Evening Dr. Jordan's Meeting The lecture of Dr. L. G. Jordan of Louisville, Ky., at the Corinthian Baptist church and under the auspices of the local Afro-American Council was a marked success from every point of view notwithstanding the indemnity of the weather. The auditorium of the church was filled to its utmost capacity and the speaker proved himself to be even more than equal to the occasion. The address was interpersed with appropriate illustrations which in addition to being humorous is many instances illustrated the points with great force than any more argument could possibly have done.

A GREAT MAN A brief interview last Sunday with Dr. E. B. P. Koti, who is a native African, educated here in the christian college, but now devoting all his time and energies to spread the light in that great dark continent, was indeed very interesting. He is a man about 60 years old, has been in America since last October and will leave next April 7th for Cape Colony, S. A. His mission station is in a town called Gaikas, about 750 miles inland from Cape Town. Dr. Koti is quite intelligent and is much enthused upon the bright future in Africa for our race. CITY ELECTION The city election held last Monday passed off quietly, as there was but little excitement, yet the extreme closeness of the results speaks for what a quite campaign will do. The citizens ticket made a tremendous run. They elected 3 of the 9 aldermen and are preparing to contest the seats of 4 more and the Mayor. The republicans elected were: Mayor, Geo. W. Mattern; City Treasurer, John Lucus; City Solicitor, W. H. Bremner; City Engineer, George D. Dobson; Park Commissioner (West Side) W. B. Keffer, (East Side) Hon. Isaac Brandt; Police Judge, A. J. Mathis, democrat; Alderman-at-Large, (East Side) W. H. Brereton; Third Ward, J. F. Donovan; Fourth Ward, Ream Johnson; Fifth Ward, C. C. Christy; Sixth Ward, John O. Staley, Seventh Ward, W. H. Frailey. The Citizens ticket elected the Police Judge as above mentioned; J. L. Hamery of First Ward; Daniel O'Grady of Second Ward and Eugene Waterbury alderman at, West Side. This general unrest or lack of confidence is due to the fact that there is too much grafting which lead many good citizens to try the new men. There are always two parties to a contract, and yet in a majority of cases but one is expected to carry it out. This week we present the name of Mr. F. Copeland of Saylor township, who is a candidate for county recorder of Polk county. He was born in Ohio in 1865, came to Iowa in 1887 and to Polk county 10 years ago. He received a good education; taught school in this county and for several years was book-keeper for the Saylor Coal Co., also the Enterprise Coal Co. His fair treatment with those colored boys and the accomodation he has given them has been complimented. He was one of the deputies in the recorder's office one year, which has given him a general insight into the duties of said office. He is a stenographer by profession. Mr. Copeland is a deserving young man, well qualified and merit your support. LANG FOR LEGISLATURE. It is indeed a pleasure for us to present the cut of our old friend Delbert R. Lang of Allen township, who is a candidate for the Representative to represent the farmers of Polk county. He is the only practical actual farmer candidate thus far. He is an Iowan by birth; came to this county ten years ago; attended the Iowa Business College, Ames Agricultural College, then entered Drake University where he graduated from the literary course and then took a law course in Drake and graduated from the Law Department. He is an active young republican worker and will no doubt make a good representative. He ask your support. KEOKUK NOTES.

IOWA CITY NOTES The city election was held last Monday and as usual in cities there was free transportation furnished for a number of voters - here to busy to quit work and, walk to the poles, hence conveyance was sent for them. At the time this was written we could not ascertain who will have a majority of the council, the republicans or democrats. Iowa won the indoor meet very easily from Normal last Saturday night, the final score was 54 points for Iowa and 22 for the Normalities. The prospect for the Old Gold of winning the state meet seems to be very good or at least each Catlin is pleased with the showing that his squad made at the meet and with more than six weeks before the State Field meet it will give him time to get all the men in good condition for that annual event. Chas. Smith who has been soik is convalescent. John Jones will go to the country this week to assist in preparing several car loads of cattle for shipment. He has been very successful in this line of work for a number of years and his services are sought for by some of the wealthiest farmers in this and surrounding counties.

The object of the club is to unity and sociability of the Afro-Americans of this city. At their meeting last Tuesday night which was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Meliavs mach enthusiasm was displayed and every member seemed to be working hard to make each meeting a success; while there is not a very large population of colored people in this city, yet there is enough to maintain a good club and we see no reason why this one will not succeed.

E. church Sunday School have begin practicing on the programme to be rendered Easter. Miss Byrdie Dowdy has charge of the pupils. Robt. E. Ruffin has gone to Huron, S. D. where he has accepted a position. Wilhard J. Dowdy has returned to Mitchell, S. D. He was called home on account of the death of his father and mother and the serious illness of his sister Helen who was able to return home last week. The case of the Dowdy family was one of the quiesist that has ever happened in this city. On Feb 7, Mr. Dowdy died of pneumonia, on the same day Mrs. Dowdy was taken down with the same disease of which she died on the 21st of February, two hours before the death of Mrs. Dowdy the youngest daughter Helen was removed to the sacred Heart Hospital.

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 throated trumpet, so that with no expenditure of human strength, and in shorter time than personal attention would consume, he masters one lesson and then is put upon another. Horses In Shrimp Fishing. 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 scoops in the shrimps as it passes 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 fall it had the words, "Cease to do Evil—Learn to do Woll," ciphered over the gateway. When it became a barracks the authorities, perhaps realizing the uselessness of such advice in some cases, had the words removed. Turkish War Expenses Something like three-fourths of the annual expenditure of the Turkish government has of recent years been for arms and munitions of war. Silent Japanese Soldiers. Japanese soldiers fight noiselessly. They have no bands, no drums beat revellie or tattoo, and in action they utter no cheers. Irrigation Adds Value. By means of irrigation something like 3,500,000 acres of land in Dakota have been increased in value over $230,000,000. Smiths Lead All. In the city of Washington there are 13,000 Browns, 15,000 Smiths, 14,000 johnsons and 1,000 Joneses. Average Journey of Freight. The average journey of a ton of freight is 128 miles. By order of a New York court a mother gave her seventeen-year-old girl who had attempted suicide a spanking with a hair brush. The fall from the sublime to the ridiculous might be more spectacular, but never more complete. WHAT IS EDUCATION? Education is the act of developing a child. Education is the act of guiding the powers of a child. Education is a drawing forth, disciplining the intellect. Education is the act of forming or regulating the principles of the child. Education is the act of expanding, strengthening, and disciplining the child. THE ATTIC PHILOSOPHER. Lots of people lose a good character going after a good income. It's hard work living up to the in- come people sometimes think you get. He is a wise man who knows how to be just familiar enough to borrow a dollar. It must be a difficult matter for a woman with false teeth to hold a mouthful of hairpins. Subscribe for the Iowa State Bystander. GET RID OF THE GAS GET RID OF THE GAS Dr. Williams' Pink Pill Strengthen the stomach and Enable it to Do its Work. When the stomach is feeble the food lies in it undigested, decays and throws off poisonous gases that distend the walls of the stomach and cause interference with other organs, especially with the action of the heart and lungs. These gases have other ill effects. The gases cause other diseases and discomforts such as dizziness, it flashes, sleepsiness, irritability and despondency originate from this source. Experience shows that these troubles vanish just as soon as the stomach is made strong enough to digest the food. In other words, it needs a conic that will hold the food into nourishment. Miss Minerva O. Ladd, of Ipswich, Mass., says: "I had a weak stomach from the time I was a little child, because terrible fatness, and I would finally vomit what I had eaten. At times there would be the most intense pains through the upper part of my stomach, and violent belching spells were very common. "My doctor's medicines gave me little relief and it was not until I tried Dr. Williams" Pink Pills that I found a cure. Within three weeks a decided improvement was seen, and the spells were less frequent, the pains through my body were not so intense, my food was retained and after taking the pills for a few weeks longer I found the miseries I had so long suffered."

It was on my body and on my feet so thick that I could hardly put a pin on my without touching eczema. I was cared for, my eyebrows came out, and then it got in my eye. I then went to another doctor. He asked me what I was taking for it, and I told him Cuticura. He said that was a very good thing, but that he thought that my face would be marked for life. But Cuticura did its work, and my face is now just as clear as it ever was. I toled all my friends about myremembrance feel I had a wonderful and wide to know what Cuticura can do. It is a sure cure for eczema. Mrs. Emma White, 641 Cherrie Place, Camden, N. J., April 25, 1905." S. B. Clark, an experienced hunter of Omaha, went to the Big Horn Mountains in quest of game. For ten days he was missing, and then his friends found his body and the bodies of two grizzly bears lying together. The bears had died of bullet and knife wounds. Clark had four broken ribs, a chewed arm, and a wound at the base of the brain. When a man is hasily dressing, and is struggling with an obstinate collar-button, he is apt to envy the savages, who never use either collars or collar-button. He may easily cool his temper and accomplish his object by simply wetting his thumb and forefinger, and coiling in this way the hole seems eager to clutch and hold the button. A friend of Thomas A. Edison, looking over the great inventor's laboratory, observed a curious model. It looked like a cradle with some kind of telephonic attachment. "What on earth is that?" inquired the visitor. "I hope to make my fortune out of that invention," said Edison gravely. "It is a motor to run by sound. You attach it to a cradle, and the louder the baby cries the faster the cradle rocks." Hot water was, not long ago, supplied through the mains of Dravosburg, a village in western Pennsylvania. It steamed from the faucets in the houses, and was really too hot to drink. It appears that a water main from the village pumping-station passes beneath an old slag pile, and the water has been unplated, and has since been smoldering. The heat extended to the water main; therefore the hot water. FOOD HELPS. In Management of a R. R. Speaking of food, a railroad man says: "My work puts me in all kinds of weather, subject to irregular hours for meals and compelled to eat all kinds of food. "For 7 years I was constantly troubled with indigestion, caused by eating heavy, fatty, atarchy, greasy, poorly cooked food, such as the most accessible to men in my business. Generally each meal or lunch was followed by distressing pains and burning sensations in my stomach, which unfitted me for work. My brain was so muddy and foggy that it was hard for me to discharge my duties properly. "This lasted for a year, about a year ago, when the condition was called to Grape-Nuts food by a newspaper ad, and I concluded to try it. Since then I have used Grape-Nuts at nearly every meal, and sometimes between meals. We railroad men have little chance to prepare our food in our cabooses and I find Grape-Nuts mighty handy, for it is ready cooked. "To make a long story short, Grape Nuts has made a new man of me. I have no more burning distress in my stomach, nor any other symptom of indication. I can digest anything so long as I eat Grape-Nuts, and my brain works as clearly and accurately as an engineer's watch, and my old book disappeared entirely." Name given by Postum Co.

Decision by the Supreme Court of the State, Against Medica's Home A verdict has been rendered in favor of the plaintiff in the libel suit brought against the Ladies' Home Journal (published by the Curtis Publishing Co.) by the World's Dispensary Medical Association, of which Dr. R. V. Pierce is president. The suit was brought by Doctor Pierce against the Curtis Publishing Co., for making false statements about one of his standard family medicines known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. In the May number of the Ladies' Home Journal (1904), Mr. ward Bok, the editor, stated that the container contained alcohol and some other harmful ingredients, and Dr. Pierce had in the action alleged that the defendant maliciously published this article containing such false and defamatory matter. Dr. Pierce further claimed that no alcohol is or ever was contained in his "Favorite Prescription," that said medicine was a "neutral preparation and contained no deleterious ingredients whatever; that Mr. Bok's statement, pretending to give some of the ingredients of said medicine, was wholly and absolutely false. During the trial, the Vice President of the World's Dispensary Association stated, that the Ingredients of the Favorite Prescription were extracted from the following native roots: Golden Seal, Blue Cohosh, Lady's Slipper, Black Cohosh and Unicorn, by the amount of pure glycerine. He was asked how he knew, as a physician and experienced medical man, that the "Favorite Prescription" was a cure for the diseases peculiar to women, such as amnorrhea, dysmenorrhea, anterversion retro-version, and he stated that he knew such was the fact because of his professional experience and the many thousands of women whose ill has been "by the Vice-President, being asked to give his authorities, read from the standard works, such as the United States Dispensary, The American Dispensary and many other standard medical books. The retraction printed by the Curtis Publishing Company two months after the libelous statement appeared and nearly two months after the suit had been begun stated definitely that analyses had been made at their request and that the "Favorite Prescription" did not contain either alcohol, opium or digitalis.

SUFFERING IS VERY GREAT Families in Flooded District Rescued after Heroic Efforts—About Five Hundred Men Are Thrown Out of Work. Waterloo, March 28.—Hundreds of families are homeless and thousands of dollars worth of damage has been done to business and property interests by floods here, which became serious at an early hour this morning. This water in the Cedar river has risen eleven feet and at 3:15 this morning broke the west levee, flooding the entire west side. This includes the Westfield manufacturing district, in which ten factories, employing in all about 500 men, are located. The Marsh separator factory, employing 600 men is also inundated. The places in Westfield which are flooded are as follows: Waterloo Threshing Machine Co. Kent Manufacturing company. Headford Bros., foundry. Waterloo Motor Works. Waterloo Cast Iron company. Waterloo Carriage company. Waterloo and Cedar Falls Power House. Waterloo Creamery company. Iron Dairy Separator company. Globe Box Factory. Artificial ice company. In East Waterloo the Litchfield factory is hounded. The Waterloo water works company for the first time in the history of the town is under wi er and there is much fear that no fire protection can be had for them. In the downtown district the Y. M. C. A. building is partially flooded, and the $1,000 gymnasium fixtures have been destroyed. The Cedar Falls & Waterloo railway is tied up. The dam at Saa Soul park went out early this morning and one of the bridges north of the it is six inches off its pliers. It is feared that it will fall into the raoring torrent. Two hundred families are left homeless and work of rescue is being carried on by men on horseback and in boats. The imprisoned people are being taken from the windows of their homes and carried to the places of safety as rapidly as possible. The river is still rising and it is hard to tell where the disaster will end. It has just been reported that the east side levee h.s also broken and that the wholesale district on the east side is flooded, cottars being full The same fate has befallen the general business district on the west side. The Rock Island tracks between Waterloo and Cedar Falls have been washed out for half a mile and trains are running over the Illinois Central. The Rock Island bridge at Shellrock is his morning. Reports of Cedar Falls show a similar disaster. It is reported that 200 families there have been driven from their homes, many of them being taken away in boats. Any estimate of the money loss at this time is impossible, but it will aggregate many thousands of dollars. The flood situation is the most serious has ever confronted this city. Hundreds of people without the comforts of life and it will take theuous measures to relieve the distress which will ensue, especially among the families of the working men, who are left without employment for an indefinite length of time. The Westfield manufacturing district was established several years ago, and has been built up by the ceaseless efforts of the Waterloo business men, is the center of the manufacturing district of the city. Reports from the area around here indicate that the unprecedented high water is everywhere causing great distress and damage. Early this morning the general alarm was sounded and the entire city turned out to help the flood sufferers. The eleven foot mark reached by the river is the highest reached by the floods of the city's floods. Reports from nearby City and points to the north are to the effect that the water is going down there and relief is expected from the flood some time today. Waterloo, March 23.—With scores of homes in the outlying additions of the basements of practically all the buildings in West Waterloo filled with water and the majority of the factories closed by high water, Waterloo is experiencing the worst flood in its history. It is impossible to estimate the damage in dollars and cents as it will largely depend upon the rapidity of the water recedes. Some claim that it will total between $30,000 and $100,000. There were numerous narrow escapes, scores of families being removed from their homes during Tuesday night in boats, but there have been no serious accidents or casualties. The flood reached its height at noon yesterday and it is thought that further danger is unlikely. Carson, March 26—While preaching to his congregation yesterday Rev. J. B.

Des Moines, March 28—John T. Hamilton of Cedar Rapids has been appointed by Governor Cummins to fill the vacancy on the state board of control caused by the demise of Judge L. G. Kinne. Mr. Hamilton was not an applicant for the position, but his name had been suggested among about thirty others which were under the consideration by the governor. He is a lifelong democrat. Mr. Hamilton is a very wealthy man, and his acceptance of the position will be on the same basis as the acceptance of the commission by Governor Larrabee. Mr. Hamilton was born in Henry county, Ill., October 16, 1843. His father was a resident of Pennsylvania, and his mother of New Hampshire. After securing an education at Geneseo academy, he remained on the farm with his father until 1864, when he went into the insurance business. He remained engaged until his removal to Cedar Rapids in 1868. He engaged at Cedar Rapids in the agricultural business, which has continued. He became president of the Merchants' National bank and of the Cedar Rapids Savings bank, a business world. It is on account of his conspicuous business ability, as well as his high character and attentions, that he was chosen for the appointment. He first came into public notice as head of the fire department of Cedar Rapids in 1872. He was elected mayor of the Parlor city in 1878 and from 1883 to 1866 was on the board of supervisors of the county. In 1886 he came to the legislature as a democrat from Linn county. In 1890 he was elected speaker of the House, which was the year of the famous deanock. Mr. Hamilton was elected to congress from the Fifth district in 1890 when the democratic landslide carried several democrats into the congress from this state. He was elected by the House of Struble, but was succeeded after two years by Robert G. Cousins. He is a Mason and attends the Episcopal church. BRIDGE GOES OUT AS TRAIN PASSES OVER Mason City, March 27.—The Great Western passenger train narrowly escaped plunging into Calamus creek, three miles north of this city at 1 o'clock yesterday morning. 'the creek was a rushing torrent caused by a cloudburst and the train had barely got over when the bridge went out. The tender jumped the track on the high embankment and the coaches followed, badly bruising many passengers, though no coaches left the road bed. One hundred people were on the train. More Iowa Central two miles north of this city was condemned by bridge men yesterday. Both roads are using the Milwaukee tracks to Lyle. The electric line lost one bridge between here and Clear Lake.

FATAL WRECK IS NABROWLY AVERTED Estherville, March 26.—Passenger train No. 619 from Cedar Rapids to Sioux Falls on the Rock Island was wrecked in the yards at this point at 7:15 yesterday morning. The wreck was caused by an open switch. The train ran for some distance on the tiles. Engineer Pat Sullivan made an effort to apply the air brakes, but was knocked from his seat in the cab, down between the tender and the engine, and could not reach the lever. Conductor Gage pulled the cord and applied the air from the rear of the train as soon as he realized that it was off the track, and it stopped it almost instantly, just preventing a serious if not fatal wreck, and perhaps saving the lives of many passengers. There were five coaches on the train with a Pulman in the rear. train with a Pulman in the rear. The engine and every car left the track and the trucks were twisted from under the engine and four of the coaches. The middle car was turned naut around. The train was running at a high rate of speed and it is remarkable that no one was seriously injured. Many of the passengers were badly shaken up. Engineer Suillan, in rounding out currents into the city, did not see the open switch until his engine left the track. Another train was made up here and sent on to Slour Falls. Explosion and Flames Cause $70,000 Blaze at Oaage. Osage, March 27—Leakage of gas from the lighting plant caused an explosion at 7:30 o'clock yesterday morning in the W. H.

Nichols of Beatrices, Neb, owner of the block, lost $5,000 while Lemky was in the store. Lemky had a $30,000 stock with $15,000 insurance. Nothing was saved from either stock.

At all Druggists, $1.00 Iowa Senator Made the Great Speech of Present Congress To Date FIRST WORDS FOR DEFENSE Heard by Audience That Crowded the Senate Chamber—Efforts of Presiding Officer Could Not Prevent Expressions Of Approval. Des Moines, March 2—A Washington special to the Register and Leader says: "Senator Dolliver yesterday made what was everywhere accepted as the great speech of the present congress to date. It was the opening gun for the rate regulation forces in the battle which will be waged in the senate with little intermission until a vote is secured. The leaw immediately followed Senator Foraker, who on Wednesday delivered the first important speech for the opposition to the president's policy, and it has been widely commented that while Aldrich, Elkins and other extreme conservatives insist that they are for regulation if they can only be sure that it is safe and sane, they put forward an spokesman of the senate who has declared himself against all government regulation. "Senator Dolliver never lacks for an audience when it is known that he is to speak; but yesterday he had the greatest audience that ever listened to him in congress. The senate galleries were crowded and hundreds were turned away before the session opened. Senator Porter was the senate's chief of his long speech yesterday, was conspicuous as almost the only absentee among the senate's membership. Scores of members of the house came over to listen to Dolliver, and the senate floor was throughed by these. Around all the walls of both chamber and galleries were continuous lines of people, who listened throughout the two hours. The senate applauded from time to time, despite the stern disapproval of the presiding officer, and at the conclusion, Mr. Dolliver received congratulations for a quarter of an hour." Washington, D. C., March 2.—That interest in the railroad rate question continues unabated was made manifest again yesterday by the large audience when greeted Mr. Dollierv from the senate galleries when he rose to speak on the Dollierv-Hepburn bill. From the first the Iowa senator has been the champion of the policy of giving the Interstate commerce commission full authority and the friends of the house bill have expected him to take a leading part in pressing the consideration of the bill. The senator has been placed in charge of another senator. His was the first speech made in support of the bill. Mr. Dollierv began his speech at 12:30 p. m., immediately after the disposal of the routine business. That order included the passage of bills authorizing the disposal of lands on the Yakima and Colville Indian reservations in Washington. Mr. Dolliver spoke without notes. He began with a compliment to Mr. Cullom, of whom he spoke as the father of interstate commerce legislation and to Mr. Nelson, the author of the bill presented to the last congress. The senator then outlined the bill, pointing out wherein it amends the existing interstate law, saying that, after all, the changes were comparatively few. Of undermining the law the bill fortifies it," he said, and he declared that if the present law had been treated with the reverence and sanctity it deserved the American people would have approached the subject in a frame of mind different from that which now presides among the large companies were unable to protect themselves against the "flagrant abuses" of the private car companies under section 1 of the present law. He had not favored the abolition of these cars, but he did believe that the car companies should be regulated by make companies employing them. Speaking of the interstate commerce commission he discussed Judge Grossep's recommendation for a specific court but he did not accept the theory advanced for the reason that he considered the commission to have all purposes. He recognized the fact that it had become fashionable to speak slightly of the interstate commission and defended that body against such attacks. He expressed the opinion that if the lawyers had dealt as fairly with the commission as with the courts the result would have been better. Mr. Dollier declared he did not expect a protracted vendetta between the railroads and the community, believing that when the law was enacted it would be observed by carrier and shipper alike. He predicted that within five years the commission in every traffic center of the country so that appears to the commission would be the rule rather than the exception. He recognized the fact that the question of appeal to the courts from the orders of the commission was the battleground for the case, which still stands it leaves the door to the court open for the protection of all constitutional rights, temporarily left that point and took up the rebate question, saying that he did not agree with the Foraker's request that the secret have been abandoned. He did not believe the Elkins bill adequate for protection against these practices. "The difficulty about rebates is not in punishing violators of the law," he said, discovering them, and we have undertaken to amend the law so as to cover that defect." Prizefighter Dies From Blow.
