LOYALTY, UNITY AND PURITY Race loyalty, race unity and race purity are today the three greatest needs. Indeed this is an age of trials and temptations. Our race is being tried, ridiculed, killed, murdered and used more as a tool for some one else than ever before. We need race loyalty to be respected, if we are not loyal to one another how can we expect other races to be loyal to us, or how can we be true to ourselves. Race unity, in the name of God how can we ever accomplish much for ourselves or race when we are divided. Unity of purpose, unity of action. In union there is strength. Oh what a power we would wield if only we would work together in union, harmony and peace. Race purity, the morals of our race is ebbing very low, and we are not doing anything to change the tide. In fact many of us are sitting idly by, and young men and girls go to ruin. We sometimes help it on and never cry out against it. We must correct the immoral conduct of our race; no one else can do it for us. Let every minister, teacher and public man in every community denounce these wrong things and see that it is stopped. These things are doingus more harm than any other one thing. Let us think and act well our part. There all the trouble lies. CUMMINS FOR GOVERNOR It is indeed a pleasure as well as a pride for the Bystander to be permitted to announce in another part of this paper the name of Iowa's honored son and distinguished statesman, Hon. Albert B. Cummins, present Governor, who has kindly yielded to the wishes of his many friends to become a candidate again for Governor. Not for the mere fact of being governor for another term, but to maintain the principles that he has been struggling to establish in Iowa; namely: to regulate corporate and railroad interest from control of our state and county politics, to re-establish the people in power again, to see that no corporations receive special privileges, but all must share the burdens equally alike, to abolish the abusive railroad pass system, to adjust the tariff rate, to regulate the railroad rate charges and to establish a state wide primary election. In short he stands for the people, with the people and of the people. He has made the best governor that Iowa has had. Able, fearless, honest, eloquent, scholarly and courageous to do his duty, as ever true public servant should do. America has heard this eloquent son of Iowa, and like the citizens will so do will honor him with greater trust and duties in national affairs. TUSKEGEE QUARTER CENTURY ANNIVERSARY On last Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday the great industrial school of Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee celebrated her silver jubilee—she has reached her quarter of century mark. It was a great week for Tuskegee. In another part of the paper we give a brief synopsis of the program. On this occasion were some of the greatest scholars and most distinguished educators, both colored and white in America, and some of the wealthiest men of America. This meeting means a great deal to the personal worth and earnest labors of Prof. Washington. For twenty-five years he struggled to make Tuskegee what it is; for twenty-five years he has sit as president of this school—he has seen it grow from 30 pupils, a one room log cabin with only 1 teacher, until now he has 86 buildings, all frame and brick, over 100 teachers and officers with 2,300 acres of good land 900 in cultivation, with an enrollment now of 1,500 students from all parts of the world. M. H. ALBERT B. CUMMINS FOR GOVERNOR. umns of Negro progress and more eloquently then pen or tongue. May this noble race educator live another quarter century to bless and elevate humanity still more. DOWIE AND HIS ENEMIES John Alexander Dowie, the self-styled first prophet, who has in this late age astonished the world by his doctrine and has built up Zion City near Chicago, Ill., is about to be deposed by his own wife and chosen overseer, Voliva. Dowie has just hasten back from his Mexican tour to face his accusers and to re-establish his prophetic authority. We do not care to take sides, yet we are inclined to think it unwise to try to destroy the very father and founder of this sect, because of petty jealousy or personal hatred. Those people remind us of the colored race, they are jealous of the success of one another. There are always some colored people in the community ready to depose or tear down the good you may be doing. ALBERT B. CUMMIN The above cut is a true likeness of Hon. Albert B. Cummins of Des Moines, who is a candidate for governor to succeed himself. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1850; he was born of poor parentage. Young Cummins struggled hard to receive a common public school education. He learned the carpenters' trade, which profession he followed awhile, later he worked on the railroad and finally he entered the Waynesburg University where he graduated. Mr. Cummins came to Iowa in 1869 and entered the practice of law and soon won honors as a lawyer. By his honesty, strictness to business, and thoroughness with which his trained legal JUDGE. Among the candidates for office whose names are appearing upon the Republican primary ticket we desire to call particular attention to that of Charles S. Bradshaw, who is a candidate for district judge and whose candidacy seems to meet with great popular favor. Mr. Bradshaw was born in Tama County, Iowa where his father has been one of the leading lawyers for over forty years. He came to Des Moines several years ago and entered the Law Department of Drake University where he graduated with the highest honors. He immediately began the practice of law in Des Moines and has lived here ever since. While yet comparatively a young man, Mr. Bradshaw has achieved a reputation as one of our best trial lawyers. He has been a member of the well-known firm of Kinne, Hune & Bradshaw, and later Kinne & Bradshaw, his partner being the late Judge L. G. Kinne of the "State Board of Control," and Justice of the Supreme Court. While numbering among his clients many of the best business men of the city of Des Moines, he has the reputation of being always willing to flight the battle of the poor and many of our people can testify to assistance of this nature received at his hands. It is said of him that he has never been known to turn away a client because he was too poor to pay large fees. He has long been an active Republican worker, never before asked for or held any office. In our judgment if nominated and elected, he will make an excellent judge. He is broad minded, and is sure to give all classes of people absolute justice and fair treatment. He merits your support. MT. PLEASANT NOTES. Mrs. T. L. Burnett has been quiet ill for the past two weeks, as this writing her condition is somewhat improved. Protected meetings are being held at the Second Baptist church. The Presiding Eider's committee will give a pink tea at the A. M. E. church Thursday night. The Easter services at the A. M. E. church will be morning service at eleven a.m. sermon by Rev. Christbergh at three p. m. Easter programme by the Sunday School, 7:30 Christian Endeavor at 8:00 o'clock song service by choir. An Easter programme will be given by the Second Baptist Sunday School on Sun NS FOR GOVERNOR. mind mastered each case soon won for him the leadership of the Polk county bar and even the state bar. He was elected to the legislature and was a candidate for United States Senator in 1899, in that memorable fight against Senator John H. Gear, and only lacked two votes of being nominated. In 1900 he was nominated governor at Cedar Rapids and was elected by a larger majority than any of his predecessors. He is the father of the Iowa idea and stands for the progressive idea on public affairs. He is a true exponent of the Roosevelt idea in its fullest meaning and we predict he will become his successor. He merits your earnest support for governor of Iowa. day afternoon. Mrs. Celia Pool left Saturday for a visit to Salem and Ft. Madison. The I. K. S. club met Thursday evening at the home of Miss Carrie McCreeken. The following officers were elected; President, Miss Carry McCrecken; Vice President, Lydia F. B. Fartlett; Secretary and T treasure, Ruth Granddson; Chaplain, Ione Mason; Critio Mason, Susan Granddson. The reports of the officers show that although the club ed not entertain extensively during the winter, their work along literary lines have been greater than it has been for sometime. The Home Culture Club met Thursday afternoon with Mrs. Rena Logan. afternoon with Mrs. Bena Logan, Mr. and Mrs. Jackson who are visiting at the home of Mr. M. Mosley, have both been on the sick list for the past week. CLINTON BRIEFS. Easter will be observed in appropriate manner at Bethel A. M. E church at the evening service a musical programme will be rendered under the personal direction of Miss Estella Bush. Wm. Riggs a former Clinton boy is in the city this week for the past few months he has made his home in Batavia, Ill. but Price, Five Cents. we are informed he still has a high regard for Clinton and may again make this city home. Mr. and Mrs. Hall and Williams are now nicely located in there own home recently purchased on Third Avenue. J. M. Hancock was in Chicago last week on business. On Monday evening a concert will be given at Bethel A. M. E. church under auspices of the Y. P. S. C. E. The revival which has been going on for the past three weeks, will come to a close the last of this week. For the first time in years Clinton experienced a decidedly dry Sunday. The new Mayor having fastened the lid on tight by prohibiting the sale of liquors in any form. Allison machines have been made to go and the city council considered favorably this week the matter of a high license ordinance. Clinton now seems to be on the verge of a season of reform to what extent we cannot say. DEFORD FOR SUPERVISOR. The above cut is the likeness of L. H. DeFord, the present County Supervisor from the Fifth district, who lives near Valley Junction. Mr. DeFord is one of our Polk county boys; having been born in this county in 1851 and his entire life has been spent on the farm in Walnut township, and has made a success of his own occupation. He has been a member of our county board for three terms, and his record has been very creditable to the county and tax payers of his district. He is now chairman of the board and is one of the best known men in the county for honesty, integrity and hard work. He was a member of the board when the new court house was started, and knows every detail of the building since it has been in construction, and as it is nearing completion, it is very essential that the same board should remain until it is completed, because they can render better service by their past experience. Mr. DeFord has always been a hard working republican and has never held any office before in his life, and his friends think he should serve one term longer. YANKTON ITEMS Who said that old man Winter Jad taken Miss Spring's place? Why it was 84 degree in the shade Friday, now what? Rev. Jas. Washington arrived Saturday to conduct his regular fortnightly services here on Sunday. Mrs. Judy Askew returned to Sioux City last week. She took her little grandchild Helen Dowdy with her. Mr. Banter was able to attend church Sunday. Louis A. Smith returned Friday after a four months visit to his farmland up in Bonestee. He says things were never in a better condition, especially the soil. He has planted some bale, however and expects to return in a few weeks to plant corn. Didn't know that Louise was a first class farmer. The Wiling Workers met in its regular weekly session. Thursday at the home of the Dowdy's Dowdy, Miss Bydie E. Dowdy as hostess was ably assisted in serving luncheon by Miss Priscilla B. Stokes. H. O. Robinson is reported quite spok. Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Patterson have left Yankton to make their future home at Tydual. S. D. Another member in the peron of Mr. D. Bridge no., has admired his name to the list of Sunday School scholars. It all the members were regular attendants we would always have a crowded Sunday School, but I regret to state that this is not the case. Mrs. Eliza Stokes was a little under the weather bunday, nothing serious however. Misses Arabella and Byrdie Dowdy so-compiled by their brother Clinton departed Wednesday morsang for Sioux City to attend the wedding of Mr. M. Akew, who is to be married there that evening to Miss Anne MaceLee. Geo. Blind who has been under the doctor's care for several weeks is said to be still in a serious condition.

IOWA CITY NOTES The spring vacation of the University this year will be from the 11, to 17 inst., and as Easter will be next Sunday a number of the students will go home. Since the weather has been warm at the athletic field, every afternoon you will see a number of candidates trying for places on the track and base-ball teams. The first game of the season will be next Wednesday against the Davenport league team. Cora Brown who has been in Fruitville, Cal., for about a year returned home last week. Mrs Catherine Bell is now convalescent after an illness of several weeks, her daughter Mrs. Josephine Kelley came up from Davenport last week to assist in caring for her inasmuch as her other daughter Mrs Elizabeth who lives with her is subject to rheumatic illness. The Afro-American Union Club had a very interesting meeting last Tuesday-night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Patterson. There were some remarks made by the following gentlemen who were visitors, E. W. Thompson, Edward Carter, Wesley Thompson and Lawrence. Jones Mr. Patterson then furnished the club with music, J. B. Brown and Thomas McDavain made a few responsive remarks to the visitors after which Mrs. Mae Patterson, Mattie Dameron and Samuel Patterson served a three course supper, after which games were played. The club adjourned until next Tuesday evening, when they will meet at Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Patterson. A programme will be given at the A. M. E. church Sunday evening in observance of Easter the Sunday School children will furnish most of the talent. Miss Ora Brown has been confined to her room for more than two weeks with an attack pneumonia. She is better at this writing. The paramount question is just now what are you going to wear next Sunday? I dare say if the weather is good on that day all the colors of the rainbow will be displayed the enn is hid behind the horizon and we would suggest it might be well to remember the old adage, never mind if your clothes are ragged and torn fix them up make them do it is better by far than to go in debt for the new. Ellie Mason was among the sick last week. Editor of the Bystander; I note in your issue of Friday the 6th, a very timely editorial met the attitude of the republican party and the Negro and I desire to hereby express my hearty endorsement of the same and to add the suggestion that it is time that the Negro voters of Polk County begin to consider seriously the situation, to stop their fighting of one another and come together and put up and support candidates of their own race, not only with their votes but with all the influence it is possible for them to bring to bear upon their friends among both races. We have a Negro candidate for constable Ira M. Jones, and if all the Negroes in the township regardless of sect or creed will only take a little interest in the matter and try to interest their friends of both races in it. Let us do this and thereby nominate and elect our own candidate for it is useless for us to expect members of the other race to do for us what we are not willing to do for ourselves. Very truly yours, A. Joe Brown BELLINGHAM, WASHINGTON. Rev. T. Smith is able to be out again after being confined to his home for a few days. F. Olden is on the sick list. Mr. Nelson of Seattle, Wash.. has bought an interest in the restaurant conducted by John Gullard and he expects to locate here. The Literary society met Monday evening at the Baptist church and a very interesting programme was rendered. The colored people are showing great progress in Beihang in this spring. Mr. and Mrs. Clay have purchased a home and Mr. Bryant will improve his home in the near future. Mr. and Mrs. Will Riddle have moved to 202 Onio street. They are contemplating on buying soon. Mrs. T. Cate has just completed a very fine piece of tapestry, it was taken from a painting of U. S. T. Taylor. Tapestry is considered a very fine branch of art and very little is known about it in this country it is better known in Europe. Mrs. Wm. Riddle has finished a very beautiful piece of scenery. Miss Mildred tidwin has succeeded so well in her painting until she is able to ruel one of her pieces. Mr. and Mrs. Cate entertained Mr. and Mr. and Mrs. Riddle at dinner. mrs. and Mrs. Middleton at dinner. Mesdames Wim. Kiddle and W. H. Aldwin spent the Monday afternoon with Mrs. N. Smith. Mrs. G. H. Williams had a very narrow escape at the hair parlor, as the carbin gas machine expoiled and broke the plate glass for blossom around and blew in the front of the store. There are always two parties to a contract, and yet in a majority of cases but one is expected to carry it out. Bystander Pub. Co. DES MOINES, IOWA The great American question now: Yes, but can he hit the ball? Madame Kubelik says she loves that dear America. Oh, fiddlesticks! Freiheit, Herr Most's anarchist paper, will be allowed to die with him, No flowers. We understand that Congressman Longworth says that Mrs. Longworth's angel cake is fine. "If Youth But Knew" is the title of a new novel. Is there anything that Youth doesn't know? A New York woman's club leader says "kissing is overdone." Same thing occurred to Hobson. The first step in making a market for dogfish as an article of cheap food is to give the fish a new name. New York is going to erect a statue to Joseph Jefferson—at the expense of the rest of the country, as usual. The Rockefeller family is pretty much like the rest of us, after all. It's three generations from cradle to wig. A Japanese inventor has produced the wireless telephone. If it will carry Japanese it surely ought to carry English. Those pessimists who find "cussedness" everywhere ought not to be surprised; they don't look for anything else. Thirteen thousand miles of new railroad are under construction in this country—and there's nothing unlucky about that! Maxim Gorky is coming to America. But this is not surprising. The only wonder is that any of them will remain in Russia. A horse at Bennings was beaten by Hocus Pocus. The only remarkable thing about it is that this time Hocus Pocus was a horse. A bank cashier has gone wrong in Pennsylvania. It would be a relief to hear of something that has not gone wrong in Pennsylvania. That powdered milk which a Cornell professor is making is prepared for use, like the old-fashioned kind of city milk, by adding water. If a man can get $10,000 damages for being hit by a baseball that will be no incentive to him to wear a warden while watching a game. Talk about mean men! We know one who, because his wife is learning to cook, has ordered the doctor to call every night after dinner. The simplicity of the people who be lieve that the simplified spelling idea will be generally accepted right away is beautiful to contemplate. It is asserted by a well-known lawyer that women are responsible for 80 per cent of the divorces—the other women, he means, no doubt. If President Castro would only whistle instead of keeping so deathly still, we might feel more confident that he isn't hatching some new mischief. The man who paid $6,000 for an orchid at a London auction made a strong bid for fame, but the correspondent failed to say who he was. Possibly the indifference of the American people in the matter of saving Niagara falls arises from the serene conviction that they can't lose them. When the courts have decided whether phonographs are "music" they should try to classify the kind of sounds emitted by the average upright piano. William Banks of Simpson, Wayne county, Penn., has a calf with only two legs, and he doesn't care very much whether the circus comes around this spring or not. When one considers the few laughs that come between all the cries, there would seem to be ample warrant for the conclusion that life is not much more than a big scare. Mr. Schwab, the steel king, is building for himself a palatial residence at Bull Frog, Nevada. It is believed he expects to jump from there into the United States senate. "A harsh voice must always be viewed as a misfortune." Think of this the next time the uncultivated collector comes in and asks you when you are going to pay that bill. An account of the marriage of Ramesses II and a hittite princess in Egypt several years ago has just been up. It is a safe bet that it does not report the bridegroom as being attired in the conventional black. There is a fashion article concerning new garments for dogs. While so many human forms go ragged, robing a dog seems to be no concern to the true human heart. And there never was a dog that enjoyed it. Behold the sad, downcast look of the fashion clad dog. The minister in Oakland who cursed a woman because she would not contribute $1 to his mission fund, contributed $5 in next day to help on the good work of the Anti-Swearing Association. In the Bavarian city of Munich the streets are cleaned by women. "They are kept in such humble places, well maintained, and a constant source of surprise and delight to visitors," says the Cleveland Leader. This custom, however, will hardly be adopted over here. ```markdown ``` SMITH SECURES SHORT RESPITE Governor Cummins Adds Six Hours to Life of Doomed Man HANGING WILL LIKELY OCCUR Change in Time of Execution to Noon—First Legal Hanging in Iowa in Ten Years Will Occur April 20—Buse Case Pending. Des Moines, April 12.—The time for the execution of Joseph C. Smith for murder has been extended from 6 o'clock in the morning until noon of April 1. A proclamation to this effect was entered by Governor Cummins yesterday. It is understood that Warden James of the penitentiary at Fort Madison suggested that it would be well to postpone the time for the hanging until high noon. However, it is the place in all persons to have the execution with the rising sun. Smith is said to be more or less unconcerned because of the proximity of his execution. Many persons who are familiar with the case have expressed the belief that Smith had been abandoned by the woman whom he killed and had been taunted about his misfortune, and that on account of this and not on account of jealousy did not commit the crime. The governor's proclamation with respect to the Smith execution issued yesterday follows: "Whereas, I, Albert B. Cummins, governor of the state of Iowa, did on the 13th day of September, 1905, enter an order fixing and designating Friday, April 11, A. D. 1906, as the governor of the forearm on at which the sentence of death of the district court of Iowa in and for Monroe county, pronounced upon Joseph C. Smith, convicted of murder in the first degree, should be executed; now, therefore, I hereby change the said sentence, that the sentence of the said court, instead of being executed at 6 o'clock in the foremoon of the said 20th day of April, A. D. 1906, shall be executed at 12 o'clock noon on the 20th day of April, A. D. 1906. In all other respects the order herefore therefore stands waived with objection. The case of Louis Buse is pending in the courts. He was to have hanged a week from tomorrow, but the attorneys for him have appealed to the courts to test the validity of his indictment, a question which will be heard in the court, and his execution will be delayed until the decision. ABANDON BREWERY PLAN. Legislative Action Knocks Out Proposed Brewery at Des Moines. Des Moines, April 13.—Frank P. Mattees announced yesterday positively, that the brewery project for Des Moines has been abandoned. The act of the legislature in requiring that a renewal of the petition of consent must be obtained every five years made the enterprise too large, and the enactment of a large amount of capital. "We have considered the matter carefully since the bill was passed," he said, "and when we consider the difficulty we had in getting the petition through the council and courts with its not over large majority, so its not much inducement to build." CALLS ON IOWA'S ATTORNEY GENERAL Washington, April 10—Senator Daniel yesterday had put into the congressional record a letter from R. S. Waddell, president of a Pecoria, Illinois company, from G. M. Peters, president of the King Powder company, which denied that the latter concern is in a "trust." Mr. Waddell gave numerous incidents of powder deals which he handled in violation of a "trust and closed as follows. "I now urgently call upon the attorney general's of the United States and of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, and Kansas, where the 'trust' is operating mills to afford these parties an opportunity to evapate before the courts or secret evapation of mind to vindicate themselves from the specific charges I make by disclosing the truth or pay the penalty for wilful infraction of the laws of the states and nation. I pledge myself to furnish all and more proofs that are necessary to determine the cases. I agree to voluntarily bind and to the memory of Mr. Peters, the attorney general, hundreds of other acts wherein they knowingly and wilfully have and are now levying extortions on the people and government in defiance of law." CALLED DIVORCE A NECESSARY EVIL Council Bluffs, April 11—The pastor's association of this city has for the second time voted down resolutions pledging the members to marry no divorce. The proposition came up first two weeks ago. Rev. H. W. Starr of St. Paul's Episcopal church advocated it and said he had turned down three couples in one month other ministers took occasion to differ with him, some claiming that divorce was a necessary evil and others even that it was a positive good to society. When the matter came up again past week, it was again laid out. The pastor appointed a committee to draw up substitute resolutions of a moderate character, and these will probably be adopted. No Double Track for Iowa Central. Dubuque April 13—Burroughs F. B. Harriman of the Illinois Central has officially denied the many reports that have appeared concerning the intentions of the company to double track its line from Chicago to St. Dodge. Mr. Harriman says dogs have never been considered. Des Moines, April 10—Mr. and Mrs. Clyde Harvey, who were given three years for burning their hotel in Glidden, Aug. 6, 1904, in which the Hobbs brothers met death, were given a new trial by the supreme court yesterday. The court says that it was proper to admit the testimony of a woman when she saw Mrs. Hattie Harvey, a few minutes after the fire was discovered, the woman's hair was done up perfectly and not a stray strand floated even about her fevered temples as she stood by her husbands' flames lick up their property and with it the lives of their two boarders. The court says that the state could not seriously and did not charge that the fire was set to cover a more heinous crime for the watches and many colons and valuables were found in the house. The Hobbs brothers after the rulers and wreck of the hotel were cooled. Jury Powers, in instructing the jury at Carroll, told it that it must find that the defendants or one of them had committed the crime der to find them guilty. The defendants relied on that "or one of them." It is a rule that when persons are jointly asked for a crime which may be committed by one or more of the other the court may not say that both shall be convicted or cleared; each has the right to have his individual guilt passed upon by the jury. The jury must be convinced and the Harvets get their new trial. SHAW IS TURNED DOWN. Man Who Tested Soldiers' Preference Law Fails To Get Benefit.

Huber, late democratic candidate for alderman-at-large, until it jed him to file a saloon injunction suit against Bert Larsen, proprietor of a well known bar, to reimburse himself for campaign activity he attributes to the latter in swinging the Danish vote of the city against Huber.

Zion City, IL, April 9—Thousands of Zionites westerly heard their former leader John Alexander Dowle, denounced from the pulpit in Shiloh tabernacle, and they approved the denunciation and signified their willingness to follow General Overseer Glenn Volvla, Zion's new leader, who told of Dowle's alleged misdeeds in bitter and scathing words of denunciation, eliciting enthusiastic approval of his listeners. After denouncing Dowle as a spendthrift, liar and traitor, Volvla demanded a decision of the audience as to who should be their future leader, and the 6,000 persons in the tabernacle rose as one person and signified their willingness to follow Volvla. Volvla then told the vast audience of the "deplorable" conditions he found at Zion City when he arrived here a month ago from Australia and took up the management of Zion. He also met the man who migrated to America as "merchant of John Alexander." When Voliva in angry tones exclaimed, "I will see that all the costly furniture and expensive library adorning Dowle's Zion City residence and which were purchased by that man," Mrs. Dowle said, "were in need of food are sold and the money turned into Zion storehouse," Mrs. Jane Dowle half arose and loudly applauded the words.

Chicago, April 6—Physical collapse of Mrs. John Alexander Dower yesterday followed rumors that the party in favor of her was being stirred that a serious conflict between the two factions in Zion City might follow the return of her husband. Friends of Mrs. Dowle say that she exprsed the belief that she was suffering from a stroke and she fell in a swoon while in her home and it was feared for a time that she had suffered a stroke of paralysis. It was reported later that she is suffering only from a severe attack. Chicago, Ill., April 11—Dr. John Alexander Dowle will not advance on the "hosts" of Zion as suddenly as he expected. Last night, after a long consultation with his legal adviser, Emil G. Cohen, he said that it might be several days before he saw fit to enter the city which he had founded. He is now considering the means by which he can legally secure control. He was met at the depot by a crowd of curious. He seemed in good spirits and was driven to the Auditorium Annex. Chicago, April 13—One of the charges that has been brought against Dowle, that to the effect that he had agreed secretly, with a commission of the Mormon church Zion and all of its vast holdings, was emphatically denied by Dowle yesterday. The only basis for this story, it was explained, was that some months ago a coterie of Mormon church Zion and all of its vast holdings distributed pamphlets expounding the doctrines of Mormonism. According to the statements of Dr. Dowle and his counselors, these men were immediately thrown out of the city. Yet yesterday upset the plans for a peaceable adjustment of his troubles with Zion church as announced Wednesday night. Yesterday he directed his attendants to announce to all inquirers that the report that he was making was true. Voliva and his followers was untrue. He said that he would conduct a legal contest in the courts and get his property back. Attorney E. Wettin, his legal acrisier, when told of his declaration, said "I can only repeat what I said last night, and that is there is a good prospect for adjustment of the troubles without recording to the courts. The situation has not changed so far as I know."

My doctor, from a family of alpias of the urine and a diagnosis of my case, had told me I could not live six weeks. I was struck down in the street with kidney trouble, and for a whole year could not leave the house. I lost flesh, my eyes failed me, I blasted at times, my back hurt and I suffered a living death. There seemed no hope until I began using Doan's Kidney Pills. Then I began to improve. The pain left gradually, the swellings subsided, I gained appetite and weight, and to make a long story short, I got well." Sold by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N. Y.

"Our baby had that dreadful complaint, Infantile Eczema, which afflicted him for several months, commencing at the top of his head, and at last covering his whole body. His sufferings were untold and miserable; in fact, there was nothing we would not have done to have given him relief. We finally procured a full set of the Cuticula Remedies, and in about three or four days he began to show a brighter spirit and really laughed, for the first time in a year. In about ninety days he was fully recovered Praise for the Cuticula Remedy always been a great pleasure, and nothing too good that we could say in their favor, for they certainly saved our baby's life, for he was the most awful sight that I ever benefited, prior to the treatment of the Cuticula Remedies.

A babu in charge of the documents of a certain town in India found that they were being seriously damaged by rats. He wrote to the government to provide him with weekly rations for two cats to destroy the rats. The request was granted, and the two cats were installed—one, the larger of the two, receiving slightly better rations than the other. All went well for a few weeks, when the supreme government of India received the following request to inform you that the senior cat is absent without leave. What shall I do?" The problem seemed to baffle the supreme government, for the babu received no answer. After waiting a few days, he sent off a proposal: "In re Absentee Cat. I propose to send the cats to the government service a probationer cat on full rations." DECAYED STARCH. A Food Problem. An Asheville man tells how right food did that which medicines had failed to accomplish "For more than 15 years," he says, "I was afflicted with stomach trouble and intestinal indigestion, gas forming in stomach and bowels and giving me great distress. These conditions were undoubtedly due to the starchy food I ate, white bread, potatoes, etc., and didn't digest. I grew worse with time, till, 2 years ago, I had an attack which the doctor diagnosed as appendicitis. When the surgeon operated on me, however, it was found that my stomach was wasted on the pancreas, instead of appendicitis. "Since that time I have had several such attacks, suffering death, almost. The last attack was about 3 months ago, and I endured untold ailones. "The doctor then said that I would have to eat less starchy stuff, so I began the use of Grape-Nuts food for I knew it to be pre-digested, and have continued same with most gratifying results. It has built me up wonderfully. I gained 10 pounds in the first 8 weeks that I used Grape-Nuts, my general health is better than ever before, my brain is clearer and my nerves stronger. "For breakfast and dinner, each, I take 4 teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts with cream, a small slice of dry toast, an egg soft boiled and a cup of Postum; and I make the evening meal on Grape-Nuts and cream alone—this gives me a good night's rest and I am well again.

SPLIT IS FEARED IN RUSSIAN PARTY Dissensions Appear among the Constitutional Democrats CAUSUS HAS BEEN CALLED Members-elect of Parliament Will Meet on May 4th—Radical Members Favor Declining To Take Oghth Until Czar Endorses Constitution. St. Petersburg, April 12.—A caucus of constitutional democratic members-elect of parliament has been called for May 4 to formulate a line of action for the party. Dissensions, however, have appeared already and a split is quite probable. The most radical members favor a plan according to which they will decline to take the prescribed oath until the emperor shall have sworn fidelity to the constitution. Mr. Kedrine, a well known St. Petersburg lawyer and a prominent constitutional democrat, believes that the opposition should immediately demand the annulment of the imperial manifesto of March 5, which gave the government a strong hold on the proceedings of parliament, as being inconsistent with the previous imperial manifesto of Oct. 30, 1905. The most practical minded members, like M. Minnaer, another constitutional democratic member for St. Petersburg, believe that the first duty of the constitutional democrats is to strengthen their position by a coalition with the peasants on the basis of an equitable settlement of the ararian questions. The social democrats and the social revolutionists and other proletariat organizations are already selecting delegates to the big congress which it has been planned to hold in Finland some time this month and at which an ultimate plan of action will be decided upon. The government is seeking to prevent the meeting of the congress by all means. The delegates are being hunted down and arrested by the police who last night arrested sixty representatives of the workmen in the factories who were holding a meeting at Narva, an industrial town of 18,000 inhabitants in the government of St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, April 12—That the result of the election has precipitated a crisis involving the immediate power of Premier Witte or Interior Minister Durnovo seems absolutely confirmed. The former spent over two hours with the emperor Monday night reviewing the situation, and pointing out how impossible it would be for the government to defend itself before a hostile petition with M. Durron, the governor of the province, is vasculating. Irrespective of his personal feelings toward the premier, he desires Count Witte to remain in power, yet he hesitates to dismiss Durron, who he praises as having saved the country from a revolution. Count Witte has seized the moment to force an issue between himself and the governor, whom he verdict of the people at the polls against the government's repressive policy, the question of the big foreign loan hangs in the balance. Count Witte realizes fully that much of the confidence in Russia's solvency among financiers abroad is due to the fact that he is at the center of the crisis, the finances of the loan vanish into thin air. The emperor's decision probably will not be officially known until the eastern honors are published. THREE CENT FARE IS KNOCKED OUT Washington, April 12.—The supreme court has decided that Mayor Tom Johnson cannot force the Cleveland Electric Street Railway company to reduce fares to 3 cents by franchise to a rival company before the franchise rights of the old company expire. The Cleveland Electric Railway company claimed its franchise gave it exclusive rights to operate street cars in Woodland avenue until 1908. The Cleveland city council in spite of the opposition of the Forest City Street Railway to build and operate a line in Woodland avenue, the company agreeing to carry passengers for 3 cents. The old company appealed to the federal court, alleging a conspiracy by the Forest City company to compel the old company to submit to 3 cent fares. The circuit court upheld the old company's position, declared the new company's franchise null and void. The supreme court of the United States has confirmed the decloison. Tver, province of Tver, Russia, April 8.-While the governor of Tver, M. Steptsoff, was passing through the principal street of the town at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon he was killed by the explosion of a bomb. Governor Steptsoff was regarded as a very reactionary official and was held in prison for assaulting the minister to the intelligence by the black hundreds last fall. The body of the governor, who was in his carriage when he was assassinated was terribly mutilated and his coachman was serious injured. The governor's body was removed to the palace. The bomb exploded with terrific force. All the windows in the neighborhood were broken. The assassin was arrested.

Elkins was frequently interrupted and several spirited colloquies marked the progress of his remarks. No senator being prepared to speak tomorrow, the senate adjourned until Monday. Washington, April 7.—House The house had indulge itself in the usual Saturday half holiday today, but continued the consideration of the postoffice appropriation bill, and in the latitude accorded under general debate the discussion took on a wide range, including railway mail pay, increased pay for rural letter carriers, increased pay for mail carriers, and corrupt use of money in elections, with sidelights on naturalization laws. Washington, April 6—Senate—Mr McLaurin and Mr. Morgan addressed the senate on the railroad rate question, the former advocating legislation and the latter opposing. The Mississippi senator announced the amendment providing for a court review of the decisions of the interstate commerce commission and also stated his adherence to the Ballay amendment prohibiting the temporary suspension of the commission's order by the senate. He criticized that he acted in effort to reject politics into the consideration of the bill. Mr. Morgan took the position that the proposed legislation was an interference with the rights of the states to control the corporations created by themselves and said that the best way to check exorbitant rates was to keep the water ways in such condition as to insure competition. House—Notwithstanding that this was district day in the house and that body resolved itself into a common council for the purpose of making a general interest was shown in the bills requiring non-resident pupils to pay tuition and regulation of the employment of child labor. Mr. Hephburn of Iowa, replying to a long speech of the advocates advocated self-government of the people of the District of Columbia, made a defense of the form of government but criticized its administration. Washington, April 16—Senate—Following the speech of Senator Bailey today in which he advocated his amendment for the nonsuspension of orders of the interstate commerce commission pending a review by the courts, the sentiment of the senate was that the amendment would have to be disposed of at an early date. It was suggested by Senator Aldrich that a vote could be had on this Bailey amendment without in any manner interfering with the general interest by various lawyers in the senate. House—For seven hours today the house had under consideration the postoffice appropriation bill, but in only a few instances were the provisions considered final appropriation for railway mail pay bitter words were exchanged between representatives of North Carolina, Arkansas and Kentucky, all but were within rules of the house. Washington, April 11—Senate—In the house today Mr. Aldrich expressed the opinion that the end of the general debate on the railroad bill would become apparent before the end of the present week and that then an agreement upon a day for a vote could be reached. The statement was made by Mr. Tillman for such an agreement. There was no other discussion of the rate bill during the day, owing to the fact that no senator was prepared to speak. The session was almost entirely devoted to the consideration of the conference appropriation for the final settlement of the affairs of the five civilized tribes of Indians. House—After nearly ten days of general debate with the postoffice appropilation bill as the vehicle for the discussion of the bill, Mr. Washington, house late today, reached the consideration of the bill itself, an hour having been given to the reading of the measure. Washington, April 12—Senate—After the discussion of the bill, Mr. Latmier in support of the house railroad bill, Mr. Foraker today took the floor on that measure and consumed practically all of the remainder of the day's session. He then entered the time in the discussion of some of the amendments he has suggested to the bill and then entered upon the consideration of the entire question of the bill in constitutionality of the pending bill from various points of view. House—The feature of today's proceedings in the house of representatives was the speech made by Mr. Cochran of New York, who, under an agreement made on a previous day, the art to elicit the subject of "general debate" on appropriation bills. Progress was made on the postoffice appropriation bill, eighteen of the twenty-nine places having been completed, but few amendments being made to the measure, the change the amount of the appropriations to any considerable extent.

Washington, April 13, 1906. Senator Tillman's efforts to get a time fixed for a vote on the rate bill are fruitless, Senator Aldrich objecting to an agreement as he has done. It is more than very apparent that Aldrich would like to prevent a vote definitely and have the session adjourn without any bill being passed. Many predictions are made that it will be impossible to reach an agreement on a rate measure at this session on the ground that Aldrich and the court review amendment in the bill will never consent to allow a vote. On the other hand it is known that if no rate legislation is enacted the president will call an extra session. The fact is that strongly against the amendment withholding the vote, Senator Aldison was in conference with the president on the rate question on the 6th, Senators Long and Nelson were there also. The president continued his policy of calling in democratic senators and the court review amendment withholding the vote, Senator Aldison was in conference with the president on the rate question on the 6th, and attempted to secure enough signatures to warily calling one, but the idea was not successful as to the time of voting. Senator Tillman pointed out that nearly all the democrats had spoken who desired to speak. Much republican eloquence, however, is still to be heard. Senator Aldison has not yet made a set speech addressed to him, and he will do so and will have something to say before the legislature closes. In his recent address on the rail road rate bill Senator Elliott announced his conclusion in the following language: "First—That any legislation at tempting to confer upon the interstate commerce commission the power to fix rates will be unconstitutional unless it prescribes the standard of charges which shall control, and requires the commission to conform to federal rates. "Second—That any legislation at tempting to fix rates would be unconstitutional whose practical effect is to deny to common carriers the right to invoke and obtain, in due time, the protection of the courts from being compelled to transport or property at rates which violate the carrier's constitutional rights." He declared that the pending bill works a clear delegation of the congressional power to fix rates, and added: "would seem, therefore, necesarily to follow that the provisions of the bill conferring rate fixing power upon the commission are un constitutional." Much talk continues to be hear in Washington that the president will before long take up the tariff revisor question and that he is seriously contemplating sending a special mes sage to congress about it, looking to some preliminary action at this session and revision next session. Senators Allison and Dolliver of Iowa had a conference with the president at the White House on the evening of the 12th, regarding the railroad rate bill. Neither of the Senators agreed to the president beyond saying that there was "a merely incidental discussion of the rate bill situation." Representative Norris of Nebraska got a favorable report from the committee on election of president, vice president and representatives for his joint resolution for popular election of senators and extending to four years the term of members of the house. He believes that the senators have passed, especially that part relating to the extension of the terms of members of the house. Judge Norris urges that the present two year term for members of the house works an injustice to the members and to the country. Extreme measures have been adopted to apprehend the large number of Italian anarchists who have been accused of killing the police of all cities and the immigration officials have been notified to keep a close watch, and the department authorities believe that before long they will have known the enemies of organized government. One man recently arrested in San Francisco openly avowed his intention of killing the president, and he was demolished. The suspect was a former senator at Baltimore, has furnished the name of another man who is held to be particularly dangerous, and every effort to capture him is being made, and that the police of the hand that has come into this country. The house public building bill will be brought out soon. Captain Holl says it is probable that a rule will be adopted in the house and the bill passed under this rule, thus prohibiting the building of houses. This will insure Des Moines getting its $80,000 appropriation for a one story building for postoffice purposes and allowances for other Iowa cities as already announced. Two Irish farmers who had not seen each other for a long time met at a fair. They had a lot of things to tell each other. "Shure, it married I am," said Murphy. "You don't call me so," said Moran. "Falx, yes," said Murphy, "an I've got a fine healthy bhoy which the neighbors say is the very picture of me." Moran looked for a moment at Murphy, who was not, to say the least, remarkable for his good looks, and then said: "Och, well, what's the harum, so long as the child's head "Are they college men?" "No; merely college boys. Just freshmen." "Ah! they're not the finished product." "No; merely 'Rah material'" "Philadelphia Press. Automobilists in England are about as regardless of the safety of peodestrians as the drivers of these vehicles are in the United States. Justice Darling, a London judge, recently suggested, in the course of an automobile case, that the speed indicators of autos well be marked as "Murder." "Manhailhuster." "Murder." HIGH CLASS DRUGGISTS AND - OTHERS. The better class of druggists, everywhere, are men of scientists attainments and high integrity, who devote their lives to the welfare of their fellow men in supplying the best of remedies and purest medicinal agents of known value, in accordance with physicians' prescriptions and scientific formula. Druggists of the better class manufacture many excellent remedies, but always under original or official names and they never sell false brands, orimitation medicines. They are the men to deal with when in need of anything in their line, which usually includes all standard remedies and corresponding adjuncts of a first-class pharmacy and the finest and best of toilet articles and preparations and many useful accessories and remedial appliances. The earning of a fair living, with the satisfaction which arises from a knowledge of the benefits conferred upon their patrons and assistance to the medical profession, is usually their greatest reward for long years of study and many hours of daily toll. They all know that Syrup of Figs is an excellent laxative remedy and that it gives universal satisfaction, and therefore they are selling many millions of bottles annually to the well informed purchasers of the choiceest remedies, and they always take pleasure in handing out the genuine article bearing the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.-printed on the front of every package. They know that in cases of colds and headaches attended by biliosness and constipation and of weakness or torpidity of the liver and bowels, arising from irregular habits, indigestion, or over-eating, that there is no other remedy so pleasant, prompt and beneficial in its effects as Syrup of Figs, and they are glad to sell it because it gives universal satisfaction. Owing to the excellence of Syrup of Figs, the universal satisfaction which it gives and the immense demand for it, imitations have been made, tried and condemned, but there are individual druggists to be found, here and there, who do not maintain the dignity and principles of the profession and whose greets get the better of their judgment, and who do not hesitate to recommend and try to sell the imitations in order to make a larger profit. Such preparations sometimes have the name—"Syrup of Figs"—or "Fig Syrup" and of some piratical concern, or fictitious fig syrup company, printed on the package, but they never have the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of the package. The imitations should be rejected because they are injurious to the system. In order to sell the imitations they find it necessary to resort to misrepresentation or deception, and whenever a dealer passes off on a customer a preparation under the name of "Syrup of Figs" or "Fig Syrup," which does not bear the full name of the California Fig Syrup Co. printed on the front of the package, he is attempting to deceive and mislead the patron who has been so unfortunate as to enter his establishment, whether it be large or small, for if the dealer resorts to misrepresentation and deception in one case he will do so with other medicinal agents, and in the filling of physicians' prescriptions, and should be avoided by every one who values health and happiness. Knowing that the great majority of druggists are reliable, we supply the immense demand for our excellent remedy entirely through the druggists, of whom it may be purchased everywhere, in original packages only, at the regular price of fifty cents per bottle, but as exceptions exist it is necessary to inform the public of the facts, in order that all may decline or return any imitation which may be sold to them. If it does not bear the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front of every package, do not hesitate to return the article and to demand the return of your money, and in future go to one of the better class of druggists who will sell you what you wish and the best of everything in his line at reasonable prices. STORIETTES "Your honor," observed Mr. Balloy, "my unfortunate client—" "There the court is with you," gently interrupted the judge, with a grim smile. And the future senator from Texas lost his case. A New York teacher of instrumental music was one day telling the father of a pupil, a lad of ten years, of the progress made by the boy in his studies. "I didn't know whether he was really improving, or whether I was merely getting used to it." Henry Miller was playing "Joseph Entangled." Mr. Miller was in his dressing room one night when a message was brought to him from the stage door written in French by a man who claimed to be an old acquaintance, and requested the loan of twenty dollars. Mr. Miller read the waiting for him, threw it down impatiently, and reached for his pocketbook. "But surely," said his friend, "you are not going to send the follow the money." "What else can I do?" Mr. Miller can't have him going about town reporting that I can't read French." Clerk McDowell, of the House of Representatives, has issued a vest-pocket directory of the House, giving the names of the members, their residences, and their committee rooms. "What's this, Aleck?" asked a disgruntled member who came into the clark's office after he had had a session with the Speaker about getting recognized to call up a bill. "That's a vest-pocket directory of the House," Clerk McDowell replied. "The member examined it carefully. "Seek," the rotten waste of money, he said. "You have made it a heap smaller and more accurate if you had printed Speaker Cannon's name in it and let it go at that." A strange being with wings to its school of acting happened to float into the colony of devotes rehearsing "Ivan the Terrible." When the being began to rehearse, Mr. Mansfield grew paler and sadder and more dazed than a well man might. He had a hurried interview with his treasurer, resulting in the forthcoming of a bundle of greenbacks. Then the caustic curve in Mansfield's mobile lips came into play, and he courteously gesticulation away from the stage treasure, and said gently: "Ah, my dear sir, if you stay and play that part it will inevitably result in a murder or a suicide. To prevent either, I beg you will return my manuscript of the part, accept this two weeks' salary, home by the earliest train possible." "This—er—thing has been forced upon me."—Philadelphia Ledger.

Cut This Out Going through the hospitals in our large cities one is surprised to find such a large proportion of the patientlying on those snow-wilde beds women and girls, who are either awaiting or recovering from serious operations. Why should this be the case? Simply because they have neglected themselves. Female troubles are certainly on the increase among the women of the country, unawares, but every one of those patients in the hospital beds had plenty of warning in that bearing-down feeling, pain at left or right of the abdomen, nervous exhaustion, pain in the small intestine, and in the placements of the organs or irregularities. All of these symptoms are indications of an unhealthy condition of the female organs, and if not heeded the penalty has to be paid by a dangerously manifest themselves, do not drag along until you are obliged to go to the hospital and submit to an operation — but remember that Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved the lives of women from surgical operations. When women are troubled with irregular, suppressed or painful periods, weakness, displacement or ulceration of the organs, that bearing-down feeling, inflammation, backache, bloating (or fatulency), general debility, erasure, erasure, erasure with such symptoms as dizziness, insult, excitability, irritability, nervousness, sleeplessness, melancholy, "all-gone," and "want-to-be-lel-alone" feelings they should remember there is one tried and true remedy. The following letters cannot fall to bring hope to despairing women. Miss Ruby Mushrush, of East Chicago, Ind., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: I have a great need for the regular period and a female trouble, and about three months ago the doctor, after using the X-Ray on me, said I had an abccs and would have to have an operation. My mother wanted me to try Lydia's. Pinkham's Vegetable had a first-hand work, and it was only saved me from an operation but made me entirely well. Mrs. Alice Berryhill, of 812 Boyce Street, Chattanooga, Tenn. writes: Dear Mr. Pinkham, "Three years ago I looked dark to me. I had ulceration and inflammation of the female organs and was in a serious condition. My health was completely broken down and the doctor told me that I was not operated until I would die within six months. I told him I would have no operation but would try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. He tried to influence me against it but I sent for the medicines that same day and began to see it faithfully. Within five days I could get it into the early centre until I used it for some time. "Your medicine is certainly fine. I have induced several friends and neighbors to take it and I know more than a dozen who had female troubles, and who today are, as well as the others. I am from using your Vegetable Compound." Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound at once removes such troubles. Refuse to buy any other medicine, for you need the best. Mrs. Pinkham, daughter-in-law of Lydia E. Pinkham, invites all sick women and medicine have restored thousands to health. Address, Lynn, Mass. COUNCIL BLUFFS ITEMS. John Johnson is able to assume his position at Medoors Cafe.

You can use it just as a long, shiny hair perm. It is gentle on the hair. Nelson's Hair Dressing softens harsh, stubborn, refractory hair, prevents it from becoming dry and brittle, and enables you to do it up in any style consistent with your hair.

It supplies the needed oil directly to the roots of the hair, softens and moistens the hair, and promotes the growth of hair. It stops the hair from falling out, beekeeping oil and splitting at the ends, which is nearly always due to lack of natural oil in the hair.

Nelson's Hair Dressing is delightfully perfumed; put up in handmade 4-ounce square tin boxes (like one shown in cut), and sold everywhere by druggists and agents at 35 cents a box.
