Practical subjects are being discussed Sabbath after Sabbath, and the interest manifested by the members and vinters are increasing. The subject for discussion Sunday afternoon is "True Manhood," led by J. L. Thompson. The present age is greatly in demand of men. Can the world say of every one "This is a man." If not who prevents your being a man? What are qualities that make a man? "There is nothing great in the world but man, and there is nothing great in man but mind;" but the greatness of the man and the mind of the man depends upon the relations of the man to God and to himself. To thine own self be true and as the night follow the day thou canst not to another be false." When in Hocking, Ia., stop at Mrs. Mollie Rouse for good rooms, meals and lunches.

W. S. Langerman, Morocco's commissioner to the world's fair, has just bought the Moorish sultan a brace of mules, a number of Angora cats and goats, some fancy dogs and a pacer and a span of fine carriage horses, all of Missouri breeding. The carriages horses were Buff and Blue, well-known ribbon windows and they cost the sultan $2,000. Less Noise on the Fourth. There are many symptoms of a growing desire on the part of adult Americans for a reformed observance of the Fourth. The feeling is quite general that juvenile America has been allowed to exaggerate the explosive features of our great national festival and that something may be well done to celebrate the day in ways that mean more and sound less New York World. EDITORIALS. The Irish World, a catholic journal published in New York, is the oldest journal of the kind published in this country. It is one of the most influential journals in America. For twenty years it has battled for the party that upheld the principles of equal manhood, liberty and protection to the American industries. Patrick Ford is its editor and it goes without saying that it favors Home Rule for Ireland. The BYSTANDER believes that the thinking class of our race believes in the above principles and are in sympathy with your movement. THANKSGIVING. To give thanks for the manifold blessings that we, each individual, receives from day to day should be our daily custom, but by custom the American people have set aside one day in 365 in each year for a day of prayer, praise and worship, for the many blessings that our nation has received from the Supreme Ruler of the universe. This custom of Thanksgiving dates back to the old Genoean discoverer, Christopher Columbus, when he had reached the West Indies or the American shores, he knelt down and kissed mother earth and gave thanks to God for his safe voyage to these mundane shores, then George Washington set aside a day of thanksgiving and rejoicing for the success of his little band of Contentinental army, thus year by year each President with the various governors of the state designates the fourth Thursday in November as our day of thanks. Can we each say and feel as we gather around the heavy laden festival board that I have done a man's duty to man. That I have helped better the human family the past year. Thus I can praise God and give thanks for the persecution of my life and the advancement of humanity. The Union Congregational church was the only colored church that held special Thanksgiving services and held church in the forenoon. The pastor's subject was "The Providence of God in the Nation's History." It was a great sermon, being full of practical thoughts and burning truths. It should have been heard by every Afro-American in Des Moines. The Bystander may be able to publish it in full week after next, in our special holiday number. The church was complimented by all present. The tables were loaded with turkey, chicken, chicken pie, dressing, salads, potatoes, cranberries, pies, cakes, etc., fully a 50-cent dinner for nothing. This free dinner is indeed another great feature of the new church which the public, no doubt, enjoy. In the evening Mrs. J. T. Blagburn, with some lady friends, gave a literary program free, and Rev. Rowlie, the New Zealander, and his family, who took dinner with them, presented a few things about the customs and habits of his country, also sang a song. Rev. Rowe and wife are high education students, and Rev. Rowlie should take advantage of their lecture and hear them. At the Corinthian Baptist church there was dinner served all day, with a program, and in the evening a concert which was largely attended, and Rev. Rowlie made a short address. At the A. M. E. church a concert was given. MT. PLEASANT. The entertainment given at Junes' Hall is the two churches was quite different. Mr. R. H. Hackley preached at the A. M. e. church on Sunday night. About nineteen little girls gathered at the home of Mrs. Rena Logan on Saturday afternoon in honor of the birthday of her daughter Hazal. The afternoon was spent in playing games. Refreshments were served by Mrs. Logan and daughter Miss Erma. The afternoon was greatly enjoyed by all, Miss Hazel received quite a number of useful and beautiful presents. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Spotsts of Chicago and Mr. Arthur Dotch of St. Louis are in the city to spend Thanksgiving with their mother, Mrs. E. Dorech. Mr. Solomon Oliver Osborn gave a lecture at the A. M. e. church night subject, "Climbing the Lady in Harmony with Reason, Truth Justice and Duty to Hicher, Better and Nobler Manhood and Womanhood." An trish Bull. George Moore, the novelist, has accumulated from his residence in Ireland and a number of Irish anecdotes that are not included in his sad book, "The Untilled Field." Mr. Moore says that he was walking one day in a Dublin street when an undertaker's assistant passed him, carrying on his back a coffin unusually tiny. A young man stopped the assistant near Mr. Moore, "its it possible," exclaimed the young man, "that this coffin is intended for any living creature?" CARLOS MAYOR CASCADES LOOKING NORTH.

Pike Johnson Singer AN INTERESTING CAREER. Born in a Log Cabin, He Became Friend of World's Highest Digni- l Frederick James Loudin, the well known Fisk Jubilee singer, died on Nov. 3 at Ravanna. His death was a shock to the great number of people who knew him. The Cleveland Gazette says: Mr. Loudin was born in a log cabin on a farm in Charlestown, O. 62 years ago, his father and mother coming from New England and making their home in this unbroken land. His advantages for an education were limited, being only those obtained in a country school. He learned the printer's trade in Ravanna under Abram Pryme. After leaving Ravanna he could never work at his trade, on account of his color. He finally located in Pittsburg, where he married Miss Harriet Johnson in 1870. In the year 1874 he went south, intending to locate, but soon became connected with the Fisk Jubilee Singers. Mr. Loudin sang for the university until the latter part of 1878, during which time he sang in the United States, Canada, England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, during that time please for pleasure Turin, Genoa, Pisa, Rome, Naples, Bologna, Venice, Florence, Milan and Paris. In 1878, after the Fisk Jubilee EXPOSITION. RIGHT. Singers returned to America, the university decided as there were so many imitators in the field, that it would not be profitable to keep the company longer, so the singers, with the former director, organized a stock company. This lasted until 1882, when Mc. Loomass assumed the control of the company, which he retained until his illness in 1903. During a time of his management his company sang for two years in the United States and Canada, then went abroad and spent two years in Great Britain, then went to Australia. On the way there he went to Egypt, where he visited Cairo and the Pyramids; then went to Ismailia and Suez. They arrived in Melbourne, Australia, on the 14th day of May, 1886, where a most wonderful success awaited them. They sang for more than three months, singing in one hall, which has a seating capacity of 3,200, for 26 consecutive nights; in Sydney 40 nights, Bristain 20 nights—meeting with unprecedented success everywhere. This success was fully maintained during a stay of three years and a half in Australia and New Zealand. After leaving Australia they visited Ceylon, then went to India, going to Ceylon, Cawpore, Lucknow, Agra, Allahabad, Bombay and Madras; then crossing the bay of Bengal to Burma, stopping at Rangoon, then going down to the Malay peninsula and visiting Singapore; the up to Hong Kig, Canton and Shanghai; then across to Japan, visiting Negasaki, Kobe and Yokohama, meeting with great success at every place visited. In Kobe they visited a ladies' school and as a token of their delight in his singing he was presented with two beautiful vases. Mr Loudin arrived with his company in the United States and reached home in June, 1890, thus completing a tour --- of six and a half years of uninterrupted success. He was a great collector of curiosities, and among the valuable momentes of his trips abroad is an autograph album. The number of autographs of the highest dignitaries of the world it contains makes it one of the most remarkable albums of its kind. While on a third tour to Great Britain, having left America in '97, his was taken ill in October, 1903. His company was disbanded in May, 1903, and he returned home in October of the same year, having been under the care of some of the most eminent physicians in Greenwich Village. It was hoped to return to his native country would restore him to health, but it was not to be. After more than two years of terrible suffering, on November 3 he fell peacefully and quietly asleep in the arms of his devoted wife, with whom he had spent 34 years of unbroken happiness. His wife, sister and niece have the heartfelt sympathy of thousands of friends and acquaintances in America and abroad—New York Age. SIOUX CITY ITEMS Thursday, November 24, is officially announced as Thanksgiving. The features of Sioux City's observance will be union services at the churches and family dinner parties which gather in accordance with well established custom and elijay the day together. Mrs. Sarah Ennis arrived in our city Saturday from Fort Niobara to spend the winerie with her sister, Mrs. A. Jojon. The Silver Leaf club met with Mrs. A. Jordan Tuesday evening. The members of the A. M. E. church will give Thanksgiving dinner at the church. The entertainment given by the improvement circle was a success socially and financially. The new pastor for the A. M.

Just think, just one month more before the year of your birth and how nice it will be to square with the By-sunder, so you could read the paper with a clear conscience. The marriage of Mrs. Mattie Taylor and Mr. Herman Ramsay, which was solemnized at 8 o'clock Thursday evening, November 17th, at the residence of the bride, was of a quiet form which is rapidly gaining in popularity in our city.

The ceremony was performed in the parlor, the presence of the brides mother and children and a few friends.

In Clapton, a poor quarter of Lorton, fees of twopence (4 cents) are said to be not unknown.

We want to establish a loan department, where we can loan money to our policyholders and stockholders. We want to make a deposit of $10,000.00 in the treasury of the state. In that way we will be able to do show to the world that we mean business. In order to do this the corporation is capitalized for Twenty-five thousand dollars (2,500 shares at $10.00 each).

Byrd, President. 806 East Broad St., Richmond, Va., or 616 k St., N. W. Washington D. C. Bachelors will tell you that matrimony also is among the doubtful states. Dr. Hirsch tells us that marriage is no picnic. The doctor's text is older than the Pentateuch. France produced 8,000 novels last year—percentage adapted for perusal by The Young Girl not stated. There is a cat in London worth $5,000—just as there are postage stamps that are "worth" $7,000 or so apiece. The Baldwin flying machine lighted in a tree. The only genuine and original flying machines also light in trees. A minister says Manhattan island is named in the Bible. Certainly—that island is heaven on earth—if you are not bankrupt. A St. Louis woman has left her comparatively new husband because he is too good natured. It surely is hard to suit 'em. A Chicago newspaper says that John D. Rockefeller is "rich beyond the dreams of avarice." Rot! Aavirice never closes an eye. Prof. Langley may retort to Prof. Baldwin that anyway he wouldn't give much for an airship that won't stand when hitched. No, King Edward, you are not powerful enough to set up the fashion of bracelets for men, and they are already worn by dudes. They say parting the masculine head of hair in the middle has really gone out. The side part's the thing. Besides, it's more masculine. Uncle Sam must be something of a farmer when the statistics show that the railroads received more than $463,000,000 for simply moving his 1904 crop. Really, the correspondents in St. Petersburg aren't doing their full duty to the world. Are there any indications yet that the new baby is going to have a tooth? Young Mr. Thaw's pretty little chorus girl offers to give him up for $200,000. But what can a pretty little chorus girl be expected to know about ad valorem? Now that her husband is the King of Saxony, Louise, who ran away with Giron, seeks to join His Majesty in the exercise of the divine right of kingship. The fifty Italians who plotted to burn the Norfolk, Va., navy yards are to be shipped out of the state. The Virginians think this is worse than capital punishment. King Edward has just celebrated his sixty-third birthday, but he hopes that he is in no immediate danger of losing his job so that a place may be made for a younger man. So Mr. Schwab has "made" $5,600,000 and Mr. Gates $6,000,000 in the merry game of manipulating stocks. Our sincere condolences to the bleating lambs who lost their money. There is some hope for the plain people. A Georgia judge has sentenced a chauffer to a long term of imprisonment for running down a fake wagon and injuring its occupants. The vice president of Mexico attended the Gans-Britt prize fight at San Francisco recently. He says it was worse than bull fighting. What would he have thought if they had really fought? In view of the riot in the Spanish chamber of deputies, Premier Maura is going to suspend the sittings and ask for a vote of confidence. He seems to need one badly, among the flying inkstands. Doubtless the criminal who suggests novelties in the way of home-made Christmas presents for the male members of the household is responsible for the report that knitting is coming back into style. John D. Rockefeller recited a poem to his Sunday school class in Cleveland when he bade it good-bye for the winter a few months ago. If John D. develops a knitting for it poetry may pick up a bit, after all. The London Times is printing extracts from its columns of even date 100 years ago, but, interesting as they are, they aren't nearly as much as extracts from its columns of even date 100 years hence would be. Treasury officials report that while some people have expressed a desire for the coin of a new two-and-a-half cent piece, the real demand for such coin is small. Some fear its chief use would be to put in the contribution box. The New York papers are still pointing with singular pride to the paw in a fashionable church over that there has just fetched $1,550. That is just about 2 per cent of the latest selling price of a single seat in the stock exchange. Being asked her occupation, a witness in a New York court cheerfully replied: "My occupation? I am a widow, I don't do anything." Being asked her age she answered: "I will admit that I am over 21." And yet some people think that lawyers seeking information lead an easy life. All good Kontuckians are noting with considerable satisfaction that chemist Wiley isn't saying anything disparaging about whisky, but confining his crusade to the harmful substances that people eat into it. ADVOCATES CAUSE OF IOWA VETERANS IS MATTER OF INSCRIPTIONS Appears for Fifteenth and Sixteenth Iowa Regiment—Is Given Audience by Gen. Oliver and Expresses Hope at Satisfactory Settlement. Washington, Nov. 23.—Governor Cummins appeared before General Robert Shaw Oliver, acting secretary of war, yesterday and in an exhaustive argument of two hours presented the case of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Iowa regiments who are seeking inscriptions on their regimental monuments and the report of their participation in the fighting of April 6, 1862, in accordance with the reports of their colonels. As a result of the hearing, there is strong ground for hope that the long standing difference between the survivors of the war and the national commission will be harmoniously adjusted to the satisfaction of the veterans and the war department. General Oliver received Governor Cummins with all possible courtesy and considered the subject in detail in the broadest and kindest spirit, but he did not yet announced but Governor Cummins looks for one in a few weeks. While the governor would not authorize 'the statement that the decision would be favorable, he did not at least highly encouraged and pleased over his conference with General Oliver. He says: "I believe that the controversy over the inscriptions will be settled finally in a few weeks. I feel much encouraged over the hearing, with me in a way that showed the broadest possible spirit and a desire to do justice to the survivors of the regiments. I cannot forecast his decision or in any way prejudice it, but I hope for the best." Cummins on his return to Iowa will prepare modified inscriptions for the monuments of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth regiments, showing that each took part in the forementioned fighting of April 6 at the hours asserted by the survivors, with this addition, going to the report of its commander." These inscriptions will be presented to General Oliver and if approved by him, the adjustment will be complete. It is believed that the compromise will be made, and that it is probable adjustment will be reached so that preparations for the dedication of the monuments by the state of Iowa can be entered on this day. The dedication will be placed on the 8th and 7th of next April or the coming Memorial day. SEIBERT NOT GUILTY. Oskaloosa Boy Murderer is Acquitted By Jury. Oksaloake, Nov. 21.—After being out less than an hour the jury returned a verdict of not guilty in the case of State vs. Jimmie Seibert, charged with the murder of J. L. Nelson. Seibert killed Nelson with a shot gun, but did the deed, as he thought, in defense of his sister. Seibert home with Charles Carpenter, who is now serving a term in the pententary for the ruin of Mae Seibert, the boy's sister. The boy for a year had been wrought up over the deed, and surmising that Nelson was an accountant at the carpenter's, after them with a gun. Carpenter made good his escape, while Nelson was hit. It was also shown that Selbert had brooded over his family troubles so long that he could not mind when he fired the fatal shot. The verdict was the signal for a sigh of relief upon all sides and the members of the Solbert family broke down in tears and censured. Mother and sister could not control themselves and for a time wept convulsively. Jimnie, the defendant, seemed not to realize the realities of their situation and most unmoved. Friends and neighbors crowded about the family and congratulations were freely offered, but they were so overcome that they could little more than extend their thanks. BEUTHIEN ARRESTED Missing Cashier of New Liberty Bank in Custody. Chicago, Nov. 23.—After being an "angel" to the extent of $60,000, Arnold Beuthlin, formerly cashier of the New Liberty bank, declared that he became an embezzler a fugitive from justice and a pauper now in town. He also declared that he, Manager William Cleveland of the Cleveland theater is responsible for his dire predicament. He was arrested at Union park yesterday afternoon by Detectives Flynn and McLean on a charge of stealing $60,000 from the bank over which he had been involved. When taken into custody Beuthlin was sitting on a park bench. His clothing was threadbare, his face had been unshaven for several days, and he was exhausted from hunger and lack of sleep. He was taken to the station Beuthlin said that about eight months ago he met Mr. Cleveland in a town in southern Illinois. "I had $25,000 of my own and soon lost that in the theatrical schemes," he said. "Then I commenced to steal. In a short time I had taken $60,000, every cent of which I had been paid." Finally I saw that I could no longer bide my speculations and I fed. "For weeks I have been living in Chicago on 30c and 40c a day." Sells Home to Ray Shortage Sells Home to Pay Shortage.

White Minera Refuse to Work Longer With Nitroces. Boone, Nov. 21.—Race war is feared as a consequence of the shooting at Fraser Saturday evening, in which James Price, a negro minor, shot and fatally wounded Thomas Albright, a white companion. Albright is much worse and is slowly smoking. Doctors say that he cannot recover. The white miners held a meeting yesterday afternoon, at which they voted to decline to work with the colored miners. Feeling has run high since the discovery that Price was in Fraser at 10 o'clock last night, and the whites charge the negroes with affording him shelter. There are from thirty-five to fifty negroes in the camp, and about 1,200 white men. Most of the men carry revolvers, and if an array was once started it would probably be a bloody conflict. It has been learned that Price, after the shooting, crossed the river, going in the direction of Fraser Junction. Later on, he returned to Fraser and, it is surmised, was concealed by his friends until he was able to leave town. The huts were all searched by the whites in their search for Price, but he was enabled to evade their scrutiny. It is now thought that he is making for Des Moines across country.

St. Petersburg, Nov. 25.—Unofficial advices only bring affairs at the front up to November 23, and the absence of official news of later date, either because of the lack of information, arouses the belief that more important operations than heretofore may be progressing.

Suddenly he became aware that his friends at the table were convulsed with laughter, which much aystified him, and he was able to wait when the waiter quietly remarked: "Pardon me, senator, but that's my thumb."

The supreme court has knocked out the contention of the saloon men of the state that the Fourth of July is not such a legal holiday as meant by the mulet law in providing that saloons shall close on legal holidays. It decided that the Fourth is such a day and enumerates several others, such as January 1, February 22, May 30, December 1, February 24. Monday in Thanksgiving day was not mentioned specifically by the supreme court, but its opinion covers all legal holidays. A reward of $200 is now offered for the arrest and delivery of Neil Mathews, the Des Moines negro who, on November 2, killed Burt Travis, fatally shot Roland Higgs and assaulted both Mrs. Diggs, and his own wife, Anna Mathews. The reward was offered by Governor Cummins, who issued a proclamation to that effect. The local police department for the capture of Mathews, but since he disappeared after the murder at the Diggs' home on Ninth street, his whereabouts have been a mystery. He was seen at the army post the day after and was challenged to be seen next at the Seventeenth street bridge, where for several days he loitered around and visited with his friends. By his being secreted by negroes in that part of the city, the attempts of the police to locate him were further delayed. There is no doubt and Governor Cummins expressed a desire to see him brought to justice. Mathews has before killed his man, but escaped from jail while awaiting sentence. He is a coacnei and is otherwise depraved. Governor Cummins has also been awarded for the apprehension of the murderer of James Smytte of What Cheer, in the sum of $200. It is believed that the next move on the part of the prosecuting witnesses in the Leton Ballet case, will be for the recovery of $2,500 which is now on deposit in Des Moines, and was to have been used for the defense of the late mining promoter in the federal courts. G. H. Stuller, secretary of the White Moines Mines company, Bailer Chase Group, and has brought the books of the White Swan company with his and proposes to show that Ballet has credited himself on the books of the company with the amount now on deposit in Des Moines for his defense. The company has been expended by Ballet of the funds of the company and stockholders in his defense in former prosecutions, and that the books will show this expenditure beyond any question.

Innumerable applications for positions in the offices of the secretary of the state executive council during the compilation of the state census next spring and summer, have been filed with Secretary Davison. While the council has not fixed the compensation of the assistants who will do the statistical work of compilation of the statistics, the public has little if any above $2 a day will offered for the clerks, stenographers and accountants. The state has $15,000 to expend in this work and while the printing and schedules and the publication of the census after it is compiled does not come out of this appropriation, the council must finance it, bring the expense within the sum mentioned, which is way under the cost of the census of 1895. Ex-Attorney General Remley believes that when the test is carried to the supreme court, the Titon amendment will suffer the fate of four years ago.

PICKS UP RUG TO EXTINGUISH BOMB Elmer E. Thomas of Omaha Has Narrow Escape From Awtul Death. "Has Attorney For Civic Federation Which Was Prosecuting the Chief of Police on Charges of Shielding Criminals. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 23.—The home of Elmer E. Thomas, attorney for the Civic Federation and prosecutor of "Tom" Dennison, who has been indicted in Iowa in connection with the Police morpheline diamond robbery at 4836 Thomas street, was wreced by a dynamic battle at 2:10 o'clock yesterday morning. All Omaha is roused over the act. A mass meeting of the citizens and the bar association has been called to take action regarding the crime. New evidence of history has the settlement been so intense. The Civic Federation, of which Thomas, was the head, has called a business meeting and the determination is apparent that the lawless element must suffer the lawless element of the act whether it is guilty or not. Mrs. Thomas heard a slight noise and awakened her husband, who went to the door, thinking the place was on fire, and just as he got to the door the bomb exploded entirely wrecked and Mr. Thomas was thrown to the ground. He was covered with dirt and debris from the porch, while the front of the house was entirely wrecked. Mr. Thomas describes the bomb as being struck by a fuse attached to it. It was charged with blasting powder or dynamite, as was proved by the fact that not only the joists under the porch and also the steps leading up to the porch were broken from the hinges and all the windows demolished. The most dangerous feature of the whole matter is the condition of Mrs. Thomas. She is in a delicate condition, so to become a mother, and it is very difficult for a crack may produce very serious results. Chief of Police Donahue and Chief of Detectives Dunn visited the Thomas home yesterday morning, but gained little, if any, cue with which to up a few pieces of postboard that looked like that used in bombs. Mrs. Thomas has recovered from her nervousness. Omaha, Neb., Nov. 23—What may have caused the immediate cause of yesterday's dynamic outrage is to be found in the fact that John J. Donahue, chief of the Omaha police department, in the presence of many of the leading citizens of Omaha, was arrested for assault, fire and police board for failure, neglect and refusal to enforce the law relative to the closing of saloons between the hours of midnight and 4 a.m., and the order of the board to institution outside the proscribed district. On next Monday night Chief Donahue will be on pat trial on the charge of complicity with thieves and other crimes with the law and theming them from the law. In each instance his recuser is the Civic Federation of Omaha, through its attorney, Elmer D. Thomas, and in each the office he now holds him from the office he now holds. ALL RUSSIA EXCITED.

The hotel lodges are crowded, almost resembling convention times in American cities. The permission granted by Interior Minister Sviatopolk-Mirkys was for an assembly of three hundred. The situation altogether is unanticipated, and such a gathering has ever before been permitted in Russia. As evidence of the remarkable state of affairs it is sufficient to mention that one of the most prominent speakers yesterday was M. Pruniksvitch of Tver, who spent twenty-four hours at the conference has been allowed since Prince Sviatopolk-Mirkys's advent to come to the capital. Nevertheless the most able men in the assembly are counseling moderation and are doing everything possible to prevent demonstrations which might compel interference in the strongest memoirs of the conference said to the Association Press: "We want to make our position plain to the government, but we desire to avoid every appearance of lawlessness. I sincerely hope the meet here will be able to deal with the issue. We hope and expect that all provincial and district Zemstvos will follow our lead and demonstrate to the government that the voice of the nation is unanimous in asking for a direct share in the government by the people. *Think Garrison Can Hold Out.* Berlin, N. 23. *The Mukden correspondent of the Lokal Anzeiger sends the following:* *Reports of the death of General Kuroki persist, in spite of denials, and are the first of those coming from the Japanese camps.* *First Lieutenant Schukoff, who has just arrived from Port Arthur, reports that the Russians have laid out three lines of defenses, when the Japanese must move in, the city of Fortune will catch the Russians can retire to the coast forts, which are the strongest of all. The garrison, which comprises more than 4,000 men, is in good spirits and Ant Schukoff, who that for the former hold out at least until the end of January.* Folk's Blurality 30,000.

Urgents Extension of Powers of Interstate Commerce Commission—The President Expresses No Indication of His Personal Views. Washington, Nov. 22. - Interstate transportation matters with specifie reference to the faxing of railroad freight rates, formed the subject of an important conference at the White House yesterday. By previous appointment Governor Van Sant of Minnesota, Governor Cummins of Iowa, and Governor Warren of the interstate commerce law convention; Frank Barry of Milwaukee, secretary of the convention, and R.A. Highy of New York, an official of the National Lumber Dealer's association, urged him to use his influence to secure the enactment of a law which would confer upon the interstate commerce commission power to fix railroad freight rates in the commerce between states. It was pointed out that the commission had prior to 1887 the interstate commerce commission had exercised the power to adjust railroad freight rates in order to prevent discrimination, but that since that time, by reason of a decision of the United States supreme court, power and been denied t. commission. It was urged by the delegation that a law be enacted by congress conferring upon the commission authority to adjust rates when they were found to be unjust, and by a violation of the interstate commerce act. The delegation also suggested to the president the desirability of discussing the subject in his forthcoming message. The president indicated, however, that personal views were, contenting himself with giving a careful hearing to the statements made. Governor Cummins was occupied most of the morning in the hearing at the White House. He did not take notice of the comments. In the afternoon he received many calls at the Arlington, among them John A. Kasson. This morning Governor Cummins has an appointment with Acting Secretary Oliver of the war department, regard to the owemental inscriptions on the monuments at Shiloh. JAPANESE MOVING BY FLANK St. Petersburg, Nov. 24.—Apparitions again point to the possibility, o a big battle south of Mukden. The Japanese, according to an official report, have received a severe backback in the vicinity of Sintasin, in which troops attempting to execute a white turning movement. Military opinion here believes it possible that the two great armies can winter less than a rifle shot distant from each other, though the heavy defenses on each side make it extremely difficult for either to assemble. However, that the deadlock is to be broken, General Kuropatkin will let Field Marshal Goyan take the initiative, as the Russians have the better of the present position, namely, a strong line of defence and Mukden behind them, making the Russian reinforcements are now accumulating for an advance next spring. The Japanese also are being strongly reinforced. The rivers are already frozen sufficiently to permit of movement of artillery and commissariat trains, so the Russian is better adapted to a Japanese advance than during the summer. Mukden, Nov. 24.-Indications are growing that the Japanese are undertaking a wide turnaround on the Russian left. A large number of Japanese soldiers going eastward and some artillery exchanges have also been reported from the eastward. General Kuropattin has permitted men who have captured horses to se, them to officers, the proceeds to go to families killed in battle. Folder is becoming exceedingly scarce. The spirits of the men are good, and the food is satisfactory. The rations of the men at the outposts and in the battlefield seem to them as it would be impossible to do so during the day, because the Japanese shell every convoy. MOODY STAYS IN CABINET. Present Attorney General Reconsiderers Intention. Washington, Nov. 22—It was announced at the White House yesterday that Attorney General Moody has decided to remain in President Roosevelt's new cabin. It is clear that the president and Mr. Moody are in perfect accord in their ideas as to the conduct of the department of justice, and in order to carry into effect certain plans which the president and I have agreed to support, the request of Mr. Roosevelt to continue in the office of attorney general. The decision of Attorney General Moody makes it certain that the heads of six of the great executive departments are determined by the president for the next administration. Mr. Hay will continue at the head of the state department, Mr. Taft at the head of the war department, Mr. Metcalf at the head of the military and labor, Mr. Wilson at the head of the agricultural department, and National Chairman George B. Corteloy will be postmaster general after the 4th of next March. It is expected, Mr. Corteloy, as secretary of the treasury, and Mr. Morton as secretary of the navy; but as to those two, no definite information is obtainable. A change is expected in the department of the interior, but let it be known publicly whether he desires to retire or not. Offers Place to Cockrell. Washington, Nov. 22.—The president has offered Senator Cockrell of Missouri the Isthmian canal commission to design a new nation of Colonel Hecker of Michigan, and has also told him that if he feels that his health will not permit him to 'taunt' the governor, he should offer him a position in the Interstate Commerce commission. New Explanation Presented of the North Sea Tragedy. FATAL MIX-UP IN THE FOG Russian Cruiser Aurora Is Said to Have Done the Firing-Fighting on Shakhe River Is Growing Fiercer and Big Battle Is Awaited. London, Nov. 22.—The Daily Mall's Copenhagen correspondent recounts a story from a member of the crew of the Russian cruiser Aurora to the effect that Vice Admiral Ropestvensky's flagship Knaz Suvarov, mistakenly in the fog off Dogger bank, bombarded the Aurora, whereupon the Aurora signalling "we are being fired at," herself fired 350 stalks at the Italian trawlers and the Russian fleet. This wore two Russian torpedo boats with the first division of the battleship to which the Aurora belonged. St. Petersburg, Nov. 22—A special dispatch from Tien Tien printed here, stating that the American consul at the Cfoo has warned the state department at Washington of the imminent attack, and received with considerable criticism, the allegation being made that the dispatch was prompted by a desire to help the Japanese war loan. Mukden, Nov. 22—The Russian detachments occupying Da pass have retreated before the Japanese column, 10,000 yards. The Japanese are reported to be advancing towards Sinuijin. Borlin, Nov. 22.—A dispatche to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Mukund under today's date: gaps. "The reconnaissance fights have assumed a more violent character during the past four days. Particularly hot was the fighting on Pontioult (Lone Tree Hill). The Japanese were reactive, all signs indicate that great events are imminent. The road to Siminiuim, owing to the excellent patrol service, is quite safe from Chinese bandits, thus guaranteeing unhindered communication with Tien Tien and establishing a second line of intercourse with the Russians. The troops is excellent. The Russians admire the clean lines, perfect order and equipment of the Japanese. One does not see any trace of race hatred. It is a fact that the Japanese return through French intermediation to the dead Russians. This has made a deep impression here and is recropped." WILL BE TREMENDOUS. Japanese Gather in Force to Assail Port Arthur. The Che, Nov. 22.—A Japanese official, among the latest arrivals from Dalyn, states positively that the general attack upon Port Arthur has not been begun. Rumors to that effect in Dalyn have arisen because fresh troops, including the Seven. men, are landed, are being sent to the front. It is believed that the explosion which took place on November 19, was much heavier, and it is reported upon the best authority was due to a blowing up of a Russian magazine. It is expected that the next attack upon Port Arthur will be a tremendous affair. More reinforcements are being sent to Dalyn, Nogil than those dispatched to Field Marshal Oyama. The Japanese are now constructing coast defense forts at Pigeon bay, which is accepted as an indication that they expect to be bringing Port Arthur some day themselves. DESERTIONS INCREASE. Reported That Port Arthur Garrison is Demoralized. London, Nov. 24—A dispatch from Tokio to the Standard reports increasing desertions from the Port Arthur garrison into the Japanese Lines, the stories these deserters tell indicating the demoralization of the Russian defenders. The same correspondent says the Russian defenses on the sea front of Port Arthur no longer fire on the approach of the Japanese warships. The Daily Telegraph's correspondent at Port Arthur says the Russian warships, when berthed, will be completely isolated from other shipping, and that they will be allowed to take on water and provisions, but the corpse of the Japanese warship certain whether they will be permitted to coal, the authorities seemingly being undecided on that point. The Japanese, according to a dispatch from Che Foo to the Chronicle, are reported to have captured the Japanese Tung show, Indian with 20,000 cases of canned meat for Port Arthur.

"WHACKS" And What They Mean When Old Mother Nature gives you a "whack" remember "there's a reason," so try and say "thank you," then set about finding what you have done to demand the rebuke, and try and get back into line, for that's the happy place after all. Curious how many highly organized people to appreciate and heed the first little, gentle "whacks" of the old good Dane, but go right along with the habit whatever it may be, that causes her disapproval, Whiskey, Tobacco, Coffee, Tea or other unnatural treatment of the body, until serious illness sets in or some chronic disease. Some people seem to get on very well with those things for a while, and Mother Nature apparently cares by her side. Perhaps she has no particular plans for them and she thinks it little use to waste time in their training. There are people, however, who seem to be selected by Nature to "do things." The Old Mother expects them to carry out some department of her great work. A portion of these selected ones off and again seek to stimulate the body by some one or more of the drugs—Whiskey, Tobacco, Coffee, Tea, Morphine, etc. You know all of these throw down the same class of alkaloids in Chemical analysis. They stimulate and then depress. They take from man or woman the power to do his or her best work. After these people have drugged for a time, they get a hint, or mild "whack" to remind them that they have work to do, a mission to perform, and should be about the business, but are loafing along the wayside and become unfited for the fance and fortune that waits for them if they but stick to the course and keep the body out of the way so they can carry out the behests of the mind. Sickness is a call to "come up higher." These hints come in various forms. It may be stomach trouble or bowels, heart, eyes, kidneys or general nervous prostration. You may depend upon it when a "whack" comes it's a warning to quit some abuse and do the right and fair thing with the body. Perhaps it is coffee drinking that offends. That is one of the greatest causes of human disorder among Americans. Now, then. If Mother Nature is gentle with you and only gives light, little "whacks" at first to attract attention, don't abuse her consideration, or she will soon hit you harder, sure. And you may be sure she will hit you very, very hard if you insist on following the way you have been going. It seems hard work to give up a habit, and we try all sorts of plans to charge our all feelings to some other cause than the real one. Coffee drinkers when ill will attribute the trouble to bad food, malaria, overwork and what not, but they keep on being sick and gradually getting worse until they are finally forced to quit entirely, even the "only one cup a day." Then they been to get better, and unless they have gone long enough to set up some fixed organic disease, they generally get entirely well. It is easy to quit coffee at once and for all, by having well made Postam, with its rich, deep seel brown color which comes to the beautiful golden brown when good cream is added, and the crisp snap of good, mild Java is there if the Postum has been boiled long enough to ritse it out. It pays to be well and happy for good old Mother Nature then sends us her blessings of and various birds and helps us to gain fame and fortune. She off the handcaps, leave out the deadening habits, heed Mother Nature's hints, quit being a loser and become a winner. She will help you sure if you cut out the things that keep you back.

For about eight years I suffered with a headache scarcely see at all. The doctors told me that one of my eyes was entirely red and I could get relief from the most prominent doctors of the state. The more medicine they put into my eyes the worse I got. I could get relief from the left eye was entirely dead the bet-ter, be as, as it interfered with the other. A. B. Dr. Arntz, after morn...2 careful ex- amines the patient. He was almost as good as my right. He examined both my eyes and in a little distance, he saw that I was very nec- sary to have very different lenses for each eye. His story sounded so un- familiar in it. But as I had tried every way to find a lens that would sort I gave him a chance. So to make a long story short I will say he restor- ed his eyes with a new lens that blind. I am not troubled with severe neck pain. I am more than more think people should know these others may suffer as I and might be cured by MRS. M.

Regulates Baptism of Children. The Swiss government has decided no longer to permit parents to baptize their offspring by fantastic names.

The names were condemned and the children have been legally baptized. When we look at the world in a narrow way, how small it seems! When we look at it in a mean way, how mean it is!
