M. JONES Endorsed by the Negro Republican Club of Polk County CONSTABLE Des Moines Township. Mr. Jones is the only Negro asking the suffrage of the voters at the primaries May 1, and feels that since he is the only candidate of his race, which numbers about 800 Negro voters in the city, and since he is asking for the most insignificant office on the ticket, he is entitled to the support of the entire republican party.

Republican Party do not want Colored Office Holders. tute Jefferson City, Mo., also send application and constitution of your Antonio, Texas, April 20, a joint invitation has been issued and wide distributed. The invitation carr It has often been said lately that the Republican party, at least the men who now control the party, colored men do not want honorable lucrative positions. They are like the unions, only wish to use him as a tool or instrument to vote for them or accomplish something for their success, until that is done they appear to be very kind to you and shake your hand, but as soon as you have helped them into office they soon forget the promises they have made to you, in fact they say let the Negro go. He is a republican anyhow and we will get him next time. These sugar coated falsefiers with untruthful promises and hypocrisy certainly ought to be turned out of office, and the colored voters rise to the real manhood to tell them you are going to defeat them, and do it. The party will respect you. In our recent city election two colored men were out for Market Master. The city council had the appointment of this office. The republicans said you ought to have some recognition, but there are two of your people out, (yet there were 16 white people out) so the two colored candidates got together and one dropped out which left only one candidate (colored) and 16 white. Then they could no longer find an excuse so they just selected a white man anyhow. Now colored voters do they want you in good places? Do the g. o. p. want to see you progress. If you would accept a menial place as janitor they may give you that by a hard struggle. Colored people, we could The Iowa Home Missionary Society of Congregational Churches Will begin Missionary Work in Buxton, Iowa, under the supervision of Rev. H. W. Porter of Des Moines, Iowa.

McVEY A CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE. To the republican voters and people of Polk county: I take this opportunity to formally announce my candidacy for re nomination to the office of District Judge; at the County primaries to be held May 1st. It has been, however, generally understood, as I had supposed, that I am a candidate for re-nominatioc, yet it has been persistantly reported that I would not be a candidate. I trust that this announcement will set this story at rest. Certain persons, now candidates for the same office, have made it known through letters, by verbal statements and through the public press almost daily, that they are "after McVey's place." Four years ago when I was a candidate for the first term for the office of District Judge certain of the than ten candidates for the same office made exactly the same claim for the same reason. The result at the primaries was that I carried every precinct in this city, and every precinct in the county but two. As to my party record I may say that when a mere boy I was a volunteer soldier in the Civil War. I have always voted the Republican ticket. As to my administration of the office of District Judge I am not aware that there has been any just criticism of the manner in which I have performed the duties of the office, at any rate such service as I have rendered has performed to the best of my ability. As to my qualifications for the office I feel that with the experience of twenty years of active practice of law in all the courts, prior to my elevation to the bench, and four years on the bench, that I am as well fitted, to say the least, to administer the duties of a judge in a manner satisfactory to the parties in interest and the public, as any other candidate having less opportunity and experience. The business of the courts is now in better condition than for more than twenty years, a case may now be tried at the term at which it is brought, and while I only claim a fair share of the credit for this condition the results attained I submit does not furnish a reason why I should not be re-nominated. It has been customary to accord to all officers a second term, and especially to the judges, in fact, no competent, self respecting lawyer would abandon his practice, and accept a judgeship for a single term. It is to be regretted that the office of District Judge should be forced into a political contest, and that the Judges should be made to feel that however well they perform the duties of the office they must fight for their place at the end of each term, such a condition of affairs is not conducive to the highest and best administration of Justice. I shall certainly greatly appreciate an endorsement by the people of Polk County of my candidacy for a second term. A. H. McVey. All Texas Lines Interested. As evidence of the interest taken by all Texas lines in the second annual meeting of the Northern Settlers' Association, which will convene at San Antonio, Texas, April 20, a joint invitation has been issued and widely distributed.

NOTES FROM WASHINGTON THE WEEK IN CONGRESS Complete reorganization of the coast artillery and the separate coast artillery is contemplated in a bill which Representative Hull of Iowa, chairman of the house committee on military affairs, has introduced at the request of Secretary Taft and the chief of staff, Lieutenant General Hull. A marked increase in the size of coast artillery is provided for in the bill. The number of artillery men is about 14,000, and the bill provides that it may be increased to 19,147. Provision is also made for additional special grades among the enlisted men, and for increased pay for eleven years. The connection with coast defense work. Much troubles is experienced in securing mechanics and other skilled privates required by the coast artillery and consequently the portion of the men of this class regimented to men of this class regimented to war department as one of its most important features. Negotiations are now going on among house and senate republican leaders looking toward compromise on the four great questions of legislation before congress, railroad rates, statehood, Philippine tariff and ship subsidy. Pending propositions are: To pass the rate bill with a rather broad court review amendment. To pass the amendment with the Foraker amendment affecting Arizona and New Mexico, requiring an election on statehood at the time of the general election in each territory. To permit the Philippine tariff bill to come out of the committee and take its chances on the senate floor. To pass the ship subsidy bill as it passed the senate and is pending in the house. Three of these propositions have come from the house side. The ship subsidy proposition emanates from the senate. Much doubt is felt that the proposed compromise can be reached, chiefly because of the strong opposition to the ship subsidy measure in the senate and because the compromise programme as outlined is decidedly in favor of the senate, which would give little in return for insuring the passage of the subsidy measure. Representative Conner has been appointed head of the subcommittee of the house public buildings committees to investigate the proposition that the government shall accept the gift of the House in Philadelphia while Betsy Ross made the first American flag in revolutionary days, the government to agree to maintain the property. Representatives hepburn gave out an interview at the White house to the effect that he believed that the senate would ultimately pass the rate bill as passed by the house, without a review amendment. He considered that the senate would be institutional, and thinner that nothing is to be gained by a court review amendment. He thinks that after threshing over the situation for some time the senate will finally pass an unanimous vote on the amendments that are now being offered in the senate are not being put forward in good faith, their chief aim being to make the bill unconstitutional. He has not this criticism for the court review amendment for recently introduced by Senator Long. Eastern newspapers are making much of the fact that the rate contest in the senate has become a stringgle between one force led by Ailson, and another led by Aldrich. The Washington Times says: "We want to let him put his forty years of experience, his prestige and dean of the senate, his power as head of its most potent committee, his skill as a manager of legislation, his tact in handling men and situations and the genuine affection of his associates for him against the skill and accomplishments of the senator from Rhode Island, and the administration leader. It is going to be from this time forth a test of Allison mettle against that of Aldrich." Two Irish farmers who had not seen each other for a long time met at a fair.

Washington, March 30—House The house today passed the legislative, executive and judicial appropriation bill carrying $30,000,000, after considering the measure two weeks. The team of today's presidents, the elimination of the age limit of clerks, provision which created much discussion and which incited the fight against the bill. The bill as passed carries nearly $700,000 less than the last appropriation bill for similar purposes. House—This being war claim day in the house, only those directly interested in legislation on the private calendar were in attendance. The house during the four hours it was in session considered and passed 79 bills, many, however, scading the particular role to the court of claims for adjudication. Washington, April 2—Senate The amendment to the house railroad rate bill, agreed upon at the White house on Saturday by friends of the bill, providing for a limited court review of orders of the interstate commerce commission by Mr. Long of Kansas, but he was not able to get the floor to make his speech on the bill. House—Chief among the measures passed by the house today was the so-called "personal liability bill," which has been favored by the army of railway employees throughout the country, and which had practically a unanimous report of the bill showed great interest in the measure and had a division been called for, the bill would have had an almost unanimous vote. Another measure changing ex- isting laws which excited a filibuster- ing opposition was the bill permitting the fortification of sweet wines and levying a tax of cents cents on wines. A number of bills bills were passed under suspension of the bill. Washington, April 2 — Senate- Mr. Long of Kansas today spoke at length in the senate in support of the house railroad rate bill, and his speech was taken advantage of by a number of senators to make a statement of their agreement in reference at the White house, in which the Long amendment was considered, if not originated. The controversy was participated in by Messrs. Foraker, Allison, Aldrich, Bailey and Bacon. Mr. Long assumed complete responsibility for the proceedings and Mr. Allison declined to divulge the proceedings of the conference. House-By a vote of 202 to 26 the house today passed the national quarantine bill. The bill places the control of all quarantine stations, grounds and anchors under the secretary of the treasury and the governor, and after the approval of the act he shall select and designate such suitable places for them and establish the same at such points on or near the sea coast of the United States and the Mexican border, as in his judgment are best suited to the order to pre-vent the introduction of yellow fever into the United States. Washington, April 4. 4—Senate—in the senate today Mr. Newlands discussed the railroad rate bill and Mr. Daniel the question of the lack of representation for public service. Mr. Newlands advocated amendments to the rate bill providing for the national incorporation of railroads and announced himself as favorable to the governmental ownership of those railroads based on provision in the urgent deficiency appropriation bill for the representation of the United States at the next pan-American congress to be held in Rio Janeiro next July. Mr. Newlands did not contemplate representation of the south or the far west, and then entered upon a general consideration of southern participation in public affairs, contending that political differences should not be permitted such participation on a broader scale. House-The house during its session today listened to a criticism of the president on the part of Mr. Fitzgerald of New York, for the failure of the chief executive to address the objections he had to the bill spending 505,000 acres of land for grazing purposes in Oklahoma territory, instead of advising the members of the Indian affairs committee as to the weakness of the measure so that might be amended to meet the requirements of the commissioner of Indian affairs. Washington, April 5—Senate-Several on the rate bill were made. Replying to comments on the White house conference, Senator Dollyiver assented to the commissioner's request with presidents of rail roads. Senators Foraker and Bailey demanded the names, but the Iowa senator declined to give them. Considerable feeing was shown, but the Iowa senator declined over and over good feeling established. House—The postoffice appropriation bill following an immemorial custom was made the vehicle for a number of speeches today having no discussion, but of general interest to the country. The rights of labor were discussed by Mr. Towne of New York; good roads by Mr. Lee of Georgia; railway mail pay by Mr. Steinerer of Minnesota; and protective tariff by Mr. Rainey of Illinois.

The published statements of a number of coffee importers and roasters indicate a "waspy" feeling towards us for daring to say that coffee is harmful to a percentage of the people. A frank public discussion of the subject is quite agreeable to us and can certainly do no harm; on the contrary when all the facts on both sides of any question are spread before the people they can thereupon decide and act intelligently. Give the people plain facts and they will take care of themselves. We demand facts in this coffee discussion and propose to see that the facts are brought clearly before the people. A number of coffee importers and roasters have joined a movement to boom coffee and stop the use of Postum Food Coffee and in their newspaper statements undertake to deceive by false assertions. Their first is that coffee is not harmful. We assert that one in every three coffee users has some form of incipient or chronic disease; realize for one moment what a terrible menace to a nation of civilized people, when one kind of beverage cripples the energies and health of one-third the people who use it. We make the assertion advisedly and suggest that the reader secure his own proof by personal inquiry among coffee users. Ask your coffee drinking friends if they keep free from any sort of aches and ails. You will be startled at the percentage and will very naturally seek to place the cause of disorder on another side from food, whether food, inherited tendencies or something else. Go deceive in your search for facts. If your friend admits occasional neuralgia, rheumatism, heart, weakness, stomach or bowel trouble, kidney complaint, weak eyes or approaching nervous prostration induce him or her to make the experiment of leaving off coffee for 10 days and using Postum Food Coffee, and observe the result. It will startle you and give your friend something to think of. Of course, if the person is one of the weak ones THE WHOLE LOT If we don't head prevention, we will need a cure.

That grand old bird. the stork, has been unusually generous to Mrs. Charles Joy, of Canton, Illinois.

The overjoyed father purchases nursing-bottles by the dozen. and says "I can't quit" you will have discovered one of the slaves of the coffee importer. Treat such kindly, for they seem absolutely powerless to stop the gradual but sure destruction of body and health. Nature has a way of destroying a part of people to make room for the stronger. It is the old law of "the survival of the fittest" at work, and the victims are many. We repeat the assertion that coffee does harm many people, not all, but an army large enough to appeal the investigator and searcher for facts. The next prevarication of the coffee importers and roasters is the 'r' statement that Postum Food Coffee is made of roasted peas, beans or corn, and mixed with a low grade of coffee and the equivalent of a requirement. We have previously offered to wager $100,000.00 with them that their statements are absolutely false. They have not accepted our wager and they will not. We will gladly make a present of $25,000.00 to any roaster or importer of old-fashioned coffee who will accept that waser. Free inspection of our factories and methods is made by thousands of people each month and the coffee importers themselves are cordially invited. Both Postum and Grape-Nuts are absolutely pure and made exactly as stated. The formula of Postum and the analysis made by one of the foremost chemists of Boston has been printed on every package for many years and is absolutely accurate. Now as to the food value of Postum. It contains the parts of the wheat berry which carry the elemental salts, such as lime, iron, potash, silica, etc., used by the life forces to rebuild the cellular tissue, and this is particularly true of the phosphate of potash, also found in Graps-Nuts, which combines in cream body with all the this combination, together with water, rebuilds the worn-out-grain matter in the delicate nerve centers all over the body and throughout the brain and solar nexus. Ordinary coffee stimulates in an unnatural way, but with many people it slowly and surely destroys and does not rebuild this gray substance so vitally important to the well being of every human being. These are eternal facts, proven, well authenticated and known to every properly educated physician, chemist and food expert. Unless a man has faith in his work he will not work faithfully. Curate (who is going to describe his little holiday in love) Lucerne) — he will call you 'huddes and gentlemen,' since I know you too well."—Punch. The camel is the only animal that cannot swim. It is an extraordinary fact, that the moment it loses its footing in a stream, it turns on its side, and makes no effort to save itself from drowning. A monkey in the zoological gardens of Breslau was operated on for cataract. In about a month, the operation having proved a success, the animal was fitted with a pair of spectacles, and regularly wears them. A teamster in Oakland, Cal. was arrested for driving a lame horse. He said his employer was trying to cure the animal by Christian Science, and had ordered him to remove a poultice from the horse's legs. A plous little boy in Corocordia, Kan, recently closed his evening prayer with these words: "God bless papa and mama, also the animals. They are more important than us, 'cause their skins are worth two dollars apiece." Doctor Fastenrach, a Zurich professor, has succeeded in quencing over the laws of the Lake Leucerne. When they see him wading in the lake, they hasten to him, and cut out of his hand, and permit him to lift them out of the water. Please remember we never say ordinary coffee hurts everyone. Some people use it regularly and seem strong enough to withstand its attacks, but there is misery and disease in store for the man or woman who persists in its use when nature protests, by heart weakness, stomach and bowel troubles, kidney disease, weak eyes or general nervous prostration. The remedy is obvious. The drug caffeine, contained in all ordinary coffee, must be discontinued absolutely or the disease will continue in spite of any medicine and will grow worse. It is easy to leave off the old-fashioned coffee by adopting Postum Food Coffee. In it one finds a pleasing but breakfastable orange that has the deep seal brown color and has the rich golden brown when good cream is added. When boiled long enough (15 minutes) the flavor is not that of rank Rio coffee but very like the milder, smooth and high-grade Java, but entirely lacking the drug effect of ordinary coffee. Anyone suffering from disorders set up by coffee drinking (and there is an extensive variety) can absolutely depend upon some measure of relief by quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee. If the disease has not become too strongly rooted, one can with good reason expect it to disappear entirely in a reasonable time after the acute cause of the trouble is removed and the cellular tissue has time to naturally rebuild with the elements furnished by Postum and good food. It's only just plain old common sense. Now, with the exact facts before the reader, he or she can decide the wise course, looking to health and the power to do things. If you have any doubt as to the cause of any ache or all you may have, remember that a hurt nervous system travel from heel to head, and it may be well worth your while to make the experiment of leaving off coffee entirely for ten days and using Postum in its place. You will probably gather some good solid facts, worth more than a gold mine, for health can make gold and sickness lose it. Besides there's all the fun, for like a continuous inerture to be placed well. There's a reason for it.

A mark: ed increase In the slzo of coast ar- tillery Is provided for in tho ill. Tue number of men in that branch Is about 14,000, and the bill provides that It may be fncreased to 19,147. Provision Is also made for additional special grades among tho enlisted men, and for increased pay for elec: trlelans ond other skilled men con- nected with coast defense work. Much trouble {5 experienced {n secur Ing mechanics and other skilled pri vates required by the coast artillery and consequently the portion of the bill offering spcolal inducements to men of this class 1s regarded by te war department as ono of its most Important features, Negotiations are now going om among house and senate republican leaders looking toward compromise on tke four great questions of legis: latin before congress, rallroad rates, statehood, Philippine ‘tari and_ ship subsidy. “Pending propositions are: To pass the rate bill with a rather broai court review amendment. ‘To pasa the statehood bill with tho Foraker amendment affecting Arizona and New Mexico, requiring an_olec- tloa on statohecd at the time of tho general election In each territory. ‘To permit the Philippine tariff bi to come out of the committes and take its chances on the senate floor. | To enact the ship subsidy bill as it passed the senate and 1s pending ‘in the house, ‘Three of these propositions have come from the house side. ‘Tho ship sabsidy proposition emanates from the senate. Much doubt 1s felt that ‘the proposed compromise can bo Feached, chlefty because of the strong ‘opposition to the ship subsidy mea- sure in the house, and because tho compromise programme as outlined fs decidedly in favor of the senate, whlch would give little in return tor Insuring the passage of tho subsidy measure. .

He’ considers the bill, as it left the house, const tutional, and thiny that nothing is to be galned by a court review amend: ment.
