GREAT LEADER PLEADS BOOKER WASHINGTON URGES RACE TO BE PATIENT. New York, Oct. 11.—The session of the National Afro-American council, which has been in progress here, was brought to a close tonight with services in Zion church. Booker T. Washougain made the public address, and took for his subject "the mission of the church." The church was crowded, a large number of those in attendance being from the southern states. Mr. Washington said in part: In the season of disturbance and excitement, if others yield to the excitement of losing control of their judgment and pressure, let us, as a race, teach the world that we have learned the great lesson of calmness, of self-control; that we are determined to be governed by reason rather than by feeling. Our victories in the past have come in the form of a patient and patient meantime ending in great wrong. Meanwhile I am most anxious and I know that in this I speak the sentiment of every conservative member of our race, that our race everywhere bear the reputation of law respecting people. If others want law and law trample it under foot, let us keep and respect it and teach our children to follow our example. In this connection I repeat what I have uttered on a recent occasion, every lot of influence that we possess in the community, in the criminal and loading element of our people and to make decent, law abiding citizens. Caution To Northern Negroes. To the members of my race who reside in the northern states let me utter a caution that in your enthusiasm brethren in the south you do not make their path more thorny and difficult by rash and intemperate utterances. Before giving advice to the negro in the south, the negro in the north should be very sure that what he adopts will be better for his well-being he will take into the heart of the south and put into practice. Be careful not to assist in lighting a fire which you will have no ability to put out. Some may think that the problems with which we are gramping will be better solved by inducing millions of our people to leave the south for residence in the north, but I warn you that instead of this being a solution it will but add to the complications of the problem. Remember the giving of prominence to the work of the mob in the south, we should not fail to give due credit to those of the white race who stood manfully and courageously on the side of law and order during the recent tryalords throgh the press being passed. During the racial disturbances the country very seldom hears of the brave and heroic acts of a certain element of southern white people whose deeds are seldom heralded through the press. The indiscriminate condemnation of all white people on the part of any member of our race is a suicidal and dangerous policy. We must learn to discriminate. We have strong friends both in the south and in the north, and we should emphasize and magnify that of those who wish us evil. I have said we must differentiate between people at the south. We can not afford to class all as our enemies, for there are many who are our enemies, for there are people who also must differentiate between black people. It is a mistake to place all in the same class when referring to morality or general conduct. There is a vicious class that disgraces us, there is also a worthy class which has always received praise, but most people firmly face the fact that the great body of our people are to dwell in the south, and any policy that does not seek to harmonize the two races and cement them is unwise and dangerous. Construction in the maternal civic, educational, moral and religious world is what makes races great. Any child can cry and fret, but it requires a full grown man to create to construct. Let me impress you to teach the material to them, and they must become, in an increasing dgree, creators of their own careers. BISHOP ARNETT DEAD **BISHOP ARNES** The Bishop Arnes is associated Press conveys the sad news of the death of Right Reverend Benjamin Arnet, who died last Sunday night at his old home at Wilberforce, Ohio. Rev. Arnet has been sick for a long time, but the last few weeks he was a great sufferer and has been sinking several days, yet the rest of his friends; yet even realizing that when death actually comes we are grieved. With this great prelate, race giant and defender of right and truth is gone our race loses a real leader and Ohio a great man. He was a very strong power in the midwest for forty years, and his death will be mourned by thousands of people. While we cannot again see this man, but may we not take his good advice, his brave, manly words and emulate his character whenever it was for good. **IOWA State Bystander on sale at Faulkner's news stand 3104 State street Chicago. Ill.** COLORED VOTERS READ. Below we give some recent utterances by some of the leaders of the democratic party which alone is in power in Iowa and elsewhere from thinking 2. voting to aid or support the party whose leaders are so prejudiced as to steal the rights of a fellow beings and then make speeches that are not in line with negro down. If ever there was a time that all our people should come together on one proposition it is to vote against every democrat who endorses the those interviews. Read and remember that party on election day; Lagrange, Ge., Oct. 10—Governor-elect. Hoke Smith, speaking on the race question at the Georgia homecoming exercises here today, said the idle n o ro is a menace to his race and could keep him from idleness. He said the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution hinders the most Intelligent mode of handling the subject. Among other things he said: Our national government has always legislated for the Indians, placing around them restrictions entirely men. But for the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution we should follow the same plan in Georgia with reference to the negroes. The white man must accept full responsibility and control of the situation. This is the white man's country and it is the negroes who should be encouraged to help. Finally the large majority of the negroes must be supervised and directed by the white man. Tillman Urges Remedy. Little Rock, Oct. 10—Senator Tillman of South Carolina, discussing the race question in an address here to the nation, said the system, as now in vogue in Europe, would abolish ravishings. "I know," said the senator, "the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments would have to be done away with. When a man leaves home he would have to present his papers. In addition, he would have to explain and sufficient reason for his being absent from home and where he was going and why. It would result in putting the loafers on the chain gang where they would be made to work." Among other things the senator said the crisis was now here "when the white men must rule the southland regardless of all the Yankees between Cape Cod and hell. Here I will be the governor of New York, and which I regret to say I believe it was and is the purpose of the politicians in the north to so amalgamate the two races in the south as to make us all part negro. The southern women are standing guard at the door of the temple of race purity and the men are standing guard at the door of the man who will not stand with us should be made to live forever with the wretches with whom he delights to associate."

Bell was called to Chicago this week on account of the illness of her sister. Divorce and the state. Although nearly all persons are married contract under the law is a civil agreement that may be made in the presence of a properly qualified layman, and may be dissolved only by the civil courts. To disclose how frequently the marriage contracts have been dissolved, the bureau of the census has lately begun to look over the reports of the divorce courts for the past 20 years. The information thus obtained is to be used in the creation of sentiment in favor of uniform marriage and divorce laws throughout the whole country. Such uniform laws are urged on the ground that they would prevent easy divorce and make it impossible for a man or a woman who had grown tired of a wife or husband to go to some state which has lax laws, and there secure freedom to marry again. But this does not go far enough in setting forth the reasons. Lax divorce laws and easy divorce threaten the stability of society itself by undermining the family. To say that the family is the unit of the existing social organization is to utter a commonplace, but it is so common that it is overlooked by those who make up the divorce colonies of the various states. The whole social fabric rests on the trinity—or shall one say the unity—of father, mother and child. All laws grow out of the necessity of protecting the young and preparing them for their union in new families. Theearing of a family is the incentive behind the efforts of practically every sane and healthy man and woman. The fathers and mothers are sentnels round the camp of the younger generation, guarding it from foes both seen and unseen. All creation conspires for the protection of the young, and the family is one of the agencies through which that divine cooperative work is done. There may be justifiable reasons for the breaking up of a home through divorce. If so, they all take their origin in the violation of the obligation by one party or the other to the marriage contract. But such breaking up is a social tragedy, says the Youth's Companion. No law that can be passed will make the unfaithful loyal to their obligations, but something can be done to make men and women understand the hideousness of their conduct when they seek to break the most sacred contract ever entered into between two human beings. Men, Women and Meals. Men, women and children. When men suppose that dinner goes on whether they are at home or not, they labor under a curious misconception. Arthur Pendens, writing about this melancholy fact, declares: "Some one said that an ordinary woman's favorite dinner is an egg in a drawing-room. All women have a passion for something on a tray. To the masculine mind things on a tray are unsatisfying; but to the feminine body they embody the very manna from heaven." It is easy to understand that Arthur Pendens, or any other "masculine mind" might have trouble in comprehending the why and wherefore of this debilitated taste; but no woman would be at a loss to explain it. It comes from the fatigue which woman suffers as the result of her colossal task of feeding man. To nourish the human race is the appointed work of woman. At the very inception of life, says The Reader, this is her labor, and never can existence be so fine, so free, so heroic or so beautiful, that she must not pause three times a day—or more—to bend her mind to the menu that shall please her lord. She has been accused of writing no epics; it is said that she is incapable of composing an oratorio, of designing an cathedral, or conceiving an heroic statue or painting a picture of the first quality. The return is that she might have done something of the kind if the man had not been hungry so frequently and so insistently. To be the nourisher of the human race is an undertaking so prodigious that it is a marvel that the mere exasperation of being chained to the harder out not made feuds or lunaics out of women—and from squabble to countess, their sufferings in this regard have points of similarity. Is it any wonder, then, that with the hungry man out of the way, the woman anseeks escape from the tyranny of food, and "eats strawberries by moonlight on a flowery bank" The cxar has decided now to give to the peasants the lands belonging to him and to the government. His action recalls the pictures of the desperate travelers in the Russian slopes, throwing over whatever they can lay their hands on to delay the fierce rush of the pursuing wolves. Over in Germany somebody has found out how to make cigars that are free from nicotine. They found out how to do that long ago in the Connecticut cabbage belt. Scientists have discovered that the memory is stronger in summer than in winter. Among the worst foes of memory are too much food, too much physical exercise and, strangely enough, too much education. A rich Pennsylvaniaian has hired a trained nurse for his sick building. The strong part of it is that this millions does not live in Pittsburgh. Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth. FOR BLYDENBURG MURDER. Dickinson an Dr. Gadd Are Under Indictment. Des Moines—Murder in the second degree is the charge preferred against Dr. E. E. Gadd and H. B. Dickinson in indictment returned by the Polk县 community in connection with the death of Irune Blydenburg, Judge James A. Howes of the criminal division fixed the bonds at $10,000 in each case. Dr. Gadd was able to furnish bondsmen. Dickinson went to jail, being for the second time lodged in the St. Louis cell. Dr. Gadd has retained McHenry, Mulvanye & Jones and Sullivan & Sullivan to defend him, and Mr. Dickinson retains for his defense Mr. George Sanderson. Probably the most sensational testimony before the grand jury was that of Mrs. M. Hillas. She claims to have been present when the operation was performed and to have held the girl's hands. She testifies that Dr. Mapa administered the operation, disclosing by his remarks the nature of his procedure. She says that frene Blydenburgh's last words were "I am not going to die. Dr. Gadd said he would save me. I was a good girl till now. Dickinson said he would get a divorce and marry me. Coupled with this telling evidence is that of Mrs. Jessie Cook of Sixth avenue, with whom the girl first staid. Mrs. Cook says Dickinson told her that the girl was with child and that she would support it through life, but she would not listen to it and says he said: "I will stand by the girl to the end." Then she says when the girl thought she was going to be sick she gave her a card bearing two telephone numbers and told her: "I will support you. She says she called the doctor, who when he came introduced himself" as Dr. Gadd. HELD FOR NEAL MURDER Rich Guthrie County Farmer is Arrested for the Crime. Guthrie Center—Ed. Chambers, one of the wealthiest famers in the northern part of Guthrie county, has been charged with the murder of Charles R. Neal, who was found dead on a farm near Bagley last week. Is a naked woman who had resided one of the Chambers farms for years. Recently there is said to have been more or less trouble between the two. Chambers' arrest followed an extensive investigation by Sheriff Brown. It is claimed that the bloodhounds placed on the trail started to the Chambers' home, where is about one-third of Neal's Neal lived. Chambers, who is a crack rifle shot, is said to have been seen with a rifle on the day that Neal was killed. Other evidence against Chambers will not be divulged. Chambers is 65 years old and has lived in Guthrie county for about fifty years. He and another Chamber have made their home together, the brother also being very wealthy. Chambers was Neal's landlord for seven years. ROCK ISLAND IS SUED. Agars Want Damages for Alleged Rate Dscrimiation. Des Moines—On the charge that they have been illegally discriminated against in the way of freight rates and thus placed at a disadvantage in competing with other packing houses on the market, the Agar Packing company of this city has served notice of suit of $400,000 damages against the Chicago, Rock Isand & Pacific Railway company. The action is instituted in the Polk county court of law under the state law which kives an injuried party right to recover treble damages from a railway corporation which may be accused of causing a child to in rates. Inasmuch as there is a new federal statute, making rate discrimination a criminal offense, the introduction of and taking of evidence in this statecase will be watched with much interest by federal authorities. The plaintiff's company would probably mean an immediate investigation by the federal authorities. BUCKSHOT IN APPENDIX. Thirteen Shot Eaten Down With Fresh Game. Des Molles—Dr. Porter of Bondurant had an operation for appendicitis a few days ago upon Louis Ashley, a prominent farmer. The man had been troubled for some time with a pain coming acutely from the region of the appendix and the doctors finally decided that an operation was necessary. When the offending organ was finally reached the physicians found thirteen pieces of buck root resting quietly in the cavity. Ashley is a hunter and has a flexible cooking and downing his soup soon after bagging it. By so doing he has taken in some of the shot with his meals and these have rolled over into the appendix and lodged there. Midnight First: Loss $12,000 Munich Ortakow—Fire at midnight practically destroyed the large millinery stock of Mís Salle Atkins. The fire started in Cona, Conway and Cowles' office abode and did not burn much, but smoke and water played havoc with the millinery goods. The Crisy office and the department of Huber & Halbach's hardware store also suffered. The losses are: Miss Atkins, $8,000; Crisy & Crisy, $1,000; Huber & Halbach, $1,000; Cowles & Cowles, $1,000; damage to building, $500. The losses are partially covered by incurance.

Waterloo...Three persona were injured and over $70,000 worth of property was destroyed in West Waterloo on the afternoon of the 8th by fire of unknown origin. For a time on account of the high wind, it looked as though the business district might be swept and the Cedar Falls fire department was called. The insurance will not be quite half of the total loss. The losses and insurances follow: C. F. Brown's opera house, loss $40,000; insurance, $20,000. Klinefileer Bros. livery, loss $20, 000; Insurance $3,500. Evangelical Lutheran church, loss $;4,000; insurance $3,000. Lutheran church, dam. St. Mark's Episcopal church, damage $2,500; insurance $1,500; barns and barn, loss $2,000; insurance $1,700. J. W. Klinefeller's residence, damage $1,000; insurance $600. Barns and buildings belonging to Alpha McAthur, Will McKinster, Frank McKinster, Charles Clements, loss $1,000; insurance probably half. Total loss $7,050; total insurance $31,300.

Mrs. Charles Daley rescued eight horses from the livery barn and was quite badly bruised and cut about the arms. Using the worst part of the conflagration another fire broke out in the resident district, doing about $500 damage. It was started by a flaming brand carried eight blocks by the wind. The water supply was almost exhausted and the water company had to move direct from the river. As a result of the water not being filtered nearly all the downtown mains are polluted. The city physician and the water works company issued a request to all to boll the water before using it. DISEASE IN CATTLE HERDS. Cerebro Spinal Mening's Appears Near Webster City. Webster City.—Cerebro spinal meningitis, the most deadly disease known among cattle, has broken out in Fremont township, northwest of Chicago. Mr. Ambrose's milch cows are affected and four have already died. He has a herd of twenty-four, all of which are now under quarantine. After an animal displays the first symptoms of the disease it is housed, State Veterinarian Baugham of Fort Dodge has visited the herd and the animals are being cared for under his direction. There is no known cure for the disease, however. The cases near the city are the only infections in the state of Iowa. The symptoms of the disease begin with an itching of the nose. The animal rubs its nose constantly upon fences and the ground. The itch spreads rapidly throughout the body within twenty-four hours the animal is dead. Drs. Baughman and Williams hold a post mortem on one of the dead animals and satisfied themselves that the disease is cerebro spinal meningitis, a disease of the brain and spinal membrane cattle contracted the disease is not known. The disease is infections and lesions the family have stopped using milk from the cows. It is not known whether a human being would contract .e. cerebro spinal meningitis or spinal meningitis is a disease not unknown to the human race. In fact two years ago hundreds of people in New York and the east succumbed to the scourge. Practically the only treatment that can cure the animals is to segregate them and to disinfect the pictures and barns. CLEVER SWINDLE WORKED. Stranger Defrauds man. Nancy A. Wilson of Keokuk. Keokuk—Samuel James, who claimed to be a railroad man from Chicago, bought the house owned by Mrs. Nancy A. Wilson, a widow, for $2,000 and after getting possession of the deed, borrowed $500 from R. C. Jewett, giving a mortgage on the property as security. He then disappeared as mysteriously as he came. When the check was presented to him, he had no money on deposit in any of the Keokuk banks. As Jewett, who loaned the $500 on the property is secured by the mortgage and is an innocent purchaser, the widow is the loser. Des Moines—Swindled out of $400 by a man clever in the use of buge checks and in the use of a mortgage, Mr. and Mrs. Hillaway of 311 West Fifth street are now fighting during the late years of their lifes to save their humble home from their creditors. They owe their downfall to a man giving his name as Sam James. This man took a deed on their house and gave it to the lawyer for $2,900 payment. He then turned around and borrowed $400 from W. G. Harvison, a lawyer in the Clapp building, giving a mortgage on the property he had just purchased with a bogus check. Thus the weight of the $400 loan falls on the aged couple and not on Mr. Harvison. The lawyer the lawyer $400 before they can again call their home their own. Small Boy Injured at Play. Small Boy Injured at Play. Boone—Henry Linbloom, nine years old, while playing around the engine house of the Boone brick plant, got his left arm caught in the engine shaft. It was almost torn from the socket, and the flesh was badly lacerated. The arm is in a cast and an amputation will not be necessary. A shopkeeper in Freiburg, Germany, to announce that English is spoken in its establishment, has this arm on the window: "Here they shake the English." Do you believe in progress? Do you believe that all the wonderful achievements of the nineteenth century—the railroad, the telegraph, the telephone, electric light, kerosene, sewing machine, agricultural machinery, steamships, trolley cars, etc—have made life easier and better worth living? I do. I believe that a man who lives 40 years under modern conditions has experienced more life and better life than Methuselam, though he had lived 20 centuries of his time. The triumphs of the nineteenth century were triumphs of human science—the placing of knowledge and the fruits of knowledge within the reach of the common man. Every man is a happier, more secure because of them. We live more comfortable, more sociable lives in better and more comfortable houses because of them. Even the hopeless dweller in the worst city slums is more comfortable in his physical conditions than the middle-class citizen of the days of George Washington. In little things as in great, comfort and convenience have the legacy of the "Century of Improvement." Pain, in a certain sense, is a minor matter, yet it gives beauty, healthfulness and durability to our dwellings. Fifty years ago painting was a serious business, and the means of stately mansions who could afford the expense of frequent renewals. Today ready mixed paint is so cheap, so good, and so universal that no house owner has an excuse for not keeping his property well painted. A small thing, indeed; yet several hundred large factories, employing thousands of chemists and skilled workers, maintain their own day in the house to keep our houses fresh, clean and wholesome. A small thing, yet a can of good ready mixed paint, such as one may buy from any reputable dealer, embodies the study of generations of skilled chemists, the toil of a thousand workmen in mill, laboratory and factory, and the product of a long series of special machinery invented and designed just to make that can be used in a variety of tints, colors and shades. It was a wonderful century, that nineteenth of our era, and not the least of its wonderful gifts was that same commonplace can of paint. Chandler's Joke on Conkling Chandler's Joke on Conkling. Roscoe Conkling was a capital boxer and quite proud of his considerable banter he induced Senator Chandler to "put on the gloves" with him. He played with Chandler for a few rounds, much to the discomfiture of the downester. The latter bided his time and some later quietly brought a professional pugilist to dinner where Conkling was a guest. In the course of the evening "Mr. Smith" was induced to engage in a boxing bout with Mr. Conkling. The professional danced around the senator, landing when and where he wished, playing with him as he would with a punching bag. The elegant New Yorker was dazed and humiliated, crushed. When he surrendered and called enough, as he did at last, Senator Chandler smiled blandly and presented the pugilist in his true colors. ALASKAN CABLE IS BUSY. Line to Be Duplexed and 200 More Miles Added. Few people who have not been over the ground have any conception of the wonderful development of Alaskan interests and trade. For instance, the commercial receipts from the Alaskan cable and telegraph lines for the mouth of the Bering Sea, are demanded to the rand increase in the demands upon the system will be met by the government by duplexing the cable. The cable ship Burnside, which is to install the duplexing apparatus at the Alaskan end of the cable, will carry about 200 miles of new cable for the extension of the service to Ketchikan. This extension will be effected by tapping the lines from Sitka to Juneau at Cape Fanshaw. From that point a branch line will be extended down the Wrangel, then to Hadley on Prince of Wales island, then to Ketchikan, and finally 80 miles from Fort Simpson, the English town which is to be the terminus of the Grand Trunk and Pacific railroads. It is believed that this additional 800 miles of cable will largely increase the cable receipts, as it taps a country rich in mines, fishery and canning industries and greatly in need of daily communication with the United States. The cable line will be completed by November 1. -Pilgrim. Made Sound by Eating Grape-Nuts Proper food nourishes every part of the body, because Nature selects the different materials from the food we eat, to build bone, nerve, brain, muscle, teeth, etc. All we need is to eat the right kind of food slowly, chewing it well—our digestive organs take it up into the blood and the blood carries it all through the body, to every little nook and corner. If some one would ask you, "Is Grape-Nuts good for loose teeth?" you'd probably say, "No, I don't see how it could be." But a woman in Oakland writes: "For the past two years I have used Grape-Nuts Food with most excellent results.

St. Petersburg, Oct. 12.—A step of great importance has been taken by the cabinet in granting permission to break up and sell entailed estates it approved by the Agrarian commissions. The cabinet's decision is that the estate may only be sold to the peasants in their neighborhood and that the proceeds must be deposited as inalienable capital in the state banks, thereby killing two birds with one stone. The government's programme for relieving the land hunger of the peasants is working with fair success. Havana, Oct. 12—The provisional government will have nothing to do with the question of the sovereignty of the Isle of Pines nor with the separation of the government of the Isle and from the rest of the Cuban republic. The executive authority of the Isle, the government of the Isle that the Isle of Pines belongs to Cuba and has embolized that affirmation in a treaty conceding ratification in the American senate. The entire matter being one of the adjudications of the state department, the provisional government, which is wholly under the jurisdiction of the United States. The mode of government of the Isle of Pines as part of the Cuban republic may be altered or amended, but the desire of Americans in the Isle of Pines for territorial or municipal government as part of the United States may be part of the provisional government of Cuba or the war department. The president of the American association of the isle of Pines has not yet interviewed Governor Taft on this issue, but he will be gained will be the placing of an American military officer as temporary governor of the isle in lieu of the present Cuban mayor with whom the relations of the American residents to the isle in Cuba and their desire for the isle adopted unanimously a resolution exonerating Secretary of State Root and Gen. Leon Wood from all blame in connection with the turning of the isle into Cuba and their desire that this step ought to open the way to negotiations for making the isle American property. They consider the present condition of affairs appropriate for securing the isle for the future that they believe may happen indefinitely in the United States fire. A Fort Dodge Man Disappears.

Pinkham and investigating mind, an earnest seeker after knowledge, and above all, possessed of a wonderfully sympathetic nature. In 1843 she married Isaac Pinkham, a builder and real estate operator, and their early married life was marked by prosperity and happiness. They had four children, three sons and a daughter. In those good old fashioned days it was common for mothers to mute their own home medicines from roots and herbs, calling in a physician only in specially urgent cases. By tradition and experience many of them gained a wonderful knowledge of the curative properties of the various roots and herbs, and she maintained in the study of roots and herbs, their characteristics and power over disease. She maintained that just as nature so boundly provides in the harvest, nature all kinds; so, if we but take the pains to find them, in the roots and herbs of the field there are remedies expressly designed to cure the various ailments of the human body; it was her pleasure to search these out, and prepare simple and effective medicines for her own family and friends. Chief of these was a rare combination of herbs and herbs found best adapted for cure of the lilies and weakness peculiar to the female sex, and Lyndia E. Pinkham's friends and neighbors learned that her compound relieved and cured her, became quite popular among them. All this so far was done freely, without money and without price, as a labor of love. But in 1873 the financial crisis struck Pinkham. Its length and security were too much for the large real estate interests of the Pinkham family, as this class of business suffered most from despair depression, so when the Centennial year dawned it found their property swept away. Some other source of income had to be found. At this point Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was made known to the world.

TEACHER SHOT DEAD JEALOUS MAN MURDERS WOMAN IN SCHOOL ROOM. Slayer Ends His Life with Plistol When Surrendered by Poose After Escaping From Scene of His Crime. Cleveland—In the presence of 60 pupils in the South Euclid school, Harry Smith, 25 years old, shot to death Miss Mary Shepard, a teacher 22 years old, Wednesday afternoon. Cornered by the barn in the rear of his home in Warrensville two years later, Smith shot himself through the barn, dying instantly. Four Cleveland policemen, with drawn revolvers, and under cover of eight armed farmers, were about to rush on young Smith when he ended his life. Disappointment in love is said to have been the motive for the cold-blooded murder. Smith, who was a fourth cousin to Miss Shepard, had wooded her for some time, and recently was rejected. His broodover over the unhappy ending of his marriage, and Wednesday afternoon, first quitting his position, caught a revolver and went to the south Euclid school. Miss Shepard responded to his knock at the door. He walked in and for a few moments talked to her in the hall. Suddenly he whipped out his revolver, shoved it against her head and fired twice in rapid succession, both bullets crashing through her brain. Smith leisurely walked out and boarded a car for Warrensville. The news of the crime went like wildfire, and in less than half an hour an armed posse formed and was in full pursuit. The identity of the murderer was quickly established. URGES RIVER MEN TO ACTION Joint Effort Necessary for Upper Mississippi improvement. Minneapolis, Minn.' — Important business and addresses market the final day of the sixth annual convention of the Mississippi River Improvement association. Congressman Joseph E. Ransdell, of Louisiana, chairman of the executive committee of the National Rivers and Harbors congress, urged united action to secure appropriations for river and harbor improvement. "We do not plan," said he, "a raid on the treasury, but a fair proportion of the $12,000,000 spent by the government annually. At present commerce receives, including the灯屋 and consular service, by 454 per cent. We have a balance of trade in and favor of, $500,000,000. The army, navy and pensiones receive 40 per cent. The 37 states directly interested united through their senators and congressmen can secure the appropriation." The resolutions committee strongly endorses a six foot channel from Minneapolis to St. Louis retention and extension of their reservoir system at the source of the Mississippi; combined action of all waterway improvement associations; and plans representation and participation in meetings of the board of directors of the men have been extended by St. Louis Business Men's league to participate in the St. Louis deep channel congress November 15 and 16. NEW YORK BANKERS FAIL. Said to Be Due to Alleged Defalcation of Havana Correspondent. New York. — The assignment of J. M. Ceballos & Co., bankers and merchants, with liabilities between $3,000,000 and $4,000,000, was announced Wednesday in a statement which declared that the failure was due to the defalcation and absconding of Manuel Silveira, of Silveira & Co. Havana agents of the New York company. Salveira's defalcation is alleged to amount to about $1,000,000. He sailed from Havana on October 2, ostensibly for New York city, to consult with the members of J. M. Ceballos & Co., but was not reached this city. Counsel for the assignee said that Silveira left on his own steamer, the Carmelina, for parts unknown, accompanied by his wife and children, and that every effort was being made to locate him.

DESIGN FOR THE VANDERBILT CUP. VANDERBILT CUP M.C. GRIESE CHICAGO VIKING STANDARD OIL IS ON TRIAL IN OHIO State Attempting to Prove the Monster Corporation is a Trust—Lawyers Wrangle Over Technical Points and Defense Losses —Rockefeller's Former Testimony Admitted. Findlay, O.—The suit of the state of Ohio against the Standard Oil company is charged with conspiracy against trade, began here Tuesday and progressed at a rapid pace. A jury, composed mostly of farmers, was secured in less than two hours; County Prosecutor W. L. David presented his case; Virgil P. Kille, attorney for the defense, made answer; Attorney G. H. Phelps, of the prosecution, then read documentary evidence until the court adjourned 20 minutes before the reading was required to continue the reading in the greater part of Wednesday. In brief, Mr. David stated to the jury that the Standard Oil company became a trust in 1882, and although it had several times since changed the form of its organization, had not ceased to commit the offenses of a trust. Rockefeller's Evidence Admitted. Findlay, O. — Every point in an endless series of clashes between Standard Oil's attorney and the presecuption during the trial Wednesday was won by the Ohio lawyers. The session was one long struggle between the defense and the county attorney, nided occasionally by Attorney General Wade Ellis. In a red shirt, but in every tilt the shining legal lights of the corporation went down in defeat before the arguments of Prosecutor David. Judge Banker's rulings were given only after careful consideration. The result was that the testimony of John D. Rockefeller given in 1898 in the litigation against the Standard Oil trust before the supreme court of the state was admitted and carefully read to the jury by Attorney Philps for the prosecution. This consumed the morning session and part of the afternoon. Woman Glives Testimony. Mrs. Ida M. Butts, the first witness Receives Bullet in Brain From Stepfather of His Sweetheart. Minneapolis, Minn.—William Dowell, a prominent local newspaper man, was shot and killed Sunday afternoon by John Quirk, because of attentions to his step-daughter, Miss Bessie Squires. The shooting occurred at the Quirk residence, 901 Chicago avenue, just as Dowell and the young woman were entering the house. One bullet was fired which took effect in the man's brain. Quirk calmly awaited the arrival of the officers and was taken into custody. Dowell was taken to the city hospital, where he expired in a few minutes. Quirk seemed pleased when told that his victim was dead. Cortly Fire ta Goldfield. Goldfield, New--Fire broke out Wednesday in the Palace saloon, destroying that place and three buildings adjoining.

Five business houses and the office of the Summerfield Sun have burned. of the trial, was then called to the stand. Mrs. Butts said she was the stepdaughter of the late George M. Rice, an independent oil refiner of Marietta, O. She had also acted as Mr. Rice's private secretary and was the executrix of his estate. She pre-attended the request of Attorney Phlox Phelps, an original trust stock owned by Mr. Rice's certificates of "legal title" into which these were later transferred and script showing title to fractional shares of stock in all of the 20 subsidiary companies of the original trust. The text of these certificates was read into the record and Mrs. Butts excused, the defense not caring to cross-examine her. The objection of the defense to the character of evidence brought forward was mainly on the ground that the question was going entirely outside of the court, the information filed by County Prosecutors. Besides this, the authenticity of the evidence in all cases was questioned. The general answer to these objections was made by Attorney General Ellis, who made his first appearance as an active participant in the prosecution, and by Attorney Phelps. The defense was taken care of by attorneys Ellis, Elliot, Gup and Tolles, Mr. Kline and Mr. Trout, giving the greater part of the talking. Valentine Law Is Broad. Answering the objection of Mr. Kline that the prosecution was going outside the pleadings on the case, Mr. Pleips said the Valentine law, under which the suit was brought, was as broad as the world and as strong as Samson; that under it there was no necessity of proving any trust agreements or naming the parties in anyspiracy. It was enough to show the plaintiff that he was wrong. However, it was the intention of the prosecution to show that the nine men who formed originally the Standard Oil trust of 1882 have ever since—at least all of them who are living—continued to dominate the oil industry of the state; that they abandoned the trust agreement when compelled to the state only to enter another form in New Jersey, which now continues. ROOSEVELT MAY BE SENATOR. It Is Rumored He Wants to Success Platt. Washington. — Reports that President Roosevelt wants to be a senator from New York, to succeed Senator Thomas C. Platt, are revived here. The president, on the authority of men intimate with him, not only desires to be senator from New York after he ends his present term, but he admits that ambition. Moreover, he considers the trend of things in New York politics at this time distinctly favorable to his ambition and so do his friends. He is being looked to more and more as the leader of New York Republican politics and is being consulted by State Chairman Woodruff and other leaders almost daily. Mrs. Jefferson Davis III.

A remarkable double wedding has been celebrated in a Viennese church. A manufacturer named Muller married a widow, while at the same time his son married the widow's daughter. Thus the father becomes the father-in-law of the mother-in-law of her daughter. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Anecdote of Robert R. Hitt. The late Robert R. Hitt had a knowledge of stenography which was of great value to him in debate. He has been known to rise with his hand full of shorthand notes of a speech just delivered to which he was about to reply and woe to the man who accused and woe to the man who misquoted him. He was the patron eaim of the stenography profession, and political influence was to displace from the line of promotion a young expert writer of shorthand from Michigan whose work Mr. Hitt had occasion to admire. Mr. Hitt went to Speaker Cannon. "This will never do, Joe," said the shorthand authority of the house. "We can't do without this man. The house must have a speaker." Speaker Cannon "If anybody knows the sort of stenographers this house ought to have you are the man." That settled it and the Michigan stenographer held his place.

It became a regular thing that I would be laid up all winter. The rheumatism affected mostly my hands, bumps, feet and knees, and up and my feet became deformed. I lost my appetite, couldn't sleep and sometimes I was compelled to cry out, the pain was in intense. We several winters I was under the doctors and his medicine relieved the pain for a little while there seemed no prospect for a permanent cure. I was confined to my bed, off and on, for weeks at a time. My limbs were reduced almost to nothing. "In the spring of 1004, upon the advice of a friend, I began to use Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. At that time I wasn't able to do anything and could not sleep. I had a change for the better in about a mouth. I began to eat heartily and I suffered less pain. Of course I kept on the treatment, using care in my diet, and in about three months I was cured. I am entirely well today and do all my work.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured In a farmhouse in one of the New England states a case of scarlet fever unexpectedly developed not long ago. On seeking for its *origin*, the physician found that some old cotton quilts laid away in the marrot for years, had recently been taken down and aired and put to use by the family. These bed coverings, it was remembered, had been put away after a siege of this disease. This is on y one of many instances that could be related to show how long the feebulous age has lasted and how common a thing it is for scarlet fever to be dominated by bedding; and other objects. These quilts should have been burned as soon as the first patients had recovered. The children of a certain physician were one day allower to unlock an antique secretary that had not been opened for years. In it they found tresses of hair that had been cut from the head of children who had died twenty years before of scarlet fever. In a few days they were both stricken with this dread disease. The ease with which this disease is disseminated is appalling. It has been known to be spread to a neighboring house simply from the airing of bed clothing in a window. In侵害 clothing should be washed with any other. The disease has been transmitted in this way. A bouquet of flowers that was sent from a scarlet fever room to a hospital carried the disease. -Emma E Walker in G od Housekeeping. HE IS THE TALLEST SOLDIER Lieutenant in Kaiser's Bodyguard is Over Seven Feet Tall. Undoubtedly the tallest soldier in the world is Josef Handel, who has recently been made a lieutenant in the kaiser's famous bodyguard. During the past year and before he became a soldier he was exhibited under the simple name of "large Josef" in the photogitikon and 124 places of interest in the large cities of Germany as the tallest youth on earth, a distinction to which he is easily entitled, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. Handel is not 22 years old, yet he stands 7 feet 8 inches in his stockings. Though he was earning a big salary he did not hesitate a moment when the kaiser called him to his bodyguard in Potsdam. He would never have been given the honor if the kaiser himself had him perfectly proportioned physically and of sound health. A remarkable fact is that Handel's parents, who live in Leipzig, are people of ordinary size, as are also his brothers and sisters, of whom there are seven. Handel makes a picturesque figure in his guard uniform and the high helmet he wears. Frederick the Great would have given his best pipe to have added such a stent to his guard of tall soldiers.

Useless Advice to Soldiers. The London News calls attentio to the fact that when the building that is now Wellington barracks, Dub lin, was a jail it had the words, "Ceaso to do Evil—Learn to do Well." chieved over the gateway. When it became a barracks the authorities, perhaps realizing the uselessness of such advice in some cases bad the words removed. Pride and Vanity.

Nelson's Hair Dressing is an ideal Hair Fomade. It contains no strong, dangerous chemicals in it, and you can wear it without any bad effects. It does not affect the color of the hair. Nelson's Hair Dressing softens narsh, stubborn, refractory hair, prefers a cooler temperature, and is comfortable with its length, at the same time giving it that rich, glossy look so much desired. As a Hair Grower we consider Nelson's Hair Dressing the equal of anything made. It supplies the needed moisture to nourish the hair. It soils and ashes, and it helps to soften and promote the hair. It stops the hair from falling out, breaking off and splitting at the ends, which is nearly always due to lack of natural oil in the hair. Nelson's Hair Dressing is an excellent remedy for all kinds of Scalp Diseases such as Hair, Itching and scaling of the Scalp, Dandruff, &c. Nelson's Hair Dressing is delightfully perfumed; put in handsome 4-ounce square tin boxes (like one shown in cut), and sold everywhere by druggists and agents at our store. We send us 30 cents in stamps and we will mail you a full size box, postage paid. Address. Nelson Manufacturing Co., Richmond, Va. WE WANT GOOD AGENTS. WRITE FOR PRICES, TERMS, BTC.
