E. chnch Wednesday evening under the auspices of company "D" of the volunteer army of which Mrs W. S Brooks is the captain was a decided success and quite a neat sum realized. The lecture room of the church was appropriately decorated with field corn and jack o'lanterns and after supper some of our most dignified cateries and professional men participated in the old fashioned hollo'ween taffy pulling. The members of the younger social set of the city enjoyed a halloween purge at the home of Miss Ethel Stew art in Highland Park on Tuesday night. The house was lighted by jack o'lanterns and apples were also used as candle holders. The guests assembled at an early hour and music and games were enjoyed. One of the chief attractions of the evening was the gypay fortune-teller who was afterwards identified as Mrs. Bess Hughes. The guests then proceeded to the large orchard where a blazing fire was built and an Indian war dance took place about it. Refreshments were served consisting of cider and ginger-bread, pop corn and peanuts, and all hurried to catch the last car home. NUPTIALS, Married at the residence of D. A.

"The republican party is the ship. All else is the sea." - Hon. Frederick Douglass. "I believe I will have fifty or sixty thousand majority," says Governor Cummins. "My reports show that Iowa will have an old time republican majority," says Chairman Woods of the republican state committee. The Republican majority will be near 100,000 is our guess. Does Mr. Bryan speak the sentiment of the Iowa Democrats when he says in substance, that no good Democrat should vote for a man who hopes to win by the railroads influence. The greatest reason that every laboring man should support Mr. Cummins is because the corporation are against him. Every honest man who recalls the conditions of this country when Cleveland was president will vote the Republican ticket. A vote for Mr. Porter is an indorsement of the utterances of Tillman and Vardaman. If Tillman was a citizen of Iowa he would vote for Mr. Porter next Tuesday. When you go to cast your vote next Tuesday remember that A. B. Cummins heads the Republican ticket.

MAYOR'S CLERK MUDDLE. In Thursday morning Register and Leader we saw an article in which Fred German, the secretary of Mayor Mattern, stated that he lost the pleasure of seeing a Negro lynched in Meriden, Miss. Think of such a statement coming from a man who owes his present position to the vote of the Negroes.

Mrs. Jesse Mitchell of Fulton spent part of last week in Clinton. J. N. Hancock is a new subscriber to the Bystander, and still they come. Those who attended the 13th anniversary of the Autumn Leaf club at Davenport last week were Mr. and Mrs M O Culberson, Mr. and Mrs A. A. Bush, Mrs. Wm. Henderson, Mrs. E. Sayles and Mr Roy Watts. The event was a most enjoyable one. Little Josephine, daughter of Mrs. Artella Davis, was on the slick last week, but is much improved at this time.

"The Negro vote is a purchasable one."—Senator Tillman. --- Home of the most vivid of the emotions which throughed upon the summer pilgrim to the old home were those which awaited him in the family pew of the old meeting house. As he took his seat there, and heard the familiar note of the organ and -the clear, this voices of the choir, the years melt away, the faces changed, the new carpet faded into the well-remembered colors of 50 years ago—and he was in truth a child again. His thought went back to the time when he was allowed to sit on the footstool as a concession to his short, restless leg. He tasted again the huscous raisin which found its way from grandmother's pocket to his mouth, and sniffed the pungent southernwood of the Sunday nosegay in a neighbor's silk-mitted hand. It was in that pew that he first realized to the full the dignity of trousers. It was there that he was proudly conscious of the approving glances of his friends on his first college vacation. He recalled in a flash the intolerable length of the sermon on that Thanksgiving day! The pew has his memorial as well as sweet ones. Most polygonal is that of his mother's funeral and the awful house blazed with flags and thrilled with the music of bugle and drum. The blessing of the volunteers, the prayers for their safety, and the sad, sad series of soldiers' funerals—all these came up to the man's memory in the old pew. Suddenly out of this dreamland he is called by the stir of the congregation—and is conscious that he has missed the good 'pastor's sermon. But perhaps, says the Footh's Companion, God Himself has preached to him out of life's grim struggle—in the vision of some of his own deep experiences and the discovery that they are still potent to arouse the will and confirm the faith with their rich and tender memories. Science and Music Although we speak loosely of sweet sounds as musical, music proper exists in nature not at all. It belongs utterly to art. When Lorenzo said to Jessica: "There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st but in his motion like an angel sing," he spoke beautifully, but in metaphor. Music is the most artificial of the arts, and therefore to some minds, like that of Pater, the purest, since form and meaning are identical. It has also been generally accepted as the most religious. Beethoven exclaimed: "I know that God is nearest to me in my music than to others." And Luther said: "Next to the theology, I give to music the highest place and honor; and we see how David and all the saints have wrought their godly thoughts into verse, rhyme and song." It seems rather strange, therefore, says Collier, that this art, being the most ethereal, should be the one which promises to be most mechanically produced. Its progress has been dependent upon mechanical invention, until the orchestra reached its present state, and now every effort of inventive science is turned on the elimination of the human player. Whether or not this effort shall succeed entirely in giving the very best, it is certain to result in giving music of considerable quality a larger place in the lives of millions, and therefore it ought to be one of the most spiritually valuable directions of modern scientific progress. Americans are slowly awing to the commercial value of preserving natural wonders and objects of historic interest. An important Vactor in the prosperity of Italy and other nations of the old world is the tourist trade. It has been estimated that the money spent by tourists in Italy constitutes a third income of that country. Entry of the United States into the galaxy of world powers has greatly increased its value from the standpoint of the tourists, remarks the Boston Transcript, and steamship companies report a marked increase in the last few years in the number of foreign visitors to this country. Hitherto Americans have not been quick to realize the necessity of preserving and marking the points of interest in the various parts of the country which will attract visitors. A college professor has written a magazine article in which he insists that men of his profession should be paid $15,000 a year each. There can be no such thing as uniformity in the deserts of college professors. A few of them may be worth more than $15,600. The large majority of them are worth nothing. A master in chancery has decided that chickens are hatched, not born. That is where poets have the advantage of chickens. A hotel clerk of Gardner, Mass., has 123 design tattooed on his body, which cost him $355. Every time he turns over a new leaf his wife turns him back to look at the pictures.

INDIANS STAMPEDE HERD Sheridan, Wyo.—A skirmish occurred Wednesday between a band of the renegade Ute Indians and a troop of the Tenth cavalry on Bitter Creek according to word brought by a special courier. The troops had captured 50 Ute ponies and severely frightened fire herders. The troopers were driving away the ponies, 109 Utes, fully armed, surrounded the cavalrymen and the ponies, stampeding the ponies with revolver shots and native war whoops. The Indians, recovered all their ponies but five were killed by the troops in an effort to stop the stampede. The Indians did not fire at the soldiers. The soldiers desisted from attacking the Utes as the reds greatly outnumbered the troops, as they can ascertain from rumor and observation, the Indians will fight with little provocation. Another detachment of the Tenth cavalry that left Sheridan Monday night run across a wandering band of 100 Crow Indians under command of Chief Sweet Mouth. The troopers drove the Crows back to the Crow agency. The Crows said that they were hunting and denied any intention of joining the Utes. Still another squad of the Tenth cavalry fell in with a band of Chieyean Indians, who, on representation that they were hunting, were allowed to go in peace. The Indian guides employed by the federal troops are acting treacherously and leading the troops on false trails to keep the soldiers from overtaking the Utes. These settlers mention among the wily guides, Woman's Dress, American Horse and White Cow Bull. Some troopers of the Tenth cavalry marched all Tuesday night to capture a small band of Utes reported to be encamped on Bitter creek, but found no Indians at the designated place. SOONERS ENTITLED TO CLAIMS No Law to Prevent Settlers to Walk for Signal. Washington—Further reports from agents of the interior department who superintended the opening Monday of the Walker Lake Indian reservation in Nevada have convinced Secretary Hitchcock that the infractions of the regulations governing the opening were not serious enough to warrant a recommendation in favor of invalidating it. Hardness of the action of "soonest" in crossing the line before the signal, the act of congress ordering that the reservation be thrown open to settlement has not been violated. That act did not prescribe that persons should not enter the reservation in advance of the signal, and there is no law under which these persons may be punished. PRAIRIE FIRE 18 DESTRUCTIVE Flames Sweep Path Seven Miles Wide in North Dakota. Dickinson, N. D—Reports coming in about a prairie fire which swept the country south of here Sunday, show it was the worst fire of the kind in 17 years. The fire started north of Stillwater, and swept southeast, burning a path seven miles wide, going by the way of Harken's ranch, and thence toward Serin. Among the heaviest losers were the owners of the Galligan ranch, where buildings, hay and horses were destroyed. The Valley ranch lost its sheep stock, and the D. Z. ranches lost 900 tons of hay, On the Nester and Krenz places, just newly started, buildings, cattle, horses, hogs and machinery were cleaned away and some of the employees were fatally burned. Daring Crimes of Russian Reds. St. Petersburg. — Two bold crimes were perpetrated by revolutionist bandits in the heart of this city Saturday. In both cases bombs were thrown by the robbers. In one the bandits blew up the custom house and escaped with 999,000. In the other they attacked a wagon conveying money to the treasury and stole $123,000, though in a battle with the soldier guard five of the robbers were captured. Death List Numbers Sixteen.

DEATH LIST MAY REACH 70 IN ATLANTIC CITY WRECK Removal of Third Car from Thoroughfare Bridge Abutment Releases Bodies of Three Women Pinned Beneath the Coach. Atlantic City, N. J.—The contention of Coroner Gaskill that a number of persons who lost their lives in the electric train wreck on the Thoroughfare bridge may be buried in the mud where the cars plunged was borne out late Tuesday, when the bodies of Mrs. Paul Felsberg, Mrs. Selah Johnson and that of Mrs. Sarah Miller were recovered from under the car. This car bunged from the abutment in the center of the bridge, with its nose in the mud, and when the wormmen were trying to lift it from the water the bodies worked loose. ing for the effects of his wife and son when the police learned of the recovery of the bodies.

This car bunged from the abutment in the center of the bridge, with its nose in the mud, and when the wormmen were trying to lift it from the water the bodies worked loose. That of Mrs. Miller was pinned fast in the wreckage, but that of Mrs. Felberg floated up to the view of the wormmen. Mrs. Johnson's bevy was found some time later, caught under the wreckage. All were cut and battered. Dead Now Number 58. The finding of these bodies increases the official identified dead to M. and the total number of bodies recover Place of Wreck. ereed to 54. There are still known to be among the dead the bodies of Mrs. Frank Monroe, three-year-old Joseph McElroy, H. N. Burch and Arman Alxis Tedesco, which makes the certain number of the bodies still remaining at various mortuaries three unclaimed bodies. The local officials say the total death list is 62. On the other hand, a great many were early on the ground, and some of those who were rescued from the train are inclined to the belief that seven of them were dead. It is heavy tide and never recovered. It is contended by some that the total loss of life will be about 70. The finding of the body of Mrs. Miller was followed at the temporary morgue by one of the most pathetic scenes in the entire heartrending affair. Mrs. Miller, who was in poor health, had taken the trip to the sea on the electric train with her daughter-in-law and grandson, Leslie. The elder Mrs. Miller's son was here Tuesday to get the effect of his wife and son arranging about the shipment of the bodies, when the body of his mother was brought in. He was sign- Eight Persons Executed.

Miller identified the body of his mother, and almost collapsed after crying out that he was left alone in the world. Only One Unidentified. The police, in going over the effects of some of the victims, at the city hall, found a letter in the pockets of a garment taken from one of the unidentified bodies. It was addressed to William Granning, Penn Door Seah company, Twenty-fifth and Calebville streets, and was told to another brother. The apparent identities one of the victims. The body is in charge of Undertaker Thompson on Chelsea. The one absolutely unidentified and unclaimed body, at Crowley's morgue, is that of a man about 42 years old, weighing about 200 pounds. Aside from the search for the bodies, interest now centers on the Inquest which will be held by Coroner Gaskill on Thursday morning. While he will not express an opinion before the inquiry as to the cause of the accident, it appears from his statement that he is convinced the bridge on which the accident occurred is not as it should be, and may be rebuilt. Resolution of Sympathy. That the officials of the city generally want a most rigid inquiry, so that responsibility for the accident may be placed, is shown by the action of councils in adopting resolutions expressing sympathy for the bereaved and embodying the following: "Resolved, That every officer of the city government who, by reason of his presence in the work of rescue, or for any other reason, can give assistance to the county officials charged with the work of determining the cause of this disaster, is hereby directed to give such assistance, in order that those responsible for the appalling loss of life may be punished and the lives of railroad passengers safeguarded." To Hear Bridgetender. The central figures in the inquiry on Thursday will probably be Daniel Stewart, the old bridge tender, and John Spiker, the towerman, who operates the signals. Stewart declares positively that he locked the draw properly after the schooner yacht Sanbad passed through, and the railroad officials say that in any event the signal for safety would not have been set when the train came along had the rails not been right. John Spiker, the towerman, when asked about this, said that he could not see the tracks clearly enough from his position to see the signals were in line, but he said he got the signal from the tender that they were all right and gave the train a clear track.

OIL COMPANY FINED $5,000 JUDGE BANKER FIXES PENALTY FOR STANDARD CONCERN. Given Limit for Single Violation of Valentine Anti-Trust Law, and A- lowed Usual Time for Appeal. Findlay, O. — In the probate court here Monday, Judge Banker overturned the motion filed by the attorneys of the Standard Oil company for a new trial and imposed a fine of $40,000 against the prosecution in the recent suit against the Standard held here. On motion of the defense the court ordered that the defendant company be allowed 40 days in which to prepare and file its bill of exceptions in the case. On motion by the Standard attorneys, Joseph O. Troup, of Bowling Green, O. and S. H. Tolles, of Cleveland, the sentence imposed was ordered suspended for a period of 60 days for the purpose of filing a petition on error in this case. It was also ordered that the criminal informations pending against John D. Rockefeller, the Bicycle Pipe Line company and the Manhattan Oil company be continued until the next term of court. The fine imposed by Judge Banker was the limit for one offense, though the law stipulates that each day that the illegal combination business is carried on constitutes a separate offense. Taking this view of the statute, it was possible for the court to impose an aggregate of fines amounting to over $6,000,000 DEATH OF JAMES D. YEOMANS Former Member of Interstate Board Dead at Washington. Washington. — James D. Yeomans, formerly a member of the interstate commerce commission, died suddenly of a complication of diseases. He was 61 years of age. Mr. Yeomans took part in many of the important cases brought before the interstate commerce commission.

He was succeeded on the interstate commerce commission by former United States Senator Francis M. Cookell of Missouri. Mr. Yeomans had private business interests in this city, to which he devoted himself after his retirement from public life. Judge Yeomans, as he was familiarly known, had a wide acquaintance with public men and prominent citizens here and, was universally esteemed.

"Our baby had that dreadful complaint, infantile Eczema, which afflicted him for several months, commending at the top of his head, and at last covering his whole body. His sufferings were untold and constant misery, in fact, there was nothing we could do to help him. We finally procured a full set of the Cuticula Remedies, and in about three or four days he began to show a brighter spirit and really laughed, for the first time in a year. In about ninety days he was fully recovered Praise for the Cuticula Remedies has always been our greatest pleasure, and there is nothing too good that we can do to help our baby. For forty-six months saved our baby's life, for he was the most awful sight that I ever beheld, prior to the treatment of the Cuticula Remedies.

Artificial Silk the Latest- In Gothenburg, Sweden, at some place in its neighborhood, will soon be built a large factory for the manufacture of artificial silk for export. A company has recently been organized there with a capital not to be less than $160,800 and not to exceed $422,100, with the purpose of building a factory and exploiting an invention made by Engineer R. W. Strehlren, of Djursholm, Sweden, for the manufacture of vegetable silk. Excluding experiments, this industry is new in Sweden, and it is claimed that the silk manufactured from nitro-cellulose by Mr. Strehlren's method has just as fine an appearance and is just as strong or durable as natural silk or even stronger. It is further stated that the silk has been tested or tried in Swedish or German cloth factories and that very favorable reports have been received about it—Consular Reports.

IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth. WELLS IS CENSURED. Sensational Incident in Grain Hearing at Des Moines. Des Moines.—Sensational Incidents marked the offer of testimony before the interstate commerce commission in session in Des Moines on the 26th, as to alleged fixing of prices for grain by the Des Moines Cereal club for the members of the State Grain Dealer's association, the pooling of elevator business at many Iowa, points and other phases of the relation of the railroads to the grain business of the state. INTIMATE JURY TAMPERING. Four Members of Polk County Gran Jury Report. Des Moines.—With the intimacy of jury tampering and charges the three members of the grand jury refused to accept evidence which was conclusive in its character, Foreman M. Kelly of the Polk county gran jury and three other members filed with County Clerk B. F. Coffin the following report in the sensational bribery case against General Manager G. B. Hippee of the Des Moines Cil Railway company and A. M. Hodgis After several members of the cereal club had testified that they could not remember that the organization had ever voted to fix prices for grain, R. W. Harper took the stand and testified that as a guest of the club he had often attended its banquets and meetings, which were held at the Grant club weekly, and that after discussion of prices the vote of the meeting was taken on motion by the presiding officer, George A. Wells, secretary of the Grant Dealers' association, and expressed his firm hands as a casks for quotations for the hands week, furnished to members of the association by Ward G. Case of this city. Commissioner Lane of the inter state commerce commission gave the members of the cereal club, who had testified as to prices not having been at the meetings of the organization at opportunity to amend their testimony, after Mr. Harper left the stand. Secretary Wells took the stand, on this invitation, and said that he had not intended to testify that he had not put motions of this character at every meeting of the club and was about to proceed with further amendments when Commissioner Lane, leaking quickly over his desk toward Mr. Wells, created a sensation by the Inquiry: "Didn't you try to mislead the commission on that point?" Mr. Wells said that he had not. "Why did you testify as you did?" continued Commissioner Lane. "Did you not try to create the impression in the commissioners' minds that nothing was done to fix prices at those meetings?" Didn't you do that? Mr. Wells insisted that he had not done so. "Was not that your distinct effort in answer to the questions?" persisted Mr. Lane. "No, sir," replied Mr. Wells. "Didn't you in every way, try to answer in every way, to the questions of Mr. Marble (the commission's lawyer) put to you at the time, when asked in regard to fixing prices?" Mr. Wells started to make some explanation when he was dismissed from the stand. The incident was sensational in the state, following it information relative to the fixing of prices in union for the low grain market was extracted from witnesses without much difficulty. Ward G. Case, who was said to furnish the price card to the members of the state's grain dealers, inigned to the stand and interrogated, in detail with respect to the cards. He was not certain about much of the information he disclosed. This earned for him many sharp questions from the attorney and stoneman, about what to leave the stand, after denying that his cards were the result of the fixing of prices by the Des Moines Cereal club, formerly, or the grain dealers' association, now, Commissioner Lano asked him the question: "What is the value of your cards?" "Reference, I presume," said Mr. Case. "And they wouldn't be worth much at that if the people who take them do not know more about it than you seem to. So the comment of Com- Clark. The witnesses and allegations disclosed by their testimony in the hearing were to the effect that the grain dealers' association is making a fight against the farmers' elevator which is not a member of the association or has the penalty clause by which its terminal market is possible; that extensive arrangements have existed and now exist in Iowa, which control the amount of business by computing elevators; that prices of the "regular" elevators governed by a card issued here by Ward G'Case; that this card formerly was the result of the weekly discussion and frequent vote of the members of the Des Moines and members of the grain dealers' association regard this card as the basis for prices; that the paid the farmers; and that independent elevators are forced to pool arrangements with line elevators on penalty of losing business, by price manipulation. 1 DEAD, 4 HURT IN MINE Explosion in Dempster Coal Shaft South of Ottawaw. Ottumwa—One man was killed, one fatally injured and three seriously hurt in an explosion at the Dempster coal mine, two miles south of town The dead: KINSEY HUSTON. The injured: O. S. Lowe, dying. John Hayes, ankle broken, badly brushed about the body. Lloyd Bichannan head out. The mine is small one and the five men constituted the force of miners employed. They had quit of the day and lighted fuses preparatory to blasting in order to have coal ready for morning. All the men were in the sage when a windy shot caused the explosion. The force of the explosion shot the cage out of the 190 foot shaft, hurling the men in all directions on out top. Huston fell back in the shaft and struck the bottom head first. The miners are all residents of South Otumwa. Suicide at Montezuma. Montezuma—William R. Palmer, an old and respected citizen living west of town, committed suicide by hanging. INTIMATE JURY TAMPERING. Four Members of Polk County Grand Jury Make Report. Des Moines—With the intimation of jury tampering and charges that three members of the grand jury refused to accept evidence which was conclusive in its character, Foreman M. Kelly of the Polk county grand jury and three other members filed with County Clerk B. F. Coffin the following report in the sensational bribery case against General Manager G. B. Hippe of the Des Moines City Railway company and A. M. Hadley, foreman of the J. S. rook farm south of Des Moines. "Judge James Howe, presiding judge of the undersigned, members of the grand jury for Polk county for this term of court, desire to make the following report; "That we have had submitted to us the testimony in the Sputo of town vs. G. B. Hipppe and A. M. Halley. We have carefully considered the testimony and we convinced there is no charge made. This grand jury, with their evidence before it, has failed to判决. Because of the importance of this case to the property owners, taxpayers, and general public of Polk county, we ask that it be submitted to a future grand jury. (Signed) M. Reliley, foreman, G. M. Grinstead, F. M. Howard, J. W. Coffin. No indictments were returned. The report alone answered the fact that the grand jury had for days hung four to three and that all efforts to change the standing was futile. Moreover, after the report was filed, County Clerk B. F. Coffin, brother-in-law of Charles Horner, one of the members of the grand jury, who refused to return an indictment, held up the report and said that it was a public document. The situation was pronounced as remarkable. But the efforts to squeeze the report did not prove successful, nor three members of the grand jury and the foreman sat down and securing the attention of witnesses, dictated the above statement, which is substantially, if not literally, the same as the clerk in the afternoon. They expressed the greatest indignation because an effort was made to keep from the public what they thought was an effort to defeat justice. A complete investigation will be made by County Attorney Miller, who declares the evidence will be submitted to a new jury ED CHAMBERS FREED Rich Guthrie Center Farmer, Released by Grand Jury. Guthrie Center—After lying in the county jail for the last two weeks charged with the murder of Charles Neal. Ed Chambers has been given his liberty. He had been bound over to await the action of the grand jury, but that body, after deliberating a half day on the case, refused to return an indictment. Neal was skilful and killed near Bagley, where his skis ago, in found some hours later. The dead man was a tenant on a farm owned by Chambers, who is wealthy and a bachelor 60 years old. Chambers was arrested charged with the crime, as it was alleged, feeling had existed 60 years two. The authorities are continuing the investigation into Neal's death, as his relatives insist he did not commit suicide and hold to the murder theory. A large sum of money was still on his person when the body was found, that he could rather than robbery actuated the murder, if one was committed. DAVENPORT MEN OBEY LAW. Cause Surprises by Asking Voters' Constant to Sell Beer. Davenport—The announcement that a statement of consent to the sale or consent to exhorting liquors to Davenport will signatures of voters at the election was received with surprise here. It is the first move the two big breweries and 200 saloons of Davenport have made to comply with the provisions of the law. It is now intended to comply with several reasonable features of the law." The movement is also understood to be partly for self-protection, the Davenport brewers having found it pretty easy to get their hands on the demands of alleged reformers, who it blackmailed them successfully on account of the business never having secured the authority of the law. One Davenporter recently sold as $8.00 business a bar to the brewer for the brewery, and known in which they were compelled to make "investments" that would not appeal to men of good business ability. Struck Rich Copper Mine. Des Molnes—Out near Helena, Montana, that have recently opened two or three copper mints that have proved wonderfully rich. One of them is the Helena, owned largely by Des Molnes people. They commenced getting ore at a depth of ten feet and are now in ore all the time. Mr. Adams, banker at Scranton, Iowa, is one of the men who is also interested in the property. The stock is being held by the Pugh investment company, 310 Crocker Blvd. Des Molnes, and they are putting on the market at ten (10) cents per share. They expect it to go to one dollar per share very soon. montana copper is making, men rich every year. War 7 Killed While Hunting. Brooklyn—Jay Woodie, a young man about eighteen years of age, was fatally shot and died a few hours later. He and several companions were squirrel hunting, and were resting in the woods of one of his friends who accidentally discharged, the load striking young Woodie in the right hip. It tore through into the abdominal cavity with fatal results. Catalonia, Italy, has a plant for the manufacture of artificial marble. My cousin Nell has a decidedly strong will. You would not think it from a casual observation, for she is fair and fuzzy, and wears lots of laces and fummymiddles. Now, though Nell has a strong will, my own is still stronger, and, in spite of the fact that she has refused my three times, I fully intend her to marry me. I inquired the matter carefully over all one night, and the next day I went for an excursion by myself up the Hudson to the site of an attractive old ruin that originally represented an Old World castle. I didn't stay very long, but I made a few important observations, and I suggested that I should take Nell for a boating excursion. She raised all the usual objections, which my strong will quickly remonstrate and finally she consented. She seated in the stern and opened her parasol. I was glace when I saw the ruin is slight, and we landed near a cluster of trees. After we had had our lunch we both felt happier, and our spirits rose. "I like this," said Neil. "You were a darling to bring me, Jack." The moment seemed propitious. "Nell," I said, "will you marry me?" Nell grabbed a handful of daisies and fung them at me. "No, you silly fellow!" she said. "Very well," she replied contentedly, "we will see." "Well," replied Nell, deliberately, "if ever I do consent I'll 'keep my promise.'" "I shall not forget that!" I answered as I answered. "Let's go and have a look at those castellike ruins." Nell, after some demure gathered up her skirts and began to second the winding stair. I followed. At the top was a room with a small, but heavy door, the bolts of which were on the outside. The windows were mere slits, through which a hand could scarcely pass. Nell went up to one of them to look out. I slipped back across the room and darted out through the door. The next moment it was shut, and the bolt in place. I heard Nell run across the room. "Jack," she called out, "don't be so silly! Open the door." "Nell," I said quietly, "will you marry me?" "No I won't," she cried, and from here I knew that she was angry. "Very well," I answered, "then the door stays shut." "Jack, what are you doing?" "Sitting on the stairs," I replied. "How long are you going to stay there?" "I'll you agree to marry me," I answered. "Then I guess you'll stay there till you're a fixture," she retorted; and I heard her move away from the door. I calmly lighted a cigarette, and then waited. After awhile she came to the door. "Jack, do open the door." "Will you promise to marry me?" I asked. "Is it likely?" she answered. "What should I do with a husband with a temper like yours?" "I should have an equally obstinate wife," replied, coolly; "that would balance Jack, 'I hate you!' she cried. "Nell, I love you!" I answered. There was another pause. "Jack, if you will open the door I'll give you an answer." "You've given me" that one four times, I replied. "Perhaps it will be a different one this time." "There must be no perhaps in the matter," I returned. "When I get out of here I'll never speak to you again!" she cried. An hour passed away, and then I heard Near near the door once more, Jack, must be getting late, and mamma doesn't know where I am. "You are in safe-keeping." I answered. I heard her stamp her foot. "Jack, if I don't go home soon, what will people say?" "The usual gossip," I replied calmly. "I'll never forgive you!" she said, passionately. "Will you marry me?" I asked again. "No! no! no!" she cried, and once more I heard her retreat from the door. Another hour passed, and although the stairs were hard, I stuck manfully to my post. "Jack," I heard Nell's voice once more, "doesn't it strike you that you are a mean coward?" "On the contrary," I repiled, "it strikes me that I am a man of heroic determination." "But I am not a woman of heroic determination," she answered, and her voice broke with a little sob. I sprang up opened the door. "I was tired," and I caught her in my arms, "I was a brute—her utter brute; but, darling, I do want you so very much." "It was the very illest way to try and get me," she answered, with her shoulder on my shoulder; "for if I didn't love you, Jack, I really would never speak to you again." Why Nell refused me four times is a problem which I have not yet solved.—N. Y. Weekly. Vaccination and Chloroform.

How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs has come into general favor in many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs, obtained, by an original method, from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.

Oct. 29.—For the first time in the year 1906 and since the appearance of our special Buxton Souvenir Number last November, were ye editor permitted to rest his 'cary feet and steady his gull in the midst of the hospitable camp of Buxton. Since our special number, above referred to, there has been several Buxton write up; special numbers, editions, etc., by various works and dailies, and yet one to go each year will find enough new enterprises, new building additions, improvements, etc., to make a good and interesting write up. Perhaps the most interesting and best item was on last Sunday, when the corner stone of another new colored church was laid by the M. W. U. Grand Lodge of Iowa, A. P. & A. M., under the auspices of Cedar Grove Lodge of Buxton, assisted by the visiting brethren of other lodges with an escort of Sir Knights from De Moines. Grand Master, W. H. Milligan, had charge of the Masonic ceremonies, which was well executed considering the short notice in which the Grand Master and lodge had. At 2 p.m. the Buxton Cornet Bard assembled at their hall in the Y. M. C A. building and marched to the Masonic ball in Coopertown, where the line of march was formed, beaded by the band, then came the Sir Knights from Des Moines, Master Masons of Cedar Grove Lodge 18. of Buxton, visiting Master Masons and grand officers followed by carriages and pedestrians. It was a beautiful sight in the bright sunlight. The exercises were opened by music by the band after which Rev. C. H. Mendahlshen read the scripture and Rev J. A. Jackson delivered an able prayer, after which Geo. H. Woodson introduced Rev. J. O. E. Wimbush, the pastor who is building the church. A collection amounting to $23 48 was taken up. Rev. Wimbush stated that Governor Cummins could not be present but sent a letter, which was read by John L. Thompson. Hon. N. E. Kendell, the present representative and candidate for re-election, was introduced and made a good speech; he is always a sequester. John L. Thompson of Des Moines was next to be introduced, and his eloquent plea for better morals and purer leaders with good character and honest intent, held the vast audience of about 2,000 in wonder. The next speaker introduced was Geo. H. Woodson of Oskaloosa, whose wit and oratory always win the audience. He made a strong plea for independent citizenship, manhood and free thought. Grand Master Milligan with his Grand Lodge preformed the balance of the ceremony in laying the corner stone as only Masons can properly lay corner stones. Thus ended the exercises. This church ought to be a great factor in the solution of the mighty problems that confronts our race in Buxton. There are now five colored churches and two white churches here. All now have their own buildings, except the Congregational and the Church of God or Saints. Buxton is a great town to study our race, for here we have the high and low, the good and bad, the educated and uneducated, the law-abiding and law-breaking. There are now about 6,000 people here and fully 5,000 are colored, and since we were here last year there have been some large new buildings built, among which is a large three story frame building for the post office, in which on the ground floor is the pres-room of the Buxton Gazette, on the second floor is the postoffice, which is a large room office; on the third floor is the Justice office, dexius and the composing room of the Gazette. Other new buildings are the Company stone warehouse, new blacksmith and machine shops. Then the new boys Y. M. C. A. building in course of erection, to the regular Y. M. C. A. building, will be another building when completed will be the best equipped Y. M. C. A. building for colored in the world. On the South End are several new restaurants, drug store and etc. Next week we will speak of some of the business men and individuals who are doing well.
