The summer months are not considered by many people a good time to entertain, unless you are at some summer resort, as it usually is so warm that it makes it unpleasant for house parties, but that idea has been abanded for this week at least, as there has not been so many parties and receptions given since during holidays as there was this week. The Misses Gertrude and Lillian Smith, two prominent society bells of Chicago, has been the guests of honor at the following parties and reception: Tuesday they were entertained at the country home of Mr. and Mrs. Price Alexander, near Highland Park. Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs. William Smith of 844 Sixth avenue gave a reception for them, which was the largest attended of any of the parties given.

BROWNIES LOSE The Brownies won the game from the Moberly team last Friday in that city, also the one from the Menlo club Wednesday, afternoon, but they lost the game that was played against the Woodward team last Sunny afternoon by indifferent playing. It would be well for all the members of the team to play ball during every game. There is no need in losing a game simply because there is some member of the club you do not like, or do not want to play. It is the duty of everyone on any team to play their best at all times after the captain has given them their places on the team. Hats made to Order All work guaranteed J.

Organization and united efforts for good are the instruments of progress for women today in elevating humanity. With the enlightenment of a progressive age comes the knowledge to every true woman, a spirit to work for humanity, in ameliorating the condition of others. How deplorable to see women joining clubs simply to be known as a club woman, with no other object than to have their names enrolled, while others try to grasp every thought explained as the object, and the meaning of the motto, "Lifting as we climb." The writer, with the assistance of a number of co-workers, is putting forth every effort to induce the local clubs to unite for good in uplifting—to lay aside prejudice and jealousy, for these things hinder the progress. When we look around and see what is so much needed we should forget self, but unite and do our best. The woman's is a blessing to womankind; it gives an opportunity for her to spend her entire jours at work. It is clearly seen that women's clubs have accomplished much in the mental development of woman. When the mind is trained the hand is also trained. The clubs are also making better wives and housekeepers, purer homes; the woman is becoming alive to all interests which surround her. Much more in our local clubs could be accomplished if they would unite with a club spirit to progress and not retard. There is the lack of co-operation. Mrs. Helm so beautifully spoke at a reception given by one of the clubs on the home improvement work in the city of St. Louis and the training of the young, and urged co-operation. Miss Gibson of the same club, when speaking of the work at any time, advocates united effort. In the Gate City here is talent lying dormant for the want of encouragement. If many of us could "see through the glass clearly and not darkly!" While the writer is a weak instrument in the hands of so many, she is trying to do all that she can in helping to train the minds to a higher plane of thought by reading good books, and by training her mind will fit them for many avenues in life. As has been above stated, organization and united effort are the instruments of progress for the woman's clubs. Belle Banister. DELINEATOR FOR SEPTEMBER.

We also extend and expect all ministers and college professors, business men, professional men and women to join us in this meeting. Recent developments show the need of the part of the intelligent and thoughtful members of the race and the press with the aid of the pulpit must undoubtedly take the lead.

We would again urge upon every paper and its entire matter to make this meeting a personal matter in order to secure a large and enthusiastic gathering. the executive committee: C. S. Muse, chairman.

The Iowa Fair is emerging from the old style into the modern exposition class. The wooden buildings are giving way to permanent structures and the old methods are being supplanted by the scientific methods of today, with respect both to the educational and entertaining features of the exhibition. The state has $500,000 invested in grounds and improvements here and the present management of the department of agriculture under whose auspices the annual exhibition is given, is appreciative of the opportunity to make the State Fair of real value to the people, taking the place of the world's exposition which they have been attending in recent years. W. W. Morrow of Afton is president and John Simpson of Knoxville is secretary of the State Department of Agriculture. NOTICE To those who have made inquiry in regards to the address of W. H. Milligan, G. M. of Grand Lodge of Iowa and Jurisdiction, we would state that a letter addressed, R. F. D. No. 2, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, will reach him.

When automobiles are sold on the installment plan, everybody may ride—for a few weeks, at least. In view of the usefulness of lined seed oil in suspending pigments the boggliness of cornering it is apparent. The conjecture that Miss Lillian Russell fractured her rib as an advertisement may be dismissed as unfounded. Premier Balfour appears to be one of those stubborn persons who decline to quit before the third man is out in the ninth. Miner Scotty pronounces New York a "bum town." New York doubtless appreciates the implied but unintended compliment. New York cops are amusing themselves and getting more fattening food by p-eating matches. No wonder the police can't run. A Chicago newspaper remarks: "After all we are a simple people!" Now we wonder if that could have been meant for "slain." "The high prices of meat in Germany are causing a general popular agitation." Shake, Germany! That's the way we feel over here. The ancients believed that kissing a pretty girl was a sure cure for headache. After all there's nothing like the old-fashioned remedies. Not all Darbys and Joans lived in the age of fable: as witness the Pittsburg man who will not exchange his wife for half a million dollars. The Kalamazoo philanthropist who left $10,000 to provide tramps with meals must want the fund to accumulate. A bath goes with each feed. Somebody who says he knows asserts that whiskers grow faster in hot weather than they do in cold. The man who has to shave himself is sure of it. The New York man who dropped dead just as a physician pronounced him physically sound showed small regard for the exactness of medical science. The people who suffer from hay fever have the consolidation of thinking that during the hay fever season they are never without a good excuse for a vacation. If the United States could drive yellow fever out of Havana, why can't she drive it out of New Orleans? There seems to be sanitation work for Gen. Wood down there. That story of a man's being kept twenty-two years in the Joliet penitentiary because the authorities forgot to hang him was not true. Otherwise it was a perfect gem. The importation of diamonds into the United States has increased 50 per cent during the last ten years. And still we seem to have plenty of money left to buy automobiles with. It's the hight of bad form in Japan for a wife to express any opinion contrary to her husband's. What chance had Russia against men who have their wives bluffed like that?

CANNOT STAND THE EXPENSE County Attorney Fallon is Directed to Collect Costs of First Trial From Omaha Civic Federation and Jewelers' Association. Des Molles, Aug. 10.—If Tom Dennison is brought to trial again at Red Oak in October on the Pollock diamond robbery charge the Omaha Civic federation or the Jewelers' Protective union will have to stand the expenses, of the prosecution. The Harrison county board of supervisors has just passed a resolution notifying County Attorney Fallon that it will not approve of any more bills in the Dennison case, and directing him to collect the costs for the first trial of the Omaha Civic federation. The former trial of Dennison, which resulted in his acquittal of the charge of receiving the stolen Pollack diamond, cost the state $1,600 for witnesses, fees, mileage, jury and court report. Harrison also paid the county a royalty paid $800 of this amount. County Attorney Fallon had led the Harrison county officials to believe that the Omaha Civic federation and the National Jewelers' union would stand the expenses of the prosecution of Dennison, which was instituted at their request. However, those organizations have not as yet paid any of the court costs except for the ad valorem charge. The county must assist County Fallon in the trial and for the extra court reporters' fees. Congressman Walter I. Smith was employed by the Jewelers' Protection union to assist in the first tran to Dennison, and as far as known that Dennison had not yet signed his intention to participate in the further prosecution of Dennison. Elmer E. Thomas represented the Omaha Civic federation in his official capacity as attorney for that organization. Dennison has not yet signed his Dennison and when in Des Moines recently was confident that the case would be pushed, saying that County Attorney Fallon had advised him that there would be no trouble in Harrison county about the court costs. Dennison has not signed the case of itsors puts a new phase on the matter, however.

The Inter-Urban Railway company of Des Moines is threatening to abandon its line from Woodward Junction to the town, instead but built off Woodward Junction in the Ledges. Difficulty in securing right of way west of Woodward Junction is the reason. The grading gang, which had gone to Perry, has been recall- and is working on this end of the line. A. P. Chamberlin, right of way agent for the company, stated yesterday that unless the right of way could be secured on terms more satisfactory than those now offered within the next ten days, the company would have to route the route to Boone had been surveyed and that the possibilities for business were just as encouraging through that territory as west to Perry. The distance from Woodward Junction to Perry and from Woodward north to Boone is about 100 miles, the route contemplated is directly through The Ledges, which is rapidly growing in favor with Des Moines people as an outing place. It would be the plan of the company to still further popularize this place and increase the travel between Des Moines and The Ledges. The survey to Boone also contemplates taking in the loop abandoned by the Northwestern line, which runs southwest from Boone to Mongola, and thence northwest to Ogden, where it connects again with Des Moines. This would open up a good territory to the Des Moines promoters. According to Mr. Chamberlin the Dallas county farmers west from Woodward Junction are asking $2,500 for a right of way for a half mile of the road all of the land owners in this section are holding out for this. This is the highest price the company has been asked, and it refuses to pay it. Des Moines, August 10—While neither the brewery promoters nor the temperance people are making any claims regarding the success or failure of the movement to establish a brewery in Des Moines, there is much to indicate that the project is not succeeding. The sentiment against it appears to be too strong to give assurance of financial success. After some ten days of soliciting for signers there seems to be something of a letting up on the part of the promoters and less aggressiveness and enthusiasm is shown than at the start. The offices which the promoters opened in the Iowa Loan and Trust building have not been used since the last year, was anticipated and they are not being used. For the past few days only the best solicitors have been out with the petitions. In the places where it was expected the most signers might be secured, inquiry has developed the fact that fewer men signed than the brewery forces had counted on. Representatives of outside offices opposed to the Dept. Mohes Institutes and while not actively working against it are not working for it in any instance. As a result there is little for the promoters to depend upon. SAYS DYE IS NOT TRUE. Stuck Bravely to Dye Through Famous Poison Candy Case. Boone, Aug. 11. — Mrs. Sherman Dye the woman who stood bravely by her husband through all the trouble incident to the poisoning of Miss Rena Nelson of Pierre, S. D., by "doped" candy, has publicly denounced the man and fled damaging charges in the district Court. Splice is added to the case from the fact that Mrs. Dye alleges that Dye has been in the habit of poisoning women and men and engaging himself with young girls and women instead of his wife and daughter. These are practically the same charges which were made against Dye at the time the Rena Nelson poisoning came up, and at that time Mrs. Dye indignantly denied that she has any misgivings whatever regarding her husband or his affiliations with the police. Friends of Mrs. Dye say that she has suffered terribly since the 64th of Miss Rena Nelson at Pierre. FEAR FOR NIAGARA IMMENSE VOLUME OF WATER DIVERTED FROM FALLS. Commercial Enterprises are Making Heavy Drainins on This Famous Show-Place. Its Tremendous Electrical Power the Inducement. Niagara Falls, August 7: The volume of water being diverted from the historic Niagara Falls is reaching such proportions that the people of the State are trying to pass laws which will prevent the possibility of a practical wiping out of this sublime natural spectacle. Water sufficient to develop nearly five hundred thousand horse-power per hour for four hours per day, for industrial purposes, is now being taken from the river above the Falls, and further developments requiring more water are contemplated. Probably the largest user of the electricity produced by the waters of the mighty river is the concern which by the five or six thousand degree heat of the electric furnace brings lime and coke into unwilling union, thereby producing what is known as Calcium Carbide. Dry calcium carbide is lifeless as acoum broken rock, but in contact with the lime brings into activity and begets abundantly the gas Acetylene. The light resulting from the ignition of acetylene is the nearest approach to sunlight known. These facts, though of comparatively recent discovery, were soon seized by men with an eye to the commercial possibilities and to-day calcium carbide is being shipped everywhere and used for dispelling darkness in buildings of all descriptions, and the manufacture of the form to the country villa of the wealth, as well as for lighting the streets of a large number of towns. Acetylene can be easily and cheaply installed, and the manufacture and sale of acetylene generators has become a business of recognized standing, has assumed large proportions and is steadily growing.

He had taken to his bed and expected to die with it, but that he had been cured by a remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Representatives of the Warring Powers Meet. IS AN HISTORIC OCCASION President Roosevelt Extends Formal Greetings—Meeting is Marked By Greatest Cordiality Between Plenipotentiaries—No Untoward Incident Oyster Bay, N. X., Aug. 6—History was made yesterday in Oyster Bay, Russians and Japanese clasped hands and greeted one another with all outward evidence of cordiality and for the first time since nations began to have relations one with another, an executive of a great power received the answer of two hillegitimate countries on a mission of peace. President Roosevelt, on behalf of the United States and its people, extended formal greetings to the presentatives of Russia and Japan, introduced the plenipotentiaries to one another and elaborated luncheon, at which Russian and Japanese fraternized with one another as comrades rather than as enemies. During the luncheon President Roosevelt proposed a notable toast in which he expressed the earnest hope of all of these two great powers, but of all civilized mankind, that a just and lasting peace may speedily be concluded between them." The occasion was impressive. It was attended not by pomp and ceremony, but frankness characteristic of the president and the people of America. Due honor was paid the distinguished guests of the president and of the country and they were received with all the dignity to which their exalted rank entitled them. The day after the sun had gone away the haze of the morning, the weather was glorious. A brisk breeze just tipped the waves of Long Island land with silver, tempering at the same time the heat of the sun's rays. The handsome war yacht Mayflower, one of the most beautiful vessels of the United States navy, on which the formal reception of the Russian and Japanese plenipotentiaries took place, swung easily at anchor just at the entrance of Oyster bay from Long Island sound, and it was upon this vessel that the commissioners took place. At its conclusion the commissioners left for Portsmouth, N. H., where the commission will sit. PEACE COMMISSIONERS ARRIVE AT PORTSMOUTH Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 8. — The Russian and Japanese peace missions have submitted themselves to introduction and likewise to all of the ceremonies of welcome and reception, on the part of the United States government, and on the part of the British navy, and are on the eve of facing each other for the purpose of ending the war in the far east and if possible consummating a permanent peace between the two great nations. Today they will meet in the naval station of Portsmouth, the Russian navy yard. The Russian plenipotentiaries will examine the credentials and powers which the emperor of Japan has delegated to Baron Komura and Minister Takahira, and in turn the Japanese plenipotentiaries will examine which the Russian emperor has conferred upon Mr. Witte and Baron Rosen. The second day's session, to take place Thursday or Friday, it is expected will be devoted either to a consideration of Japanese peace terms or to a proposition for an armistice has been estimated that if a basis of negotiations for peace is found, the actual negotiations will consume something like five weeks' time before a treaty can be perfected and signed. Landing and reception of the envoy yesterday was a function replete with ceremony. The dignity of the nation's salutees was contrasted with the hearty exclamations of good will on the part of thousands of persons who thronged the streets of Portsmouth and surrounded the court house where Governor McLane proclaimed his cordial words of welcome. PEACE ENVOYS ARE READY. FOR BUSINESS Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 10—The first session of the peace conference between the Russian and Japanese plenipotentiaries has been concluded. The meeting lasted about one hour during which time the credentials of each commission were examined respectively by the other. The credentials were found to be entirely satisfactory. The only other business was an agreement on a program for future sessions. A correspondent of the Associated Press was received by one of the plenipotentiaries within ten minutes of the meeting to Newcastle and in reply to questions about the conference he said: "You can say that this morning's meeting was entirely satisfactory as far as it went. Our next meeting will be held tomorrow morning. Proceeding from that we will get down to business then. "Terms were not discussed at today's meeting." On behalf of Baron Komura and Mr. Takahira, Mr. Sato handed the following official communication to the press regarding this morning's meeting. "This morning was informal for the purpose of settling method of process and at that meeting it was decided that formal meetings will be held next nine days, past nine. Meetings will be held twice a day, one from 9:30 to 12:30 and the other from 3 to 5:30 or 6 o'clock in the afternoon subject to modifications as may be agreed upon by the participants.

MUST GET OUT OF MANCHURIA "Open Door" Must Be Recognized By Russia—Believed Demands Will Be Regarded Too Great By Russia and Mean a Dishonorable Peace. Portsmouth, N. H., Aug. 11.—Reimbursement for the expenses sustained in the prosecution of the war, and the cession of the island if Sakhalin constitute the main features of the peace conditions handed by Baron Komura to Mr. Witte at the conclusion of the yesterday morning's session of the plenipotentiaries in the general store building of the Portsmouth navy yard. The word "indemnity" is carefully avoided, the term employed being "reimbursement" for the cost of the war. No sum is fixed, the amount being distinctly adjoined for mutual adjustment between the two countries after the Japanese expenditure has been ascertained. These are the two all important conditions and those which the Russian plenipotentiaries find absolutely inacceptable. Inacceptable as they are, however, it can be stated that these two principal conditions did not come as a surprise to the Russian plenipotentiaries. The friendly fashion in which Baron Komura explained the conditions before handing them to Mr. Witte and the avoidance of the use of the word "indemnity" in the presentation of Japan's bill for the cost of the war without fixing a sum leaves the way open for negotiations and constitutes the possibility that a final agreement is possible. Certainly the damage is sudden rupture, no matter what the ultimate result may be, is precluded by yesterday's developments. The other terms are substantially what the world expected and with one or perhaps two exceptions could probably be entertained as bases of negotiations. The Japanese terms are summed up as follows: The cession of the Russian leases to the Liaotung peninsula, comprising Port Arthur and Dalny. The evacuation of the entire province of Manchuria, the retrocession to China of any privileges Russia may have in the province, and the recognition by Russia of the principle of the "open door." The cession to Japan of the Chinese Eastern railroad below Harbin, the main line through northern Manchuria to Vladivostok to remain Russian property. The recognition of the Japanese protectorate over Korea. The grant of fishing rights to Japan in the waters of the Siberian littoral northward from Vladivostok to the Bering sea. The relinquishment to Japan of the Russian warships interped in neutral ports. Finally a limit upon the naval strength of Russia in far eastern waters. As a whole, the terms are regarded as exceedingly hard by the Russians. In addition to the two principal conditions which cannot be accepted under M. Witte's instructions, those relating to the limiting of Russia's naval power in the far east and the granting of fishing rights upon the Russian littoral are considered particularly offensive to the amour propre of their country and of such a humiliating character as to be inadmissible The Japanese, on the contrary, as Baron Komura announced at the conference yesterday, considered them moderate, contending that they only represent a fair compensation for the expenses of the war and the victories they have achieved on land and sea, their sole purpose being to attain the objects for which they have fought, the spoils claimed being only such as they are legitimately entitled to as the result of their military and naval successes. The Russian plenipotentias, as soon as the Japanese terms were in their hands, called in the five expert delegates attached to the mission and spent the whole afternoon in the consideration of the terms. Meantime the conditions had been placed in cipher and cabled to Emperor Nicholas, with M. Witte's personal recommendations.

ROOSEVELT WANTS FEDERAL CONTROL Omaha, Neh., Aug. 9.—Ralph W. Breckinridge of Omaha, chairman of the committee on insurance of the American Bar association, has completed the report of that committee, which is to be presented to the annual convention at Narragansett Pier, which will be held August 23 to 25. The report makes five special recommendations as follows: First—Legislation by congress providing for the supervision of insurance. Second—The repeal of all valued policy laws. Third—A uniform fire policy, the term of which shall be specifically defined. Fourth—The repeal of all retaliatory tax laws. Fifth-Stricter incorporation laws in the several states as they affect the creation of insurance companies; and a federal statute prohibiting the use of the mails to all persons, associations or corporations transacting the business of insurance in disregard of state of federal regulations. President Roosevelt is quoted as having said to the committee that he is very much in favor of federal supervision of insurance companies. The committee would require reports to a governmental department, showing the amount of money collected, for what purpose used; showing honest management and the protection of policy holders. WORKING GIRLS BURIED IN RUINS A Big Department Store in Albany, N. Y., Collapses. OVER A HUNDRED ARE CAUGHT Beneath Mass of Crumbled Brick, Wood and Plaster — Toll Amid the Ruins is Difficult and the Progress Made is Slow. Albany, N. Y., Aug. 9.—The middle section of the department store of the John G. Myers company on North Pearl street, collapsed yesterday, carrying down with it over 100 persons. Caught in a chaos of brick, plaster and wooden beams, between twenty and thirty men, women and children met death. Twelve hours of frantic work on the part of an army of rescuers disentangled fifty people, six of them dead and many of the rest badly injured. Three bodies were in sight at a late hour last night, but many hours' work will be required to get them out. Anything like a complete list of the killed and injured will be unobtainable until the workers have made their way to the very bottom of the mass of wreckage. With few exceptions those caught in the rulns were employers, a large majority of them girls. The collapse occurred shortly after the opening hour when barely a score of shoppers were in the store. A clock found in the debris had stopped at 12 minutes past 9, showing when the crash came. The best account of the event that probably caused the ruin is given by the head of the crockery, glass and drug departments, which occupies the basement. "The workmen were sawing at a wooden beam." said he, "which runs under the northern end of the central excavation for the middle of the store. Excavation for the middle of the store about the base of this pillar and I believe that jarring of the beam beneath it displaced the foundation of the pillar. The first thing I knew, two of the counters near the place where the men were working began to sag, and several pieces of glassware slid off onto the floor with a crash. I yelled to my clerks to run for the front of the store. The words were not out of my mouth when there came a creaking and everything was useless to me. The wreck came slowly, however, and everyone in my department escaped, as well as the workmen." Albany, N. Y., Aug. 10.—The collapse of the John G. Myers company's department store on Tuesday, which resulted in the death of thirteen persons and probably the fatal injury of two others, will be investigated by a special commission consisting of William A. Cattell, civil engineer of New York; William F. Hanrahan, contractor and builder, of Scheenclad, and John Magill, mason and contractor of Troy. BETTER DAYS IN SIGHT FOR RUSSIA St. Petersburg, Aug. 9.—The Russian national assembly, the first gathering together of the representatives of the Muscovite people since Emperor Alexis Michaelovitch, the second of the Romanoffs, summoned the last semsky sobor in the seventeenth century, will be proclaimed on Saturday next. The final session of the special committee which has been considering the project as drafted by the minister of the interior, Boulign, and elaborated by the council of ministers was held at Peterhof today. Its verdict upon the project as a whole was favorable and at the conclusion of session, before the assembled grand dukes, ministers, senators and other members of the committee, Emperor Nicholas the seal of his approval thereto. Though the project has undergone a number of changes during the various conferences at Peterhof, it is understood that its main outlines are substantially in accord with the project as it emerged from the council of ministers and has been described in the dispatches from time to time. In principal the national assembly will be a deliberative and consultative body for the discussion of measures delivered before it by the emperor or his ministers. It will have the power to force the withdrawal of ministerial propositions by a two-thirds vote, which gives it almost a negative control over the legislation. It will be a large body probable of over 500 members by a system of indirect elections, and the first session it is understood, will be held in November. The elections will take place in October. A.

Twelve by no means marks the extent of the servant's friends, and those unhidden to the feast concluded that after all they did not think much of it. One of the more progressive started the report that instead of 'possum the host served plain coons. The next day, with great severity, Mr. Clemens said to the servant "Jim, I've known you a long time and found you a truthful fellow. I want you to tell me honestly which you had for dinner last night 'possum or coons?'

A company has recently been organized at Rendsburg, Prussia, for the purpose of distilling alcohol from peat.

When we look at it in a mean 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 is and what wonderful people we find in it—Boston Christian Register. Pride and Vanity. The foundation of pride is the wish to respect one's self, whatever others may think; the mainspring of vanity is the craving for the admiration of others, no matter at what cost to one's self-respect.—F. Marion Crawford. Resents Reference to "Coppera." "What do you mean by talking about 'copper's before me?" said a London magistrate to a man in the dock.

Not long ago the wife of a millionaire ordered 200 of these from a local firm and they cost her just $10 each. The cards were made of ivory edged, with gold, the name of the guest and hostess be on one side, and the other being hand-painted. Cards at $12 each are quite common. Silence for a Month. A curious custom provals in Bulgaria which must be a hard penalty for the woman who loves to hear the sound of her own voice. All newly-married women are obliged to remain dumb, for a month after marriage, except when addressed by their husbands. When it is desirable to remove this restriction permanently the husband presents her with a gift, and then she can chatter to her heart's content. A Mourning Gift It is so difficult to know what present to give to a friend who has recently suffered a bereavement that we have nothing but praise for the enterprising American firm which has just produced a pack of playing cards for bridge with mourning borders.—Punch.
