It is oftener answered in actions which prove the same rather than in words which are quickly spoken and soon forgotten. Let my work speak, which has always been seen and known by those who have eyes to see and ears to hear. As a race, and as representatives we have no time for foolishness. I am a race man if you have anything to do for the race. I am a race man if you are an optimist. I am a race man if you will eliminate selfishness. I am a race man ready to help the needy, and encourage those who want to be men and women. If I can help any member of the race, come to me as men and women and come in a business way.

Wharton of Charlina, S. Joe Brown of Des Moines, Miss Hatte London of Buxton, Mrs. Ruth Bright of Davenport and W. L. Lowery of Cedar Rapids, reported a completely new set of by-laws which after much discussion and a few amendments were adopted by the convention. The principal new features of the by-laws are as follows: The change of the name of the organization to that of "District Sunday School Convention and Normal Institute" instead of "Friday Sunday School Convention"; the limiting of the membership to pastors, superintendents and teachers; the extension of the length of the session from two to three days and the raising of the assessment from three to five cents per capita. The afternoon of the first day was largely taken up by the lecture on "Bible Study" by S. Joe Brown of Des Moines, president of the Normal Institute. At 5 o'clock on Thursday afternoon the convention adjourned and the members were conveyed by Mr. L. F. Montgomery and son (Clarinda's leading livermen who by the way are negroes) to the spacious residence of Mr. Thomas Gordon Jones, another Negro, who is one of Page county's most prosperous and the entire party, about fifty in number, to a most sumptuous banquet, and seemed to have been prepared for as many as 8 o'clock the Clarinda church and school tendered an elaborate reception to the members of the District Conference and Sunday School Convention at which welcome addresses were made on behalf of the church and school, by Rev.

The greater portion of the second day of the convention was devoted to papers and discussions chief among which were papers on "How May we Keep Young Men in Sunday School," by Miss Australia Carey of Buxton and on "Sunday School Friendship," by Miss Phlaibla Lounfer of Clarinda; and the discussions of "The Teacher Outside the Sunday School," led by S.

"How May We Run a Sunday School so as to Win Souls for Christ," led by Rev. S. McDowell of Boone, and "Are the Members of the A. M. E. Church Doing Their Duty toward the Sunday School," led by Mrs. Matte Warriors of Des Moines. During the afternoon Rev. S. Bates, pastor of the Second Baptist church of Clarinda and Dr. Wm.

J. L. Wharton, and his devoted wife, to whose untiring efforts was due much of the success of the entire affair. Mrs. Culberson, the new president of the Iowa Woman's Federation, was born and raised in Muncie, Ind., where she received her education, having graduated from the Muncie High School in the class of 1889.

Everhart of this city received word last Friday that his father, Benjamin F. Everhart, had died on the preceding Wednesday at the old Soldiers' Home at Leavenworth, Kans. The news came in a letter from the adjutant of the Home, and was as follows: Mr. P. S. Everhart: I am directed by the governor to inform you that your father, Benjamin F. Everhart, 5-0 U. S. c. trooped at the New Hospital at 5:50 p. m., June 6, 1969. Cause of death, cerebral hemorrhage. The funeral will take place at 8 a. m., June 8, 1966, and will be conducted with military honors. Rev. James M. Payne of C. W. Heisler, Adjutant. Leavenworth, Kans, June 7, 1966. Immediately upon the receipt of this letter, Mr. Everhart sent S. G. Hersman to Leavenorth to get the body. Mr. Hersman arrived the morning after the funeral, but had the body dug up and returned with it to Red Oak, arriving Monday to the remembrance day directly to the memorial and interred. Short funeral services were conducted by Rev W. W. Merritt. Benjamin F. Everhart was born in Frankfurt, Ky., November 10, 1842. He enlisted as a soldier in the civil war in Co. E, 60th U. S. Cavalry, his position being that of sergeant. He was discharged at Duvall Bluff, Ark., October 15, 1865, after having served in the war for over two years. A number of years ago he went to the Soldiers' Home at Leavenworth where he has since remained. He leaves besides is son Pearl of the city and her son, Oscar, in Portland, Ore., and daughter, Mary, Campbell, in German-town, Pa. His son Pearl of Red Oak is the owner and manager of one of the largest music and art stores in southwestern Iowa. He at one time ran a large news stand but he has steadily advanced until now he is a success in young men as a father in father, compared to our well known soldier, Charles Richardson. EDITOR'S OBSERVATION. Many Doing Well. Stock Raising and Fantasy Trading Break Race. Prejudice. in the town of Marshallallown, where is located the Iowa Soldiers' Home, in which those noble heroes of the civil war can now spend their declining years in comfort and peace, this home is a beautiful building with many additional buildings, a large campus with plenty of shade trees, an ideal home and many hundred old battle-scarred veterans both colored and white are now enjoying Iowa's hospitality. Here lives about 200 colored citizens. Mr. Richard Wright is one of the oldest and successful citizens. He owns valuable property and a good tensorial shop; however, he is not a farmer. His uncle, Albert Walker, is manager and his brother-in-law, recently from St. Paul, Minn, is assisting him. Mr. Walker is one of the few of our single young men who is saving his money and investing in farm land, hogs, etc. He has several head of thoroughbred hogs and is helping to solve the scaled race problem. Mr. Geo. Suiter holds the best place here by a colored man. He is electrical engineer at the city electrical plant and has been there many years. George is an enthusiastic Mason of Iowa. H. H. Flippins, J. H. Johnson, Wn. Warren, Cal. Wheeler with many others are making good citizens and horses. L. L. Brown still has charge of the beautiful city library building. He is a warm-hearted good citizen and a real race man and a Masonic worker. At the beautiful parlor city of Cedar Rapids we next established headquarters. This is one of our leading inland cities. Nearly forty thousand people about 500 of whom are colored are doing well. W. H. Milligan, the successful gardener and bee raiser, is no doubt doing more in Cedar Rapids to solve the so-called race problem than any one citizen in Lincoln county, two miles north of the Rapids and has 10 acres of strawberries, 5 acres of cherries and 5 acres of the smaller fruits; several hundred bee hives, and is considered an authority in bee raising and strawberry growing. He is a true race man, an active church worker and the Grand Master of the Masonic lodge of Iowa. Oh! We wish that there were more such Milligans in the middle west. His industrious wife is indeed a true helpmate. They now have about 35 pickemakers in the next interesting man who is a successful business man is Marshal Perkins, the restaurant man. He has been in business for about 15 years. They have just completed a new modern 8 room house at a cost of $2,000. His wife is indeed a valuable helpmate. Mr. E. D. Marshall is conducting his carpet cleaning and duster shop and is a very busy man. Mr. Perkins is in partnership with him. They are good friends. Mr. E. C. Thomas is still working at his trade and is considered one of the best men in the work shop. Mr. Thomas Jackson is a successful tonsorial artist. Our old friend, Henry Johnson, formerly of Leon, Iowa, is working for him. John Van Camp is working at his old trade and doing nicely. Mrs. R. Thompson is conducting a rooming and boarding house. Rev. P. M. Lewis is the pastor of the A. M. E. church. He says that the work is doing well and he has made many improvements which have added beauty to the church. He has had many years experience in the ministry. Simon Hoyley, Thos. Lowen, Chas. Boone, W. D. Claybrook and Ed. L. Doney are all doing nicely for young men. R. Hicks is working hard. He is doing general work with his team, and has bought himself a new wagon. He is a race man. Into Clinton we next struck camp and as this beautiful little town was in the midst of the Iowa Annual State Fireman's Tournament and a street fair we could get but little news as to the real progress along race lines. Then again we have a very active and punctual energetic agent from this point. We hardly deem it necessary to write much of this town. We first visited the tournament and saw our Des Molnes champion canoese state honors canoeist Bluffs bluffs fourth of a second, who has about 200 colored citizens, most of them doing well and some of the best and most substantial business colored men in Iowa are in business here. Mr. Wm. Hancock, who owns the finest restaurant and ice cream parlor in the city and perhaps in Iowa has been in business 19 years. Mr. McNeal's confectionery and ice cream parlor is the finest confectionary and candy store in Clinton. They make their own goods. Mr. McNeal recently died and his widow is still operating it. Mr. Wm. Allen has a good restaurant. He has recently taken a claim of 160 acres in South Dakota. Others show up. Columbus ample. Mr. F. Columbus owns a grocer store and is doing nicely. There are several others doing well. The Altns Brothers have just started a bus line. They have everything up to date, new hacks, etc. We wish for them success. Miss Stella Bush is a music teacher. Most all her pupils are white. Mrs. A. A. Bush is a successful caterer. Next week we will begin at Davenport. THE 3UXTON PEOPLE. By Prof. L. H. S. Brown, Palmist. On arriving in Buxton on the 23rd day of June, which happened to be Saturday, the first thing that the people told me was that it was pay day, which of course makes that city second to none, especially on that day. I was told that the inn that was their city of course to show me the town. After visiting the different drug stores, grocery stores, millinery stores and prominent restaurants, I was shown over the beautiful Y. M. Price, Five Cents. C. building, postoffice and the Porkkah hotel, it having been my pleasure to have met both Mr. Perkins and his son before. Here I was served a four course dinner and afterwards entertained in the parlor by some of Buxton's rising young musicians. It seemed to be the pride of some of them to go out and get some of their acquaintances and get them into my life that same time in my life that I met some of the ones that take great pride in introducing me as their cousin. I did not have time then to ask and afterwards forgot it but have since wondered if it was a custom in that city to be one's cousin just because you knew him or was it done for protection and another thing I shall never forget is the number of dogs I saw at that time. It would be easy to say that I saw thousands of dogs in that little town. Another peculiarity which came to my notice was on Monday night when I was to lecture at about five minutes to eight I started for the church, where I was to lecture and much to my surprise found only the committee which consisted of eight sisters and one brother of the church. I had expected to commence speaking at a quarter past eight and made my plans known to the committee. They only laughed and said to me that their people would not come out until it was dark in the summer or winter and at no time did they go any place until the Company Store was closed where most all of them congregated just after supper and much to my surprise about 8:30 I saw a large crowd coming up the hill into the church yard. They swarmed and it was almost fifteen minutes before everything was quiet enough to begin speaking, and it was a quarter of nite when they discused and a half on an instrument in the favor of Palmiarty I boughed my head to a hearty applause. I then quietly sat in front of the pulpit and examined the hands of every person in the house that night with much success. I made no attempt while in that city to humble the people nor did I set up any place where they might get to get a better proof of my work for five days in Buxton. I spent no nights beneath the roof of none of their citizens, set suction people in the house to take advantage of them or to bring away any of their hard earned money as I am sure they were a few dollars better off by my presence. But the better off by my presence. But the Mt. Zion Baptist church would not let the sisters of the Mission Circle allow me to speak for the second time in their church because they said they did not know whether they were offending their God or not, nor would they listen to the lecture on the first night. An appeal from the people failed. An appeal from the people all arrangements had been made. The deacons of the Mt. Zion Baptist church seemed to be the only skeptical or superstitious people in the city of Buxton and I wish peace to their bones and greater light to their souls. ALBIA NEWS. Rev.

In a rural town in Michigan lived a family named Beaver, noted for their hardiness in all manner of naughtiness. They were the great torment of the minister's life. Finally, one of the boys was bit by a rattlesnake and sent for him. He found the lad greatly scared and very penitent. After some conversation, the reverend gentleman closed the interview by prayer. "O, Lord," he began, "we thank the rattlesnake. We thank the thee that a rattlesnake has hit him. Send another, we pray thee, to bite thee, and one to bite Joe. And, O Lord, the biggest kind of a rattlesnake to bite the old man; for nothing less than rattlesnakes will bring this Beaver family to repentance."—Metaphysical Magazine. NEW HOMES IN THE NORTHWEST.

"IT SAVED MY LIFE" PRAISE FOR A FAMOUS MEDICINE Mrs. Willadsen Tells How She Tried Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound Just In Time. Mrs. T. C.

Mrs. T.C.Willadsen "Before I wrote to you, telling you how I felt, I had doctored for you on medicines besides, but it all failed to help me. My monthly periods had ceased and I mourned the loss of my backache and bearing down pains, and I was so weak I could hardly keep around.

Washington — Congress completed Friday the executive's legislative programmes and adjourned Saturday. On the eve of adjournment the dif- ference between the house and senate on the important bills pending were adjusted. As a result of the action taken the following measures were laid before the president for his approval: The railroad rate act. The agricultural appropriation bill, including the meat inspection amend- ment. The pure food act. The president signed the railroad rate bill at 11:45 Friday night. It goes into effect in 60 days. New Epoch in Legislation. Had rothring been done this congress these measures would stand out as monuments to the present national administration. In emphatic manner they mark the beginning of a new epoch in federal legislation—governmental regulation on corporations and the invocation of the police power, so to speak, to stay the hand of private greed and protect the pocketbook and the health and general welfare of the masses. In the end the house has had its way mostly regarding the railroad rate bill. Oil-pipe lines remain in the measure as common carriers, but the commodity provision of the bill has been fixed so as to make the prohibition of an alliance between transportation and production apply only to "railroad companies." The railroads cannot own products, and transport their own products, but Standard Oil and the independent oil companies can pipe their own product. The senate yielded on this point because the house refused to give in by an overwhelming vote, and otherwise the whole bill would have died. Senator Tilman contented himself with a severe "coast" of the Standard Oil influence, and then as the one in charge of the measure voted to accept the conference report. The senate gained a part of its contention in a readjustment of the anti-pass feature of the bill which prohibits free transportation to every one save certain employees and their families, and the officials, attorneys, surgeons, etc., of the companies. House Victory in Meat Bill. The meat legislation was a complete victory for the house. The senate agreed to the conference report and the house formally ratified it. There were two points in controversy—the payment for inspection service and the question of putting dates on the labels of cans and packages of meat products. The government will pay the farmers for inspection of the cans, and labels will not require the date of inspection or canning of the contents. In announcing the failure of the senate conference to win on these disputed points, Senator Proctor said the bill accomplished a great deal, inasmuch as it provides for thorough inspection of all meat products and the sanitary regulation of packing plants, and that it will prevent everything by holding out for distinctive features which the public would not accept. He paid his compliments to the packers in strong terms and charged them with having engineered the scheme that created sentiment in favor of making the government pay the cost of inspection. Other senators entered their protest against the provision of the measure, but finally the conference report was adopted. In the house, acceptance of the report was a pure formality. One important new feature of the measure as it passed both houses is an added appropriation of $000,000 to the $3,000,000 for inspection provided in the house amendment. This was brought about by combining the amount originally appropriated to the bureau of animal industry for inspection under the old system with the new permanent appropriation. Pure Food Bill Criticised. The conference report on the pure food bill was adopted by both houses without any change. In the opinion of Dr. Willey and other officials of the agricultural department, it is a good measure as far as the bill is concerned, as far as the county who had charge of the conference report, says that it was not as good as had been hoped for. It is weak in that it does not provide a standard by which drugs, foods and drinks can be measured to determine whether they comply with the law. That implies which under the bill as it will become law must add to their GENERAL PROVISIONS - The railroad rate is based on routes and reasonable joint rates. It makes oil pipe line companies, pannets common carriers and subject to the law. Railways are formed from interstate transportation. Pipe lines are excluded from this provision. RATE CARS - While permitting railways to use private freight cars, it requires fordifolia changes save on 30 days notice. Jurisdiction changes are fordifolia commission to hear complaints of unjust and unreasonable rates, or fix rates that are unable. REBATES - Rebates and other disciplinary measures are fordifolia and subject to penalties. COURT REVIEW - A limited review of the commission may be made by the court, but no injunction, or restraining the enforcement of an order of the commission shall be waived. NO PASEES - Free transportation in the interstate commerce commission is enlarged to so-called commissions at $2,000 annually. already great burden the consideration of cases raising the issue as to whether certain articles of food or drugs contain harmful ingredients, are misbranded or because of their labels violate the pure food law. Canal Type Is Fixed. With the adjournment of congress it is possible to make a survey of the entire field of important legislation enacted during the session. The three most prominent measures already have been referred to, and their genetical origins are well known to the country. Next in point of interest perhaps comes the Panama canal act. The house first declared in favor of the lock canal, by providing that no portion of the money appropriated in the sundry civil bill should be expended on a sea level project. A majority of the senate committee report recommended the bill after a vigorous debate the president's recommendation in favor of a lock type was approved by a vote of 36 to 31. A joint resolution was passed by congress requiring the purchase of supplies and materials for the canal in the American market unless the president shall determine that the bids of the contractors are extortionate or unreasonable. Congress appropriated $24,500,000 for continuing work on the canal, $16,500,000 being deficiency appropriations and $20,000,000 being for work during the fiscal year 1907. In addition to these appropriations steps are being taken to issue the canal bonds authorized by the Spooner act, which may be issued "from time to time" to the extent of $130,000,000. During the present session congress provided that these bonds should have the rights and privileges of other two percent, bonds of the United States and the tax of one-fourth of one per cent, imposed upon bonds deposited to sequestration. The work obligation was imposed upon the canal bonds when used for such security. It was also provided that the deficiency appropriation should be returned to the treasury from the proceeds of the sale of the canal bonds. Statehood Issue Settled. The admission of Oklahoma and Indian territory as a single state was accomplished by the act approved June 16. The act also admits Arizona and New Mexico into the union as a single state, provided that a majority in each of the territories shall vote for joint statehood, "and not otherwise." This bill was the subject of bitter contention, as it had been in former sessions. It passed the house in the form of a bill admitting the four territories as two states. The senate amended the bill by eliminating all provisions relating to Arizona and New Mexico. In consequence, conditional admission of these territories as a state was agreed upon, and after vigorous debate in both houses the conference report was agreed to. After several years of effort on the part of the state department congress at this session passed an act reorganizing the consular service. The consuls general and consuls are grouped by classes, and provision is made for an inspection service consisting of five consuls general at large, with a salary of $5,000 each. No officer in the consular service receiving more than $1,000 is permitted to engage in business or practice law. All fees are to be turned into the treasury. Originally, the higher offices should be filled by promotion only, but this provision was eliminated and the promotion system has been established by the state department without further enactment. Boon in Alcohol Bill. A most important piece of legislation is the removal of the tax upon denatured alcohol. It was strongly opposed by manufacturers of kerosene and gasoline. In the debate it was alleged that, with the tax removed, alcohol could be manufactured and sold cheaper than either kerosene or gasoline and that it would enter into universal use for illuminating, motive power and for uniformity of administration and giving the federal government power to establish quarantines in port cities and supersecede the local and state authorities, has been passed. An employer's liability bill, to meet the demands of the trainmen of the United States, has been placed upon the statute books after years of effort. Greater Aid for Militia. Among the acts affecting the military establishment were those increasing the efficiency of the ordinance department of the army and increasing the appropriation for the militia from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 annually. Congress took a new tack in the naval appropriation bill. Instead of authorizing the construction of the biggest battleship afloat, as first pro- vided by the house, the bill as finally passed authorizes the preparation of plans for such a vessel, to be submitted to congress. The naval act of this year makes small provision otherwise for the increase of the navy. And bill was passed having hasing and browning the punishment of midshipmen guilty of the offense. General legislation during this session included an act prohibiting interstate commerce in spurious or falsely stamped articles made of gold or silver alloy, an act providing for the marking of the graves of confederate soldiers and sailors and an act authorizing the purchase of the five civilized tribes of Indians. The principal legislation affecting the Philippines was an act postponing the operation of the coastwise laws until April 11, 1909; another revising the Philippines tariff, and a third authorizing the purchase of coal claims by the secretary of war. An important measure limiting the 28-hour law so that cattle may be kept in cars 36 hours without unloading. Immigration Bill Fails. Among the important measures that have failed the immigration bill demands first consideration. It failed because a conference committee was not appointed to settle the disagreement between the two houses. After a spirited fight in the house, in which Speaker Cannon criticized the committee's original measure, was passed, with a substitute for the "educational test," which required immigrants to possess the ability to read English or some other language. The house substituted a section providing for a commission to immigration. The bill will command attention when congress recovers in the fall. The bill to prevent contributions by corporations to campaign funds was started in the house. It was forced through the senate by the indefatigable efforts of Senator Tillman. The house leaders refused to let it come up there, although it is understood that the senate would session. The Democrats charge that the republicans want to lay it over until after the congressional elections, in order to get one more chance at the corporation barrel. The Philippine tariff bill is still another notable failure. It was one of the features of the original administration programme, was whipped through the house after a celebrated fight with the insurgents, and eventually landed the office of the senate committee-tee room. It has been allowed to be forgotten for the present. The immunity bill, designed to prevent the recurrence of fascios as attended the prosecution of the Chicago beef cases, passed the house and in January was reported favorably by the senate and the secretary. Ever since then efforts to get it up have failed owing to the objection of some senator or other. It has been a hard session for treaties. The Santo Domingo convention, much desired by the administration, has been kept down by the hostile militia. No action has been taken either on the ties of Picea or Algeastras treaties. Fate of Labor Bills. Bills, most of which were demanded by the leaders of organized labor, have met their fate as follows: 1. The anti-Injunction bill—dead in the judiciary committee. 2. The eight-hour bill, reported from the committee on labor, but not acted upon. 3. The election of senators in congress by direct vote of the people—dead in committee. 4. The publicity of campaign expenses bill, recently reported to the house, but not acted upon. 5. The letter carriers' bill—dead in committee. 6. The bill to regulate the hours of railway traimm—dead in committee. 7. The bill for the relief of the Sioux survivors—dead in committee. 8. The bill for making goods from competing with the goods manufactured by honest labor—dead in committee. outside the line of actual legislation, the present session will be historic through having authorized the investigation that has led to the railroad-coal exposures. Another resolution adopted by the senate will cause an investigation of the alleged grain trust and railroad-elevator combine in the west, that promises to be equally if not more sensational. What Congress Has Spent. The following is given as practically an accurate statement of the disbursements authorized from the public treasury: Sundry civil $238,000.00 District of Columbia 9,000.00 University 7,000.00 Naval 102,000.00 Portifications 5,000.00 Library academy 2,000.00 Persons 140,000.00 Permanent 140,000.00 Government 25,000.00 Public buildings 25,000.00 Indian 9,000.00 Italian 1,000.00 Statehood 5,000.00 Deficiency 15,000.00 General deficiency 11,000.00 Legislative, executive and judi- post office 22,000.00 Miscellaneous 152,000.00 Total $733,000.00 PURE FOOD.

LOVER KILLS; THEN SUICIDES Same Revolver Ends Lives of Young People — Ernest Koehne, Hides near Miss Fischer's Home, Shoots Her as She Passes, and Suicides. Manning.—At 2 o'clock Thursday morning, following the close of the fourth of July celebration, which ended with a dance at this place, occurred the most terrible murder and suicide that has visited this vicinity in years. Ernest Koehne, a young farmer working for August Clausson three miles south of town, shot and killed Miss Lucy Fischer, the 18-year-old daughter of H. F. Fischer, a wealthy farmer living four miles south of town, and then turned his gun on himself and ended his own life. The double tragedy was due to the jealous love of Kochhke for the young woman, and he is supposed to have grown temporarily insane because his wife, Kochhke, was the Fischer is very prominent here, and Kochhke's attentions had been discouraged by both herself and her parents. Kochhke had made every effort to keep company with Miss Fischer, but had only lived in this vicinity short time, and very much is known of her life. And though his acquaintance here was general. The shooting occurred in the yard of the Fischer home south of this city, and was witnessed by neighbors who had accompanied the young woman home and were just turning away from the scene, so their shots rang out in quick succession. Miss Fischer had attended the fourth of July dance at this place, and as the festivities did not break up until an early hour in the morning, was accompanied to her home by neighbors. She bade them good night and stood looking at the house when Koehnke suddenly raised up from the tall grass where he had been hiding, and leveling a revolver point blank at her breast fired. The bullet went directly through her heart, killing her instantly, her body falling almost at the feet of her murderer. She made sure of a minute to make sure that he had accomplished his purpose. Koehnke placed the revolver against his head and blew out his own brains. Omaha, Neb., July 6.—At least six and possibly double that number of lives were lost as the result of the collapse of a boat landing platform at Manawa lake at 10:30 Wednesday night. The accident was due to a rush of people upon the dock in an effort to get a boat to the other side of the lake where the car line terminus is. The dock is three to seven feet deep, suddenly gave way, and a hundred or more men, women and children went into the lake. Great excitement prevailed for a time, but it was thought that all had been rescued, though some were hurt, and later Lena Roschnubm, a young woman from Omaha, died from her injuries. It was not until the work of repairing the dock was begun yesterday morning that it was known that any were drowned. The bodies found yesterday were under the timbers of the dock. A number of persons are still reported missing, and it is feared that their bodies will be found in the wa- Manawa lake is a pleasure resort on the Iowa side of the Missouri river, about seven miles from Omaha, with which it is connected by an electric car line.

St. Petersburg, July 6- Dispatches received here yesterday from Samara state that two regiments garrisoning that import provincial capital had mutinied and presented a series of officers to the soldiers and officers promised to satisfy the service demands if the mutineers would return to duty, but the men replied that they would be satisfied only with compliance with all of their demands. The ferment among the soldiers at Odessa and Sebastopol continues. No inking of the reported rioting and pillaging at Vladivostok has reached the Russian public, but the military authorities, who control the troops, have no force for days any news of conditions as they did of the last uprising there.

He offered a £ note in payment, but was told by the clerk that he had no change. "Oh, keep the change," was the reply; "I'll take it out in contempt."

The two most popular and significant gatherings this year have been the Twenty-fifth Anniversary of Tuskegee Institute and the Golden Jubilee (60 years) of Wilberforce University in Ohio The Jubilee brought together men of renown from everywhere, friends of long standing, students long separated. The occasion was significant as it marked the 50th Milestones of a peoples first endeavor to train for citizenship through mind, heart and hand. The locality lent its charm in making the occasion grand, it beautified the assertion, no more beautiful a spot in this country could be found for an institution adding to its natural beauty, man's work of beautifying. We heard of the expression, "Wilbororete the paradise or America." At each gathering the Galloway Hall which has a seating capacity of 2000 was crowded to its utmost capacity to listen to such noted personages Dr. R. H. Rust, J. T. Jenier, W. O. Thompson, G. P. Benton, Hoon. O. F. Hypex, Bishop B. T. Tanner, C. S. Snuth, G. W. Clinton, W. A. Galloway, president C. N. and I board of trustees; T. W. Ternon, Register of Treasury and Dr. Booker T. Washington. Sunday June 17th was the beginning of the least of good things. At 10:30 A.M. President Guy Patten Beaton of Miami University, Oxford, Ohio preached the baccalaureate sermon, it was full of inspiration, full of hope. At 7:30 p. m. June 17th Bishop B. T. Tanner preached a most logical and elquent sermon, the sermon was known as the "Golden Jubilee Sermon." June 18th at 7:30 p. m. the address to the literary society by Dr. K. H. Rust, son of the first president of Wibereau, also one of the first students. His address was filled with historic facts concerning the University, therefore very interesting. The annual historical and prize contest brought annual a number of struggling girls and boys competing for the prize. They were representatives from Florida to Ariz. I must pause here to speak of the music. The orchestra composed of 24 pieces was said to be the best ever heard at Wibereau. The magnificent choir is surpassed by none in the state of Ohio. Tuesday was the Cap Sheaf dap of the whole session, starting in the morning at 10:30 a.m. President W. O. Thompson of Ohio State University delivered the jubilee address. Many said this was the most address up to this time. While he was speaking Dr. Boozer W. Washington was brought to the platform, five minutes was taken in apposing him after which the speaker. W. O. Thompson who had been speaking thirty minutes said, "Now I must all over again," and he and Senator Forsaker, kenter and Dick who were to have spoken, because of congress, were unable to attend, Bishop Cunion of the A. M. K. Zoon obron filled profitably the time with his logic and eloquence. W. T. Vernon Register of the treasury in an enquête and happy strain brought greetings from President theodore Koeppen, while he talked the audience was spell bound, people listening with their mouths as well as ears, we would supporter they were open. One of the applauded splits of the jubilee, was a message of regret and a greeting from senator Benjamin K. Tullman. Cattley the English writer said, "In every mass of evil as it rolls, there is ever some good improved seeking for deliverance and triumph." At 2:30 Dr. K. E. Washington addressed an audience of about 60 thousand. President Jones was compelled to abandon his programme and arrange with Dr. Washington to have him address the crowd in the open air. The address was a plea statement-like for the consolation of the A. M. E. O. M. E. and A. M. Z. Eunces, he advised that informates, immoral ministers be turned out of the church. The closing words of his address were as follows: "On the completion of his fifth anniversary, the race congratulates Wibertson University and few events of recent years prove more congenial than as people we are destined to succeed than the fact that a great annuity, like this can exist under the leadership and guidance of black men for half a century, as we depart from these scars and historic grounds let us do so with a firm and new resolve that we shall give our lives with renewed zeal to the furtherance of the highest interests of the share race. In this acting, we shall stand magnificently by the men who have built so wisely and successfully in the past, and are to make Wibertson a still greater power for good in the future." This was ended the "Golden Jubilee" The impiration from the occasion could not help but lift the soul.

When Maxim, the famous gun inventor, placed his gun before a committee of judges, he stated its carr, log power to be much belo: what he felt sure the gun would accomplish. The result of the trial was therefore a great surprise, instead of disappointment. It is the same with the manufacturers of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. They do not publicly boost of all this rememry will accomplish, but prefer to let the users make the statements. What they do claim, is that it will positively cure diarrhoea, dysentery, pains in the stomach and bowels and has never been known to fail. For s.ie by all drummers. Excursion tickets to Omaha, Neb..

NATURE AS A CONSOLER OF THE MIND. Each individual of the human race has a retired apartment into which none can enter but himself, it is the mind. This apartment is entirely beyond the vision of those around us no eye can penetrate its recesses and no keenness of mental vision can perceive the movements therein. The mind often grows tired and discouraged and longs for a consoler and comforter. It is when the mind is in this condition that nature appeals to us from the outside world. It is she when life grows burdensome who consoles us and gives us hope to live again. It is she who is always ready to take us in her arms and comfort us as does the gentle, patient, mother. Perhaps as time weight heavy upon our brow we may have cast her from memory, but she is ever ready at our summons with her generous heart to aid us again an life journey. It might be well to cite a little incident from everyday life Mind had become a great beast in the world. When a child nature had been his dearest companion, but as the toils and cares of manhood began to weigh upon him he had allowed himself to dwell within the sourroundings of the business world. Many obstacles came in his way and at times he was almost on the verge of mental collapse, but never a consoler did he have or strive to find. One day tired out with his labor he accidently came across Titanopolis, "Oh" said he, "how I used to dote upon that poem in my college cays. I will read it once again for old times sake." He read: "To him who in the love of nature holds communion with her visible forms she speaks. A various language; for his gayer hours She has a voice of gladness, and a smile And elucence of beauty, and she glides Into his darker musings with a mild And healing sympathy that steals away Their sharpness are he is aware." He pauses and read again: "When thought makes the to shudder and grow sick at heart; go forth under the open sky, and list To natures teachings, while from all around— Earth and her nature, and the depths of air— Comes a still voice—the voice of nature calling"— He is opped reading and resolved to go at one and heed nature's teachings. With his in hand he rushed forth to the woodland, the home of nature. He arrived there tired and breathless. Nature saw him coming and knew by weared, but yet expectant look upon his face the cause of his errand. She bade him welcome, and he reclaimed upon the mys is couch of mother earth. How much like childhood days it seemed to him once more. Nature was the first to speak, and to him she said, "Oh mind didst thou think that thou couldst succeed without my help and consolation?" Oh no. It is nature that presides over all earthly affairs and it is the higher ideal in man that appeals to nature for solace. Yon O mind contemplated your capabilities and lack of comfort in the in the form of an idea and needs means to realize. Only nature can please those tastes which are imprecjudice and repired I am thy consoler and comforter" Mind arose from the couch from which he had been reclining and said, "the chormes of the mind are imperishable, they bud and bloom in youth and remains provided nature watches over them with care. I now see my mistake in life. Thou nature art my goddess, to thy law my stuices are bound." Have you not at some unprecedented time or place gone into the woods upon a summer's day weighed down with the cares of life and sorrow and found some comfort therein? We should divest ourselves of a selflove and critically examine our mental dwelling place. We should throw open wide the windows of this habituation that the grateful beams of the light of nature may shine in and irradiate every dark recess. As despair and the evil passions are sometimes quite eloquent and plausible in their appeals and arguments for admission into our mental abode, and as we are liable to give way to them if we are not guarded and acquainted with their real character it is well for us to join hand in hand with nature and sweetly sing of those pure ties of affection which are capable of uniting man to his brother in bonds of kindness and good will, and sing of that bright indisoluble cause of mercy which forever inks the fate of tao mind to the throne of infinite goodness. In nature's society away from evil and pessimistic communings there is a pure elevated holy joy to be derived. With a mild nature guides us to the great fountain of good she portrayes the beauties of his adorable character and points to the smiles of giris affection which glow in the bright beams of the King of light. which sparkle in the ten thousand stars of evening and as from a vast mirror are reflected by the face of universal nature.
