MODISH SPRING MILLINERY "More interesting than that of any other season is the millinery of Spring says The Delimator for April. "While some of the shapes are of the picture type, the preference is perhaps for the small tque or turban and the Continental in its various modifications. Oval and square crowns are both in favor, and quite the newest idea is the oblong crown having a deep crease from the front to the back. The brim of this hat is rolled at the sides and is melon or oval-shaped. This design is pleasantly carried out in the new pliable straw, while it is seen even in tulle and lace wite a long plume sweeping around the crown and fastened near the frond with an ornament or rosette. "Smooth straw braids are extensively used in the smart Spring hats, and chip and Milan are perhaps in higher favor. Lace Milan braids are seen in dressy headgear, and they are adapted to the artistic shapes in vogue. Among the modish colors are blue, brown, butter cew, champagne and green. Brown and green are associated in some of the most attractive examples milliner's art. "Plumes of coq feathers are much used, and they are in all the fashionable colors, as well as in shaded effects, and in white. Quilts are in favor, too, and frequently two will be attached to the rooftop edge of a bat brim by a knot of ribbon, o r fastened by a cockade or buckle. Shaded effects are most popular. Breasts are a modish trimming on hats for ordinary wear, and when associate with the new soft and beautifully colored ribbon, they are most effective. RESINOL ART CALENDAR AND RECORD OF BABY'S DOINGS. The new Resinol Art Calendar for 1005 is one of the most beautiful calendars ever issued. Six sheets of heavy enameled paper containing on one side six beautiful color designs of babies and children, while on the reverse sides are drawings depleting child life, with space for the notation of baby's "sayings and doings."

Hillis addressed the colored mothers' club which was formed some time ago. "Don't feel proud when a white boy comes home from school arm in arm with your boy; remember that only an oneyr white boy will do that and the white boys of best influence will not do it; teach your boys to find their associates among their own color, and the best boys of that color. Don't be ambitions for your sons to become doctors and lawyers, but teach them to do good work in their own sphere—a sphere which may change in time but not in their generation." The above is an extract of Mrs. Hillis' address as it appeared in a little paper called the Standard. This brief extract is, if true as she uttered it, indeed misleading and a very weak statement coming from Mrs. Hillis. In the first place Mrs. Hillis, you are not very patriotic or loyal to our flag, which says that there is no class, caste, or clans in America, but all are born free, equal and endowed with the same inalienable rights. You should teach those boys that it is not a badge of disrespect to go home arm in arm with any of their schoolmates, so long as those boys are honest, good, and have pure character, that should be the test and not color. Then again Mrs. Hillis, you are mistaken when you say that only the oney boy go arm and arm with the colored boy. It is not true. We can name you many instances where the best boys of the schools and colleges have shared the social hospitality of their colored chums. We have known Senators, Congressmen and Governors' sons to do this. The very idea of not taching the boys to be ambitions, to enter the higher professions; but to work in their own sphere. What is their sphere? Who ordained it? We know no sphere for the colored boy any more then for the white boy. The only sphere we know is the one God has given to all alike. We are indeed surprise to read such an article from you. The Associated Press news claims that Hon. Charles W. Anderson, a bright young lawyer of New York, is slated to be appointed internal revenue collector for New York. Mr. Anderson is a staunch, hard working republican and studied law in the office of Colonel Robert G. Ingersoll. We met Mr. Anderson last summer at the republican national convention. He is a representative race man and orator. We wish that he may be successful. MRS. BECKHAM DIED AT THE HOSPITAL. Mrs. Missouri Beckham, a widow woman, died last Tuesday morning at Mercy hospital from cancer of the stomach. Mrs. Beckham was 35 years of age and came here about three years ago with a little 6-year-old-girl, who was her sister's child that she took to raise. Mrs. Beckham came here from Alabama and lived at 521 Chestnut street. She had but few acquaintances here except Mrs. Ira Jones of 318 3rd street, who was a school mate with her. Mrs. Jones did everything in her power to relieve the dying woman's sufferiag. A few days before her death she told her friend that for years she had carried insurance in the Metropolitan company, but was then unable to pay the dues. She asked to have the policy transferred to Mrs. Jones, making her promise to keep it up and after her death use the money on little girl. The remains will be sent back to Alabama for interment, according to request of the deceased; the little girl will be sent back there also. REV. GEO. W. GAINES. Presiding Elder of Iowa District The above cut is a true likeness of Rev. G. W. Gaines, the new Presiding Elder of the A. M. E. church, who was appointed to succeed Rev. J. W. Malone, that good, able and true christian who was so loved by the people of Iowa. Rev Gaines will be here Sunday to conduct Quarterly Conference. The sacramental service will be administered at 11 a. m., all are invited; Rev. Gaines will preach. The reverend was a candidate for bishop several years ago. KANSAS DISGRACE. Within the last two months Kansas has disgraced herself three times. First was when the hotels in one of her towns absolutely refused public accommodation to Prof, Booker T. Washington. Then when the state legislature passed the separate High School law for cities of certain population, and last was when Gov. Hock signed it. Little would one think in this day and age of intelligence that Kansas, where the border ruffin war and many blood scenes in the 60s and the home of John Brown, where he gave most of his labors in behalf of the slave. Oh! if those patrian saints of freedom, justice and equality could rise from their tomb and see the change that their prejudiced ancestors have brought they would sink their hoary heads in shame.

COL ANDERSON GALLS THE CONVENTION FOR APRIL. Settlers of Southwest Will Meet and Give Voice to Contentment and Success to Be Found in This Section. Immediately following the announcement by T. J. Anderson, general passenger agent of the Southern Pacific, Sunset route, that the April convention of the Southwestern Settlers' association would be held at some point in Texas, to be designated later, the following telegram was sent to him at Houston headquarters, and the Business Men's club immediately took active steps to secure the meeting. "T. J. Anderson, general passenger agent, Houston, Tex: Kindly withhold designation of meeting place of Southwestern Settlers' association until you receive proposition and invitation being prepared today by citizens of San Antonio through the Business Men's club. "C. FAHEY." The object of this convention is to get together as many foreign born, Northern and Western settlers, now living in this territory, as possible. Thus an opportunity will be given for them to express, through the proceedings of the meetings, which will extend over several days, their opinion as to the Southwest and its advantages and attractions and the opportunities here offered for additional settlers. The governor and other prominent officials of the State are deeply interested in the project and delegates at large will be appointed in addition to six from each town or district to be appointed by county officials, mayors, boards of trede, and commercial or organizations generally. Proceedings of the meetings will be published in large editions and sent broadcast, which will embrace the opinions and ideas of settlers who have located in the Southwest. In "The Twentieth Century Home" for March George Rutledge Gibson makes a strong plea for state aid for cooking schools. Almost every state in the Union has agricultural schools --- and colleges, and some of them schools in horticulture and forestry, which are common pursuits. But no state or national provision is made for Women to learn how to prepare improved varieties of plant and animal life. The need is obvious. MARSHALLTOWN NEWS Professor Dubois was in the city Wednesday on business. While here he was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. J. Wright.

CORNELL WINS IN CRATORICAL CONTEST THE WINNING ORATION. Awarded First Place By Judges at Mt. Vernon Content. The most unique and tragic figure in history is the American negro. No other race has punged so deeply in despair, or been exalted to such heights of hope; no other race has dazzled by such a flash of promise; no other race has grasped so eagerly the prize, to see its substance turn to ashes. "The bright ideals of the past-physical freedom, political both these, have lightened and excavated till even the last grows dim and overcast." Thus has ended the negro's dream of freedom. Yet not dream of freedom, but of the tired slave and to bring hope to his aching heart—it did more than that; it gave place to knowledge and knowledge of reality, to somehow, find something in this world again to the visions of the past.—But the ground clouded by prejudice; in the center, a weary people, struggling on, their gaze fixed far in the distance, for ever, and that is sleep and stony. But over all, lighting up the dusky faces of the plodders, darling its rays and there, the cords of promise reaching out into the future—Hope shines like the sun. And through it the mess of struggle, Why has the negro failed so miserably in the realization of his ideals? What is the nature of the force that binds him still to the lot of an inferior? It is the gulf between the races—the tides of the world and the times—the fold difference of the reeling with the land. The ages are of course not limited to the land before the Caucasian progress, still stretch before the negro, a vast, unexplored wilderness. Through two centuries of bondage the negro learned to regard slavery as the source of all his woes, freedom as the fount of perfect joy. Emancipation came at last—in a holocaust that was a war of years, years have passed—the system of freedom is still a dream, and the negro rests under the shadow of a great disappointment. That gulf between the races, emancipation could not bridge; the ballet could not span its yawning depths. Standing on its verge, striving with longing eyes to place it in the dark, the blackness of the rock and mysteries, is here a strange vision—a cloud of doubt rises before him, and in it he sees his own soul, "darkly, as through a veil," and in what soil he sees reflected a falnt revelation of inborn power, of a mission all its own. Suddenly, round about him shines a rallness of rare glory. Under its rays doubtly vanished the gulf between the blackness of the rock and the tides of the world. His heart leaps under the inspiration of a great conception. He can never cross that gulf, he can never be white, but he can be himself. And so in half-awakened consciousness he stands trembling upon the threshold of some of the most deep and the most deep time sees and knows himself. And so comes the third ideal that has possessed the neuro race: education. The Logical Outcome. The neural strife of today is the fordered outcome of present day conditions. Two different peoples of varying degrees of culture, the two of whom are the most institutional. The government, laws and educational system of a people and their social and industrial organization, the state and the state of the nation, the cost of lower forms, which keeps pace with the development of a nation; and to be a human being, the development of the expression of the particular stage of civilization attained by that people. Language, laws and institutions are the only means to govern the nation. The human heart has advanced and pinning how far it has advanced and pinning the way onward and upward. And for a nation to be a human being, the development of the expectation to lift a child race up to the plane of civilization occupied by itself in a day or a year, a year of experience, and to fly in the face of law. Liberty is from within; it can only exist as the product of the human heart. The human heart, which holds in the mysterious beauty of crystallization all the good, the noble, and the true that have an African savage, cast him for over two centuries in the mold of slavery, and then, in a way that is the most excellent, the most descendant brilliancy, those radiant hues that can only shine forth from a nature cut, ground, and unstirred by the weight of others—names that stand for all the human heart—are the best of the deep-pierce because many have failed to grasp the new conditions of their suddenly changed world. Already the leaders have seized the issues, and out of the gigantic struggle for race, exist in the most perilous and the most座头看重的. The American, the Hortmann, Morris, Lyons, Dunbar, Booker, Washington and a host of others—names that stand for all the human heart—are the best of the deep-pierce element is already building the foundation for a new, fit, enduring negro race, and even more of their hammers and the new, fit, everlasting negro race. The building of their saws, echoed back from the walls of Tuskegee, Howard, At-치끼, and the Hortmann, Morris, Lyons, Dunbar, Booker, Washington and the feeling soul may count the heart beats as they throb their hope and yearning to the new, fit, everlasting negro race, and every striving for throb for every man and every striving for the human breast. Oh, the negro is human; he is human, and he is the human heart. He is the best of something better which separates him from the beast, and links his heart of desire to the great, overruling Heart. A son of the south, a United States senator, holds up the shrinking form of negro civilization—"more sinned against than sinning"—and in a spirit of derision Price. Five Cents. compares it with the many beauty of our own, then trampling it in the curt, and upon it to instantly arise and prove its fitness, or forever consent to grow in it, to instantiate arise and prove its heart of the north—and a muddin people uphailman, would it ask you, what it would ask you, point to the highest civilization the world of all ages, and compare it with the civilization of an infant race. How old is it? Three centuries. Who fathered it? The proudest blood, the sturdiest sinew of the human body. How old is Freedom. How now comprise it? Americans. How old is the civilization of the world? How now comprise it? A savage. How came he here? In chains. Who now comprise it? New centuries of slavery. Praise. Not Blame. There is that in an immortal soul which desires the highest degree of equality other than the inferior right of every human being to the fullest developer. Possess the power to do that. Do you believe those who looking into the future, imagine a night when two racial giants shall stand face to face on the same stage, the marks of ignorance and degradation the image of the Almighty, stamped in How mean a philosophy? How grow a policy? Close your eyes to it if you grow a mischance or call it Providence, the fact yet remains that the future of the black race is indispassibly linked with the country our county; their growth, our growth; their sin, our sin. Weak, they limit us; disassemble, we disassemble; their ennoble us; virtuous, they ennoble us. Leave the broader plane of human rights, and justification of expedition. The negro race exists today as the test and measure of the country stands as an orphan child trembling before great America's power. With no morent, debased, yet feeling within herself the nobler promptings of a true woman, American principles, in the sight of all the nations, pleading for the right to live, to strive, to hope. Let us then purge races as separate socially as the castes if India, will still give this people every racial identities; not the merging with our ideal, not the merging with our racial identities; not the striving to humility with all that is truly American. Let us remain in all things purely racial "us separate as the fingers"; and yet he hand "us the hand" in all things purely national. When this new century is to have some shape, it not enter into a cleavage of thirty million degraded human beings, into which some so can reach his hand, into which some so can reach the nations, say with the tongue of seorn, Behold an American citizen; nobled, into which our countrymen can reach, and, pointing with one hand to American negro, say to the monarchies of the Old World: Behold the power of American principles.

A well known writer observes that, once you know a woman's age, you know the woman. Which simply shows the fearful most women are about extreining the circle of their acquaintance.

There are four times as many words in the English language as in the French, but young writers always feel that it is necessary to work in a French phrase here and in there in order to make their meaning clear. They say the circus managers are to "cut out" the charis, the gilded charis, this year on account of the cost of transporting them. Well, why not cut out the callope and the elephants and call the parade off altogether? Two prizes have been offered in France, one of $1,000 and the other of $600, to be awarded for the best papers on rational food for man. These must be written in French and handed in before Jan. 1, 2006. Let's see, what's the French for pork and beans? According to a Louisville paper, the economically minded papas of Kentucky are encouraging elopements as being less expensive than formal weddings. This is slightly worse than the Connecticut father, who made his children write small in order to save ink. A fashion authority, talking of spring materials, says that small cooks will be favored. If this means we checks that hubby will have to draw in favor of the dressmakers, why not hold a jubilation meeting? --- FROM MISERY TO HEALTH.

THE TRICKS. Coffee Plays on Some. It hardly pays to laugh before you are certain of facts, for it is sometimes humiliating to think of afterwards. "When I was a young girl I was a lover of coffee but was sick so much the doctor told me to quit and I did but after my marriage my husband begged me to drink it again as he did not think it was the coffee caused the "So I commenced it again and continued "about 6 months until my stomach commenced acting bad and choking as if I had swallowed something the size of an egg. One doctor said it was neuralgia and indigestion. "One day I took a drive with my husband three miles in the country and I drank a cup of coffee for dinner. I thought sure I would die before I got back to town to a doctor. I was drawn to the doctor's office. I husband hitched his horse to get me out into the doctor's office, misery came up in my throat and seemed to shut my breath off entirely, then left all in a flash and went to my heart. The doctor pronounced it nervous heart trouble and when I got home I was so weak I could not sit up. My husband brought my supper to my bedside with a nice cup of hot coffee but I said: 'Take that back, dear, I will never drink another cup of coffee if you gave me everything you are worth, for it is just killing me.' He and the others laughed at me and said: "The idea of coffee killing anybody." "Well, I said, it is nothing else but coffee that is doing it." "In the grocery one day my husband was perused to buy a box of Postum which he brought home and I made it for dinner and we both thought how good it was but said nothing to the bred men and they were so mad that we laughed and told them.

SEES NO HOPE FOR RUSSIAN ARMY English Critics Believe Kuropatkin and His Men Are Doomed. CAN SAVE BUT A REMNANT Mysterious Japanese Army Yet Un-accounted For—Kawamura's Forces Are Expected to Appear and Close Up the Gap. Tokio, March 9—Advices received here indicate that General Kuropatkin is badly beaten in the bloodiest battle of the present war. Tokio, March 9—It is officially announced that the Russians began retreating yesterday morning. The Japanese armies are pursuing them. Makuen, March 10—The Japanese yesterday morning bombarded the bridge at Fu pass, on the Hui river, twelve miles east of Mukden. Russian artillery repelled vigorously. The cannonade lasted an hour. Tokio, March 10—The Japanese has cut the railway north of Mukden. Nüchangw, March 10.—It is reported here that Tie Pass has been invested by the Japanese and that General Kuropatkin, having no alteration in his position, forced to surrender within a week. Nüchangw, March 10.—The Russians have not been reinforced from the direction of Harbin since March 1. General Nogi's army, with a force march of twenty-five miles daily and a total of eighty-five soldiers, General Oku's army, surrounded eighty thousand Russians in the direction of Tie pass and cut off their supplies. The hurrying Japanese armies passed a division of Russians with out giving it any attention until the opposing movement was completed, when the attackers the Russians on all sides. SEE NO HOPE. English Papers Think Kuropatkin's Army Doomed. London, March 10.—In the opinion of English military critics General Kuropatkin's forces are doomed to fall into the hands of all the avenues of possible escapes and the dispositions of the victorious Japanese armies leads to the conclusion that the best he can hope is to save a mere remnant of his army after devoting whole divisions to the war against General Kuropatkin's mysterious unlocated army, which is momentarily expected to complete the closing of the net around the defeated host, in the neighborhood of Kingston, thus blocking the sole remaining to Tie pass through Wakakou pass. The Daily Telegraph in an editorial article well reflecting the general opinion here says: "The greatest battle in the world's history promises to end in the world's greatest military disaster. Even if Kuropatkin has his host from the terrible ring of Ukraine, can Russia hope to send out another army to replein his ranks? The world is being wrested from Russia's fumbling hands. Kuropatkin's disastrous defeat ought to mean the end of the war unless the czar's blindness is incurable and he waits for further sledge hammer blows to fall, inevitable." The correspondent at Toko of the Daily Telegraph on official authority that fully 200,000 Russians are enveloped, and he hears that Russia's central army is almost annihilated. MAY CUT OFF RUSSIAN LEFT. Position of That Portion of Army Is Extremely Critical. St. Petersburg, March 10.—St. Petersburg this morning known little more than the Mukden than it knew Wednesday night and little more of the fate of General Kuropatkin's beaten army. It is not even known whether the railroad has been cut off and communication has been lost, that the report of the destruction of the railroad by General Okut's army refers to the damage inflicted on Wednesday, which was not serious, though traffic was twice interrupted. It is the Japanese are pressing closer to this indispensable means of retreat. The most important news received from Russian sources is the Association Press information that the Japanese already have reached the Hun river. Fu pass is only two miles north of General Lennevich's line of retreat. Whether the extreme Russian left has already succeeded in retreating behind the Hun river and moving down the north bank of that stream to join hands with General Kuropatkin's main force is not stated; but it is essential that Russia and the Russians are able to defend the enemy at Fu pass, General Lennevich's corps and perhaps additional forces will be cut off and have to shift themselves in the mountainous region north of Fushan against expeditionary forces of Japanese which are reported from these sources as being racing toward the Tie river. Tie pass is the word to pass, but it was stated here yesterday that General Kuropatkin had been for some time assembling a force of reserves at Tie pass and Harbin with this eventuality in view, to defend the pass and positions until he can make or fight his way back.

FATE OF NATIONS IN BALANCE Crisis Has Been Reached in Manchuria and 48 Hours Will Tell Tale. KUROPATKIN HAS ONE CHANCE Oyama's Marvelous Strategy Has Driven Russians Back But Worn Out His Men — Chinese Neutrality is Broken. Paris, March 7—The Journal's Mukden correspondent states that Lieutenant General Linevich on Monday repulsed thirteen consecutive Japanese attacks on the Russian center. The correspondent also states that the Russian right wing was unable to stop the Japanese movement northwest of Mukden, where General Kualabs' Siberians oppose General Nogi's Port Arthur veterans. Nichuang, Farch 7—It is reported here that the scouts of General Nogi's and General Kurokits armies are already in touch behind Tie mess. Saketun, March 7—According to reports just received the Japanese have advanced to attack along the whole line. Fighting has been in progress on the right flank of the Russian army near the imperial tomb since morning, but at this hour it seems to be lessening and the roar of artillery indicates that the fighting is moving further and further from Mukden. St. Petersburg, March 7.—The result of the greatest battle of modern times is expected to be determined today or tomorrow. Two of the largest battles in history and guns are now locked in a death struggle and although General Kuropatina to cover his retreat by repression to cover his retreat by removing his accumulated stores and supplies, he is still unable to opinion of military men here that one side or the other cannot escape an overwhelming disaster. With both wings backward Kuropatina's position appears to be desperate, out of control, and of a victory for him is only regarded as possible by his breaking through the enveloping lines and news of a concentrated offensive is hourly awakened and stress Kuropatina can be must lose. Field Marshal Oyama's strategy in this battle is now clear. He startled and amazed the war office by the marvelous daring of General Kurokil's advance against the extreme Russian left and the series of blows delivered at the front. The teen separate attacks have been launched by the imperial guards ice miles cast of Pottilloff Hill. But it is now realized that the heavy blows at the left were intended to mask the real turning movement which came like a bolt from a clear sky out of the Kurokilpattin fell into the tran. The situation seemed an exact duplicate of that at Liangyang and the Russian commander-in-chief hastened to mass forces to meet Kurokil. Friday the whole situation was suddenly reversed when with lightning rapidity the Japanese turning operation began on a battle between the Hun and Liao rivers. In order to succeed Oyama threw the neutrality of China to the winds. General Nogi with his Port Arthur veterans moved up the right bank of the river to the south on the weakened Russian right, doubling it back in confusion, the Japanese advance being co-ordinated with the advance straight west from a Japanese column of 40,000 men which clinched through neutral Chinese territory. Although rumors of the presence of the latter column westward of Mukden were circulated as long ago as Thursday, Kirurathin evidently was not convinced that the Japanese would thus openly fling Chinese neutrality to the winds. At any rate it was not until Saturday night that he was able to shift sufficient reinforcements west from the Japanese within sight of Mukden. But the latest advice are to the effect that the Japanese, exhausted by their tremendous efforts, have everywhere stepped and now if ever Kuropatina's lines are extended over sixty miles while Kuropatina's are constantly contracting. Besides he has the advantage of the offensive of operating in the interior of his lines. Military criticism of his superiority enough superiority to take risks. According to the war office, Oryama has not over 70,000 men in excess of Kuropatina, whose force total about 240,000 men declares that he will himself to be a master of military science and establish a reputation for military genius of the first magnitude. But unless he can completely crush Kuropatina's superiority, Oryama is in imminent danger of having his own left cut off and destroyed. BRIBERY IN COLORADO. Senator R. W. Morgan, Republican, Creates Sensation. Denver, Colo., March 7—Senator R. W. Morgan, Republican, of Boulder county, announced yesterday at the opening of the joint convention of the general assembly that $1,500 had been offered him and $750 had already been given him for his vote for Gov. Alexandria in the contest for the office of Governor. He produced the money which he said he had received and it was handed to District Attorney George M. Slidger. A committee was appointed by the general assembly to investigate the crime. Senator Morgan named James M. Herbert, vice president and general manager of the Colorado Southern railroad, and Postmaster Daniel Sullivan of Cripple Creek, as the men who bribed him. District Attorney Slidger later filed information against Messrs. Herbert and Sullivan in the criminal investigation of the arduity of a member of the legislature. Bonds were immediately furnished. In statements issued later by Mr. Herbert and Mr. Sullivan they alleged that Senator Morgan had solicited a bribe. DERANGED NERVES DISTRESSING TROUBLES LEFT BY ST. VITUS AND GRIP. Woman Afflicted for Years by Strange Spells of Numbness and Weakness Recovers Perfect Health. When she was fourteen years old, Mrs. Ida L. Brown had St. Vitus' dance. She finally got over the most noticeable features of the strange almighty, but was still troubled by very unconfortable sensations, which she recently described as follows: "One hand, half of my face, and half of my tongue would get cold and numb. These feelings would come on, last for about ten minutes, and then go away, several times a day. I would have had the heart, and my strength would get so low that I could hardly breathe. As time went on these spells kept coming offener and growing worse. The numbness would sometimes extend over half my body." "How did you rid of them?" "It seemed for a long time as if I never could get rid of them. It was not until about six years ago that I found a remedy that had virtue enough in it to reach my case. That was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and they have since united with me." "Did it take long to effect a cure?" "No! I hadn't taken the whole of the first box before I saw a great improvement. So I kept on using them, growing better all the time, until I had taken eight boxes and then I was perfectly well, and I have remained in good health ever since with one exception." "What?" "Oh! that was when I had the grip. I was in bed, under the doctor's care, for two weeks. When I got up I had dreadful attacks of dizziness. I had to grasp hold of something or I would fall right down. I was just miserable, and when I saw the doctor was not helping me, I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills again. In a short time they cured me, and I never had ever had any dizzy spines since." Mrs. Brown lives at No. 1705 DeWitt street, Mattoon, Illinois. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are without an equal for the rapid and thorough cure of nervous prostration. They expel the poison left in the system by such diseases as grip and are the best of tonics in all cases of weakness. They are sold by every druggist. Don't expect people to be loyal to you.

Jefferson de Angela's had met in a Chicago club a man who professed a great liking for actors, and who had shown himself to be a pleasant gentleman. The actor was a little surprised a few days later to receive from his new acquaintance a letter to this effect: "I have heard from many sources that your performance in 'Fantana' is excellent. Will you send me two seats for any night next week?" Mr. Angela's made inquiries, and assured that the man was the professor of, perhaps, not many at any rate, of large wealth.

One reason why Peruna has found permanent use in so many homes is that it contains no narcotic of any kind. Peruna is perfectly harmless. It can be used any length of time without acquiring a drug habit. Peruna does not protrude as a result. It is permanent in its effect. It has no bad effect upon the system, and gradually eliminates catarrh by removing the cause of catarrh. There are a multitude of homes where Peruna has been used off and on for twenty years.

After taking the oath of office during the inauguration ceremonies at Washington March 4, President Roosevelt delivered the following speech: My Fellow Citizens: No people on earth have more cause to be thankful than ours, and this is said reverently, in no spirit of boastfulness in our own strength, but with gratitude to the Giver of Good, who has blessed us with the conditions which have enabled us to achieve so large a measure of wellbeing and of happiness. To us as a people it has been granted to lay the foundations of our national life in a new continent. We are the heirs of ages, and yet we have had to pay fees in order that which in old countries are exacted a hard hand of a bygone civilization. We have not been obliged to fight for our existence against any allen race; and yet our life has called for the vigor and effort without which the manlier and harder virtues wither away. Under such conditions it would be our own fault if we failed; and the success which we have had in the past, the success which we confidently believe the future will bring, should cause in us no feeling of valgory, but rather a deep and abiding affection in all which life has offered us. All acknowledgment of the responsibility of ours ours; and a fixed determination to under a free government a mighty people can thrive best, alike as regards the things of the body and the things of the soul. Much has been given to us, and much will rightfully be expected from us. We have duties to others and duties to ourselves; and we can shirk neither. We have become a great nation, forced by the fact of its greatness into relations with the other nations, and we should behave as beesmone a people with such responsibilities. Toward all other nations, large and small, our attitude PRESIDENT PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT. Inaugurated March 4, 1905 must be one of cordial and sincere friendship. We must show not only in our words but in our deeds that we are earnestly desirous of securing their good will by acting toward them in a spirit of joy and generous recognition of all their rights. But justice and generosity in a nation, as in an individual, count most when shown not by the weak but by the strong; when careful to refrain from wronging others, we must be no less insistent that we are not wronged ourselves. We wish peace; but we wish the peace of justice, the peace of righteousness. We wish it because we think it is right and not because we are afraid. No weak nation that acts manfully and justly should ever have cause to fear us, and no strong power should ever be able to single us out as a subject for insolent aggression. Our relations with the other powers of the world are important; but still more important are our relations among ourselves. Such growth in wealth, in population, and in power as this nation has seen during the cen- Thinks "Ben-Hur" is a Ayad A. Ghazali, Egyptian, engaged in the work of the medical department of the University of Cincinnati, has applied to the publishers of "Ben-Hur" permission to translate the work into Arabic. Mr. Ghazali has insulated a number of works, including Spencer's "History of Philos- ophy." It is his opinion that there is need for just such a book as "Ben-Hur" which he describes as "one of the most instructive and interesting books of this age," in the Egyptian church of which he is a member. Royal Women in Feud. The present zarina and the dowager empress do not merely look askance at one another. They have been at open war for years. The latter found it very hard to surrender first place among the women of the empire, but of course had to do so. This was especially irritating to the imperious dowager, inasmuch as the woman who displaced her hates everything in the way of display, cares naught for court intrigue and is almost painfully shy. tury and a quarter of its national life is inevitably accompanied by a like growth in the problems which are ever before every nation that rises to greatness. Power invariably means both responsibility and danger. Our forefathers faced certain perils which we have outgrown. We now face other perils the very same of which we have outgrown, that we that they foreforses. Modern life is both complex and intense, and the tremendous changes wrought by the extraordinary industrial developments of the last half century are felt in every fiber of our social and political being. Never before have men tried so vast and formidable an experiment as that of administering the affairs of a continent under the forms of a democratic republic for our marvellous material well-being, which have developed to a very high degree our energy, self-reliance, and individual initiative, have also brought the care and anxiety inseparable from the accumulation of great wealth in industrial centers. Upon the success of our experiment much depends; not only as regards our welfare, but as regards the welfare of mankind. In the meantime, the government throughout the world will rock to its foundations; and therefore our responsibility is heavy, to ourselves, to the world as it is today, and to the generations yet unborn. There is no good reason why we should fear the future, but there is every reason why we should face it seriously, neither hiding from ourselves the grief the time of our failure nor fearing to approach these problems with the unbending, unfinishing purpose to solve them alright. Yet, after all, though the problems are new, though the tasks set before us differ from the tasks set before our fathers who founded and preserved this republic, the spirit in which these tasks must be undertaken ROOSEVELT. en and these problems faced, if our duty is to be well done, remains essentially unchanged. We know that self-government is difficult. We know that no people needs such high traits of character as that people which seeks to govern its affairs aright through to freeish it all of the freemen who compose it. But we have faith that we shall not prove false to the memories of the men of the mighty past. They did their work, they left us the splendid heritage we now enjoy. We in our turn have an assured confidence that we shall be able to leave this heritage unwasted and enlarged to our children and our children's children. To do so we must show not merely in great cities, but in the countryside, the qualities of practical intelligence, of courage, of hardihood and endurance, and above all the power of devotion to a lofty ideal, which made great the men who founded this republic in the days of Washington, which made great the men who preserved this republic in the days of Abraham Lincoln. my body—practical now. "We live in a practical age," remarked a West Philadelphiaan. "For years I've noticed people who advertise to do practical horse shooting. Now, a Woodland Avenue harber has himself down as a practical hair-cutter. Napoleon always shaved himself. I always thought it proved him either over-suspicious or cewardly; but perhaps it was because those who wielded the razor were not practical in those days. The sign of the practical toothpuller is yet to appear."-Philadelphia Record. Slur on Married Legislators.

"Every last member of that committee is a married man," says the Pennsylvaniaian, "and they are all afraid to report my bilt."

If You Are Woman's Kidney Troubles Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is Especially Successful in Curing This Fatal Disease. Mrs. J. W. Lang and Mrs. S. Frake Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound; a Woman's Remedy for Woman's Ills. Of all the diseases known, with which women are afflicted, kidney disease is the most fatal. In fact, unless the weary patient seldom survives, the weary patient seldom survives. Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham early in her career, gave exhaustive study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for kidney troubles, she gave her children a Vegetable Compound—was careful to see that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman's kidney troncles. In fact, the children were many, many the female system, and while there are many so called remedies for kidney troncles, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for the only disease was the only remedy, and thousands have been cured of serious kidney derangements by it. Derangements of the feminine organs quickly affect the kidneys, and when a woman has such kidney troncles, backache, hearing down pains, urine too frequent scenty or high color, producing scalding or burning, or deposits like brick dust in it; thirst, thirst, thirst, soaking, swelling the eyes or sharp pains in the back running down the inside of her groin, she may be sure her kidneys are affected and should lose no time in combating the disease.

I wrote to Dr. Pierce, and I will never forget this to my instruction faithfully and not to submit to an operation in the months my improvement was as soon as possible from the time I was pleased to tell them of the wonderful means of course and to say many indies applied to me for information regarding Dr. Pierce's world-class treatment. I felt in duty bound to give them the benefits of my experience, so told them the facts of the large number of patients. I was very much so concerned, and, used by my recommendation, seemed, in one year's time, nothing short of a miracle, I could have been so much more than that of the parties and known the facts."

Otumwa, Ia. The Mother and the Teacher. Many mothers watch the departure of the children every morning for school with a sigh of relief, and a feeling that for the greater part of the day their responsibility in regard to them has been transferred to another. There will be no childish disputes to settle, no hurt fingers to bink up, no faults to correct. But the mother's influence can control the home, and if she has the best interests of the children at heart she help the teacher in her efforts to drill and train them for future usefulness. The child should be taught to obey the teacher without a question. In no other way can a teacher maintain the order that is necessary to procure good results from her work. Do not allow the child to be absent without a good excuse. See to it that your children are not tardy. When a child enters the school-room late, every eye is upon them from the time they enter the school until they take their seat, thus diverting all the children's minds from their lessons and greatly annoying the teacher. It is better late than never, but a little effort would have enabled them to be on time in most cases. A loving interest in the daily lessons often proves a strong incentive to earnest work on the child's part. Have the children give an account each day of the per cent received their studies; appear especially glad over their high per cent, and when low encourage them and help them, and you will often spare them the identification of a failure at the examination. Examine the monthly reports and you will soon learn in what studies they excel and in which they are defect. Visit the schools occasionally. If you have time, thereby showing that you have an interest in the work that is being done there. Above all things, remember that a good education is the best legacy you can leave your children, and well worth all its costs to obtain it. AN IDEAL PRESIDENT. In reading the club news in the Iowa State Bystander, I see the Ideal President is to be answered by clubs or club workers. My idea of an ideal president would be a woman whose morals are above reproach in every capacity. A woman who is alive and able to lead, no matter what her religion or background, can all be true and gentle women, though we worship at different altars. An ideal president is a woman who has no pets when it comes to club work; a woman who will treat all her co-workers alike. An ideal president is a woman who has enough stability to do the right thing at the right time and in the right way. An ideal president is a woman who is able to keep up an interest in the grand and noble work that is started among our club women. An ideal president is a call for an energetic and intelligent woman who thoroughly understands this grand work. We all cannot be ideal presidents, but we can help the one whom we honor to be an ideal president. An ideal president is a woman who will always be polite; frank in word; disrect, unaffected, careful and cheerful. She will be slow to promise and sure to perform. Such a woman who rises to a true position in life will be recognized by all her co-workers as an ideal president. 'Let us question the thinkers and doers. And hear what they honestly say. And you'll find they believe, like boil wooers, In where there's a will, there's a WHAT CONSTITUTES A GOOD CLUB WOMAN. A good club woman should be energetic, alive to everything pertaining to the moral, social and intellectual advancement of the club of which she is a member. he powers her interest should emanate from a pure motive. Free from unselfishness. A good club woman will be courteous, kind and agreeable with her associates, always abounding in the work of uplifting our women or "lifting as we climb." A good club woman will not create emunity and strife, but will battle against these bugbears by exerting an influence of love and charity to help and exhibit the virtues of pure womanhood. Mrs. Belle Bannfister. Keokuk, Iowa. A good club woman should be courteous and agreeable to all, free from unselfishness and have an even temperature. The woman whose voice is always controlled in moderation and gentleness even, in times of great stress, whose eyes beam with good will rather than fire, though she be expressing a contrary opinion, is in the end the most powerful woman in the club. She who has ideas, reads, listens, thinks, makes the strong-souled, broad-minded loyal, capable club woman. Mrs. Belle Bannister, member of the club extension committee of the First district, has organized a new club in Keokuk. The name of this new organization is the Cleave Circle. The following are the officers and members President Mrs. Belle Bannister; first vice president, Mrs. Georgia Coleman; second vice president, Mrs. Ethea Golus; Miss Jessica O'Connor; junior secretary, Mrs. Mary Bland; treasurer, Mrs. Jefferson; Probe A.

OTTUMWA A drama in four acts, entitled "Lincoln's Proclamation," was given by the Ida Wells club for the benefit of the Ottumwa hospital February 16. The audience, though not large, was very appreciative and several numbers were heartily enced. Many pleasing specialties were introduced during the play and between acts. One of the features that won enthusiastic applause was the representation of a colored prayer meeting. In the last act was shown a cotton field with the hands busy picking cotton. The performance concluded with a drill by nine little girls. Before the play the colored band gave a short open air concert in front of the opera house. All of the participants in the play represented various character creditable manner. Tuesday, February 21, was observed as Reciprocity day by the Good Intent Club. An invitation was extended to the other clubs to be present and the attendance was very good. The papers read were full of deep thought, and three were placed in the bureau. The Benevolent club, under the leadership of Mrs. A. Strother, have held some very successful meetings this winter. They are following the line of study laid down by the educational committee. Their membership is steadily increasing, which is always a sign of progress. The hearts of Iowa club women have been moved to the tenderest sympathy by the recent death of Mrs. Genevieve Green Tellier, who was the first secretary of the Iowa State Federation. Her death will be sincerely mourned by her friends all over the state. The following questions have been sent out by the social purity committee 1. Do you approve of co-education? If so, why? 2. Does your club have talks on temperance? 3. Is it customary for them to give card parties or dances? Do you think a social game of cards will lead to gambling? 4. Do the parents of your city guard against late hours for their children? Which do you think the most beneficial for children, evenings spent in their own homes or at Y. M. C. A. or Y. W. C. A.? 5. Should there be an equal standard of morality for boys and girls? 6. Do you favor divorces? 7. Is gossip ever fruitful of good? 8. Does it ever really pay to help fallen women? Gertrude D. Culberson.

The ceremony and all included were a perfect success. The bride was dressed in blue and white and was very sweet. The bridal march was played by Miss Byrdie Dowdy. After the ceremony a daly three-course dinner was served, after which the bridal party prepared for the train. Misses Lettie Mitchell, Julia Smith, Byrdie Dowdy and Messrs.
