EDITORIALS. WILLIAM McKINLEY. There comes a time in the onward march of civilization when nations and races will celebrate their natal day of their heroes, when learned men will eulogize and tell of their great deeds performed. Therefore within the next thirty days we will attempt to give a brief history and work of the four greatest American statesmen that our country has yet produced. Last Sunday January 29, sixty-five years ago, was born in Niles, Ohio on his father's farm, William McKinley, Jr., who was loved honored and respected by more people perhaps than any other president at the time of his assassination in Buffalo, N. Y., on that memorable day. Humbolt said "The finest fruit earth holds up to its maker is a finished man," such was the character of McKinley. He was pure, honest, true, noble and a Christian man; always seeking those higher ideals of life. As a lawyer he was honest, as a congressman he was true to his constituents, as a governor he was pure and free from all temptations, as a president he was an ideal christian ruler, faithful to every public trust and thoughtful to home duties. The good deeds he left will live and be cheerished by succeeding generation; for good deeds are based on truth and justice. Thus we see this great statesman and true type of manhood, born in poverty and reared in the school of experience, until he became the leader of men, races and nations, and as his life went out in the zenith of his splendor he died a christian with love for all and malace toward none. His last words were "good by all, good by, it is God's way, His will be done not ours." MRS. GEO. H. WHITE DEAD. We are sorry to announce the death of Mrs. Geo. H. White, the wife of Ex-Congressman Geo. H. White, of Newberne, N. C. She died at her present home, 1814 Eighteenth street N. W., Washington, D. C., Thursday Jan. 19, ult. Services were conducted at her Washington residence, after which the remains were taken to Newberne, N. C. for interment. Mrs. White was a lady of refinement and possessed rare musical talent and was a teacher 18 years prior to her marriage. She was the daughter of Hon. Henry C.. Cherry of North Carolina. She leaves besides her husband one daughter, Miss Mary A., who is a student in Oberlin, and Geo. H. Jr., 11 years old. NEW PAPER FOR COLORED CATHOLICS. The Colored Catholic Herald, a new journal, entered the turbulent seal last week. It is to be published in the interest of the colored Catholics in America. The editor is Augustine Joseph McNorton, a young man of literary attainments and a graduate of the St. Joseph's Seminary of Baltimore. Edward E. Cooper, formerly the publisher of the Colored American, is the business manager. The latter paper is merged into the Herald. The BYSTANDER extends to the Catholic Herald a welcome hand. Its headquarters is in Washington, D. C. Gus Morris.. Dealer in Coal, Hay, Feed & Straw Iowa Phone 697-J Iowa Phone 697-J.

Mr. Clarence Miller spent Saturday and Sunday in Des Moines and Colafx. Rev. S. S. Birt of Boone, Iowa, was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Robt. Manly last week. Newton and Colafx will have a joint discussion at the A. M. E. church February 4, 1906. Good singing and instrumental music will be rendered, after which the ladies will serve refreshments. All are cordially invited to them. Mr. Walker Walden is not at all in good health this week. Mrs. John Miller and daughter Florence are in Grinnell this week, the guests of Mr. John Spencer and family. We are glad to see the interest manifested in our Sunday school. Mrs. Eliza Pillow of North Linn street had a sad accident occur last Thursday, January 26, at 2 o'clock. While she was ironing at her home her house caught fire and was unnoticed until she went out of doors. No one saw the fire until too late. She was alone at the time and happened to go out to get a bucket of water and beheld her house afire. She called for help and all that could be done was done by friends and neighbors, but alas it was too far away her department did not reach the place in time enough to save the house. A good deal of the furniture and other articles of value were saved but all upstairs was lost. A defective flue was the cause. There was no insurance. Mrs. Gee. Harrison of Colfax was the guest of Rev. and Mrs. Manly a few days this week. HAPPENINGS ABOUT CLINTON. Those who are on the sick list are recuperating. Edward Moreland of Davenport is visiting in Clinton indefinitely. A merry crowd number 16 persons wended their way to Fulton on Saturday evening, their destination being the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Mitchell, where they hoped to assist the hostess in celebrating her birthday anniversary. The evening was spent with music and numerous games and during the evening refreshments were served in three courses. At a bar our dinettes returned to their homes, pleased with the events of the evening. Mahara's colored minstrels will hold the boards at Clinton Monday night. Our people will no doubt be well represented. As yet we have not heard from the delinquent subscribers. Remember your account is growing while you sleep. It is rumored the presiding elder expects to hold quarterly meeting about February 26. So far none has been held this conference year. SUPERIOR, WIS., BUDGETARIAN. Notwithstanding the severe cold days we've had, the lake is not froze over yet, the bay is frozen 16 inches thick. Messrs. Wilis and Ogiesby had a small fire at their residence Monday afternoon, originating from a defective flue. The damage amounted to $60.00, fully covered by insurance. The prayer meetings which are being held at the residence of Mrs. Lawrence each Friday evening, are seemingly of much benefit to those who attend. We trust much good may be accomplished by them. Rev. Wade has been invited into the K. of P. Lodge of Duluth. Mr. and Mrs. Alex Odham entertained Rev. Wade and wife and Miss Opal at dinner last Tuesday. Mr. Wills is learning the hair dressing trade under Madam Thompson, our popular hair dresser. One of our recent brides of three months has left for parts unknown, without a farewell parting. We wonder if the groom knows her whereabouts. At the Light House Literary Tuesday evening, each member will relate some story of their childhood days. Refreshments will be served. The meeting will be at the parisage as usual. Mr. Wm, Woojson has an excellent patronage in his restaurant business. Quarterly meeting at the A. M. E. church Sunday, Jan 29. Presiding Eldr Thompson was present an a glorious meeting was had. Mr. Albert Jones is one of our most successful barbers. He runs an equal rights shop, and is a non-union man, and has as good a trade as any. Prayer meeting will be held this week at Mrs. Foggs. A large number attended services at at the A. M. E. churon Sunday evening. Several were over from Duluth. Bev. Wade was a Duluth visitor Monday. Williams & Walker's show in Duluth Saturday might drew a large number of Superiorites out. Mrs. Alex Oldham entertained Revs. H. H. Thompson, Geo. H. Wade and Mrs. Wade at tea Friday evening. A few features stand out prominently in Review of Reviews table of contents for February; the editorial treatment of the Russian situation up to and including the outbreak of January 22 at St. Petersburg; the review of the Russo-Japanese war, apropos of the fail of Port Arthur and the close of a full year of hostilities; the discussion of the Panama Canal problems by Minister John Barrett; the article on "Theodore Thomas and the Development of American Music," by W. J. Henderson; "Street Railway Fares in the United States," by Edward Dana Durand; "The Industrial and Commercial Outlook in Venezuela," by G. M. L. Brown; "Baltimore One Year After the Fire," by Day Allen Wiley; "Manhattan Bridge: A Lesson in Municipal Esthetics," by G. W. Harris "The Japanese Art of Jiu Jitsu," by H. Irving Hancock; "What Justifies Intervention in Wart?" by Amos S. Hershay; "General Stossel: Russian Defender of Port Arthur;" and "What the People Read in scandinavia." There is the usual comment on topics of the day in "The Progress of the World," and the department of "Leading Articles of the Month." Japanese Would Find It Hard to Get Along Without It. The Japanese use paper at every moment. The string with which a deft-handed "darling of the gods" does up the articles you buy is made of paper. The handkerchief (throw away after use) is paper, the partitions dividing the houses are paper and the pane through which an indiscreet eye looks at you is paper! The pane is certainly wanting in transpency, but there is a simple remedy. One finger is passed through the paper—that is all! Afterward a small piece is stuck on the opening with a grain of rice. The men's hats, the cloak of the porter who carries his burden, sing ing a cadence, through the rain; the garment of the boatman who conducts you on board, the tobacco pouch, cigar case—all are paper! Those elegant flowers ornamenting the beautiful ha of the Japanese ladies, and the robe collars which are taken for cra—paper! NO CAUSE FOR GRATITUDE. And Sturdy Scotchman Gave No L Service to Hla Maker. The following example of a quality philosophical Scotch character is related in the Scottish American; The season had been an exceptionally bad one for farming, but in a church not far from Arboreth the officials had resolved, according to custom, to hold the annual harvest thanksgiving service. It was noticed that on that particular occasion Mr. Johnstone, a regular attendant and pillar of the church (whose crops had miserably failed), was not in attendance. The minister in the course of the following wee met Mr. Johnstone and inquired of him the reason of his absence from church on such an important occasion "Weel, s," relied Mr. Johnstone, "I dinnar care aboot approachin' my Maker in a speerit 'sarcasm." Ambassador Bearded Czar. Amassador Bearded Czar. Sir Jerome Bowes, Queen Elizabeth's ambassador to Ivan the Terrible, czar of Russia, in 1563, had an exciting time. Ivan had killed his own son a few years earlier in a fit of passion, and was no easy character to deal with. The czar saw fit to disparage the English queen, whom, he declared, "he did not reckon to be his fellow," there being those who wore her betters. Bowes could not stand this sort of thing, and pluckly asserted that his princess was as great as any in Christendom. "What! As great as the emperor of Germany?" demanded Ivan. "Why?" answered Bowes, with a fine assumption of scorn, "such is the greatness of the queen, my mistress, that the king her father had not long since the emperor in his pay in his wars against France. The czar was at first more furious than ever, but in time he took Bowes into his favor. Old Hymns. There's lots of music in 'em—the hymns of long age— And when some gray halred brother sings the ones I use to know, I use a hand! I think of days gone by. "On Jordan's stony banks I stand and cast a wistful cie!" There's a lot of tote in 'em—those dear, sweet hymns of old— With visions of land of light, and street gold; And I hear 'em singing-singing, where memory dreaming stands, "From Greenland's ice mountains to India's coral strands." 'an' so I love the old hymns, and when my time shall come. Before I soften me, and my Cinnamon's son is happy land, where my possessions lie." The Cooking Club Measuring a Wink. How fast can a man wink? One who is interested in this fascinating subject has made experiments in connection with it, and successfully measured the time occupied by the several phases of the movement. He says: "The mean duration of the descent of the lid is seventy-five to ninety-one thousandths of a second. The interval while the eye is shut was in one case only fifteen hundredths of a second. The rising of the lid occupied seventeen hundredths of a second. A specially-arranged photographic apparatus was usd for the experiment." High Prices for Antiques Old furniture collectors in this city have lately been driving prices higher and higher. The rage for Chippendale and Sheraton patterns of the finer lines is greater than ever. Chairs especially fetch astonishing prices. Even dealers are paying in some cases as much as $50 for a single Chippendale chair of rare pattern, though it be out of repair. A collector in this city paid the other day $275 for a Chippendale armchair. Chairs of less unusual pattern are told every day for $40, $50 and $100—New York letter. Chivalry The chivalry of Europe is, in great measure, a product of the Saracen chivalry which entered Europe in two streams flowing through Constantinople and through Spala. The Arab Pony. The Arab is virtually a pony, standing 14.3 hands, oftener under than ever. He is not fast, even at the gub lop; indeed, he is slow. He is a very poor trotter, both as regards speed and action; a bad hack, and cannot walk without continually sticking his toe in the ground. He is totally un fitted for harness and is uncomfortable to rido except at the gallop; this is his natural gait, and in it his movement is free, smooth, delightful and easy—Sporting News. School Teachers Poorly Bald School Teachers Poorly Paid. Austria pays less to teachers than is paid in France, and the Parliament has refused to consider the needs of the teachers. The highest salaries in the empire are paid in Bohemia, where, by placing an extra tax on beer, the government raised enough money to increase the salary of its teachers. The lowest are paid in the districts which once were under the Turkish government. Emulating Her Father At a recent children's party, given on the Hill, the little people were discussing, during refreshment time, what they intended "to be" when they grew up. One little girl announced that she "expected to marry a handsome man," whereupon her partner straightened up and remarked, "And I shall follow my father's example and be a bachelor."—Brooklyn Life. Butterfly Farm Yorkshire possesses a farm for the rearing of moths and butterflies. Half an acre of land has been planted with trees and shrubs for the purpose. In their season the stock of caterpillars is 20,000. From 30,000 to 40,000 preserved insects are kept in reserve, so that butterflies and moths can be supplied irrespective of the time of year. Children Have No Footwear Italian children of the poorer classes can neither hang up their stockings at Christmas nor put their shoes out the window at Twelfth night for the wise men to fill. For when the weather is too cold for them to bare footwe they wear rags bound around their feet for coverings. Belgium Egg Exports Belgium exports annually $6,500,000 worth of eggs. The shipments are almost entirely to England, where the demand is for eggs which run seven and a quarter to the pound. The Mediterranean breeds — Leghorns, Spanish Minorca and Andalusians — are the most popular. Sunday School Enrollment There are within three million of as many persons enrolled in the Sunday schools of this country as in the public schools, there being thirteen million in the former and sixteen million in the latter. The total Sunday school membership throughout the world is twenty-five billion. Split Wood by Machine A machine has been invented which is capable of splitting wood two feet long and eighteen inches thick. It is run by a three horsepower gasoline engine, and consists of a huge knife which works through the knottiest wood at the rate of sixty strokes a minute. Total Output of Books A Brussets expert, M. Paul Otlet, estimates that from the invention of printing, in the middle of the fifteenth century, to January, 1900, 12,163,000 different books have been issued. He also estimates that about 200,000 books are now annually issued. In the Abbey church at St. Albans is a curious echo. The tick of a watch may be heard from one end of the church to the other. In Gloucester cathedral a gallery of octagonal form carries a whisper seventy-five feet across the nave. Be Not Bash in Criticism Beware of rash criticisms, the rough and stringent fruits you condemn may be an autumn or winter pear and that which you picked up beneath the same bough in August may have been only its worm-like wind trees.—Holmes. Bectles Destroy Trees in Germany. In 1873, in Germany, 1,500,000 trees are said to have been destroyed in the Hartz forest alone by two small species of beetles. The larvae burrow beneath the bark and thus cause the injury to the growing trees. Paraguay Cotton Very favorable results have been had so far with the experimental raising of cotton in Paracuay namely, a large yield, a long and fine fiber and great resistance of the plant. Motor Life Boat The first motor life boat built in France has just been launched at the port of La Rochelle. It is worked by petroleum, and is of twelve horse power. Reward for School Children. The German Emperor has given orders that deserving school children shall in future be rewarded by a copy of his majesty's photograph. Highest Price for Tertainment. A copy of Wycliffe's New Testament, which is nearly 500 years old was sold recently in London for $580 Japanese Divorces. The proportion of divorces to marriages in Japan is one to four. Price, Five Cents. South American Countries Have Primitive Burial Customs. Hawana's cemetery is typical of the burying places of all Spanish-American countries. It consists of a wall eight to ten feet thick, honeycombed with niches for the reception of coffins, and surrounding a plot of land which is never used for burial purposes and is usually in a neglected condition. The cemetery is run by the municipal authorities and the niches are rented. The payment required upon the sealing of one of these holes in the wall insures an undisturbed resting place for its contents for three or five years from that time, according to the particular custom of the locality. Then an annual rental must be paid for a period of twenty-five years, at the end of which time the tenant gets a title in perpetuity. But how few ever find a last resting place in one of these niches is shown by the fact that, despite the tremendous increase in population since it was built two or three centuries ago, the cemetery has never been enlarged and there are always plenty of vacancies. Upon default of payment of the rental the bones are raked out of the niche and it is ready for the next occupant. The bones are placed in one corner of the cemetery, and there, at least, they lie undisturbed through the passing of years as the pile constantly grows larger. JUDGED BY HER COOKING Russian Peasant Brides Must Be Proficient in the Culinary Art. Among the Russian peasants a bride's character is judged by the dinner she cooks on her wedding day. When she arrives at her husband's house she has to prepare a meal with her own hands as a test of housekeeping capabilities. If she succeeds in gratifying her guests, it is taken as a proof not only of the young woman's own excellence, but also as a recommendation of her whole family, by whom she was instructed in the culinary art. Speaking of marriages, too, a larger percentage of males marry under the age of 21 in Russia than is any other European country. Thomas Carlyle's Rebuke Thomas Carlyle once took Richard Monckton Milnes to task for not securing government aid for Tennyson. "Richard Milnes," said Carlyle, slowly, withdrawing his pipe from his mouth, "when are you going to get that pension for Alfred Tennyson?" Milnes replied that it was not an easy matter. His constituents, he said, probably knew nothing of Tennyson or his poetry, and might think it a piece of jobbery from which some relative of Milnes was to benefit. "Richard Milnes," replied Carlyle, "on the day of judgment when the Lord asks you why you didn't get that pension for Alfred Tennyson it will not do to lay the blame on your constituents; it is you that will be damned." On the Heights. We boastfully "the mountain" named it: Its streams poured down to feed our tanks. Joyous its top when sunlight flamed it. Twas there was signaled moon's first ray: There fell the farewell kiss of day. And now, far up the mountain side. By winding patats the miller's daughter Akiko and her where rocks defiled And forded streams to water. We nearer to the summit drew, Enchanted with the widening view. Said she: "How near to heaven we seem!" As on the mountain top we rested, "Yo; nearer, darling, than we deem," "Yo; nearer, darling, than we deem," "Welt the same, all earth above," "Welt the same, all earth above," "George Birdseye, in Boston Transcript," "George Birdseye, in Boston Transcript." Nervousness in Animals Cases of death of animals from "nervous upset" are not uncommon, and are found among very different classes of mammals. Last year a couple of otters were caught apparently quite uninjured, on the River Eamont, and sent by train, each in a roomy box. Both died almost immediately after their arrival at their destination. A female elephant at the London Zoo died from the effects of a thunder storm. Some of the larger apes are said to be so affected by capture that they always die within a few days, the system being so upset that they cannot eat. That is why we see only young specimens brought to Europe. He Would Have to Swim. A carpenter in a Scotch village, to oblige the local undertaker, who was ill, went to screw down a coffin lld. The sick man's wife gave him full and particular instructions respecting the task. "Weel," she asked when he returned, "hoo did ye get on?" "Fine," was the reply. "But there was hawf a sovereign in the corpse's hand. What was that for? "Oh," said the lady, "that's a custom some folks he. He's supposed to gie that to the ferryman who rows him o'er the river o'death." "Do ye tell me that? it's a queer warl. But I'm sayin', missus." "Yes?" "I'm feared yon chap will hae to swim." Irregularity in the Punishment Irregularity in the Punishment. There are two boys who manage to be rather unruly in school, and their teacher was so exasperated one day that she ordered them to remain after hours and write their names 1,000 times. She watched them plunge into the task. Some fifteen minutes later one of them grew uneasy and began watching his companion in disgrace. Suddenly the first one burst out with a roar of despair, and, between his sobs, said to the teacher: "Tain't fair mum! His name's Bush and mine's Schluttermeyel!" MR. HAYDEN'S VIEWS GIVES HIS OPINION OF THE BEST TREATMENT FOR PARALYSIS. Declares That Dr. Williams' Pink Pitbite Restored the Use of His Limbs Whose All Other Conditions Failed. The premonitory symptoms of paralysis are: trembling of the hands; sudden loss of power in arms or legs; frequently affecting one whole side of the body; staggering; partial or entire inability to use the fingers; distortion of the features, sometimes an unecrotic tremor; difficulty in speaking. Frequently the first warning is a vague feeling of headache, vertigo and muscular weakness. In a recent interview Mr. W. J. L. Hayden said: "I truly think that Dr. Willim's Pink Pills are a great medicine for they cured me when physicians and other remedies had failed to give me the slightest relief. Too close attention to business brought on an attack of nerveness which finally developed into paralysis. There were times impossible for me to move my hands or to get up from a chair. At other times I had partial control of my limbs, but I was afraid to go far from the house for fear I might suddenly become helpless and have to be carried home. "While I was in this miserable condition, I was stricken with malarial fever and confined to bed for four months. I had the best physicians, but while the doctors were driving the malaria did not actively drive the malaria from my system, and they did not help my paralysis in the least. "I was well nigh despairing when a friend persuaded me to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. When I had finished one box I could see results that encouraged me. My condition kept steadily improving, and when I had taken seven boxes I was cured of paralysis and the malaria was completely driven out of my system. For two years now I have enjoyed the best health of anyone to business in my interruption." Mr. Hayden's home is at No. 232 West 80th street, New York. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have cured many similar cases of paralysis, also locomotor ataxia. They are sold by all drugstores. A treatment so simple, inexpensive and successful should be tried by any sufferer from partial paralysis in any of its stages. In a swell cafe there's many a tip 'twirt the cup and the lip. The quickest way to heat a woman in an argument is to listen and say nothing. Miss Stalmate—"No man who kisses the wine cup can kiss me."

SPREADING THE NEWS BROADCAST. That Dodd's Kidney Pills cured his Diabetes. After long suffering Mr. G. Cleghorn found a permanent relief in the Great American Kidney Remedy. Port Huron, Mich., Jan. 30th.—(Special)—Tortured with drugs and Bladder Disease from which he could apparently be cured. A bricklayer, living at 119 Church St., this city, has found a complete and permanent cure in Dodd's Kidney Pills and in his gratitude he is spreading the news broadcast. "Dodd's Kidney Pills made a man of me," Mr. Cleghorn says. "I was a sufferer from Diabetes and Bladder Disease. I was so bad I could do no work and the pain was something terrible. I could not get anything to help me till I tried Dodd's Kidney Pills. They helped me right from the first and now I am completely cured. I have recommended Dodd's Kidney Pills to all my friends and they have found them all that is claimed for them." Dodd's Kidney Pills cure all Kidney Ills from Backache to Bright's Disease.

IOWA Plenty of people would feel better if they forgot all about their health. Miss Daisy Leiter's titled husband may be a joy forever, but he doesn't look it. An Ohio man burned $10 bills for a pastime. Naturally he now sojourns in an asylum. When the devil can't find any other way to make trouble he has a girl marry a man to reform him. King Peter of Servia is talking about abdicating. He has had the honor. Now he wants to live. The young man who ran away with his mother-in-law, twice his age, must have made a mistake in the dark.

IN THE LAND FRAUD CASES Congressman Binger Hermann Also Included -- Mitchell and Hermann, With Others, Are Accused of Conspiracy to Defraud. Portland, Ore., Feb. 1.—After many days of silence the federal grand jury迟ayed returned three indictments in connection with the investigation into the land fraud, which it is alleged have been perpetrated upon the United States government. The first indictment is against United States Senator John H. Mitchell, S. A. D. Dutter, Binger Hermann, S. A. D. Dutter, Horace G. McKinley, Emma L. Watson, Daniel W. Tarpley, Elbert K. Brown, Nellie Brown, his wife; Henry A. Young, Frank H. Walgamot, Clark E. Lecomis and Salmon B. Ormsby. They are charged with having control of the United States government of public lands located in township 11, south, and range 7, east, by preparing and signing affidavits as to the occupation and settlement of these lands. Senator Mitchell is specifically charged with, at Washington, D. C., and signing affidavits as to the occupation and signing affidavit for Emma L. Watson sign, in which Mrs. Watson untruthfully swore that she was a bona fide satter in a portion of these lands. It also charges that Senator Mitchell prepared unlawfully an affidavit for S. A. D. Dutter to sign, in which Putton had to have sworn that he knew the contents of the Watson affidavit were true. The indictment charges that Mitchell received as compensation for his alleged service the sum of $2,000 paid him by Putter. The indictment goes on to state that in pursuance of the commissioned Station, Michelle Putter to William A. Richards, as the commissioner of the general land office at Washington, stating that Putter was one of the most honorable citizens in the state. The second indictment is against Henry W. Miller, Frank E. Kincart, Matthias Siege and George Lafayette of Medford and that charges but these persons on August 13, 1904, unlawfully conspired to procure 100 other persons to commit perjury by making false oaths that certain lands in the Medford oath district, known as timber and stone lands, were being bought in good faith and not for purpureance. The third indictment falsely sware that they had not contracted to sell these lands, when, in fact, they were buying them on speculation. The third indictment charges Mayor William Davis of Albany, Ore, with having uttered a false affidavit. This is the fourth indictment against Mayor Davis. Portland, Ore, Feb. 1. The federal grand jury late yesterday indicted United States Senator John H. Mitchell on another charge of bribery, and also indicted State Senator George Osborne on a publican politicians and lawyers in this state, on the charge of subornation of perjury. BEEF TRUST IS GIVEN BLACK EYE Washington, Jan. 30.—The supreme court of the United States yesterday decided the case of the United States vs. Swift & Co., known as the beef trust case, charging conspiracy among the packers to fix prices on fresh meats, etc. The opinion was handed down by Justice Holmes and affirmed the decision of the court below which was against the packers. In his opinion Justice Holmes discussed at length the various contentions of the case, disposed of them individually. He admitted that some of the charges were less specific than desirable, but said this was necessarily true on account of the vast extent of the field covered. He added that sufficient evidence had been shown to prove continuous offenses and offenses of such a nature to justify the proceeding. The opinion continues the injunction granted by the court in the man anti-trust law by the lower courts. The opinion was concerned in by all the members of the court. MUST PAY THE PENALTY. Washington, Jan. 31.—The supreme court of the United States denied the application of Machen, Lorenz and Groff for a writ of certiorari in the case against the charging conspiracy to defraud the government in connection with the postoffice department treasury, and to defend the decision of the court of appeals of the District of Columbia finding them guilty as charged. Machen, Lorenz and Groff were sentenced to two years' imprisonment and to pay a fine of $10,000 each.

STORIETTES Howard Paul, the London journalist, describes W. S. Gilbert, of comicpera man, with witty. On one occasion a woman deficient in musical knowledge, but anxious to be the humourful companion, "No, madam," replied Gilbert; "no is decomposing." Jacob Rits told a story illustrating the frightful congestion of the East Village, where different families she said, living or trying to live in a single room, each family being apportioned to a different corner, "they got along all right even at that," said Mr. Rits, "until one of the families took a boarder." Charles Lever, the novelist, had little faith in the sincerity of the claims of Neapolitan beggars. He says that when he throw out a handful of small coins to them, the blind were the first to see it, the paralyzed to run for it, the maimed to pick it up, the naked to put it in their pockets, and the toed to put it in their illuck in being out of the scramble. When the blizzard struck New York The only place in the United States that guarantees freedom from strikes, lockouts and labor warfare is Battle Creek, Mich. The story? The work people, merchants, lawyers, doctors and other citizens became aroused and indignant at the efforts of the labor unions throughout the country to destroy the business of one of our largest industries—the Postmum Cereal Co. L'd, and at the open threats in the official union papers that the entire power of the National and State Federations of Labor was being brought to bear to "punish" the industries of Battle Creek, and particularly the Postmum cereal spruce from the refusal of C. W. Postmum of obey the "orders" of the unions to take the Postmum advertising away from various papers that refused to purchase labor of the labor trust—the unions. Mr. Post was ordered to join the unions in their conspiracy to "ruin" and "put out of business" these publishers who had worked faithfully for him for years and helped build up his business. They had done no wrong, but had found it inconvenient and against their best judgment to buy labor of the labor trust. It seems a rule of the unions to run to ruin the business and not purchase from them upon their own terms. An inkmaker or papermaker who failed to sell ink or paper would have the same reason to order Post to help ruin these publishers. So the peddler in the street might stone you if you refused to buy his apples; the cabman to run over you if you refused to ride with him; the grocer order the manufacturer to discharge certain people because they did not patronize him, and so on to all of this boycott nonsense, in trying to force people to buy, what they do not want. If a man has labor to sell let him sell it at the best price he can get just as he would sell wheat, but he has no right to enlarge that he will obstruct the business, or attempt its ruin or the owner will not purchase of him. The unions have become so tyrannical and arrogant with their despotism that a common citizen who has some time to spare and innocently thinks he has a right to put a little paint on his own house* finds he must have that paint taken off and put on again by "the union" or all sorts of dire things happen to him, his employer is ordered to discharge him, his wife is ordered to take care of him, applies his family followed and insulted and his life made more miserable than that of a black slave before the war. If he drives a nail to repair the house or burn the carpenters "union" hounds him. He takes a pipe wrench to stop a leaking pipe and prevent damage to his property and the plumbers "union" does things to him. He cannot put a little mortar to a loose brick on his chimney or the bricklayers, plasterers or hod man and he carefully eats a loaf of bread that has no "union" label on it the bakers" union proceeds to make life miserable for him. So the white slave is tied hand and foot, unable to lift a hand to better himself or do the needful things, without first obtaining permission from some haughty, ignorant and abusive tyrant of some labor union. It would all seem rather like a comic novel, but people of their freedom; that kind of work will not be permitted long in America. Some smooth managers have built up the labor trust in the last few years, to bring themselves money and power and by managing workmen, have succeeded in making it possible for them to lay down the law in some cities and force workmen and citizens to work, and by enforcing them right and left of their liberties. They have used boycotting, picketing, assaults, dynamiting of property and murder to enforce their orders and rule the people. They have gone far enough to order the President to remove certain citizens from office because the "unions" weren't pleased. That means they propose to make the law of the unions replace the law of the government and the union leaders dominate even the chief Executive. This is a government of and for the people and no organization or trust shall displace it. But the unions try it every now and then, led by desperate men as shown in their defiance of law and support of lawbreakers. The results, crippling of men and even women and children, destruction of property and murder of American citizens during the past two years is perhaps ten times the volume of crime and abuse perpetrated by slave owners during any two years previous to the civil war. We are in a horrible period of lethality and in need ofstand by while our American citizens are abused, crippled and murdered in dozens and hundreds by an organization or trust, having for its purpose city recently, the mayor of Bismarck telegramged Mayor McCileian, telling him of the beautiful weather they were enjoying in the Western States, offering his sympathy, and asking if he would be bound Eastern metropolis. Mayor McCileian replied: "Yes, come and take your informal blizzard back where it belongs." "Now, my dear mother," said an arch deacon, "I will ask you a few questions in your Catechism. Which of you can tell me the two things necessary in baptism? Quito right, water? Water is one thing, and what you think what else is necessary? Well, little girl, what do you say?" Please, sir, a baby," was the reply. A glutton once made a bet that he could eat ten apple-dumplings at one skating, if the other party would pay for the accompanying wine. After the ninth dumpling, however, he declared himself beaten. Sadly he regarded the latter, which still reposed on his plate. Shaking his finger at it, he said: "Ah! If I'd known you'd be left over, I'd have eaten you first." According to Mark Twain's own ac- thrusting what it has to sell (labor) upon us whether or not. Suppose an American in a foreign city should be chased by a mob, caught and beaten unconscious, then he might be poured down his throat, then his ribs kicked in and his face well stamped with iron nailed shoes, murdered because he tried to earn bread for his children. By the Eternal, sir, a fleet of American men of war would assemble there, clear for action and bloody, and kill them, if separation were not made for the blood of one of our citizens. And what answer do we make to the appeals of the hundreds of widows and orphans of those Americans murdered by labor unions? How do we try to protect the thousands of intelligent citizens who, with reason, prefer not to join any labor union and be subject to the tyranny of the heavily paid rulers of the labor trusts? Upon a firm refusal by Mr. Post to join this criminal conspiracy a general boycott was ordered on GrapeNuts and Postum all over the country, which set the good red blood of our ancestors in motion, bringing forth the reply that has no passage into history: We refute it any and all of organized labor to ruin publishers, nor will we discharge any of our trusted employees upon the orders of any labor union. If they can make their boycott effective and sink our ship, we will go down with the captain on the bridge and in command." This set the writers in labor papers crazy and they redoubled their abuse. Finally one of their official organs came out with a large double column in denunciation of Battle Creek, calling it "a running sore on the face of Michigan," because it would not become "organized" and pay in due to their labor leaders. The usual course, the union writers in battle Creek in union writers were indulged in. The result was to weld public sentiment in Battle Creek for protection. A citizens' association was started, and mass meetings held. Good citizens who happened to be members of local unions, in some cases quit the unions entirely for there is small need of them there. The working people of Battle Creek are of the highest order of American mechanics. The majority are not union members, for practically all union members, but they decline to employ union men because of disturbances about eleven years ago, and the union men now in the city are among the best citizens. No city in the state of Michigan pays as high average wages as Battle Creek, no city of its size is as prosperous, and no city has so large a proportion of the best grade of mechanics who own their own homes. So the work people mugged together with the other citizens of the organized City of Battle Creek's area with the following premble and constitution: Whereas, From 1891 to 1894 the strikes instigated by labor unions in Battle Creek resulted in the destruction of property and loss of large sums of money in wages that would have been expended here; and, Whereas, These acts caused serious damage to the city and in a market way delayed its progress at that time; and, Whereas, Since the year 1894 the citizens have been enabled, by public decree, to prevent the recurrences of strikes and labor union disturbances which have been prevalent elsewhere; and. Whereas, The employers of this city have steadfastly refused to place the management of their business under the control of labor unions, but have maintained the highest standard of wages paid under like conditions anywhere in the United States, and hereby unanimously declared their intent to continue such policy; and the employees of this city, a large percentage of them, have labored and educated under conditions of peace and the well-earned prosperity of steady employment, have steadfastly maintained their right as free American citizens to work without the dictation and tyranny of labor union leaders, the bitter experience of the past offering sufficient reason for a determined stand for freedom; and, Whereas, The attitude of the citizens on this subject has been the means of preserving peaceful conditions, of continuous prosperity, in indeed continuous conditions, existing in other cities suffering from the dictation of trades unionism; it is therefore Resolved, That the continuance of peace and prosperity in Battle Creek can be maintained, and the destructive work of outside interference avoided in a combative effort and action of all our forces by the formation of a "Citizen's" Association. CONSTITUTION. Article 1.—Name. Article 2.—Objects. First—Taught. count, he once told to Queen Victoria; "I don't know you personally, but I have met your son. He was at the head of a procession in the Strand and I was on a bus." During a late visit to London, Mark Twain was presented to King Edward, when his majesty greeted him cordially with his name. You remember. It was on the Strand and you were riding on a bus." A Kansas clergyman who prided himself on his precise and scrupulous use of words was praying for elevating grace and renewed working force. "O Lord," he pleaded, "waken Thy cause in the hearts of this congregant, give that the new eyes to and impulse to do. Send down Thy levier or lever, according to Webster or Worcester's dictionary, which ever you use, and pry them into activity." Lieutenant Robert E. Peary spoke at a dinner of the Arctic Society last winter. His talk was on the privations suffered by his party on his last expedition. In the course of his remarks he mentioned the fact that the sole article of diet for thirty days, one of the members of his party, a Dane, was dried bones. Afterward, Lieutenant Peary was approached by a permanent condition of peace, prosperity and steady employment to the people of Battle Creek. Second—To energetically assist in maintaining law and order at all times and under all conditions. Third—To protect its members in their rights to manage their property and to dispose of their labor in a legal, lawful manner without restraint or intimidation. Fourth—To insure and permanently maintain fair, just treatment, one with another, in all the relations of life. Fifth—To preserve the existing right of any capable person to obtain employment and sell his labor, without being obliged to join any particular church, secret society, labor union or any other organization, and to support all such persons in their efforts to resist compulsory methods on the part of any organized body whatsoever. Sixth—To promote among employers a spirit of fairness, friendship and best interest among their employees, and to promote among workmen the spirit of industry, thrift, faithfulness to their employers and good citizenship. Seventh- To so amalgamate the public sentiment of all of the best citizens of Battle Creek, that a guarantee can be given to the world of a continuance of peaceful conditions, and that under such guarantee and protection manufacturers and capitalists can be induced to locate their business enterprises in Battle Creek. They follow articles relating to membership, officers, duties, etc., etc, etc. This constitution has been signed by the great majority of representative citizens, including our workpeople. A number of manufacturers from other cities, where they have been suffering all sorts of indignities, inconvenience and losses from the genital assault, assaults, assaults and other interference, proposed to move, providing they could be guaranteed protection. The subject grew in importance until it has reached a place where absolute protection can be guaranteed by the citizens of Battle Creek on the following broad and evenly balanced terms which guarantees to the workman and to the manufacturer fairness, justice, steady work and regularity of output. The becoming . . . manufacturer agrees to maintain the standard rate of wage placed elsewhere for like service, under similar conditions, the rate to be determined from time to time from well authenticated reports from competing cities. The tabulated wage reports issued by the Government Department of Commerce and Labor can also be used to show the standard rate, and it is expected later on that this government bureau will furnish weekly reports of the labor market from different centers, so that the labor market is made clear of labor and the employer when he is ready to buy, may each have reliable information as to the market or ruling price. The newcoming manufacturer also agrees to maintain the sanitary and hygienic conditions provided for by the state laws and to refrain from any lockouts to reduce wages below the standard, reserving to himself the right to discharge any employee for cause. The Citizens' Association on its part agrees to furnish, in such numbers as it is possible to obtain, first-class workmen who will contract to sell their labor at the standard price for such period as may be fixed upon, agreeing not to strike, pluck, assault or harm the workers properly or do any of the criminal acts committed to labor unionism. Each workman reserving to himself the right to quit work for cause, and the Citizens' Association further pledges its members to use its associated power to enforce the contracts between employer and employee, and to act on masse to uphold the law at all times. The new industries locating in Battle Creek will not start under any sort of labor union domination whatsoever, but will make individual contracts with each employee, those contracts being fair and equitable and guaranteed on both sides. From the perspective of labor unions and their insane efforts to run everyone who does not "obey" has evolved this plan which replaces the old conditions of injustice, lockouts, strikes, violence, loss of money and property, and general industrial warfare, and inaugurates an era of perfect balance and fairness between employer and employ, a steady continuum of industry and consequent prosperity. The entire community pledged by public sentiment and private act to restore to each man his ancient right to freedom and the pursuit of happiness. Other cities will be driven to protect their workpeople, merchants and citizens as well as their industries from the blight of strikes, violence and the losses brought on by labor laborers. a friend who expressed incredulity, "That must have been a great Dane of yours," said he, sneeringly, "Yes, replied the lieutenant, "he was a splendid dog." A juryman who appeared before Sir James Hannen in a London court room recently was in deep mourning and claimed exemption from servi- on on the ground that he was interested in a funeral that day at which he desired to be present. "Oh, certainly, said the courteous judge, and the man went sad-facedly, "do you know who has have eyes, have eyes, have asked the clerk, "No, said Sir James. He is an undertaker," was the reply. President Roosevelt relates a story of a negro minister who, delivering a forceful sermon on the sin of theft, became personal, and said: "I see before me twelve chicken-thieves, including William Sanders." Sanders presented this, and under threats of violence made the presacher promise to retract. This he did on the next Sunday by saying that he wished to be freed from the threat before "What I should have said," concluded, was this: "I see before me eleven chicken-thieves, not including William Sanders." run an umack, by adopting the "Battle Creek plan," but this city offers industrial peace now, with cheap coal and good water, first-class railroad facilities and the best grade of fair, capable and peaceable mechanics known. Details given upon inquiry of the "Secy. of the Citizens' Ass'n." Identification. The public should remember that there are a few labor unions conducted on peaceful lines and in proportion as they are worthy, they have won esteem, for we, as a people, are strongly in sympathy with any right act that has for its purpose better conditions for wage workers. But we do not forget that we seek the good of all and not those alone who belong to some organization, whereas even the lawabiding unions show undeniable evilt and tyranny and oppression when they are involved in the defense of the unions harbor and encourage criminals in their efforts to force a yoke of slavery upon the American people. As a public speaker lately said: "The arrogance of the English King that roused the flery eloquence of Otis, that inspired the immortal declaration of Jefferson, that left Warren dying on the slopes of Bunker Hill, was not more outrageous than the conditions that a closed shop would upon the community. These men burst into rebellion 'when the king did but touch their pockets'. imagine if you can their indignant prosecution sought to prohibit or restrict their employment or deny the conditions under which they should earn their livelihood" and to assault, beat and murder them, blow up their houses and poison their food if they did not submit. The public should also remember that good, true American citizens can be found in the unions and that they deprecate the criminal acts of their fellow members, but they are often in bad company. They hurt sore spots. So, the honest, law-abiding union man is not hurt when the criminals are denounced, but when you hear a union man "holler" because the facts are made public, he has branded himself as either one of the lawbreakers or a sympathizer, and therefore with the mind of the lawbreaker, and likely to be a good opportunity offer. That is one reason employers decline to hire such men. --- A short time ago inquiry came from the union forces to know if Mr. Post would "keep still" if they would call off the boycott on Postum and Grapse-Nuts. This is the reply: "The labor trust has seen fit to try to ruin our business and we must not join the criminal conspiracy. We are all American citizens and differ from the labor union plan in that we do not force people to strike, picket, boycott, assault, blow up property or commit murder. We do not pay thugs $20 to break in the ribs of any man who tries to support his family nor $20 for an eye knocked out. We do show our plain, honest regard for sturdy and independent workmen by paying the highest wages in the state. We have a steady, unvarying respect for the law-abiding, peaceable union man and a most earnest desire to see him gain power enough to purge the unions of their criminal practices, that have brought down upon them the righteous denunciation of a long-suffering and outraged public, but we will not fawn, truckle, benignly kill them. We will obey the slavery, the union label, nor prostrate our American citizenship under "orders" of any labor trust. You offer to remove the restriction on our business and with "union" gold choke the throat and still the voice raised in stern denunciation of the despotism which tramples beneath an iron-shot heel the freedom of our brothers. You would gag us with a silver bar and muffle the appeal to the American power and mutilate the order for brand of the little children whose faithful fathers were beaten to death while stricting to earn food for them. Your boycott may perhaps succeed in throwing our people out of work and driving us from business, but you cannot wrench from us that priceless jewel our fathers fought for and which every true son guards with his life. Therefore, speaking for our workpeople and ourselves, the infamous offer is declined." POSTUM CEREAL CO., LTD. Note by Publisher.

Mr, ‘Laughlin urged from the eridence of the bank's books that Insolvency was fully proved, is estimate of the actual assets of the bank being $180,000, against Nabil es of $190,000, He enumerated the several admissions made by defen? ant to show defewlant’s knowledge of his financial eouciticn, Following Mr, Melatushlin, Hon. . 4. Maxwell of Creston bexua the ar: gument for the ceiense, He defined the relations of a bank to both leet. ers and borrowers, and deseribed Dunning asa man who had the wea. ness of wanting to help everyone who came to him for help, being “seh a man as dovs pot make a good banker oF broker or note shaver.” Former Congressman James P, Filek of Belford made the next ar gument for the defense, and Hon, V, R. MeGinnis of Leon delivered the closing plea for the state, Mr, Fiiek mage an eloquent plea, relating the total Inck of crooked transactions, such as forgery or false entries, and urged Dunning’s long carcer of kindness and helpfulness, Mr. MeGinnis" plea was dispassion- ato but very convincing. He said that Dunning’s assignment proved his Insolveney, ad his sworn statement that the bank was solvent proved his knowledge of tts condition, Mt, Ayr, Feb, 3.—There is an arrest of judgment in the Day Dunning ease until Tuesday, April 18, the motion for a new trial having been taken under advisement by Judge Evans at the request of the defense with the full consent of the prosecution. The motion for a new trial Is based upon a paragraph of the court's In- structions, Judge Evans, in discuss. ing the whole matter from the bench, indieated pretty plainly that the sen: tenco wold be merely a fine, as eight of the ten jurors remaining in town stated in open court that they wished him not to send Mr. Dunning to the penitentiary, Mr. MeGinnls, im his closing argument for the state, admitted that the prosecution aid not hold Mr. Dunning guilty of intentional criminality.

Des Moines, Ia, No. 51908 Clubs and Club ..Women... * Address all communications for these columns to the State Editor, Mrs. Helena Downey, 711 Bashaw street, Ottumwa, Ia. OHIO FEDERATION SONG. Tune, Glory, Glory, Glory, Halleluah. We are a band of women from the National we come. We are marching into battle tho' we've neither life nor drum. The Ohio Federation, lifting others as we climb. Our motto "Deeds not Words." Deeds not words shall be our motto. Deeds not words shall be our motto. Deeds not words shall be our motto. We're "Lifting as we climb." We represent the women who were once denied a place. In the National convention of a highly savored race. Nothing daunted we have struggled and we've made ourselves a place. Our motto, "Deeds not Words." Chorus. Our race must be enlightened, we must earn our daily bread. We must give our time and talent and hungry must be fed. We must root up sin and sadness; planting good and joy instead. Our motto, "Deeds not words." Chorus. All hall the Federation And may others join our band. May the torch that, we have lighted shine in this and every land. I have received two letters recently ose asking, "can a club succeed where the members disagree" and another asks "what constitutes a good club woman?" The first I will answer in this issue and I want the club women to answer the other. Write your idea of a good club woman and let me have it before Feb. 20. HARMONY AS A CLUB ESSENTIAL Harmony is not only a club essential, but is the necessary element of all successful living whether in the individual, the home, the state or nation. For it is asked in the sacred writ "How can two walk together accept they agree?" Nothing worth while can be accomplished without cooperation, and there is little chance of working together for good without harmony. If we love our clubs, we will shield and protect it, from knowledge of, or contact with anything harmful. Only the pure, the sweet, the helpful, the uplifting, do we allow to come near it. What we honestly love we seldom injure. We all know persons, in club and out of them, who go about looking for slights, who make a personal application of every remark or occurrence, who expect to climb upon their club into instant prominence and success, who keep in a constant state of ferment and dissatisfaction. There is another set in our clubs who might be called "disappointed Mrs. Gummidges;" the club is not what they thought it was, they thought it would, help them so much. And every meeting they have yards of disappointed feelings to unroll because they are no farther along than when they joined and they can't see that we are doing anything. Being a member of a club will not bring to you the desired success any more than "being a member of the church will take you to heaven. Success, like the kingdom of God, is within, and you must work it out. A club is a help, if you will work yourself, instead of trying to work the club. The hope for establishing harmony among the many, lies in the harmonizing oneself. Harmony begins at home and if a proper beginning is made it will end well. Where harmony does not reign, let each one, search their own hearts and see if you can find anything like prejudice, injustice, super-sensitiveness, irritability and criticism. If our hearts are calm, we can all say "peace be still" with effect, and it in the stillness that all real growth is made. RECIPROCITY COMMITTEE. It is the duty of the Reciprocity Bureau to acquaint clubs with one another, supplying newly formed clubs with programs constitutions, outlines of study etc., to collect papers and especially on the line of work being taken up by Federation and furnish on application letters of introduction to club members visiting out of the state, to keep a few copies of all minutes, programs, important papers etc., in short to establish itself a bureau of general helpfulness, a storehouse of information. The Reciprocity Committee is working diligently to make this part of the state work a success and every club should see to it that their best papers are sent a matter of local pride and because we should be willing to give to others that which we enjoy ourselves. Many a brilliant paper is tied up this minute at the bottom of some old trunk, because its writer, after she had read it to the club, was not in the way of publishing, and did not know what else to do with it. The chairman of the committee sends out the following: To the club women of Iowa: The Reciprocity Bureau is working diligently, to the end that a large list of papers be placed within the reach of the women of Iowa Federation. We desire to publish a Reciprocity booklet containing a few of the best papers and the list of names of papers. This booklet we want to to print in April, so clubs are requested to select their best papers and send them in by the last of March. We also ask each club to set apart one meeting in February to be known as Reciprocity day; have the members write original papers, select the best and send in. Let all club women lend a hand in increasing our list of club papers. MRS. EMMA GARDNER. Chairman Reciprocity Bureau B. E. B. No. 5, Ottemwa. Topics for study in Household Economics: 1.

How early should children be taught housework? 6. Should boys and girls be taught alike? Why? I wish again to urge club presidents to send in iterations of their work.

He also a mem- ber of North Star Lodge 0, 2. A. F. & A. M. of Des Moines. Read what he says: Centerville, Iowa, Jan. 5, 05. I wish to say that I have never in all my life had such use of my eyes as I have now by wearing Dr. Lew Arnzt's properly ground glasses, and wish to say it was the only thing I ever found in my room from being in. I must say that I have taken all kinds of headache medicine, though got no relief from it; though since I have been wearing glasses I have not been bothered at all with my head. And to whom T. it may concern I wish to say my friends if you are bothered with weak eyes or with the headache, I would advise you to go to Dr. Lew Arntz and he will relieve you of your trouble I will assure you. I was a sufferer of weak eyes for twenty years and did not know what was my trouble until I was advised by a friend of mine to go to Dr. Lew Arntz and which I did and have not been bothered since. B.
