There are many people who have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with splendid results, but who are unknow because they have hesitated about giving a testimonial of their experience for publication. These people, however, are none the less friends of this remedy. They have done much toward making it a household word by their personal recommendations to friends and neighbors. It is a good medicine to have in the home and is widely know for its cures of diarrhoea and all forms of bowel trouble. For sale by all drugstores. OBITUARY. On last Saturday night June 9, occurred the death of Mrs. Nettie Fox (nee Singer) at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Fields of dropsy. She had been sick for several months and her friends were alarmed. She was well known here having been raised and educated in Eddieville and Ottumwa. She was born in Ohio about 34 years ago and was married in this city to Mr. Fox who survived her. She was an orphan girl and had a cheerful disposition. She made her home principally with Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, Mr. and Mrs. Bradley and Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Fields. Rev. H. Seymour preached the funeral at the A. M. E. church Tuesday afternoon. The body was laid to rest in Woodland Cemetery. Gone to Rest. Roy Vaugh, the son of Mrs. A. J. Vaughn died June the 7, at his home. He was 16 years 5 months and 28 days old, a bright boy well liked by his play mates. The funeral was held from the A. M. E. church, conducted by Rev. T. L. Griffith assisted by Rev. H. Seymour. Many flowers from his friends, bespeak their respects. The pall-bearers were Messrs Everett Clay, Willie Gray, Earl Lewis, Pursey Houston, Roy Wilson and Louis Watson. Thus we are sorry to lose this young boy with such promise of a bright future. How to Break Up a Cold It may be a surprise to many to learn that a severe cold can be completely broken up in one or two days time. The first symptoms of a cold are a dry, loud cough, a profuse watery discharge from the nose, and a thin white coating on the tongue. When Chamberlain's cough remedy is taken every hour on the first appearance of of these symptoms, it counteracts the effect of the cold and restores the system to a healthy condition within a day or two.

The colored people of Boston are deeply stirred up over the indignities to which their fellowtownman, Rev. Reverdy C. Ransom, pastor of the Charles Street A. M. E. Church, was subjected by white passengers in Tennessee who mobbed him and drove him brutally from his seat in a Pullman car, and by the colored principal of the industrial school 1 at Normal, Ala., who because of the assault upon him by these mass ruffians not only forade him delivering the news not only forade him delivering the news then invited to deliver by this same principal, but turned him away from the grounds without even offering him shelter, rest or food. Especial resentment is felt he by the colored people over the false reports sent out by the Southern branch of the Associated Press and over those sent out by the principal of the school at Normal, Ala. Rev. Ransom, coming straight back from Alabama, arrived in Boston Wednesday night completely exhausted from his long fast and suffering from injuries received on the train going down. It has been found out that Rev. Ransom at no time was in the dining car, that he did not speak a word of German or French to any one, that he was conversing with no one when attacked. An hour before a lady had asked him from a seat across the isle if he were a Frenchman, pointing to foreign tags on his suit case and he had replied in English indicating that he knew about a foot. Not two dozen words and passed between them, only Rev. Ransom had sent the porter a copy of his Garrison Centennial oration. He bought his ticket, including Pulman in Boston. His wife who was with him says he inquired if he as a colored man would be molested. He addressed his assailants in English at all stages. The uncomplimentary reports as to Rev. Ransons condition by the school principal have also been found to be absolutely false and to be unserving of belief anyway inasmuch as neither this principal nor his alumni were courteous enough to meet the distinguished visitor. Rev. Ransons' requests to see the principal were denied. None of the messengers at the building on the outskirts of the grounds to which Rev. Ransom had been taken in a carriage would tell him why he would not be allowed to deliver his address or discuss the matter. They simply told him the principal was busy and had sent orders for him to leave the place at once. BOSTON NEGRO PASTOR TWICE THROWN OUT Alabama College Faculty Ejects Rev. R, C. Ranson, Declaring He Was Intoxicated. Put of the Parlor Car. HUNTSVILLE, Ala., May 29—On the grounds that he was intoxicated, the Rev. Beverly A. Ranson, colored, of Boston, was last night ejected from the grounds of the Agricultural and Mechanical College. He was to deliver the annual address to the graduating class of the college, and had reached the institution in line. It being said that he was intoxicated the faculty had him removed. "He has insulted the young Negro boys and girls," sail President Cantrell, "and we would not allow him to speak for his weight in gold." He left for Chattanooga. The Rev. Mr. Ransom was ejected from a Pullman car on the Southern railway Sunday by William B. McSween and Edward Mims, prominent citizens of Newport, Tenn., who took him for a negro and objected to seeing him occupy a seat beside a white woman, and now threatens trouble. Before passing through the cly' he obtained the names of all witnesses to the ejectment, the names of the conductor of the train and of the Pullman officials. It was asserted that he had obtained a seat in the Pullman under the claim that he was a Frenchman of fine blood. MIDLAND CHAUTAUQUA. Chautauqua Park. June 22d to July 1st Inclusive.

O. of Odd Fellows, Household of Ruth and the Grand Court of Heroes of Jerico all held their annual sessions this week; the first two in our city and the latter in Omaha, Neb. As their sessions were not concluded until Thursday, we could not get a complete report this week, but will give them in full next week; however the Odd Fellows re-elected the same officers. The Household of Ruth elected Mrs. Anna Green of Cedar Rapids D. M. N. G.; Mrs. Alice Johnson of Evons Deputy M. N. G.; Mrs. Henriette Arnold of Ft. Madison M. G. Treasurer; Mrs. Susie Mathews, Des Moines, Recorder and Mrs. May Terry of Cedar Rapids D. Director. The Grand Court at Omaha elected Mrs. Cora Jones of Oksaloa Grand Matron; Mrs. Monroe of Buxton V. G. Matron; A. A. Bland of Keokuk Joshua; Mrs. Ella Walkup of Moline, Ill., Treasurer; Miss Ida Palmer of Burlington Secretary. Next meeting of the Grand Court will be held in Oksaloa. DR. CADY SPOKE ON "THE CLANSMAN" ON SUNDAY. Lashes Thomas Dixon, Senator Tillman and Other Race Agitators. Touches on Local Conditions in Referring to Punishment of Rape Fiends. "The Clansman or is the Negro a Man?" was the subject of a rather sensational sermon by Dr. George L. Cady at the First Congregational church on Sunday evening. The sermon was brought about by the recent production at the Grand of "The Clansman," a play founded on the novel of the same name from the pen of Rev. Thomas Dixon, Dr. Cady lashed the author in no uncertain terms, saving in part: "The race problem is not to be solved through race hatred but by realizing that the destiny of the south is as much in the hands of the Negro as of the white man and they will both rise or fall together, for no man ever yet rose on the neck of another and no race ever built a kingdom cent of the ruins of another. The solvent is not to be found with lilman by sending a few more niggers to hell" for the man who sends another man to hell here or beyond goes with him. Race War Imminent. It is not to be solved by the lurid and despicable sentiments of "The Leopard Spots" and "The Clansman," for, unless race hatred is allayed and not aroused, there will be a race war and it is not at all sure as yet that it will be the Negro who goes to hell any more than the white man—it is more than likely in such a conflict that both will get more of it than they want. Nothing could be more unfortunate just now when the best men of the south are putting their brains and hearts to solve the Negro question, not by extinguishing him, but by uplifting him, and when the whole teaching of Christianity and progress is crying for less race prejudice, than that Tom Dixon should have launched his novels upon the public and should go about with his play fanning all that is worst in us to new life and create murder in our hearts. Effect of Play. At the play I heard a lady say, "I'd like to kill that nigger," and another said, "When I came out I wanted to kill every nigger I saw." Anything that creates that feeling is dangerous and criminal and the man who is guilty of it is a traitor to the commonwealth. A play that sends men out as it was in the south and north alike crying "Kill! Kill! We want blood, blood!" is a play which deserves your unadulterated contempt and its author your unalloyed loathing. The man who dares to send forth out of the depth of his soul, "The One Woman," and so far forget his manhood and Christianity as to bech forth these last two novels, is one who deserves only literary and social ostracism. If your nature will not rest until you have "blood" if you must get up a "necktie party" to satisfy the longings of your soul, you will do more to promote the peace of society and the progress of the human race if you will take Tom Dixon out, than as though you strung up a hundred ignorant Negroes. Who Made Negro Immoral? "He is immoral." This is the truest indictment which has been brought against the Negro. He is immoral, fearfully and degradedly immoral, and it is the lament both of the leaders of the sout and of his own race. He was stolen nearly three hundred years ago from the wilds of Africa and after three hundred years contract with the white man he is still immoral? You denied him the possession of a soul and you called him a beast and in all the years he was with you you treated him as one. The charge that he is immoral is the worst indictment that can be brought against slavery and the slaves' late master, for it took less than a year for Robt. Moffat to tame the beast and make a moral man out of an Africaner in the jungles of Africa and if slavery was such a beneficial institution it ought to have more to show for the three hundred years in which the slave was in daily contact with the Christian white man. Comparative Civilization- But morality is not a growth of a day and cannot be tied onto life in a night. It took 1500 years of civilization and Christianity to evolve out of barbarism a Tillman and a Dixon and still they have the motors, the claws and the blood-thirst of the beast of pre-y, and it took forty years to solve from slavery a Booker Washington who could say, "I will never allow any man to drag me down by making me hate him." I have heard it rumored that there are white thieves, white murderers, white rapists, white bribers of legislatures, and it has been whispered lately that there have been white looters of life insurance funds—first pluck out the beam out of thy white eye and then shalt thou see clearly to pluck out the mote out of thy brothers's eye," and in sight of God it can only be a mote when we consider our superior advantages and from what he so recently has come. Plays to the Galleries. But the impression that seems to prevail and to which Tom Tibson so effectively appeals to the galleries, that the antipathy to the Negro rises from his crime against womanhood, is simply not true. Lawlessness is never right and lynching is always a crime. But if the death penalty was ever to be defended better as a punishment for this most devilish of all crimes than for any other. No punishment is too severe for such a fiend and I would have less and almost nothing to say if lynching parties were confined to those who have been guilty of this atrocious crime against womanhood. But what are the facts? Between the years of 1896 and 1900 there were 504 lynchings and of these only 96 were for rape, 179 for murder and 224 have to be put down to mere race prejudice. But what is the difference to the girl or the woman whether it be a black man or a white man who takes from her the most precious possession of her life? And yet if it be a white man, What do you do? Refers to Dubuque Case, Why you let the law take its course or you do often just what was done with the young man who made such an attempt this last year in Dubuque—get together and sign petitions and move heaven and earth to get him free and even try to get him from the clutches of justice after he is landed in the pittentary, whereas if he had been a Negro he would have been strugged up to the first telegraph pole. I do not complain so much about the punishment meted out—I complain only about the discrimination as to whether a black or white man commits the crime and as to whether it is committed against a white or black woman.—Globe-Journal, Dubuque. The Very Best Remedy for Bowel Trouble Mr. M. F. Borroughs, an old and well-known resident of Bluffton, Ind., says: "I regard Chamberlain's Colle, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy as the very best remedy for bowel trouble. I make this statement after having used the remedy in my family for several years. I am never without it." This remedy is almost sure to be needed before the summer is over. Why not buy it now and be prepared for such an emergency?

Editor's Observations This year as in the past several years we have begun our regular annual visit to many of the cities and towns of Illinois, Missouri, Minnesota, Nebraska and Iowa in the interest of the Iowa state Bystander, which has already become a very welcome weekly householder visitor. It is well liked, because it is non-sectarian; through her columns all churches, classes, sects and secret society are premlted to voice their cause. She appeals to the young people for their social functions and educational interests are chronicle there. She appeals to the matured and older man, because in her editorial columns are often found simple, honest truths that appeal to every true citizen. Then the political and race questions are so thoroughly discussed and analyzed that it becomes one of race pillars for all that is good for his own development. Therefore in the observation let us remember that the facts as observed by ye editor are true. In stating those facts we must be brief and without comment, leaving our readers to pass judgment. The little town of Osceola, nestled on the prairies of south central Iowa, the county seat of Clark county, situated 1 the central part of standpaint in Iowa politics. Here lives about 40 colored people, mostly old settlers, owning their homes.

As everybody know that we are extreme believers in farming and a strong advocate of our people taking to the farms, we will mention them first. The largest farmer is perhaps Mr. Montgomery who lives near Coin, and the Stewarts near Hollyville, and the Cooks; all of these having owned their farms for many years. Thos. Jones owns a good farm three miles from town. He is one of the oldest, and highly esteemed by all who know him. He was at one time a blacksmith and ran a shop for many years. His son Allen is a blacksmith in Buxton. Mr. Jones has on his farm 35 fine thorough bred Poland-China pigs, his hogs took two first and one second prize at the fair last year, and he will enter many head this year. To show what his industrious helpmate, Mrs. Jones is doing, she sold this Spring 157 goose eggs at 5c apiece, 14 Peean duck eggs at 5c per dozen, 170 guinea eggs at 25c per dozen, from 5 to 23 dozen eggs per week.

Pinkham and for twenty-five years under her direction and since her decease she has been advising sick women free of charge. Mrs. Pinkham never violates the confidence of women and is every testimonial better published in the written consent or request of the writer, in order that other sick women may be benefited as she has been. Mrs. Alice Berryhill, of 313 Boyes Street, Chattanooga, Tenn., writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham: "Three years ago life 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 if I was not operated upon I would die within six months. I would try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. He tried to influence me against it but I sent for the medicine that same day and began to use it faithfully. Within five days of relief but was not entirely cured 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 been sick when they came and strong as I am from using your Vegetable Compound." Just as surely as Mrs. Berryhill was cured, will Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound cure every woman suffering from any form of female lilies. If you are sick write Mrs. Pinkham for advice. It is free and always helpful. COMMERCIAL CULLINGS. The quantity of frozen meat exported from Argentina last year was 3,325,124 carcasses of sheep and lambs, and 1,922,757 quarters of beef.

If afflicted with ( Thompson's Eye Water COST OF SUPERVISION FALLS ON GOVERNMENT. Requires Federal Label on Meat and Meat Products as Guaranty of Purity. Washington—A meat inspection provision was completed by the house committee on agriculture Wednesday and will be presented to the house for action at once, which it is declared by the committee will insure that American meats and meat products are healthful, clean and in every respect wholesome and fit for food. The important features of the legislation are that it places the cost of the inspection on the government and makes an annual automatic appropriation of $2,000,000 to pay the expenses. It requires a rigid post mortem and ante mortem inspection of all animals killed for food. It requires a government label as a passport for all meat and meat products which enter interstate commerce and in addition to this label, a certificate of purity to the carrier and to the secretary of agriculture for such products which enter foreign commerce. To secure this label the product must be handled in accordance with sanitary regulations to be prescribed by the secretary of agriculture, who is authorized to employ, without regard to the civil service law for the first year, an adequate corps of efficient inspectors to supervise the enforcement of his regulations. It prohibits the use of preservatives or chemicals in the preparation of meat foods which are deleterious to health, and leaves the matter of determining this question to the secretary of agriculture. The label on the product is to indicate the ingredients, but the date of manufacture is not required to be stated. The sanitary requirements which the secretary is to prescribe and enforce must insure complete sanitation as to all buildings, whether slaughter houses or canning establishments. EASY FOR THE COAL PEOPLE Railroad Performs All the Work of Switching and Pays Well for Privilege. Philadelphia. — The Berwind-White Coal Mining company was the issue before the interstate commerce commission when it resumed its investigation Tuesday. Probably the most important fact brought out was that the coal company is allowed seven cents a ton by the railroad company for handling its cars on the Harimus pler. This allowance gives the coal company about $17,000 a month for this service. The work is performed, however, by Pennsylvania railroad crews with railroad locomotives, for which the coal company makes monthly settlements with the railroad, the amount of the monthly bill being something over $700. Philadelphia.—Orders for private cars to be used by independent coal mining companies were placed with the Pressed Steel Car company by the Pennsylvania Railroad company and paid for by that corporation, which afterward had a settlement with the coal companies.

Washington.—The majority and minority reports of the committee on privileges and elections in the case of Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah, were Monday presented in the senate, the former by Senator Burrows, declaring that Mr. Smoot is not entitled to his seat and the latter by Senator Foraker, taking the opposite view. Senator Bailey, who is a member of the committee, stated that while he concurred in the views of the majority, that Mr. Smoot is not entitled to his seat, he was of the opinion that "Mr. Smoot could not be deprived of his seat and the constitution except by a resolution of expulsion."

COAL GRAFT NY HERALD PACKERS DECLARED GUILTY KANSAS CITY JURY FINDS THEY ACCEPTED REBATES. Agreement Made Before Rates Were Advanced Is Held to Be No Mitigation. Kansas City, Mo.—Armour & Co. Swift & Co, Cudahy & Co., and the Nelson Morris Packing company were found guilty in the United States district court here Tuesday of accepting rebates from the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway on export shipments on packing house products. The specific case considered, which was practically identical with the others, was that charging Cudahy & Co. with accepting a rate of 23 cents per 100 pounds on a shipment of lard to New York for export to Germany, when the legal tariff then on file with the interstate commerce commission was 35 cents. The trial began last week, and after lengthy argument was continued until Tuesday morning, when Judge Smith McPherson, of Red Oak, Ia., the presiding judge, instructed the jury. The case is of unusual importance in the list of batee trials to come in this court, for it is the first time that any concern has been brought to trial before a jury on a charge affecting export rates as applied to the interstate commerce act. Counsel for the defendants in this trial contended that the court lacked jurisdiction, which was overruled by Judge McPherson, and that that when they signed a contract covering the 23-cent rate it was legal, and that the Burlington later raised its tariff to 35 cents. Judge McPherson's instructions to the jury covered the points fully. Kansas City, Mo.-The Chicago, Burlington & Quincy Railway company was found guilty here late Wednesday afternoon by a jury in the United States district court on four counts of granting concessions on packing house shipments for export to the Armour Packing company, Swift & Co., Cudahy & Co., and the Nelson Morris Packing company. The conviction carries with it a fine of from $1,000 to $20,000 on each count. Judge Smith McPherson, the presiding judge, deferred sentencing the defendant until June 22. All four counts are practically the same. SEEKS DIORCE IN NEVADA Wife of Steel Magnate Corey Files Suit for Separation in the Far West. Reno, Nev.-Mrs. William Ellis Corey, wife of the president of the United States Steel corporation, Tuesday morning filed a petition in the second district court of Nevada at this place for an absolute decree of divorce.

Granniss, both former vice presidents of the Mutual Life Insurance company, were returned Monday by the special grand jury which has been investigating insurance affairs for the past six weeks. Six indictments were found against Dr. Gillette, five for forgery in the third degree, and one for perjury. Mr. Granniss was indicted for forgery and for making false statements to the insurance department, the latter being a misdemeanor. The forgery indictments against Dr. Gillette are based upon alleged false entries in the books of the company and the perjury charge grows out of his testimony before the grand jury. The forgery Indictment against Granniss is based upon alleged false entries upon the annual report of the Mutual for 1904 to the insurance department. It is alleged that the sum of $1,044,058.23, the net profits of the company for 1904, was not noted in that report, but was concealed by Mr. Granniss. The misdemeanor charge of making false statements grows out of the filing of the alleged false report to the insurance department. NEW SCIENTIST CHURCH. Remarkable Religious Demonstration Occurs at Boston Dedication— Temple Free from Debt. Boston.—One of the most remarkable religious demonstrations ever witnessed in New England occurred Sunday, when the new $2,000,000 Christian Science temple in the Back Bay district was dedicated. From every state in the union and from all parts of the world came members of that faith to be present at the dedicatory services. It was estimated that more than 40,000 Christian Scientists were in the city. Six services were held to accommodate the vast throngs. At the close of each service Edward A. Klimball, of Chicago, presented a reply of thanks to Mrs. Eddy for her dedicatory address and for her general work in behalf of the church.
