H. S. Brown. Owing to the fact that the entertainments given by Charity Lodge this year for the benefit of the visitors was under my supervision lead me to write in the following manner as if it had been my habit for a good many years to visit the sitting of the grand. I am sorry to say that this year seemed to be the only one in which there were a large number of people from all over the state that came to visit the grand lodge but with no great degree of enthusiasm the first night of our entertainments was largely advertised all over the state as the delegates voting contest the delegates themselves seemed to be the least interested. Every one was admitted free and after coming inside they actually refused to vote for each other and of course the pub it could not get interested until the delegates did. Their failure to do so made the entertainment given for them a failure. On the second night when the reception was especially for the benefit of the excursionists from Buxton what could be more surprising to me than to see them pile on the cars and take to the parks and every other place of amusement but the one prepared for them. The committee had made special arrangements for the Buxton people and had gone to great expense with no thought to such treatment. On Thursday afternoon am proud to say that we had a grand and glorious parade. No lodge, white chick, ever made a better credit than did her self more credit than on this occasion. The program due for the afternoon because the Buxton Patriarchie and Sisters of Ruth for that the committee had not provided a special place for them to sit and on leaving the hall took the crowd in the streets and Rev. Mendenhall and Geo. Terrill, both of Buxton, who were there to speak had to be asked by the committee to save their speeches until some other time. And now we come to the dance, in the evening. It is not possible that the colored people of this city has ever seen a larger and happier crowd than filled Cycling hall on this occasion. The installation of the grand officers came first and occupied very little time and as I have remarked before so far as the grand lodge was concerned the people seemed for this year to have lost all interest but with the dancers not so. They continued to fill the hall until the orchestra began to play Home, Sweet Home, at 12 o'clock which caused every dancer to sigh with deep regret and many of them to seek the committee and see if it was true true, and thus ended the three nights entertainment given for this sitting of the grand lodge which will meet next year in Davenport, Iowa. The re-election of all district officers this year was a surprise to almost every interested Person. The visitors of the grand lodge to the city this year will always be welcome. CUMMINS A SURE WINNER The gubernatorial contest in Iowa is fast coming to a close. It may be spectular or it may be dramatic, but one thing is certain another chapter in the Iowa political history will have been written. Ever since the public announcement of Hon. Geo. D. Perkins of Sioux City, and a few weeks later the announcement of A. B. Cummins, the Iowa contest opened. One man without money or its equivilent, backed by the common people whom he has served so faithful and well, was pitted against the state organization, backed by nearly all the railroads, trusts, corporations, office holders, politicians and all needed money, yet to date Cummins has 788 delegates uncontested and instructed; while Mr. Perkins his closest competitor, has less then 400 instructed delegates with 11 counties yet to hear from. He only needs 5 more delegates out of the 110 yet to be selected, and most of those counties favor him. All done but the shouting boys. The Ransom Episode Within the past few weeks the press through the Associated correspondents, told of the trouble Rev. Reverdy Ransom, now of Boston A. M. E. church, but formerly of Bethel, and the founder of the Institutional church in Chicago, had been subjected to on a passenger train from Boston to Normal, Ala., where he was to deliver an address to the graduating class of Prof. W. H. Council's State Normal and Industrial 1904--SECOND ANNIVERSARY--1906 1904--SECOND ANNIVERSARY--1906 As pastor and people, we meet at Union Congregational Church, Tenth and Park, to praise God for permitting us to work together during the past two years. This is Union Congregational church, being erectek, now ready for the interior finish. College. Two white ignorant, prejudice beasts drug him out of a certin coach to the jim-crow coach, which per se was horrible and inexcuseable. When he reached Normal, Ala., Prof. Councill would not allow him to deliver his address, stating his reason was intoxication. In this week's issue we publish a letter from the pen of our able and fearless writer, Charles Stewart, who was in our city this spring and lectured at Corinthian Baptist church. He was present and gives authentic facts. We are indeed sorry for this episode; at one time Rev. Ransom had a bright future before him. Such episodes as laid to his door has ruined the hope of many a brilliant man and shattered the possibilities of true and noble manhood. MT.

THE RACE PROBLEM PASTOR OF AFRICAN METHODOIST CHURCH INTERVIEWED Highly Eulogies Rev. Dr. Cady for Stand He Took in a Recent Sermon. Says Only Salvation of His People is Education—Pleads For Rev. R. H. Hackley, pastor of African Methodist Epicopal church and one of the ablest and best educated colored divines in this part of the country, in speaking of the race problem to a representative of this paper recently, said "As an indorsement to the noble effort put forth by Dr. Cady of the First Congregational church Sunday evening I feel that I bespeak the sentiments of every race loving Negro of Dubuque when I say that the people of this city should be proud of the distinction of having such a fearless Christian gentleman as Dr. Cady in their midst; en example of the highest type of man-hood. ANNIVERSARY--1906 set at Union Congregational Church, permitting us to work together Rev. H. W. Porter. Rev. Porters solution of the "Negro Problem" is the training of the bear, hand and heart of our young men and women. ch, being erectek, now ready for ior finish. Negro Fights for Country. "The Negro is and always has been an important factor in this government they have responded to every call to maintain the honor and protection of this nation; by the side of white soldiers our noble Attucks spilled his blood for American liberty. We are told that none fought more bravely than he, on Boston Commons. Were not Negro soldiers present when Cornwallis surrendered the sword to Washington; Negro slaves, too, standing at parade rest, believing that at some future time their children's children would know the freedom which that day came to you and yours. At San Juan Hill. "Again, was it not the black boys that mounted the summit of San Juan and unfurled to the breeze the banner of American liberty? "The enunciation proclamation could not suddenly rid us of all that centuries of slaxery and barbarism had left. Will Take Time. 'Ours must be growth as has been the white race and by patient toil and continued effort on our part with your sympathy and aid, this country will finally see a rightful solution of the difficult problem that now confront us. Don't Seek White Marriages. "The self respecting and intelligent Negro is not clamoring for social recognition, neither is he asking for the hand of the white man's daughter, for if it is color he seeks has the distinction of being identified with a race that have almost all the colors of the rainbow, including black and brown, with its various shades. Negroes Don't Despair. When censured or misunderstood in senate, or critised in public press, as the weakest of our weakest ones are heralded abroad, we remember that these are bad because they are human ratere than because they ase Negroes and though disappointed, we dot despair. But to those of our critics who would forget justice I would say, forget not that each upward struggling soul go stumbling to the skirts of the invisible God and for man's sake I adjure you not to cast obstacles before his face in the way of a weaker though upward, struggling race. No Apology For Vicious. "But this is no apology for our worst elements or an upholding of the vicious yes, we heve them in numbers far too great for their blood or racial weal; they are the weights upoh us but they are ours; we will tell them of their faults and teach them. Forty Years of Progress. "From nothing we could call our own, in forty-one year we own eight hundred and fiftythousands farms, nine banks, two street railways and pay taxes on seven hundred million dollars in property. At the same time we have reduced our illiteracy 5 per cent, thirty-even thousand Negro school teachers are training our youth and twenty-three Negro college presidents join with many other educational leaders in striving heroically to lift the load with a host of doctors, lawyers and ministers to assist. The Only Remedy "The same medicine that it has taken to save the other races from their affliction of sin and ignorance, it will take to save the Negro. The only remedy that has ever yet been discovered by finite beings are religion, education thrift and industry. Negroes Feel. Wound us and we will bleed; fatally so and we will die; crush our spirits and our hearts ache and with anguish ed souls we suffer on. We are not strangers to natural affections. It is not mere imitators that we also stand a tearful interval where earth opens briefly that it may close forever above the form of those we love; we, as do all racers, with anxious eyes and straining ears look and list toward the awesome mystery which lies beyond. What a blessing it would be if only the universe were flooded with such characters as Dr. Cady, who preached the Christ-like doctrine, not black man down and white man up; but rather no man down and all men up, aud who closes the door of hope in the face of no man but would have all rise."—The Daily Times, Dubuque, Iowa. TRUE FACTS. Normal, Ala., June 16, 1906.--In a statement sent out from Boston to the country it is charged that Prof. W. H. Council, president of A. and M. college, located at this place, for the training of colored boys and girls, mistreated the Rev. R. C. Ransom, of Boston, because Dr. Ransom had been ejected from a Pullman car and mistreated by some Southern white men. If this was true President Council deserves the censure of the civilized world. I desire to give the true version of the whole affair, because I was present and was the first to call on Mr. Ransom after his arrival here, hence I am in a position to give the facts in the case. Dr. Ransom came to Normal, on invitation from the President an faculty to deliver an address to the graduates He went to Huntsville, and telephoned the college, and a carriage was ordered to bring him out, which it did. when I heard that he had reached Normal, I went to call on him, and found that he was in bed with his shoes, cost and hat on. I spoke to him; as I have known him a number of years. He got up staggering, and told me that he had had some trouble on his way here and was upset, therefore wanted some milk I sent for the milk for him, and told him to undress and go to bed, but he went back to bed as before only removing his hat and ulster. Later the officers of the Alumni called on him, and finding him intoxicated they recommended that he be excused from delivering the address. He was excused and the amount of money which had been agreed upon was paid him. He was informed that he could have a carriage whenever he desired it to carry him to the city. He got himself together and left for Huntsville, taking the first train from there for home. President Councill did not know anything about the trouble he had had en route to Normal, until after he had been excused from delivering the address, hence did not act on that but excused Dr. Ransom because he had returned to his old habit—he was drunk. There was nothing else for Mr. Coun Price, Five Cents. eiligent recog- for the ter. for distinc- a race of the cill to do, and if Dr. Ransom had been allowed to to speak in his condition, President Council would have been censured, so you may see the position in which he was placed and allow truth to get a hearing through your columns.

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 frieds 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. WASHINGTON, IOWA, NOTES Ralph Motts and Theo.

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 sys tem to a healthy condition within a day or two.

"I wish to inform you that the Curticula Remedies have put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot, and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it grew. Durrant could get rough and form like scales, but it could be cracked, inflamed and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. When I think of his suffering it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard down stairs. The suffering of my son made me full of misery. I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor could I sleep. One doctor told me that my son's scars was incurable, and gave it up for a bad job. One evening I saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Curticula and decided to give it a trial. I tell you that Curticula Ointment is used and used the first box of Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Curticula Soap, Ointment and Resolvent we were old. His skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Schmann, 7 Summer Avenue, Brooklyn, M. Y., April 16, 1905." ETRAY SQUIRRE Dick—So Katherine turned Chloy down with a thump?

Many a good resolution quickly runs down at the heel. A pretty girl can teach a man most anything but good common sense. It pays to look a mule in the face when you have anything to say to him. About half of the things bought on credit would not be bought if cash were demanded. Have you noticed that the bottom of a cup of joy that runs over is seldom far from the top? It's a good deal better to think poetry to write it, and better to write it than to print it. Suggesting Safe Course. McFibb-That fellow Huskie called me a lark! Newitt—Yes? "Yes.

There's such a thing as falling out by sheer force of gravity.—Puck. KNOWS NOW Doctor Was Nooled by His Own Case for a Time. It's easy to understand how ordinary people get fooled by coffee when doctors themselves sometimes forget the facts. A physician up akis of his own experience: "I had used coffee for years and really did not exactly believe it was injuring me although I had palpitation every day. Finally one day I served and all most fatal attack of heart trouble frightened me and I gave up both tea and coffee, using Postum instead and since that time I have had absolutely no heart failure except on one or two occasions when I trie a small quantity of coffee which caused severe irritation and prove to me I must let it alone. "When we began using Postum it seemed weak—that was because we did not vipie it according to three rules, but instead it sat in the pit when boiling and allow the Postum to boil full 15 min each which gives it the proper rich flavor and the deep brown color. "I have advised a great many of my friends and patients to leave of coffee and drink Postum, in fact I daily give this advice." Name gives by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mt. Many thousands of physicians use Postum in place of tea and coffee in their own homes and prescribe it to patients. "There's a reason." A remarkable little book. "The Road to Westville" can be found to clean. 9. Sounds of girls are sent out into the world with what is called finished education, who cannot even give a proper recipe for money, to any nothings of drawing a promissory note, a draft or a bill, or understanding the significance and importance of business contracts. A woman, written O S. Marden, in Such Success Magazine presented a check for payment "to the paying teller of her bank. He passed it back to her with the request that she be kind enough to indulge it. The lady wrote on the back of the check "I have done business with this bank for many years, and I believe it to be all right. Mrs. James B. Brown." Another society woman in New York presented a check for payment at the bank, and the teller told her that it was not signed. "Oh, do they have to be signed?" she responded. "What an awful lot of red tape there is about the banking business." I know of a lady whose husband made a deposit for her in a bank and gave her a check book so that she could pay her bills without annoying him. One day she received a notice from the bank that her account was overdrawn. She went to the bank and told the teller that there must be a mistake about it, because she still had a lot of checks left in her book. She knew so little about the business that she could keep drawing any amount until the checks were all gone. This sounds ridiculous and almost laughable, yet may make the very girl who laughs at it make more than absurd blunders. Many an accomplished woman, when given a pen and asked to sign an important document drawn up by an attorney or a long-headed business man, will sign it without reading it or even to be informed of its contents, only to learn afterwards by disastrous results that she has signed away her property and turned herself out of home. Only a short time ago I read of a lady who had won a suit involving about $20,000. New evidence, however, was brought forward, which caused the court immediately to reverse its decision. It was proved that the lady had sworn falsely. She was perfectly innocent of any such intention, but she sworn that she had never signed her name to a certain document. The document was produced, and, to her utter attentuation, she saw her signature敏 to it. She acknowledged at once that the signature was hers, although she had just sworn that she had never signed the paper in question. It appeared that, during her husband's lifetime, whenever papers were signed, he told her where to write her name, and she did as she was told, without having the slightest idea of one contents of the papers. Some Dogs Are Lucky. A big touring car rolled up to the entrance of a roadside "hotel" over in Jersey one day later with two men on the front seat and two women and a beautiful cocker spaniel in the tonneau. One of the men ordered some drinks for the party, and as they sat refreshing themselves, relates the New York Press, the spainel made it known that he also was thirsty. "He wants a drink," cooed one of the women. "Well, how about it?" remarked the man who was driving the machine to the German waiter. "Vait a minute," replied that functionary, and he disappeared behind the swinging doors leading to the barroom. Presently he emerged carrying a tin drink shaker filled with water. The cocker barked his appreciation and scrambled up on the seat nearest to the point where the waiter was holding the tin vessel. When the dog had finished drinking one of the women opened her purse and handed the waiter a half dollar. He made more out of that order than its employer had for the other drinks. Not so bad to be a waiter sometimes. Popular G. A. B. Charm Three veterans, hale and hearty despite their thin hair and their white beards, were lunching together. "Do you see this?" said the first, and he held his watch charm—a ball of dull metal set in a square of gold. "Do you know that is that? Is this the bullet they took from my left arm at Bull Pun." The second veteran displayed his charm—a metal ball set in a gold cross. "This," said he, "is the bullet they took out of my leg at Gettyburg." He sighed. "The bullet they took out," he said, "but not the limp." The third veteran's charm was a limp set in a ring of brilliants. "Out of my head," said he. From sanguine San Francisco comes ward of a common diet of bacon and eggs. It is the diet that does things. American wildernesses have been conquered, cities begun and mines opened on bacon with or without eggs. Armies have marched on the same ractions, bringing relief to friends and trouble to foes. The frying of the fitch, as an essential incident of life on the plains and in the forest, throws savory suggestion from the pages of pioneer story and history so numerous in the western states. An Oklahoma historian raises the question whether men of the European race saw that country before John Smith landed at Jamestown. Doubtless they did not, since De Soto did not so go far west and Coranado hardly so far east. But the white man has been making up for lost time by getting into the garden patch of America with both feet, and to the number of nearly 1,000,000 in the last 16 years, and he is there to increase and multiply, and he is doing so year by IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth Pick County Justice Causes Trouble at Des Moines. Des Moines—Justice J. L. Livingston has entirely broken up the shot machine business, as he stated he would do two weeks ago. Cigar stores, grocery stores, drug and all other kinds of stores are now mining the attraction. Evidence had been secured by the Rayville justice warranting the arrests of many prominent dealers in the city on charges of conducting gambling houses. The crusade against the machines was started on Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock when W. F. Gabrio, a street was served with a search warrant. Two consoles under the direction of Justice Livingston raided the place. Fifteen minutes later every store in the city which ran the machines had consigned them to the basements or deserted rooms out of reach of the consoles. This form of gambling was checked within fifteen minutes of receiving the "tip" that the justice meant business and stopped the running of their machines. "I said two weeks ago," said Jae Jicee Livingston, "that if the information was given me with the necessary evidence to convict I would stop the slot machine gambling in Des Moines. The business men thought I was bluffing and paid no attention to it. I said it was just a lie, but I received an effectual check today and I am now informed that there is not a slot machine running in the city. I do not mean to stop with this. Every place in the county they will be put out of commission or arrest and prosecutions will follow. "This is not simply a grand stand play. The stores will not be persecuted and will be placed within a few days, as long as I remain an officer of the peace in the county this form of gambling must stop." FEUD AT BLOOMFIELD. Prominent Citizens Involved in Street Fight. Bloomfield—With the flight of ex-Sheriff Curry from Bloomfield, the sensational Horn-Goodson-Curry feed is temporarily stopped, but County Attorney Goodson has promised Curry a United States warrant if he ever returns to Bloomfield and the trouble is not ended. All parties are armed and it has only been by the greatest effort that shooting has not occurred the past few days. The quarrel started when Fred Horn and Curry met near the Wabash depot, one armed with a revolver and the other with a shot gun. A letter Curry is alleged to have written to Horn's wife's sister. Curry denied the charge of sending improper epistles to the women and a tragedy was narrowly averted. In the afternoon Horn caused the arrest of ex-Sheriff Curry on the charge of assault. Curry asked that the case be continued until by County Attorney Goodson, who called Curry a "paller dog" and other hard names. After supper Goodson appeared on the streets armed with a large Colt's revolver evidently in search of Curry. Curry managed to knock the man down without giving him a chance to fire. Goodson was speedily disarmed and the calling for help. Curry absence has stopped the trouble for the time being. Council Bluffs Team Wins. Clinton.—A crowd of 15,500 saw Jack and Jim, the Council Bluffs fire team, the half mile paid fire department free-for-all, the principal event of Thursday at the state firemen's tournament in this city, for which a purse of $700 was bung up.

Iowa City—Peter Cook, after chasing his divorced wife around town with an open knife threatening to kill her and her friend, Mrs. James Lucas, was arrested in hiding. Mayor Ball faced him under bonds to keep the ACCIDENTALLY HUNG HIMSELF Unusual Experience of a Des Moine City Employe. Des Moines—John O'Brian, an em ployee of the city, narrowly escaped hanging while trimming trees between Locust and Grand Avenue on East Seventh street. O'Brian was as injured injury, his face was being hit by a tree by his body. He was taken by friends to Dr. W. A. Guild, office, where his wounds were dressed. It is expected that he will reac- fer from the injury. O'Brian was working with John Koerner in tree care. They had decided to cut down a lilim on a big maple tree. Fearing to allow the big trunk to drop of its own accord the two men tied a half inch rope around it near the center and passed it up over a higher limb. The other end of the rope was left hanging to the ground. O'Brian climbed the tree and with a saw commenced to cut off the dead limb. Suddenly the branch gave way. Kauffman, who was standing on the ground, had failed to fasten the loose end of the rope and without warning neck and he was suddenly jerked into the air. For a second he did not know what had happened to him. His breathing was cut off. He realized that he was hanging, and if something was not done at once to save him he would die the same as a man on a gullow. His presence of mind he reached around the trunk of the tree and grabbing the rope which held the severed limb, pulled up on it sufficiently to save him from choking to death. Kauffman hurried up the tree and in a few minutes relieved his companion from his perilous position. O'Brian's nose was broken in the accident and his face and neck where the rope wrapped around him. He was bleeding badly when taken to the ground. BANK IN RECEIVER'S HANDS Accounts of Institution Said To Be Badly Muddled. Clearfield.-The Farmers' State bank of Clearfield has been closed by the state bank examiner. Its books are in bad shape and the actual condition of the institution will not be known for some time. There is no evidence that the funds have been deposited in positions and liabilities are not properly accounted for and a receiver will endeavor to disentangle the mixup. George Green, who had been cashier of the institution for the past year, has been on account of troubles the institution had encountered. O. C. Hill has had charge of the institution since that time and it is said that the discrepancies were discovered by Mr. Hill. The original stock was $25,000, and deposits amounted to about $15,000, with about $16,500 bills receivable. After the change of cashiers the bank seemed to be all right, until lately things began to show up that had not been known. Wiley Mix the bank books show $400. Lately, some $25,000 liabilities have turned up, so it is reported, that were not known to exist. Notes for large gums are found that the alleged makers deny they ever signed. FAVOR SUNDAY CLOSING Christian Endeavors Vote to Sup port Minister. Des Moines.—The Christian Endeavor or City union in session at the Greenwood Congregational church last evening passed a resolution denouncing Sunday baseball, Sunday theater among others. The action is directly in the line with the action already taken by the members of the Grant Park Church of Christ. While as yet no definite line of action has been outlined it is believed that injunction proceedings will be the most practical. The Sunday closing of all kinds of amusements bids fair to spread over the entire city seems probable. The movement against Sunday baseball and Sunday theaters started among other groups of the city of Christ. These people are especially disturbed by the baseball games which are played near their house of worship. Rev. R. Tibbs Maxey, pastor of the Grant Park church and Rev. Emory Miller of the Ashbury-Medford church, said they intend to visit every pastor in the city and request support. BOOSTER'S SCRATCH IS FATAL Grundy County Pioneer is Victim of Ploed Poisoning Ackley.—Christian Becker, for 50 years a resident of Grundy county, is dead from blood poisoning growing out of a wound inflicted by a rooster. Mr. Becker had gone to the barn yard to catch a fowl and in doing so received a scratch in the palm of the hand.

COAXING THE AUTOMOBILE An automobile stood in front of a gasoline supply station over in Jersey a few days ago and, of course, the usual crowd assembled to take a look at the show. Among the spectators, says the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, was an old farmer, who walked all around the machine and interestedly watched every movement of the chauffeur. As soon as the gasoline was procured and stowed away the chauffeur turned the crank to start the spark, and a moment later the auto was hiked down the pike at a pace that made the country constables sit up and take notice. It was then that a gleam of satisfaction appeared on the sun-scorched visage of the ancient agriculturist. The unterbites is great inwention all right, he remarked to a bystander, "but her geezer what got 'em up had her take a tip from us hayseeders to her ter make them blamed things go, jesher same." "Put me wise," said the party addressed. "I will to catch your meaning." "Waal," rejoined the farmer, with his smile still beaming, "when any of us heckers has got an old cow what gits got contrary an' won't go through a gate or in a barn door, we just twits to the couple of 'turns, an' off she hustles." Pope's Golden Rose The Golden Rose with which the pope is presenting Princess Ena of Battenberg on the occasion of her marriage to the king of Spain, which is the highest honor the pope can confer on a Catholic princess, is a mimic plant of pure gold in a golden pot whereon are emblazoned the papal arms. It has leaves, buds and flowers, the leaves being set with small jewels in imitation of dewrops. In the central flower is a tiny receptacle in which is contained a small palm leaf blessed by the pope. What John Paul Said. After the great fight in which John Paul Jones in the Bonhomme Richard made splinters and aroids of the British vessel Serapis, the English government generously decided that, though vanquished beyond a question, the captain of the lost vessel had behaved with becoming bravery and do good to the crew of the modore. John Paul Jones heard of this promotion and its cause and said: "Well, by George, if I ever meet that chap again I'll make him an admiral."

Admita Breaking Anti-Trust Statute Chicago.-Fines amounting to $20, 600 and costs aggregating $5,000 are to be paid by the International Harvester company for breaking the Arkansas law. The corporation admitted it violated the anti-trust laws of the state of Arkansas. The amount of liability was a compromise and was arrived at in a conference at the Wesley hospital, where Attorney Henry Armisted is recovering from an operation. Mr. Armisted is the legal representative of the trust at Little Rock. The settlement marked the termination of proceedings instituted in this city last Wednesday by Attorney Robert L. Rogers, of Arkansas, by which he was acquitted before Lyle D. Taylor. The latter was appointed a special commissioner to hear testimony in the case. The "exclusive contract clause" forbidding agents to handle anything but the agricultural implements manufactured by the trust formed the basis of the harvester prosecution. The company admitted that this clause was in their contracts. It also admitted that it existed in he contracts for some time after an extremely stringent anti-trust law was passed in Arkansas in March, 1905. The attorney general of the southern state had evidence that the trust had conducted business in Arkansas for 100 days in violation of the law—or, according to some evidence, 120 days. The case one against the International Harvester company and the other against the International Harvester company of America. Each corporation, under the compromise, admitted to doing business in violation of the law for 50 days. The fine is $200 a day, making a total fine of $20,000.

The judge presiding, before being called to the bench, had tried many cases against Jewett, who did not entertain a very high opinion of his ability, relates the Boston Herald. In his closing argument Jewett, in refence of the rules of the court, started in to read some law to the jury. The court pounded on the bench and "Mr. Jewett, you must not read law to the judge your closing argument." Jewett kept on reading without so much as a glance at the court. The court, in thunderous tones, ordered him to stop. Jewett, who had by this time read all he intended to read, turned calmly to the judge and said: "Did your honor address me?" "I said," roared the judge, "you must not read law to the jury in your closing argument. I will give the law to the jury. What do you suppose the court is here for?" "What is the court here for?" responded Jewett, in high falsetto. "I suppose you know, sir, to keep order, with the aid of the sheriff, sir, with all due respect to the sheriff, sir."

Plant to ship by Boat If Car Companies Do Not Lower Rates—Navigation on the Missouri Kansas City, Mo.-If the plans of Kansas City merchants who are not satisfied with the rates charged by the railroads do not go awry steamboating on the Missouri, long regarded as a lost occupation, will be resumed. The Missouri has a reputation for being steamboat graveyard. In one bend of the river not far below this city eight steamers went down in two years in the palmy days before the railroad. The river channel is always shifting, and this leaves sand bars and mugs to catch even the most skillful plots. A man may be thoroughly familiar with the channel on the down voyage, but by the time he gets back on the return the main stream may be running a quarer of a mile distant from its old bed. Steamboating received its death-blow when the insurance companies refused to issue risks upon any of the boats. Inasmuch as the boats cost all the way from $40,000 to $75,000, one has been found to engage in steamboating on the Missouri in uninsured vessels, although under the tight and passenger schedule it required to about four round trips to get back to the port. There is still a big fleet of boats going out of St. Louis every week. Kansas City wholesalers have been trying to induce some of these steamboat men to run between Kansas City and St. Louis, but they won't do it. They advise the jobbers to buy a boat and operate it. Their objections are no longer founded on the condition of the river, but upon commercial conditions. They could not exact an arbitrary rate from customers as in the days before the steamboat was built, the tomer was secured for a steamboat the railroads would lure him away with lower rates. Several years ago Kansas City jobbers got unassayed the railroad rate situation and started three boats in competition. The railroads reduced rates as long as the stockholders kept the boats going, but when they tired of a losing investment and sold out rates began again to creep up. The new plan is to build but one boat and use that as a club not to make the railroads reduce rates, but also to keep them down. As long as rates were satisfactory the boat would remain tied up. When they went upward the boat would be put into service. Just now the men behind the project are figuring how to fix it so that they can't lose. Under the three boat plan it was often found that stockholders insisted upon loading freight and their own low freight and letting high rate freight that belonged to others lie upon the wharf. Engineers have been at work and have reported that the Missouri is not so dangerous as it once was. Navigation has improved, boatmen know more and are less reckless, and the engineers have found ways to avoid the treachery of the river in many instances. There is seven set of bridges across the City to St. Louis, and a 500-ton boat that would draw 26 inches of water when empty and no more than six feet when loaded will fill the bill. CARRIED LETTERS FREE. Postal Record Broken After the Dis aster at San Fran- d New York.—One thing about the San Francisco earthquake and fire which interests government employees is the fact that for the first time since the civil war Uncle Sam disregarded entirely the post office regulations. On the morning of the earthquake and for several days afterward people wrote letters and mailed them wherever they could, and the post office employees took to it right ahead, collected them and sent ahead without postage. Letters were written in pencil on scraps of paper, cuffs, collars and bits of gloves, but all went. There is a regulation of the post office department that any soldier or sailor in active government service may have a letter franked through without postage by his officers and it will be delivered, but the recipient must pay the postage upon delivery at the regular rate. The civil war there was considerable confusion in the matter of franks. Sometimes the recipient paid, and sometimes a missive marked "Soldier's Letter" went through without pay at the other end. But since then Uncle Sam never delivered any considerable body of mail free up to the time of the San Francisco earthquake. It measures the extent of this calamity, the confusion into which a great city was thrown, the post office said have cut its red tape in this particular. No regulations covered the matter; it was a plain case of horse sense on the part of Postmaster Fiske and his assistants. The heads of the branch post offices in New York were puzzled to know whether to deliver these letters without payment or in order to exact payment or in order to commit the case of the sollier letters. In most cases they let San Francisco letters go free. The Captain's Finish. Although not noted as being in a locality of extremely low mortality, League Island navy yard has a record of only three deaths during the past 15 years. A remarkable coincidence is that the three men who have died during that time held the rank of captain of the yacht during the death and all were suddenly in the big yellow that is known among the bluejackets and marines in Uncle Sam's service the world over as the "Captain's snail." AMERICANS ARE PAINT USER It has been remarked that the American people consume more paint, both in the aggregate and per capita, than any other people in the world in a recently published article on the subject it was figured that our yearly consumption is over 100,000,000 gallons of paints of all kinds, of which one-half is used in the paintings of houses. The reason for this great consumption is twofold: a large proportion of our buildings, especially in small towns and rural districts, are constructed of wood, and we, as a people, are given to neatness and cleanliness. For, all in all, there is nothing clearly written of what we travel where we will throughout the country, everywhere we find the neat, cheerful painted dwellings, proclaiming at once the prosperity and the self-respect of our population. Fifty years ago this was not so; painted dwellings, while common in the larger cities and towns, were the exception in the rural districts; because, on the one hand, a large proportion of those buildings were temporary makeups, and, on the other hand, because paint was then a luxurious and difficult to obtain in the middle of the country, requiring special knowledge and much preparation to fit it for use. The introduction of ready mixed or prepared paints, about 1860, changed the entire aspect of affairs. As the Jack-of-all-trades told the Walking Duggee in one of Octave Thanet's stories, "Anyone can slather paint." The insurmountable difficulty with our predecessors was to get the paint ready for "slathering." That the country was ready for paint in a convenient, popular form is shown by the painting of the furniture and its phenomenal growth in 50 years from nothing to 60,000,000 gallons—the estimated output for 1900. Some pretty severe things have been written about and said against this class of paints, especially by painters and manufacturers of certain kinds of paint paints. Doubtless in many instances these strictures have been justified and some fearfully and wonderfully constructed mixtures have in the past been worked off on the guillotine consumer in the shape of prepared paint. But such products have and their short day and quickly disappeared, and the too much pain they manifested that produced them have come to grief in the bankruptcy courts or have learned by costly experience that honesty is the best policy and have reformed their ways. The chief exceptions to this rule are some mail order houses who sell direct to the country trade, at a very low price—frequently below the wholesale price of linedseed oil. The buyer of such goods, like the buyer of a "gold brick," has only himself to blame if he finds his purchase worthless. With gold selling at any bank or mint at a fixed price, owners of linedseed oil can sell it with linedseed oil quoted everywhere at, 50 to 70 cents a gallon, manufacturers do not sell a pure linedseed oil paint at 30 or 40 cents a gallon. The composition of prepared paints differs because paint experts have not yet agreed as to the best pigments and because the daily results of tests on a large scale are constantly improving the formulas of manufacturers; but all have come to the conclusion that the essentials of good paint are pure lined oil, the grinding and through incorporation, and in these particulars all the products of reputable manufacturers must be tested before prepared paints are thoroughly mixed and ground and the liquid base is almost exclusively pure lined oil, the necessary volatile "thinners" and Janan dryers. The painter's opposition to such products is based largely on self-interest. He wants to mix the paint himself and to be paid for doing it, and to a certain class of painters it is no recommendation for a 'paint' to say that it will last five or ten years. The longer a paint lasts the longer he will have to wait for the job of repainting. The latter consideration has no weight to the consumer, and the format is idle. The painter needs a tool and labor can be as cheap or as efficient as machine work, and every time the painter mixes paint, did he but know it, he is losing money, because he can buy a better paint than he can mix at less than it costs him to mix it. Prepared paints have won, not only on their actual merits, but on their convenience and economy. They are comparatively cheap and they are incomparably handy. But when all is said, the experienced painter is the proper person to apply even a ready mixed paint. He knows better than anyone else when "when" and "how" the difference between painting and "slathering" is much greater than it appears to a novice. Everyone to his trade, and after all painting is the painter's trade and not the householder's.

The body as a wireless telegraph transmitter and receiver was recently displayed by Prof. Ovtingon, of Boston. He performed a number of experiments with high potential and high frequency currents, substituting his assistant's body for the usual vertical conductor. The current from the chine passed through the body, whence the energy was radiated as waves in the ether. The potential and frequency of the oscillations were much in excess of those employed commercially, and hence the waves radiated were as speedily short. They Wanted to Be Heroes "Every man," said Whighams that evening at the dinner table, "ought to be a hero in his wife's eyes. If he fails to make good in this particular he is—" "He's a dead one," said Conover. "I agree with you." "The big difficulty is," continued Whighams, "that opportunities to show that a fellow is made of the same material as the man in their life we lead. There is nothing startling in being a designer of apartment buildings or a dealer in desirable real estate. What the women like is something showy, something spectacular. And I hold that the showy kind of heroism is the poorest brand on the market." "A man needs to be a policeman or a coast guard really to fascinate a woman," said Conover. "There's no chance for us. They caught Mrs. Conover's eye. They they laughed aloud. "Don't you worry," said Conover's wife. "You'll both get your chances." And they did get them that very night. At 12:15 a. m. Conover was awakened from a deep sleep by the wife of his bosom, who was saying: "John, what is that awful noise? Is it a fire whistle? O-o-o! And do you hear that dog howling? John!" She squeezed his arm. "It makes me afraid!" She listened. "Toot, toot, toot, toot!" long drawn out and mournful. "It can't a fire," said Conover. "It's a boat. She must be in distress and pretty close in shore." In five minutes they were dressed and creeping down the stairs. As they passed the Whighams' door a voice arrested them. "What's up?" Whighams asked. In two minutes more the Whighams had joined the relief party. The four of them hurried up Sherdan road to the north. Sure enough, as they looked out into the darkness that covered the lake, the boat's blue lights. She was close in shore and crying dismally. A policeman they passed asked jovially if they were going to rescue the ship. He thought a shipwreck was a joke and volunteered the information that he had already telephoned the station. There was nothing to do. They stood at the edge of the tumbling lake and allowed the sand to fill their shoes. They wondered what had driven the boat out of her way; if she was going to sink, why she didn't send up rockets, if she carried such things; if they ought to build a beacon fire to tell the hardy mariners where the shore was; what the unfortunate ship's name might be and what a pity that all they could do was to stand still and do nothing. "In other and happier times there might have been chance for us to our mobile," said Conover. "What pity that we cannot man the lifeboat and earn a few Carnegie medals! The boat will be pulled off in half an hour by the tugs. There's no opportunity for us." But there was. It came on a wheelbarrow. The thing on the wheelbarrow was a canoe, a metal canoe about as big and as seaworthy as a tin tub tub. A man was pushing the wheelbarrow through the sand. Whighams and Conover helped him. They ought to have kept their hands off and hurried away with their wives and their reputations, but they didn't. It was the craziest little canoe anyone ever saw. The benedicts helped the man drag it to the water's edge and then—oh, complete fatuousness!—they helped him launch it. Suddenly it became evident that man with the tin tubbath intended to rescue the stranded steamship. Also the man with the tin tubbath and he did not go alone. Perhaps he realized that if there was glory to be won it would not be necessary for him to corner the market. "Say," said the man in the canoe as he picked up his cars, "dont one of you follows want to come along? There's room." Neither Conover nor Whighams spoke. The man in the canoe repeated his question and repeated it again. Afterward Whighams philosophized with himself on the workings of the human mind at such times. He was not afraid. He was sure of that. He simply could not see the use of trying to rescue a 10,000-ton freight steamer by means of a tin cance. The night was black and the water dark, cold and treacherous looking. Besides, he had already lost an hour's sleep and he had to be up early in the morning. He was not in thements were in it anyhow. The man was foolish to go out on the lake that way. The two men on the bench were man. The man in the bathtub dipped his ears, gave a pull and his frail craft began to melt into the darkness. Not a light did he carry and inside of ten seconds the night had swallowed atm. After that nothing happened. The group stood still and watched. The dark, chilly waves rolled fawningly up along the shore, breaking into little whitecaps. The sand continued to leak into their shoes. Was the man in the canoe drowned? At the end of half an hour the prow of the sea-goating boat grated on the sand. The lone navigator was safe, but persisted. She blessed oreboot, said he, "is almost a mile from shore. She is the Brewerton, from Marquette to South Chicago. I'm going to telephone a message from the captain to the company's agent. Water rough? Not a bit. It was a snap." "I don't care," said Mrs. Conover, as they walked home after the tugs had reached the scene. "That man was a hero. Even if the water was smooth, there might have been a storm." "Yes wan't he grand, though?" rewished that I was a man to go out turned the Whighams. "I tell you that with him!" The next morning at breakfast Whighams remarked to Conover be fore their better halves had come down: "We overlooked a little easy money last night"—Chicago Daily News GIRLS WANTED.

I could not continue to build up my general health and the tumor seemed to be absorbed, until, in seven months, the tumor was entirely gone and I a well woman. I am so thankful for my recovery that I ask you to publish my letter on newspapers, so other women may know of the underworld curtailing powers of Lydia E. Pinkham's Veggie's Conspound.

When they talk about race prejudice and other things and when you are put face to face with it, it is a trying ordal; such was our experience in Red Oak. Having tried to secure locking for one eight only, about 10:00 o'clock Thursday evening we walked about two hours trying to find some one to keep us over alight, either private or in a hotel, most of the colored people were crowded and could not accommodate us, so were the hotels, at least when a black face would appear seeking lodging. Findly one of the largest and finest hotels in the city decided to give us lodging a the highest price, namely, $50, which was very fine. We the Johnson hotel. While we have no legal resource, yet we feel a great deal hurt over the matter, to think that we were raised and born in this state, spent our life, and labor here, and yet the public enjoyment is with held from us. From there we went into the town of Shenandoah, one of the prettiest towns in south-western Iowa. There are only three colored families living here, and they are all readers of the Bystander. Each of them own their homes, with plenty of fruit trees and in a good location of the town, Mr. K. P. Caldwell owns a beautiful home in the business center of the town; he is a porter in the hotel sdh and an intelligent gentleman to meet. His wife cavahaves for Buckton. She is a sister of L. K. Signor of this city, Mr. L. K. Collins who works for the state maltita is doing well and saying his money. His wife has a yard full of chickens and ducks. They are a young couple and will in the future be well fixed at the rate they are going. Mr. T. W. Griggsia is also an industrious man. He owns several lots in the city and has many cherry and peach trees on his lot. Council Bluffs was our next step. You will find the people doing about the same as reported twelve months ago, except Mr. Davis runs a saloon and has bought out Mrs. Powell's restaurant. A man by the name of Johnson of Chicago has bought a part interest. They are in a good location, one block north of the Illinois Central North-Western depot on Main street. The restaurant is on the first floor and they are doing a good business. They are nice business men to meet. Mr. M. G. Newman, who formerly lived in our city, is the pastor of the A. M. E. church and is doing a good and much needed work. He h.s.bought ground and built a church and are now worshiping in the basement of it. The corner stone having been laid a few weeks ago by Rescue and other Masonic lodges. It is located on the corner of Sixteenth street and Avenue H. It will cost about $1100 when completed. If they can raise $500 more they will have it paid for up to date. Rev. L. P Giles is pastor of the Baptist church and is well liked. Rev. Giles has just signed a contract for the purchase of a lot, and has about $20 in the treasury to ray on it and they intend to build. So you see the race is trying to move upward and forward. Mr. Giles is a young man and is working hard in the interest of his church. Mr. G. W. Levit is a good business man, and is keeping a rooming house. Mrs. Graves is still in the hair dressing business on Main street. Across the "black mudy" into the metropolis of Nebraska, the once desert of the America plain, but now one of the most prosperous cities in the Union, the city of Omaha, which boasts of having packing houses and manufacturing industries of any city of the middle west, except Chicago. They have about 7,600 colored people of which many are doing well. They have lawyers, doctors, real estate men and business men, many of whom I cannot name in this article. The Enterprise is the colored newspaper of Nebraska, edited by M. T. P. Mahamitt, that fearless race man. Many of the colored men own nice homes. Mr. Tibb Stiers runs a first class restaurant, perhaps in the city for our people. They have seven colored churches—three Baptists, two Methodists, one Episcopal and one Mission. The Episcopal church is pastored by Father Williams, one of the ablest young men in the west. The Episcopalians have valuable church property and a nice residence for their minister. The St. Joe's A. M. E. is pastor by Rev. Wilson of Kansas, a man of age and intelligence and a good church worker. The attendance of the Sunday School and other societies are large. The Baptist church is the largest church, his pastor is the largest keeper. A. J. Bingham, formerly from Iowa, a man of intelligence and will be in our city to attend the Western Baptist Association of which we will give more in the future. The membership has doubled since he took charge about three years ago. They have 125 attending Sunday School and 105 in B. Y. P. U. There are more than twenty colored pupils in the Omaha High School, two graduated this year, Blanch Wade and Harvey Saunders; Oleteha Burrell will graduate next year. Several are employed in the post office. E. S. Cleian is a good clerk and has been in the post office twenty years; D. E. McCarrary is another good clerk. The carriers are W. E. Freeman, J. W. Parker, and Henry Black. Mr. Tieris in the Custodian department. John Saunders, Paul Murrow, Miss Jesse Watkins and Mrs. Nettie Kellog are also employed in the post office. Mr. S. Scott Jackson is in the supply department and is a good race man. He has been in Nebraska nearly all his life and is one of the oldest citizens in that company. Those who work in the court house are Benny Plume and John Wheeler. Leo nard Nelson is the Mayor's messenger. T. P. Mahimitt is the city inspector of weights and measure and makes a good man for the place. They have two colored policemen, Emery Smith and Nook Thomas. Mr. B. J. Jones owns some valuable houses and lots in the city. Mr. H. K. Hillon is one of the successful toorsilent artist and runs a neat four-chair shop on 24th and Cummins街. Mr. Granvall Jackson is messenger for the Omana National bank of which Senator Joseph Willard is president. He has been there for many years, John Hardy one of our Des Moines boys is married and doing nicely. He is still working at the photograph business. Time will not permit us to say more about this busy town. We next came to Sioux City, it is about the same, except Mr. Washington has disposed of his grocery stock but still owns his blacksmith shop.
