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.

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.

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.

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.

Martin, G W Dow and McDonald own good homes, well filled with fruit trees Into Clarinda, the county seat of Page, in the extreme south county of Iowa, boarding on Missouri, here dwells fully 600 colored people in the county, and many are doing extremely well. 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.

CONCERNING CLOCKS Never allow the clock to run down. it responds to regular attention just as surely as a human being does and keeps its course truly when made to follow its endless routine. The hands of a clock should always be turned forward. To set the hands by reversing the right-hand motion is to loosen delicate screws that hold them within reach of various cog slips. Never allow the clock to be moved from the position where it is well balanced. A deviation of two or three minutes a day from the correct time may allow the wear of the clock, and once it is properly adjusted it should not be shifted for dusting or for artistic purposes. This is especially true of clocks that have a pedulum. The Custom Is Now General. It has now become a general and also a safe rule to demand brands of goods that are well known and have a reputation for quality. We have manufacturers of goods inform consumers of this fact and point out that safety in buying the brands that bear their names is important in this respect the Mayer brand of shoes are deserving of special mention. Our readers have no doubt become familiar with the Mayer brand that bear their names and wearing qualities by actual use. The Mayer factory turns out shoes suitable for every member of the family and for all uses, Sunday's fashion show is known throughout the broad expanse of our land as the shoes of style and quality. "Honorilib" are very popular fast shoes for men and "Western Lady" shoes embody the fit and style demanded by well dressed ladies. For extreme comfort "Maratha Jackson" shoes are high-quality floral shoes that in mind when next buying shoes. DIETARY DICTA Dinner should be of a lighter nature in summer than in winter. A quart of wheat contains more nutriment than a bushel of cucumbers. There is a happy mean between eating everything and being squeamish. Two pounds of potatoes contain as much nutriment as 13 pounds of turnips. Light soups, light desserts and light meals should have the preference in warm weather. Vegetables and fruits are to be used most generously at that season of the year, but not necessarily in autumn.

BUILDING FOOD To Bring the Babies Around. When a little human machine (or a large one) goes wrong, nothing is so important as the selection of food to bring it around again. "My little baby boy fifteen months old had pneumonia, then came brain fever, and no sooner had he got over these than he began to cut teeth and, being so weak, he was frequently thrown into convulsions," says a Colorado mother. "I decided a change might help, so took him to Kansas City for a visit. When we got there he was so very weak when he would cry he would sink away and seemed like he would die. When I reached my sister's home she said immediately that we must feed him Grape-Nuts and, although I had never used the food, we got some and for a few days gave him just the juice of Grape-Nuts and milk. He got stronger so quickly we were soon feeding him the Grape-Nuts itself and in a wonderfully short time he fattened right up and became strong and well. "That showed me something worth knowing and, when later on my girl came, I raised her on Grape-Nuts and she is a strong healthy baby and has been. You will see from the little photograph I send you what a strong, chubby youngster the boy is now, but he didn't look anything like that before we found this nourishing food. Grape-Nuts nourished him back to strength when he was so weak he couldn't keep any other food on his stomach." Name given by Postum Co. Battle Creek, Mich. All children can be built to a more sturdy and healthy condition upon Grape-Nuts and cream. The food contains the elements nature demands, from which to make the soft gray filling in the nerve centers and brain. A well-fed brain and strong, nerves absolutely insure a healthy body. Look in pigs, for the famous little book, "The Road to Wildville." Expropriation of the West. Exploitation of the west. Five years ago we who lived in the arwest were wondering when the marvelous resources of our one-third of the United States would be discovered and exploited. To-day, says a writer in The Reader, we awaken to ind our forests stripped, the places where we pitched our tents, built our mudges and fried our bacon and game made desolate by the steam saw and the freight car. The rivers where we speared our salmon and the rushing waters of the northwest where we cast our seine have been made to fill the labeled tins of highly capitalized syndicates, until the preservation of the "sock-eye," the most delicious of all salmon, has become the subject of interstate conference. The immense plains, whose phenomenal productivity made legends of the "Mussel Sloughs" and our "Yuba Dams," are being turned into irrigated plainsances, into trolley-streaks highways, into the dense social conditions of Ohio, Iowa and Illinois. Mental Poise and Health. People who reach extreme old age are, as a rule, pretty well balanced, physically and mentally. A poised life is serene, and serenity and harmony tend to longevity. The mind that is not well balanced is constantly jangled and out of tune, truly saves O. S. Marden in Success Magazine. There is a constant jarring which racks the whole human machinery. There is discord in an unbalanced life, and discord is always destructive—deadly. The well-poised, dignified life is not thrown off its center quickly. The man who goes all to pieces over tiffes is one-sided. There is a momentum in a poised, balanced nature which steadies its progress and helps hold it on its chosen track. Hot temper, constant mental confusion and disorder are vitality-savers—life-shorteners. Don Powers, one of Maine's leading lawyers, was at one time defending some men who had been charged with assault and battery. The case was being tried before Judge Peters in Bangor. The strength of Mr. Powers' argument was so great that although the accused were thought guilty by nearly every one present the jury returned a verdict or not guilty. After the acquittal of the men the judge, who had been impressed by the argument, said: "Brother Powers, there is no doubt as to the man getting a beating, but who do you think did it?" "Your honor," replied Mr. Powers, "I always thought my clients did unfit the jury said they didn't." A London scientist says that life in a metropolis makes young children sharp but not clever; that it often destroys their chance of ever being clever, for it hastens the development of the brain unnaturally; it makes them superficial, alert, but not observant; excitable, but without one spark of enthusiasm; they are apt to grow blake, fissure, discontented; they see more things from the country-bred child, but not such interesting things; they do not properly see anything, for they have neither the time nor capacity to get at the root of all the bewildering objects that crowd themselves into their little lives. There is more than a grain of truth in this assertion. It seems especially incredible that a strong, sturdy, self-made man, who has had to fight his way up from poverty, and who feels the backache in every dollar he has earned, should let his savings slip through his fingers in the most foolish investments, with scarcely any investigation, often sending his money thousands of miles away to people he has never seen and about whom he knows practically nothing except through an advertisement which has attracted his attention, or through the wiles of soms smooth, unprincled promoted promoter.-Success. Speaker Cannon and about half the members of the house went down the Potomac river to a planked shad party. They organized a ball game and put Uncle Joe in as ampire. He was spry as a cat and made some marvelous decisions. His star performance was when Gen. George Harries, having made a home run, started round the bases a second time. "You're out!" shouted Uncle Joe. "Why?" demanded Harries. "I am entitled to run until they find the ball." "Not at all," the umpire said firmly, "your time has expired. Prof. William Lyon Pheips, of Vale returned recently from a trip abroad on a steamer too crowded for comfort On the ship with him was a Harvard professor who was not at all pleased with the conditions aboard.

IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth MANY PASSENGERS INJURED. Wreck on Rock Island at Marne Does Considerable Damage. Des Moines—Eleven people, five of them from Des Moines, were injured in a wreck on the Rock Island at Marine on Thursday night, when the new fast train, the "Iowa Limite," struck its first disaster in a head-on collision with the "Colorado Flyer." The injuries in all cases were confined to minor cuts and bruises, and probably have no serious results. The wreck occurred on a curve just west of the depot of Marine, which is the first station west of Atlantic, and was due to a misunderstanding in orders, by the trainers, who failed to take the sliding to allow No. 66 to pass. No. 69 was not in motion at the time of the accident, and No. 66 was running slowly. Thus fortunately the heavy loss of life which would have occurred had the trains met at usual speed. No. 69, the westbound "Colorado Flyer", left Des Moines in charge of Conductor Fox and Engineer Binkley, and No. 66, the eastbound "Iowa Limited", in charge of Conductor Bledsoe and Engineer Binkley, the trainers, Passing orders, and those were sent to both trains, but those to the west bound neglected to order it to take the sliding there. The train was stopped on the main track on a curve just west of the station, and the enboulder track, and around the curve and crashed into it before the danger could be foreseen. Both engines were disabled and the front ends of the mail cars on each train were smashed with all passengers by crimen and passengers were due to the shock and to flying glass, none of the cars on either train leaving the rails. The main line track was blocked for other trains, and no other trains were detained, as a passage was secured on the passing track. ARE SMOKING CIGARETTES. Boys and Girls in Council Bluffs College Drive Investigator Council Bluffs—Reports of cigarette smoking among girls as well as boys in the Council Bluffs high school during the past year have stirred up parents and the board of education to the inquiring stage.

They authorize has had all the young girls cough the tendency, but the teachers found themselves unable to stamp out the practice. The smoking habit has spread to the middle grades, and instances have come to light where boys or girls first and second grades are addicted to the use of cigarettes or pipes. A teacher not long ago learned that some of the boys in her charge, aged 8 to 10 years, were wont to meet in an alley and hold a peace council, Indian fashion, which carried with it the ceremonial of smoking or pipe-ups.

One of them, who is now serving a five-year sentence in Anamosa for manslaughter, was hiding under the sidewalk and just as Alderman J. H. H. C. was along, the boy jumped up from under the sidewalk and almost frightened Dominy to death. The result was instrumental in formulating the curfew ordinance, which has been in use in Cascade for the past ten years, though so strictly enforced for some time. ANOTHER MURDER AT BUXTON.

EXPRESSES HIMSELF FREELY To Chairman Wadsworth of House Committee — President Declares That Bill Is Not at All Adequate to Meet the Conditions. Washington, June 15.—A careful examination of the substitute proposed by the committee on agriculture of the house for the meat inspection amendment of Senator Beveridge to the agricultural appropriation bill was made yesterday afternoon by the president, it can be said is opposed to the house substitute in its entirety. He may not go so far as to veto the bill if it should be enacted by congress, with the house amendment attached, but he has made it clear that he deem the provision at all adequate. Representative Wadsworth of New York, chairman of the house committee on agriculture, had a conference late yesterday afternoon with President Roosevelt regarding the action of the house committee. He submitted to the president the substitute for the Beveridge amendment agreed upon by the committee and sought opinion on the matter. Frankly that he could not approve of it. In fact, after reading the substitute carefully, the president told Mr. Wadsworth that he disapproved it absolutely. The president discussed the subject with Chairman Wadsworth for a time, indicating to him the specific points on which he agreed with the majority of the house committee. He pointed out that the failure of the committee was due to the lack of hours, either of the lay or of the night was a defect which he could not pass and he urgently disapproved of the court review clause of the substitute. The president did not lay special stress on the proposition of the committee that the government should pay the expenses of the inspection, although he feels that the committee should pay the inspection charges the provision will render the law less effective than otherwise it would be. After his conference with Chairman Wadsworth, President Roosevelt wrote a letter to him stating, in a definite and formal way, his objection to the substitute for the Boeuf committee drafted by the house committee. It did not differ in any essential way from the statements made by the president to Mr. Wadsworth personally. The president wrote the letter, however, in order that his position might be distinctly understood and be of record. to copy of the letter, he preferred that for the present at least, it should be in the hands of Chairman Wadsworth and his committee. THE SCENE IN HOUSE IS MOST DRAMATIC Washington, D. C., June 15—Not in years has the house of representatives witnessed a more dramatic scene than it witnessed yesterday, incident to the adoption of the conference report on statehood. Mr. Washington, the chairman on territories, called up the conference report on the statehood bill. After a statement by the chairman and another by Mr. Moon, the ranking member of the minority of the committee, Mr. Marcus A. Smith, the delegate from Arizona, took occasion in a guarded meeting that there had been undue influence used in postponing an agreement. Smarting under what he believed to be a direct instinuation against him, Speaker Cannon impetuously left the chair, calling Mr. Dazell to the desk, and taking a position unquestionably on the seat which he occupied for many years until chosen speaker, he asked the speaker pro tem for five minutes to explain his position. After making a clear statement of his position on the statehood bill, he said: "I would have asked the governor the honorable gentleman, the delegate from Arizona (Mr. Smith), made the remark that there was a high penalty for the governor of that territory to attempt to influence legislation, or for one legislative body or its memorial to traffic in the legislation with the other, if order to secure other legislation, if f correctly state him. "That remark could have had, but one motive and one meaning, and that meaning is that some one in the house has sought to affect legislation in the house as a matter of force, to secure action upon this matter in the house, butputation as implied so far as it reflects on the speaker of this house, and so far as I know or believe, upon any other member of this house, is unworthy of the gentleman who uttered it and without foundation in fact, is necessary to furnish proof of this statement. I look about me here on my own side of the house on members with whom I disregarded touching the progress of this bill from time to time, and upon that slice of the house, and I pause and invite any member present who has the least intimation, knowledge, or even belief that the statement imminent from the gentlemen is true to say so. Republicans and democrats alike applauded the speaker and congratulated him upon his remarks. Soldiers Killed in Egypt Cairo, June 15—Captain S. C.

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.

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.

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.
