The corner stone of the Union Congregational church was laid last Sunday afternoon with a beautiful ceremony, amid the sound of many eloquent addresses. The crowd was very large, even with threatening rain clouds and a cool chilling wind, yet the large crowd remained fully two hours. There was music by the choir; Invocation by Rev. T. L. Griffith, that able and good Christian man from Corinthian Baptist church; scripture reading by Rev. Rosenberger of Greenwood Congregational church; greetings from the churches of the city by Rev. J. W. Day, that earnest and eloquent man from the Presbyterian church; address by our beloved Governor, A. B. Cummins; address by Judge W. H.

Cole, Dean of Drake University Law College, delivered a fine address; the Rev. T. O. Douglas made a good address. Then a collection was lifted and pledges received. H. W. Hughes read what records the box contained; among the things deposited was a Holy Bible, constitution of Iowa and the United States, copy of the first minutes of the organizing of the church, with the names of the charter members, two copies of the Iowa State Bystander, a list of all the Sunday School children, with officers, the names of the auxiliaries of the church, etc. Rev. H. W. Porter laid the corner stone, which was simple brief and beautiful. Thus the second great epoch was witnessed and recorded in the erection of this church. BACK TO SCHOOL AGAIN. The glad ring of the old familiar school bell this week again after having been silent about three months, brought joy to the archins, the boys and girls. It also reminded the older ones of ye by gone school days. No doubt thousands and thousands of children answered this bell call with their presence in the school room, eager to begin the years research for knowledge and learning; and well they should be, for those golden opportunities to secure knowledge does not always come or always remain long with us. Our urgent advice to every boy and girl of school age is to make use of these golden opportunities. Ye parents, you ought to see that they go at once to school. If you do not you are neglecting your duty to your children. Let no excuse keep them out of school, thus depriving them of the free public learning. Don't let pride, proverty, style or society keep them from school. Remember the old adage, "first seek knowledge and wisdom and all else will come." LABOR DAY. Last Monday was a legal holiday to our state and to many other states, known as Labor day or a holiday for organized labor. So it was on last Monday more than a million of the American laborers marched to the sound of music in parade; perhaps more than five million of people viewed them with pleasure. In short it was a rest day from our labor, for nearly all the people are laborers. This holiday is one of the many benefits that organized labor has been able to accomplish. Labor should be organized and have their unions, for they are a great benefit to humanity. They can be of a great deal more benefit when they will lay that race hatred and color prejudice down and admit all true and worthy laborers, regardless of color; give every man a square deal; don't try and keep the Negro out of your unions and then when a strike comes beg him not to take your places, or cry Negro domination; when your unions should have permitted him to join in time of peace. Accept him as a brother and co-worker. All we ask as a race is an equal chance in life, a man's chance. We have to live and support our families. Therefore if your unions are true and loyal American citizens you cannot deny your brother the same rights, privileges and protection that you yourself expect. Treat him right and labor day will mean more for all people. PEACE Peace, sweet peace, that will ultimately bring joy to the world has at last come by the two waring powers, Russia and Japan, having signed a treaty of peace through their plenipotentiaries here assembled in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. A few weeks ago when these distinguished diplomats came here we could hardly expect them to have come to peace terms, but our gallent, brave, loyal hearted president, Theodore Roosevelt, urged upon them for the sake of suffering humanity, with its thousands of homes made desolate and unhappy by the death from shot and shell. While upon the face of the treaty it seems that Russia got the best of it, whereas Japan should have for they won. While it may be a benefit to Russia, it is still a greater benefit to Japan. For she has established herself as a nation of dark people worthy to be conisdered by all powers. Then it will give Japan a better standing financially. No doubt Russia was sick of this war, for it was an expensive one; the distance being so far from their home, and then again having such internal strife and uprising. In fact let us too rejoice that the war is over and nations now are at peace. Let us settle down and develop the land and the physical man and help make the world better. OB1TUARY. Mr. John Davis, age 17 years, died at the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James Davis, 512 Crocker street, last Friday evening at 9 p.m. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. H. O. Breeden of the Central Christian church at 3 o'clock, from the family residence. Interment in Woodland cemetery. It is with a degree of sorrow and sadness that we chronicle the death of Mrs. Martha Jane Walker, the wife of our well known and highly esteemed citizen, John Walker. She died August 30. Mrs. Walker was born in Clay county, Mo., March 21, 1858. She came to Decatur county, Ia., from Missouri, then to Osceola, where the family lived until 17 years ago when they moved to this city where they have since lived. She leaves a sister, a loving husband and seven children with other relatives and a host of friends to mourn her death. She had been a constant sufferer for many years, yet her pleasant manners and kind ways won for her the affections of all with whom she came in contact. She was a faithful member of the A. M. E. church, from which the funeral services were held Sunday afternoon, conducted by Rev. H. S. Graves, assisted by others. There were many flowers as a token of respect. Her relatives from Osceola were all present. The pall bearers were Jeff Logan Adam Dixon, W. H. Humburd, Alex Birney, D. A. Boamer and Mr. Clipper. The remains were laid to rest in Woodland cemetery. The Bystander has known this good woman from infancy up and we most sincerely extend our condolence to the bereaved family.

The event of Friday's session was the visit of Mr. John Wanamaker, the American merchant prince. He spoke frankly and forcefully and to the point, pointing out the shortcomings of the Negro, the warmest admiration the ticetic for the warmest admiration for his aspirations and virtues. After announcing that he could not make a speech, but to view the assemblage so that he might form an idea from its personnel character of the men and women who were exerting themselves in the intellectual and commercial endeavor. Wanamaker said in part: "You are beginning at the best time America ever had. You are at a moment of great responsibility, because the world is watching closely every city for citizenship and for a right place in the conduct of business with other men. I want to voice a deep conviction that success or failure is not a matter of race, face or place. It is a matter of grace. The same grace of God which gives the white man that he is a hero, who has honor does for him, that is just as much yours as if, while I speak to you, your faces should be turned white." He contended that if Negroes were being crowded out of occupations once adjudged their particular property, that the German, Swiss and native American whites have been giving more efficient service and hence were winning in the competition with the Negro, who was neglecting golden opportunities. Mr. Wanamaker's talk was listened to with many evidences of his intelligence and the Chaitanqua salute was given as a mark of especial appreciation. During the day the program of papers was cleared up, and among those who appeared were T. L. Grant of Arkansas; A. A. Turner of Ohio; S. Lating Willips of Chicago; J. A. Lankford of Washington, D. C.

Thomas Fortune presented the report of the committee on resolutions, which declared in favor of more generous efforts to plant local lakes in every community, and strive for larger opportunities in business houses where who are now compelled to accept beggary pay for hard and unsatisfactory labor. The National Negro Business League is doing a noble work in teaching the Negro masses the gospel of intelligent thrift, and the sacredness of service that makes for the happiest life. The achievement of the League has been an improvement over the preceding ones. This is an indisputable evidence that the influence of the organization is cumulative and expansive. In the constantly increasing interest throughout the land and in the phenomenal multifaceted growth of the League a result of these yearly conferences and experience meetings, the National Negro Business League finds ample Justification for its continued existence.

An alleged combination of the delegates of Boston, Chicago, New York, St. Louis, and Philadelphia to control the action of the convention is being fought by the officers. The test will come on election of officers. The mutual benefit plan will be discussed tomorrow morning. Will Run Good Roads Trains Will Run Good Roads Trains. Ames, Sept. 6.

Boone Loses Some Prestige Boone, Sept. 8—Northwestern conductors in this city, for years the division headquarters, have received notices that the passenger division will be removed from Boone to Beille airport. Some such change of divisions has been rumored many times, but this is the first time that tangible corroboration could be obtained. The conductors are not willing that the management made, and this city is resisting that the company will resound its action. Safe Robbers at Meservex Meservey, Sept. 8. $— The hardware store of C. Enabitt, Sr., here, was broken into Wednesday evening and robbed of $200 in money and goods. The thieves made their entrance through the rear door, which they pried open with a crowbar. Very little money was found in the till, but they succeeded in cracking the safe. Some $140 worth of sawdust was found, and the robbers were taken. No one has been obtained of the wishing articles. Des Moines, Sept. 5. "The Almighty could not raise a good crop of corn even in Iowa with the kind of seed corn the Iowa farmer uses." Such a statement made yesterday by Hon. John Cownie, government crop reporter for the state of Iowa, set Iowa people thinking. Mr. Cownie backs up his assertion with an argument which seems worthy of consideration. "The corn fields of Iowa at the present time offer an object lesson in regard to the value of good seed corn that would be of inestimable benefit to the farmers of the state, and that this all important question demands. "While there is a large acreage of corn in Iowa that gives promise of an excellent yield, there is also a very large acreage that will be very disappointing. The corn fields appear promising from the highway, or a railway car, but when examined by a close observer who understands corn culture at its best, it is seen that the stand is very uneven, there being a large number of stalks with only one stalk, a great many with two stalks, a limited number with the ideal condition of three stalks in each hill, a good many hills with four or even more stalks, which is even worse than only one or two stalks or three stalks, these thick set hills will produce only nubbies. "Such conditions are proof positive of poor seed, and the farmer evidently used a good sized seed plate to make amends for his negligence in not securing his seed corn at the right time in the fall. He should proper manner until the planting season in the spring of 1865." FIRE WIPES OLD TOWN OFF MAP Sigourney, la., Sept. 6.—The town of Lancaster, once an aspirant for the state capitol and a rival of Des Moines, was wiped off the map Monday night by the burning of the Gillland Bros.' store and residence. Two small churches and a couple of residences is all that remains of what once promised to be a metropolis of the state. Lancaster was the first county seat of Keokun county. It is two miles southwest of the present county seat, to Lancaster county seat was moved after a hot fight a number of years ago. In the early 40s and 50s Lancaster was a thriving place. It had several stores and was a stopping place for all stage lines running east and west through the center of the state. When the railroad came through the town, a final ultimate demanded for promotion and the town was left off the line. As a result the town of Sigourney sprung up and soon outdistanced its rural competitor. The fire last evening was caused by a defective flue. A fire had been started in the store on account of the cool weather. The store and the side by side and both were a total loss with contents. The loss is $4,000, with $2,000 insurance. YOUNG SCHAEFFER IS IN SINGAPORE Iowa City, Sept. 8.—In a measure at least, the long time mystery surrounding the disappearance of George S. Schaeffer, son of the late President Charles A. Schaeffer of the State university, has been solved. His mother and sisters have found him in Singapore, India, where he is a non-commissioned officer in the British army. Some months ago Mrs. Schaeffer, who is living in the east, met a girl in India who believed that her son had gone to India. She immediately took up the trail and followed it persistently, with the result that she has received a letter from him explaining his whereabouts and something about his actions following his disappearance. Whether he made known his motives for leaving so strangely is not known; his whereabouts have been given by his relatives. Young Schaefler's disappearance, Sept. 2, 1902, caused a distinct sensation, not merely in Iowa, where he was well known, but also in Philadelphia. He was a graduate of the practice of law. He had graduated from the State university and from the University of Pennsylvania law school with honors, and his married wife, Eleanor, was a considerable measure of success in Philadelphia. His financial affairs were not entangled, and he had a comfortable competence for a young man not only because that he had personal affairs, but to prompt him to disappear as he did. Wealthy Keokuk Farmer Killed. Sigourney, Ia., Sept. 6. Reeve Jones, a wealthy farmer residing near here, took his wife to the staircase and her on a Pullman bound for Portland, Ore. Jones jumped from the train, slipped on the wet platform and was ground to death by the sleeper where he had placed his wife on the ground and plucked acres of the finest farm land in this county. He is reputed to be wealthy. He had long promised his wife an extended trip and had intended accompanying her but felt that he needed to work for the farm work. He was sixty years of age. His body was cut in taut. Died on Operating Table Cedar Rapids, Sept. 7.—William Bryant, a well known Marion horseman, died on the operating table yesterday while undergoing an operation for cancer. He was under the influence of ether. Falls Under Wheels. Cedar Rapids, Sept. 7.—Frank Blickert, aged forty-five years, of Cedar county, fell from a traction engine under the wheels of a separator and was instantly killed. He was a well-to-do farmer. Many fatal blunders are due to the belief that friendly advice was not entirely disinterested. FEVER'S AFTER EFFECTS FEVER'S AFTER EFFECTS Did Not Disappear Until the Blood Was Renewed by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Typhoid fever is sometimes called nervous fever. During the course of the fever the nerves are always profoundly disturbed, and when it is over they are left so sensitive that the patient has to be guarded against all excitement. In the tonic treatment then demanded, must be paid not only to building up flesh but also to strengthening the nerves. A remedy that will do both, make sound flesh to repair waste and give it a new conventual and economical. Such a remedy is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. One proof of this is the experience of Mr. Charles Worth, of East Vassalboro, Maine. He says: "I had a severe attack on my right hip, and the left left arm was very weak and debilitated. My heart palpitated, my breathing became difficult after the last exertion and there was numbness in both hands. I suffered in that way for a long time, and it did not in fact see the slightest improvement as time passed. I decided to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills as I knew of some cures they had effected in cases like mine. I was able to see them, taking them I could see decided improvement and after keeping on with them for several weeks I was completely well. I consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a more valuable remedy, and I am in the habit of recommending them to others affected When the nerves ache and tremble it means that they are starming. The only way to feed them is through the blood, and the best food is Dr. Williams' medicine. They are absolutely guaranteed to be free from opiates or other harmful drugs. They are sold by all drugists, or may be obtained directly from the Dr. Williams Medicine Co., Scheuencady, N.Y. A girl can have an awful good time thinking how somebody else isn't. Shepherdes believe that the wool on a living sheep is an unfalling barometer. The curler the wool, the finer will be the weather. No matter how young a Korean widow may be, she never remarries. If she had only been married a week or a month before the death of her husband, she will not espouse his successor. Mr. Sola Hastings, of Southbury, Conn., is an ingenious man. He set a deer trap on his land, and at midnight the house dogs barked and yelled, arousing the family. Mr. Hastings rushed to the trap, and in it, caught by the leg, was his mother-in-law, Mrs. Dorothy Taylor. The old lady is a sleepwalker. Bishop Nile of New Hampshire, had a singular experience while attending the recent Episcopal convention in Boston. The Bishop, who is a very tall, heavy man, was seated on one of the low settees in the public garden, and when he started to get up found that he had great strength. In the midst of his struggles a weet tot of a little girl came along and offered her assistance. The Bishop ceased trying to rise, and, after surveying the little girl critically, replied that she was too small to help. The little girl presisted that she could help, but the Bishop was not willing. "Well, said the little girl finally, 'I've helped grandpa lots of times when he was lots drunker than you are.'"

Monticello, Miss., Sept. 4 (Special) —Lawrence County is almost always in receipt of fresh evidence that a sure cure for all Kidney Troubles has at last been found, and that cure is Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Mark Twain, in his lecturing days, reached a small Eastern town one afternoon, and went before dinner to a barber's to be shaved. The barber having ascertained that his customer was a stranger, informed him that there was to be a lecture in town that evening-Mark Twain lecture. The humorist said no thought he would attend. "Weil," said the barber, "the tickles are about all sold out, and if you don't hurry, you will have to have to. Dear me!" Mr. Clemens exclaimed; "it seems as if I always do have to stand when I hear that man Twain lecture." DON'T MISS THIS. A Cure for Stomach Trouble—A New Method by Absorption—No Drugs DO YOU BEELCH?

MASS MEETINGS ARE HELD Pass Resolutions Declaring the Nation Humiliated—Becomes Necessary for Police to Disperse Crowds—Attack Government Office. Tokio, Sept. 8.—Marquis Ito, president of the privy council, has been stoned by mobs. Tokio, Sept. 8.—It is reported that there is rioting in Chiba, a town with a population of 20,000, twenty miles east of Tokio. The prefectorate building and the court house are reported to have been burned. The government has suspended the further publication of the Niroku, a newspaper printed in Tokio. Tokio, Sept. 8.—Tokio was quiet yesterday. General Sakuma, commander of the Tokio garrison, has issued a proclamation warning the populace against disorder. An imperial ordinance establishes martial law in Tokio. A unarmed and destroy- en Christian churches and one mission school Wednesday night. Peting, Sept. 7—Messages received here from a good source at Tokio represent the situation there as grave. The Japanese government is apparently censoring telegrams. Tokio, Sept. 7—Rioting broke out here Tuesday night in connection with the dissatisfaction over the results of the peace settlement. There were several clashes with the police and it is estimated that two were killed and five hundred wounded. The rioting ceased at midnight. Police stations were the only property destroyed. Tokio, Sept. 5.—(Delayed in transmission.) The first turbulence attendant on the popular anger over the terms of peace arranged with Russia took place today. A mass meeting to protest against the action of the government was called to take place at Hibiya park, but the metropolitan government was attacked and attended to prevent the assemblage of the people. The municipality protested against the action of the police, and finally the gates were thrown open and a large crowd gathered and voted in favor of resolutions declaring the nation humiliated and denouncing the terms upon which the treaty of peace was arranged. The crowd was serenaded by the police and the police handled it discreetly. The gathering eventually dispersed in an orderly manner. Later on, however, a crowd attempted to hold a meeting in the Shimino theater, but the police dispersed it. A portion of the crowd then proceeded to the office of Kokumin Shinbun, the government organ, and began boiling. Three employees of the police department, at the door of the building and checked the attack, and the police again dispersed the crowd. It was thought that the trouble had passed, when suddenly a portion of the crowd made a rush for the building, hurled stones and damaged some of the machinery. Several persons were injured during the attack, and clearly cleared the streets of the crowd and arrested a number of rioters. The disorder is not general and the situation is not serious. Similar meetings have been held at Osaka and Nagoya, which in round terms denounced the government and asked them to resign. General sentiment throughout the country seems to favor reactionary measures, but it is clear that people will eventually accept the result of the peace conference, however disappointing it may be. ADVANCE OF THE CHOLERA IN GERMANY Berlin, Sept. 8.—An official bulletin just issued announces that fifteen new cases of cholera and six deaths were reported during the twenty-four hours at noon yesterday, making a total of 105 cases and 32 deaths.

Schoenberg—Robert Bacon of New York has been appointed assistant secretary of state, in succession to Francis B. Loomis, resigned. President Roosevelt authorized today the official announcement of the appointment of Mr. Bacon. The appointment of Mr. Bacon was agreed upon almost immediately after Elhuh Root had accepted the office of secretary of state, but was not announced. Mr. Bacon for many years had been an important factor in business life and in the world. He was a year or so ago a junior partner in the banking house of J. P. Morgan & Co. Trust Case Bestpomed Chicago, Sept. 6.—Government prosecution of Chicago packers for alleged violation of the anti-trust laws was scheduled to begin yesterday, but instead there was delay.

H., Sept. 6. — The Russo-Japanese peace treaty treats with a preamble reciting that His Majesty the Emperor and Autocrat of all the Russians, and His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, desiring to close the straits and appoint their respective plenipotentiaries and furnished them with full powers, which were found to be in due form, have come to an agreement on a treaty of peace, the details of which are as follows: the re-establishment of peace and friendship between the sovereigns of the two empires and between the subjects of Russia and Japan respectively. 2.

However, the rights of private parties or private enterprises are to be respected. Both parties to this treaty remain absolutely free to undertake that they fit on appropriated ground. 7. Russia and Japan engage themselves to make a conjunction of the two branch railroad lines which they own and operate at Kouang-Cheng-Tse. 8.

Says He Has Found Doan's Kidney Pills invaluable in Treating Sick Kidneys. Hon. Timothy D. Sullivan of New York, Member of Congress from the Eighth New York District, and one of the Democratic leaders of New York State, strongly recommends Doan's Kidney Pills. Senator Sullivan writes: A. H. B. "It is a pleasure to endorse a remedy like Doan's Kidney Pills, having found them of great value in eliminating the distress caused by sick kidneys, and in restoring those organs to a condition of health.

A reporter who had annoyed him by foolish questions once capped the cliché "I'm going to remove Mr. Conger, minister to China, or was going to ask his resignation, "Neither," answered Mr. Root; "I think that the Oriental will endure the Oriental subfurge of sending him a poisoned letter." Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz. one-full pound - while all other Cold Water Starchs are put up in ¾-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocery tries to sell you a 12 oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand, but to dispose of it you put in Defiance Starch that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 oz." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. A compositor's blunder forced an Oklahoma editor to suddenly change his place of residence. He wrote a report of a local wedding, in which he referred to a "pink-face" bride. The wicked composer made it "pickle-face" bride. Now the editor is in a distant city, trying to adjust the matter over a long-distance telephone. The bride's big brother carries a gun, and the editor knows it. Cock crowing is to be suppressed in Portsmouth, England. An ordinance to that effect has been passed by the city council. The chicken fanciers declare it cannot be suppressed, but the London News says that a partial remedy consists in placing the rooster's perch so high that the knocks his head against the roof and desists. A swinging board hung over his head answers the same purpose. A German, whose wife was sick at a hospital, called the first evening she was there and inquired how she was getting along. He was told that she was improving. Next day he cried again and asked. "Old lady she was getting along. This time some time, each day the report being that his wife was improving. Finally, one night when he called he was told that his wife was dead. Seeing the doctor, he went up to him and said, with a world of sarcasm in his voice: "Vell, doctor, vat did she die of—imbrevments". A bright little boy recently wrote to a Pennsylvania legislator asking for a report of the State Fish Commission. The member, who is a relative of the youth, was greatly pleased at the request and exhibited it in the State Capitol. He wrote the boy, however, asking him what report was wanted, explaining that a volume was issued yearly. Whether he ever showed the boy's reply to his friends or not he has leaked out his report. "I want to know what it is. I all want is any old thing heavy enough to press wild flowers." OUST THE DEMON. A Tussle with Coffee. There is something fairly demonical in the way coffee sometimes wreaks its fiendish malice on those who use it. A lady writing from Calif. says: "My husband and I, both lovers of coffee, suffered for some time from a very annoying form of nervousness, accompanied by most frightful headaches. In my own case there was eventually developed some sort of affection of the nerves leading from the spine to the head. "I was unable to hold my head up straight, the tension of the nerves drew it to one side, causing me the most intense pain. We got no relief from medicine, and were puzzled as to what caused the trouble, until a friend suggested that possibly the coffee we drank had something to do with it, and advised that we quit it and try Poptin Coffee. "We followed his advice, and from the day that we began to use Postum we both began to improve, and in a very short time both of us were entirely relieved. The nerves became steady once more, the headaches ceased, the muscles in the back of my neck relaxed, my head straightened, the dreadful pain that had so punished me what I used the old kind of coffee vanked. "We have never resumed the use of the old coffee, but relish our Postum every day as well as we did the former beverage. And we are delighted to find that we can give it freely to our children also, something we never dared to do with the old kind of coffee." Name given by Postum. Poet, Battle Creek, Mich.

A rather tough fish story is told by a gentleman in Yorkshire, England, and he is willing to take his affidavit that it is true. While he was sitting by the River Leven a pile jumped from the water, bit him severely on the foot, and jumped back again. Washington White, a famous colored man of Boston was once observed sitting his himself to and fro. A friend inquired if he were ill, and receiving a negative reply, said: "Then why are you weaving back and forth like that?" Washington White made no pause in his regular oscillations, as he said: "Cahoon, you know Jerome the silver watcher for free dollars, and if I stops a moving like dis yere de watch don't go no mo!" Secretary Hay detested all unnecessary and wanton falsehood. For the sort of diplony that rots essentially upon tergiceration he had a most hearty contempt. One of his sayings is famous in the diplomatic world. It was used of a certain titled European, not now a member of the corps at Washington. "When the count comes to talk to me," said Mr. Harper, "I am certain whether or not the man is lying. I know he is lying. What I try to find out is why he is telling that particular ile." When the Shah was in Paris last year, he was accompanied by an official named Mahmoud Khan, who is not with him now. A French Journalist who remembered Mahmoud well, put some questions about him, the other day, to a member of the Shah's retinue. "What has become of Mahmoud that I inquired the journaler that he had asked?" the answer. "Poor fellow. But surely he was young and seemed to enjoy excellent health." "It was excellent," assented the Persian functionary. "Was he ill very long?" "No, monsieur. He was not ill at all. He died when he was ill." "How it happened?" The Persian functionary explained (with a slightly embarrassed air): "He was not sympathetic to the grand vizier."

SIGN THEIR NAMES TOGETHER Witte and Komura Affix Signatures at Same Time—Rosen Makes Short Speech and Baron Komura Responds in Complimentary Vein. Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 6.—The treaty of Portsmouth was signed shortly before 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon in the conference room of the navy general store at the navy yard. The firing of a national salute of nineteen guns was the signal which told the people of Portsmouth, Kittrey and Newcastle that the peace of Portsmouth was an accomplished fact, and the church bells in the three towns were soon pealing forth a joyful refrain.

Suddenly an orderly dashed to the entrance of the peace building and waved his hand to the gunner a few seconds later. As the salute rang out on the clear air of the soft September afternoon proclaiming peace between Russia and Japan. Three o'clock was the hour set for the final session of the conference. At five o'clock a heavy thunderstorm was in progress, but as M. Witte and Baron de Rosen left the hotel in an automobile at 2:25 for the navy air, the rain had stopped. When Baron Komura was in the automobile (twenty minutes later the sun suddenly shone, which called for the remark from Baron Komura: "It is a good omen for peace."

SOLDIERS ARE POWERLESS Have Been Forced to Withdraw From Suburb—Viceroy of Caucasus Has Dispatched Troops But They Will Be Unable to Cope With Situation St. Petersburg, Sept. 8.—The desperate condition of affairs at Baku is shown by a telegram from the governor of Baku, who has sent an urgent dispatch to Tiflis saying that his troops are surrounded by Tartars and will inevitably be overwhelmed until immediately relieved. Baku, Caucasus, Sept. 8. The principal fighting is not in Baku itself, but at Bakhkan, where hundreds have been shot by the infantry and artillery and where one thousand were killed or wounded during a desperate attack on the military camp and the troops sustained few casualties. The troops sustained few casualties. number of workmen barricaded themselves in the Bakhkan hospital. The soldiers began the attack with rifle fire and then stormed the hospital and completed their work with bayonets. Tiflis, Caucasus, Sept. 8. The manager of the Mantashto company telegrams from Baku that the Ribichak plants have been burned out, that the depots of the Caspian railroad have been destroyed, and that the railroad has been surrounded by thousands of armed Tartars. St. Petersburg, Sept. 7.—The news from Baku received up to the time of filing this dispatch is of the gloomiest character. The Armenian and Tartar warring factions now appear to be entirely beyond control. The streets of Baku seem to be unsafe and the troops to be inadequate to restrain the anarchical tendencies of the combatants in the surrounding regions. According to reliable reports the troops have been forced to withdraw from the suburb of Balshakan, where the Tartar oil works, and that place is now in the hands of the Tartars who have completed the work of destruction and who it is said massacred the inhabitants who it is said massacred the inhabitants in their retirement. Telephone calls from Baku and the suburban oil centers is cut and late last night it was reported that the wires into Baku were The vicector of the Caucasus has dispatched reinforcements of troops from Tiflis, but owing to the conditions throughout the whole of the southern Caucasus of the Caucasus with these reinforcements the troops will be inadequate to cope with the situation. In the suburban region, the fighting is desperate and the soldiers are using artillery. Representatives of the oil industry here are utterly despondent and they declare that on the basis of the telegrams so far received from the Baku region has been wiped out and that the fire is making rapid inroads into the remainder of the oil territory. The Baku representative of a prominent oil company has telegraphed to his St. Petersburg headquarters as follows: "It is no longer a question of saving out property, but one of getting out alive."

Physicians Recommend Castoria CASTORIA has met with pronounced favor on the part of physicians, pharmaceutical societies and medical authorities. It is used by physicians with results most gratifying. The extended use of Castoria is unquestionably the result of three facts: First—The indisputable evidence that it is harmless; Second—That it not only allays stomach pains and quiets the nerves, but assimilates the food: Third—It is an agreeable and perfect substitute for Castor Oil. It is absolutely safe. It does not contain any Opium, Morphine, or other narcotic and does not stupefy. It is unlike Soothing Syrups, Bateman's Drops, Godfrey's Cordial, etc. This is a good deal for a Medical Journal to say. Our duty, however, is to expose danger and record the means of advancing health. The day for poisoning innocent children through greed or ignorance ought to end. To our knowledge, Castoria is a remedy which produces composure and health, by regulating the system—not by stupefying it—and our readers are entitled to the information.—Hall's Journal of Health.

W THE IDEAL WIFE Shapes the Destiny of Men—The Influence of a Healthy Woman Cannot Be Overestimated. Mrs. Bessie Ainsley Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Succeeds Where Others Fail. Letters from Prominent Physicians Addressed to Charles H. Fletcher. Dr. B. Halstead Scott, of Chicago, Ill., says, "I have prescribed your Castoria often for infants during my practice, and it find it very satisfactory." Dr. William Belmont, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "Your Casteria stands first its soils. A thirty years of practice I can say I never have found anything that filled the place." Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Casteria and found it an excellent remedy in my household and private practice for many years. The formula is excellent." Dr. J. H. Taft, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I am pleased to teach a good word for your Casteria. I think so highly of it that I not only recommend it to others, but have used it in my own family." Dr. R. J. Hauken, of Detroit, Mich., says: "I prescribe your Casteria externally and I have never found anything to equit for children's troubles. I am aware that there are imprints in the field, but I always see that my patients get Fletcher's." Dr. Wm. I. McCann, of Omaha, Neh., says: "As the father of thirteen children I certainly know something about your great medicine and side from my own experiences of practice found Casteria a popular and efficient remedy in almost every home." Dr. J. R. Claussen, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "The name that your Casteria has certainly comes from tens of thousands blessed by the process of children, starety needs by the process of practice, fession, but I, for one, most heartily encourse it and believe it an excellent remedy." Dr. Channling H. Cook, of St. Louis, Neh., says: "I have used your Casteria for children and never objected to by children, which is a great consideration in what is the most medicines of this character are obsoous and therefore difficult of administration. As a negative, I consider it of anything that I ever prescribed." Dr. R. M. Ward, of Kansas City, Me., says: "Physicians generally do not prescribe any medicine for many or many other physicians, has taught me to make an exception. I prescribe Casteria in my practice because I have found it to be a thoroughly reliable remedy for children's complaints. An physician who has raised a family, I have with Seven-eighths of the men in this world marry a woman because she is beautiful in their eyes—but not in the ones which inspire admiration, respect and love. There is a beauty in health which is more attractive to men than more regularity of feature. There is a glorious in the possession of perfect physical health upon men and upon the civilization of the world, the public life, the future of them men have attained the very heights of ambition; because of them even thrones have been established and dearest what a disappointment, then, to see the fair young wife's beauty fading away before a year passes over the dead and dead-alive woman, especially when she is the mother of a family, is a damper to all joyousness, drag upon her husband. The cost of a wife's constant illness is a serious drain upon the funds of a household, and too often all the doctors in town find her energies are fagging, and that everything tires her, dark shadows appear under her eyes her sleep is disturbed by horrible dreams; if she has backache, headache, bearing-down pains, nervousness, aching muscles, or dozen deny, she should rest her system up at once by a tonic with specific powers, such as Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. This great remedy for women has done more in the way of restoring health to the women of America than any other remedy. It is the safeguard of women's health. Following we publish, by request, a letter from a young wife. Mrs. Bessie Ainsley of 611 South 10th Street, Tacom, Wash., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Ever since my child was born I have not suffered, as I hope few women have, with inflammation, female workiness, bearing down pain. I have always affected my stomach so that I could not eat my meals, and half my time was spent in bed. Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com If some men knew as much as they pretend to know they would know ever so much more than the majority of men. A widower in Harvey County, Kan., having become tired of single blessedness, took home his second wife and introduced her to the children by saying, "His is your new mamma," looked at her critically, and the young blunted out; "Is that the best you could do, papa?" When Answering Advertisements Kindly Mention This Paper. "Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made me a well woman, and I feel so grateful for it, and tell all of my marriages recovery. It brought me health, new life and vitality." What Lydia F. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound did for Mrs. Ainsley it will do for every woman who is in poor health and ailing. Its benefits begin when its use begins. It gives strength and vigor from the start, and surely makes sick woman well and robust. It makes the E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound hold the record for the greatest number of actual cures of woman's ills. This fact is attested to by the thousands of letters from grateful women which are on file in the Pinkham laboratory. Merit alone can compensate these results. Women should remember that a cure for all female diseases actually exists, and that cure is Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Take no substitute.
