FIVE OF THE ORIGINAL FOUNDERS OF THE IOWA STATE BYSTANDER EDITORIALS. PAY YOUR HONEST DEBTS It seems to us that there is a growing disposition on the part of some of our people to beat their way, to injure the good name of the race by being dishonest or neglecting to pay their honest debts. If there is any one thing that will hurt an individual or a race, it is to be dishonest or poor pay. This is what cause many white business men in our cities to refuse to rent them desirable property or sell them pianos or goods on the installment plan. It you contract a debt be honorable enough to pay it, even if it is only a subscription to some poor colored newspaper. We have heard merchants, tailors, florists, undertakers, jewelers, dentists and doctors all say "your people won't pay their honest debts." Why is this? One reason is we contract more obligations then we can meet. Then again, society and style compels us to buy many things we could do without. Then there are people who will go in debt as long as the man will trust them, then they will FIVE OF THE ORIGINA Reading from left to right: Jeff I. leave town owing lots of bills and go to a new town to start a new credit—even our ministers do this. Is it right? Men and women, think seriously about these questions and save our race's credit and integrity. GRAND COURT H. OF J. Will convene in its 15th annual session in Davenport June 13. This society is perhaps doing the most substantial work among women, and while it is not seeking notoriety it is constantly at work. It has for its leader that noble and christian woman, Mrs. Jones of Keokuk. Everything points to an interesting as well as a largely attended session. Mesdames E. T. Banks and S. D. Miller, supported by a number of other ladies, will represent the Courts of this city. IOWA STATE BYSTANDER ANNIVERSARY. This week ends our eleventh year of the publication of the BYSTANDER. Next week we enter upon our twelfth year. While we are very grateful to our many hundred loyal friends who for all these many years have taken and paid for it, and are still willing to give it their support. Those people and the fact that they are willing to continue speaks more praise for the BYSTANDER then it ever has or can speak for itself. We have stood the storm and troubled newspaper sea that most colored journals have to stand for these eleven years—not even missing a single issue as most of our journals are subject to do. Our aim in the future shall be as it has in the past, to print the news from all societies, churches and secret orders, aid to tell the progress of the better class of the race who are striving onward and upward to higher and better things of life. The criminal class, the lychings, the quarrels --- and the fights that our people do we will leave for the white newspapers, as they delight to print the worst side of our race—we will try to hold before the public the best of our race. Thanking our many subscribers for past favors and soliciting their future support we enter upon a new year with a hope and a desire of giving the public a better newspaper. DEATH OF JUDGE TOURGEE. We overlooked the fact of mentioning the death of Judge Albion W. Tourgee who was like a consul to a foreign port. His death takes away one of the truest and best friends the colored race ever had, an able defender of our race on the bench, on the platform, in the press and in the battle field, he never yielded to the wrongs perpetrated, although raised in the hot-bed of prejudice. Born in Ohio, he fought for the Union in the slaveholders' rebellion, taking part in the first battle of Bull Run, was taken prisoner and confined for several months in various confederate prisons. At the close of the war he established the Union Register at Greensboro, N.C., which advocated Afro-American suffrage. In 1866 AL FOUNDERS OF THE IOWA Logan, J. E. Todd, Wm. Coalson, he was elected judge of the supreme court of North Carolina by a large majority. His district was the worst of all of the ku klux regions of the state, and because of his denunciations of this organization several attempts were made on his life. Judge Tourgee wrote a number of books bearing on the race question. His work, "A Fool's Errand," published in 1879, leaped at once to a popularity which has been equaled by only one: american work, "Uncle Tom's Cabin." We say for the benefit of our readere that this man's letters, written for the Chicago Inter Ocean entitled "The Bystander's Notes" that we named our paper the Bystander. May the members of our race ever remember this true friend in song, poetry and history. Very Low Excursion Rates to San Francisco, Los Angeles, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle, Etc.

F. McMeiI are pleased to know that he is very much improved to that extent he is able to sit up for a few hours each day. We notice in the last issue of the Bystander the publication of the program to be rendered at the annual S. S. convention, and also that Clinton will be the objective point to which the delegates will gather. The Bystander has evidently beeninformed along that line, as Clinton will not entertain the convention this year. The presiding elder was informed to that effect sometime ago. We make this explanation that the people in the district may not become confused. Mrs. Scott, mother of F. E. McNeil, arrived Sunday from her home in Savannah, Ga., called here on account of the severe illness of Mr. McNeil. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Thompson are happy over the advent of a little daughter, which came to gladden their home a few days ago. S. C. Smith of Waterloo is in the city visiting with his family. Mrs. S. C Smith left for the South last week, in response to a call on account of the serious illness of a sister. If we are to judge the summer by the weather of the past few days, the indications are that we will have all the summer we want and some to spare. SUPERIOR. WIS., BUDGETARIAN. A cold spell visited Superior Sunday evening, making it feel as if winter had come again. Died- Thos. Sidney an old and well known citizen of Superior passed away Tuesday morning May 30, at St. Marys hospital, after a short illness of consumption. His funeral was held Sunday afternoon from Le Sages undertaking parlors. Rev. Wade officiated. It was one of the largest funerals held in Superiorfor sometime, as Mr. Sidney was well thought of by all who knew him. He leaves a mother and daughter besides a host of friends to mourn his death. Mrs. Geo. H. Wade and daughter Beatus joined a party at Duluth Thursday where they left at 10 a. m. for Two Harbors, Minn., for an outing.

"A Noble Outcast" will be rendered at the German hall Tuesday evening, June 29th, for benefit of the A. M. E. church and pastor.

Alcohol From Pearl A company has recently been or organized at Rendsburg, Prussia, for the purpose of distilling alcohol from peat. The company is now building a distillery which it hopes to be able to put in operation some time during this month. According to its process, the company will be able to distill alcohol cheaper from peat than it can be obtained from other substances and will, therefore, be able to sell its product for fuel purposes. Regulates Baptism of Children The Sw. government has decided no longer permit parents to baptize their offspring by fantastic names. This law has just been exercised at St. Gall with regard to two children one of whom was baptized May 1 while the other had been named by its Italian progenitors "Ribello" rebel or revolutionary. The names were condemned and the children have been legally rebaptized. The World as We Look at It The World as We Look at it. When we look at the world in a narrow way, how small it seems! When we look at it in a wide way, how mean it is! When we look at it selfishly, how selfish it is! But, when we look at it with a broad, generous and helpful spirit, what a beautiful world it is, and what wonderful people we find in it!—Boston Christian Register. AS TRUE AS GOSPEL Speak well of your friend, of your enemy, say nothing. He who says what he likes will hear what he does not like. A man's manners are the mirror in which he shows his portrait.

The Connecticut legislature rejects woman suffrage by a vote of 111 to 29. How ungallant! A 13-year-old boy in California has written a melodrama. This is painful in one so young. A paragon is a woman who always tells the truth about her love affairs. There aren't any paragons. As King Peter is unable to negotiate a loan, he will probably have to stand off the landlady a few weeks longer. Yawning is reported to be a healthful exercise, but people who depend upon it alone are not likely to get very far. Eddison says an inventor is a bulldog with a poetic temperament. This is quite a tribute to the poetic temperament. The case of a Pennsylvania man who drank water and died will inspire a great many individuals to cultivate crimson beaks. Boston leads the country in the consumption of tea. Had the most famous tea party on record once, you may remember. Canadians claim the north pole as their property. There is no evidence to show that they can claim it by right of discovery. The newly discovered clitoris of strength will be a godsend to the man who wants to make a garden and to the father of twins. The eastern tourist who reported that he shaved with a razorback bog every morning he was in Georgia was probably exaggerating.

Harry Lehr's lawyers have instructed him not to talk for publication. It will be impossible, perhaps, to prevent his doing things for publication. Regardless of the old saying that there is nothing new under the sun the Atlantic devotes a good deal of space to an article about new forms of sin. The Washington Post says "Wall street men must live." A diet of lamb is held to be absolutely essential to existence in that New York jungle. The man who has successfully crossed a potato and a tomato and called it a potato should now try to cross corn and beans and grow succoth. Pheidonorself has been dethroned. We hope, since he has nothing else to do, that he will look up the records now and try to find out how to spell his name. The Minneapolis Journal sees signs of an impending revolution. It is against the boiled shirt and starched collar. The signs are in the air and on the heir. A Philadelphia girl risked burning to death in her home recently while making her toilet until the last ribbon was died. Talk about herolism on the battlefield! Paris medical men warn women not to use perfumes, as they are made up mostly from injurious chemicals, nowadays. Sorry to say it, but musk is still the real thing. If the Parama mosquitoes are all they are reported to be the government is making a mistake in not breaking them to harness and employing them in the work of excavation. Frogs legs are chicken, dead rabbits are venison, the Treasury department says, chicken salad is veal salad, French scientists have made artificial eggs. Pass us the real potatoes, please. The authorities down at Newport are preparing to tax the rich people who have for the purpose of escaping taxation given up their legal residences in New York. Oh, but this is a heartless world. Why doesn't somebody suggest to that horizontal wizard, Mr. Luther Burkau, who shows such wonderful ability in producing new fruits and vegetables by combination, the idea of grafting the strawberry on the prune?

Omaha Policy King Is Found to Be Not Guilty. JURY HELD SHORT SESSION Two Hours of Deliberation Are Sufficient to End One of the Most Sensational Trials in the History of the Hawkeye State. Red Oak, June 6.—Tom Dennison, the Omaha politician, was acquitted by the jury last night. The jury returned its decision at 11:15 p. m. The verdict was handed to the bailiff by Foreman George T. Cooper and then given to Judge George who read the momentous words, "Not guilty," at 11:23 p. m. Immediately on hearing the verdict Attorney George Egan grabbed Tom Dennison and hugged and kissed him several times. Then Egan started to congratulate the jury, followed by Dennison who heavily shook the hand of counsel and most officers. Attorneys Council and Jundin also congratulated each jurist. None of the attorneys for the state were in the court room at the time the verdict was read but all the court officers were in attendance and about Mrs. Dennison anxiously waited for the verdict at Hotel Johnson. The jury was out two hours and a quarter. Two jurors out of twelve at the beginning voted against acquittal. Pressman Smith completed his argument at $8.20. Judge Green then read instructions and the jury retired at $8.50 to deliberate on the verdict. The court room was packed to the doors for the night session. Finally dressed women predominate. The heat was almost unbearable. Attorney Connell calmly accrued E. Thames's attorney for the Omaha Civic federation, in court yesterday of having dynamited his own home in Omaha last November to secure sympathy for himself and hatred against Tom Dennison. Thom, as turned white with race at the charge and hissed at Ommell. "You lie you lie." Judge Green ordered the judge from the court room, but before going Thomas apologized to the court and Connell did later. In the anteroom, the two men came together again and but for the presence of a deputy sheriff might have gotten into personal combat. Thomas kicked at Connell as he came from the court room but did not touch him. Then followed an exchange of many caths and much bitter abuse of one another. Thongs. Invited Connell to caths and much bitter differences, but Connell calmly replied that he would wait until he got back to Omaha. CANNOT HAVE SHERCLIFFE Governor Cummins Denies Writ of Colorado Authorities Des Moines, June 7—The state of Colorado will not try Frank Sherliffe for murder. Sheriff Horrigan of Leadville presented his papers to Governor Cummins and they were refused. Governor, acting as did some time before, did not issue paper for any man where the only evidence of guilt was an information sworn out before a justice of the peace. Sheriff Horrigan left immediately for Colorado and the incident is probably closed from that end. The officer made a statement to the newspaper men after his papers had been refused that he wi* not in the case of any man or combination but that they were certain that Sherliffe had committed murder and they desired him for this reason and this alone. CONFESSES TO MURDER. Insane Patient in Davenport Hos ental Admits Deed Davenport, June 7—Frank Carter, an insane patient at Mercy hospital, has made a confession that clears up the mystery surrounding the death of Robert Parks, whose charred body was found in the ruins of his home Dixon, in the town of Dixon people at the time held that Parks was murdered and his house set on fire by the murderers to conceal the deed. That insane a couple of years afterwards, and now says that he killed Parks and that it was the weight of the terrible secret that unbalanced his mind.

Des Mothes, June 6.—After three wee s of intense suffering, induced by her own attempt to end her existence, Sarah Kuhn died at the state penitentiary at Anamasa in 1905, in self destruction is as yet unknown to the officers of the prison and will probably remain a mystery. Three weeks ago, bent as she has been for some time past upon itself, deftly obtained in obtaining possession of some poison, whose action when swallowed was similar to concentrated lye. Immediately upon the discovery of her action the prison authorities made all possible haste to get away, and the latter pronounced the case hopeless, the membrane of the throat and stomach being too badly burned to allow recovery. Her death occurred at the prison after most intense suffering, the lining of the stomach ceiling off in patches, and pronouncement. Sarah Kuhn was probably the most noted woman prisoner that ever occupied a cell in an Iowa penitentiary. She was sentenced to Anamosea for life, January 8, 1901, charged with the murder of her husband, September 14, 1901. She was sentenced to the end of the sensational trial to the supreme court, which body uphold the finding of the lower tribunal. Since that time the case has been before each session of the legislature, she being an applicant for a pardon. Sarah Kuhn was the year 1902 schoolmate. She was young and beautiful. He aged and crippled. They left Delta, Keokuk county, on the evening of September 4, 1900, driving towards What Cheer. Kuhn had imbibed of beer, afterwards found to contain strychnine, and died on the road, while an attempt was being made to procure medical aid.

ACTS IN HAGENBECK SHOWS Leopard Tamed to Ride as Jockey— Frog Face in Horseback Show Some Feats in Hagenbeck Show. Des Moines, June 6.—The coming noes Moines on Monday, June 12 of "The Carl Hagenbeck Trained with Ahnasnow promises to present a prodigious show." The leopard is infamously conspicuous in being the most snacking and vindictively treacherous of all the fellas. Herefore no trainer has ever been able to turn his back upon one for an instant without running imminent risk of death or mutilation from its sharp fangs. Hagenbeck took it in hand how changed have become its disposition and danceric characteristics. We now see it doing what may be termed "A Jungle Jockey Act" upon the back of a white and black spotted Shelted pony, which crerlst it would have throttled with bloodsucking faws, and the pretty erstwhile it would have accepted him as a brother artist. A magnificent black-mained MT. at las lion, riding a blue ribbon white Arabian steed, with a balance, precision and variety of movement that was beyond the reach of anyone from the circus school. A nervously timed thoroughbred career in fearless gaiety under a living burden, the mere secrest from which would once have driven him mad with terrestrial fury, has rendered making a cantering comrade instead of a victim of a helpless creature, upon which his species have ever preved, is a sensational sight to be long remembered, and another sensation of Carl Hagenbeck's genius, in dealing with the brute creation.

Henry Lochy an old German, a bosom friend of DuBois, was the only man who knew the secret of the dead contractor, and to whom had been confided the information he had sent DuBois to the reentrant. Lochy, who had evaded the service of the subpoena for days, was brought into court yesterday morning by the sheriff and told the secret which was supposed to have been held by Dr. Murray. The court yesterday had never been divulged. Lochty testified that DuFols frequently gambled and spent money extravagantly. Just before his death DuFols had confided in his wife that he had given the address of each. It was on his instructions that Lochty sent the mysterious telegrams which brought Mrs. Mary DuFols of Denver and Mrs. John DuFols of Denver to join Mrs. Victoria DuFols of Des Moines. He had first signed a fictitious name to the mysterious telegram, but later signed his true name. He said the only reason he leapt the fence was that he wanted to become involved in the case.

MILK CRUST ON BABY. Lost All His Hair—Scratched Till Blood Run—Grateful Mother Tells of His Cure by Cuti-cura for 75c. "When our baby boy was three months old he had the milk crust very badly on his head, so that all the hair came out, and it itched so bad he would scratch until the blood ran. I got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment. I applied on him and put a boy cap on his head, and before I had used half of the box it was entirely cremied, his hair commenced to grow nicely again, and he has had no return of the trouble.

A New York restaurant man has discovered that a cup or coffee makes a tippet barometer. At breakfast drop a few fumps of sugar into the coffee. Bubbles form as the sugar dissolves, and if they remain quiet in the center of the cup, a bright, clear day is almost certain. If the bubbles move toward the edge of the cup, and there above, cloudy or rainy weather is likely for the next twenty-four hours. Thought She Couldn't Live Moravia, N. Y., June 5—Mr. Benjamin Wilson, a highly respected resident of this place, came very near losing his wife and now that she is cured and restored to good health his gratitude knows no bounds. He says: "My wife has suffered everything with Sugar Diabetes. She has been sick four years. She doctored with two good doctors but kept growing worse. The doctors said she could not live. She failed from 200 pounds down to 130 pounds. This was her weight when she began to use Dodd's Kidney Pills, and now she weighs 190, is well and feeling stronger every day." "She used to have rheumatism so bad that it would raise great bumps all ever her body and this is all gone too." "Dodd's Kidney Pills are a God-send to those who suffer as my wife did. They are all that saved her. We can't praise them enough." To prevent a shrinkage or expansion of doors and windows, the wood used in them is now seasoned by electric tricity.

A few years ago the Eskimo possessed the most remarkable place of worship in the world. It was a seakalm church, Forty scalkins were stretched over a framework, and in this tent, eighteen by twelve, services were held every Sunday. But the church came to an untimely end. One hard winter the dogs of that region, being half dead, abandoned only the frame was left. The Eskimos have since erected a dog-proof tabernacle. A red wood tree, estimated to be over 330 years old, was blown over during a recent storm in Brooklet, Cal. Ten feet from the top of the tree and at a distance of 165 feet from the tree, the wood, which had been the nest of a woodpecker. In this hole had grown a sturdy, three-stalked huckleberry bush, two feet tall, its roots, extending six feet into the heart of the tree, and the roots of the redwood. The huckleberry bush had flourished and borne fruit. FEED YOU MONEY. Feed Your Brain, and It Will Feed You Money and Fame. "Ever since boyhood I have been especially fond of meats, and I am convinced I ate too rapidly, and failed to masticate my food properly. "The result was that I found myself, a few years ago, afflicted with ailments of the stomach and kidneys, which interfered seriously with my business. "At last I took the advice of friends and I began to eat Grape-Nuts instead of the heavy meats, etc., that had constituted my former diet. "I found that I was at once benefited by the change, that I was soon relieved from the heart-burn and the indigestion that used to follow my meals, that the pains in my back from my kidney affection had ceased, showing that those organs had been healed, and that my nerves, which used to be unsteady, and my brain, which was slow and lethargic from a heavy diet of meats and greasy foods, had, not in a moment, but gradually, and none the less surely, been restored to normal health, and my nerves was so sharp and my brain and thinking faculties are quicker and more acute than for years past. "After my old style breakfasts I used to suffer during the foremost from a feeling of weakness which bindered me seriously in my work, but since I have begun to use Grape-Nuts food I can work till dinner time with all ease and comfort."

UKASE HAS BEEN ISSUED Czar Confers Responsibility Upon Gen. Trepoff—He is Instructed to Take Steps to Prevent interference With Established Regime. St. Petersburg, June 5.—The Russian government has shown that it has not weakened in this hour of disaster. Instead of yielding to the stormy demands which the radicals hoped Admiral Rojustensky's defeat would force the government to grant, the emperor issued a ukase Sunday conferring greatly increased powers on Governor General Trepoff, making his assistant minister of the interior in place of Major General Ryazelsky, who is made a senator; also chief in chief of the military, to mander of corps. Governor Trepoff is given authority to control all assemblies and congresses, to suspend indefinitely all societies, legions and other bodies manifesting pernicious activities and to take all other steps necessary to preserve order so as to maintain order. He has resisted regime and to suppress the revolutionary propaganda. This atlas intrusts almost dictatorial powers to the head of the imperial police to control the agitation now almost peremptarily demanding a constitution, representative government and the sure vital principles of the attorney. The document is of the deepest importance in the present state of Russia and indicates that the government, while steadily proceeding in its plans, has not yet made promises contained in the rerot of March 3, is determined not to be swerved from its purpose by the pressure of military and naval disasters, its own time and as specially as possible its legislative body on which the Ionian-german commission has been working. In it may also be read the intimation that the war will continue and that the government may not be submitted to a zemsky sober. SEPARATED FROM OLD SWEDEN Christiana, June 8- King Oscar's refusal to sanction the bill passed by the storthing providing for a separate consular service for Norway culminated yesterday in the passage of a resolution by the storthing declaring the dissolution of the union of Sweden and Norway and that the king has refused to sanction the bill, though the action was anticipated. It caused considerable excitement in this city on account of the anxiety to what action the king would take. The crisis became acute May 26 when his majesty after three months rested during the regency was concluded to Crown Prince Gustave resumed the reigns of office. The council of state then surmounted his the consular bill which he May 28 refused to sanction arguing that any action must receive the sanction of the mixed council. The Norwegian council of state thereupon resigned and the king refused to accept their resignations as in view of the state of public opinion it was impossible to maintain. Demonstrations were held throughout the country indoling the action of the council of state. The consular bill will apparently; of little importance was designed to open the whole question of foreign affairs to manage independently of Sweden.

Paris, June 9—The crisis between Norway and Sweden is widely discussed by officials and diplomats here, the Swedish legislation points out that the storkhunting acted before ensuitation by the Norwegian mentioned as being strong with the republican element of Norway in case King Oscar declines to permit a prince of the royal family to become king of Norway. The Swedish offence of the royal family is a member of the royal family can accept owing to their loyalty to King Oscar.

GOOD PROSPECTS OF SUCCESS Pending Negotiations Assume a Favorable Phase—Peace Not Yet in Sight, But There is More Ground for Hope of Successful Termination Washington, June 9—The caar has at last been heard from here and the result is not unfavorable to peace. In his recent audience with Mr. Meyer, the American ambassador, the caar indicated a willingness to take under advisement the subject of peace and expressed a warm appreciation of the friendly words of Mr. Meyer, speaking as the personal envoy of the president. The recognition of Mr. Meyer was characterized by the greatest cordiality and friendliness and the ambassador's cablegram to the presideat giving a general account of the audience is of a distinctly hopeful tone. Mr. Meyer did not bring to the St. Petersburg government an offer of mediation, but a "friendly offer of good will" as it was described by the ambassador, gratifying to the caar. Further than this it is impossible to record the character of the cablegram. Mr. Takahira, the Japanese minister, called by appointment at the White house yesterday afternoon and spent half an hour with the president. He was still unable to give the press a statement about Japan's peace terms, but it is believed that he was acquainted in a general way with the hopeful tone of Mr. Meyer's disgrace, and with this as a lever the hope is expressed here that the milieu will meet the Japanese officials. Fortunately he is making to assist in bringing about an early peace. Earlier in the afternoon Baron Kaneko, the Japanese financial adviser, was received by the president and discussed the whole situation. Euron received directly or indirectly any request for a statement of peace terms. It was indicated that Japan would be loath to give any sucia statement until convinced that Russia was prepared to take up the question of meeting with the intention of ending the war. It is not expected that the situation will change radically in the next day or two. Until some indication comes from Japan of her attitude in the light of the spirit shown by the ear, the negotiations can hardly be exerted, though friendly, though friendly, influences are being brought to hear on Japan to be moderate in her demands. It has been pointed out that Japan and Russia always must be close neighbors, and that if Japan is unreasonable now in her triumph she might be forced to give up. What effect these representations may have on the milado is, of course, only conjectural. ROOSEVELT AND WILLIAM Germany and United States Have Finger in Negotiations Berlin, June 9.—The interview Buron Spee von Stenberg, the ambassador at Washington, has had with President Roosevelt and the cable correspondence between the ambassador and the foreign office here resulted in the president and emperor on the subject of peace and were nearly of the same opinion as to the method of drawing Russia and Japan into negotiations. The joint view appeared to be that others, including France and Great Britain, ought to countunity of views among all of countries on the subject of peace and were slow and cumbersome business and would impress Russia as taking on the character of outside pressure. It is precisely what, as the Associated Press is informed, President Roosevelt and Emperor William wish to make for the government of Russia to take the initiative and sought only that he should avail himself of the American and German government for making the first step toward peace easier. The Russian government was informed through Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador to the United States, and Alenselebnik, the German ambassador at St. Petersburg, through Mr. Osten-Sacken, the Russian ambassador at Berlin, of what the United States and Germany were seeking so that Emperor Nicholas would be asked to peace, but only as telling friends that before taking grave a step on their advice the Russian government might properly and naturally desire to know through those friends how Japan regarded peace, Japan, it is believed in government, would try to lay down specific peace conditions, far more reluctant than at any stage of the war, because preparator has been made to carry the campaign, to Russian territory, take Vladivostok and Harbin and then exclude Russia from the war, because her high conditions are complied with. It is a crude express of what is thought to be Japan's immediate policy. SHEA LODGED IN JAIL. Chicago, June 6—Cornellina P.

HOT FLASHES AND SINKING SPELLS CONQUERED AT LAST. Mrs. Murphy Tells Her Yellow-Sufferers How She Got Rid of Serious Troubles by Simple Home Treatment. "I had been bothered for several years," said Mrs. Murphy, "by stomach disorder, and finally I became very weak and nervous. Flashes of heat would pass over me, and I would feel as if I was sinking down. At such times I could have little household work, but would have to live down and afterwards I would have very trying nervous spells." "Didn't you have a doctor?" she was asked. "Yes, I consulted several doctors but my health did not improve. One day a friend asked me why I did not try Dr. Williams' Pill Pinks. She assured me that they had proved of the greatest benefit in the case of her daughter. In fact, she praised me so enthusiastically that my husband got me a box." "Before I had taken half of the first box my condition was greatly improved, "so quickness with which they reached and relieved all my troubles was really surprising. After I had used only three boxes I had no more heat-flashes or weak spells. Thanks to them, I have become a well woman. My life happens at No. 1903 Force street, Fort Wayne, Indiana. Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, the remedy which she found so satisfactory, furnish directly to the blood the elements that give vigor to every tissue of the body. They can be depended on to revive failing strength, and to banish nervousness. Their tonic properties are absolutely unsurpassed. As soon there is agag, or dizziness, or pior, or poral, or palpitation, or disordered regularity, or restlessness, or pain regularities of any kind these famous pills should be used. They have cured the most obstinate cases of anemia, dyspepsia, rheumatism, neuralgia, nervous prostration and even partial paralysis.

This is because they contain only 12 oz. in other brands, containing only 12 oz. in which they won't be able to sell first, because the contents contain 16 oz. for the same money.

Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocery trader tells you a 12 oz. package it is because he has 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 let-ter figures "16 oz." Demand Defiance and starch time and money and the acceptance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks.

Just Discrimination in Railway Rates, All railroad men qualified to speak fon the subject in a responsible way are likely to agree with President Samuel Spencer of the Southern Rall- way when he says: “There is no dk vision of opinion as to the desirability of stopping all secret or unjustly dis: criminatory devices and practises of whatsoever character.” Mr. Spencer, in speaking of “un- fustly discriminatory” rates and de vices, makes a distinction which is at once apparent to common sense. There may be discrimination in freight rates Which is just, reasonable and impera- tively required by the complex com- mercial and geographical conditions wth “whlch expert Yels washers have fo deal. To abolish such open and honest discrimination might paralyze the industries of cities, states and whole sections of our national terri- tory. This distinction between just and unjust discrimination is clearly recog: nized in the conclusions of the inter- national Railway Congress, published yesterday: “tas iffe should be based on commer clat principles, taking into Geeount the Sheed conditions wirich beat upon the Ghmmercial value of the services rene dered.

Hines of Louisville showed in his remarkable testimony the other day before the Senate Committee at Washington, to erystallize flexible and justly discriminatory rates into fixed government rates which cannot be changed except by the intervention of some government (ribunal, and by this. very process to increase “the templa- tion to depart from the published rate and the lawful rate in order to meet some overpowering and urgent com- mercial condition."—New York Sun.

A man died at the Limerick Infirmary at the age of sixty-four who had been brought there when twenty-four years old, crippled for life by exposure in a boat after shipwreck. But in the forty years he had learned thoroughly Greek, Latin, French, Spanish and English, and had amused himself by reading the clasics in all these languages, besides closely following the events of his time. How to Be Happy A Frenchwoman married to an Englishman, contributing to a correspondence in a contemporary on "Why Married Life is Dull?" says: "When my husband prefers to be out alone, I smilingly 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-handedness, or its equivalent, is said to be very common in birds and animals. Parrots seize objects with the left claw by preference.
