DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1905. DES MOINES COLORED MAN INHERITS FORTUNE. Joseph W. Walker, a citizen of this city, has just been notified that he has come into an inheritance of a large share of $25,000 estate, whose accumulation formed one of the many interesting stories that followed the liberation of the slaves of the south during the civil war. The inheritance came to Mr. Walker through the death of an aged aunt, Mrs. Amanda Moore of Bobtown, Ky. She died Sept. 3, 1905, after she had reached the age of 80 years. She was born a slave and was made free by the war and President Lincoln's emancipation proclamation. REPORT AND ECHOES FROM NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN COUNCIL. Held in Detroit, Mich., by Our Delegate, S. Joe Brown. Below we publish a brief synopsis of the complete and comprehensive report read by our delegate, S. Joe Brown, who represented the local Afro-American Council. He reported at their meeting held last Tuesday evening. Arriving at Detroit, August 20 we went to the A.M. E. church, which is pasted by Dr. D. A. Graham, formerly of Bethal church, Chicago. The council was called order by the president, Hon. W. H. Steward, editor of the American Baptist, Louisville, Ky. Regular delegates from twenty-one different states, numbering more than seventy-five delegates. Most of the delegates are our great race leaders from Massachusetts to Washington, from Michigan to Florida, doctors, lawyers. Clubs and Club Women. Address all communications for these columns to the department editors, Mrs. Dolores Downey, President of the Iowa Bureau of Information, 11 Bashaw street, Oumuwa, Iowa. As the garnered sheaves of the summer's golden prime tell once again the story of the season's change to tumult, the conventional activity of daily life resumes its sway. By an unwritten law almost as strong as legal enactment, the season of the women's club meetings begins with October. The coming season is sure to be an oneway. Let us make it a year of personal development and collective advancement. Let each find out for yourself what you can do to move the work forward, and do it. Do not expect the club president to Prent is the smallest who kings wages and collects clubs. Shout to them. Mrs. Moore accumulated the property through her own efforts almost entirely, caring most assiduously for her small earnings and investing them judiciously. Her husband died during the war. He was a slave, also, but when his freedom came to him he showed his gratitude by enlisting in union army. His life was the cost of his loyalty, for he died while fighting for the flag that made him free. After the death of her husband Mrs. Moore was left on her own resources, but she labored and saved until her property amounted to the considerable sum of $25,000 or more. The estates includes a fine 160 acre plantation within ten miles of Richmond, Va. □Mr. Walker left immediately for Kentucky to participate in the settlement of the estate. There are only three heirs, all of whom live in Iowa. STREET AUTOMOBILE LINE To be Formed by Colored Men of Nashville—Refuse to Ride in Jim Crow Cars. Will Draw No Color Line—Now Have Wagon Line Which Pays—"God Only Knows What. We Have to suffer here" says Parrish New York, Sept. 15.—R. H. Boyd, president of the Penny Savings bank of Nashville, Teen. eas purchased in this city four automobiles for use on a new street automobile line for Negroes in that city. Rev. C. N. Parrish of Louisville, Ky., a Negro educator and a stockholder in the new company said: "A law granting the conductors of the street railways power of police to remove passengers from any seat in the car and to arrest whoever refuses was passed several months ago. It is worded to apply to both, to the blacks and the whites, but it is really enforced only against us and since it was passed several Negros have been arrested for refusing to obey the conductors. As a result the receipts in fares have fallen off $500 a week since the law was passed. The Negroes immediately organized a company of their own and began by using wagons. They found that they owned among themselves 70 vehicles they could use for the purpose. The enterprise has prospered, and yesterday I went with Mr. Boyd to purchase four large steam automobiles that will be run in place of cars. The purpose of the company is to give the Negroes of Nashville equal rights with the whites as passengers. "Only God and ourselves know what we have to submit to sometimes. It is not our purpose to exclude the whites, and as automobiles are something of a novelty in Nashville we expect that the whites will patronize our company." HOMEESEEKERS AND SETTLERS.

REPORT AND ECHOES FROM NAS TIQNAL AFRO-AMERICAN COUNCIL Held in Detroit, Mich., by Our Dele- gate, S. Joe Brown. The closing feature of the council proper was the report of the committee on Resolutions, of which T. Thos. Fortune was the chairman, and which reported a lengthy address to the committee, which contained six important declarations, which were in substance as follows: 1. That largely through the efforts of the national council the number of lynchings have begun to decrease. 2. That full, which contained six important declarations, which were in substance as follows: Weprotest against the disqualifying laws obviously in contact with the foundation of the American people which the American people will yet protest because of the injustice done them by the preponderant political influence enjoyed by the late slave states, because of a basis of representation more advantageous to them than that they enjoyed under the constitution both industrial and higher education. The 4th demands reforms in southern prison regulations. The 5th discourages migration of negroes from the south and the 6th endorses both industrial and higher education. The conclusion we desire to say that the Detroit convention was in many respects a great convention, perhaps the greatest ever held by the National Council in the number of delegates, number of states represented, diversity of sections represented, as well as of the character of the representatives. As secretary of the committee on Credentials your delegate received and paid over to the treasurer $190.00 in membership fees; and as secretary of the committee your delegate received and paid over to the treasurer $104.50 of contributions for the testing of the "Jim Cup" laws, making a total of $294.50 collected at a meeting. Of this amount $144.50 was paid to the treasury a balance of about $150.00. Drake University Foot Ball Schedule. Sept. 30—Penn at Des Moines. Oct. 7—Coe at Cedar Rapids.

As the garnered sleeves of the summer's golden prime tell once again the story of the season's change to autumn, the conventional activity of daily life resumes its sway. By an unanticipated us legal enactment, the season of the club meetings begins with October. The coming season is sure to be another step onward. Let us make it a year of personal development and collective advancement. Let each one find out for yourself what you can do to know the work forward, and do it. Do not expect the club preside to furnish all the fuel for the fire of enthusiasm, but be up and doing and take a live interest in the work of your club. Do your share of the work; you need not do more; when you do less you are shirking and when you do you are letting somebody else shirk. Enter the work with your whole heart. The heart enters so little in our work. Too many women are just dabbling in it with their fingers, looking for personal gain. Let us lay aside self—cease to think we whether from the club, satisfied with the job, the unconscious growth from within. The following rules, taken from the Dellineator, are worth committing to memory. Whereas we are all human and therefore love gossip, let us resolve: That we will cultivate a spirit of love for every other woman in the club as we wish it cultivated for us. That if we hear a word of criticism on another member, her words actions or dress, we will not repeat it. That we will not answer such criticism, except to light something good of her who is assailed. That we will make our club a place where elitism and kindness go hard and ad. That the role is us good a guide to club life is to share that we will adopt it and practice it. Oh, if each one of the three hundred Iowa club women would put that in effect, the effect would be far reaching. Evil is not Igorosece and to "know all is to forget" we think of this every time we are inclined to condemn another woman. Education is full of deep thought, read it carefully; read it aloud: If I should see a sister languishing in And I should turn and leave her comfortess When I might be a messenger of hope and happiness; ... If I might share a sister's load along the dusty way And I should turn and walk the other way; If I could sing a little song to cheer apart— How could I dare kneel at eventide to pray For light along my own heart-heavy way? How could I hope to have my time of grief relieved. If I kept silent when my sister grieved? How could I ask for what I wanted most. If all these opportunities were lost? So, Lord. help me to know That day is lost wherein I fail to lend A helping hand to some good friend, Or bring a bit of sunshine to some suffering heart matter. That walks apart The board of directors of the Iowa Federation met September 19th, being the recipients of the hospitality of the Woman's club of Oskaloosa. The club women did everything possible in the way of arrangements for their participation, and been surpassed in attendance and interest. The meetings were held in the A. M. E. church, which was pretty decorated for the occasion with golden rods and the fall flowers. Music was furnished for the sessions by the Halliburn, and Franklin.

B. Lewis, Davenport, treasurer; Mrs. Helena Downey, Ottumwa, organizer and chairman of Club Extension committee; Mrs. Phoebe Cook, Button, second vice-president; Mrs. Katherine Clinton, chairman of Social Purity, and Mrs. Jones, Osakaloa, chairman of Rescue. In the absence of the chairman of Domestic Science, Mrs. Amy Junkins of Ottumwa, a member of the Board of Directors, Miss Jennie Hardy of Osakaloa represented the Art and Craft committee. The meeting was called to order at 9 o'clock and after the usual form of opening the work of the Club Extension committee was taken up and discussion was begun. It has been divided into ten districts and a superintendent appointed in each district. These superintendents will organize clubs wherever needed, will represent the national clubs and will also urge all clubs to become a member of the national. The chairman of this committee dwelt at length upon the necessity of our clubs uniting with the national clubs and will urge all clubs with the national at once, that they may be represented in Detroit, Michigan, next summer. The work of the Social Purity committee was then taken up, by Mrs. C. H. H. H. said: "We should stop this surface patchwork of Social Purity and go to the foundation of things, and find those principles which shall be universal application. The importance of the prenatal education cannot be overestimated. Strike to make the "startling and immense and beautiful—beginning its education while you have complete control for its existence—endowing it with physical and mental strength—preparing it to be well born. If you sow the seed of selfishness, discord, and impressible stages of life, these conditions become incorporated into the innermost being of the child. In view of this fact the following topics are suggested for the discussion of the course: Prenatal Motherhood. Prenatal Fatherhood. Is it not better that our young earn smaller wages at home, under those who know them, than much larger wages in the city, where every penny of them is spent in the form of their happiness and their purity. Should the story of reproduction be told to children? If so, hbw and at age? The report of the Social Purity committee was discussed at fairs and so many excellent ideas were brought out that a motion prevailed that on the Monday afternoon preceding the convention a Social Purity meeting be held and only women be admitted. Catalogue of the work of the Domestic Science committee was read by Mrs. Amy Junkins of Ottumwa. was full of deep thought, and a motion was made and carried that it be printed in pamphlet form and sent to the children. The work of the Art, Craft and Music committee was discussed. This committee will send out a pamphlet urging the women to take from their walls gaudy pictures and put up the better works of art. They also discourage rag time music, in which we are sowing the seed of civilization and culture. The program for the next annual meeting of the federation was made out and all clubs given a part on the program. ORITUARY (Special to The Bystander.) Ottawa, Iowa, Sept. 27, 1975.

The announcement that the pet hobby of the queen regent of Spain is the collecting of playing cards will excite a feeling of scorn in these prosaic and practical people who don't believe in collecting anything but dollar bills. BRUTAL DETECTIVE SHOOTS A BOY Awful Deed of a Member of Des Moines Detective Force. IS CHARGED WITH MURDER Public Indignation Becomes Thoroughly Aroused and Chief Jones Discharges the Detective and Files Charges Against Him. Des Moines, Sept. 28.—On Tuesday afternoon Detective Frank Brothers shot 12-year-old Howard Wittell, who he claimed, was trying to escape while the detective was after him for having stolen some small article. The bullet, which was of 48 caliber, tore its way through the boy's arm and lodged in the knee. After the shooting the detective, with many curses, dragged the lad a block and a half to the police station, where the city physician gave him attention and he was sent to the hospital. Brothers declared that he did not know the lad was shot; that his revolver had exploded accidentally. Eye-witnesses declare that the shooting was deliberate. A charge of assault with intent to commit murder, was filed against Brothers yesterday afternoon, but this may be withdrawn and a charge of murder substituted. Doctors who operated on the lad yesterday afternoon and evening state that the chances of a murder were high, but the bullet was found to have penetrated the bone of the right leg and to have coured its way through the marrow and settled near the knee joint. The operation failed in getting the bullet and efforts to secure the leaden missile have been dropped. The boy was so nervous last night that he might succumb to the nervous shock. Frank Brothers' relations with the police department was severed yesterday morning when Chief Jones summarily dismissed him from the service. He was suspended the night before. Later Chief Jones filed charges of assault with intent to commit murder against Brothers. The police raigned, pleaded not guilty and was released on bonds fixed at $2,000. The action of Chief Jones in summarily bringing about the dismissal of Brothers from the force was due to the fact that Brothers had been in institution which made itself felt yested. The initiative of Chief Jones and others in bringing about the charges against Brothers was soon followed by the matter being reported to the police. The evidence was laid before the body and the investigation was commenced at once. Ft. Dodge, Sept. 28.—Five children were burned to death as the result of a gasoline stove explosion at the home of Frederick Adamson, an Illinois Central employ, at an early hour yesterday morning. The dead are: Edna Adamson, aged 10, irmis Adamson, aged 8. Clarence Adamson, aged 3. Ernest Adamson, aged 3. Raymond Secord, aged 3. Mr. Anderson left his home for work easter and she left after Mrs. Anderson took out a neighbor. The children were in the upper story in their night clothes when the explosion took place. Raymond Secord was a neighbor's child and had climbed up to the bedrooms of the little Andersons and was with them when the explosion took place. They were all unable to get down stairs and as a result were burned to death. The fire was: discovered by people passing who gave the alarm. When the department arrived the flames were coming out of the bed room windows, where the children were in bed. The firemen were forced to drown out the fire before they could climb out. They were buried with their heads buried in the pillows, the two boys in another room with a neighbor boy who had come in for a visit. All were undressed but the latter. The bodies when taken out were steaming hot and the flesh on the little girls was loose. It required the combined strength of several neighbors to retrain the mother from plunging into the burning building to rescue the children of the family and it is feared the terrible accident will unbalance the minds of the parents. WEALTHY MAN VICTIMIZED. Western . Widow Extracts Money From R. C. Walters. Tipton, Sept. 28. "Cleverly worked by a pretty widow" is the defense made by R. C. Walters, a wealthy businessman who finds himself sued for two notes ¥1,000 each by Katharine, who has worked in his answer to the suit. Walters exposes what he terms a very neat job of extracting money from him. He met Mrs. Ralston at Portland in 1903. When he left her she agreed to show him and wed him. There, he met Mrs. Ralston in a house in Tipton and waited for her. Upon one pretext and another she never came as agreed but always needed money which Walters sent. But she did come a few days ago, when she spent three days in looking him up. Then she met him and agreed to wed him upon receipt of his note for $1,000 to be used in educating her son. Walters gave it with a proviso as to its use. Then she demanded another note but failed and now she has not suited to collect them.

Des Molines, Sept. 25.—The dead body of Frank Callahan of Peonia was found in the Des Molines river eight miles below the city last night. Evidence points to the belief that he was the victim of murders or assaults. The circumstances surrounding his death are nearly parallel to those of the Griswold case, and the connection between the two is so marked as to shatter the suspicion that the mysteries might be but mere coincidences. Frank Callahan disappeared from the town of Griswold, was last seen at the Rock Island depot at 9:30 o'clock in the evening, and since then all trace of him has been absolutely lost, although his father, with the aid of private detectives, has been scouring the state for his body, taken from the river last night, was a sickening reminder of the Griswold tragedy. It was so bloated as to make identification of the features almost an impossibility. A post-mortem showed, according to the report offr. Miller, city physician, that the body was crushed and that no traces of poison could be found on the body. The dudes were not tied, but the right customers pocket had been cut open with a sharp knife in the same manner as one of Griswold's vest pockets were found. His money was gone and his watch chain dangled loose in his vest pocket, with the watch chain also valuable found on his person, but his minor personal effects, so far as could be seen, were intact. The body was found in the river about a mile below Levy, a small town on the Burlington road, about seven miles southeast of the city, and near the harbor where the swimming and Harvey Keller, two small boys, who were swimming in the river between 5 and 6 o'clock in the evening.

ACETYLENE EXCELS AS AN ILLLED MINANT. Use for Lighting Formerly Confined to Cities and Large Towns, now in General Use in the Country. The satisfactory lighting of suburban and country homes requires that the means used shall be convenient, safe, economical and furnish a brilliant, penetrating, effulgent light. Everybody admits that these are not the characteristics of the candle or kerosene lamp, which, formerly, were the only feasible means of producing light for domestic use in the rural districts. For generations there was a crying need, a yearning for something better, which was not satisfied. A few years ago deliverance came in the shape of chemical compound, Calcium Carbide, which the simple application of water, the gas Acetylene is derived. Acetylene meets all the requirements fully and admirably and is being generally used. Common line and carbon in the form of coke or coal are the raw materials which, fused in an intensely heated furnace, make Calcium Carbide, and there is no difficulty in obtaining it in any part of the country. The machine into which the Calcium Carbide is made and from which the Acetylene is distributed through the building to be lighted, is but little larger than a thirty-gallon milk can, and of the same general form. It is easily and cheaply installed, either in the cellar or in an out-building. The light from burning Acetylene is exquisite, and lighting experts agree that it surpasses all other known illumination devices. It does not strain the strainer and is not objectionable in any respect. Every up-to-date rural residence should be equipped with Acetylene light. A teacher in one of New York's public schools, in the course of a lesson on "Natural History," was explaining to her class of boys the harm that had been done to the trees in the city by worms, and then went on telling how the English sparrows had been imported to kill the worms, and that the sparrows had increased so in numbers that they had become as bad as the worms. Noticing the worms, the warrior added, the said to one of them "Tommy, whio you do think are the worst, the worms or the sparrows?" "I don't know," said Tommy; "I never had the sparrows." CHRONIC ERYSIPELAS Cured by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, Although Whole Body was Affected. Erysipelas or St. Anthony's fire is a most uncomfortable disease on account of the burning, the pain and the disarray. The doctor, in order, order, always by the danger of involving vital organs in its spread. The case which follows will be read in detail. The victim affected the whole body, and refused to yield to the remedies prescribed by the physician employed. Mrs. Ida A. Colbath, who was the victim of the attack, was born in Newburyport, Mass., says: "In June of 1908 I was taken ill with what at first appeared to be a fever. I sent for a physician who pronounced my heart would be a long time before I got well. "In inflammation began on my face and spread all over my body. My eyes were swollen and I was in a terrible plight and suffered the most intense pain throughout my body. The doctor said my eyes were swollen one under his treatment, lowered the inflammation did not diminish and the pains which shot through my body increased in severity. After being two months untreated, I had no improvement, I dismissed blim. "Shortly after this, on the advice of a friend, I began to take Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People, at a two at three times a day.

Paris, Sept. 29. — Premier Rouvier and Prince von Radolin, the German ambassador, at noon yesterday signed the Franco-German accord concerning the Moroccan conference, thus definitely terminating the difficult negotiations. Preceeding the signature Dr. Rosen, representing Germany, and M. Revol, in behalf of France, met at the Forces Command over the final details of the protocol. The official text of the Franco-German accord on the subject of Morocco, as given out, says: "The negotiations between France and Germany concerning the programme for the conference on Moroccan affairs has successfully terminated. Accord is reached on a programme comprising the organization of the police, the regulation and repression of contraband arms; financial assistance to the organization of a state bank and also the best means of collecting duties and the creation of new means of revenue and also the determination of principles destined to safeguard the economic liberty of Morocco." The agreement then makes a special reservation of the frontier region between Algiers and Morocco where the maintenance of police will be regulated directly between France and the sultan without submission to the government. The sultan in the same region also remains for France to determine with the sultan. The two governments unite in asking that Spain accept Algiers as the place for the conference. On the question of the recent German loan to Morocco it is agreed that French bankers shall participate with the Germans and there is a similarity in the way they are building the harbor works at Tangier if a French company offers terms equal to those of the German contractors. Finally the accord provides for the submission of the programme without delay to the sultan and the signatory of the agreement. Upon its submission to the sultan, both the French and German missions now at Fez, will return to Tangier. GRANT MORE REFORMS. Russian Nobility Agrees to Aid in Overcoming illiteracy.

A representative of General Durnovo, governor: general of Moscow, was present with instructions to stop the meeting if the conditions under which the delegates were supposed to attend were not met.

NATIONS ARE CLOSELY BOUNE An Offensive and Defensive Agreement Formed — Japan's Predominant Influence in Korea is Recognized, as in England's in India. London, Sept. 27.—The text of the new agreement between Great Britain and Japan, which was signed by Lord Landswain, the British foreign secretary, and Baron Hayashi, the Japanese minister to Great Britain, on Aug. 21, was issued by the foreign office late last evening. The momentous document left off the compiling less than eight hundred words, including eight articles and a preamble. Accompanying the agreement is a covering letter from Lord Lansdowne to the British ambassadors at St. Petersburg and Paris, for transmission to the Russian and French governments respectively, in which the foreign secretary courteously reviews the agreement and carefully points out that the new defensive alliance between the two countries rather as a guarantee of peace and prosperity in the far east in which all countries may participate The main features of the new agreement have already been forecasted in The Associated Press dispatches from London and Paris. The pithy articles of the official text, how the United States has done its dous importance to both countries of this alliance, which practically makes Great British Japan and Great Great British for the purposes of defense "in the regions of east Asia and India." This conclusion of India sparks a debate on the need for aggression by a foreign power will call for the assistance of Japan finds much favor with the press of London, the morning papers, in long, laudatory articles welcoming the new and more extensive alliance of the two insular states, and the immediate relief from the dangerous thunder cloud which for so many years has hung over the Indian frontier.

Commenting on attacks made by certain eastern publications on some of the best known and most valuable of the world's proprietary medicines, the Committee on Legislation of the Proprietary Association says: "All through the country districts, in every state of the union, you will find in the farm houses the old family remedies, sometimes called 'patent medicine', many of which have been made in the same household for remedies. Among such people the old- dishoned proprietary medicine, always at hand with full printed instructions for use, is one of the necessities of life. "To families in the country many miles from a doctor such remedies are invaluable. 'Mother's medicine chest' has saved many a life and met many a threatening sickness at the threshold and turned up the door. So we institute self-preservation as is often pretended, acquaintance with a 'patent medicine' often obviates the necessity of such a step; for here is a prescription already made up, the effect of which is well known. One of the greatest advantages of such medicine is that its constant formula gives it the character of a single drug, so far as uniformity of result is concerned, and the person who use it is the doctor, from whom just what they can count on—which is more than can be said of many physicians' prescriptions frequently obtained at a far greater cost and trouble." The doctors are fond of opening up an acquaintance. When You Buy Starch Defiance and get the best, 16 oz. for 10 cents. Once used, always used.

A private observed that the corporal took care to attach a brace of pistols to his saddle. "Hello!" shouted the private who asked what are you taking the guns for? "Sure, if your time has come." "Sure for you," grimly responded the corporal, "but I may happen to meet an Apache whose last day has come." Major-General "Wille" McBean, V.C., who rose from being a private soldier to the command of a division, got his Victoria Cross for killing no fewer than eleven mutineers, one after the other, at the storming of Lucknow. When the order was bestowed upon McBean and others, there was a general parade of "every man who wore a button," said Slr R. Garrett, who pinned the decoration on the here's breast, made the custom of little speech in the course of which he alluded to the episode as "a good day's work." "Toots, toots, mon," replied Willie, quite forgetting that he was on parade, and perhaps a little piqued at his performance being spoken of as a day's work. "Toots, mon, it did not tak' me twenty meenutes." ARTIFICIAL SUNLIGHT Y ACETYLENE GAS PILOT Automatic Generators can be installed at small-cost in any home, large or small, anywhere.

DETAILS OF THE PROTOCOL Signed at Karlsbad Saturday Are Made Known — Agreement Provides for Arbitration At The Hague of All Disputes Save Those of Vital Interest Stockholm, Sept. 26.—The Associated Press has succeeded in securing the text of the protocol signed at Kartaskila Saturday by the Norwegian Swedish delegates appointed to arrange the terms for the dissolution of the union of Norway and Sweden subject to the ratification of the riksdag and storthing. The historic document which will become a treaty when ratified by the two parliaments consists of five main articles and thirty-five sub-clauses. The first article deals with arbitration; the second with the neutral zone and the demolition of the fortification; the third with the fourth with intertrafice and the fifth with the common waterways; the agreement provides for the compulsory arbitration before the Hague court of all disputes except matters of vital interest, for the period of a decade with extensions for other years unless years under two years' previous notice is given of an intention to abrogate it. The treaty provides for a zone on either side of the frontier which shall forever be neutral and for the demolition of the fortresses within that zone with the exception of the old portions of the fortifications of Fredriksten Gydenloeve and Overjørget which may remain but which are to be used as fortifications. A headquarters staff and garrison may be maintained at Fredriksten to the same extent as the headquarters of the new fortifications. No extension of the Kongsvinger group of fortifications will be permitted, nor of the forts erected within ten kilometers of the old fortress of Kongsvinger. PRES. MORTON FINDS MANY PECULATIONS New York, Sept. 29.—Sufficient knowledge is in the possession of the accountants who are making a, study of the books of the Equitable Life Assurance society, under the direction of President Morton, to warrant the statement that within two weeks some of the men who are prominent in the Equitable management will have placed before them the alternative of making immediate restoration of funds that they have diverted from the Equitable treasury, or undergoing that the hands of the district attorney. The experts have been at work on the books of the society three months. They have discovered innumerable devious trails that show beyond doubt that thousands of dollars that should have gone into the treasury have been diverted. This missing cash was taken from them. There no conversion of stocks or bonds or anything of that sort. The individuals responsible for this diversion of money are known, but the amounts which they have embezzled have not yet been discovered. So skillfully have the books been manipulated and deals involving vast sums of money hidden that it is doubtful if the full extent of the losses suffered by the policy holders ever will be known. There is to be a meeting of the directors this afternoon and Mr. Morton will explain, so far as he knows, the methods used to despoil the society. The fact that President Morton's experts have made the discovery is contained in a carefully guarded statement, in which Mr. Morton says: "The expert accountants are far enough along with their work for Mr. Morton to assure the directors that any future disclosure of miscarement of funds porably will refer to monies which the society might have received, but which never came into its possession, and deal, and which never have been shown or claimed as assets; that there are cases of this kind he has substantial proof, but what the amounts are, and where the money went, he cannot say at this time, although he believes that his accountants will soon discover." President Morton declined to supplement this statement and also refused to discuss if in any way, simply saving, "speaks for itself, you may draw your own inference." It was learned from another source, however, that Mr. Morton is much disturbed over the revelations and that he is now considering whether he should, in duty to the public, place the facies in his possession before the district attorney. He should he shall first, for the benefit of the policy holders give the men whom he believes to be guilty an opportunity to make restitution. WITTE IS HERO OF THE HOUR IN ST. PETERSBURG St. Petersburg, Sept. 29.—M. Witt arrived here yesterday and was accustomed to the large crowd of officials and others. In a brief speech, replying to a welcoming address, M. Witte showed clearly that he was deeply touched by the welcome with which he was received. When he left St. Petersburg, he was accompanied him to the railroad station to bid him farewell. There was no public demonstration whatever. Yesterday there were seven or eight times as many officials, despite the very early hour of the train's arrival, and 100 people of 500 to 600 people were present. PACKERS TO TELL OF OTHER'S CRIME Officials of Schwarzchild & Sulzberger Subpoenaed. ARE AFTER ARMOUR COMPANY Head of the Beef Trust Before Federal Judge—Several New Important Witnesses Secured By Government in the Pending Cases. Chicago, Sept. 28.—Max Sulzberger of Chicago, vice president of the Schwarzkold & Sulzberger company, and E. B. Fish, who is one of the traffic officials of the company, have been subpoenaed by the government as witnesses in the beef trust cases to testify against Armour & Co., and the other defendants. Two other employees of the Schwarzkold & Sulzberger company have also been subpoenaed by the government. Officials of the Schwarzkold & Sulzberger company pleaded guilty recently to charges of conspiracy to illegally obtain railway rebates. The offenders through pleading guilty escaped imprisonment, being sentenced to pay fines aggregating $25,000. Arguments were begun before Federal Judge J. Otis Humphrey diday in connection with a plan in which the court charged J. Ogden Armour and other packers charged with combining in restraint of trade. The questions argued in law before the court are demurrals which allure insufficiency, allegations by inference and a number of other claims. The court claimed that the plea should be denied. The subpoenas made public yesterday were served some wee's ago, but the matter was kept secret. Traffic Manager F. R. Fish, who has been subpoenaed, is the witness whom it was charged in an indictment. Attorney Joseph Weltsenbach and a Carnegie secret service officer men worked on the case for a long time, and finally reported that Subzberger and the other three attaches of the company are in possession of facts concerning a meeting of packing officials held within the past year, almost within the time of the grand jury investigation. It was learned, it is declared, that a representative of the table about which the packers gathered. The details of this alleged meeting will, it is hoped by the prosecution, be exposed before the jury which tries the packers. Attorney Weltsenbach, however, strenuously denied that the S. & S. company is turning state's evidence in order to "get even" with the police. He declared that the witnesses will go on the stand under protest. After a search of many weeks the government officials have succeeded in finding an important witness, George L. Coffin, manager for Hammond & Co., at the stock yards. He has been out of the city, it is declared, for some time. He was subpoenaed yesterday. AN EARTHQUAKE Great Falls, Mont., Sept. 28—At the county fair, which opened here yesterday, there is on exhibition what the inventor calls vigneless potatoes. Three months ago, D. D. Darst, the discoverer of the new process for producing potatoes, announced that he could grow potatoes in from two to three months in a special preparation discovered by himself, in layers on top of each other and without vines. His experiments have been conducted in a box layered with potato bottom of this box a layer of Darst's preparation is placed to a depth of three inches and potatoes planted therein. Another layer of three inches is scattered over the potatoes and then more potatoes planted in the usual manner and on unlit; the box was full. Darst says that the box may be pulled to allow the potatoes to lay after a period of potatoes without affecting the producing quality of his composition and that he can have new potatoes for market in any climate at any time of the year. San Francisco, Cal., Sept 28—The Pacific Mall Steamship company's inner Korea, Captain Zeeder, arrived yesterday from the Orlen, beating the trans-Pacific record by several hours. Among her passengers were Secretary of War Taft and most of the members of a party which left with him for the east on the Manchuria on July 8 has. The Korea sailed from Yokohama on September 17 and came direct to this city, omitting the usual stop at Honolulu. The best time for this passage was made by the same vessel, which held the previous record of ten days and fifteen hours. On this trip she has covered the distance in a little over ten days fast. Kansas Mo, Sept. 29.—Informations were filed in the criminal court here yesterday by Soyte Prosecutor Kimbrell against G. L.

"I was troubled with a severe scalp humor and loss of hair that gave me a great deal of annoyance and inconvenience. After unsuccessful efforts with my remedies and scaled hairtones, a friend induced me to try Cuticula Soap and Ointment. The humor was cured in a short time, my hair was restored as healthy as ever, and I can gladly say I have since been entirely free from any further annoyance. I shall always use Cuticula Soap, and I keep the Ointment on hand to as a dressing for the hair and scalp. (Signed) Fred Kbusche 213 East 51th St, New York City." A couple of cyclists in Epping, near London, were the principals at a wedding, and they added a new wrinkle to marriage etiquette. The bride and groom ride to the church on single machines, but they returned on a tandem. During a summer sojourn in the mountains, a physician who is much interested in epilepsy in its different forms, heard of a woman with that disease who had lived to the age of seventy-nine years. Ourions to know the details of so unusual a case he interviewed the widower. Having inquired concerning different symptoms, he proceeded: "Did she grind her teeth much at night?" The old man considered for a minute, and then replied: "Well, I dunno as she wore 'em at night." At Ocean View is a bath-house keeper who is remarkably proficient in the way of keeping his bath-house clean, and in judging what sized suit to hand to a patron. But he is continually losing patronage through making the most foolish and inexplicable breaks. For instance, a young woman wanted a bath-house one morning, and he told her she would have to wait awhile as all the houses were occupied. Then he came from his little office, peeped through the door of a nearby bath-house, and said, "It will take a moment, though, miss. This lady in here is almost dressed." GET POWER. The Supply Comes From Food. If we get power from food, why not strive to get all the power we can. That is only possible by use of skillfully selected food that exactly fits the requirements of the body. Poor Sail makes a poor fire and a poor fire is not a good steam-producer. "From not knowing how to select the right food to fit my needs, I suffered grievously for a long time from stomach troubles," writes a lady from a little town in Missouri. "It seemed as if I would never be able to find out the sort of food that was best for me. Hardly anything that I could eat would stay on my stomach. Every attempt gave me heart-burn and filled my stomach with gas. I got thinner and thinner until I was able to get a safe position and in time was compelled to keep to my bed. "A few months ago I was persuaded to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such good effect from the very beginning that I have kept up its use ever since. I was surprised at the ease with which I digested it. It proved to be very easy. At my pleasant symptoms, the heart-burned the inflated feeling which gave me so much pain disappeared. My weight gradually increased from 98 to 116 lbs, my figure rounded out, my strength came back, and I am now able to do my housework and enjoy it. The Grape-Nuts food did it."

Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and Mrs. Pinkham's Advice. A devoted mother seems to listen to every call of duty excepting the supreme one that tells her to guard her health, and before she realizes it some derangement of the female organs has the nervousness and irritability take the place of happiness and amiability.
