From the time of the organization of the Union Congregational church, evangelistic meetings have been going on, in the church at each service, upon the streets and in the homes, wherever the gospel could be presented to mankind we have not allowed the opportunity to pass. Our work is to present the gospel of Jesus Christ to all mankind, and our aim is to go out and find them, not to enumerate their faults, but to lead them to Christ who said, 'If I be lifted up from the earth will draw all men unto me.

Washington, Given Rousing Reception by Kansas Legislature and Officials, Later is Rebuffed at Hostelries. (Special to the Record Herald) Topela, Kan., Jan. 18.—Acclaimed by the legislators, officials and judiciary of the state, Booker T. Washington later today found humiliation at the hands of hotelkeepers. Haiting the legislative machinery of the state for a half hour, the senators and representatives adjourning that they might hear him speak, the negro leader a few hours later found himself a homeless wanderer in the streets of Wichita. A friend of his own race finally took him in. Mr. Washington entered the hall of representatives in the capital arm and arm with the governor. With the chief executive and the lieutenant governor the negro mounted the platform. All the members of both houses were present. The justice of the supreme court, the state officers and the office employees of each joined in the welcome. When Mr. Washington stt foot in Wichita the scene was changed. From hotel to hotel he made his way, each time being refused shelter. In every case the excuse was the same—the hotel's regular patrons never would sanction such a proceeding. "What am I to do?" asked the negro. "I cannot remain all night in the street." "Can't tell you," was the stereotyped reply. And there the matter stood. Shortly before the lecture which he delivered there tonight Sam Jones, a negro politician, came to the rescue, Mr. Washington went to his home for the night. (Such is the condition that honest and honorable American citizens are compelled to bear in a land of the brave and home of the free (especially if the guest should be colored). We wonder when will the public conscience arouse and renounce such gross injustices perpetrated upon one of our own citizens. Indeed those little people very much monitored to an intelligent person. The good class and better thinking people of Wichita and all other towns should denounce, ignore and drive out all such low bred, ignorant hotel proprietors out of business; this age does not need them.)—Editor. A CLUB ORGANIZATION AT WASHINGTON, D. C. (Special to Bystander.) The Capitol Pleasurse Club, an organization composed of the colored employees of the Capitol, and of which your humble servant is a member and treasurer, held a meeting one evening last week, and after transacting business in the interest of the club, they were invited into the banquet hall by Mr. Fred Douglas, where a table was filled with plenty to eat, and the occasion enlivened with speeches by Col, Robt. Keyes, William Lucus and others. On motion of Mr. Keys a resolution was adopted indorsing Mr. Nathaniel G. Robinson of West Virginia for the office of Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, should the President decide to make a change in that office. Mr. Robinson is a native of West Virginia where he has always claimed his legal residence and exasperating it in the interest of his race and the republican party, of which he has been a potent factor for the last Twenty-five years. Deserving and capable of any honor of reason that the party could bestow upon him, besides recognizing the loyalty of about twenty thousand colored republicans that was always counted solid prior to the election, is why I join the sentiment of this club in asking my Iowa friends through the medium of your paper to join with us in indorsing. Mr. Robinson of West Virginia for Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia, and thus encourage a race that is always counted on in advance to help keep the solid South broken. T. E. BARTON. MT.

DISFIGURING ULCER People Looked at Her in Amusement —Pronounced Incurable—Face New Clear as Ever—Thanks God for Cuticura. Mrs. P. Hackett, of 400 Van Buren St. Brooklyn, N. Y. says: "I wish you would be for the marvelous cure may mother by cuticura. She had a severe ulcer, which physicians had pronounced incurable. It was a terrible disgustment, and people would stand in amazement and look after her. After there was no hope from doctors she began using Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Pills, and now, Thank God, she is completely cured, and her face is as smooth and clear as ever." The deserving poor are often those who don't deserve to be poor. A negro hack driver in Washington was hatching to reach his destination with his passenger, when he encountered a funeral moving at rapid speed. He was superstitiously opposed to crossing between the long line of carriages, but failed. Ranging alongside of the hearse, he shouted to the driver: "Say, boss, hold up an' let me go past. My passenger is in a hurry, an' yours isn't." A strange discovery, a pigeon's nest constructed entirely of hairpins, was made by some workmen while cleaning the front of a bank building in Piccadilly, London. The hairpins numbered several hundreds, and were glazed and matted together like a wire net. The nest was over in its widest part, and six and a half in its narrowest. Every description of hairpins had been used in building it. A novel theory has been advanced with regard to the human eye. It is that in the color of people's eyes is a protective adaptation to surroundings. Natives of regions where blue light is predominant—Swedes, Norwegians and sailors, for instance—have blue eyes; while near the equator, or in sage lands like south Africa, eyes are preferentially the eyes take a rich, dark, yellow hue, as those of Kaffirs and Malays, Italians and Spaniards. CAUSE AND CURE OF RHEUMATISM shown by numerous cures made by Dodd's Kidney Pills. They cure the Kidneys and the Rheumatism cures itself—Remarkable case of Maggie E. Deckert. Eagle River, Wls., Jan. 16.—(Special)—That rheumatism is caused by disordered kidneys is proved by the cures Dodd's Kidney Pills are making cure the Kidneys and the Rheumatism cures itself. A cure that has caused deep interest in this neighborhood is that of Maggie E. Deckert. In speaking of it she says: "I had kidney trouble and the rheumatism and was so lame I could not walk I could not sleep for Iached all over I was in a terrible state and firmly believe that If I had not used Dodd's Kidney Pills I would be dead. I took six boxes of them and they have all medicines and the other medicine I ever took. Now my aches are all gone, I can eat and sleep and I am feeling good. I want all the world to know that Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me." Young man, if you have doubts about anything, give your conscience the benefit of the doubt. ALL CRGPS GOOD IN WESTERN CANADA. "Petecathes the Finest I Ever Saw." Owing to the great amount of interest that is being taken in Western Canada, it is well to be informed of some of the facts that are bringing about the great excitement from permafrost and the United States. The Canadian government has an authorized agents at different points, and the facts related in the following may be corroborated on application. At the same time they will be able to quote you rates, and give you certificates enitting you to low rates on the different lines of railway. The following letter copied from the North Bend (Neb) Eagle is an unissolved testimonial, and the experience of other Americans who have made Canada their home during the past seven or eight years: I presume some may be interested to know how we have progressed this year in the Canadian Northwest. We have no complaint to offer. We have had a good year, crop success, a good season, a good season, a good season. I threw from my place, 8,650 bushels of grain. My oats made 65 bushels per acre and weighed 42½ pounds per bushel. My wheat made 31½ bushels per acre and is No. I. Quality. My wheat quality. My crop is a fair average of the crops in the Edmonton district. "All crops were good here this season. Potatoes the finest I ever saw, and all vegetables adapted to the climate. We have had a very fine fall, but no exception to the rule, as the fall season is, I think, the most pleasant of the year. We have had no need for irrigation, we have been plowing and working the land preparing for an early seeding next spring. Last night the mercury dropped lower than any previous night this fall, and this morning there is a crust of frost on the fields sufficient to prevent field work. No doubt many would imagine that Alberta had put on her winter overcoat before this and that the people were wrapped in furs, but it is not clear how much of the country will not be looked upon as an iceberg, but a country fit for the best of marking to live in. "We are now assured of a transcontinental railway, which is to be built to the Pacific during the next five years. The Canadian Northern road is graded to within seventy-five miles of Edmonton. It comes from Winnipeg, and will reach us next summer, so with one railroad already at hand, the second to reach us in less than a week and the third to our city and open up this country to the west across the Rockies to the coast within five years, we surely have reason to believe that the country is progressing. Very recently, I.D. APTEN. No other city disputes Boston's title of "Hub." Too suggestive of wheels. Miss Letter will get the Suffolk family gems; Suffolk will get the Letter family "rocks." Exchange says that "a woman can make a fool of any man." As a rule she doesn't need to. The New York papers have kindly refrained from describing Uncle Rus cell Sage's Christmas. Doubtless the proposed permanent alliance of Balkan states would be a good thing while it lasted. A New York man is living with a rubber stomach. The rubber neck may be taken for granted. The boll weevil's increase of activity leads to a suspicion that the Guatemalan ants went over to the enemy. Port Arthur's new tenants may like the location, but they will find the premises in a shocking state of disrepair. Was there ever a baseball player who, in December, wasn't going to be in "better shape than ever" in the coming year? The mikado denies the authorship of the poems that were recently attributed to him. And they were pretty good poems, too. The Palajones are on the war path in Samar. This is the first outbreak that has occurred in the Jones family for over forty years. That last year's calendar may not be altogether useless, after all. You may need it to figure up how long your note has yet to run. They are always talking about lambs in Wall street, but our experience is that the lamb there is mighty tough. -Indianapolis Sentinel.

The Industrial Situation is Regarded as Very Grave. Now Threatens to Affect Big Cotton Mills — Socialist Leaders Are Endeavoring to Convert Strike Into Vast Political Demonstration. St. Petersburg, Jan. 19.—Early yesterday the employees of the Neva Shipbuilding Works decided to support the strikers of the Putloff and Franco-Russian works. Subsequently 12,000 of the men of the Neva works informed their managers that they had gone out on a general strike. The situation is regarded as threatening. The strike at the Neva works involves the suspension of the construction of submarine boats of the protector type which was being carried out under the supervision of an American engineer and also the work on two ocean-going vessels similar to those of the volunteer fleet and several gunboats and torpedo boats, beached and unburied, urgently required for naval and military purposes. The completion of the gunboats and torpedo boats had been ordered within two months. Large forces of military and police have been sent to the works. It is feared that the men employed at the bunkhoff steel works will join the volunteers to build 20,000 to the ranks of the strikers. St. Petersburg, Jan. 19.—The strike situation is becoming very grave. Today there are 58,000 men out on a strike and the movement is spreading to the big cotton mills, which employ over 50,000 operators. Meetings have been called for today, at which the government's headquarters will use their utmost endeavors to convert the strike into a vast political demonstration, which at the present crisis, might have most serious developments. The authorities are adopting every precaution to avoid an outbreak, but the socialistic democrats are spurring on the strikers, and the police are trying to work with the troops which would be almost sure to be followed by red flag demonstrations, accompanied by great bloodshed. The city is full of sensational rumors and rioting is generally expected. In conjunction with the Epiphany celebration, which will occur on January 21, the police will make the day a critical one for the police. Thus far, however, the strike has preserved a purely economic aspect. The great industrial quarter of St. Petersburg, which is the pride of modern Russia, presents the appearance of an armed camp, with factories are surrounded by workers and women seized in an infantry march about the snow covered plains. The strikers are led by a priest named Gopon, who is idolized by the workmen and who represents them in negotiations with their employers. This is the first great strike in northern Russia. Hitherto the workmen have been unorganized, and previous strikes in St. Petersburg have not involved more than 10,000 men. The strike leaders claim to have funds enough to hold out for a month, but this is doubted, and the lack of money and the privations of winter and perhaps government interference, are exasperating the strike against the strike chief and sharp. The strikers, who at first declined the financial support by the socialistic democrats of Moscow on the ground that they wished to sharply differentiate the walkout from a political movement, are reported to have accepted the Moscow contribution. The strike has an important bearing on the war in the far east, as the government contracts with the works means the loss of precious time in the starting of the Third Pacific soundron. JAPANESE INTERCEPT COSSACKS. Brisk Engagement is Reported With Marcadores St. Petersburg, Jan. 18.—General Kuropatkin telegraphing to Emperor Nicholas, reported an attempt of a strong Japanese detachment of infantry, cavalry and artillery to cut off the column of General Mistchenko's cavalry January 14, as the latter was about to retrear northward. The Japanese under cover of a mist outfanned the column, having been killed by Russian artillery inflicting heavy losses on the Japanese at short range and then retiring. The Russian losses were five officers and forty men killed or wounded. General Kuropatkin also reported the return of a Russian patrol after blinding the enemy and destroying a mile of telegraph two miles north of Tatekhelio. JAPANESE TAKE A PRIZE British Steamer is Overhauled On Way to Vladivostok. Tokio, Jan. 19.—The Japanese captured the British steamer Bawry in Ten straits yesterday morning.

The capture of another steamer is reported, but no details have been received.

"A Japanese detachment surrounded the Russian cavalry and Chinese soldiers in the vicinity of Sanchia, west of Kabul, and dispersed them. The Russian casualties were over three hundred. The Japanese captured a quantity of arms. "Lejeutenant General Mistchenkoo the raiders were between five thousand and six thousand strong. After they were defeated at Newchwang they relied to the north, passing Laotienluu. "Japanese cavalry encountered the exhausted Russians in the neighborhood of Laoshoshe on Monday evening, January 16. They report that the Russians were Chinese coats and many of the soldiers were many entirely clothed in Chinese costumes, and entirely wearing pigtail queues." TO DECIDE FATE OF ADANS. Joint Committee of 27 Members Ap- painted Denver, Colo., Jan. 15.—The committee of twenty-seven, nine senators and eighteen representatives, to which the general assembly delegated the power to hear the gubernatorial contest between former Governor James H. Peabody, republican, and Governor Alva Adams, democrat, met yesterday to begin the inquiry which must be concluded by March 1. Representatives William H. Griffith of Cripple Creek is chairman of the committee, which is composed of eighteen republicans and nine democrats. The committee will submit the contest to a committee instead of hearing it in joint session of the two houses was opposed by all the democratic members of the legislature and three republican members, who contended that the plan adopted was unconstitutional. A noticeable feature of the contest is the fact that Governor Adams' leading attorney, Judge Julius B. Els, a Democrat, submitted the contest for Waldron, who is conducting the contest for Mr. Peabody, has been associated with the democratic party previous to this year. FOLK OUSTS LOBBYISTS. Must Give Notice Upon Arrival and Go After Thirty Hours. Jefferson City, Mo., Jan. 20.—Governor Folk has applied a heavy boot to the lobbyists and corporation chenchmen who heretofore have brazier crowded the corridors and chambers; they are packing their tools, actually the laws after thirty hours of grace. The following rules have been adopted by the governor and called to the attention of lobbyists: "On arrival in Jefferson City, or as soon thereafter as possible, any professional lobbyists must report his or her activities, issuing himself at the governor's office." "Such lobbyists must state to the governor the object of their visit." "A report must be made to newspaper representatives, the same as that made to the governor. "A thirty-hour limit is placed on the lobbyists' stay in the city." A bludgeon covered with spikes is held over the heads of the lobbyists by the executive in the fact that if the corporation retainers refuse to submit, investigations could be started that might not be relished. With the advent of the new regime another amazing thing has come up: the good hard cash for their railroad fares, and the old system of passes and free transportation, half rates and freight franks apparently have become a thing of the past. TEXTILE WORKERS AT WORK Thousands Returned to the Factory at Fall River Fall River, Mass., Jan. 20—The thousands of operatives who have been idle for nearly six months as the result of the great textile strike, returned to work yesterday. All the operatives appeared confident that conditions would be greatly improved and that the company reached yesterday between the manufacturers and the union leaders through the efforts of Governor Douglas. Although the 12 1-2 per cent reduction, on account of which the strike was inaugurated, went into effect with the returning strikers to work, the governor's arbitration of the question of the margin of profit for the manufacturer between the price of raw cotton and that of the finished goods would bring about a higher scale of wages in the near future. 207,000 Miners in Germany Strike. Essen, Germany, Jan. 20.—About 207,000 out of the 268,000 miners in the Rhine country. are now out on strike.

Boisterous crowds of strikers in several places have been dispersed by mounted police who used their sabres and blank cartridges. Wisconsin Is with Roosevelt.

PROVES GREAT POWER When Regular Medical Treatment Failed, Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Cured Her Rheumatism. Hundreds of people afflicted with rheumatism have spent years under the care of excellent physicians in vain. Thus they have settled down to the conviction that it is fastened on them for life. Mrs. Dinmose was not willing to join the ranks of the hopeless merely because her doctor did not know how to help her. Here is her story. The hospice I suffered greatly with rheumatism in my hands and knees. After I had been sitting a while my limbs seemed so heavy I could hardly walk on the first attempt. So long as I bept moving I was all right, but just as soon as I stopped, something seemed to settle in my knees and make them ache. My hands were so bad I couldn't touch the palms of them on a flat surface; they were swollen and pained so." "Did you call in a physician?" "I do doctorally tried for over a year; then one doctor said: 'You have taken medicine strong enough to kill almost anything.' Still, it did not kill me nor the rhamnatum." "How, then, did you get rid of it?" "At different times I had read in various publications about Dr. Williams' wonderful Pink Pills for Pale People, and I finally decided to try them. I took them steadily for four months in accordance with the directions. By that time I was completely cured." "Have you been free from it ever since?" "Since then I have had but one slight increase, a noob, or a box or two of the same pills made me all right again." M. F. A. Diamore lives in hearty enjoyment of her recovered health at Woburn, Mass., entirely freed from the grave anxieties that rheumatism always brings. When it appears in but a single joint it shows that the blood is in a faulty state in the whole body. It may at any moment break out elsewhere, and one of the dangers is that it may break out in the joints. The only security is to keep the blood all the time in a perfectly sound condition. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills make healthy body cells other relief is supernatural. This is thorough. These pills are sold by all druggists. Pratee keeps a woman young and a man—deed broke.

ATTEMPT ON LIFE OF CZAR INVESTIGATION BEING MADE Official Explanation of Incident Generally Scoffed at—Charge of Grape shot Swept Across Neva into Winter Palace During Sacred Ceremony. St. Petersburg, January 20.—The ceremony of the blessing of the waters this year was accompanied by an event more mysterious, unprecedented and extraordinary than any afforded by the annals of Russian history. For a Russian sovereign to fall by the hand of an assassin is no new thing in Russian records, but that the emperor should narrowly escape death by a shot from his own artillery, while he rites, surrounded by priests of his church, is so difficult to realize as to be almost incredible. Yet this is what happened yesterday, and the Russian public is left wondering and mystified. By the merest chance the imperial family escaped unhurt, but the stunner is stunned by what might have been the tragic results of the affair. It is now stated in official circles that the grape was fired from one of the guns of the sewered batteries of the First horse artillery of the guard, the crack corps of the Russian army, the gun practice on Tuesday as loaded shell was inadvertently left in the gun. The festival of the Epiphany, the blessing of the waters, had just concluded at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon, when simultaneously with the salute fired from the St. Peter and St. Paul fortress, a rain of grape snot swept over the little chapel built over the frozen Neva in front of the Nebulae and every member of the Roman-aff family were participating in the service. The missiles went high, entering the windows of the splendid row of saloons along the water front, from which the empress, the ladies of the court and the members of the diplomatic corps, including Ambassador McCormick, Secretary Eddy and Secretary Strelitzi and all the high diplomatic corps of the state army and navy were witnessing the glittering spectacle below. Fortunately the shot passed over the heads of all present, striking the opposite wall and clattering down on the parquetted floors of the white salon. The first impression of those who were there was due to the falling crystals from the glass chandeliers and caused by concession from the booming guns. Everybody had been laboring under a more or less nervous strain because of the strike situation, and when the truth was realized the whim was hastily vacated and the greatest excitement reigned within the palace. It cannot be said definitely whether the affair was an accident or the result of design. The general belief is that a widespread plot did not exist, but evidences of design are so apparent that the statement attributing the presence of a loaded shell to previous target practice so violated smiles as many bolt holes. It is pointless as to what the gun that the gun had not been cleaned for two days, and it is impossible that a second cartridge could have been inserted for saluting purposes behind the first; and it is certainly a startling coincidence that the gun containing this missile should have been trained directly on the imperial chapel. Whatever may be the solution, it is a strange fact that the shot where was statueed, the explode, the artillery of the guard, the premier artillery organization of the empire and one of the most noted regiments in the whole Russian service. St. Petersburg, Jan. 20.—The Associated Press obtained the following statement from the police at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon: "With the second or third shot from the Bourse battery on Basil island a very large number of shrapnel bullets entered the interior where the emperor was standing. The bullets had a very low velocity. The two which entered the chapel fell harmlessly to the floor. Several policemen about the chapel were struck. With the exception of one man, named Romanoff, who was severely wounded, they all escaped with contusions. An inquiry by the police and the Bergius Michaelovitch, Inspector general of artillery it. It has not yet been established whether it was an accident or was due to premeditation." Russla Makes Reprisals.

MIGHT HAVE SAVED IT A Lot of Trouble from Too Much Starchy Food. A little boy of eight years whose parents did not feed him on the right kind of food, was always nervous and suffered from a weak condition of the stomach and bowels. Finally he was taken down with appendicitis and after the operation the doctor, knowing that his intestinal digestion was very weak, put him on Grape Nuts a day. He easily recovered and about two months thereafter, his Father states, "He has grown to be strong, muscular, and sleeps soundly, weighs 65 pounds, and his whole system is in a one condition of health." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. It is plain that if he had been put on Grape Nuts at an earlier period in his life, and kept from the use of foods that he could not digest, he never would have had appendicitis. That disease is caused by undigested food decaying in the stomach and bowels, causing irritation and making for the sickness. The kinds of microbes, ting up in the digestive system, is the active cause of appendicitis, and this is more marked with people who do not properly digest white bread. Grape Nuts is made of the selected parts of wheat and barley and by the peculiar processes of the cooking at the factory, all of the starch is turned into sugar ready for immediate digestion and the more perfect mortarment of all parts of the body, particularly the brain and nerve centers.
