DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, MAY 12, 1905. EDITORIALS. HOMEWARD BOUND. President Roosevelt, who has been taking his vacation of several weeks in the snow cap peaks of the Rocky mountains and hunting in the wild muddy and snowy woods of Colorado, has turned his foot steps homeward with much small game, but very little large game. He has enjoyed the real western hospitality and that effective cheerful southern hospitality, and on his return trip that true loyal northern hospitality. Mr. Roosevelt is without doubt the best specimen of an allround American. May his life, acts and character inspire others upwards. AGE OF WORK. In this busy commercial age where all is in bustle, where competition and rivalry is struggling for mastery, where invention and modern science have revolution-ized common things, where worth true manhood and character counts, where intelligence, industry and frugality are the winning power, it becomes necessary for us as a race to pause a moment and see if we are keeping apace with the age. Are you at work, studying how you can best perform your work or best serve your employer? Are you using your idle time in trying to work out your own destiny? In short are you working? If not go to work, use your muscle, develop your brain, work your hands and results will come. Many of our young boys and girls are reared up in idleness, live in vice and die in iniquity. Many of us have absolutely no thought of tomorrow; many have no aim or purpose in life. They are just floating about like a lost ship in mid sea. Many are trying to live without work—this should not be—for this is the age of work. Then let us work, work, for all honest labor is good work. Rev. W. H. Porter of the Union Congregational church in Des Moines certainly believes in doing things. He is rapidly forging to the front as a speaker, and bids fair to soon be one of our leading devines. We are not surprised, Rev. Porter is from Georgia. The above clipping was taken from our very worthy contemporary. The Buxton Gazette. It is indeed true that no minister of the gospel ever came to our city that has risen so fast in our community, and has won the affection and highest esteem of not only his race, but the respect of the white people whom he has met; having been in our city less than one year, yet he was elected secretary and treasurer of the Ministerial Association of our city and will hold that office six months. Last week he was a delegate to the Grinnell Association of Congregationalist, which met at Perry, and was on the program and was elected scribe of the association for one year. This week comes the news that he has been selected to deliver the annual baccalaureate sermon to the students of Lineoln Institute at Jefferson City, Mo. He leaves next Tuesday for Sioux City, where he is on the program of the annual state Congregational Council, where fully 600 delegates will attend. Sunday he will exchange pulpits with Rev. Losey of the Pilgrim Congregational church, East Side, and the last Sunday in this month he will preach for Rev. Day of the new Presbyterian church, East Des Moines. Thus you see that any man with a pure character and Christian life will attract and draw men to the better things of life. NEW BOOK ON THE NEGRO QUESTION BY A NEGRO We are pleased to be able to offer to our readers the accompanying article by Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson, which will be used as an introduction to the forthcoming book 'The Aftermath of Slavery," by William A. Sankair, A. M., M. D., about to be published by Small, Maynard & Company of Boston; a book which is considered to be the most important contribution yet made to the burning color question, since it treats of the Nrogro as an American citizen and is written by one of the best educated and ablest colored men in the country—one who through his many years connection with Howard University of Washington City, is well-known throughout our land. "Now that so many authors, Southern and Northern, have suddenly broken out into the discussion of the so-called Negro problem, it is nothing more than fair that another Negro author should have his word to say. The very fact that these Southern contributions cover a very wide range in quality, from the really high-toned and enlightened work entitled 'Problems of Present South,' by Edgar gardner Murphy' down to the demagogic glorification of the Ku Klux Klan by the Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., this range of thought makes it only right to recognize the effort of a colored man to be fair and plain-spoken in doing justice to his side of the house. "The attempt to do this, at least, is visible in every page of Dr. Sinclair's book. One who like myself has visited within nine months the heart of the former slave States, who has seen the strong effort made by so many of the Southern whites to do justice to the Negro and who has talked freely with Southern public men—in my own case, for instance with the governors of three different States—must needs feel an impulse to take a hand when a colored writer enters on a manly and courageous argument for his own side, such as may be found in this volume. COMING STATE CONVENTION We have labored through the year for lasting results; we hope some have been reached. We know at least nearly 400 women of our state are enlisted under the banner "Lift as we climb." Only a little while longer and we shall reach the goal of our ambition. We hope these women, wives, mothers, and sisters, have the race, not individuality at heart. We are looking towards a better day. Only last week and one of the leading butchers refused to wait on a lady until all persons that happened to come in his shop after she had were served. So we find our color a bar, even in this grand old state of Iowa. We will not become discouraged, but bind our forces together and make our mites felt. This is food for thought for the economic committee. We hope the executive committee will be ready May 22, also board of directors. Many matters must be arranged that the convention may approve or disapprove. Send all new application to Mrs. Fannie Grooms, 1116 E. 8th street Muscatine, Ia.

Anniversary Gentlemen:— We announce that on the 14th day of May, 1905, the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows sixty-second anniversary thanksgiving service program will be rendered at the Maple street Baptist church, East Ninth and maple streets, at 2 o'clock p. m. Rev. Samuel Bates of Olarinda, Iowa, will preach the annual sermon. It is indeed pleasing to extend an invitation to all other secret organizations of the city to participate and help make a joyful noise unto God. Sing fourth the honor of his name and make his praise glorious. This we should do, be cause when the colored man was despised and rejected by all other organizations the G. U. O. of O. F., leads. England heard his cries, saw his needs and opened their arms to receive him, giving the American Negro the right to open lodge thus correctly promulgating the principle of friendship, love and truth. Those men not only read the Declaration of Independence, but saw the broad principles in it: that all men are created equal, made in the image and likeness of God. You will thus observe that God in his infinite mercy and goodness did not intend for the Negro to be deprived of this necessary means of bettering his condition in life, elevating the character of each other and teaching the principles of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. Peter Ogden was the Moses destined to bring this Grand United Order of Odd Fellows to the helpless Negroes of America, to bless and to cheer them in life, making better husbands, kinder fathers and respectable citizens. This order, since its introduction among the colored people, has flourished and blossomed as a rose. It teaches them to endure, demonstrating to all mankind that by sobriety, industry, frugality and an answering purpose they can compete with the more favored races of the world. This order has prospered in every way and today stands at the topmost round of the ladder among secret organizations in this country. It pays out to its sick and distressed, its widows and orphans, more than a quarter of a million dollars annually. As Negroes we should never forget, no matter what people may allege, that no society or organization, with the exception of the church of God, has done more for the advancement of the colored man intellectually, socially and morally, and none has done as much for his pecuniary aid in the hour of distress, sickness or want as the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows. "A friend in need is a friend indeed," and this order, which is recognized all over this great world as the greatest patriotic lodge in existence, seems to understand this phase thoroughly. It is evident that success lies only in an honorable and upright course, and our manhood and womanhood can best be assisted by intelligence, progressiveness and respectability. Then we can feel assured of increased benefits in the future. Our steps have been forward, not backward. Fraternity and union are deeply imbedded in the hearts of the American people. The sincerity of a man reaches to his sentences. Every every words that he utters colors the atmosphere about him; therefore, let every man speak wisely and well, for we are persuaded that a thread runs through all things and all words are strung on it. Cultivate calmness of speech, and haren unto the words of righteousness, for they shall be unto the as a lamp that lighted thy soul. Love transfigured, truth transforms and charity glorifies. It is indeed encouraging to know that this Grand United Lodge of Old Fellows has not lost any of its virility, nor have the self-governing principles been weakened. It is not stupid but permanent, and it is a magnet in space. It moves and attracts, and we as a people should do likewise. We should advance as time advances, and be so welded together, so systemized that we should be able to attract others, but in order to be able to attract we must keep love, thuth and brotherhood as a printed sign for our observance. Since the Grand United Order of Old Fellows has been in existence from time immemorial, we should hold up the banner of its principles, which are friendship, love and truth. 2.

Iowa State Federation of Colored Woman's Clubs meets at Muscatine. Iowa, May 22, 23, 24 NO MORE HEADACHE GENERAL WAKENESS AND FEVER DISAPPEAR TOO. How a Woman Was Freed from Trebles That Had Made Life Wretched for Many Years. The immediate causes of headache wary, but most of them come from poor or poisoned blood. The headache is so acute or thin; the nerves are imperfectly nourished and pain is the way in which they express their weakness. In cold the blood absorbs poison from the mucous surfaces, and the poison irritates the nerves and produces pain. In rheumatism, malaria and the grip, the poison in the blood produces like discomfort. In indigestion the gases from the impure system affect the blood in the same way. The ordinary headache-cause at best give only temporary relief. They deaden the pain but do not drive the poison out of the blood. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills on the contrary thoroughly renew the blood and the pain disappears permanently. Women in particular have found these pills an unfailing relief in headaches. Miss Stella BLOCKer recently said: "Dr. Williams' Pink Pills did me a great deal of good. I had headache nearly all the time. After I had taken three boxes of these pills I filled entirely well." "How long had you suffered?" she was asked. "Several years. I can't tell the exact date when my illness began for it came on by show degrees. I had been going down hill for many years." "Did you have any other aliments?" "I was very weak and sometimes I had fever. My liver and kidneys were affected as well as my head." "How did you come to take the remedy that cured you?" I saw in a southern newspaper a teacher of a person who was cured of a like trouble by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. My physician haun't done me any good, so I bought a box I felt so much better that I kept on until I became entirely well." Miss BLOCKer's home is at Louisiana. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all drugists. Besides headache they cure neuralgia, sciatica, nerves and paralysis, partial paralysis and rheumatism. Push a worthy enterprise as far as circumstances will permit.

A tourist at a hotel in Ireland asked the girl who waited on the table if he could have some poached eggs. "We haven't any eggs, sor," she replied; then, after a moment's reflection, she asked that he could get ye some poached salmon." In Chicago, Mme. Mebra received a characteristic letter from an American schoolboy. "Please send along a ticket for your concert to night," it read, "for I have heard you on the radio. I want you to see you can really get in all those trills." The boy got two free passes COFFEE HEART Very Plain in Some People. A great many people go on suffering from annoying aliments for a long time before they can get their own consent to give up the indulgence from which their trouble arises. A gentleman in Brooklyn describes his experience as follows: "I became satisfied some months ago that I owed the papition of the heart, from which I suffered almost daily, to the use of coffee (I had been a coffee drinker for 30 years), but I found it very hard to give up the beverage." "I realized that I must give up the harmful indulgence in coffee but I felt the necessity for a hot table drink, and as tea is not to my liking, I was at a loss for what to do. "One day I ran across a very sensible and straightforward presentation of the claims of Postum Food Coffee, and was so impressed thereby that I concluded to give it a trial. My experience with it was unsatisfactory till I learned how it ought to be prepared—by thorough boiling for not less than 15 or 20 minutes. After I learned how to prepare Postum Food coffee proved to be a most palatable and satisfactory hot beverage, and I have used it ever since. "The effect on my health has been most salutary. It has completely cured the heart palpitation from which I used to suffer so much, particularly after breakfast, and I never have a return of it except when I dine or lunch away from home and am compelled to drink the old kind of coffee because Postum is not served. I find that Postum Food Coffee cheers and invigorates while it produces no harmful stimulation. Name given by Postum Coffee, Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Ten day trial proves an eye opener to many.

MILK IS BADLY ADULTERATED Tests Carried On at Drake University Reveal Alarming Conditions. LARGE PER CENT IS IMPURE Seventy-Five Per Cent of the Samples Examined Were Found to Contain Formaldehyde, Borax or Chalk and Water—Much Was Skimmed. Des Moines, May 12—Expert tests just completed by Prof. C. N. Kinney, head of the chemistry department of Drake university, reveal a deplorable condition in regard to the character of the milk sold in University Place. Samples of milk purchased of a dozen or more dealers in the neighborhood of the university were examined with the result that 75 per cent was found to be adulterated with varying amounts of formaldehyde, borax, chalk and water. The tests were performed as a part of the class room work. Milk from practically all sources was found to be adulterated. A tell-tale fact is that different amounts of milk dried by every all the dealers. Approximately only three samples in ten were found to be pure. The presence of formaldehyde as a preservative was very general. Traces of borax were found, but with less precision than the practice of skimming milk and adulterating it with water to restore it to its former specific gravity. Thus the milk is weakened in two ways. The condition of the milk supply in University Place, and by inference all over the city is lamentable," said Professor Kinney. "The unsuperious adulteration of milk by dairymen has come to be a very serious matter, for the promptly for the protection of the public." "There should be a state commission appointed for the examination of milk and inspection of dairyes. State Dalry Commissioner Wright has promised me his cooperation if I were to take action against the commercial dealers. I do not contemplate taking action at law, although I firmly believe that prosecution should be brought." Another reason which makes such a commission imperative is the frequent tuberculosis in cat- "Milk adulterated with formaldehyde does not digest. The chemical which preserves the milk from action of the acids that cause milk to curdle is the stomach. One of the most general of the unscrupulous practices of the dealers is the skimming of the evening milk. It is the practice of most of the dealers not to make dehydrated milk in evening and in a majority of cases the milk is skimmed, warmed up and mixed with the morning supply. Cream and water are of about the same specific gravity, and water is usually added to the cream to repile the cream, with a quantity of fekelak added to give it color." The milk used in the tests was ob tained from street dealers, grocery stores and at students' boarding houses. QUARREL ENDS IN STABBING. Durfee Mines Near Oskaloosa is Scene of Desperate Affray. Oskaloosa, May 9—AM Durfee mines Easil McDowell was stabbed and seriously wounded by Steve Le Claire, both white men, in a drunken quarrel following a crap game.

Very general interest has been manifested in the government investigation now in progress into the make of conducting business by the large packers located in Chicago and elsewhere, the illegal and improper modes of business procedure connected with the packing industry; but it seems that so far no definite charge of any kind has been sustained and no proof of illegal business practices has been closed to the public. While a wave of severe criticism of this great industrial interest is now passing over the country it might be well to remember that the packers have had as yet no evidence of wrongdoing, the many indefinite charges of wrongdoing have never been formulated so that a categorical answer could be made. A recent report of Commissioner Garfield, which embodied the results of an official investigation undertaken by the Department of Commerce and Labor of the United States, was a vindication of the Western packers, but this result having been unexpected at the time, many quarters to discredit it were made. In view of the situation as it now stands, however, attention may properly be called to a few facts that owing to popular clamor are now being applied to the farmers of this country has heretofore been accorded to all citizens whose affairs as some prominence in the public eye and some of the facts that bear upon the relation of the packers to the commerce of the country may at some time be difficult to estimate the benefits gained by the farmers of the country resulting from the energetic enterprise of the packers, for whatever is of benefit to the farmer is a gain to the entire country, and it is needed with their continuous aggressive work no feature perhaps has been more important than their efforts in seeking outlets all over the world for the surplus products of the farmer. Our total exports of agricultural products in the past twenty years, and leaving out corn, the total of all other farm products was far less in 1938 than in 1891. But in packing house products there was considerable gain during this period. The fact that the force has been behind them seeking new and broader markets. Besides the benefits reaped by farmers on account of the enterprise and energy exercised by the packers in at least one of the trades, the great development in the manufacture of packing house by-products has added enormously to the value of all live stock raised in the country in the last twenty years ago, then an expense to the packer, is now converted into articles of great value, and, as an economic fact, this must correspondingly be increased every head of cattle marketed at the numerous stockyards of the country. Let these facts be remembered while now so popular to regard the practicable stockyards of the country, condemnation. At least it must be admitted that, so far, there is no adequate reason for the almost unani mous towl that may be heard every time the farm is allowed to transport above alluded to which practically exonerates the packers from the obscure and indefinite charges that have been for some time past made the sub-standard comment. — American Homestead. When Mascagni last visited this country he one day chanced to hear an organ-grinder who was grinding out, in the most mechanical manner the intermezzo from *Cavalleria Rusicana*. Mascagni impatiently grabbed the crank, and saying, "I'll show you how to play that," finished the selection in what he thought the prop orer manner. The organ-grinder was not much impressed until he was told he would mediate it, and mediately he put on his organ a place bearing the following legend: "Pupil of Mascagni." Judge Syvester Dana of the Concord, N. H., police court, once had a case before him in which the charge was for a technical assault, and it came out in the course of the evidence that the parties were neighbors, and had been on the best of terms for some years. "It is a great pity," said the judge, "that old friends, as you seem to have been, should appear before me in such a way. Surely this case will be solved, and I will be of court?" "It can't be done, judge," answered the plaintiff, moody; "I thought of that myself, but the cuss won't fight." A Tale of Suffering. Oakley, Mich. May 8th.—(Special)—I could not sleep or rest in any place, says Florence Capen of this place in a recent interview, "I had a rain in my back and hips.

"Then I sent for a box of Dodd's Kidney Pills and went to take them and what do you think that very night I went to bed and I slept till morning. I got up and thanked God for the night's rest and Dodd's Kidney Pills. I know that Dodd's Kidney Pills are all that is claimed for them." This is only one of the numerous experiences that show the way to build up run down people is to cure them. In every state hear witness to the fact that Dodd's Kidney Pills never fall to cure the kidneys.

BUSY TOWN IS NOW CEMETERY Awful Effect of Cyclone in Snyder, Oklahoma, is Known. IS A SCENE OF DEVASTATION Death List is Now Expected to Exceed One Hundred wires — Eighty-Five Bodies Have Been Found—Certain There Are More in the Wreckage Forth Worth, Tex., May 11—Repairs over railroad wires to Fort Worth says that dispatches from Snyder, Okla., to the train dispatcher of the Frisco at Sapulpa, I. T., reports that a tornado struck Snyder last night, wrecking the town and killing 500 people, and causing the train dispatcher, sent by the Fort Worth Record, asking for information, was answered as follows: "We have same report, and are sending a relief train on the supposition that it is wires. Wires all down." Sapulpa, I. T., May 11—Reports here confirm the rumored destruction of Ohio and place the number of dead at 500. Relief is on the way to Snyder. Guthrie, Okla., May 12 — The latest official reports from the tornado stricken town of Snyder, Okla., place the list of dead at ninety-five. Other rumors advance this figure to 100. It appears the list when accurately tabulated will reach 120. Of the injured there are various reports reaching from 100 to 150. The storm formed near the south and its path extends in a north east direction for forty miles. It caused damage at small towns and was reported by Snyder. Reports indicate that the deaths out side of Snyder will aggregate over twenty-five and may go higher. Relief is sent from neighboring towns. From Oklahoma City today went 100 men to dig graves and seen the bodies of the dead. A dozen underwaterers with 100 coffins. Offers of fiscal assistance have come from numerous cities. Debt was carried to the northeast as far as Cooperton, twelve miles, and it is reported that there are more of the fragments of homes in the area than in the town. A report is in the tornado path at Snyder. About seventy-five head of horses and cattle were killed on the town-site. A committee set to work yesterday to remove the dead animals. The mayor of Snyder is having much trouble arranging for the burial of the dead. There is much suffering owing to lack of provisions and places to stay. What houses remain in the town are in bad condition and are unsafe for habitation. Besides, the town is in poor condition and the homeless. Bedding and fuel are lacking. Dr. Cork of Hobart, who was active in relieving the suffering, says that 20 per cent of the wounded will die. The havewrought by the tornado is complete. Out of a town of 1,000 people not more than a score of houses are intact, while two-thirds of the buildings are totally wrecked. The storm formed south of Oulcee, near the Texas line, and took a northward course. At 8 o'clock, it was observed by the people of Snider, but the usual funnel-shaped formation was lacking, and though the roar was plainly heard for some time before the storm broke, many were of the opinion that it was a hall storm. Within a few minutes the sky became suddenly dark, and downpour of rain began, lasting for several minutes, when it stopped almost as suddenly as it had come. A few moments of ominous calm followed and then the tornado struck, tearing buildings to pieces as though they were made of paper. Many people who had thought to take advantage f the calm to seek refuge dollars were caught in the streets and were lifted high into the form of a tower and were lifted high into the air and disabled to the ground as though hurled from a datapult. Others were struck by flying debris and beaten almost beyond recognition. The few that remained in the houses fared no better. In the path which swept across all excepting a few blocks in the southeastern corner of the town the frame structures collapsed like egg shells, burying occupants under the debris, killing, crushing and maiming. Six of the eight hotels were torn to pieces, burying many in the wreck. Near the railroad track, where many cottages stood, not one is left standing. All of its contents it was all over and the air was filled with shrieks of injured, mingled with cries of those who had escaped and were seeking lost ones. MOB KILLS 16 JEWS, WOUNDS 100 Renewal of Anti-Semitic Disturbances Feared in Russia St. Petersburg, May 12.—According to private advices from Zhitomir the results of the anti-Jewish riots there are sixteen dead and more than 100 wounded, mostly Jews. Marshal law was proclaimed there yesterday. A man in the local jail is found Saturday evening and Sunday next. The same advices bring news of a further antisemitic outbreak in Gostyun, in the province of Warsaw, in which many Jews were injured and houses pillaged. No fatalities, however, are reported, but Jewish circles have been involved in developments, not only in Zhitomir's Gostyun, but also in other localities in the Jewish frontier where the Jewish element is numerous and the anti-semitic sentiment strong. The social democrats declare that their program includes demonstrations throughout Russia on Sunday and that they are provided with bombs and dynamite with which to fight the troops if the later interfere.

McAllister, writes from 1217 West 331rd street, Minneapolis, on film, as follows: "I was in the small of my back and right, and interfered often with my dystonic and social duties and I never supposed that I would be cured, as the doctor's medical advice seems to help me any. "Fortunately our doctor advised me to try Peruna, and we 15 such high praise that I decided to try it. Although I started in with little pain, it is so much better in a week that I felt it was worth it. "I took it faithfully for seven weeks and am happy indeed to be able to say that I am entirely cured. "Peruna will express my gratitude. Perfect I wish to be the best thing I could wish for, and thanks to Peruna, I enjoy that now." Pain in the back, on or on the right side. When he a physician hears this complaint. Over and over we hear women say: "I have a paid in the small of my back. I have a pain in my right side, just before I can walk." These symptoms indicate pelvic or abdominal earache. They indicate that the bowels are not acting properly—that the liver is out of order—that the pelvic organs are congested. The catarrh—that is the name for it. Peruna cures pelvic catarrh, when all of these symptoms disappear. The catarrh may be all in the abdominal organs, when it would be properly called abdominal catarrh. At any rate, it is one of those cases of intestinal catarrh which can be reached only by a course of treatment with Peruna. We have on file thousands of testimonials similar to the above. It is impossible here to give our readers more information about the latter of grateful and commendatory letters Dr. Hartman is constantly receiving in behalf of his famous catarrh remedy, Peruna.

SACHOUELY BAR FLEETS FROM FRENCH WATERS Imperative Orders Are Sent By French Government. ROJESTVENSKY MUST DEPART Admiral Instructed to See He Leaves French Waters-Fleet Sets Sail in Response to Repeated Requests Made By French Admiral. Paris, May 10.—A dispatch from Salign to the Petit Journal says: "Nebogattoff's squadron appeared at daybreak of May 9 twenty miles off Cape St. James, preparing to ascend the river to Salign, where the commander expected to find the necessary orders for affecting a junction with Rojestenky and revictualling his feet. He was halted at sea by a scout belonging to the Russian second Pacific squadron, which communicated to him France's desire that the junction of the Russian squadrons should occur outside of Indo-Chinese waters. Nebogattoff then disappeared on the open sea, sailing towards the second squadron, which doubtless is awaiting off the Annam coast." Victoria, P.E., May 10.—A Japanese state rumor that rumors are current that the Russian squadron has lost many torpedo craft during the voyage. Nha Trang, Annum, May 10.—Admiral Rojestenky's squadron, which has been cruising for several days Hong Kong, May 10.—The German steamer Neumühlen arrived here today from Colombo, March 28, and reported having sighted forty-five coasts in the vicinity of Kumrah bay, Anam, May 5. The coasting steamer Haimun, which also has reached this port, arrived on the cruiser of Anam, straits of Formosa. Paris, May 11—Oders have been sent to the civil and naval authorities in French Indo-China not to permit the junction within French Indo-China under the admiral Rejestvensky and the rear admiral Neshogatoff. Instructions have also been sent to Admiral de Jonquieres, the French naval commander, who serves the promises he has already given to leave the French waters. The orders resulted from the receipt of a detailed dispatch giving an account of Admiral Jonquieres' recent visit to the west coast, says the Russian squadron made a four days' cruise outside the four mile limit, and then returned last Saturday, anchoring at Konghai bay, and taking on provisions and fresh water. When Admiral de Janquieres was informed of the Russian's return he proceeded to Kougai and requested that he withdraw outside territorial waters. The Russian admiral gave De Janquieres his word that he intended to leave his anchorage and to take to the open sea. He also informed De Jonécuires that he would be with the land he had not violated any of the neutrality regulations, and that the stops of the Russian squadron along the Indo-China const were the crews. The Russian admiral said he would depart the following day. PAT CROWE Omaha, Neb. May 7—Pat Crowe, the alleged knipper of Eddie Cudahy, son of the millionaire packer of Omaha and for whose arrest rewards aggregating $50,000 have at different times been offered, walked into the office of the World-Herald at 1 o'clock this morning, accompanied by Thomas O'Brien, prophetor of the Henshaw hotel of this city. Crowe telephoned the World-Herald office at midnight of his presence in the city and stated that he would call at the newspaper office. A short time afterward he appeared in company with Mr. O'Brien. Crowe, O'Brien and a representative of the World-Herald were closed for nearly an hour, during which time Crowe told of his wanderings since he left the city four years ago. Crowe stated that he had served in the Boer war, fighting with the Boers. He returned to this country after the war and has lived continuously, according to his statement, quietly in a south side flat in Chicago. He says he has been in Chicago nearly three years, and that he has visited Omaha on three different occasions during the war. Omaha, May 8—As mysterious as was the return to this city of Pat Crowe, the alleged kidnapper of Eddie Cudahy four and a half years ago, has been his last disappearance. The officer of the newspaper Friday night he remarked that he was going to the home of his brother in Council Bluffs, but he could not be located there. Saturday, Chief of Police Donahue early in the work in an attempt to secure, if possible, a trace of Crowe's whereabouts, but their efforts have not been rewarded with success thus far. Edward Crowe declares that he would not recommend any force for him to do anything he could to secure his conviction. BOYCOTT AMERICAN GOODS Shanghai, May 11—A large and influential meeting of Chinese merchants held here yesterday protested vigorously against the proposed new Chinese exclusion treaty recently discussed on the subject were sent to Chinese officials to Yuan-Shi-Klai, viceroy of China province, and Chouhua, viceroy of Nakin, and it was unanimously decided to boycott. American goods until the terms of the proposed treaty were agreed throughout the Chinese empire are urged to co-operate in the movement. SITUATION IS NEARING CRISIS Hostility Toward France is Growing in Japan. INFORMATION IS RECEIVED Of Additional Use of French Waters By Russian Ships—Motion to Boycott French Goods Likely to Reach Vote in Japanese Chamber. London, May 11—A dispute to the Exchange Telegraph company from St. Petersburg says it is reported there that the Russian cruises Almaz and Jemilech, belonging to Ream Admiral Voolkersam's division of Vice Admiral Rojestvensky's squadron, have eluded the Japanese warships and reached Vladivostok. Teklo, May 11—M. A. E. Bougain, a prominent Frenchman, and his stepson, F. Strange, an Englishman, have been arrested here as spies. Tokio, May 11.—The government maintains reserve, but the Tadokai-China situation seems to be rapidly approaching a crisis. Following the repeated assurances of the French government, the Tadokai-China Motono, the Japanese minister at Paris, the vessels of the Russian second Pacific squadron were outside Territorial waters, the navy commander here has received reliable information that the Japanese squadron was inside Honi-hai-Kol bay, a short distance north of Kumamoto bay, the morning of May 6, and it was generally believed that the fourth (Nichogatuf) division of the squadron was to take on the Japanese and take on other supplies and clean their bottoms. It is difficult to predict future events. The Japanese government has agreed to accept France's assurances and to remain outside territorial waters, and to act accordingly. The agitation against France commercially is growing, and, despite government repression, a motion to boycott French commerce has been voted in the chamber of commerce. Paris, May 11.—In the course of an apparently authoritative statement published here of Japan's case against France, a summary is given of various vessels of the Russian second Pacific squadron at Cherbourg, Dakar, Algiers, Jioftl, Maguana, Norsl, Kamranh bay, Port Dayot and Honkobe bay. The conclusions of the government are stated to be as follows: First—Without questioning the good faith of France, Japan holds that the French orders to observe neutrality have not been sufficiently executed. Second—France should have taken sufficient at measures beforehand to prevent violations of neutrality instead of securing the observance of neutrality after Japan's remonstrances. Third—In default of sufficient surveillance Vice Admiral Rojentvelsen has issued a command in the inace accomplishment of the mission against gaining access to Chinese waters. Consequently it was for the ends of warfare that Vice Admiral Rojentvelsen utilized on successive occasions French waters both for anchoring and for reinforcing the arrival of reinforcements. The foregoing is said to be substantially Japan's position both as to the rast and as the basis for any foregone breach of neutrality the alleged breaches of neutrality. FRANCE MAKES REPLY. Says She Has Done No More Than Her Accuser Paris, May 12.—A semi-official statement from high school was published yesterday giving France's position in the reply to Japan's charges of breaches of neutrality. One of the clauses is: "Japan had done in the Philippines and Dutch East Indies the act of accusing France of doing in Indo-China. The conclusions set forth as being: 'First—The French neutral regulations were not established for the present war, but exercised previously without protest from Japan. Second—The French exercised her sovereignty to fulfill the regulations not only to the full letter, but has also adopted special measures to maintain absolute impartiality. Third—The only direct purchases of coal by the Russians were at Al-Musayn. The quantity was insignificant. The only purchase of coal was purchased in Germany and Egypt without protest. Fourth—Any advantages which the Russian second squadron obtained by anchoring off the French coast was equally open to the Japanese if they were to attack the offensive instead of awaiting the Russians." KUROPATKIN TALKS. Sorry That He Did Not Evacuate Mukden Sooner. Gunshu Pass, May 11.—A correspondent of the Associated Press interviewed General Kuropatkin, who said nothing about the reports that he was returning to Russia. The former commander-in-chief of the Russian forces believes that the Japanese have again brought all their units up to full strength and having added considerable reinforcements, are ready to assume the offensive. The general expressed regret at the fact that Mukden was not evacuated before March 7, as he desired. He said he deferred so doing on the advice of his generals who insisted upon holding the place. Even as it was, he said that the transports in the rear were not executed promptly, and when the final orders was given to retreat the reads assigned to the various divisions were not taken, which caused much confusion. The Japanese could not have driven a wedge across the Hun river east of Mukden at the critical moment, Kuropatin added, had the troops allotted to guard that portion of the positions. He concluded: "A Russian victory is absolutely necessary, Russia cannot make a shametul peace." SUNSHINE Mrs. Pare, wife of C. B. Pare, a prominent resident of Glasgow, Ky. says: "I was suffering from a complication of tilted troubles, besides a bad back, I had a great deal of trouble with the secretions, which were exceedingly variable, sometimes excessive and at other times scanty. The color was high, and passages were accompanied with a scalding sensation. Donn's Kidney Pills soon regulated the kidney secretions, making their color normal and banishing the inflammation which closed the scalding sensation. I can rest well, my back is strong and sound and I feel much better in every way." For sale by all dealers, price 50 cents per box. FOSTER-MILBURN CO., Buffalo, N. Y.

WOMAN NEEDS The Secret of Good Coffee Even the best housekeepers cannot make a good cup of coffee without good material. Dirty, adulterated and quely blended coffee such as unscrupulous dealers shovel over their counters won't do. But take the pure, clean, natural flavored LION COFFEE, the leader of all package coffees—the coffee that for over a quarter of a century has been daily welcomed in millions of homes—and you will make a drink fit for a king in this way: Grind your LION COFFEE rather fine. Use "a tablespoonful to each cup, and one for the pot." First mix it with a little cold water, enough to make a thick paste, and add white of an egg (if egg is to be used as a settier), then follow one of the following rules: 1st. WITH BOILING WATER. Add boiling water, and let it boil THREES MINUTES ONLY. Add a little cold water and set aside five minutes to settle. Serve promptly. 2d. WITH COLD WATER. Add your cold water to the paste and bring it to a boil. Then set aside, add a little cold water, and in five minutes it's ready to serve. 3 Don't boil it too long. Don't let it stand more than ten minutes before serving. Don't use water that has been boiled before. TWO WAYS TO SETTLE COFFEE. 1st. With Eggs. Use part of the white of an egg, mixing it with the ground LION COFFEE before boiling. 2d. With Cold Water instead of eggs. After boiling add a dash of cold water, and set aside for eight or ten minutes, then serve through a strainer. Insist on getting a package of genuine LION COFFEE, prepare it according to this recipe and you will only use LION COFFEE in future. (Sold only in 1 lb. sealed packages.) We have no buying stations.

Born at the Front in the South African War From Moot river Sir William Macormac, England's distinguished surgeon, who took the field with the doctors in South Africa, sends to the London Lancet an interesting set of notes on the remarkable bullet wounds he has seen recently. "The greater number of these wounds," he says, "were caused by the Mauser bullet, and nearly all presented the characteristic features—a small circular, slightly depressed area covered by a black scab. The exit wounds often were similar, but a little larger, sometimes presenting a scar like an incised wound and difficult to discover. When I saw them a week or ten days after the injury they were for the most part healed. How these bullets fail to damage vital structures lying immediately in their path is nothing short of marvellous. The proportion of fatal chest wounds to those that are recovered from is believed to be small, but what the proportion precisely is cannot yet be learned. It is abundantly clear that one lung and often both lungs may be traversed, and in many directions, without causing grave symptoms, and without producing any symptoms of lung trouble at all." A private who looked extremely well and said he had nothing to complain of had a hole seven inches long and three inches wide in his chest, which involved the lungs. Part of those of his lungs were carried away and the lung was exposed. The soldier lay it a trench on the field from 2.30 to 3.00 o'clock before he could be attended to. He was carried to the hospital at 12.50 o'clock that night. Another private was in the middle of the nose and the bullet caused out the back of the neck. He had a little headache, an some trouble in swallowing, but in ten days the wound healed and the man apparently was perfectly well. Tax on Snapshot Photographers.

How to Be Happy. A French woman married to an Englishman, contributing to a correspondence in a contemporary to "Why Married Life is Dull" says, "When my husband prefers to be out alone, I am willing assent. I never bother him with questions, and I never nag. French women do not do these things, and the life of the French middle-class family is a model of happiness." "Left-Handed" Animals Left-handness, or its equivalent, is said to be very common in birds and animals. Parrots seize objects with the left claw by preference.

The parrot has been found to make a reader use of the left claw for climbing than the right. Origin of "Piker." In English slang a 'piker' is a tramp or vagrant. The word is sometimes used in connection with Wall street and the race track, where it is applied to the man whose investment in the race track has become a sort of term of contempt for the man who does things in a small way.
