In reading the history of Johnson County from 1836 to 1889, we found a chapter in telling about John Brown being in battle and we thought it would be of interest to the many readers of the Bystanders' first visit to this city was in 1850 as he was best from Kansas and was accompanied by one of his sons, Hon. W. Ponn Clarke was a member of the Kansas National Committee for Iowa and his residence being here he made this town the chief headquarters west of the Mississippi who were sympathetic with free state men of Kansas. On his journeys through Iowa, he was generally accompanied by slaves and he could always find food and shelter and words of encouragements at the home of Hon. Jno. B. Grinnell of Grinnell and his next stopping place would be Pedee, a (quaker) settlement a few miles east of this city just over the line in Cedar County, and his fifth visit to that town was in the beginning of the winter 1857's and now appears, he intended to spend the winter there in preparation for his Harper's Ferry raid the plans of which he now disclosed to some of his confidants at Pedee and on this occasion he was accompanied by his band consolating of his son Owen, Anaron D. Stevens John Kegl, John E. Cook, Richard Realf, Chas W. Moffit, Luke J. Parsons, C. H. Tidd, W. Leeeman and Richard Richardson, the latter a colored man who with his wife and three children hd made his escape from slavery in Missouri besides those named above who accompanied Brown from Kansas, the accessions to his company from Pedee settlement in the persons of Geo. Gee the two Coppie brother and atewart Taylor, Edwin Coppie Washung, while his brother Barclay escaped and returned to his home, but was killed with many other union soldiers were while a train was crossing a railroad the support of which had been partially burned by the Missouri bushwackers and when the train attempted to pass the timbers fell and it plunged into the stream many feet below. Brown quartered his men during that winter at the house in Wun Nuxon about three miles North-east of Springside, and this was the first cemetery or gravel house built in the state on April 22nd 1858 Brown having returned from the east bid his men prepare for the movement and they left on the 27th of April, it was their intention to go to Harper's Ferry at that time but they went to Chatham, Canada where a convention was held and it decided to postpone the movement for while and Brown went to Kansas again and on Feb. 4, 1859 we find him on his way again to this city, crossing the Missouri at Nebraska City and went to M. Tabor (the seat of Tabor college in Fremont County) stopping one night on the way at Dr. Blanhead after resting for a week at M. Tabor, they went to Des Moines, stayed for a few days at the houses of the Messers Tool, Wells and Murray they crossed the Moissier river on the 18th., Mr. John Teesdale then Editor of the Rogier paid their ferrigation Teesdale and Brown had been personal friends in Ohio on Feb. 20th they reached Grinell and were the temporary guest of the present representative of the district in Congress (Bonn. J. Grinell) on the 25th of Feb. Born (J. Grinell) last time visited Pedeo having past through the city the night previous, and after some trouble they secured a closed box car and went to Chicago and by the sid of Mr. Pinkerton the very man who "detective agency" is known, hated and feared by outlaws in every corner of the civilized world, He was able to secure a car and go to Canada and it was at this time it might be to repeat that Brown it might the U. S. Arsenal at Harper's Ferry, Va. on the night of 16. Oct. 1859. The next morning a few soldiers and citizens attacked him without success several being killed on both sides, but in a few hours he was surrounded by 1500 State and Federal troops and captured John Brown and six of his men being still alive, while twelve had been killed Oct. 27, they were and on December 2 and he his six subordinates were hung then began that era of history and song when "John Brown's body lay Mouldering in the grave but his soul went. Marbling on" and there is now in the State Historical Society a two pound brass howitzer which was used by John Brown in Kansas fighting for free state cause there, this he was taking east for his Harper's Ferry prospect it is supposed, but was to Camberon to ship when the other arms were sent on as "carpenter tools" and he left it with Dr. Bowen who presented it to the Historical Society. John Brown's Night Escape From On his last visit here in lasmash as the government had put a price on Brown's head and the Missouri slaveholders had offered a reward for the capture of their escaped slaves. The hideous and heatheartless fugitive slave law of the U. S. was then in full force which made every man in the nation liable to be called upon by some U. S. Marshall to serve on his pose coniusit as a slave catcher or she ocurre dfire punities for neglecting or refusing to do so, hence that evening when Mr Brown and two of his friends came over from Peden that evening it was soon whispered about town of their arrival and some of the democrats made plans to capture them, and during the evening Brown and Kagi went into a sturant to get some refreshments and while they were in the back room eating Boatham and a blacksmith named Rife (afterward died in the insane asylum) went to the front door of the restaurant with rope in hand and wanted to know if John Brown wasn't in there and the proprietor answered no. I haven't seen any John Brown, what do you want with him they said he was that nigger thief of Kansas and they were going to hang him and started off, and after they left the proprietor went back and inquired is your name Brown old John answered "yes air that my name, old John Brown of Kansas well sir they are going to hang you two men have been here with a rope looking for; you and I told them you was not here" Brown arose and his openus on display a belt hung full of revolvers and bowe knives and said let them, I'm ready for them" and there was a meeting held that evening on the street to devise some method to capture Brown and his party and get the reward and as leader among this gang of slave hounds was Wm. luckenberry who afterward went to the penitentiary, they were all fully aware that Brown and his party were heavily armed and no one wanted to lose his life for a few dollars so the question was to get a few drop on them and they were afraid to attack them during the night and they sent pickets out to watch the barn where Brown kept his horses, also the house where he was staying, but Mr. Brown and his friends eluded them and went back to Pedea that night unharmed and the next day they left for Chicago. The above is a concise sketch of his visits to this county and state. E. W. T. We present our readers with the cut of James O'Donnell who is a candidate for Treasurer of West Des Moines school board. He is the present incumbent and has made a good faithful treasurer and his many friends are working hard for his election. He is a good business man, is cashier of the German Savings bank and will if elected be faithful to every duty. MINISTER HELD NOT GUILTY OF LIBEL The signal victory that Rev. Lomack won in the supreme yesterday over Wright will be far reaching. The public believed at the time of the famous trial that Lomack had proved all he alleged in his circulars and vindicated himself in the eyes of the Public. The supreme court reversed the Polk county district court that found Rev. F. C. Lomack guilty of libeling H. R. Wright, now consulator of the United States at one of the Central American ports. Judge Edmund Nichols of Dallas county presided in the case. He held that to justify his charge that Wright had separated two husbands and wives he must prove adultery. This it was impossible to do to the satisfaction of the jury and the supreme court says that it was an unreasonable requirement on Lomack. CEDAR RAPID8 NOTES The P. L. D.

At about the ago pt 40 he had saved about $3,000. Four years ago he landed near Han- ley, Sask, Ho now owns 480 acres of Jana. Last fall (1905) he threshed 4,100 bushels of wheat arid 8,100 bush- ‘els of oats,, His wheat alone brought im over $4,000, which would have pald for the acres that {t grew on. He is today worth $15,000. ‘This Is Making Money Fast. Im Feb. 1902, J. G. Smith & Bro. ‘were weavers in a big cotton mill in Lancashire, England, Coming here they arrived in Wapella, Sask., with only $750.00 between them. They ‘were co “green” and inexperienced that all they could earn the first sum mer was $6.00 per month, and the frat winter they had to work for thelr board. ‘The next year, 1908, they took homesteads, and by working for nelgh- Lore, they got a few acres broken out, ‘apon which the ‘next year they raised ‘a few hundred bushels of wheat and oats, They also bought a team and broke out about sixty acres more. In 1905 they threshed 1700 bushels of wheat from it, and 1800 bushels of cats, Their success being then as, sured they borrowed some money. bullt a good house, barn and implo- ment shed, and bought a cream sepa- mator, etc. They now have a dozen ‘ows, some full-blooded pigs and chickens, good teams and Implements to match, and are on the high road to prosperity. Here are three cases selected from my note book from ‘among ascore of others. One a mine oss, one a farmer, and one a factory ‘eperator. With each"ot them I took tea and listened to their story. “I hoped to better my condition,” sald “T thought in time I might make @,” sald another. “I had high xp *Wtations,” sald the other, and all ald thac®t never dreamed it possible o succeed Ba I have.” Like Aradicrn Nights, Everywhere, on the tralns, #o# th jotels and in the family I have been old successes that reminded me more ft tho stories in the Arablan Nights han of this matterotfact workaday world. Yields of wheat from 35 to 3 bushels per acre, end of oats of rom 60 to 100 bushels, are numerous n every locality and well authentl- ated. At Moose Jaw, Lethbridge, “aleary, Edmonton, Regina, Brandon, Hanley and many intermediate places saw cattle and young horses fat as yur grain-fed animals of the “States” hat bad never’ tasted grain, and hose cost to thelr owners was uimost nothing. At Moosomin I saw a rain load of 1,400 steers en route to England, that were shaky fat, raised 12 above stated. If the older genera Hon of farmers in Indiana, who have spent their lives in a contest with jogs and stumps as did thelr fathers petore them, could see these broad prairies dotted with comfortable homes, large red bars, and straw piles innumerable, and ‘the thriving jowns with thelr towering elevators jammed to the roof with “No. 1 hard," and then remember that four or five years ago these plains were tenantless put for the badger and coyote, they would marvel at the transformation. Then if they followed the crowds as they emerged from the trains and purried to the land offices, standing n line until thelr respective turns to pe waited on came, and saw with what rapidity these Jands are being faken, they would certainly catch the mdlseaso” and want some of ft too if these lands aro beautiful in mid winter, with ‘thelr long stretches of yellow stubble standing high above tho snow, what must they be in sum jer time when covered with growing oF ripening grains? Speaking of win fer reminds me that our Hooslet friends shrug thelr shoulders when they read in the Chicago and Minne apolis dailies of the temperature up here. For that very reason I am here chis winter. ‘The Canadian literature, with its pictures, half tones and sta istics, glves a good Idea of her re gources, but thirty or forty degrees polow zero sounds dangerous to Hoozler, who neatly freezes in a tem perature of five above, especially when accompanied by a wind, as {t often 1s, but the fact 1s, when it ie very cold hero it {s still’ and the alt pelng dry,the cold ts not felt as It is in our lower latitudes, where there 1s more humidity in the atmospbere, 1 am §6 and I never saw a finer winter chan the one I am spending up.hére, 1 arrived in Winnlpeg Nov. §, and have not had the bottoms of my overshoes wet since I entered Canada, Under a oudless sky T.have ridden in aleighs nearly a thousand mfles, averaging a drive every other day.” Stone mason: have mot lost a week's time so far this winter.

It is very improper for a girl not to make a man apologize for kissing her when her mother told her she must not let anybody do it. Not long ago the performance in the auditorium of a Seville theater was far more exciting than that on the stage. Two persons continued applauding a player while most of the audience were hissing. Some of the latter attacked the two applauders, causing fractured skulls and death. Several midshipmen from the Naval Academy at Annapolis were in Washington on their vacations. They sat at a table, in the Palm Room of the Willard Hotel, discussing celebrities. They did not think much of General Miles, spoke slightly of the Marine Corps, and boasted of their intimate acquaintance with Admiral Dewey, and other naval officers of high rank. Their voices could be heard even in the remote recesses of the room. For a short time the midshipmen highly entertained the other patrons, for whose benefit the conversation was carried on. Then the hearers became bored. Finally a man, sitting at a table next to the one occupied by the midshipmen, summoned a waiter, and when he was several feet away called out: "Waiter, bring me a navy flip." "I never heard of that drink. How is it made?" said the waiter. "It's made with condensed milk and a little hot water," he replied. The midshipmen went out in a few minutes. A NECESSARY EVIL. Experience of a Minister Who Tried to Think That of Coffee. "A descendant of the Danes, a nation of coffee drinkers, I used coffee freely till I was 20 years old." writes a clergyman from Iowa. "At that time I was a student at a Biblical Institute, and suddenly became aware of the fact that my nerves had become demoralized, my brain dull, and sluggish and that insomnia was fastening its hold upon me. "I was loath to believe that these things came from the coffee I was drinking, but at last was forced to that conclusion, and quit it. "I was so accustomed to a hot table beverage and felt the need of it so much, that after abstaining from coffee for a time and recovering my health, I went back to it. I did this several times, but always with disastrous results. I had about made up my mind that coffee was a necessary evil. "About this time a friend told me that I would find Postum Food Coffee very fine and in many respects away ahead of coffee. So I bought some and, making it very carefully according to the directions, we were delighted to find that he had not exaggerated in the least. From that day to this we have liked it better than the old kind of coffee or anything else in the way of a table drink. "Us use gave me, in a very short time, an increase in strength, clearness of brain and steadiness of nerves; and sleep, restful and restoring, came back to me. "I am thankful that we heard of Postum and shall be glad to testify at any time to the good it has done me." Name given by Postum Co. Bathe Creek, Mich. There's a reason.

Washington, March 5.—Senate—In the senate today Mr. Nelson continued the discussion of the statehood bill, urging the passage of the measure as reported from the committee on territories. The remainder of the bill was decided to the passage of bills on the calendar, among them being one providing for compulsory education in the District of Columbia. House. Legislation by unanimous consent and under suspension of the rules occupied the attention of the house today and resulted in the passage of several bills, some of considerable importance. The adoption of a resolution of inquiry as to whether any criminal prosecutions have been begun against individuals in the Northern Securities company, furnished the text for a speech of clamour by the commission directed against the administration. Brief answers were made by Mr. Jenkins of Wisconsin and Mr. Grosvenor of Ohio. Mr. Jenkins showed that the statute of limitations had run against any action that might be taken in this case and that any effort at prosecution would be useless. Washington, March 6.—Senate—The question of the enlargement of the medical department of the army occupied the major portion of the time of the senate today. The question arose in connection with the consideration of a bill for the displacement of contract surgeons by physicians who shall be given the rank of army officers and the reorganization of the medical corps. Mr. Hale criticized the bill as an entering wedge for a general measure of the army and said that it was the purpose of the general staff which he charged with a general purpose of enhancing the army's importance. In the course of his remarks the senator from Maine said that the general staff was disposed to encourage an invasion of China. House—The house began its session today by passing without discussion or opposition a bill for the relief of tobacco growers by permitting them to sell leaf tobacco without having the tax of 6 cents a pound heretofore charged. The balance of the day was devoted to the tariff discussion, the Indian appropriation bill being the vehicle to carry the debate. Mr. Lacey, in discussing the home market and the German tariff, initiated only argument from both sides, participated in generally, and near the close of the day Mr. Williams, the minority leader, talked for more than an hour. Washington, March 7.—Senate! The issues involved in the controversy over the pending railroad rate bill were squarely presented to the senate today in the speech of Senator Clapp, one of the republicans supporting the measure without amendment, and by resultant remarks from Senators Bailey and Hoffman, who are supposed to represent the views of the democrats. The discussion of these speeches later by senators on both sides of the chamber developed a new phase of the situation. Senators Aldrich, Foraker, Crane and other republicans who are seeking to amend the bill so as to provide for judicial review of orders of the federal commerce commission, took the position that the dissatisfaction of the subject democrats are divided and that the friends of the bill should not be accepted in its present form. They said they were encouraged in the position they had taken from the first and declared that when the bill is brought to a vote they will have supporters enough to adopt a court review feature. House—With six set speeches and permission to print two others In the Record without delivery, no two of which were on the same subject, the house today closed general debate on the Indian appropriation bill, and tomorrow will take that measure up for amendment. Washington, March 8—Senate—Today afforded the last opportunity for-general debate in the senate on the statehood bill and the entire time of the session was devoted to that order of business. Starting with a speech by Mr. McCumber, which began a few minutes after 11 o'clock, there was no cessation in the speaking until the adjournment late in the evening. The whole time was occupied by three senators, Mr. Beveridge supporting the bill and Messrs. McCumber and Patterson opposing it. House—The house today passed the Indian appropriation bill carrying $7,785,528. It then proceeded to tangle itself up over the bill to abolish the grade of lieutenant general in the army. The result was an adjournment for lack of a quorum, after members had been locked in the hall for a half hour and the assistant sergeant-at-arms had been scurrying to the various hotels in search of members. The vote to consider the bill showed an overwhelming sentiment in its favor. Clothes do not make the man, but they make about two-thirds of the woman. A man's second childhood is usually a base travesty on the first. An ounce of confidence in yourself is worth a pound in others. A clerk to a house-agent in London was sent to make an inventory of the furniture in a certain house. He was so long about his task that, at last, the mistress of the house went to the porter to see what was taking place. She found the man slumbering sweetly on the sofa, with an empty bottle beside him. It was evident, however, that he had made a pathetic, though solitary, attempt to do his work, for in the inventory-book was written "One revolving carpet." When a man isn't afraid of the cook it is because she is his wife. Charles Scurr, a prominent farmer residing four miles north of Glidden, was brightly mangled in a circular timber saw and died as a result. Mr. Scurr was carrying a timber, and when near the carriage slipped and fell, striking the large saw in such manner that one arm was completely severed and his head was badly cut and prised. The accident occurred the farm of Swan Brothers. Mr. Scurr was about 46 years of age and was one of the best known men in eastern Carroll county. For Sick Women DAZED WITH PAIN. The Bufferings of a Citizen of Olympia, Wash. L. S. Gorham, of 516 East St., Olympia, Wash., says: "Six years ago I got wet and took cold, and was soon flat in bed, suffering tortures with my back. Every movement caused an agonizing pain, and the persistence of it exhausted me, so that for a time I was dazed and stupid. On the advice of a friend I began using Doan's Kidney Pills, and soon noticed a change became tortures with my back. My movement caused an agonizing pain, and the persistency of it exhausted me, so that for a time I was dazed and stupid. On the advice of a friend I began using Donn's Kidney Pills, and soon noticed a change for the better. The kidney secretions had been disordered and irregular, and contained a heavy sediment, but in a week's time the urine was clear and natural again and the passages regular. Gradually the aching and soreness left my back and then the lameness. I used six boxes to make sure of a cure, and the trouble has never returned." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box.

WORST FORM OF ECZEMA. Black Splotches All Over Face—Affected Parts Now Clear as Ever—Cured by the Cuticura Reme- "About four years ago I was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itching irritation, and which caused me a great deal of annoyance and suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of my town. After a thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced it to be skin eczema in its worst form. They treated me for the same for the length of one year, but the treatment did me no good. Finally my husband purchased a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and after using the contents of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent in connection with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, the breaking out entirely stopped. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six months, and after that every splotch was entirely gone and the affected parts were left as clear as ever. The Cuticura Remedies not only cured me of that dreadful disease, eczema, but other complicated troubles as well. Lizzie E. Sledge, 540 Jones Ave., Selma, Ala. Oct. 28, 1905."

The rush, push and strenuousness of the American people has a strong influence on the medical affections of the heart, attended by irregular action, palpitation, dizziness, smothered sensations and other distressing symptoms. The prominent ingredients of which Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery is made are recommended by some of the leading writers on *Materia Medical* for the cure of just such cases. Golden Medical is a United STATES DISPENSATORY, a standard authority, "to impart tone and increased power to the heart's action." Numerous other leading authorities report that it must be greatly strengthened to be able to tone for the muscular system in general, and as the heart is almost wholly composed of muscular tissue, it naturally follows that it must be greatly strengthened to be able to probably the most important ingredient of "Golden Medical Discovery," so far as its marvelous cures of valvular and other affections of the heart are concerned. Prof. Wm. Paline, author of Palne's Epitomy of Medicine, says of it: "It not long since, had a patient who was so much ill, that his friends were obliged to carry him up stairf. He however, gradually recovered, recovering the principal principle extracted from Stone root, and is now attending to his business. Heretofore physical and mental distress and so dangerous a malady. With them it was all unquestionably work—less work, and death was near at hand. Collinston unquestionably affords relief in such cases, and in most instances effects a Stone root is also recommended by Drs. Hale and Ellingwood, of Chicago, for valvular and other diseases of the heart, and says, "It is a heart tonic of direct and permanent influence." "Golden Medical Discovery," not only cures serious heart affections, but is a doctor, strengthening the stomach, invigorating the liver, regulating the bowels and curing catarrhal affections in all parts of the system.
