The city of Moline, Ill., is undoubtedly the greatest city in America for manufacturers, factories, work shops and machine shops. We are sorry that we cannot begin to name one half of the large establishments. The Deere Manufacturing Co., the Moline Wagon Co., the Moline Plow Works, the Deere-Munsur Co., John Deere Co., the Malleable Iron Works, the Moline Sash Co., the Moline Carriage Co. and many other large establishments. For miles and miles one can ride through manufacturing districts and pass giant buildings covering many acres. Most of the colored people are employed in these shops, nearly every establishment having from 10 to 100 colored workmen, and some have skilled workmen who have been with their company from fifteen to twenty years. Most of the colored people here own their own homes and are doing well. Mr. Gorman's folks have completed the remodeling of their house, which now makes a beautiful home. Mr. S. B. and B. F. Walkup both own their own home; S. B. is working at the school house. Garnett and B. U. Maxwell both have lovely homes with yards well kept. B. H. Pollard's folks have just moved to a ne w coottage.

One year ago the Rev. H. W. Porter and family arrived in Des Moines to take charge of the Union Congregational church, subject to the call of the people. Rev. Porter was born in the historical town of Marletta, Ga., at the foot of the Kennesaw mountain, and was educated at Atlanta university, Atlanta, Ga., and at Talladega college, Talladega, Ala., two of the institution noted for the training of young men and women for the duties of life; in short, to be men and women. Rev. Porter is a mechanic, and with his own efforts working during vacations completed his education. He was pastored at Marion, Ala., and Knoxville, Tenn., and for two years was chaplain and teacher at the Haines Institute, Augusta, Ga. His stay with the Union Congregational church as pastor can only be shown in the work which has been accomplished under his administration. The membership has more than doubled itself and all departments of the work have been active. The Sunday school has an average attendance of forty-five and an active corps of teachers under the efficient leadership of Supt. J. L. Thompson. The Men's League, with Mr. Gus Watkins as president, is one of the most important features of the work, and it has done more to unite the men of the city in brotherly love and point them to the duties of real citizenship than any organization of the city. Then the Woman's Missionary Society, under the able leadership of Mrs. H. E. Jacobs, has flourished and grown; also the Athenian Literary society for the young people, led by H. W. Hughes, the efficient president. Under the leadership of Rev. Porter we have paid for a lot at the cost of $1,200, paid all other indebtedness, and the church is now ready to begin a new church building, which when completed will cost about $5,000. The entire work during the construction of the building will be under the supervision of Rev. Porter, who will lay the first brick in the building, and many throughout the building before it is completed. In all of our deliberations there has been complete harmony and peace between pastor and members, and all work has been for the good of each other. Rev. Porter has done everything possible to prove to the people that Jesus Christ is the only head of the church, and that all business of the church must be transacted by the members of the church and in the spirit of Christ, who is chief among them. Rev. Porter, because of his manly Christian spirit, has won the respect of the people of Des Moines, both white and colored, and he stands openly for all which pertains to true manhood and womanhood, and believes that each individual should not fall victim to circumstances, but master whatever comes before them, and let their motto be "there is no such word as can't. On next Sunday evening the church will celebrate Rev. Porter's first anniversary in this place of worship with a special program, consisting of singing, speaking and short talks by members and friends of the church.

If we as a race, expect to gain, In the business world our place attain: tait; We must travel the road our forepar- ents trod, The Negro must closer get to God. If we as a race expect to stand On equal terms in this freedom land, I wish to state and it may seem odd, The Negro must closer get to God. If we expect man burning to cease, That reminds us of a cannibal feast; To think 'tis easy—to do 'tis hard, The Negro must closer get to God. If we as a race would like to see The Negroes dwell in unity. The only way this problem to solve The Negro must closer get to God. If we would have our girls to be, The highest type of purity. Give them the Bible—take from the card; And entreat them to closer get to God. If we would save our boys from ruin And honest living earn. Keep them from the drunkard's ward; Teach them to closer get to God. It has been said by man of old. Who were righteous—men who loved the Lord. Whose remains doth rest beneath the sod; Ethiopia shou'd stretch forth her hand to God. If we expect to make Heaven ours, Walk the golden streets and Paradise roam. We must travel the road that Jesus trod; We must get nearer, near, yes closer to God. [Mr Brown's home is in Henderson, Ky., and he is less than 18 years of age. He is a friend of Col.

MUTINY IS MOVING APACE Russian War Office Does Not Know of Action — Entire Caucasus Up in Rebellion at the Mutiny of Kniaz Potemkine Crew—Police Powerless Odessa, July 7.—It is reported that the battleship Kniaz Potemkine has been blown up near the Theodosis. NEWS ALARMING. Entire Caucasus is Up in Arms in Sympathy. With Mutineers. St. Petersburg, July 7—Sure news as can be seen in the Black sea and Caucasus during the day was extremely alarming. The whole Crimean peninsula is on the verge of revolt and anarchy reigns in the mountains of the Caucasus from Batoum to Baku. At Theodosia, the workmen are backing the mutineers. The crews of several ships in the harbor have joined the mutineers and the well to do class of the population has fled in panic. According to reports current in St. Petersburg, four torpedo boats with volunteer crews on board have sailed for Theodosia to sink the Kniaz Potemkine, but the reports lack confirmation and must be accepted with reserve. The Stemilemia, which actually sailed for Theodosia, has that purpose and missed her quarry at Kustendji, left Barna yesterday. Several boats which Lewis Nixon built are at Vesastopol, completed and might be used. Mr. Nixon himself grills the grams dispatched to him remain unanswered. This does not indicate cause for alarm so far as he personally is concerned, but it is probably due to the censorship. However, it tends to form the extreme gravity of the situation. Telegrams from the Caucasus, where a state bordering on anarchy has existed for a month, says the news of the mutiny on board the Kotai Potempa, a Japanese warship, was the signal for a general movement with which troops and police are absolutely powerless to cope Railroad traffic in all regions of the country are feeling horseback and all kinds of vehicles over the mountain roads and trails. Almost consternation prevails in official circles here. RUSSIA WANTS ARMISTICE Has Formally Signified Her Desire to President. St. Petersburg, July 6. — The situa- tion of the armoris is as follo- ward. Russia has formally signified to President Roosevelt her desire for a lasting peace, not only by the appointment of plenipotentiaries who will be accompanied by eminent experts fully empowered to conclude a treaty of peace, but also by respective governments, but as a final step has indicated her readiness to suspend hostilities. She has avoided formally asking for an arm's tice as a matter of pride but under the circumstances Russia could hardly go further than Japan. Japan she known has not yet, for her attitude, or if she has Russia up to this afternoon has not been so informed. In diplomatic circles the most earnest hope is expressed that Japan will consent, both for the sake of avoiding further bloodshed in Manchuria, and for Japan to vent a catastrophe in Russia, which may shake the Romanoff throne and appall the world by its horrors. WINDY CITY MAYOR QUITS THE FIGHT Chicago, July 7—Mayor Dunne was abandoned immediate municipal ownership and operation of the street car lines. Throwing up his hands, Chicago's municipal ownership mayor and city council agreed that the scheme of immediate public ownership and operation of the traction lines is impractical. In a message an independent private ownership corporation, whose only claim to the name "Municipal" is that it is to be managed by a director composed of the city, instead of the stockholders. The mayor went farther than that. He suggested that the council give this private corporation a properly safeguarded twenty year franchise termitable at the will of the city by the mayor. The mayor of the so-called "Municipal" company at the cash value then to be determined by appraisal. SANTA FE CASE IN COURT. Railway Contempt Proceedings Arc Begun at Kansas City.

County and Farmers' Mutual Exempted From Tax, But State Companies Must Pay It — Legislative Classification Not Unconstitutional Des Moines, July 6 — Judge James A. Howe in district court yesterday sustained the demurrier of State Treasurer Gilbert S. Gilbertson to the suit brought by the Iowa Mutual Tornado Insurance company to recover taxes exacted of the company. The case is a test, fourteen companies having agreed to unite in fighting the present action. It will be carried to the supreme court. They contend that the state in its taxation or state mutuals and not county mutuals makes an unjust and illegal discrimination. The state mutuals charged that the section of the code providing for this discrimination was unconstitutional because of being class legislation. Judge Howe in his opinion holds that the tax mentioned in the section is more of a license or business tax as distinguished from a tax on property and that the state has a right to say that companies doing business in the entire state shall pay so much while the state has no right to make the institutions of a county shall not be taxed. The classification which the legislature has made as to county mutuals is based upon area or extent of territory. It is provided that an insurance association, organized under the laws of this state, doing business in a county, or in a county and the other counties contiguous thereto, shall not be taxed but that if it does business generally throughout the state it shall be taxed. The classification which the legislature has made as to fraternal beneficialy associations is based upon their fraternal character.

Spetman, Council Bluffs Grocer, is Thought to Have Drowned. Council Bluffs, July 3. "The hat and umbrella of w. C. Spetman, a well known Council Bluffs grocer, were found on the bank of the Missouri river, where the bank of the Illinois Central bridge yesterday, by Edward Sharpe, a 15-year-old boy. Young Sharpe had gone to the river to see an excursion boat pass by the bank, in the mall of the bank, followed then all of the came upon the tokens indicating a suicide. There is no doubt here that Spetman ended his life. He had been sick for a long time, and inquiring of the bank, followed then all of he had been suffering from a tumor on the brain. This is thought to have finally driven him to his death in the waters of the river. So far as is known his business affairs were in good shape. The loss of $50 has been offered for the recovery of the body. Recently Spetman attempted to throw himself off a morning trolley car crossing the Missouri river bridge, with supposed suicidal intent, but was restrained from doing 80. ABRESTS IN PRATT CASE.

On the strength of the report, the coroner's jury reconvened yesterday and returned a verdict charging Mrs. Pratt, William Ginsburg, their hired man, with the murder. Sheriff Risely went to the Pratt farm yesterday afternoon and placed Mrs. Pratt under arrest and locked the house. The account of the prominence of the Pratt family, excitement runs high. BOYS BURN TO DEATH. Four and Five Year Old Lads Set Fire to House. Seymour, July 6.—The residence of Samuel Squillman of this city was burned at 3 o'clock yesterday after the 4-year-old child of George Billard, a neighbor, perished.

The charred remains were recovered. Baby Boy Toddles Into Well. Des Moines, July 6.—While his mother was busy about the house, the 2 year old baby boy of Mr. and Mrs. Allen Cunningham, on Hollins street, attempted to peer down the hole, attempted to peer down the hole, lost his balance and fell in head first. There the agonized mother found him a few moments later. She could only see his little dress floating on the water. The well is but fourteen inches in diameter and the baby was drowned before J. Sullivan was able to rescue it. Chicken Bone Chusser Death Des Moines, July 6—With one end of a chicken leg in his mouth the two year old son of Elijah Hull, 503 South East Fourth street, stumbled and fell. The protruding end of the bone struck the floor and an arm broke in throat. The child bled to death before aid could be secured.

WHITE IS FOUND IN NEBRASKA Des McInnes, July 2.—On the 28th it was announced that Virgil White, the young attorney who had mysteriously disappeared from this city earlier in the month, leaving the impression that he had been drowned, had been found on a farm near Defiance. J. C. Hume, a law partner, went to Defiance, where he met White, and after an interview, in which White positively refused to return to Des Moines, Hume went with White to Council Bluffs. Leaving White at a hotel in that city Mr. Hume returned to Des Molines and informed Fred White, father of the young attorney, of his abercouts. Mr. White immediately upon his arrival in that city, found that his son had again disappeared. As yet there has been no satisfactory explanation of young White's actions. It is claimed that he is laboring under a mental breakdown; that he is a victim of strange hallucinations, etc. Mr. Hume, to whom he owes his trust, said he no wrong and that his actions, in the light of circumstances, are excusable. Des Moines, July 5.—The Hon. Fred White of Webster passed through Des Moines last night en route to Grand Island, Neb, where his son, Virgil White, the Des Moines attorney, has been discovered and placed in the custody of Sheriff Taylor of that city. Virgil White went to Grand Island, where he was working to see the celebration of Independence day. It was his undoing, for Sheriff Taylor spied him and placed him in custody. Council Bluffs, July 6—Fred White and his missing son, Miss Virgil, met yesterday afternoon at the home of Sheriff Taylor at Grand Island, Neb. The meeting was not particularly affairing, but the man was met at the train by Sheriff Taylor, who took him to his home, where Virgil has been staying. As soon as the door opened, the parent stepped forward with outstretched hand, simply saying, "Virgil." The young man came forward to clasp his father's hand and simply said "Father." The young man went into a private room where they talked for nearly two hours. What passed between them no one knows. At the conclusion of it, the father announced that he would go with the son to the farm of John D. Phillips, near Scotia, Neb. where he had been employed. Young White seems to be perfectly prepared to declare that he will not return to Des Moines or to his home—that such an act would kill him. PIECE OF IRON THROUGH HEAD. Dubuque Boy Killed By Charge From Toy Cannon Dubuque, Ia. July 5—Joseph Fuerst, 7 years old, was shot in the head with a charge from a toy cannon and killed yesterday. A playmate placed a piece of iron one inch long in the barrel and it penetrated the forehead, coming out at the back of the head. The boy died two hours and a half afterward. There were no other serious happenings. TRUST STATUTES ARE KNOCKED OUT Des Moines, July 2—Holding that the Iowa statute unaltered which Messrs. Willcox, Howell, Horkins and Skinner were arrested on testimony given by B. F. Loose is unconstitutional, Judge McVey yesterday ordered the release of the tour insurance men under their writ of hauris corpus. The opinion of Judge McVey, which is a lengthy one, holds that under the constitution of the United States the statute cannot hold, and he regards it as his duty to declare the statute invalid. He finds that the penalty for an infraction of the statute for companies having a large capitalization is grown to large companies having a small capital stock. The case laid its beginning in the justice court of F. E. Duncan, where proceedings were instituted by B. F. Loose. The four men waived their preliminary hearing, and were arrested by Sheriff Loper. They imminently proceeded, and were released on their own recognizances. State Attorney Miller says he will county court to the higher courts for a final decision.

Thompson, head bookkeeper of the German Savings bank, and one of Davenport's best known citizens, was probably fatally injured yesterday by being shot the back by some reckless leader, who was using ball cartridges in his revolver. The ball cartridges were also hard bone missing the spinal cord, but causing fractures from which it is hardly expected that he can recover.

Thomson, one of the leading bankers of Davenport, died yesterday as the result of being shot on the fourth of July by some reckless celebrator who shot Mr. Thomson, Mr. Thomson was easier of the Farmers and Merchances' bank and was prominent in local business circles. Mutineers on Kniaz Potemkine Declare Open War. Russian Government Professes Unconcern - Portion of Crew, It Is Believed, is in Favor of Surrendering the Vessel. Theodosia, Crimea, July 6.—The mutineers of the Kniaz Potemkine today formally raised the standard of rebellion and issued the following declaration: "The crew of the Kniaz Potemkine notify the foreign powers that the decisive struggle has begun against the Russian government. We consider it to be our duty to declare that we guarantee the complete inviolability of foreign ships navigating the Black sea, as well as the inviolability of foreign ports." Theodosia, July 6.—The Russian battleship Kniaz Potemkine has arrived here and asked for cool, provisions and medical attendance. The mutineers demanded that the authorities guarantee their safety during the stay of the ship here. Odessa, July 6—It is reported that the battleship Kniaz Pocenkine appeared yesterday off Akerman, twenty-seven miles southwest of Odessa. On July 4 the torpedo boat entered the harbor of Akerman and demanded coal and provisions, the authorities refusing to furnish them, whereupon the torpedo boat fired two shots. The torpedo boat afterward obtained all the supplies she required St. Petersburg, July 6.—While no official confirmation is obtainable The Associated Press has been informed by an authority usually reliable that the admiralty has received news that the Kniaz Potenkoline, after shipping coal, provisions, and medicines is again at large in the Black sea and that her destination is unknown. Whether the report of the sailing of the battleship be true or not, the crew took a remarkable step yesterday, when, with all the solemnity of the moment, the issuer manifesto addressed to the awers announcing that civil war had been begun against the existing regime in Russia, and pledging the involavability of foreign shipping, and foreign ports. This action doubtless was taken to quiet the apprehension of foreign powers, and to leave no excuse for the sending of warships through the Darlaneses to effect the capture of the island of Nusa Dua in nausea. The Black sea fleet has not dared to attempt. It is considered a shrewd move on the part of the mutineers and stamps the commander of the crew as a leader far above the class of the orcish warriors, and the opinion that he is not a member of the original crew, but one of the revolutionaries who went on board at Odessa. The issuance of the manifesto lends a certain dignity to the mutiny and proves that the crew and their comrades should believe them to be mere outlaws, but that they should be looked upon as men seriously raising the standard of revolution. According to a rumor printed in an afternoon paper, the船's strong box contained $757,000 and the mutineers would therefore be well supplied In circles closely in touch with the revolutionists it is regarded as a foregone conclusion that the commander of the Knizl Potemkine, knowing the situation in the Caucasus, will head for Poti or Batum, where the revolutionists are exceedingly strong, in the hope of produce authorities in the Caucasus almost powerless to prevent it, such a contingency is by no means impossible. Dispatches from Tiflis received last night says that reports of the rioting at Odessa and the action of the Knizl Potemkine have aroused the most intense interest and the wildest joy among the revolutionists. The receipt of the report was followed by a complete strike, even the lampshitters quitting work. The city is in darkness and the inhabitants are fleeing to the northward. Portland, Ore., July 5—Senator Mitchell was found guilty of practicing before the departments of the United States government for compensation while occupying the office of United States senator from Oregon. The jury commends the defendant to the mercy of the court by guilty plea. Five—Counsel for United States Senator Mitchell will appeal his case from the decision of the jury. It is stated that the jury took six ballots before arriving at a verdict. Five ballots showed eleven jurors for conviction. It is expected that the other indictments pending against Senator Mitchell, charging conspiracy with Puter and others to defraud the government of its lands will be dropped. What its lands can be defrauded Haven can only be conjectured. The statute provides for imprisonment for more than two years and for a fine of not to exceed $10,000. May Choose Portland. Washington, July 7.—While the place for the hot weather sessions of the peace conference has not yet been selected, "it is believed that Portland, Maine, is being regarded very favorably. Bar Harbor, Newport, and other well known resorts have been considered the host of the crowds and the social attentions which would be shown the member of the conference. A Great Twister in Texas Causes Severe Damage. FOLLOWS A ZIGZAG COURSE Takes in Homes of Many Stock Raisers and Farmers—Reports Not All in, but Conservative Estimates Place the Loss of Life at Sixty. Fort Worth, Tex., July 6.—A tornado which struck Texas in the upper edge of Montague county, coming from the northeast and swinging far to the southeast yesterday afternoon, caused the loss, it is believed, of over sixty lives, injure a large number of people and did untold damage to growing crops and cattle. Fortunately, the tornado missed the small towns in the section through which it swept, but it seemed to take flendish delight in zigzagging in such a way as to take in the homes of many farmers and stock raisers in this section. At Jacksboro the force of the wind was terrific. The Baptist church and twenty other buildings were blown off their foundations and a number of buildings totally destroyed. Mrs. Travis Colhoun. He seriously injured him and expected to live. Travis Colhoun, Mrs. Thomas Horton and Henry Vesser and family were also injured. At Montague no lives were lost in the town, but in the country there was great loss of life reported. Most of those killed lived on Salt creek, along which the tornado tended with special force. No necona the tornado passed a few miles to the south, and the lists give the dead at fourteen and the injured at forty-one. A reliable man from Nocona, who has been over the scene, says that reports were being received of the dead when he left there, and he places the loss of life at sixty. Fort Worth, Tex. July 7. Twenty-six persons are known to have been killed and fifteen injured by a burying of Montague county, in the northern part of this state Wednesday afternoon. The property loss will probably total $200,000. Norwegian Army On Frontier. Stockholm, Sweden, July 1—A telegram from Trondheim to the Jamtlands-Postem says that almost the entire Norwegian army has been mobilized and that three classes of combat vehicles on every night, it is added, 2,000 infantry were moved towards the Swedish boundary. Sixty-five cars and two engines are sent south from the coast to assist in the movements of the troops. Cleveland, Ohio. July 6.—At almost exactly noon yesterday the body of John Hay was laid to rest in Lakeview cemetery. Around the open grave at the last moment stood with bowed heads the president and the vice president of the United States and members of the present cabinet, and men who had in former years served with the late secretary of state and also in the vice president of the United States Kinley. There were many others who would have willingly paid a tribute of honor and respect to Mr. Hay, but it was the wish of his family that the funeral should be conducted for John Hay—the man they knew and loved in private life, and not for the brilliant and forceful premier whose death wherever clean and successful statesmanship is esteemed among men. The assemblage at his funeral and around his grave was therefore small. The visible honors accorded him in death were in a ratio directly inverse to those freely given him in life, and perhaps no greater testimony to the worth of the man could have been given to him. He is the leader of his countrymen, who appreciated his character and achievements, stood aside at his family's wish, to take hostage of the future for the endurance of his name. The drive to the cemetery from the Chamber of Commerce, where the body had laid in state, occupied the greater part of an hour, and it was a sweep under the arched gateway and halted at the side of the Wade chapel. Forming a line on one side of the roadway the horsemen stood with presented sabres while the casket was carried into the little chapel followed by the family and the president and the members of the cabinet. The services were strictly private, and indeed, the chapel that it was in was all of the properly accredited persons to find room within its walls. The services were simple in the extreme. A hymn, Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar," was rendered by a male quartette, a passage of the Scripture was read by Rev H. C. Haydn, pastor of the old stone church. This was followed by a second hymn, "For All the Saints Who From Their Labs Rest" from the quartette and a brief prayer from Dr. Haydn brought the exercises to a close. In the presidential party were Losele M. Shaw, secretary of the treasury; Lois L. Mack, secretary of the navy; James Wilson, secretary of agriculture; E. A. Hitchcock, secretary of the interior; Victor H. Metcalf, secretary of commerce and labor; postmaster General George B. Cortell, Attorney General W. H. Moody, Senator P. C. Knox of Pennsylvania, former governor of Georgia, former postmaster General Paul Morton, former secretary of war. French Submarine Boat Founders. Ferryville, Tunis. July 1. A French submarine boat, with a crew of thirteen on board foundered here yesterday. Kniaz Potemkine Reported Heading for Odessa. MAY REOPEN THE TROUBLE Comparative Order Had Already Been Restored—Crew of Transport Rebelled and Seized the Officers, But Have Repented and Beg Mercy. London, July 5.—A dispatch to the Evening Standard from Odessa says the Kniaz Potemkine has been sighted twenty-five miles off that port. Odessa, July 5.—Comparative order has been restored here and work is being resumed in the harbor. Paris, July 5.—A dispatch to the Tempa from Constantinople says that the Russian steamer Emperor Nicholas II, which had been ordered to proceed to Alexandria in place of Odessa, owing to the troubles at the later place, was unable to leave Constantinople on account of a mutiny of the crew on the Nicholas II., who insisted on going to Odessa to protect their families. The Emperor Nicholas II. is a steamer of 2.567 tons net, belonging to the Russian Steam Navigation company of Odessa. It is engaged in the trade between Odessa and the Mediterranean ports. The ship was on July 5.—Before the Kustendji Potemkine salted for Kustendji a delegation from the crew handed their prefect a proclamation addressed to the representatives of the powers in Romania formally declaring war on all Russian vessels which refuse to join the mutineers. The proclamation says the Knizai of the Ottoman Empire's factory and foreign shipping. It was requested that the proclamation be forwarded to the powers. Odessa, July 5-11 is reported persistently in army and naval circles that the Kniaz Potemkine is being stalked and pursued by several torpedo boats which intend to sink her. The crews of these boats consist of officers who volunteered as stokers, so there is no danger of their refusal to attack. The crew of theadea gade ship. The Kniaz Potemkine's hours are declared to be numbered. Regret is expressed at the destruction of such a splendid and powerful battleship and at the loss of life, but this is thought to be preferable to the continued dishonor of her 'presence in the Black sea, commanded by multiners. Several torpedo boats were attacked by theadea light. There are also other signs of activity among the torpedo fleet. The whereabouts of the Kniaz Potemkine is not known here, but she is reported to have left Kastendji. ROOT SUCGEEDS SECRETARY HAY ROOT SUCGEEDS SECRETARY HAY New York, July 7.—It can be definitely stated that President Roosevelt has offered the position of secretary of state to Elizhu Root and that Mr. Root has accepted. Oyster Bay, L, I, L. July 1, 7. Root boarded the president's special train at Jersey City just before it left for Cleveland Tuesday afternoon. All phases of the situation were considered carefully, but at that time Mr. Root did not indicate definitely that he would accept the portfolio. On the return journey their conference, interrupted by the mission on which they had gone to Cleveland, was resumed. A formal tender of the secretary was made to Mr. Root, and acceptance of the proffer, announced in New York today, is believed to be without reservation. LABOR LEADERS INDICTED Chicago, July 2.—The Cook county grand jury, which, for a month, has been investigating the causes and conditions of the present teamsters' strike, returned its report last night, and with it forty-nine indictments against men connected in various ways with recent labor troubles in Chicago. The following are the men indicted: George C. Prussing, president of the Illinois Brick company. Charles Hank, president of the Brick, Stone and Terra Cotta Workers' union. P. J McHoon, president of the Brick, Stone and Terra Cotta Teamsters' union. John Gray, general purchasing and distribution agent of the Illinois Brick company. These four indictments are based on charges of conspiracy to injure the business of independent brick concerns whose interests lay in conditions opposite to that of the Illinois bricks, which is the so-called "brick trust." A number of officers of independent brick companies testified that $25,000 had been paid to Gray for expenses in connection with calling strikes against their plants. In addition to the returning of indictments the jury submitted a long and scathing report dealing with the fabor conditions in Chicago. Mobilization Abandoned by Russia. St. Petersburg. July 6.—Japan has another proof that Russia has decided on peace in the abandonment of further mobilization in the St. Petersburg and other districts where in spite of the applicable internalation such a step would not have been taken if the government seriously contemplated a continuation of the war. Russian Minister of War Resigns. St. Petersburg. July 26.—Emperor Nicholas has received the continuation of the minister of war. General Sakharoff, which was tendered yesterday.

Estelle Reel, the general superintendent of the government's Indian school, was talking about cruelty. She insists that not only young savages are cruel, but that the same characteristic is found in most children. As an illustration she told of a little white boy who was given two images of plaster, coated on the outside with pink sugar. He wanted to eat the images, but he was warned on no aces to do that as they were not dead. He was dubious. He had been cheat ed before this by grown-up people Day after day he asked if he might not eat the images. Finally he had a young friend, Richard Howe, to spend time with to do as they were not dead. He was discovered that one of the images had disappeared. His mother nearly frantic, to him. "Harold, old," she said "where is that pink image?" Harold frowned as he an Ritchie Howe, and if he alivered him I'm going to eat the other one my self." Proved Beyond a Doubt Middlesex, N. Y., July 3.—(Special) —That Rheumatism can be cured has been proved beyond a doubt by Mrs. Betsey A. Clawson, well known here. That Mrs. Clawson had Rheumatism and had it bad, all her acquaintances know. They also know she is now bured. Dodd's Kidney Pills did it. Mrs. Clawson tells the story of her cure as follows: He did not for most five years caused by Inflammatory Rheumatism, helpless two-thirds of the time. The first year I could not do as much as a baby could do, then I rallied a little bit and then a relapse. Then a year ago the gout set in my hands and feet. I suffered untold agony and in August, 1903, when my husband died I could not ride to the grave. "I only took two boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and in two weeks I could wait on myself and saw my own wood. I dug my own potatoes and gathered them in my own cell. Dodd's Kidney Pills cured me." Rheumatism is caused by uric acid in the blood. Dodd's Kidney Pills put the Kidneys in shape to take all the uric acid out of the blood.

Chief Clerk John McDermott, of the Hotel St. Francis, was a Thespian once, although, according to his story, his roles were mostly silent ones, involving such acting as holding up a greenwood tree in a performance of "As you like it," or being "horse's footsteps to right," or the Roman mob. He said, "I was a man he said, 'until I appeared at the Grand Opera House in an amateur production of 'Hamlet' for the benefit of St. Patrick's Church. I was the ghost. The fellow who was coaching us gave one very accurate instructions. He said, 'when you come on, you say 'Hamlet,' when you come on, you say 'Hamlet,' in a loud and sonorous tone.' It would have been all right but for the fact that I misunderstood him. The night of the performance I went on at the proper moment, and said, 'Hamlet, I am thy father's ghost in a loud and sonorous tone, when they get through saying things to me, to my night I decided to retire permanently from the stage." IN COLONEL'S TOWN Things Happen. From the home of the famous "Keihuel Keeyartah of Cartersville," away down South, comes an enthusiastic letter about Postum: "I was in very delicate health, suffering from indigestion and a nervous trouble so severe that I could hardly sleep. The doctor ordered me to discontinue the use of the old poison to me, producing such extreme disturbance that I could not control myself. But such was my love for it that I could not get my own consent to give it up for some time, and continued to suffer, till my father one day brought home a package of Postum Food Coffee. "I had the new food drink carefully prepared according to directions, and gave it a fair trial. It proved to have a flavor and made me wholeheartedly delicious drink. To my taste the addition of cream greatly improves it. "My health began to improve as soon as the drug effect of the old coffee was removed and the Postm Coffee had time to make its influence felt. My nervous troubles were specially relieved and the sleep which the old coffee drove from my pillow always came to soothe and strengthen me after I had drunk Postm—in a very short time I began to sleep better than I for years before. I have now used Postm Coffee for several years and like it better and find it more beneficial when I first began. It is an unspoken joy to be relieved of the old distress and sickness."

Women Obtain Mrs. Pinkham's Advice and Help. She Has Gulded Thousands to Health.—How Lydia R. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Cured Mrs. Fred Seydel. It is a great satisfaction for a woman to feel she can write to another telling her the most private and confidential details about her illness, and know that the latter will be seen by a woman only, a woman full of sympathy for her MRS. Seydel It is a great satisfaction for a woman to feel that she can write to another telling her the most private and confidential details about her illness, and know that she can be seen by a woman only, a woman full of sympathy for her sick sisters, and above all, a woman who has had more experience in treating female illies than any living person. Over one hundred thousand cases of female diseases come before Mrs. Pinkham every year, some personally, others by mail, and this has been going on for twenty years, day after day. Surely women are wise in seeking advice from a woman of such experience, especially when it is absolutely free. Mrs. Pinkham never violates the confidence of women, and every testimonial letter published is done so with the written consent or request of the woman that other sick women may be benefited. Mrs. Fred Seedel, of 412 North 54th Street, West Philadelphia, Pa., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Over a year ago I wrote you a letter asking advice, as I had female lilies and could not carry a child to maturity. I received your advice. I am not a well woman consequence, but have a beautiful baby girl. I wish every suffering woman in the land would write you for advice, as you have done so much for me. Just as surely as Mrs. E. Seydel was invited by Ladyia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman suffering from any form of female lilies. No other medicine in all the world has such a record of cures of female troubles as has Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Therefore no prudent woman will accept any substitution. If you are sick, write Mrs. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass, for special advice. It is free and always helpful. MILLIONS USE Cuticura SOAP MEDICINAL AND TOILET PRICE 25 CENTS.

There has been a great deal of disappointment because the Garfield report shows that the profits of the packing industry only amount to about two per cent of the volume of business transacted. There is no doubt, however, that the report is correct. The census reports compiled by the government in 1900, before the agitation regarding the "beef trust" began, throw considerable light on this question. It appears from the census that the packing industry is conducted on a smaller margin of gross profit than any other industry in America. The gross margin of profit of $71 flour and grist mills in Illinois, in the census year, was nearly seven per cent on the volume of business. The gross margin of fifty-one wholesale slaughtering and meat packing establishments in Illinois was only about one-third as large, or a little more than two per cent on the volume of business. The millers have not been accused of being in a "trust," and combinations would seem impossible in a business where there are several thousand mills in the United States competing actively for the flour trade, but it appears that the gross profits of the millers are larger than the gross profits of the packers. It may turn out that the agitation regarding the packing industry will show the same result as the devil found in shearing the pig: "All squelal and no wool." — American Homestead.

CONSUMPTION OFFICERS AND MEN ASHORE Meeting Held Immediately on Arrival at Sebastopal — Katerina II Has Already Been Disarmed — All the Machinery Will Be Ungeared. Sebastopol (via St. Petersburg); July 3 — Immediately after the Black sea squadron arrived here Saturday a council of admirals and captains was held on board the flagship Rostislav, Vice Admiral Kruger presiding. The council resolved to ungear the machinery and authorize the officers and men to go ashore. The Katerina II. Is here and has been disarmed. London, July 3.—Lloyd's agent at Kustenji, Roumania, in a dispatch dated at 9:15 o'clock yesterday says the Kniaz Potemkine and torpedo boat No. 267 are anchored off that port and that another steamer is in the offing apparently watching. Odessa, July 3.—According to some reports the surrender of the Georgi Pobledonosez was conditional upon the crew being informed as to what their punishment would be. The vessel lies in the inner harbor in a position unfavorable for bombarding the city. She is completely under the heavy guns now mounted in the boulevard overlooking the harbor. Kustenji, Roumania, July 3.—The commander of the Roumanian fleet boarded the Kniaz Potemkine and gave her permission to take water and provisions pending instructions from Bucharest. The battleship has anchored within the three mile limit. The Russian gunboat Psezouape is also here, but has not communicate with the Kniaz Potemkine. St. Petersburg, July 3. — The unprecedented spectacle of a powerful modern battleship cruising around in the Black sea in the hands of a crew who, under the rules of international law cannot be regarded as others that pirates, and of the admiral in command, the rest of the Envine for fear of the resting his inability to cope, with the situation, and ordering the fires of his warships to be drawn, has stupefied the Russian admiralty. The whereabouts of the errant battleship Kniaz Potemkine is unknown since no plans for capturing her have been devised and the policy of non-interference seems to be at present in vogue. Dispatches from Odessa and Sebastopol, which are confirmed by the admiralty, clear up fully the present situation. The Kniaz Potemkine has been from Odessa to large and her crew, reinforced by sympatizers from shore, is still in control of the vessel. On the Georgi Pobeldonoset, which cast in its fortunes with the Kniaz Potemkine after its arrival at Odessa and landed its officers, the more loyal or timorous portion of the crew again gained the upper hand and agreed to surrender and disarm the ship. The rest of the squadron returned to Sebastopol without venturing to take up the gauntlet thrown down by the mutineers on the Kniaz Potemkine, and Admiral Kruger, after a council of war, finding that he could not depend on his crews, ordered the fires drawn beneath the boilers of his ships and gave permission to all the disaffected officers and sailors to quit the vessels and go ashore. The sailors of Ekaterina II, were known to be so mutinous that the battleship was left behind when the squadron started for Odessa, the whole crew dismissed and the ship disarmed. The Kniaz Potemkine, which was steering in a southerly course when she left Odessa, would within a few hours be south of Russian limits and may next be heard from at some Balkan or Turkish port. ENVOYS' NAMES MADE KNOWN Oyster Bay, N. Y., July 3.—Official announcement was made by President Roosevelt yesterday of the names of the Washington peace conference. The character and ability of the men selected by both belligerents is an earnest of the desire of their respective governments to conclude, if possible, the tragedy being enacted in the far east. The plenipotentiaries are: Russian—Ambassador Muravieff, former minister of justice and now ambassador to Italy, and Baron Rosen, recently appointed as ambassador to the United States to succeed Count Cassini. Japanese—Baron Komura, minister of foreign affairs, and Kogoro Takahata, vice president to the United States. By direction of the president, Secretary Loeb made the formal announcement in the following statement: "The president announces that the Russian and Japanese governments have informed him that they have appointed plenipotentiaries to meet here (Washington) as soon after August 1 as possible. The Russian plenipotentiaries are Ambassador Muravieff, formerly minister of justice and now ambassador at Rome, and Ambassador Rosen. The Japanese plenipotentiaries are Baron Komura, now minister of foreign affairs, and Minister Takahira. "It is possible that each side may send one or more additional representatives. The plenipotentiaries of both Russia and Japan will be intrusted with full power to negotiate and conclude a treaty of peace, subject, of course, to ratification by their respective home governments."

THE MONTHLY TRIAL HEADAOHE, DIZZINESS, BEARING-DOWN PAINS. A Woman Tells How She Has Become Well and Strong after Years of Misery Due to Irregular Functions. The fact that one woman is bright-eyed, rosy-cheeked, strong and cheerful, while another is pale, weak and depressed, is due more often than otherwise to the regularity in the one case and the irregularity in the other of the functions that are peculiar to the sex. When these are disturbed everything goes wrong; pain and discomfort are felt all over the body; the sensations are often terrifying. "For four years," said Mrs. Davis recently. "I suffered indescribable misery from sick headache every month, accompanied by fainting spells, shortness of breath and severe pain in my left side. There were also bearing-down pains, at times so acute that I could not stand up, and my head was full of ringing sounds. It seemed as if everything was going to hit me in the eyes. I was compelled to lie down with closed eyes for hours to get a little relief. When I attempted to arise everything would whirl around and it would grow so dark that I could scarcely see any object." "Couldn't your doctor help you?" "Five doctors in all treated me, but I got no lasting benefit. Besides I used a lot of advertised remedies. The only medicine, however, that had the desired effect was Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and they are truly a godsend to women. I did not have much faith in them when I began to take them. I found myself, however, so much better after using two boxes that I began to believe in them. They checked right away the decline into which I was going. My troubles kept lessening and finally disappeared altogether." "How long did it take for a cure?" "After I had used several boxes my health was all right. I had taken on desh and was strong and hearty. I feel oday in spirits more like a girl of sixteen than a woman of my years." Mrs. C. H. Davis' address is Carmel, Maine, R. F. D., No. 2.

Regulates baptism of children. The Swat government has decided no longer to permit parents to baptize their offspring by fantastic names. This law has just been enacted 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. When we look at the world in a narrow way, how small it seems.
