Mr. Editor;— Kindly permit me to answer the following question through your paper, viz. Why have you refused to take part in the Chapman meetings to be held in Des Moines Dec. 2nd to 16th? First. I cannot see the wisdom of calling another to do the work which the ministers of the city can and should do themselves. Secondly. There has not been a united effort on the part of the ministers and laymen of the city of have the ungody converted. Third. I am opposed to the plan of setting aside a special place and minister to preach the gospel to the colored people—the colored people of Highland Park, East Des Moines, South Des Moines, North Des Moines and all parts of the city must come to Second and Center streets if they are to hear the gospel during this series of meetings. How unlike the plan or gnated by our God, who was no respect of persons, and who did not seek a particular place or people to preach or teach the way of eternal life. His command was "Go ye into all the world and preach my gospel to every creature." Fourth. It is an unnecessary expense imposed upon the people. I am only one man and these are my views and oppositions. If in your way mankind can be brought to love God and oive a godly life, may God spay you. But I cannot find such a plan in my Bible. The kingdom of God will come when man to man the world over will be just and honest and true and lovely, for only in this way are we Christ like. H W PORTER, Pastor of Union Congregational Church.

AERO AMERICANS ELECTED TO OFFICE. The recent election has brought about some good results for the Afro-American. In many parts of the United States where the colored votes were honestly voted and counted and where they voted as a unit, they in many cases won, defeating the candidate or reducing his majority materially. Then again several colored men were elected to offices of prominence and influence. While we do not remember the names and offices of all who were successful, but if the unofficial returns be correct the following have been elected: Hon. F. L. Barnett, Municipal Judge of Chicago, salary $6,000 per year. He was bitterly opposed by the Democratic party and many so-called white Republicans, however, he won by only 499 plurality, while his white Republicans won by more then 4,000 to 6,000 plurality. Dr. Alexander R. Lane of Chicago was elected to the legislature to succeed Ed Green. Hon. L. H. Palmer of Milwaukee, Wis., was elected to the legislature from the wealthiest and almost exclusive white district in the city; the first colored man thus honored in the Wolverine state. He is a caterer by trade and has made a success at his trade. Hon. James Ellis is the only colored man to sit in the lower house of the West Virgian legislature. He was elected from Fayette county. There were four elected to the territorial convention of Oklahoma, who will help formulate the state constitution. Hon. H. P. McMcake, formerly state auditor of Kansas, was defeated by only three votes from Guthrie Center. Oscar DePriest was re-elected county commissioner of Chicago. We might say to the colored voters of Iowa and Missouri, we must get a move on us for we are now behind our sister states in electing colored men to the legislature. Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky, Arkansas and Texas have all honored her colored men. Why not Iowa and Missouri. Missouri's Undeveloped Re- Elsewhere will be found my brief observations of a part of Missouri, her people, the conditions and her resources. While Missouri is a much older state then Iowa, yet she has not developed her hidden wealth as the yankee in Iowa. Up here the average farmer is saving every particle of his farm products, all of his fruit and utilizing every acre of his ground, even selling off his timber to the shops, mills and factories. Then he is going underneath the ground like a mole, digging out all the mineral and selling it; while in Missouri the average farmer only cares to make a good living and live without much exertion. They have this year let hundreds of acres of fruit and thousands of bushels of apples, peaches, pears, and grapes go to waste. So plentiful were apples that they were sold as low as 10 cents per bushel. She has thousands of acres of timbered and mineral land unused, and her farming and dairy interest is not where the yankee would put it. In her cities her buildings are not what they ought to be. There is not a town in Iowa with a population of 8 or 10 thousand but what has electric street cars or interurban cars, and the greatest needs of the colored people is better school houses and facilities and more teachers and the enforcement of the compulsory law. It is a wonderful undeveloped state with a good class of people. For Rent- Five room house 818 Park street. City water, sewer and gas. Inquire of E. Tracy Blagburn, City Hall. This intolerable, inexcuseable diabolical American race or color prejudice will continue how long? Will end where? This time the color line breaks out in San Francisco, Cal., where the whites have excluded the Japanese children from attending the white public schools. The Japan government has rightly become indignant and our great government has been forced to offer an apology for the insult, but she never yet oTered an apology for separating the colored American children here and giving them poor school buildings with little accommodations. Is this justice? Is this a square deal? Is this equal rights and priviliges? Is this the American boasted land of the free and the home of the brave? Away with this sham, away with this hypocrisy. Some day the darker races will arise and sweep the proud Anglo Saxon from control. EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS. Our next stop was Alba but as we were there only a few hours we will not speak about it. Into Kirkville, Mo., we landed there to be first met with this irrisistable inhuman American race or color prejudice by being refused a shoe shine in a cheap barber's shop. We were forced ourselves in a position to be in untid'd. Kirkville's, the county seat of Adair county and the seat of Dr. Still Osteopathy College for whites only. Here we found a nice well contented class of colorful people, most of them owning their own home. Mr. Eubanks has purchased a nice home on S. Franklin street. He works in one of their homes. He is teacher in the public school. Mr. W. B. Martin owns a nice home, doing well. Mrs. Lizzie Courtey owns a beautiful home, she is a race woman. Mr. H. Johnson is still adding to his home. Mrs Jones owns valuable property as does also Prof. Frater the principal of the public schools. He is an earnest worker, experience, honest, earnest worker and has been here many years.

There are four colored churches two Baptist, one A. M. E. and one M. E. They all seem to be getting along but not so well as we think they should.

Practical Review of Situation at A. M. E. Conference by Bishop Tyres. El Reno, O. T., Nov. 17.—That the negroes of Oklahoma are considerably agitated over the lynching question has been evidenced by the chartering of an lynching organization and by the promotion value as given to the question by the negro Methodists of the territory in their conference at El Reno. The New State Anti Lynch Law bureau, which is backed by prominent negroes of the two territories and was granted an Oklahoma charter during week by the territorial secretary, and is capitalized at $25,000. Inject is stated to prevent lynchings and to prevent the crimes which lead to lynchings. This incorporators include W. H. Twine of Muscogee, G. W. Chadwick, E. S.ddier, T. D. Jack, Franklin of Guhrite, S. M. Dillard ofimore and S. D. Russell of Langston. Bishop Evans Tyre of Nashville, who presided at the A. M. E. conference here, dwell upon the question at great length in addresses. "This government is all right and the laws are laws for everything but the wrong men have gotten hold of the government in most instances," he said in opening the conference. Where Hope Lies "I pray to take God night and day, ask Him to take care of my people and deliver them from violence. Violence is the argument of cowards and unwise people. Shotguns correct nothing; swords conquer nothing. Those who use the sword must perish by the negro has the most powerful wielding weapon in the world. Conquest. It is the sword of spirit. It is faith in God." Urging the suppression of the criminal element of the race, he said: "Tell it so that all the world may hear. Print it in the heaven's blue so that he who runs may read, that the negroes of the land will frown upon him. Print it down, down, down criminals and these criminals until not one shall be left in the land, and a black face shall be a badge of truth of peace, of protection to innocence. No Talk of Africa. "You have a splendid opportunity here in the West, as many of our people are coming out this way because it is getting hot for them down in Dixie. A man should live where life and property is safe and where he can get protection for himself and our future in this country. I don't want to hear you talk about going back to Africa. We are black Americans, and as such must live in America. While you can not measure up to your white brother in every particular, let us do right and trust in God. We are solutions, condoning lynchings and lawlessness of every grade, and calling upon the Government to put an end to it in all parts of the country, were adopted by the conference. They were presented by Rev. W. E. Guy, who has been prominent in educational work in New York. H. Heard said in an address before the conference that he was discouraged and that it looked very dark for his people. "We purchase property and improve it," he said, "and just about the time we are ready for enjoying life, a mob drives us out. We are as long as God lives," declared Bishop Trreee. The Political Side. Negro leaders in Oklahoma do not generally seem to be greatly worried over the efforts to make the race question an issue in politics, and many of the better educated negroes in Oklahoma are the comparatively small number of negroes in Oklahoma, and the slight possibility of their getting any considerable political power. CITY MAYOR'S OFFICE. Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 12, 1906. Editor of ...e Bystander Des Moines, Iowa. Dear Sir: In your issue of November 9, 1906, I note an article in which I am quoted as saying I missed the pleasure of seeing a negro hung while on my recent trip south. I take thinemsame of those who have sent me such statement and knowing that you do not wish to put me in a false light before your people. I hope you will give this letter the same publicity you gave the article condemning me. Very respectfully, Mr. German Secretary to Mayor Matter. In regard to the above article I can say that Mr. German brought to my office the two represiers to whom he gave the interview, one a Capital reporter and the other the Register-Leader and thy stated that he never used the words mentioned in the article did not mention it in his paper at all, while of course the other one did. We are glad to note the correction The Editor. Articles Misinterpreted. This is an age of illustrated books and periodicals, and there has been much complaint of late that the artists too often misinterpret the meaning of an author, or wilfully misrepresent him in the perverse carry out of their own ideas. Indeed, sometimes it seems as if the illustrator had not read the passage he pretends to picture, and has drawn entirely on his imagination for the work of his pen call. This complaint of the artist's failure to interpret properly the work of a novelist or poet is an old one, and in the past numerous protests have been made against the manner in which works of fiction have been illustrated. The New York Mail calls attention to the fact that Charles Dickens indignantly objected to Hablot K. Brown's manner of Illustrating "Dombey a Son," especially in his presentation of Paul and Mrs. Pipchin. He also found fault with the caricatures of George Cruikshank in his stories, and, indeed, not let some of them that were submitted to him appear. No doubt many people got their idea of Dickens' characters from the picture of the famous caricaturist, and the break between the two men Cruikshank of them was his own original conceptions. Dickens refused some drawings by Thackery because he thought they were not adapted to his creations, and there is no doubt that Dickens took little advice from his contemporaries, though he did use many of the peculiarities of his friends in the people he introduced into his novels. He was a realist, but in an exaggerated vein, which has no counterpart in the realism of our day, and his father was burlesged in Wilkins McBewner and his mother in Mrs. Nickleby, while he made Leigh Hunt masquerade as Harold Skipnole. The dwarf, Miss Moucher, was taken from real life, and the archetype was much incensed over the fantastic dress in which she was made to appear. Nevertheless, Dickens did not want any mistakes made in the portraying of his characters by the pencil, any more than he wanted his stories unsatisfactorily dramatized for the stage. This misrepresentation by artists, however, could be reformed altogether, we believe, if they would always consult the authors before they completed their tasks. Women to Save the Nation Women to save the Nation. The three evils most menacing to the country to day are (1) debasement of moral standards in politics and business; (2) absorption by a few, at unwarranted cost to the many, of the common wealth, and (3) unreasonable and violent expression of resentment by the multitude. With each of these gerlis the American woman is quite as competent to cope as the American may, says North American Review. That she would be less tolerant of moral deficiency in a candidate for public office requires no demonstration; that, as a careful householder and ambitious mother constantly practicing economies for the advancement of her children, she would take an active part in restraining monopolies from adding undue profits to the cost of living seems evident; that her keen personal interest in the preservation and protection of homes and property would inevitably constitute her a conservative balance against the increasing hordes of foreign-born voters may also, we submit, be accepted as a certain. For the purposes, therefore, of purifying the ballot, of establishing and maintaining lofty standards as to the qualifications required of candidates for public office, of effecting an everer distribution of earnings, of providing a heavier balance of disinterestedness and conservatism against greed and radicalism, we reiterate the expression of our firm belief that universal suffrage has now become, not only desirable, but almost a paramount issue. It is Spanish gossip that when Prima pon, afterward Queen, Victoria complained to her uncle, King William that some ladies of the court in Ma- drid objected because the proposed to entertain English friends who were not of the royal family, her uncle ad- vised her to "be a sensible girl," and said, "Do not make enemies. Respect people's stupidities when necessary. In time, if you are wise, you will have everything your own way." Whether the king ever said this or not, it is pretty good advice for everyone. The negro who has just died at Washington at the age of 114 declared that he had a clear recollection of the war of 1812 and the capture of Wash- ington by the British, but strangely enough he never claimed to have been a body servant of George Wash- ington. A train robber was captured out west a few days ago while he was sleep. It probably surprised the detectives to find that a train robber ever found it necessary to go to sleep. The arms taken from the Cuban revolutionists have been thrown into the sea. That is pretty certain to dampen insurrections for a time at least. In view of the fact that Premier Clémentosus is a habitual duelist, the new French ministry can reckon or having peaceful sessions. Hair Dressing MINNEAPOLIS BUDGETARIAN Cold! Cooler! Colder! Cold!!

E. church, Baptist and Episcopal, each having a pastor fitted for the job. The Baptist church is a man of sterling qualities and is constantly on the lookout for the poor and seeing that no man or woman—stranger hee, he should they die—buried in a pauper's grave. Father Lealted is serving his first year in the Episcopal church. Rev. Graves who has just been his year's work is starting out with his church in fine working order. Every department of the church is working with each other department in doing the most for race development. The Men's Union club of St. James A. M. E. church put itself on record on Monday night the 5th inst., when it held a special meeting known as "founder's day" and high tributes were paid to Rev. Geo. W. Gaines, the church's senior church work in the church several years ago. Addresses were delivered by Mr. T. H. Lvl les on behalf of the church. He paid a glowing tribute to Rev. Gaines as having performed woof-ful service to the church in the Northwest and felt that he volted the sentiment of the entire Northwest as being ready to have a representative on the committee having given one or more bishops and the Northwest is entitled to one. Mrs. O. C. Hall represented the women of the club and placed them on a high plane with man, ever ready to cooperate with him in every great movement. Mr. F. D. Parkes served as spokesman of the club in a direct address to Rev. Gaines—the father of Men's club work in St. Paul. He assured the women of the club that he rubbed forward by those who were true standard bearers. Mr. Parker I. an earnest club worker. Maston Fred Parker, Jr. gave a humorous selection. Mr. O. C. Hall the club president, and Mrs. T. H. Lyles graced the platform with her presence for it was none other than Mrs. T. H. Lyles who put Minnesota on the map in Women's club work. The choir with Dr. Lenses the white hatred, fled that rendered excellent music and Mrs. Block-Mason gave one of her sweet solos. Rev. Gaines, who was present, as it was his quarter here, rented to all addresses in his own way and made latin innumerous upon his hearers. He spoke of the quarter's services as having been greatly pleased with the church had been beautifully decorated with pains and flowers. Ms. Magda lent the baby member of the Stewardesses—as captain of one of the bands reorted the largest sum of money by any one club. She brought in $0 and Mr. Green Bible, which he had promised to do to what ever cut in the band. Along all lines our people are making great developments and from time to time we shall endeavor to give through your columns such acts of the St. Paulites that will be readable and beneficial to those who do not know us.

Webster City.—A case of unusual interest to Ca-holies all over Iowa has been filed in this city. It is entitled C. J. Sherman, John Handelt et al vs. Archbishop John J. Keane, Franc W. Altman and Peter Kiene, all the defendants of Dubuque. The action is brought against them for judgment in the sum of $3,065.98. The case involves subscriptions made by the plaintiffs toward the erection of a Catholic church and parsonage at Williams. Because the terms of the contract under which the subscriptions were made were not carried out, suit was brought for the recovery of the money subscribed. The district court in this city decided in favor of the plaintiffs and an appeal was taken by Archilop Keane to the supreme court, ending the trial on appeal, Archilop Keane and two other defendants named, filed a bond in the court to ensure payment of the judgment in case the supreme court affirmed the decision of the lower court. The finding was finally affirmed and the bond to force fulfillment of the judgment of the district and supreme courts. The case involves a long story and some most peculiar circumstances. The Catholic church at Williams was destroyed some years ago by a cynose, and a subscription paper was trecelated to obtain money to erect another church as well as a parsonage. The parsonage was resigned of late Archbishop Hennessy. In Williams are a number of German speaking people and Messrs. Shorman, Handelford and others agreed to contribute toward the erection of the new church and parsonage upon the express understanding with the archbishop that a priest be sent to the parish who spoke both English and German. This he failed to do and the archbishop sent to the charity Archbishop Hennessy died and was succeeded by the present rightshirt. Keane. The latter, too, refused to carry out the agreement with the German Catholics of Williams. Both Hennessy and Keane based their refusal upon the grounds that the best interests of the church would be conserved if the Williams priest spoke only English. Things ran along some time with gaiting more than protests from fissers, Sherman, Handelfelt and others. Finally, however, when it came evident the archbishop would change the agreement under which their subscriptions were taken. There were fourteen of the plaintiffs and they won in both the lower and higher courts. The amount of their original judgment was but $2,420.10, let costs and interest have run it up to $3,065.98. DEDICATE TWO MONUMENTS. Gubernatorial Party at Lookout Mount ain and Sherman Heights Chattanooga, Tenn.—Forty-three years from the day the battle of Lookout Mountain was fought, the state of Iowa yesterday dedicated a monument on the scene of the hardest gaiting. A large delegation from the state, headed by Governor Cummins, was present. A large team commemorates the services of William Brigade, Osterhaus division, Fifteenth army corps, to which the Fourth, Twenty-Fifth and Thirteenth Iowa infantry and first Iowa battery belonged. Addresses were made by Governor Gustavo J. H. Weaver, and Colonel Alonso of the Ninth Iowa. Yesterday afternoon another monument at Sherman Heights, on Missionary Ridge was dedicated. It honors the Fifty Infantry, Sixth Infantry and Seventeenth Iowa volunteer infantry. Commitments, which are elaborate and costly, mark the right and left of the Union line attack in the battle, raising the edge of Chattanooga. VAIN FIGHT TO SAVE BOY. Harold Stager Cremated in Parental Home at Dows. Clarion—Harold Stager, a 9-year-old boy of Dows, is dead and his father, George Stager, is in the hospital terribly burned as the result of a gasoline explosion. Stager runs a restaurant at Dows, his family living over the place of business. The gasoline stove in the kitchen was left open during the evening and when the propeller entered the room with a lighted lamp an explosion occurred, setting fire to the building. All the inmates escaped except the boy, who was forgotten in the excitement. As soon as the father learned his son was in the building he dashed for the door and entered the room, but was driven back by the test. It was not until his left hand and forearm were practically burned off that he desisted and fled to save his own life. The charred remains of the son were found in the ruins after the fire had burned out. The father was taken to the hospital at Iowa Falls, but recovery is doubtful. Banded Ears Cause Death. Webster City—Her head binned up so that she could not hear, Miss Pertha Shealdhall of Radolf, Hamilton county, was instantly killed at Ellsworth by a fast Northwestern horse she held by her father, who years old, was on her way home from prayer meeting and on account of the intense cold had wrapped her shawl around her ears tightly. When she reached the crossing by the depot here she walked straight across with her ears tucked in. Grace caught her in the middle of the tracks. She suffered a number of wounds and the body was horribly mangled. Death must, however, have been instantaneous. The train does not stop at Ellsworth but rushes Supreme Court Decides Against Wife Murderer. Des Moines—The state supreme court has denied Locis Busse, the Butler county murderer, a writ of habeas corpus. This means that Busse, after escaping the gallows on three previous occasions, will have to hang Friday, December 14, unless his attorneys can devise some new means of delay. It has been reported that appeal court officials in the United States supreme court on constitutional grounds, but unless such appeal is possible Busse is now face to face with death. The last legislature refused to intercede in Busse's behalf, declaring that it had no authority to commute death sentences, and no hope exists an appeal to the legislature. Governor Cummins has three times fixed the date for Busse's execution after the time set by the district court had expired. The governor's recent determined stand in the Joseph Smith case, who was executed April 20, indicates that he will not stay the death penalty imposed by order of Busse is confined at the Anamosa pentenary, where his execution will take place. Sheriff Henry Parrott of Bremer county will have to officiate as the hangman, the conviction of Busse having taken place in his county. The decision of the supreme court on the last appeal is per curiam, which means all the judges concur in denying the writ. Busse was convicted of one of the most atrocious crimes ever committed in the state. The evidence shows that Busse coolly and deliberately set about to murder his wife at the farm home June 18, 1901, by first sending her to a boy's room, a boy and a girl, away from home for the day in company with a farm hand. Left alone with his wife, with whom he had quarreled over money affairs, Busse beat her into insensibility with a chair, crushing her skull. Then to make sure of her death he cut his wife's throat with a butcher knife, and in a neighbor's crime would he discover, Busse dragged the woman's almost lifeless body into the kitchen, heaped bed clothing about it saturated with kerosene and then set fire to the funeral pyre. He then rushed from the house, leaving a step-child in the burning building A. brother of the woman, in a neighbor's field, heard his cry of fire and arrived in time to save the step-child and the house from the flames. Mrs. Busse's body was found in the kitchen partly burned. To add to the horror, the flames had burst the woman's abdomen, revealing an unborn bite almost burned to a crisp.

Supreme Court Rules Against Him on Appeal In Murder Trial. Des Molines.—That Charles Thomas, convicted of the notorious Mabel Schofield murder, must serve his life sentence in the penitentiary is the ruling of the Iowa supreme court, which has handed down its decision affirming the ruling, of the lower court. Each of the numerous points raised by the defense was overruled, the defense up its finding in the following words: "Our full duty is discharged and justice is administered in accordance with our system of law, which grants to a defendant the right of jury trial and the right to have every doubt resolved in its favor, when we affirm the judgment of conviction based on the verdict of a fair after finding that the defendant had a fair trial in jury, that the verdict of the jury has support in the evidence, and that no error of law to his prejudice has been committed during the trial. "We are fully satisfied that defendant has had a fair trial, that there is ample evidence to support the verdict and that no prejudicial error was committed by the court and conviction decreed by the court. The case was one of the most sensational ever tried in Des Moines, and was the outgrowth of the indictment in December of 1904 of Charles Thomas for the murder of Mabel Schofield, whose body was found in the Des Moines river on Oct. 22, 1899. For years the case had remained an unresolved question, and the moment of Thomas, a bitterly fought trial, a conviction, and a sentence to a life term in the penitentiary. Charces of misconduct of counsel for plaintiff misconduct of jurors and the complaint that the court did not instruct the jury with reference to alleged demonstrations, such as hissing and other indications of disapproval of objections and arguments made by defendant's counsel figured largely in the grounds advanced why a reversal should be granted, but all met with the same fate at the hands of the higher court. Hange Himself in Savery Hotel at Dea Molina. Dea Moline—Charles D. McMullen, a young lawyer of Casey, Iowa, and former Drake student, committed suicide by hanging himself in his room at the Savery house.

BIG LINERS IN COLLISION Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse and the Orinoco—Several smaller Vessels Are Sunk or Wrecked at many Places—List of Disasters. Cherbourg, Nov. 23—Two big iners, the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse and the Orinoco, collided in the English channel last night at 9 o'clock. As a result thirteen steerage passengers and sailors were killed and nine 'en hurt, each vessel was seriously damaged and the two steamers have returned to port for repairs. The Kaiser Wilhelm Der Grosse belongs to the North German Lloyd Steamship company, it carried 258 first class passengers, 369 in the second cabin and 697 in the steerage, left South Hampton and Cherbourg yesterday for New York. The Ornitho, which belongs to the company, had cleared from South Hampton for West Indies and New York. The passengers of the German vessel and leave for New York, seat 315. The Orinoco's passengers will be sent forward from South Hampton on Nov. 28. The shock of the collision was terrific and there was at once pain on the face of the man. The passengers were quickly restored, but not before a small boat, lowered from the Orinoco had been swamped by the efforts of the fear of the stricken passengers to crowd into it. Those who lost their lives were either being crushed by the grinder or being drowned and drowned. The persons who have suffered injuries have been transferred to hospitals. Then as the accident occurred a number of small boats from Cherbourg put out to the scene and succeeded in rescuing the boats and passengers who were struggling in the waves. The damage to the Orinoco was confined to its bows. The damage to the Kaiserholm Der Grosse is not known. When the collision occurred the Kalser Wilhelm der Grosse was steaming at the rate of 17 knots an hour from herchburg after having touched here on its voyage out. The Orinoco was bound for this port when the accident happened. The coastguard could be called when he was going to starboard of the North German Lloyd vessel, but that the latter held its course across the Orinoco's boks and only went to port of the Orinoco when it was too late. The engines of the Orinoco, it is added, were reversed as soon as it appeared the vessel was moving. It was crashed into the scarborough bow of the Kalser Wilhelm der Grosse, making a breach twelve feet wide. The stem of the Orinoco above the water line was carried away as the vessel cleared after the collision. The shock threw all the passengers on the Kalser Wilhelm der Grosse of their feet and the engines, grinding the vessel down. The collision of the German vessel, instantly killed four persons, disembowelling a girl 11 years old. TWENTY-SIX DROWN. Many Vessels Wrecked and Crew Drowned by Lake Storm. Buffalo, N.

Passengers in Wild Panic Jump Overboard as the Vessel Goes Down and Only Thirty-Seven Are Saved. Seattle, Wash.—Forty-two lives were lost in Sunday night's disaster in Seattle harbor, off Downtown head, when the little steamer Dix was run down by the Alaskaan jet Jeanie. Thirty-seven of the 75 passengers on the Dix were rescued. Of the five female passengers on the Dix the only one to escape was Alice Simpson, a 16-year-old girl. She is believed to be the only person who escaped from the main deck of the steamer, where more than half of the Dix's passengers were shut in when the fatal crash came. She could not but her clothing kept her afloat until she was pulled aboard one of the two Helibas lowered by the steamship Jeanne. It is believed that the 37 passengers who were rescued included every person who was on the open deck of the Dix when the tail craft plunged stern foremost into 100 fathoms of water. It is doubtful whether she can be raised. The collision occurred while the sound was almost as smooth as a millpond and after the boats had been steaming within sight of each other for a quarter of an hour. The Jeanie was backing when she collided with the Dix and the impact was slight. The Dix was struck abaft of amidships on the starboard side. She listened heavily to port, righted herself and sank stern first. There was hard time to launch life rafts or boats before she was submerged. Passengers jumped from the decks into the water, women screamed and officers men called orders that could hardly be above the din. Passengers who could swim made their way to the sides of the Jeanie and were dragged aboard. The Jeanie was not moved until after all who had reached her had been hauled aboard. Then she cruised about, picking up several who had been able to stay above water. EIGHT DIE IN SOUTHERN STORMS Memphis, Tenn. — With the exception of the loss of eight lives as a result of the storm Saturday night and Sunday, which swept the greater portion of west Tennessee, north and central Mississippi, north Alabama and eastern Arkansas, there has been no further loss of life. Telegraphic communication is gradually being restored, but railroad traffic is greatly impaired, and in many instances demoralized. The rain continues to fall, but the volume is greatly diminished. Reports from the western section of Tennessee show that the railroads have suffered greater damage than ever before. As Nassau Valley Chattanooga & St. Louis, the Mobile Central and Southern and the Illinois Central are unable to operate trains at all through Jackson, Tenn. Tracks are washed out for long stretches, bridges are down and in some places the water is standing over the wrecks for miles, making it an utter impossibility to operate trains. Farmers have suffered great loss both in crops and live stock. The damage done by the wind and rain has been the number of the hundreds of thousands of dollars. URGES COMMERCIAL UNION.

From Dreadful Palm from Wound on Foot—System All Run Down— Miraculous Cure by Cuticure "Words cannot speak highly enough for the Culticura Remedies. I am now seventy-two years of age. My system had been all run down. My blood was so bad that blood poisoning had set in. I had several doctors attending me, so finally I went to the hospital where I was laid up for two months. My foot and ankle were almost beyond recognition. Dark blood flowed out of wounds in many places and I thought I was dishearded that I thought surely I was leaving me. As the foot did not impress you can readily imagine how I felt. I was simply disgusted and tired of life. I stood this pain, which was dreadful, for six months, and during this time I was not able to wear a shoe and not able to work. Some one spoke to me about Culticura. The consequences were I bought a set of the Culticura Remedies of one of my friends who was a druggist, and the praise that I gave after the second application is beyond description; it seemed a miracle for the Culticura Remedies took me a druggist, washed the foot with the Culticura Soap, washed the Ointment and I took the Resolvent at the same time. After two weeks' treatment my foot was healed completely. People who had seen my foot during my illness and who have seen it since the cure, can hardly believe their own eyes.

COFFEE IMPORTERS Publish a Book About Coffee. There has been much discussion as to Coffee and Postum lately, so much in fact that some of the coffee importers and roasters have taken to type to promote the sale of their wares and check if possible the rapid growth of the use of Postum Food Coffee. In the coffee importers' book a chapter is headed "Coffee as a Medicine" and advocates its use as such. Here is an admission of the truth, most important to all interested. Every physician knows, and every thoughtful person should know, that habitual use of any "medicine" of the drug-stimulant type of coffee or whisky quickly causes irritation of the tissues and organs stimulated and finally sets up disease in the great majority of people. If persisted in any one of the many organs of the body and in the great majority of cases can be directly traced to coffee in a most unmistakable way by leaving off the active irritant—coffee—and using Postum Food Coffee for a matter of ten days. If the result is relief from nervous trouble, dyspepsia, bowel complaint, heart attack, or pain, you can be up by a poisoned nervous system, you have your answer with the accuracy of a demonstration in mathematics.
