The Marquardt block, cor. Fifth and Locust streets, caught fire last Monday morning about 4 o'clock and burned for 3 hours. The Bystander is located in this building and at times the entire building, which is valued at $10,000 00 seemed to be doomed, but the hard work of the brave firemen saved the entire building from total loss. Nearly every business concern in the building suffered loss, either from water, fire or smoke, except our office which is on the fourth floor in the southwest corner of the building. Our loss was nothing. It was a close call. We are at present prevented from using our office rooms on account of the steam being cut off. For the present we are temporarily located in the north wing of the building, room 412%, 1st door north of elevator.

Dear Blr: I have read your paper for eight years, I feel like I can't do without visitor in my house. Here is a dollar for 1000. Yours truly, Rev. W. J. Rhinehart, 1716 Lawrence Avenue, Springfield, Ill. Clinton, Ia., Dec. 5, 1905. Editor Bystander: Dear sir: Owing to my being so very busy during the past two weeks I will not be able to sit regarding the Buxton Souvenir edition. Allow me nevertheless at this late day to extend to you my sincere congratulations, of your effort along that line. I consider you have score a complete success. Whining you a congratulation, you remain. Yours respectfully, A. A. Bush. Washington, D. C., Dec. 15, 1905. Mr. John L. Thompson. Des Molnes, Iowa. Dear sir: it has been my intention for the last three weeks to write to I have neglected to do so. Since good things keep well, I will proceed at this late hour to offer my congratulations. I think your review and write up of the town of Buxton was an excellent piece of work. So I want to extend to you my highest compliment and ask the question:—What manner I will be heard of? I would not be proud of that work, done by the Bystander? St. James says: "Faith if it hath not works is dead being alone." And in the next sentence St. James says: "Shew me thy faith without thy works, and shew me thy mew the faith by my works." The Bystander has shown its faith by its work. And the people of the state should show their faith by their support of the Bystander. I took the copy of he Bystander with the Buxton write up to the Capitol, and many were the compliments of men who support it because they wish that it has been handed around so much that I have not had a chance to see it since. I was very much pleased with the last issue of the Bystander also, when I saw many faces of my old associates' standing guard around another enterprise that I have been proud of. That is the new Union Congregational church, which also shows a tact of faith and work. I want to congratulate that church upon its success and its up-to-date young preacher. In the language of the scripture, No man can do the work that this young man has done, because he is a priest. My prayer is, that he will continue his work until completed. What has struck the white Iowa club women? It seems they have some connection with their sisters south of the Mason and Dixon line, it shows such both in spirit and word. I clipped the following from Washington Daily Post: RACE PROBLEM IN IOWA. Des Moines Women Defer Request for Negro Recognition. Special to the Star. Des Moines, Ia., Dec. 12.—The race problem cropped up here today in an unexpected and embarrassing maneuver the club knocked at the doors of the Des Moines School. Des Moines Federation of Women's Clubs and politely asked for recognition. "This is so sudden," exclaimed a score of female voices in hearty unison. "I was the wife of the pastor of St. Paul's African Methodist Episcopal Church, was there for the purpose of obtaining an answer, and evidently anxious to place the women on record with a delay as possible, requested that an action be taken on her request at once. The ladies finally rallied from their confession, and, assuring Mrs. Gunz of their cordial sympathy with all efforts of the colored people toward bettering their condition, said that under the rules of the organization they were to be a senior ladder the matter. Before adjournment the first installment of the debate had taken place. Several women admitted themselves in favor of granting the colored women's request. Others stoutly declared that such action would mark the severing of their relations with the white women. We meeting concluded several women were in tears, others were pale with anger, while still others admitted that the federation was facing a most embarrassing problem. The above statement is not true only in part. The colored club did ask admission and was not refused. They were women enabled. They were recently from the south and had only been members a short time and they thought it best not to admit colored clubs. (The Editor.) The Bystander brings me another surprise this week in the announcement of the death of our old friend and townman, H. H. Lewis. In the townman's own words, we have one of our best citizens. The land marks of old times still continue to move away. I too, join with the Bystander in offering condolence to the bereaved family. Another young spirit rises up and demands the consideration of the dischrisslement of the voters south of the person in whom we offered the following bill in the House two othrree days ago. I fail to have the remainder of the article: BENNETT INTRODUCES REPRE- SENTATION BILL If a bill providing for the cutting down of Southern representatives, introduced in the House yesterday by Representative William S. Bennett, of New York, is favorably reported, there will be a lively tilt on the floor this week. The bill would require Such a measure, introduced by a northern member, is always a red flag of the representatives of the South, and a southern democrat said yesterday that any attempt to force the measure would result in the strongest kind of opposition. The entire number of Representatives from 386 to 351. It reduces the state delegations as follows: Alabama from 9 to 5; Arkansas from 7 to 5; Florida from 3 to 2; Georgia from 11 to 6; Louisiana from 7 to 4; Mississippi from 10 to 7; New York from 10 to 7; South Carolina from 7 to 3; Tennesseens from 10 to 8; Texas from 16 to 13; and Virginia from 10 to 7.

Carter played the violin and the piano was played by Miss Elisse Mason. An elegant 3 course luchon was served about 11:00 o'clock by Mrs. Mattle Dameron and Miss Bessie Mason. The guests departed saying that the Mason was very well known and only regret being that they do not entertain often enough. The Bystander is now a weekly visitor to most all of the Afro-Americans in this city which is an indication that they are progressive and want to know what their race is doing. W. H. Bremner for City Solicitor. The above cut represents W. H. Breuner, the present City Solicitor, who has announced his candidacy for the second term.

Since the meeting of congress a bill recently introduced in house to cut down representation to actual amount of voters that is permitted to vote the colored journals have been disqualified. What two of our contemporaries say then we give our idea about it. The Atlanta, Ga., Independent is opposed to reduction in the south as a punishment for disfranchisement, his strong points are to abrogate the white man's right to vote in the colored man. That to cut down Alabama's electoral vote will not help the people wronged, two wrongs will not make one right, that the North would assist them to disfranchise the white man to hoose a few Congressmen if they could keep the negro out of politics and the Buxton Gazette says this week says, speaking of the same bill: "Of course no one expects the bill to pass. It should not. We have already patiently to have someone explain how it is going to help the Negro." We have been, and are a strong advocate of reduction of the electoral college and Congressmen where they do not allow the qualified elector the right to vote and we are indeed sorry that our race leaders believe today that our division of opinion on this question is the lack of Congressional action. My reasons for favoring it is because reduction is the punishment laid down by the federal constitution, listen it says plainly that when ever a state deprives any of its male citizens of the right to vote, the representation of that state shall be reduced in proportion to the number of citizens thus deprived of their legal rights. This alone ought to suffice. All we ask is the fulfillment of our present law and its punishment, then if It fails we will try something else. Then again to reduce our rights as a voter. It is simply in abeyance until certain conditions are done. Let us not condemn this punishment until it is tried and failed. The Gaette says it should not pass and give no reason why not. If we condemn a law or bill we ought to recommend something else that one has been able to offer a better bill or punishment than the one our constitution prescribe, consequently let us at least try that which we have. You remember that in slavery the South insisted on counting his slaves to give them more Congressmen and even did count them as slaves to give them more slaves to make let us stop arguing and do something.

The propriety of discussing in open senate a resolution introduced by Senator Bacon, calling upon the president for an account of his ap- polntment of deleates to a proposed conference on Moroccan affairs, to be held by European powers at Al- geriras, Spein, was considered for four hours, and then by strict party vote it was decided tbat the resolu. tion should be ex-cutive business, Howse—The Philippine trai meas- ure was the single tople of consid- eration In the house today.

When the maker of a medicine, sold by a doctor, fails to fully satisfy his patients fully into his confidence by frankly and fearlessly publishing broadened lists of all its ingredients in plain English, this action on his part is the best possible evidence that he is not guilty of torture. The torture turned full upon his formula and that it will bear the fullest scrutiny and the most thorough investigation. The care of the weaknesses, periodical pains and functional derangements of the orphanage, the care put up for sale through druggists for woman's special use, the maker of which is not afraid to take his patients into the public by such open and honest publicity.

The Governor's Message Following are the most important portions of Governor Cummins' message to the legislature: State Auditor. The auditor is filled with me not only his regular biennial report, but a supplemental report directed solely to the legislature upon the subject of insurance, recommend these reports and especially the supplemental report to your careful consideration, as fairly coundy in all recommendation. Another grave defect in the methods of life insurance developed by the recent study of the subject, is the accumulation of dividends. If the measure at least, represents deferred dividends; that is to say, the sum which the company, in a vague way, promises to pay to policy holders, but concerning which there is no specific agreement fixing the amount of the distribution. The surplus so extolled is not reckoned as a liability, but as a source of income. I have been able to ascertain, contains any more positive assurance of distribution than that the policy holder shall be entitled to receive. The directors of the company may determine. The whole scheme of deferred dividends has a tendency to lead the business away from the field of indemnity and to increase the risk of failure which is altogether too prominent, and which should be checked by such reasonable regulations as can be prescribed in injury to the legitimate enterprise of the company, in more potent objection to the practice. I therefore recommend that the law be so strengthened us to require an annual meeting between each company and its policy holder. The policy holder of each year the policy holders will be notified of their respective shares in the surplus of the preceding year. The policy holder of each year may opt which at that time may be exercised by the policy holder, namely; to withdraw the dividend in cash, or to use the purpose of purchasing further insurance. It is believed by many thoughtful men that there should be a limit to the aggregate amount of insurance which a person may have, and in other words, that the amount at risk should be restricted to some large, but reasonable sum. We have not been able to determine the extent of this subject, and therefore make no recommendation upon it. It is, however, so important—indeed, so fundamental—that we should request, and invoke for it, your careful conservation. This state has, with great pursued the policy of narrowly restricting the manner in which the legal restricting company may operate. It is to be the aim of an enlightened conservation will always control this essential feature of supervision. I be interested in enlightening the field of investment. In harmony with the plan already adopted, life insurance companies pay premiums to manage bonds and in such securities as paying, curbing, Nicknames of Presidents A number of Grant's nicknames arose from his initials. Unconditional Surrender probably attained the widest popularity. The press of his day manufactured not a few U. S. sobriquets, like "Unprecedented Strategist, Undaunted Stalwart, and on so. the soldiers called him Old Three Stars, and he was also styled Hero of Appomattox. Garfield did not, of course, become the Martyr President until after his tragic death. He was also styled the Preacher President, from his early calling. severing or other public improvement certificates. These securities are as safe as municipal bonds, and inasmuch as the opportunities to loan money on your loan will gradually become less, ought you to seek other fields as are without danger. I believe, also, that every life insurance company should permit this state should be permitted to invest a reasonable sum (to be fixed by the executive council), but not exceeding ten thousand dollars of office; and that, upon a transfer of the title to such office in trust to the auditor, the proper authority, should be reckoned part of its deposit with the auditor. The course I have suggested will not make us more secure but will have a tendency to keep the money of our people at home and to build up our state. The next not suggestion that I have to make with life insurance is not the least important, but I have given it this place because I do not expect—that we do not recommend—it by this means. It involves an extent of study and investigation that will probably preclude you, even if you dispose of it at this time. There is more fraud and deception, sometimes intentional and sometimes unintentional, practiced upon policy-lodgers, insurance companies, and life insurance contracts than in any other way. There are hundreds of these forms, differing oftentimes but slightly from each other, and these differences are created for no other purpose than to enable the agent to found upon them an argument the fallacy of which cannot be proved. The effect of which is to create an atmosphere of mystery about the entire life insurance business. There are but few kinds of legitimate life insurance contracts, and the agents are on the fingers of your two hands. There is no sense in the almost infinite multiplicity of forms. We believe that the agents are the agents and they should be uniform with all companies. They should be plain, simply and direct. The obligations of the agents must be uniform, such uniformity, the people would soon come to know what insurance is, and what the insurance companies agree to contract of the several forms of contract to the duty to institute such an investigation and so collect such information as will enable a subsequent general assembly to act upon it, with this vital phase of the business. A Primary Election Law. Senators of the congress of the United States are still elected by proxy, but the General Assembly of the state of Iowa has voted to repeal the constitutional parties have repeatedly declared for a change in the constitution that will require their election by a direct vote, and that the state will be in action with the legislatures and parties of more than one-half the states of the union. Every lover of his country must be a citizen of the voter as influential as possible in the management of public affairs. Our government is founded upon the vital principle of self-government enough and patriotic enough to hold opinions and to express them. The clear trend of modern reform is toward a more democratic form of waking of his sense of responsibility. The dominant party in this state has, in many counties, recognized the supremacy of county primaries for the nomination of county officers. I doubt whether a **Failures and Successes.** Men have two kinds of ambition—one for dollar-making, the other for life-making. Some turn all their ability, education, health and energy toward the first of these—dollar-making—and call the result success. Others turn them toward the second—into character, usefulness, helpfulness—life-making—and the world of business. History calls them successes. No price is too great to pay for an unattached name.—O. S. Marden in *Success Magazine*. single county could be induced to return to the old plan. The system of caucuses and conventions is not only pervasive but also pernicious influences, which may and often do neutralize and destroy the will and wish of the voters, but, however fiercely carried on by leaders ordinarily, in the county, by well-versed unimpulners, rather than by the people. The caucus gives proxies for all the voters of the party it represents, for the county, for the convention gives proxies for all the voters of the county for the district or state convention. And thus, when the end is finally attained, outcome may not permit the county to be removed twice removed delegates may want. I have no doubt that offentions the delegate plan does register the desire of the county, often that it ought not to be preserved. How many of you would favor the election of state and county officers and representatives in caucuses and conventions? How many of you would vote for and yet the election of candidates to office is not more important than the selection of candidates for the general election, and are opposed to primary elections to think that the only purpose of such a system is to prevent cheating and that sordid form is to bribery commonly used in the primary elections men fail to discern the still greater evils against which the proposed enactment is directed. The chief object of a primary election is to prevent the voice of the plain common man will be heard and heeded. It is possible for him to be heard under the presystem, but it requires an effort that is not possible. He never ought to be compelled to make. All men will agree that the voters *any political party should determine* their candidate's nomination, fundamental truth, held as firmly by those who are against the primary as by those who are for it. We must believe that the voters can work out their desires as effectively through caucuses and conventions as through primary elections and elections, caucuses and conventions the leader, the alert and successful organizer, the man ready with speeches and a confident demeanor, later find his closest opportunity for influence. Some of the things done may be innocent and some of the things whether innocent or vicious, the ordinary voter who gives no further attention to politics than to become familiar with public questions and to respond to them, would have no chance in the mysteries of the caucus and the convention. If there was no other candidate, it would be needed to equalize the capacities of men for management, and to make it more difficult, at least, for the man who promises to fulfill his promise. There is, however, another view which appeals to me still more strongly. Our country has changed mightily in the past, and the success of our business and commerce have passed, in large measure, from the individual to the corporation. The corporation has well right captured the industry of the country. The corporation has organization and sympathy among the great combinations of capital which enable them to move as though directed by a force. The corporation is in the laws which are, from time to time, adopted, and therefore one part of their gigantic purpose is to control, the government—national, state and municipal. We see and feel this effect is both blind and insensible. These corporations and combinations have their command over the government, and an infinite force ever organized, and an infinite variety of channels through which to work; and they intend to prevent any harm to the people. We see any law which they think ought not to be enacted or enforced. They will do this thing if they can, and the most perceive that the attempt springs from the commonest characteristic of the human race. There is just one way in which they can do it effectively, and shall be nominated and elected to office. Their arts cover the whole range of influence. At one time they bribe, at another they browbeat. Now they deceive one man to the top of the mountain and show him the world that may be his, and with another they take from his shoulders a burden that is too heavy for him. They also whole gamut of human affections, and sound every note in the chords of both virtue and vice. In short, they are equipped to handle the occasion. They chief officer to the men of standing and morals, but their operations are so vast that when they issue an order to accomplish a certain result, they do not feel responsible for the manner in which it is attained. I must not be understood as even hoping that a primary election law will permit a primary in position. There will still be framing the decision; but I am sure that when the law is passed we will have taken one step toward power, a better government. We will have to work with other counties in the state, whose representatives will not feel the necessity of a change in their laws. We will have concern; but I from the county will not measure their responsibility by the condition of their own community, by the proposed law from a standpoint. We will enable them to see the welfare of the entire state. We must upon the details of the law. There may be and probably are differences of opinion with respect to the scope as well as the detail of the legislation. There are certain essential Beauties for Waistcoat Buttons. "Old masters" are being pressed into service for the embellishment of men's fancy waistcoats. A London tailoring firm is selling sets of six miniature reproductions of portraits of beautiful women by Gainsborough, Greuze and Lawrence just as big as a skippe. These are appropriate when posed on tartan plaids, fancy checks or knitted vests. The buttons are said to be much sought after by ladies as gifts for men friends—London Daily Mall. features, however, which I venture to suggest. First—The law should provide for the nomination by direct vote of all candidates for all offices filled by the voters, and for all members in the congress of the United States. Second—It should provide a primary election for all political parties, to be held by the party. Third—It should provide that the person receiving the highest number of votes be nominated by the nominee of the party for such office. Fourth—It should provide that every voter, if he votes at all, should vote for the party with which he is affiliated. It remember that I am not advocating any especial bill. I am advocating only the spirit of a measure which when it becomes a law will, as I earnestly believe, promote the cause of good government and the interest of all the people. 1 respectfully recommend, also a further regulation with respect to passenger upon railways, so that the travel pays such time upon railways, travel pays three cents per mile. The railways sell a mileage book covering 2,000 miles or the rate of three cents per mile with a rebate for the mileage, to be exhausted within the year, of $19,000, or substantiated by the rate of three cents per mile with a credential system which involves a travel of 4,000 miles within the same period, with a rebate of one cent per mile, or the rate of equity of fairness of these rules. If the mileage book plan be a good one, the railways to sell mileage book require the railways to sell mileage book for 1,000 miles and upwards, at a flat rate of two cents per mile, good until the family there is no reason why should not be used by any member of the family. I understand and apprehend that the men and the measure of the scauper, but the difficulties are not insurmountable, and I believe the effect of such legislation on the people and the increase the revenue of the railways. The man who travels is present at too great a disadvantage, is accompanied with the man who travels much. Dr. Torrey, the English evangelist, is a man of ready wit, which he uses with effect when interrupted while speaking. On one occasion in London a blubulous fellow arose and announced waveringly that he did not believe everything in the bible. "I don't see how anybody can walk on water," he declared. "Can you do it, Dr. Torrey?" The preacher looked grimly at the man for a moment and then answered: "Well, I can walk on water better than I can on rum."

"I used the Cuticura Soap and Ointment for a diseased scalp, dandruff, and constantly falling of hair. Finally I had to cut my hair to save any all. Just at that time I read about the Cuticura Remedies. Once every week I shampooed my hair with the Cuticura Soap, and I used the Ointment twice a week. In two months' time my hair was long enough to do up in French twist. That is now five years ago, and I have a lovely head of hair. The length is six inches below my waist line, my scalp is in very good condition, and no more dandruff or itching of the scalp. I used other remedies that were recommended to me as good, but with no results. Mrs. W. F. Gress, Clay Center, Neb., Oct. 23, 1906." Many a man who is only see-sawing thinks he is sawing wood.

Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12 oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand and he wants to disguise the price he puts in Defiance. He knows 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.

Mrs. Abbona Troub, a German lady, 83 years old, living at Winterst, is thankful for the glasses she was wearing of poor eyesight.

The glasses restored perfect vision. The glasses restored perfect vision, so that she now sees clearly and many people pass through their declining years with reading and seeing clearly believing that their vision is falling them. It is probable that the eye and optic nerve are intact and that the physical change of the sight of reading and seeing clearly might change in the shape of the eyeball which makes it impossible for the rays of the light out of the aid of glasses. In all such cases the glasses correct perfect vision to scores and scores of old people, who thought they were no charge for examination and makes no charge for examination and frankly tell whether or not he can render glasses of age can see as well as they can at 65, if the rays of light are properly refracted.

More fatalities have their origin in or result from a cold than from any other cause. This fact alone should make people more careful as there is no danger whatever from a cold when it is properly treated in the beginning. For many years Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has been recognized as the most prompt and effectual medicine in use for this disease.

Hope of Philadelphia charges a phonograph with the word of praise she wants the parrot to learn, and then shuts him in a room alone with the machine. The bird listens to the oft-repeated sound and tries to outdo the brazen throat so strong, no exquisite of human strength, and so much time than personal attention would consume, he masters one lesson and then is put upon another. Horses In Shrimp Fishing. Horses play an important part in shrimp fishing along the Belgian coast. A procession of weather-beaten fishermen starts from the shore, each man mounted on the back of a trained horse, dragging the triangular purse-shaped net, which he lifts over the sands. These fishermen on horseback frequently make hauls of several hundred weight in a single trip. Frozen Meat. Frozen meat will keep any length of time. It undergoes a change, however, and is of the quality of secondrate meat after long staying in cold storage. It is thawed by being allowed to stay some hours in a warm atmosphere, never by being put suddenly to the fire. It is useless to attempt the cooking of frozen meat. Thawing must take place first. Useless Advice to Soldiers. The London News calls attention to the fact that when the building that is now Wellington barracks, Dublin, was a jail it had the words, "Cause to do Evil-Learn to do Well", chiselled over the gateway. When it became a barracks the authorities, perhaps realizing the uselessness of such advice in some cases, had the words removed. Now Don't Laugh! In a case before the Melbourne court the other day, Sidney Martin was charged with insulting behaviour — i.e. kissing a woman violently in the street. Martin, however, established the fact that the woman was his wife, and he was discharged accordingly without a blemish on his so entheon!—Sydney Bulletin.

VIRTUAL PHONES Office 1917 Residence 958 Room 808, 200, 300 G) J) BLOGS Det Moores, Ia Czar's Winter Palace. The winter palace is the czar's winter home and officially the palace of the government. The winter palace was built by the empress Anne on the site of a house given to Peter the Great by one of his admirals. Finished after several interruptions in 1762, it was largely destroyed by fire in 1837, and immediately rebuilt. Its furnishings are said to be gorgeous. Dropper Her False Teeth. A passenger on an English railway train pulled the "communication cord" the other day and stopped the train. When the guard came to the compartment in which the cord had been pulled he found a distracted woman passenger. She had been looking out of the window and had dropped her false teeth. She wished to go back and find them. Horsehoes In History Even horseshoes have been made to serve the purpose of extravagance and display. Sabina Poppa, the beautiful and luxury-loving wife of the Roman emperor, Nero, is said to have owned a horse, and the world over, horseshoes are supposed to possess some occult power of attracting luck and warding off evil. Willing to Teach. A farmer was in the city hunting for a boy who wanted a farm. The boy could earn a home with food, clothing and education and a future chance to rent a farm, make money and in time buy it. Some men are buying farms while some men are losing them. Is it due to education?—Earl M. Pratt. London Poliée Court Decision. "Sleeping in the open air can only be practiced with safety from arrest by wealthy persons, or those who can be held with plenty of means and are doing it for experiment—and then only so long as no obstruction is caused," said the magistrate of a London poliée court the other day. Warrior's Death-Bed Toast. Gen. De Sonnaz, Italian senator at Rome, before dying, and just after he had received the Last Sacrament, expressed a desire to put on his uniform. He then called for champagne, and drank with those around his bed, "To the health of the King and the prosperity of the country." Juliet Ahead of Modern Girl The mode of procedure in courtship has indeed altered since Shakespeare's days. He made Juliet first confess her love. She asks, "Does thou love me?" and bids Romeo, if his purpose be marriage, to send her word next day. This is stages in advance of the modern girl. The First Writing. The first writing was picture writing, in which the meaning was indicated by a drawing, as a serpent or creature, or by a creature, or creatures. The Phoenicians invented to indicate signs which are substantially the same as our present letters. Brunettes Hayn Advantage It is claimed that the faculties and senses of brunettes, as well as of dark and full-colored animals, is much more acute than that of londres and white animals, that enable them to avoid threats, which they fortunate brethren would not notice. Can'tlever Bridge in Thibet In a recent lecture in London it was remarked as curious that though the Thibetans had not realized the principle of the wheel or arch, they thoroughly understood that of the cantilever and used it in their bridges. Typographical Error Some typographical errors compel a correction. A Tennessee paper that announced the introduction of a bill to put a tax of $500 on dealers in furniture hastens to explain that it meant dealers in futures. Gives Work to 100,000.
