and have a large, healthy child now. "I have no desire to drink anything but Postum and know it has benefited my children, and I hope all who have children will try Postum and ind out for themselves what a really wonderful food drink it is."

POLK PLEADS FOR INTERURBAN WANTS TO CONDEMN LANDS Says Building Will Mark New Era for Iowa Farmers—A. D. Struthers Contests Right of the Road to Condemn Right of Way Through Land Des Moines, Nov. 3—Jefferson J. Polk, the dean of Des Moines capitalists, appeared in Judge Brennan's court yesterday and made a most passionate appeal for the right of way of the interurban railway into Des Moines, in the case wherein A. D. Struthers is seeking to enjoin the company from operating in Des Moines. The aged street railway owner spoke for nearly two hours on the issues of his case. With him were a number of the most prominent lawyers in the city but they all sat in their chairs while the silvery beard of the railway magician sat in the debatable points The suit is one wherein the Inter-urban seeks to cross, with legal right, a tract of land owned by Mr. Struthers. The company has stated that condemnation proceeding; will be brought against the land in due form to the court of the county of the owner to part with the land or to acknowledge the right of the street railway to come by that particular way. The case was begun yesterday. The arguments of the counsel were commenced and at the critical stage Mr. Polk took the floor and held with great attention from .s.7 sides until the close of the afternoon session of the "Here," said he.

There are 750,000 people who are to be benefited by the means of bringing where they can receive the greatest good for their year's labor. It is a matter of the most supreme importance to the farmers of the state. It opens a new era to those who have long been denied the privilege of commercial intercourse with the city of Des Moines and yet there is a man who denies them the right of thus disposing of their products. His address was for the uplifting and education of mankind and his remarks were received with the closest attention. BIG JEWELRY THEFT. Cunningham Store at Council Bluffs Is Robbed Council Bluffs, Nov. 3.—Upon their return from the Doliver meet Tuesday night at 10 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Cunningham, who reside over their jewelry store at 146 West Virginia Avenue, violently, and an investigation revealed a burglary of sufficient stock to amount to probably $1,000. Mr. Cunningham has an attractive window display and was anxious to leave it out as late as possible. He met with the police and meeting and left his stock in the show cases until his return. During their absence someone broke a panel out of the back door and unfastened the bolts, and then looted the stock. The return of Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham was announced by the police of the closing door. A hurried inventory made by Mr. Cunningham places his loss at about $1,000. Among the articles taken were four trays of rings, mostly solid gold. The rings were all branded with a "W" on the inside. The other missing articles include three trays of small jewelry, including brooches, bracelets, etc., and two trays of watches. The watches were all branded with a "W" on the inside. Some were in silver, a few gold and the others in silverine cases. A tray containing about a hundred baby rings was also taken. The police were found soon after the hurried left, but found few clews to aid them. Descriptions of the stolen goods have been sent out. Two years ago Mr. Cunningham's jewelry store in Nebraska was burglarized, and only last week he recovered some of the property taken at KILLS HER HUSBAND. Burlington Farmer Was Enraged By Jealousy. Burlington, Nov.4.—Jacob Groves, a farmer living twelve miles south of Burlington, yesterday instantly killed Thomas Layton, a neighbor, who had been charged Layton with breaking up his home, which he claims was a happy one up to the time that Layton began paying attention to his wife. Groves and when Layton and his wife appeared in a row boat he shot Layton, the latter falling dead in his wife's arms. Mrs. Layton had secured a divorce from Groves and married Layton only months ago. Groves is still at large. Students Set Fire to College. Vinton, Nov. 2.—Shriman Holden, eighteen years old, from Winnebago county, and Fred Stevens, seventeen, from Walker, both students at the college for the blind as an act of revenge for slight discipline received, carried leaves into one of the rooms where the students is taught and after placing them in boxes deliberately set fire to them. This act on their part was committed at about 7 o'clock in the evening and was discovered by other blind scholars in time to have it distinguished before serious damage resulted. Both boys were promptly from the institution for their serious offense. Body Sent to Des Moines Newton, Nov. 2.—The body of the man killed east of Metz has not been identified and has been sent to Des Moines to be held until identified or until the sixty days prescribed by law are up. An inquest was held, but nothing was discovered. The man killed was between fifty and sixty years old. He was hairied with hairs tied in gray and light blue eyes. He was dressed in a black coat and vest, striped pants, a black hat and a new pair of coarse, heavy shoes. FOR STEALING CATTLE. Escapade of Twi Boys Ends Behind Prison Bars. Davenport, Nov. 1.—Harry Woods, a young man until recently residing at Dixon, will be given a penitentiary sentence this week for the theft of eighteen head of cattle. Woods was convicted by a jury and Jesse Follett, a former prison officer, jointly, was acquitted. The robbery is one of the most daring on record and because of this has attracted wide attention here. The cattle belonged to a farmer named Knohes and were at pasture, when they were picked up by night, driven across the country twelve miles and shipped into Chicago. The cattle were billed in the name of Jas. White, a big cattle buyer at Big, Rock, Iowa, the latter's name being forged to the bill of sale. After the cattle had been shipped, Follett and Woods felt their accustomed haunts near Dixon and went to Minnesota, where they both young men were arrested and brought back here for trial. James White, the cattle buyer, was also arrested and held to the grand lury, but no bill was found against him lasmim as he was proved conclusively that he had no part in the theft. He figured as one of the chiefresses in the case. The value of the men in the case was fixed at $400. The case was hard fought, the young men putting up the defense that they believed the cattle to be the property of James White and that they had understood from him that the shipment was regular. The jury was out over twelve hours, finally bringing in a verdict of guilty against Woolds and one of acquittals. The judge, Bollinger will probably pronounce sentence on Woolds this week. BLEW BULLET FROM NOSE Frank Cesgrove, Dubuque, Was Shot in Head Davenport November 4.—After being shot in the head by a 22-caliber bullet, discharged from a gun held by a companion, Peter Faber, Frank Cosgrove, wounded in the neck, slight flesh wound to mark the injury. In company with Faber and a man, Cosgrove took a trip on the Mississippi river to hunt. They had been zone one a few hours when the accident happened. Young Faber was wounded in the neck, slightly discharged and the bullet struck Cosgrove under the left eye. The bullet ploughed in under the eye, into the nasal cavities, and the injured boy then felt something in his nose and throat, and it dropped into the boat. The trip to land was made quickly and Cosgrove was hurried to his home, where a surgeon was summoned. An examination developed the marvelous fact that no bones were broken, beaten, grazed the bone and traveled with it. The most serious loss to the injured boy is his absence from work for a half day. He is of poor parents and his mother and sisters need him. His mother and sisters believe that he had been shot, but he paid little attention to it. The only indication of the bullet's presence was an inch in the nose which caused him to rub, and finally discharge it. He is not at least serious injury, has been a subject of much comment among the medical fraternity. It is one of the most remarkable cases ever reported in Dubuque. THREE KILLED; SEVEN HURT. Freight and Work Train on Rock Island in Collision. Ottumwa, Nov. 2. Two men were killed, one fatally injured and six others slightly injured in a wreck on the Rock Island railroad yesterday between a freight train and work train between Laddsale and Floris, near Eldon. The dead: Zibe H麓er, Mercer, Mo; Zack Jacker, Selma, Iowa. Fashioning Washington, Iowa, splinter through skull. The work train was putting in a bridge east of Laddsale and had orders to back to Laddsale to meet the freight. It is believed that the wreck was caused by the conductor of the freight. The freight was back to Floris, west of Laddsale. Between Laddsale and Floris on a curve the work train met the freight and the working men riding in the caboose were struck by the engine of the freight. The freight was east bound. The work train was west bound, but was backing up. When the collision took place the engineer and fireman of the work train jumped. The engine of the work train then broke loose from the train and started ahead. It ran wild to the yard and the yards erected at Eldon. The engine was running slow when it reached there and was caught. Made Boy Smoke Cigarettes Sloux City, Nov. 1.—The mother of Arthur Livermore, aged 12 years, of Correctionville, has filed with County Attorney Whitney a complaint against him for smoking cigarettes in the schools of Correctionville, for forcing the boy to smoke cigarettes, as a result of which he became deathly sick and was hardly strong enough to breathe. Thomas explains that he caught the boy on the grounds smoking and to break him of the habit and for the influence it might have on the other pupils, he has confined the coffin nails 'n' smoked the school and then smoke more after school. Robbers Confess Crime Des Moines, Nov. 2.—Andrew Sorenson and George Holge, the two crooks arrested by Chief Hardin's men, have confessed that they blew open the safe in the Van Meter postoffice and robbed it of $135 in cash and between twenty-five and thirty gold and silver watches. They have told the United States authorities where they disposed of the watches and bodies with the robbery. E. E. Embody, Jas. Brennan and Charles Gleason, who were first arrested by the local detectives for the robbery, have been released. Child Eats Bat Poison. Clinton, Nov. 2—Frank DeVolt's the two-year-cid son ate rat poison and came near dying as a consequence. The poison acts prematurely some time after the child had taken it. A physician was able to pump out most of the stuff. Woman Murdered Davenport, Nov. 2.—Mrs. Ada Manuel, a poor working woman, was mysteriously murdered in her bed. She was found wettering in her blood with her skull crushed in. She will die. Several suspects are held. Admiral Schley Uses Pe-ru-na Peruna Drug Co., Columbus, Ohio. Gentlemen:—"I can cheerfully state that Mrs. Schley has taken Peruna and I believe with good effect." It was a great naval battle. Without a moment's warning it began. Quick decision, undaunted courage, excellent discipline, resolute self-confidence—the combined in Admiral Sohley to produce that dash and daring so characteristic of the american soldier. A man must think quickly in those days. There is no time for slow action. New enterprises arise in an hour. Days pass in a moment. A multitude of great themes clamor for notice. A man must take sides for or against by intuition, rather than logical deduction.

A GREAT INSTITUTION. It is unusual that a single institution in a state has a single position in importance every other interest, but such is the case with the American School of Kirkville. Mo. A. T. Still in Infirmary at Kirkville Mo. A. stranger in Kirkville is immediately impressed with the idea that the town is a school. The school has Kirkville has been made what it is today by Dr. Still and his famous School and unendowed institution the largest part unendowed institution in the largest United States. Kirkville enrolls over 702 students yearly and each student is required to attend four terms of five months each before completing the course of study. The acre of land is occupied by teaching in every state and territory of the Union. About two-thirds of the states have special laws legalizing the science. This school teaches every branch taught in the science. Its osteopathy is substituted for that. So thorough is the teaching in anatomy that the students are disfigured weekly by the students. At the Infarmin, patients from every part of the country and with almost every movement. For the past fifteen years almost every train coming to Kirksvillah has been led by the science of Osteputhy. By the thousands who have left the institution benefited from the world's a safe rational method of cure. Several years ago a free clinic was established in connection with this and this is still in operation. Hundreds of the worthy poor, who are unable to pay for their treatment, are moved by the senior students free of charge. It is quite possible for a man to nave a harelip without a mustache. Defiance Starch should be in every household, none so good, besides 4 oz. more for 10 cents than any other brand of cold water starch. The things that are not worth long are often the things we do best. Tenth Season of the California Limited. Ten years ago this fall the Santa Fe started its California Limited train on the initial run across the continent. Many improvements have been made in that busy decade. To-day's engines and coaches are much heavier than those of 1894. Millions of dollars have been spent on the track alone—some of it for oil-sprinkled rooftops roasted and oil-burning unseamless) engines. The time is faster, too. Daily service of the California Limited will be resumed Sunday, November 13, for the tenth season, superseding the present semi-weekly schedule. This is now an all-the-year-round train, between Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco, running through Southwest land of enchantment. The time, Chicago to Los Angeles, is about 68 hours, which is fast speed for the 2,265 miles traversed, considering that several mountain ranges are crossed. The aerial navigator doesn't always rise to the occasion. Important to Mothers. Examine carefully every bottle of CASTORIA, a safe and sure remedy for infants and children, and see that it It's the good points of a girl that he helles get stuck on. All Up-to-Date Housekeepers use Defiance Cold Water Starch, because it is better, and 4 oz. more of it for same money. You can whitewash a reputation, put the spots will show through. Except for an in-born many independence, in a country of one speech, these words never would have been uttered by an official.

This is because they have a stock on hand of other brands containing only 13 oz in a package, but they are able to sell first, because Defiance contains 16 oz, for the same money. Do you want 16 oz. instead of 12 oz. for same money? Then buy Deslan Burch. Requires no cooking. There are too many people on a dead center.

Many of our machines sold forty to fifty years ago are still giving their users faithful service. Can anything be more convincing of their merits 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 trouble-some shuttle. The Frictionless ball bearings and perfect mechanical construction enable it to be operated with one-third less exertion than is required by ordinary machines. It sews three yards of goods while a shuttle machine sews two. It makes the most elastic and most perfect stitch whether sewing light or heavy goods. With our superior attachments the greatest variety of work is possible. Do not make the mistake of buying a sewing machine until you have given the Wheeler & Wilson No. 9 a trial.
