MUTUAL PHONES ROOM 538, 390, 398 Office 1917 Residence 458 Des Moines, Ia --- Every woman who is proud of her home wants to know all that she can about proper and correct methods of furnishing. She will find a most useful article on this score by Esther Singleton on "Furniture of Noted Periods" in "The Twentieth Century Home."

Judge Cole's address was a master peace, with pure diction and clear enunciation, with his storehouse of knowledge and ripe age of experience; he with that polished ease and polite dignity and eloquent address held the audience for nearly one hour. His address was filled with good advice and helpful thoughts to all present. After his address Mr. E. T. Biburnung a beautiful solo; then Prof. Metcalf was introduced.

EDITORIALS. In this weeks issue of the Chicago Broad Ax is an article written by Rev. H. W. Porter of our city, pastor of the Congregational church, in which he condems many of the church laity as well as the ministers, for the vile corrupt and unchristian conduct. It is indeed a very strong and well written article and should be read by all. WORK OF CONGRESS It seems as though President Roosevelt has a big job on hand if he pilot through those great reforms that he favors, or that the platform promises. It is true that the president is invincible, brave, honest and unyealindering. First he has succeeded in having the Senate to confirm Dr. W. D. Crum for collector. Now he is working on the railroad freight bill, giving additional and enlarged power of the Inter State Commerce Commissioners, so that exhorbitant freight rates may not be charged. Then there comes the tariff revision or a modification of the old Dingley bill. Many of the older Republicans do not wish a revision; they are called stand-patters, while the aggressive, active and helpful Republican leaders think now is the best time while the friends of the protection is in control, to do something and not wait until the country becomes worked up over our inactiveness. Yet there are many congressmen who are connected or obligated to those corporate and trust interest who are opposed to revision, hence the struggle in our own party. Then the question of disfranchisement and reducing the Southern representation because they have disfranchised the Negro; the great Isthmain canal question and numerous other questions that will require a great deal of tact and labor before they will be settled. ONWARD MARCH OF POLITICAL REFORMATION A retrospect of the last general election show that the individual voters are becoming more independent and less clinging to strict party lines. It shows that the voter is reading and thinking for himself, so that now he is better prepared to judge and exercise his own franchise. The common people and laboring manses are fast knowing their true friends and are putting them in power. An example is in Wisconsin when the railroad and corporate interest of the state, which had dictated the affairs for years, was overthrown by the common people, led by Robert M. Le Follett, who was elected governor for the third time, and this week was elected to a seat in the U. S. Senate to succeed Quarles: then the newly elected Governor Chas. N. Deenan, who defeated the railroad candidate, by the aid of Gov. Yates. In Missouri the independent voter showed what can be done if the people will only read and think for themselves. The newly elected officers of Missouri will inaugurate many needful changes. In Iowa and Minnesota the people unloaded themselves of the railroad and corporate influences under the leadership of Gov. A. B. Cummins and Gov. Van Sant. After all it is safe to believe that the masses of common people mean to do right so far as they know. Notice of Dissolution. Notice is hereby given that at the regular annual meeting of the stockholders of the Eagle Coal Company, held on the first Monday in December, 1904, that a resolution was adopted by the unanimous vote of all of the out standing stock, dissolving said corporation the Eagle Coal Company, said dissolution to be in full force and effect from and after publication of notice, as required by law, EAGLE COAL COMPANY.

Dubuque at present has a small The Delineator for February, with a beautiful art cover and a varied table of contents, is a most attractive number. As a special feature, Lionel S. Mapleson gives an account of Grand Opera on its travels, a paper that is full of humor as well as of genuine interest and is strikingly illustrated. The romance of Chopin and the beautiful Countess Delpine Potocka is charmingly related by Gustav Kobbe in the "Composers Series," and in an interesting paper Allan Sutherland tells something of the origin and romance of Henry Francis Lyte, "Abide With Me." There are also good stories by Maro Stewart Cutting, Anne O'Hagan and Owen Oliver, in addition to the children's corner, which includes one of L. Frank Baum's "Animal Fairy Tales" and a "Riley Rabbit" story by Grace MacGowan Cook. Some of the early Spring styles are shown, and of further interest to the women is the chapter on "The Making of a Housewife," containing a world of suggestion The department "Good Looks," which discusses the forehead, and Mrs. Theodore W. Birnes's contribution on "The Mistakes of Mothers" are other items especially helpful. Hats Closed, Died and Discharged. Hats at Factor's factory. Hats at Factor's factory. Iowa 9th at.

E. church by the pastor, Rev. P. M. Lewis, all social off airs seem to have been called off or forgotten while we beheld the wonderful manifestation of the power of God in our midst. Notwithstanding the extreme cold weather during some of the time, it has been impossible to properly accommodate the crowds that throughed the church each evening. Such an awakening has not been seen in Cedar Rapids for years. The work is still going on. Miss Ella Martin who has been in Merey hospital for several weeks was brought home last Saturday afternoon; having passed successfully through the surgical operation.

CLINTON HAPPENINGS Clinton experienced a severe cold wave the early part of the week, presumably the drop in temperature was general over this section of the country.

The fires of ambition should result in more hot stuff. Don't waste your time. You will need all before you die. The offender Cupid hits the mark the more Mrs. he makes. A man's idea of a cozy corner is a place where he daren't sit. In the matter of advice it is often well to shake before taking. Even an intellectual feast depends largely on the mental digestion. Misery loves company, but the company doesn't always reciprocate. Always be on time—and you will have to wait for the other fellow. Giving the devil his due proves that there is always the devil to pay. A man may have a large following simply because he doesn't pay his bills. Some people would rather beg than steal, and rather do either than go to work. One swallow doesn't make a summer any more than it quenches a thirst. When it comes to talking a woman can give a man a handicap of a mouthful of hairpin and beat him out. The fellow whose courtship drives him to bankruptcy has no business wondering why marriage is a failure. Congressman Sydney E. Mudd, of Maryland, was approached in one of the House lobbies recently by a Marylander in search of a job. The applicant wanted the congressman's endorsement. "Where do you live?" asked Mr. Mudd. "In Baltimore," replied the applicant, hopefully. "But Baltimore's not in my district" declared Mr. Mudd, edging away. "I know I'm not in your district," replied he seeked for political office, "but I used to live in your district once for almost three months." "Son" said Mr. Mudd, impressively, "there is no past tense in politics—only present and future." A teacher in an uptown school received the following from a complaining parent a few days ago: "Sir: Will you please for the future give my boy some comes to do at nites. This is what he brought home to or three nites ago: if fore gallins of here will fill thirty-to pint bottles, how many pint and half pint bottles will nine gallins fill? Well, we tried and could make nothing of it all, and my boy cried and sed he wouldn't go back without doing it. So I had to go an' buy a nine-gallin keg of hera, which I could ill afford to do, and then we went and borrowed a lot of wine and brandy bottles, besides a few we-had by us. well, we emptied them and bottles and were nineteen, and my boy put it down for an answer. I don't know whether it is rite or not, as we split some in doing it. P. S.-Please let the next one be water, as I am not able to buy any more here." H18 EXPERIENCE TEACHES THEM - Aluminum Dishes Aluminum cooking utensils are being piled by many of the big shops. They are brought out in shapes as attractive as the fine silver, copper and gold lined cooking vessels used in wealthy households. The stew pan, terrapin dishes, coffee urns and teakettles of aluminum have now such beauty of contour and finish that they seem almost more appropriate to the dining-room table than to the kitchen. Expensive Invitations. The latest craze in New York among the very wealthy is an extravagant style of invitation card. Not long ago the wife of a millionaire ordered 200 of these from a local firm and they cost her just $10 each. The cards were made of ivory edged with gold, the name of the guest and hostess being lettered in gold on one side, the other being hand-painted. Cards at each are quite common. Price. Five Cents.

"For fifteen years my scalp and forehead was one mass of scabs, and my body was covered with sore. Words cannot express how I suffered from the hope when a friend told me to get Cuticura. After bathing with Cuticura Soap and applying Cuticura Ointment for three days, my head was as clear as ever, and to my surprise and joy, one cake of soap and one box of ointment made a complete cure in one week, (signed) H.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured by local applications, as they cannot reach the ceased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness by a cochlear hump.

RUSSIANS IN REVOLT Masses Who Ask a Hearing Met By Shower of Bullets. FIFTEEN HUNDRED SHOT DOWN Emperor Refuses to Hear Cry of His Children—Father Gopon Instigator of the Revolt, Leads His Followers into a Hail of Bullets. St. Petersburg, Jan. 23.—With hundreds of men, women and children shot down, one regiment in revolt and barricades building in many streets, yesterday was one of unspeakable horror in St. Petersburg. The strikers Saturday, goaded to desperation by a day of violence, fury and bloodshed, are in a state of open insurrection against the government. A condition almost bordering on civil war exists in the terror-striken Russian capital. The city is under martial law, with Prince Vasilikhkoff as commander of over 50,000 of the emperor's crack guards. Troops bivouacked in the streets last night and at various places on the Nevski prospect, the main thoroughfare of the city. On the island of Vassili Ostrov and in the industrial quarters infuriated men have thrown up barricades, which they are holding. The empress dowager has hastily sought safety at Tsarskoe Selo, where Emperor Nicholas II. is living. Minister of the Interior Svlatopolk-Mirsky presented to his majesty Saturday night the invitation of the workmen to appear at the Winter palace yesterday afternoon and receive their petition, but the emperor's advisers already had taken a decision to show a firm and resolute front, and the emperor's answer to 100,000 workmen trying to make their way to the palace yesterday was a set of rules to force them with rifle, bronze and sabre. The priest, Gopon, the leader and idol of the men, in his golden vestments, holding aloft the cross and marching at the head of thousands of workmen through the Narva gate, escaped a volley which laid low a half hundred persons. The figures of the total number killed or wounded at the Narva gate, at the Moscow gate, at various bridges and islands and at the Winter palace, vary. The best estimate is five hundred, although there are exaggerated figures placing the number as high as five thousand. Many men were accompanied by their wives and children, and in the confusion which left no time for discrimination, the latter shared the fate of the men. The troops, with the exception of a single regiment, which is reported to have thrown down its arms, remained loyal and obeyed orders. But the blood which crimsoned the snow has fired the brains and passions of the strikers and turned women as well as men into wild beasts, and the cry of infuriated populace is for vengeance. The sympathy of the middle classes to the workmen. If Father Gopon, the master mind of the movement, aimed at open revolution, he managed the affair like a genius to break the faith of the people in "the little father," who they were convinced by Father Gopon, would right their wrongs and redress their grievances. The military authorities had a firm grip on every artery in the city. At daybreak, guards, regiments, cavalry and infantry held every bridge across the frozen Neva, the network of canals which intercepted the theater, and the gates leaking from the industrial section, while in the palace square, a storm center, were massed dragon regiments, infantry and Cossacks of the guards. Barred from the bridges and gates, men, women and children crossed the frozen river and canals on the ice by twos and threes, hurrying to the palace square, where they were sure the emperor would be present to hear them. But the street approaches to the square were cleared by volleys and Cossack charges. Men and women, infuriated to frenzy by the loss of loved ones, cursed the soldiers while they retreated. Men harangued the crowds, telling them that the emperor had foiled them and that the time had come to act. Men began to build barricades in the Nevski prospect and at other points, using any material that came to hand and even chopped down telegraph poles. Fighting meantime continued at various places, soldiers volleying and charging the mob. The whole city was in a state of panic. Women were running through the streets seeking lost members of their families. Several barricades were carried by the troops. Towards 8 o'clock in the evening the crowds, exhausted, began to disperse, leaving the military in possession. As they retreated up the Nevski prospect the workmen put out all the lights. The little chapel at the Narva gate was wrecked On the Kaminovost island all the lights were extinguished. Every officer wearing the uniform of the emperor, when found alone, was mobbed. A general was killed on the Nicholas bridge and a dozen officers, were seized, stripped of their epaulets and deprived of their swords. It is rumored that M. Witte will be appointed dictator, but the report is not confirmed. The authorities, while they seem to realize the magnitude of the crisis with which the dynasty and the autocracy are confronted on account of yesterday's events, apparently are paralyzed for the moment. An official statement was promised at midnight, at which hour it was announced that it had been postponed until today. Intense indignation is bound to be aroused all over Russia. The workmen and revolutionists expect news from Moscow and other big centers, where the troops are not of the same class as the guards regiments of St. Petersburg. A member of the emperor's household is quoted as saying yesterday that this conflict will end the war with Izanan and that Russia will have a constitution or Emperor Nicholas will lose his head. The Warsaw and Baltic railroad is reported to have been torn up for a mile and a half, but the damage is said to have been repaired. There are rumors of trouble in Finland and disaffection of the troops. Looks Forward to Change in Form of Government in Russia London, Jan. 26.—The foreign office velves the situation in Russia with alarm. It believes that while the present 'isings will be put down the affair of Sunday at St. Petersburg is certain to bring about a change in the form of government. The Associated Press learns that the foreign office would welcome a government with which it could enter into a treaty similar to the Anglo-French agreement, feeling that a contract with the present regime would be repudiated at will. But fears are entertained of a revolution which might result in international complications. The remarks of War Secretary Arnold-Foster at Corydon when he expressed the sympathy of the people of the United Kingdom with the people of Russia, are exciting considerable comment, coming from a cabinet minister. He seemed to voice the general suspicion that the British government has tired of Russian bureaucracy. Mr. Arnold-Foster also made theounding statement that he would say whether this movement would be like to help or hurt the British nation, but "we must be on guard." The British press as a whole takes a no less gloomy view. The papers have been given up exclusively since Sunday to alarmist reports from Russia, hostile articles and seating editorials on the "massacre," one of the mildest terms used for the affair of Sunday, and the Russian emperor and his government are generally comparer to "beasts at bay." The whole discussion of the question in Russia serves again to reveal the poorly disguised hospitality of the British press to everything Russian. The dispatches to the London papers all report the conditions prevailing in Russia to be worse than the Associated Press accounts. The Russian official figures of the killed and wounded are stigmatized as "ludicorously official." RUSSIAN SAILORS REVOLT. Eight Thousand Men Rise and Attack Their Officers London, Jan. 24.—Special dispatches from Russia to the London papers again bristle with sensational statements. For instance, the correspondent at Kieff of the Express asserts that the naval depots at Sevastopol have been destroyed by a revolutionary outbreak of the sailors of the Black sea fleet, whose lives have been rendered unbearable by overwork and robbery by corrupt officials, and gives circumstantial details of 8,000 of these men rising and attacking their officers and firing and destroying the buildings, while the troops that (according to the story) were summoned to quell the revolt refused to fire at all or fired in the air. Other dispatches report soldiers killed by bomb throwing and raiding of government rifle factories, none of which can be confirmed in any responsible quarter. There is much curiosity as to the intentions of the Imperial family. There are rumors that they are going to the Crimes, Copenhagen, or some other place till the storm has blown over. Ascension to the crown graph's art of Petersburg correspondent, Emperor Nicholas yesterday went to Gatchina. WILL DEFY THE CENSORSHIP. Four Russian Editors Declare Their Intention of Printing Facts St. Petersburg, Jan. 4.—The editors of four newspapers, the Russ, the Viedmostl, the Novostl, and the Grashdanin, declare their intention, as soon as the printers return to work and they are able to resume publication, openly to defy the censorship in the matter of strike news and Sunday's affairs. They drew up a letter to the censor yesterday saying that they felt the gravity of the situation demanded that they print the facts without minimizing or glossing them over. The Novce Vremya and other papers, however, refused to join, and the letter was not sent, but the editors of the four papers named agreed to adopt the course indicated. Father Gopon's message to his followers tonight was: "The czar does not exist. No longer pray for liberty." Moscow, Jan. 25.—The liberal paper Russky Viedomosti has created a sensation, owing to the comment on the official statement of the St. Petersburg shooting. The paper says "This official report does not come from the scene of war; the victims have not fallen on the battlefields of Manchuria nor in a fight with a foreign foe, but in a bloody conflict between the troops and Russian burghers. Arms and slaughter may avail to put down a peaceful demonstration, but force is not powerful enough to quench the aspirations of the Russian heart, ward off the consequences of Sunday's volleys and prevent the movement for liberty and a justly organized government coming in full frustration." ADMIRALTY WORKS BURNED. Government Suffers Great Loss at Seavestopol. Seavestopol, Jan. 24—The admiralty works were burned here yesterday. The fire broke out immediately after the second signal for beginning work was given, at 7 a.m. The flames burst simultaneously from different parts of the works, and the whole building was so quickly involved that men in the modelling department were engulfed by jumping out of the windows. Energetic measures prevented the flames extending to the docks. The fire was under control at 1:30 p.m. The cause of the fire is unknown. "Alf" Vanderbilt Hurt. New York, Jen. 25.—Alfred G.

A GREAT SUFFERER A GREAT SUFFERER LAY HELPLESS AND SPEECHLESS FOR HOURS AT A TIME. Saking Spells, Headaches, Rheumatism, All Caused by Poor Blood-Cured by Dr. Williams' Flak Pills. When Mrs. Williams was asked for some details of the fearful illness from which she had so long suffered, she spoke badly. "Ever since I had nervous prostration, about thirteen years ago, I have had periodical spells of complete exasination. Any excitement or unusual activity would throw me into a state of lifelessness. At the beginning my strength would come back in a moderate time, but the period of weakness kept lengthening until at last I would lie helpless as many as three hours at a stretch." You were under medical treatment, care. "Yes, when I became so bad that I had to give up my homework, in May of 1903, I was being treated for kidney double, and later the doctor thought my difficulties came from change of life. I was not only weak, but I had Iadied feelings, palpitation of the heart, misery of the mind, boredom, rhamnatic pains in the book and hips. The doctor did me so little good that I gave up his treatment, and really cared that my case was incurable." "What saved you from your state of hopelessness?" "In July of 1903 I had a very bad spell, and my husband came in one day with a little book which told of remarkable cures effected by a remedy for the blood and the nerves, Dr. Williams' Pink that was the beginning of my return to health. My appetite grew keen, my food no longer distressed me, my nerves were quieted, and my strength began to revive." "How long did you take this remedy?" "For two months only. At the end of that time I had regained my health and my friends say that I am looking better, that I have one for the past fifteen years." Miss. Lizzie Williams is now living at No. 416 Cedar Street, Quincy, Illinois. She is a nurse at the hospital, euro all diseases that come from my poverished blood.

Mrs. Hannah Elias, colored, of New York, whom suit was brought against by John R. Platt to recover $685,000, and whose money has been tied up in the banks, has won out and is now at liberty to use her money as she pleases. Herschel V. Cashin, colored, who for several years has been receiver of the Land Office at Huntsville, Ala., has retired from service because of the discontinuance of the office.

I., Jan. 16.—The will of Anna Hazard, a member of one of Rhode Island's leading families was offered here for probate today. The estate is valued at upwards of $1,000,000. There were no public bequests. Miss Hazard had given much to charity, beside endowing three beds in the Newport hospital. To James W. Johnson, her old colored coachman, is left $5,000, and to each servant in her employ is left $100 for each full year in her service, and proportionately for any part of a year.

Jan 7.—Major Taylor, the speedy colored bicycle rider, who gave Frank Kramer such a fight for the money and national championship honors for several seasons denies that he will enter sprint racing game abroad the coming season. Robert Coullerie, manager of the Velodrum track in Paris, visited Taylor at his home in Worcester, Mass., recently and submitted a tempting offer for a series of match races with Kramer, the first to be contested at Paris on May 6th. Taylor is taking a course in the Y. M. C. A. auto school in his home town and is very anxious to follow the motor game. become a driver of racing cars and try for some of the records how held by Barney Old field. A prosperous town where no white may may take up his residence and which governed and inhabited exclusively by Negroes, is located on the Fort Smith and Western Railroad on the Creek Nation. It is called Boley, and contains 400 law-abiding Negroes. The place is barely a year old, yet it contains two churches, several large stores and a $5,000 cotton gin owned and controlled exclusively by Negroes. In has a new passenger station, and the railroad company has promised to employ a Negro ticket agent and baggage master there, so that the reputation of the town as being exclusively Negro may be maintained. Opportunity for Treasure Hunter. Nearly one hundred years ago the Jesuits were banished from Mexico, it was known that they had immense boards of gold, but feared to tempt them. What did they do with them? What they did with the bulk of their savings has just been revealed by Pierre Guirre, who says that treasure to the value of over £4,000,000 was buried beneath the old cathedral in the little town of Typozottan, and is believed to be there yet.

Steward expressed the opinion that tigers are not indigenous to India, but came there from more northern regions. The old Sanskrit language has a name for the lion, but none for the tiger. Time to Transplant Trees M. Rocault has found that trees may be transplanted in full foliage in May or June, with little or no injury, if the moving is done at night. This has been demonstrated to the entire saturation of prominent French horticulturists. Pasteboard From Wood. Pasteboard made of 40 per cent peat fibre and 60 per cent wood shavings is a standard product both in Germany and Sweden, being stronger, lighter and cheaper than pasteboard made in the ordinary way. Narrow-Mindedness. It is not until your relation with others is understood that you can successfully plan your own life. For this season the narrow-minded person is a failure—in that he shuts himself out from human nature and life. Less Sisle for Shoemakers' Knives. Sheikh manufacturers note a great falling off in the demand for shoemakers' knives. They attribute this to the saving in shoe leather made by the public use of the "tram care."
