Governor Folk has made the following statement concerning the Negro lynching in southeast Missouri: "No matter how deserving of death the Negro may have been or how dastardly the crime, it was murder for the mob to hang him. Kidnaping is a capital offense in Missouri, but the execution should be by law and not by a mob. "It is just as much an offense in the eyes of the law for a mob to kill a guilty person as it would be to lynch an innocent one. We must have government by law, and not by mobs, and those who take part in such lawlessness do so at their peril. "The attorney general has been directed to investigate the matter and to assist the prosecuting attorney of the county in bringing to justice those participating in this crime. Lynching cannot and will not be tolerated in Missouri." Governor Folk is a Democrat and it is conceded that he will be a candidate before the next Democrat National convention for the nomination of President. Wonder what Tillman, Graves, Williams and Vardaman will think of him for making such statements? DECORATION DAY. Each year the new warm zephys that greet us with the approach of summer seems to bring renewed patriotism, and that spirit breaks forth unselfishly and responsively on decoration day, when the American people pause in their busy walks of life to pay tribute and strew loving flowers to the memory and graves of their departed comrades or friends, It is a day when eulogy and songs renew in minds that love of country and respect of fellow-man. May the correct idea ever remain of true patriotism and loyalty, and on next Tuesday when we go to the cemetary or little lonely grave yard and stand beside the grave of our departed friend, comrade or relative, we may in silent prayer strew the grave with living flowers and moist the flowers with a loving tear. We hope the time may soon come when the christian love and patriotic zeal will unify and cement all man-kind together as one indissoluble band, working for the uplift of humanity and the betterment of the world. May we always honor those who freely gave their lives for us, those who bore the deprivation, horrors, hardship and vacissitudes of war to pressure our union and the flag. May we exclaim praises for the living and offer tears for the dead. NEWSPAPER PLAGIARISM. It is indeed a pity that our contemporaries are constantly pirating in the newspaper field. Last week the St. Joseph Radical took verbatim the ediorial the BYSTANDER written on the "Age of Work," and published it without extending any courtesies or even giving credit. This has occurred several times with this paper, hence we must expose it, because those acts are not right. We do not care for the credit, but if a newspaper clips from one without giving credit they will clip from other periodicals. We speak of this hereafter all papers may not forget their plain duty. THE FREDRICK DOUGLASS CENTER. Number 3032 Wabash Avenue is an old fashioned three-story and basement house in what was once a fashionable seition, and now it has an entirely respectable though not an aristocratic setting. Situated as it is within a block of Michigan Boulevard, the proud home of millionaires, and State Street, the thoroughfare of small shop-keepers, while one block further west we come to the Dearborn and La Salle street colored district. On the evening of April 26th this old house, effectively revamped, was crowded with an unique company gathered for an unique and impressive service. Dr. and Mrs. Woolley have taken up their home in this building and they will gather around them right-minded people who will pursue such co-operative life and work as represent the new piety, the co-operative helpfulness, the ministry of friendly contact irrespective of race or color distinctions. A program was printed which contained scriptural responses from "Scriptures Old and New." Suitable music and hearty singing diversified the occasion. Mrs. Woolley presided. Dr. C. E. Bentley, secretary of the Center, read an interesting history of the movement and outlined the work in hand. Addresses were made by Judge E O. Brown, Mrs. Henrotin, Mrs. Mrs. Wilmarth, Drs. Hall and Williams and Jenkin Lloyd Jones, who also read as a part of the program, Browning's "How It Strikes a contemporary." The success of the movement this far has been most flattering. Four hundred and sixty-four names are enrolled as members. The treasurer reported some $2,108.00 received; $1,500.00 have already been applied on the property, leaving some four thousand more to be met on easy payments. It is to be hoped that this movement marks the return to the tide, a recovering of a lost inspiration, so that the inspiration of the Father and the bitter trial of was may be justified. We will watch with great interest the further development of this commendable movement and will ever hold ourselves ready to serve it by speech or pen. The above article is from the Chicago Unity, a weekly paper published by the Unity Publishing Company, which is owned by a number of white men. Jenkin Lloyd Jones and William Kent are the editors. --- GIVEN AWAY. "The Three Most Beautiful Roses" By Paul de Longpre At the urgent solicitation of the Woman's Home Companion, Mr. Paul de Longpre, who is the greatest painter of flowers in the world, consented to make a painting of what he considered "The Three Most Beautiful Roses," and the painting is without doubt one on the mastenpiece of this great artist. This magnificent picture is reproduced in all its original grandeur on the cover of the Woman's Home Companion for June. Although this cover is an accurate reproduction of a painting worth hundreds of dollars, yet the June number, which has this exquisite cover, may be obtained at any first-class news stand or direct from the publishers for the trivial sum of only ten cents. Mr. Paul de Longpre is justly styled the "King of Flower Painters." He not only paints roses, but every flower that grows, and is the highest authority on flowers. His paintings are found in the most select homes. Some have sold for as much as seven thousand five hundred dollars ($7,500.00.) Artists, art critics and competent judges all agree that the covers of the Woman's Home Companion far excel those of any other magazine. The Woman's Home Companion is a magazine which is beauty and excellence, art, stories, illustrations and fashions, etc., excels all other home and family magazines. The Woman's Home Companion is published by The Crowell Publishing Company, New York City, also Chicago, Ill., at One Dollar a year, and is the favorite magazine in nearly half a million homes, where it is read each and every issue by three million people.

The essential thing in life is prayer. No voice has ever been heard in heaven or on earth more holy or sublime than this prayer offered up by the son of God himself. The prayer is divisible into parts. He first asks for himself a glorification for his disciples' sake, and then the not-reission begins first for the church sloner. The more diligent Christ's life was, the more he prayed; no matter how important other duties were. As he draws nearer the time of the cross he knows that more prayer is needed, first for these he leaves behind, that they may do the work he has called them to do. Christ's glory amongst his believers is in various degrees, a bearing luminesse destine to shine in eternal splendor in the celestial firmament. Where dissention prevails progress is at an end. It we would have a successful church, full of power and of the spirit, we must have the indwelling of Christ. Why is it that believers are not in the same spirit now? Because they neither attend to his campure nor to the truth of Christ. He prayed that his disciples might be kept from evil in this world, that they might be sanctified, that the church might be a unit and his disciples share his glory. No one can be kept from sin and temptation when he relies on his own strength. OTTUMWA NEWS Mr. William Thomas died very suddenly at his home at 3:10 a.m. Saturday. He was buried Sunday.

All eyes have turned toward the twenty-seventh annual tournament of the Iowa Firemen's State association to be held in Council Bluffs, June 6, 7, and 9. There is no longer any question but that the occasion will be the greatest of the kind ever held in this or any other state, and those who have been identified with large affairs of this kind, freely state that the preparations that have been on foot for the past sixmonths for the tournament in Council Bluffs, and the amount of money raised to defray the expenses of the tournament fixed, anyway, beyond what has been done in a similar event in the West. From the very start, the management of the affair have been untiring in their efforts to establish a new standard for firemen's tournaments. In addition to the parades, races and contests that are usually pulled off on such occasions, enough spectacular extra features have been added to make a full four days' program by themselves. The tournament proper will take place on the fair grounds, within easy walking distance from the center of the city, but no sooner will the exercises be over at the fair than another program will be started on the streets down town, consisting of parades, illuminated fire runs, music, marching and scores of other special stunts that have been prepared in every detail with the greatest care. And, as if the management were fearful that four days and four nights of almost uninterrupted entertainment were not sufficient for the iens of thousands who will attend the tournament, the management has closed a contract with Barney Oldfield and his famous "Green Dragon" to give an exhibition on June 7 and 8. Oldfield will take part in the parades and will run his gasoline monster against time on the field. As is well known, Oldfield holds the world's records for distances from one mile to fifty miles. Since the announcement that he will take part in the tournament, correspondence has been received from scores of automobile enthusiasts, requesting that a series of automobile races be arranged and it is practically assured that farther interest will be added to the already crowded program of events by a half dozen automobile races. | | P. | W | L. | Pet. | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Sioux City | 23 | 15 | 8 | 652 | | Des Moines | 24 | 14 | 10 | 583 | | Omaha | 25 | 13 | 12 | 520 | | St. Joseph | 22 | 11 | 11 | 500 | | Denver | 22 | 12 | 13 | 480 | | Colorado Springs | 23 | 8 | 15 | 318 | MT.

In his testimony before the senate committee on interstate commerce at Washington on May 4, Prof. Hugo R. Meyer of the Chicago university, an expert on railroad management, made this statement: "Let us look at what might have happened if we had heeded the protests of the farmers of New York and Ohio and Pennsylvania (in the 70's) when grain from the west began pouring to the Atlantic seaboard), and acted upon the doctrine which the interstate commerce commission has enunciated time and again, that no man may be deprived of the advantages accruing to him by virtue of his geographical position. We could have prospered by the population of millions of people who are prosperous and are great consumers. We never should have seen the years when we built 10,000 and 12,000 miles of railway, for there would have been no farmers west of the Mississippi river who could have used the land that would have been opened up by the building of those railways. And if we had not seen the years when we could build 10,000 and 12,000 miles of railway a year, we should not have to day east of the Mississippi a steel and iron product. We could have marvel and the dearship of Europe, because we could not have built up a steel and iron industry if there had been no market for its product. We could not have in New England a great boot and shoe industry; we could not have in New England a great cotton mill industry; we could not have spread throughout New York and Pennsylvania and Ohio manufacturing industries of the most diversified kinds, because those industries were so poor we could not among the farmers west of the Mississippi river. And while the progress of this country, while the development of the agricultural west of this country, did mean the impairment of the agricultural value east of the Mississippi river, that ran up into hundreds of millions of dollars, it meant incidentally the building up of great manufacturing industries that added to the value of this land by thousands of millions of dollars. And, gentlemen, those things were not foreseen in the 70s. The statesmen and the public men of this country did not see what part the agricultural development of the state was going to play in the industrial development. You may read the decisions of the interstate commerce commission from the first to the last, and what is one of the greatest characteristics of those decisions? The continued inability to see the question in this large way. The interstate commerce commission can see anything more than that the farm land of some farmer is decreasing in value, or that some man who has a flour mill with a production of fifty barns a day is being crowded out. It never can see that the destruction or impairment of farm values in this place means the upgrowing of farm values in that place. Farm values in this place are a necessary incident to the industrial and manufacturing development of this country. And if we shall give to the interstate commerce commission power to regulate rates, we shall no longer have our rates regulated on the statesmanlike basis on which they have been regulated in the past by the railway men, who really have been great statesmen, who really have been great builders of empires, who really have been great inventors, that rivals the imagination of the greatest and of the greatest inventor, and who have operated with a courage and daring that rivals the courage and daring of the greatest military general. But we shall have our rates regulated by a body of civil servants, bureaucrats, whose besetting sin the world over is that they never can grasp a situation in a large way and with the grasp of the statesman; that they never can see the fact that they are civil servants, that they evil is relatively small, and that it cannot be corrected except by the creation of evils and abuses which are infinitely greater than the one that is to be corrected."

"Yale has sent a class of students to New York to study wicked social conditions." Sociology?—or only the usual bat? Henry Watterson says that maybe Vesuvius was thrust up to show what hell would do. It has been an impressive example. Nine hundred new variable stars have been discovered. They are not theatrical stars, although the latter are extremely variable. Edward Atkinson says that a man who could live on $300 a year always has gumption enough to get more Russell Sage, for instance. The would-be midshipman who increased his height by the use of a stretching machine might be rejected on the ground that he stretched the truth. Not much has been said recently concerning radium. But how could it be expected to keep on creating excitement with meat at the present price? New York's legislators receive $1,500 a session, out of which sum several of the members are said to have said by recently between $25,000 and $40,000. If nothing will satisfy old John L. Sullivan but a fight, let him stand in front of a looking glass and fight the various reflections of himself he will see therein. The wife of a Kansas laborer left him, when she died, a legacy of $40,000 he did not know she had. Yet there are people who say a woman can't keep a secret. We really fear that it would be a great sheck to the aesthetic senses of Mr. Edward Atkinson if all women should follow his suggestion and dress on $65 a year apiece. A Scotch scientist is hunting for a rumored herd of striped horses in Mexico, heedless of the fact that there is a "pub" on almost every corner at home in Edinboro. The orange crop in Italy, Spain and southern France is reported to be almost a complete failure. It is expected, however, that the cotton-seed olive oil yield will be as generous as ever. A New York author has purchased over 4,600 acres of land in the Adriadracks from the royalties on two novels. Yet some publishers wonder why so many people are writing stories. And now a grasping employee of Udebe Russell Sage has sued the old man for $800 wages, which he says that he has earned and Sage won't pay. Has he no respect whatever for the aged? How can the Russian fleet expect to win, when the men who serve the guns have to stop every little while to emit their stirring battle cry: "Remember the Suvaboroslasissolsvietnathavitch!" The Detroit man who has secured a judgment of $2,000 against a secret order for injuries sustained while he was held prisoner into the organization must have been butted furiously by the goat. It has been said that some men will do anything for money. No doubt the Cincinnati man who has agreed to keep sober for three years for $50,000 feels that he has illustrated again the truth of this cynicism. King Edward is to have an American typewriter, but he will probably not have what most American gentlemen consider an important adjunct—a pretty operator. Too bad, for he could undoubtedly get one by advertising. Fugilist Jeffries declares, furthermore, that he will retire from the drama at the end of the present season. This, coming right after the death of Mr. Jefferson and the farewell appearance of Modjeska, will leave the drama pretty wobbly. Miss. Mary J. Crowther of New York has just divorced her eldest has band. If practice counts for anything she ought to be able by the time she picks out her tent or eleventh to get a man who will be satisfactory in at least a majority of respects—if each a man exists. An anatome of the Philadelphia insane daylight says he knows enough to "write an editorial for any New newspaper." If he thinks that will help him to get out of the asylum he is very much mistaken. THE MODERN FARMER. How He Lives, as Compared With Fifty Years Ago. the farming life of to-day, as contrasted with tint of fifty years ago, is a paradise of comfort and con- venience.

I doctored all the time with remedies, but medicine did no good. 'My physician put me on all sorts of diet, and I tried many kinds of cereal foods, but none of them agreed with me. I was almost discouraged, and I was very afraid with many misgivings—I had no faith that it would succeed where everything else had failed. "But it did succeed, and you don't know how glad I am that I tried it I feel like a new person, I have gained in weight and I don't have that terrible burning sensation in my stomach again that I am surprised at myself.

GUARDS WILL WATCH MEN There Is Said to Exist Much Bad Blood Between the Two Men and It Is Feared They May Come Together During the Trial. Des Moines, May 23—Everything seems to be in readiness for the trial of Tom Dennison to begin at Red Oak this morning without any delay, though thirteen years have now passed since the crime with which he is charged was committed. Both sides have stated that the trial will occupy fully two weeks and from the host of witnesses subpoenaed it looks as if they knew whereof they spoke. Shercliffe, the state's star witness, left Des Moines for Red Oak yesterday and accompanied by his wife. He has declared that he will "get Dennison this time" if it is in his power to do so. To a crowd of friends Shercliffe declared when asked if there might be any sensational developments in the case: "There might be a good job for an undertaker at the end." There is much bad blood between Sherlie and Dennison. As far as known the two men have never come face to face since Sherlie's release from the state penitentiary last fall. Friends of the two have feared the results of such a meeting and have always endeavored to avoid possible trouble. However, at Red Oak the two principals in the famous Pollock diamond robbery case must come together. Red Oak May 24—In the Dennison trial yesterday a jury was secured. Judge Green ordered close segregation of the jury and also the separation of all witnesses with the exception of Mrs. Dennison, who is allowed to remain in the court room. Judge Walter I. Smith made the opening argument for the state and then charged Dennison with having conceived the plot of robbing Pollock. S. T. Cochran made the opening argument for the defense, in which he charged the Civic Federation of Omaha with the attempt to break down the reputation of Tom Dennison and, in turn, the error Cummins to allow requisition for Shercliffe is a promise of safety to him for his testimony. Judge Green allowed the reading of famous letters from Dennison to Homer Morris, Shercliffe's brother, by Judge Smith in his opening argument. W. G. Pollock, a New York diamond merchant, was placed on the stand and told the story of robbery. Red Onk, May 25—In the Dennison case yesterday, Frank Shercliffe was called to the stand and testified that he had been held up-hold. He said a mysterious "Hooker" was the go-between of Dennison and his attorney on his trial for the Pollock robbery and that Dennison told him that H. G. McMillan had promised to get his parole for Dennison. He could get it he raised to $2,000 and then Dennison put on another $500. Shercliffe told a straight story and has not yet been shaken by the defense. His cross-examination will probably last throughout today. During his examination Shercliffe charged him with attempting to fasten other crimes on him so that he might be tried for them after the present trial. Red Oak, May 26.—Shercliffe on cross-examination yesterday swore that Elmer Thomas told him that he had been a friend of the order to purify it he wanted to prove Tom Dennison a thief, a gambler and an outlaw and in league with Mayor Moores and Edward Rosewater. He also stated that Thomas made him no promise of relief from prison. Shercliffe said he had not fitting that he had been paid various sums of money by the Civic Federation of Omaha to keep him in the state until the trial should be held. Shercliffe was confronted in court by C. E. Bean, who is alleged to have secured a confession from Shercliffe not implicated in the Pollock robbery. Shercliffe was confronted by numerous charges by Attorney Cornell that he confessed his individual guilt of the Pollack robbery, but denied all of them. During the day he said: "I have made a threat to take care of myself if Dennison persisted in threatening to assassinate me, I only desire to tell the truth in this matter. My part of the partnership with Dennison was to gem diamonds and send them to him. I didn't have a conversation with Worthmore, the cheap deceiver. He did the talking and I listened." BOY HEIR TO MILLIONS. William Brandt, Born in Muscatine, Will Inherit $25,000,000. Muscatine, May 26—William Conrad Brandt, the twelve-year-old adopted son of William Zeigler, the multi millionsire who died Wednesday at his summer home in Connecticut, will fall heir to the $25,000,000 at the age of 18. The toy was born in Muscatine on July 28, 1892. His father is George Brandt, a half brother of Mr. Zeigler, and his mother a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Huttig of this city. When the child was three years old the parents became estranged and Mr. Zeigler came from the east, and the boy home with him, deepening his show of love, summer the dad was legally adopted. He was injured while playing at school a few months ago, and now is forced to use a wheeled chair but doctors say that he will recover. Col. W. H. Huttig of this city is an uncle of the heir to the Zeigler millions. His mother is now Mrs. J. and his father has grown wealth as a manufacturer of baking powder in Chicago. CRISIS AT SHELL RCCK. Local Health Board Defies State Board of Health Des Molines, May 22—A few days ago the state board of health was notified of the presence of a disease among the school children of Shell Rock, which had the appearance of the dreaded scarlet fever. Dr. F. W. Powers of Waterloo, memorial district, was ordered to investigate and make a report. He found five cases, which he pronounced scarlet fever. A petition which was sent to the board of health stating that the local board was neglecting its duty was taken up, and the local health physician who had been in office seventeen years, H. S. Hewlett, was deprived. Dr. Smith pronounced the disease a rash. Dr. Powers saw in it scarlet fever, and, with Dr. Linn of Des Molines, who accompanied him on the trip, took things in his own hands, Dr. O. Coffee of Waverley was appointed health physician and he immediately placed quarantine cards up in cases where the cases could be found. The ire of the people was at once aroused and the school board against whom much of the attack of the physicians was directed, declared publicly, individually, and severally, that they would use physical force in relieving the town of all the doctors present if they didn't immediately take a move on themselves. They would force three doctors. Dr. Coffee out of the city if he tried to fumigate the school house. Dr. Coffee afterward tried to fumigate the houses where the disease was present, but was driven from every one save two, where he was allowed entrance and proceeded to fumigate them according to the orders of the state board. The officer, were but the tinder which was being piled upon the kindling flames of public opinion. Friday night the excitement reached its zenith when Dr. Powers and Dr. Linn were stopping at a local hotel there. While in their rooms the town hall become so crowded that a mob entered the hotel building, calling the doctors names and making many threats of personal violence. The mob, made up not of the piffraff of the place, so heiligent that he so belligerant that the two doctors secured a livery rig and drove to Waverly, a few miles away. The physicians at once telephoned Attorney General Mullah to send a message to the state board, see that the rules of the state board of health are carried out. The attorney general will today make a personal investigation. Superintendent Sharpe of the schools has ordered that the orders of the state board of health. Des Moines, May 25—Attorney General Mullan said yesterday that the last news he had from Shell Rock was to the effect that the Dr. Powers of the state board of health and the city authorities had agreed that the state board had been called in number of people at Shell Rock was actually scarlet fever, and the city authorities had agreed to follow the regulations of the state board. It was otherwise learned here yesterday that the city council called in outside physicians and upon their diagnosing the disease as scarlet fever, and upon the state board of health, Dr. W. H. Smith resigned as health officer and Dr. Buttin was elected to succeed him. Dr. Powers of Waterloo visited Shell Rock again yesterday, taking with him Attorney J. F. Williams. They ordered the schools, families, and school to be recounted today. Another case of the disease, the sixth one, was guaranteed yesterday. WERE TWO MURDERED? Town of Griewold Has Sensational Murder Mystery. Griswold, May 26.—Were John C. White and his infant daughter murdered eighteen months ago and their bodies thrown in a well? White was a farmer, living six miles northwest of Griswold with his wife and small daughter. The baby, neighbors say, was an undesirable visitor to statements made by wife. A year ago last November, Al Martyn, a farm hand working for White, went to the home of a neighbor, a short horse anway, and borrowed a horse and rig, saying that he wanted to buy a horse and Oaks, where they intended taking a trip to Eurington. Since then not a member of the family has been seen. Martin disappeared six months later. The home of the family has been occupied since November 1904. Relatives of White have been quietly trying to unfathom the mysterious disappearance. Detectives have come here from Council Bluffs and are digging into a alled in well, with the discovering the remains of father and child. SIGNED NOTE IN DUSK. Farmer at Iowa City Charges That He Was Nearly Buncoed. Iowa City, May 26.—Induced in the semi-darkness to sign a bogus contract, so he says, John Scheetz, a prominent farmer, has brought suit against former county attorneys J. Justin and Wendy Kirk and J. T. Christie for $3,000 damages. In his petition Scheetz avers that these men sold him 5,000 shares of "New Bull Domming Mining Company" stock, representing that Hart was president and Zmunt secretary. Scheetz says the company never had a corporate existence, never owned a foot of mining property, never had a foot of mining property, never had the imagination of imagination of the defendants. He says he was persuaded to sign notes while it was dark and he could not see what he was signing. Hanged Himself in Store Cellar Marshalltown, May 23.—Edward H.

Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz. one-full pound, while all other Cold Water Starchs are put up in ¾-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10. The price is also because Defiance Starch is free again because Defiance chemicals. If your grocery store sells you a 12 oz. package it is because a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 oz." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. The winds of adversity have caused many a love match to flicker out. WORTH REMEMBERING There are three entirely different kinds of ingredients used in making the three different varieties of baking powders on the market, viz: (1) Mineral-Acid or Alum, (2) Bone-Acid or Phosphate, and (3) Cream of Tartar made from grapes. It is important, from the standpoint of health, to know something about these ingredients, and which kind is used in your baking powder. (1) Mineral-Acid, or Alum, is made from a kind of clay. This is mixed with diluted oil of vitriol and from this solution a product is obtained which is alum. Alum is cheap; costs about two cents a pound, and baking powder is from the mineral-Acid so made from 10 to 25c, a pound. (2) Bone-Acid, or Phosphate, is the basis of phosphate baking powders and the process is fully described in the patents issued to a large manufacturer of a phosphate powder. The U.S. Patent Office Report gives a full and exact description, but the following extract is enough: "Burned bones, after being ground, are put into freshly diluted oil of vitriol and with continual stirring and in the following proportion," etc. From this Bone-Acid phosphate baking powders are made; such powders sell from 20 to 30 cents a pound. (3) Cream of Tartar exists in all ripe grapes, and flows with the juice from the press in the manufacture of wine. After the wine is drawn off the press, it is mixed with water, and crystals of Cream of Tartar, white and very pure, separate and are collected. It differs in no respect from the form in which originally existed in the grape. Cream of Tartar, then, while the most expensive, is the only ingredient that should be used in a baking powder to act upon the soda, as its wholesome ingredient. Cream of Tartar baking powders sell at about 40 to 50 cents a pound. Such are the facts, and every one careful of the health of the family, should remember this rule:—Baking powders selling from 10 to 25 cents a pound are made of Mineral Acids; those selling from 20 to 30 cents of Bone-Acid; and those from 40 to 50 cents of Cream of Tartar made from grapes. The fools are not all dead. In fact a lot of them haven't been born. SIMPLE WALL DECORATIONS. New Material and New Ideas for the Decoration of Homes. The styles of home decorations have completely changed in the last few years, and it is pleasant to say that they, too, have changed. The was when we wung monstrous patterns printed on paper against our walls, and considered them more or less pleasant. It would hardly be fair to say that we considered them beautiful, vague and were put on. The time has come when, with our better methods for interior decoration, better effects can be secured. In wall coverings, whether they be of paint, or of Alabastine, mutely the material used to cover the wall—the thing desired is that which has the greatest covering power, as well as permanency and beauty of color. Alabastine, a wall covering ground from Alabaster rock—which is the ideal covering for a wall. The most beautiful wall decorations in the world are those which are laid on with the brush. The mural designs, frescoed designs and frescoed designs in the large cathedrals and churches, have a permanency and an art of which wall paper can a cheap way be used. We must scheme in the frescoed designs brought within the reach of the every day home. They can be done with Alabastine, which is permanent in its colors, or with a soft effect of parchment, and it has a soft effect of parchment. A great many people defer the decorating of their rooms not only because of the expense but because of the need for the solution and style brush it on the wall. That is all there is to it, and the room is perfectly clean and thoroughly renovated. Tact is keeping the other fellow from knowing what you really think about him.

Mrs. Vaz Matsoy Experiences Dangerous After Effects from Grip and Learns "Values of a Blood Hemedy." The grip leaves behind it weakened vital powers, thin blood, impaired digestion and over-sensitive nerves—a condition that makes the system an easy prey to pneumonia, bronchitis, rheumatism, nervous prostration, and even consumption. He very told by scores of victims of the grip is substantially the same. One was tortured by terrible pains at the base of the skull; another was left tired, faint and in every way wretched from anamnia or scentiness of blood; another had horrible headaches, was nervous and couldn't sleep; another was left with weak lungs, difficulty in breathing and acute neuralgia. In every case relief was sought in vain until the great blood-builder and nerve-builder Pink Pillow, for quickness and thoroughness of action known to will approach it. Mrs. Van Scoy says a statement that supports this claim. She says: "I had a severe attack of grip and, before I had fully recovered, rheumatism set in and tormented me for three months. I was in a badly run-down state. Soon after it began I was so hung for a week that I could hardly walk. I kept growing steadily worse and at last I had to give up completely and for three weeks I was obliged to keep my bed. My knees were so stiff I couldn't bend them, and my knees perfectly helpless. Then the pain began to threaten my heart and thoroughly amused me. "While I was suffering in this way I chanced to run across a little book that told about the merits of Dr. Willains' Pink pills. The statements in it impressed me and led me to buy a box. These pills proved the very thing I needed.

IN THE CHICAGO STRUGGLE Last Conference Looking Toward Peace of No Avail—Express Companies Refuse to Come to Terms With Striking Drivers. Chicago, Ill., May 24—All peace negotiations have been declared off in the teamsters' strike and indications point that the struggle is to go on to the bitter end. Already the industrial war has spread to the lumber drivers. Nearly all of the 1,800 men in this branch of industry have either been discharged or locked out, and a general tie-up of all building operations in the city is threatened. This will mean the enforced leness of 10,000 wage earners in mills, factories and those employed in building construction until the new drivers are obtained. With the union drivers employed by the lumbermen's association on a strike, it will be only a matter of a short time until outside unions will become involved in the trouble. Just as soon as the building material on hand now has been used up and an attempt is made to make deliveries with nonunion drivers the other day, the union drivers will order their men to refuse to handle the nonunion material. Unless the strike is settled within a short time the carpenters, stone masons and other affiliated organizations are bound to become involved in the difficulty. 25—Final rejection of union demands, especially those of the express drivers, was officially announced yesterday by the employers. They demanded practically unconditioned surrender. Neither side in the strike made a direct step towards peace and each was apparently waiting the next move of its opponent. The union drivers over the city, under police protection, without encountering violence. The strike in the lumber districts spread yesterday with great rapidity and practically all business of that kind is at a standstill. Some few lumber yards are still in operation and some are small as to amount to practically nothing. A number of planning mills and sash and door factories were compiled to shorten operations and by Friday at least will be compelled to close entirely if the supply of lumber is cut. The lumber yards made little effort to transact business and were waiting for drivers to be sent them by the Employers' Teaming company. A number of these, it is expected, will be at work today and business will be hummed in a small 'degree at least. One cause for the lack of energy on the part of the employers in the lumber district yesterday was that the city was not able to afford their police protection. Mayor Dunne proclaimed that the city would not night by issuing a call to 1,000 extra policemen, who will be sworn in as rapidly as applications are filed by suitable men. This will be the second 1,000 of extra policemen sworn in since the commencement of the strike. Sheriff Earrell yesterday in a briefing deputies, the largest number at any time since the beginning of the trouble. Chicago, May 26—Corneus P. Shea, president of the International Teamsters' union, was unhield yesterday by Judge Kohlasat of the Federal court in his refusal to answer questions about the murder of man, which might tend to incriminate him. Shea is now under indictment in the criminal court, and Judge Kohlasat decided that answers to some of the questions put to him might prejudice the hearing of his case, which that Bernard Mulligan, president of the Express Drivers' Union, and John Donahue, a member of the same union, had refused to answer questions which could not in any way connect them with any criminal proceedings, and they were therefore in contempt of the law. In a fall, but allowed them to remain in nominal custody in the hands of United States Marshal Ames for five days in order that the attorneys may perfect a review on habeas corpus proceedings before another federal judge. The man will be in a hotel in Chicago in charge of two deputy marshals. The strike did not spread to any great extent yesterday and there was no disorder. SHEA DOES NOT FEAR TROOPS Says That Employers Will Be Hurt Far More Than the Strikers. Chicago, May 25—Relative to the prospective calling out of the state troops, Mr. Shea said yesterday: "Let them call the troops. That will not alter the situation so far as the teamsters are concerned. The teamsters are not interfering with the operations of wagons on the streets and neither will the strike be spread to the rest of the city. We are using our best efforts to keep it within its present limits. "The troops won't act as strike breakers. It would seem to me that the business men of Chicago would not want the soldiers here. With a lot of young men accustomed to scenes of patriotism and patriotic life, life will be in danger. At any rate, thousands of people intending to come to C-Argo to buy goods will be frightened away and the effect will be serious to many business men. But personally I have nothing to say against the soldiers coming." Ship Was Sunk at Santiago Portsmouth, N. H.

He was a man cultivated scornfully to the inert figure of the minister, and exclaimed: "Even now, amid these perils, the noble lord is asleep." "I wish I were," grecaned Lord North.

Admiral Avellan, Head of Russian Adm miralty Thinks One Near St. Petersburg, May 26—Admiral Avellan, head of the Russian admiralty department, confirms The Associated Press dispatches saying Vice Admiral Robestovsky is steaming north to give battle to Admiral Togo. He considers it possible that news north to give battle to Admiral Togo have not may be received any day. In an interesting interview Admiral Avellan reaffirms the official denial of the reports that Admiral Robestovsky has broken down and asked to be relieved. Avellan says Robestovsky has been in a condition of his own health, and of the health of the crews of his ships. The constant tension and hard work of the past months have been a great strain on the admiral's health. "Even before he left," said Avellan, "he was suffering from kidney trouble and his health is no worse. His reports breathe a spirit of strength, resilience and confidence, and other reports show he has inspired his crew with the confidence of their commander. As a matter of fact, it is not Robestovsky who has suffered from the long stay in the tropics." Wm. ZIEGLER DEAD. He Was a Native of Iowa and Made Money in Baking Powder.

Died; after a lingering illness Mr. John Hill passed away at his home on upper Lawn street. Tuesday May 2, at 5:55 a.m. The deceased had been a victim of heart trouble for quite awhile, but it was not recently that he has been thought to be in any great danger. He was taken with one of his spells about 4:30 Monday evening and never recovered from it. He leaves a wife and many friends to mount his death. It was announced from the A. M.

If cheerfulness knocks for adulation, we should open our hearts wide to receive it, for it never comes inopportune. SOME WONDERFUL WOUNDS. Seen at the Front in the South African War From Mool river Sir William MacCormac, England's distinguished surgeon, who took the field with the soldiers 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 Maucer 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 lie to damage vital structures lying immediately in their path is nothing short of marvelous. 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 a hole seven inches long and three inches wide in his chest, which involved the lungs. Part of three of his hirsgs were carried away and the lung was exposed. The soldier lay in a trench on the field from 2:20 to 5 o'clock before he could be attended to. He was carried to the hospital at 12:20 o'clock that night. Another private was hit in the middle of the nose and the bullet caused out the back of the neck. He had a little headache, and some trouble in swallowing, but in ten days the wound healed and the man apparently was perfectly well.

"The most important magazine there are," the more necessary is the Review of Reviews, because it is the most in all the most important months of the world. The is flood of periodical literature that nowadays people say that the only way to keep up with it is to read it all, almost over and above this reviewing section, it has more original matter and illuminates magazines, and the most timely and important articles printed in any monthly. Probably the most useful section of all is Dr. Albert Shaw's illustrated "Progress of the World," where public events and issues are authoritative and lucidly explained in every issue.

The unique cartoon department, depicting current history in cinematic, and yet is American fiction and foliage.
