Talk about the boasted American civilization, if the recent Atlanta, Ga., moci riot is a sample of it we don't blame the Philippinoes or Cuba for not taking on our civilization. NEW PASTOR HERE. Rev. H. Seymour of St. Paul's A. M. E. church was stationed at Evanston, Ill., and moved there this week.

Mr. Brooks comes well recommended, having successfully pastored in Minneapolis and Chicago five years each, and was the delegate sent to London a few years ago to represent the S. S. National Convention. Republican State Campaign Open This week Governor Albert B Cummins opened the state campaign in a speech at Chadun, Ia. His immense popularity and great ability drew a large crowd, and he enthused that great crowd as no other man could. His liberal broad view, his manly stand for the people against corporate influences, and against graft and for railroad rate regulation, and equal assessment; has endearced him to the common people, and we hope the republicans of Iowa will triumphantly re-elect him governor and return a solid republican delegation to Congress from Iowa, the banner republican state in the union. ATLANTA DISGRACE. This week the associated press chronicle the news that a race riot and murder was raging in Atlanta, Ga., stating that the trouble arose over two or three assaults on white women by colored men. When the true facts were learned it was not a race riot, for the Negro race made little or no resistance, but it was a gang of lawless white murderers over-riding law, order and human respect, butchering killing and murdering innocent people simply because they happen to be colored. Then the papers call it a race riot or race war; wha bosh. One race murdering and killing members of another race without cause, who were not guilty of any crime at all. This disgraceful lawless scene of the killing of human lives without a cause who were innocent is a blot on Atlanta, Ga., a shame on the boasted American civilization and a mockery to our police protective power to quell such a mob. If the good law abiding citizens don't arrest and punish the leaders of this murderous gang of criminals there will be but little use for organized society. If this act had occurred in the rural or village district we could expect it, but occurring in the very heart of the so-called best controlled and highest educated Southern city south of the Mason and Dixon line, led us to wonder, what does civilization mean? Are all the christian and educational influences of no avail? Our government has gone in the name of christian enlightenment to save the Philippino and are now going to Cuba to intervene in the Cuban revolution for the protection of Americans and her interest. In the name of God can we not have protection of our lives in our own country? Very Low Rates to Ak-Sar-Ben Festivals at Omaha, Neb. Via the North-Western Line.

The Negro in the Congregational Churchesof America (By Rev. Abraham Lincoln Domond Congregational church Buxton, Iowa) ARTICLE 6 CONCLUSION. The Congregational church having stood for education and a prepared ministry, has caused those who would enter upon this work to qualify themselves intellectually as well as morally and spiritually. The colored Congregational ministry has representatives from many of the leading colleges and universities of this country as well as from the Congregational colleges in the South. There are 125 ordained Negro Congregational ministers in the pulpits of our churches and among them are graduates from Princeton, Yale, Harvard, Amherst, Andover, Oberlin, Hartford Theological Seminary, University of Chicago, Fisk, Atlanta, Howard, Talladega and other well known institutions of learning. The first effort put forth for a national organization of the colored Congregational ministers and workers was in Boston, Massachusetts in the fall of the year 1899, when a meeting for that purpose was called in the parlors of the St. Marks Congregational church, Rev. S. A. Brown, pastor. In the organization there formed, according to the files of the Boston Daily Globe, Rev. A. L, DeMond was elected Moderator and Rev. $ \textcircled{A} $ . C. Garner, Secretary. Since that time meetings have been held in Atlanta, Georgia and Memphis, Tennessee. The Alabama Herald, edited by Rev. J. S. Jackson, with Rev. E. E. Scott and Rev. A. L. DeMond as associate editors, was the first newspaper published in the interest of the colored ministers and churches. The Congregational Index with Rev James Bond, D. D. as editor was a later effort in that direction, but was suspended because of lack of support. In the line of special mission work taken up by the individual churches, perhaps the most interesting and effective has been that of the Central Congregational church of New Orleans, La., where Mrs. M. F. Cripps the Parish Prison Missionary has carried on work among the colored prisoners for eight years, never missing a single Sunday. In this work she has been assisted by the Christian Endeavor Orchestra organized and conducted by Mrs. Emma C. Harris, a talented musician and music teacher of that city. For seventy-seven years the Negro has been making history in the Congregational churches of America. May the little that we have already accomplished inspire us to do more, May the few thousand people we have gathered in the name of our Zion encourage us to go out and bring in more; may the little money we have raised be but the beginning of our bringing all the tithes into the store house. Let us as Negroes in the Congregational churches of America resolve to put our hearts into the work of building up our great denomination. YANKTON CLIPPINGS (Last Week.)

Prof. von Behring, whose tubercle loss investigations are more than ever interesting the scientific world recently made to a party of French scientists a more detailed statement of his achievements than has hither to appeared. In this he affirmed that he has been able to prepare a fluid named "tulose", differing radically from Dr. Koch's tuberculin, by using which he had been able to check the infection of animals by malignant tuberculosis bacillus. He frankly admitted, however, that he had not yet succeeded in developing a serum similar to diphtheritic antitoxin, and that he considered the future discovery of such a serum "extremely doubtful". Yet it was not impossible that by further experiment the "tulose" be made to develop curative proper. Meanwhile, says the New York Post, clinical experiments have shown that injections of this new fluid are of value in the treatment of children suffering from tuberculosis or scroff abs troubles. Finally, Prof. von Behring announced that, until further experiments have shown for just what uses "tulose", is best adapted, it will be dispensed only to a few select hats and clinics, which will pledge themselves to use it only in accordance with certain conditions prescribed by him. If this calm state ment disappoints those who have already seen the white scourge disparing before Dr. von Behring's magic, it is yet proof that a great scientific advance has really taken place. Cloestiness at Home and Cleanliness at Home and Abroad. England, which has been properly and justifiably horrified at the revelations made concerning American packing houses, will be yet more apalled at learning that the food products of her own country show, in many cases, an equally disgusting disregard for cleanliness and aseptic conditions. Two government inspectors, Miss Denease and Miss Suleres, have found conditions in the sausage, jam and chocolate factories of the most repulsive character, says The Reader. Apropos of all this, an interesting traveler, the count of Turin, cousin of the king of Italy, who has been making a tour of America and Europe, says that after visiting several of the local London packing houses, he has come to the conclusion that the Chicago establishments were the cleaner. The truth is, we require of wholesale purveyors a standard of cleanliness which we too frequently fail to enforce on our farms and in our bakeries. The American traveler who goes no further than the local boarding house, the country inn, the urban hostelry or the railway eating station, has data enough for a startling culinary essay, were he minded to write it; and what goes on in our kitchens is something of which most of us were happier to remain in ignorance. A good deal of nonsense is being talked and written by opponents of spelling reform about the danger that words will lose their etymological identity; that their derivation will be lost or obscured, and all that. But as a matter of fact, says the Indianapolis News, only the scholars are conscious of the derivation of words in any large degree, and no matter how you change the spelling they will remain just as conscious of the source and origin of words as they are now. Indeed, some philologists assure us that derivation would more easily be traced and followed in the simplified or phonetic spelling than in the present illogical and wildly varying forms and symbols. There is no more doubt, to take a single example, of the derivation of filosofy than of philosophy. The National Drugstist says that not a few of the coffee substitutes which are advertised as preferable to coffee contain more or less coffee. This may be tested by shaking a teapounil in a bottle half full of water. The bottle must be thoroughly shaken, so as to wet every particle of the sample, when nearly all of the non-coffee ingredients will sink to the bottom and the coffee float on the top. The reason for this is that coffee contains a large amount of oil which buys up the particles. Peas, beans, wheat, corn, chicory, etc., are heavier than water and, having no oil, sink to the bottom. A mule in Dallas, Tex., objected to the noise of an automobile and wrecked it with its heels. Horse power in automobiles is not a guarantee against the destructive power of a mule. A Kalamazoo wife buried the wrong man, and it appears that though her intentions were the very best, her husband doesn't like it. A man who climbed Mont Blanc says it gave him "rheumatism in the head." He seems to have found plenty of rheum at the top. Fay Templeton's new husband is William J. Patterson. We believe, says the Houston Post, the world is now in a fair way to ascertain definitely who struck Billy Patterson. We are schooling ourselves, says the Newark News, to regard the chorus girl as an admirable and very effective method for keeping the rich from growing richer. The Yale professor who insists that boree flesh is economical and palatable can't have in mind the 100 to 1 foot that is running yet. IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth. Polk Company Expects to Start Work This Fall. Des Molens:--The Inter-Urban Railway company has decided to extend its Colfax line to Newton, a distance of about eleven miles. Some of the preliminary work may be done yet this fall, but the main construction work will not be started until next spring. The citizens of Newton have taken the matter up and have held some preliminary meetings. A committee representing Newton's Commercial club met and canvassed the situation and representatives of the interurban company visited Newton. A meeting of the Newton Commercial club is to be held within a few days which will be attended by President H. H. Polk and other officers of the company and its proposition will be canvassed. The Commercial Club of Newton will probably take up the work of securing for the interurban company the entrance into the city of Newton, which the company desires. The company is not asking for a franchise, but merely a right of way under the same conditions as a steam road to enter a city. This is not well considered as an entrance is Washington street, running east and west just north of the principal retail section of Newton. If the interurban line is able to enter at the west end of Washington street it can run east on Washington street through the city to a point where connections can be made with the Iowa Central railroad. At that point the company will where the line enters the city it would cross the Rock island and the Newton & Northwestern islands. The interurban company has stated that it will agree to do its freight business inside the city limits of Newton during the first six hours of the day or from midnight to 6 a. m. and to run only passenger cars through the city during the day.

MISTAH TAFT? CLEARAND JACKSON UNITED STATES OF THE U.S. TWENTY DEATHS AT ATLANTA, GA., DUE TO RACE RIOTING GRI M REAPER GATHERS HAR VEST DURING DISORDER— NEWSPAPERS SUPPRESS EXTRAS—SALOONS ARE CLOSED. Atlanta, Ga. — The known dead in connection with the riots here since last Saturday night number one white man and 18 negroes. This number might be added the name of Mrs. Robert P. Thompson, an estimate white woman, who dropped dead Monday evening after she shot and beaten in front of her home. Tuesday, the third day of Atlanta's race war, passed without serious disturbances. Rumors literally by the hundreds have been brought to the attention of the authorities and to the newspapers, but not in a single instance had any of the horrible tales been verified. Indeed, the opposite was published—that they were absolutely false. Sane Distribution of News The charge was made that 50 negroes had been killed here and that the local papers and the press associations were either being censored or were suppressing the facts. Every bit of information that could be gathered and verified has appeared in the local papers. The papers here have united in an agreement to print only established facts, to issue no more specials or extras on the riots and the agreement is being lived up to. Following the arrest of 257 negroes at the Tuvalu and Chubu university early this month, the detention of about 100 of these in the county jail, the feeling prevailed that at least peace has been restored by a strong show of authority.

Moderates in Cuba Have Decided Upon a Final Effort TO MAINTAIN OLD REGIME American Envoys Await Developments —Ready to Intervene, But Wish to Give Cubans every Possible Chance to Settle Difficulties Themselves. Havana, Sept. 28.—The moderate party last night decided to make a final effort to perpetuate the authority of the Palma administration by determining to reject the resignation of the president when presented to congress today. When this decision was reached Secretary of War Taft and Assistant Secretary of State Bacon, the American commissioners, had already concluded to intervene, but they agreed to await to day's development because they are anxious to afford the Cubans every opportunity to work their own salvation. President Palma steadfastly refused every solicitation of friends to withdraw his resignation. Typical of this was the cable he sent to President Roosevelt in response to the final urgent message from the American president that he remain at the helm of this Presidency. This warmest appreciation of President Roosevelt's efforts to secure peace for Cuba and the friendship he has always shown the Cuban people. He referred to his own previous sacrifices for Cuba, which he said had not been in vain, but in the present situation and in view of all that had transpired, he said that the part would be useless and it was not consistent with his dignity and prestige to remain in office. Were it possible to induce President Palma to withdraw his resignation the situation still would be most difficult, and intervention would continue to be the most probable outcome. If the president accepted it would then become necessary for congress to elect a provisional president. Such an election would be a new source of contention not only between the oposing political parties, but probably between the opposing parties in the United States. The American commissioners will not brook the establishment of a provisional government by the Cubans simply as a means of gaining time. They hold that if a provisional government is created it must be by the United States. Secretaries and the commissioners will properly充电 their full duties if such a government were created in any other manner. The American commissioners have little confidence in the serioessness of the conditions of the politicians who have been violating and insincere through these nine days of futile negotiations. This being the situation nobody is inclined to doubt that within twenty-four hours Secretary Taft, by authority of the United States, will proclaim himself provisional governor of Cuba. Such a government, however, was not possible as Cuba was possible so to do by continuing the various departments under the immediate control of the present heads thereof. Gen. Frederick Funston arrived here yesterday.

While the men stood at the edge of the thicket the knight pounced on Mr. Goldfinch and drew him to the land. It lifted him on the thigh before Mr. Lucas lodged a bullet in its neck. Maddened by the wound, the animal turned its attention to Mr. Lucas, whose horse it fellled and then pinned the rider to the ground, inflicting lacerations on his face and biting his right arm. He was saved by Mr. Goldfinch, who, sitting up, rolled the lioness over with a well-aimed shot. The beast was about to spring on its victim again when another discharge from the same weapon proved fatal. The wounded men were taken back to town, where they received medical aid. THE WAY OUT. Change of Food Brought Success and Happiness. An ambitious but delicate girl, after failing to go through school on account of nervousness and hysteria, found in Grape-Nuts the only thing that seemed to build her up and furnish her the peace of health. "From infancy," she says, "I have not been strong. Being ambitious to learn at any cost I finally got to the High School, but soon had to abandon my studies on account of nervous prostration and hypospadias that agreed with me, I grew thin and despondent. I could not enjoy the simplest social affair for I suffered constantly from nervousness in spite of all sorts of medicines. "This wretched condition continued until I was twenty-five, when I became interested in the letters of those who had cases like mine and who were being cured by eating Grape-Nuts. "I had little faith, but procured a box and after the first dish I experienced a peculiar satisfied feeling that I had never gained from any order that food. I kept and treated my food and a few days began to grow strenger." "I had a new feeling of peace and sutfulness. In a few weeks, to my neat joy, the headaches and nervousness left me and life became bright and hopeful. I resumed my studies and later taught ten months with ease of course using Grape-Nuts every day. It is now four years since I began to use Grape-Nuts, I am the missess of a happy home and the old weakness has never returned." Name even by Postum Co., Battle Creek. "There's a reason."

RAILROAD ADS BARRED Say There Is Nothing in the Law That Calls for Such an Interpretation — The Commission Floated with "Kicks." Washington.—The recent ruling of the interstate commerce commission to the effect that "nothing but money can be paid for transportation of either persons or property," means that in future the railroads will be prohibited from exchanging transportation for advertising space in the nation of the country. The ruling already aroused a storm of protest from the publishers throughout the country. Every mall into Washington brings hundreds of letters from newspaper men all of which severely criticise the commission for "going out of it s way to hit the newspapers." The publishers insist that there is nothing in the new law which would in any way ford the railroads from purchasing advertising space to be paid for in transport and that the rulings not only uncalled for by either the letter or the spirit of the law, but is unconstitutional as well. One prominent publisher said a day or two ago: "There is not only nothing in the new rate law which would call for such a ruling as this from the commission, but the ruling is antagonistic to the national constitution as well, and it will not be upheld by the attorneys that desire publicity through the medium of any publication make advertising contracts with me, and pay me for the space used with transportation which is the same as money to me as it is used by myself or my employees in connection with my business. The government might with equal justice say the merchant could not give dry goods or any other marketable commodity in exchange for advertising space. The courts would not uphold such a ruling as that for one moment, and there is no more reason why they should uphold this later in the course of the commission; for it is merely as untenable as the proposition between the publisher and the merchant would be. "Everyone knows that the railroads do, and can afford to, advertise more heavily when their advertising accounts can be paid for in transportation. Nor does this increased amount of advertising affect the interests of the general public in any way, but it does assist in making the prosperity of the American newspapers and periodicals. The transportation that is given to newspapers in exchange for advertising does not affect in any way the equitable enforcement of the rate law, nor does it affect in any way the rates charged the general public for transportation for either persons or property. It is a benefit to the railroads in that it enables them to do a greater amount of advertising and could would do, and in this way secure a greater amount of business for their lines, and under a just interpretation of the law this increase in business would eventually lead to a reduction of transportation charges to the general public. It is an unjust and uncalled for ruling, and both the publishers and the railroads should fight it." That publishers are fighting it, not only by their protests to the commission but by protesting to their representatives in both houses of congress is proven by the fact that already the commission is receiving communications from many senators and congressmen in which these representatives of the people declare they had no intention of passing a law that would affect the newspapers in this way, and that there is nothing in the new law which calls for such a ruling on the part of the commission. FOUR PASSENGERS ARE DEAD Train Runs Into Switch Engine at New Prague, Minn. Minneapolis, Minn.—Four are dead and fifteen or more are injured as a result of a rear-end collision of a passenger train and a switch engine in the Minneapolis & St. Louis railroad yards at New Prague, Minn. 40 miles south of Minneapolis, at noon Monday.

The new rules go into effect October 1. Secretary Wilson Tuesday, after conferring with the officials of the bureau of animal industry and in response to many inquiries on the subject, so far modified the meat inspection regulations as to hold that mince meat is not a meat product. It has been determined that the percentage of meat in milce meat was so small as to bring it within the exempted class. NEW YORK REPUBLICAN LEADER Charles E.

It seems that considerable danger to property exists in the practice of burning off old paint before re-painting. The question has long been a subject of debate in the technical journals, and now households and the newspapers have begun to discuss it. Those of us who, with trembling, have watched the painters blow a fiery blast from their lamps against our houses, and have looked sadly at the size of our painting bill because we have wasted on this preliminary work that is interested in the investigation by the (Mass.) Gazette and Courier, which gives considerable space to the reasons the practice, questions its necessity and suggests ways to prevent the risk of burning down one's house in order to get the old paint off. It says: "There is a good deal of discussion among householders as to the desirability, in painting houses, of burning off the old paint, a practice that has been very common of late in Greenfield and is strongly opposed to this method. It makes void insurance policies for fires caused in this manner. Several houses in Greenfield have gotten afire as the result of this method, and in some places houses have burned as a result. "It is undoubtedly true that when a house has been painted over and over again there comes to be an accumulation of paint in bunches. If new paint is put on top of these accumulations it is almost sure to blister. To burn it off is the quickest and easiest and perhaps the surest method of getting rid of this old paint." The Gazette and Courier quotes certain old patrons to the effect that accumulations of paint are unnecessary. These old-timers lay the blame partly on the painter who fails to brush his paint in well, partly on the custom of painting in damp weather or not allow coatings, and partly to drying between coats, and partly to the paintable paints instead of old-fashioned lined oil and pure white lead. The paper says: "Many of the old householders say that if care is taken at all these points it is absolutely unnecessary to have paint burned off. They advise that people who have houses painted should them put on their own materials, and to have to sure to get good lead and oil. Of course the burning off of paint greatly increases the cost of the job." The trouble house-holders everywhere have with paint is pretty well summed up by our contemporary, and the causes are about the same everywhere. By far the most frequent cause of the painter's dangerous practice of burning old paint or poor material. The oil should be painted seed and the white lead should be real white lead. The latter is more often tampered with than the oil. Earthy substances, and pulverized rock and quartz, are frequently used as cheapers, to the great detriment of the paint. The painter rarely adulterate white lead themselves and they very seldom use ready prepared paints—the most frequent causes of paint trouble. But they do often buy adulterated white lead because the property owner insists on a low price and the painter has to economize somewhere. The suggestion is therefore a good one that the property owner investigate the subject a little, find out the name, the white brand of white lead, and see that the key is marked with that brand. The lined oil is more difficult to be sure of, as it is usually sold in bulk when the quantity is small; but reliable makers of lined oil can be learned on Inquiry, and, if your dealer is reliable, you will get what you want. Pure white lead and lined oil are necessary to good paint that the little houseowner in dollars well repays the houseowner in dollars and cents saved. Proved Effectual. It is 900 years since the failure of a bank in China. On the last occasion when such an event happened, the emperor had the failure investigated, and found it had been due to reckless conduct on the part of the directors. He at once issued an edict that, the next time a bank failed, the heads of its president and directors were to be revoked. This edict, which has never been revoked, has made China a banking institutions the safest in the world. WORST FORM OF ECZEMA Black Spotches All Over Face—Affected Parts Now Clear as Ever—Cured by the Cuticura Rem- "About four years ago I was afflicted with black splotches all over my face and a few covering my body, which produced a severe itch irritation, and which caused me a great deal of annoyance and suffering, to such an extent that I was forced to call in two of the leading physicians of my town. After a thorough examination of the dreaded complaint they announced, he had been treated for it. They treated me for the same for the length of one year, but the treatment did me no good. Finally my husband purchased a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and after using the contents of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent in connection with the Cuticura Soap and Ointment, the breaking out entirely stopped. I continued the use of the Cuticura Remedies for six mo*bus, and after that every sploit was entirely gone and the affected areas were healed. The Cuticura Remedies not only cured me of that dreadful disease, eczema, but other complicated troubles as well. Lizzle E. Sedge, 540 Jones Ave, Selma, Ala, Oct. 28, 1905."

A Dane named Knudson is credited with discovering means of producing liquid air at tp> cost of no more than one-sixth the usual price, and it is said that his process, which is mechanical rather than chemical, will ultimately put liquid air in a jar marked at no more than two cents a gallon. The same invention makes it possible to sell oxygen at a cent a cubic foot, which promises to bring it into rather wide industrial use.

Tortoise Surprised the Cook 1040 The Supermarket The house is the sleeper. One was a domestic pet in an English house, and when his time for hibernating came he selected a corner of the dim coal cellar for his winter quarters. A new cook was engaged soon after who knew nothing of tortoises. In a few months the tortoise woke up and sallied forth. Screams soon broke the kitchen's calm. On entering that department, the lady of the house found the cook grazing in the kitchen, exclaiming with unsteady hand she pointed to the tortoise: "My conscience! Look at the stone which I've broken the coal wl a' winter?"

Horses In Shrimp Fishing. Horses play an important part in shrimp fishing along the Belgian coast. A procession of weather-beat fishermen starts from the shore, each man mounted on the back of a trained horse, dragging the triangular purse-shaped net, which scoops in the shrimps as it passes over the sands. These fishermen on horseback frequently make hauls of several hundred weight in a single trip. Frozen Meat Frozen meat will keep any length of time. It undergoes a change, however, and is of the quality of second-rate meat after long staying in cold storage. It is thawed by being allowed to stay some hours in a warm atmosphere, never by being put suddenly to the fire. It is useless to attempt the cooking of frozen meat. Thawing must take place first. Useless Advice to Soldiers. The London News calls attention to the fact that when the building that is now Wellington barracks, Dublin, was a jail it had the words "Cease to do Evil—Learn to do Well," chiselled over the gateway. When it became a barracks the authorities, perhaps realizing the uselessness of such advice in some cases, bad the words removed.
