Within a few weeks the Ameri-con Congress will assemble at Washington city to make laws and amend those we already have. The American people begin to look to this Congress for some good real hard work.

The report has gone out that this mining camp of Buxton is a bad town and that a man's life is in danger since two or three people have been murdered. Even one of our dailies tried to make it appear that it was true. The fact is that the enemies to the success of this town want to hurt it, perhaps because most of its citizens are colored people. The truth is Buxton is 'just as good and just as law-abiding as any town of its size in Iowa, under similar conditions. In the first place it is a new town, only about three years old; second place, it is a mining town and you cannot always get the best of citizens to move there. Where there are 6,000 to 8,000 people rushed in without time to organize build up a town. It is therefore but naturally that some undesirable people move in. Look at the murdering, killing and sudden disappearance of people in other towns, then why censure Buxton, when there has only been three or four murders killings since the town was organized. Let each of these other towns first take the mote out of their own eyes before speaking about others. Buxton has some of as good and intelligent, honest and honorable American citizens that you will find anywhere. We have been there and seen for overselves, and the good people there regret these murders and have caught the guilty parties and are punishing them. Let us be fair and give them justice. OBITUARY. Last week we announced the death of Charles W. Henry, of Oakland, California, formerly an old and highly esteemed citizen of Des Moines for more than 25 years. Mr. Henry was born in Wabash Ind., Sept. 1, 1838 and died at his home, 1418 Tenth street, Oakland, Cal., Oct. 1, 1905, at 3:15 o'clock a. m. He leaves to mourn his death a loving wife, Rachel, one son, Frank, one daughter, Mrs. Willie Henry and a host of friends here and in California. He was a veteran of the civil war, enlisting as a private in Co. C, U. S. Colored Volunteer Infantry, was promoted to Sergeant and after serving his full three years was honorable discharged. He was a member of Kinsman Post, G. A. R., East Moines, where he had been a member 25 years. Mr. Henry left our city a few years ago. He had been a sufferer since last decoration day. He was a very interesting and intelligent man to meet, pleasant and sociable. The funeral was held from their home Tuesday, Oct, 3, where many of his friends gathered to pay their last tribute.

This year they have a new twelve room modern school house costing $10,000, with eleven instructors, all colored but one, with an enrollment of 520 last Monday and more to enter, and these rooms are already overseeing. Ye editor has the pleasure of going into school seeing it in session through the courtesy of the superintendent, Prof. M. J. Gilliam, who is one of the most thorough and enthusiastic school men that I have ever met, every inch an educator, who but experience and qualification has but few equals. He is a graduate of Cornell University, in N. Y. He chairs in mathematics at Wilberforce, but for the past five years he was principal of the Indianapolis schools, Indianapolis, Ind. I regard him as an force in the Iowa educational field. The other teachers are Mr. C. E. C.ington, Mrs. W. H.

There are always two parties to a contract, and yet in a majority of cases but one is expected to carry Analysis of Medicines Open to All. "There is no public demand and there is not the slightest public necessity for a law compelling the publication of the formula of proprietary medicines," says the Committee on Legislation of the Proprietary Association of Every Health Commissioner and every Pure Food Commissioner in the country, as well as every private physician or chemist, if he pleases, has the right to make an analysis of any proprietary medicine and to publish the result and to tell the public what he thinks, and there is nothing in the world to prevent such a practice that the artificiers for such legislation want. Their object is to destroy the sale of such remedies entirely." These dual existences we read of never seem to double a man's income. "Acetylene Jones."

So far as the people in Russia are concerned, the czar's hair apparent hasn't been much in evidence as yet. We hate to say it, but the burden of the conversation of most of us is: "What I Would Do if I Were So-and-So." "Everybody Works But Father" is a song. Many a father would move to amend by elimination of the third word. The stranger who demanded cash on a $2,000,000 check at a New York bank was the real article of frenzied chancier. For a man who is determined to go on a spree, the ugliness of his wife's ear hat is probably as good an excuse as any. That New York young man who "stole for fun" will have a nice quiet time to figure out if the game was worth the candle. Two thousand babies are born in New York every week. And there is a profit of several cents on every nursing bottle that is sold. An "American quick lunch" in London has failed after losing $50,000. You can't bolt sinkers and wheats in a topper and a monocle. A contemporary is running a series of essays on "The Making of a Successful Husband." Successful husbands are born, not made.

Some people certainly have a queer way of showing affection.

"My little girl had eczema very bad when she was ten months old. I thought she would lose her right ear. It had turned black, and her face was like a piece of raw meat, and very sore.

A lady who unconsciously drifted into nervous prostration brought on by coffee, says: "I have been a coffee drinker all my life, and used it regularly, three times a day. "A year or two ago I became subject to nervous neuralgia, attacks of nervous headache and general nervous prostration which not only incapacitated me for doing my housework, but also made me necessary for me to remain in a dark room for two or three days at a time. "I employed several good doctors, one after the other, but none of them was able to give me permanent relief. "Eight months ago a friend suggested that perhaps coffee was the cause of my troubles and that I try Postum Food Coffee and give up the old kind. I am glad I look her advice, for my health has been entirely restored. I have no more neuralgia, nor have I had one solitary headache in eight months. No more of my days in the dark room, no more infinement in a dark room. I do all my own work with ease. The flesh that I lost during the years of my nervous prostration has come back to me during these months, and I am once more a happy, healthy woman.

THIN BLOOD—WEAK NERVES One Fellows the Other, but Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Quickly Cure Both. The steady use of a particular set of muscles tends to chronic fatigue, which produces faulty or difficult motion, trembling, cramps and even paralysis, writers, telegraphers, and the classes most threatened in this way with the loss of their power to earn a living. The following instance shows that nerve power may be recovered after it seems entirely lost, if the right means are taken. Mrs. Williams, a nurse at Mansfield, Maiden street, Mansfield, Ohio, says: "For years my hands would become so numb at times that I would drop anything I attempted to lift. Later they became so tired that I would drop anything at last I could scarcely do anything at all with my hands. At night the pricking sensations would come on worse than ever, and my hands and arms would pain so that I dreaded to go to bed. I would have little tablets. They helped me a little, but only for a short time after I had taken them and if I happened to be without them for a day or two I would be as bad as ever or even worse. Finally I would be named "Fink Pink" and began to take them. "The result was surprising. By the time I had taken the last pill in my first box I could see a gain. Thanks to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills, I am now all right. I can sleep undisturbed by pain, and for two years I have been as well as ever." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills feed the nerves by making new, rich blood and in this way have created a new kind of restlessness from simple restlessness to paralysis. They have banished the tortures of neuralgia, the weakness of nervous prostration, the disability and painful pain of somatic ataxia. They are sold by all drugstores or direct by the Dr. Williams Medicinal Company, Schenectady, N. Y. Many a man's financial goose has been cooked in a jack pot.

HIDDEN IN OLD SUIT CASE In Possession of Innocent Brother-in-Law of Thief-Huge Bundles of Money in Shape of Bills Tumble Out When Case is Torn Open. Bridgeport, Conn., Oct. 20.—Edward G. Cunillife, the Adams Express employee, who disappeared from Pittsburg, Fa., with $101,000 in cash, was arrested here yesterday. He made a confession and expressed his willingness to return at once to Pitsburg. He declared that the money which he took was intact and that it could be restored, but he declined to tell until his return to Pitsburg, where it was hidden. On his person when arrested was found $290 in cash. "Five minutes after I took the money I was sorry," said Cunliffe, "but it was too late to do anything. What can you expect from a man getting a salary of only $62 a month and handling thousands of dollars a day. I was tempted and I felt. I remember that I was $50,000 in cash. I was tempted then, but I thought it over and decided to be honest." The robbery for which Cunliffe is wanted in Pittsburgh was committed on the night of October 9. Last night David C. Thornhill of a New York detective agency, who assisted in the arrest of Cunliffe, had a talk with the prisoner in his cell and t21 him that $80,000 had been recovered at the home of his brother. He told him to tell where the missing $20,000 was hidden. Cunliffe finally said: "You'll never get it—I have destroyed it." Detective Thornhill at first doubled Cunliffe's story, but the prisoners stuck to it, saying that he had burned the money in his room in the hotel where he stopped there. He said that when he was taken away, he gave him away, as they were of large denomination, and particularly marked as they were notes of the Allegheny National Bank in Pittsburgh and that every body was looking for them. Cunliffe said that rather carry them around he burned them. For some of them, 900,000 of the money stolen by George Edward Cunliffe Oct. 9 from the Adams Express company in Pittsburgh was recovered last night at the home of Joseph W. Boardman, Cunliffe's brother-in-law. For just a week the fortune had lain in an old suit case unknown to Boardman, who was holding the bill exchanged its owner with the man. The exact sum found was $79,933.55. As the result of the statement made by Culliiffe that he had sent $55,000 to the plunder to his brother-in-law, Boardman, in Bristol, a representative of The Associated Press called at the Boardman house last night and asked Boardman if that was so. Boardman, who is a young man and the agent here for the Electric Express company at Hartford, had no money, but on October 12 a dress suit case came to his house from Bridgeport, and as there was no name on it, he had not opened it. His wife signed for the case and Boardman placed it in a closet, thinking it was sent to him as an agent of an express company to be called for later. Boardman told The Associated Press representative that if he wished he would send for the police and the sheriff, Chef Meims and Captain Belden of the police force were then sent for and in their presence the case was torn open. Huge bundles of money in the shape of bills tumbled out on the floor and also a black suit of clothes, a pair of shoes, and two shirts. While the money was being counted Supt. J. C. Curtis of the Adams Express and William F. Minster, superintendent of the Puckerton detectives, drove up to the house and were shown in. Mr. Curtis then counted the money and found a total of $79,932.55. There were fifteen bundles of $100 bills, making a total of $50,000, and the rest, with the exception of $3.55, which was in a pocket in the coat, was in $50,000. The money was more佩戴 at the display of money than Boardman himself. Mr. Curtis packed the money in a valise and took the late train for Hartford. Boardman says that he has received no word from Cunliffe during the eighteen months, and that if the fugitive had come this way he would have informed the police. Cunliffe's wife is Boardman's sister, and he says he has had letters from her since Cunliffe disappeared asking that he do all he could to find the missing man. GREENE'S CASE UP. U. S. Supreme Court Heares Argument in Postal Frauds Hents in Postal Fraud. Washington, D. C. Oct. 17—Argument was heard yesterday in the supreme court of the United States, the case of George Beavers, a New York man indicted in the criminal court of the District of Columbia with George W. Beavers and others, on the charge of conspiracy to defraud the government in connection with the recent postoffice department irregularities. The case comes to the supreme court on an appeal taken by Greene from the decision of the district court for the district of New York. In an extradition proceedings, in which Greene was directed to report to the District of Columbia court, Milton D. Purdy, assistant to the attorney general, presented the case on behalf of the government, while John G. Johnson of Philadelphia appeared for Greene. Greene was president of the company which furnished supplies to the postoffice department during the investigation with payments to Beavers 10 per cent of the amounts covered by postoffice department contracts. He was steadily resisted extradition in this jurisdiction. HOW A FRIENDSHIP GREW The Story Whether Hard Sapollo got a more enthusiastic welcome in houses where Sapollo was an old and tried friend, or where it was a stranger, is a question. Where women had come to rely on Sapollo for rapid, thorough cleaning in every part of the house except the laundry, they commenced without loss of time, to avail of this new prize. Grubby little hands, and stained, work-worn older ones, whitened, softened, and smoothed out as if by magic, calious spots disappeared, and complexions cleared. Children ceased their strenuous objections to the scrubbing up process, because it became a Do you want a clear and healthy skin? pleasure. It freshened up the hands after dish-washing, removing the most disagreeable feature of that necessary task. It was found to keep delicate baby skins from chafing better than salve or powder, and the crowning note in the song of delight came when an adult member of the family used it in a full bath, and realized that a Turkish Bath at a cost of one dollar was outdone by a small fraction of the little, ten-cent, velvety cake. But, strange though it may seem, there were people who had not learned to prize Sapoilo. To these the advertising of Hand Sapoilo came as a surprise.

Then began the excitement of adventure; what would the new soap NOT do? A girl tried a shampoo.

STORIETTES The story is told of a well-known man who, not finding his wife, went out into the kitchen where the laundress was busy with the family linen, and inquired: "Bridget, do you know anything of my wife's whereabouts?" "Yis, sor," replied Bridget, "I out them in the wash." A witty but not over-industrious Celt was one of a street gang.

A few years ago, the President decided to appoint Mr. Wryne, now consultant-general at London, to be first assistant postmaster-general. "How will we keep them by some of the President's advisers."

This was done, and the President was advised for a more although known all that time by fifty or more Washington correspondents. Henry James, the novelist, narrated at a Boston dinner-party a conversation that he had overheard that afternoon. "It was a conversation," said Mr. James, "between a young book clerk and an older one. It occurred in a book-shop devoted to the sale of the most popular and newest fiction. The younger clerk approused the older anxiously, 'Say, 'he said, 'What would women here want Spencer's poems.' 'Is It Herbert Spencer's poems?' the more experienced clerk asked calmly. 'Yes,' said the other; 'what shall I tell her?' 'Tell her we haven't got 'em,' said the other clerk. M. Sato, one of Japan's representatives at the Peace Conference, was chatting with some newspaper men, one of whom suggested that a plain statement was enough for a treaty of peace, and that elaborate wording was not necessary. The Jap dissented from this view, and, by way of illustration, told of an African traveler who was relating a harrowing adventure. "I pereced into the jungle," said the traveler, "and I frantically thundered body." One of his auditors said, sarcastically: "Whoever heard of a trunkless body?" The traveler answered, calmly: "This was the body of an elephant." A story is told of the wonderful cure from deafness of a patient who was recommended to hear a Wagner opera, and to sit near the orchestra by the trombones. The physician accompanied his patient, and sat beside him. Suddenly, while the crash of the instruments was at its loudest, the deaf man found he could hear, "Doctor," he almost shrieked, "I can hear." The doctor gave no sign that he was deaf, "I tell your doctor," repeated the patient, in ecstasy, "you have saved me! I have recovered my hearing." Still the physician was silent. He had become deaf himself. Shortly after Garfield's death, a prominent politician made an address upon the life of the statesman before a school. When he had finished, he said: "Now, can any of you tell me what a statesman is?" A little hand went up, and a little girl replied: "A statesman is a man who is a statesman." The swerved the politician, who loved to tell this story. "For instances, I sometimes make speeches, and yet I am not a statesman." The little hand again went up, and the answer came, triumphantly: "I know: a statesman is a man who makes good speeches!" The way to a man's heart is through his stomach and to his reason through his pocket.

It seemed so simple to turn Calcium Carbide into Gas-light that over 600 different kinds of "tanks" and "Acetylene Machines" were invented, patented, and marketed for the purpose, by about as many different people. It seemed so simple to turn Calcium Carbide Gas-light that over 600 different kinds of "tank" "Acetylene Machines" were invented, patented for the purpose, by about as many people as well. The thing to be expected certainly had About 350 of these "Acetylene Machines" been invented and sold by people who knew more than that than old about Gaussdale. The "Calcium Carbide" was all right at but 530 of the machines for turning it into Gas all wrong all the time. So Acetylene Gas "got a bad name," though clear evidence there was deserved it at a time.

About 530 of these "Acetylene Machines" had been invented and sold by people who knew more about Tintware than they did about Gas-making.

"It was a got a bad name" though it is clear enough now that it never deserved it at any time. It was like selling Wood Stoves to burn Hard Coal in, and then blaming the Coal for not burning. But very few accidents occurred from them even in the days of rank experiment and dense ignorance, amnesia, and confusion. Of course, a gun will go off unexpectedly, now and then, if the trigger be pulled by a person who "didn't know it was loaded." Of course, the Ammunition—is it? But, finally the Insurance Companies got, after these 530 old makes of "Acetylene Machines" that wouldn't Acetylate, and the Insurance Board made an investigation of all Generators that were submitted to them.

It would not be right to know whether or not these 70 different makes of Acetylene Generators were absolutely Safe to use. Because, they have to pay the bills, if Fire or Explosion occurs, from any one of the Acetylene Generators they authorize. And because of their good judgment. Though there are now Two Million people using Acetylene Light in America, there have only been four Fires from it in one year, against 8855 Fires from Kerosene and Gasoline. There are now 4091 Fires from Electricity, 1709 Fires from City Gas, and 520 Fires from Candles. Besides these there have been 26 Fires from the Sun's rays, But,—only four Fires from Acetylene.

Dr. Siew Arnitz Public DER Iowa Official Lodge State and Hero SEES PERFECTLY AT 82 YEARS Aged Lady Saved from Comparative Blindness by Glasses Prescribed by Dr. Lew Arntz. Mrs. Albana Troun, a German lady, was so blind that she was full to Dr. Arntz's perfect refection of poor eyesight. Mrs. Troun has been blind for a number of years thought her eyesight was falling her so completely that she was finally induced to come to Dr. Arntz who about two years ago, fitted her with glasses and errors of vision. The glasses restored perfect vision so that she now sees clearly. Many people pass through their declining years without being able to enjoy the light. Many believe that their vision is failing them. In most of these cases it is difficult to inject and that the physical change of the entire system brings an accompanying change which makes it impossible for the rays of light to be focused upon the retina with the eyes. It is wise to consult Dr. Arntz. He has restored perfect vision to scores and scores of blindness. The doctor makes no charge for examination and will provide assistance. In most cases people 50 years of age can see as well as they could it, and the rays of light are properly refracted. Winterset, in, May 22, 1900.
