Yesterday we bowed our heads and gave thanks to Almighty God for the manifold blessings which we have received, but we could not give thanks to the head of this nation for peace and happiness, because there has been but little or no peace and happiness when innocent human blood is spilled and no avenge. Can we consciently say that we enjoy this Thanksgiven? Can we cheerfully ask God's blessing upon this country when human beings are killed for nothing? These are serious questions and we should think on the matter. GEN. WEAVER'S HYPOCRISY. Last week General James B. Weaver of Iowa, who was honored by the governor to be invited to accompany the governor and his party on their Southern dedicatory monument trip and to be selected to deliver an address at one of the monuments, wherein he said, "that the Negro is no good to this country and ought to be sent to Africa, their home." We are indeed astonished and words are inadequate for us to express our feeling at this little ostracised rundown politician, who has tried every party and has been invited out. He who wears the bronze button has disgraced it trying to cater to the whims and wishes of the prejudiced white South. He was willing and did sacrifice every principle that he fought for—a coward and a traitor the state and people he represented. The Negro is here to stay. He was among the first to be brought here, and his labor has helped fell the forest, till the fields, tunnel the mountains, suffered the early deprivation of this country, fought in every war, and his blood has drenched every battlefield in all the wars for the American independence. He has made this country bloom and blossom, his blood helped preserve the flag and cement our union. He is the true American and why not stay here. He has no more right to go back then Mr. Weaver has. We for one would be willing to petition Congress to export free of charge Mr. Weaver, and all his kind who hold such foolish ideas, back to their native land. If the white race should judge its process by Mr. Weaver's success in THE NEGRO BATTALION politics well might they fear the success of their race. We know no home and have no place except America, and propose to battle life out in this our land. ENGLISH COLORED COMPOSER IN AMERICA. S. COLRIDGE-TAYLOR.

New York Times: Doubtless the action of the secretary of war, in undertaking to suspend the operation of an executive order, could not out his personal privacy, is unprecedented in American history. So, for that matter, in the order which it assumes to suspend, the secretary of war, the army or navy officer, a soldier or a sailor, often has been exercised. It has rarely been exercised, however, when the case of the secretary of war, a small minority of that battalion could have been charged with was charged with committing, gave a shock to the general sense of justice. It seemed to be forbidden by the implanted order that "no person shall be deceived in the process of law." It was upon this ground that the Times, the morning after the president's edict of dismissal was issued, could not have been consulted about the order which was issued in his name. 1. As a question of law. Was "due process of law" observed in the dismissal of this battalion, and, if not, was there a case of wrongful arrest or servantage? The question whether the original amendments to the constitution, known among lawyers as the bill of rights, were sufficient to stricture upon the federal authority, apply to the army and navy is a question which has been twice brought before the Supreme Court in the likeness of the likeness, so memorable on other grounds, it was not directly in issue. The mininature of the court, however, headed by the chief justice, was that of the "obiter dictum," that none of the original amendments applied or was intended to apply to the military forces in the secession question came up directly. While the case, on other points, was decided adversely to the appellant, the court reaffirmed the facts, and the context of the unanimous opinion sufficient appears to warrant the conclusion that the court would hold such of the amendments to the constitution and army and navy as were not in conflict with the constitutional power granted to congress to provide for the government of the United States. It may therefore safely be concluded that the constitutional safeguard of due process of law was not sufficient to summary dismissal from the military service, does protect against the arbitrary action of the armed soldier, thus became a civilian, the punishment, without trial, of a disqualification for employment in the civil service who issues the order, and even more "forever," or after the term of that president has expired. It seems, therefore, that president has clearly exceeded the constitutional powers. 2. As a question of administration. It is greatly to be regretted that the president did not in this case allow the military procedure to take its usual course. That procedure might perfectly well have been initiated without the convening of a court of inquiry in order judicially to ascertain the facts. Before such a tribunal every member of Inter-State Literary Society St. Joseph, Mo., Nov. 26. At the 16th annual convention of the Inter-State Literary Society to be held in St. Joseph, during the Christmas holidays in addition to the liberal rewards for the best original production in oratory, poetry, music and english composition the executive committee has arranged for an art exhibit and contest. This contest, which will be open to art clubs and sewing circles, will embrace painting, drawing and fancy needle work. The basis of representation is as follows: Each club is entitled to three delegates and a corresponding number of alternates; the number of exhibits to be limited to nine, three to each subject. The prizes nine in number will be in series of three classes as first, second and third. Clubs not members of the Inter-State are required to pay $1.50 to enter the contest, clubs that are members pay an extra 50c. All exhibits are to be registered and numbered before the opening of the contest and the prizes will be awarded by these numbers. The purpose of the Art exhibit and contest as well as those in Oratory, Poetry, Music and Composition is to give inspiration and encouragement to the young men and women to become actual contributors to the mental and material development of the race. Literary societies and art clubs that have not reported are urged to send a list of their delegates, program numbers and fees not later than Dec. 6th to W A. Hill chairman of the executive committee, 1533 Savannah avenue, Saint Joseph Mo., or Mrs. W. L. Grant, corresponding secretary, 1904 N. Fourth street, Kansas City, Kansas. As the citizens of St. Joseph, are very anxious that Christmas shall be home coming and visiting week for former residents, relatives and friends; no means will be spared in securing every possible comfort for their guests. Very low round trip rates may be the accused battalion could have been summoned, and could have shielded himself from testifying only by claiming his constitutional right to might incriminate him. Had no other purpose been served by this order procedure, it would have permitted every innocent suspect to give an account of the crime, and to connect with the disorder under investigation. The president would thus have been saved from the infliction of disgrace upon the many innocent as well as upon the many guilty, in the final action in conformity with the exp parte report of his inspector general, who had at his command none of the means recognized by military any more than by the judicial ascertaintment of truth. obtained by writing, chairman W. A. Hill at the address given above. The Art contest will not be a part of the Inter-State program. WHAT OUR NEIGHBORS THINK OF US. Mr. J. L. Thompson, the talented editor of the Iowa Bystander was in Macon recently. He has a pleasing personality and is appreciative of Negro advancement. Negroes of Macon think well of editor Thompson whom rubs himself successfully with the best. You may expect great things from the youthful editor in the future. H. Reader. It was our pleasure to enjoy a visit from Editor John L. Thompson of the Iowa State Bystander, last Saturday at Huntsville. Editor Thompson was making his annual collecting tour, and increasing the circulation of the报纸 to which he contributed most wide-directed race journals in the country. He talked freely and publicly of the recent election held in his state and declared that Cummins won against the greatest opposition that any man could face in Iowa, and predicts that he will be the next United States senator from Iowa.—The Professional World. HOWARD-STEVENS NUPTIALS (Special to Bystander.) Macon, Mo.—Society was set agog Thursday evening, Nov. 15 by the marriage of Mr. R. L. Howard, the popular grocerman, to Miss Etta M.

The groom is one of the rising young business men, and owns the only colored grocery store in the city, which is a credit to the race. The bride is a graduate from the Western College and is considered one of the best scholars ever sent from the college. She is an amiable young woman.

Czar's Winter Palace. The winter palace is the cast's winter home and officially the palace of the government. The winter palace was built by the empress Anne on the site of a house given to Peter the Great by one of his admirals. Finished after several interruptions in 1768, it was largely destroyed by fire in 1837, and immediately rebuilt. Its furnishings are said to be gorgeous. Dropper Her False Teeth. A passenger on an English railway train pulled the "communication cord" the other day and stopped the train. When the guard came to the compartment in which the cord had been pulled he found a distracted woman passenger. She had been looking out of the window and had dropped her false, teeth. She wished to go back and find them. Horsehoeas In History. Even horseshoes have been made to serve the purpose of extravagance and display. Sabina Poppes, the beautiful and luxury-loving wife of the Roman emperor, Nero, is said to have all the world over, horseshoes are supposed to possess all occult power of attracting luck and warding off evil. Willing to Teach. A farmer was in the city hunting for a boy who wanted a farm. The boy could earn a home with food, clothing and education and a future chance to rent a farm, make money and in time buy it. Some men are buying farms while some men are losing them. Is it due to education?—Earl M. Pratt. London Police Court Decision. "Sleeping in the open air can only be practiced with safety from arrest and in time buy it. Some men show that they have plenty of means and are doing it for experiment—and then only so long as no obstruction is caused," said the magistrate of a London police court the other day.

Brunettes Have Advantage It is claimed that the faculties and senses of brunettes, as well as of dark and full-colored animals, is much more acute than that of londones and white animals, thus enabling them to avoid dangers which their less fortunate orrenth would not notice. Cantilever Bridge in Thibet. In a recent lecture in London was remarked that the Thibetans had not realized the principle of the wheel or arch, they thoroughly understood that of the cantilever and used it in their bridges. Typographical Error. Some typographical errors compel a correction. A Tennessee paper that announced the introduction of a bill to put a tax of $500 on dealers in furniture hastens to explain that it meant dealers in futures. There was a time when the school master's profession was adopted by many college graduates as a pisler, or as a temporary means of livelihood before taking up some other kind of work. The qualities and the special training now required of a teacher have given him a much more independent and even more honorable position than he formerly held. Consequently, there have been an increased esprit de corps, and a greater zeal is the profession. In his address before the Middlesex Teachers' association, President Eliot spoke of the enthusiastic devotion for their calling and preference for it above all others, which are often demanded and which, he might have added, are often found among those who are engaged in the work of education. For efficiency cannot be secured by high salaries and pensions. Like the profession of arms, that of teaching is one that is chosen more often for glory than for gain, but it is important that glory should not have to be sought at the expense of ordinary comfort, says the New York Post. "In Harvard college," said Dr. Eliot, "the salaries are higher than in the teaching profession generally, yet they are lower than can be had by men of the right quality in other professions." The Matinee Girl. "It is a good thing there are enough of the typical 'matinee girls' to fill the theaters on Saturday afternoon," said the man in the box office, "otherwise there would be a good many vacant seats. Gradually the prejudice against the matinee girl crowd is growing. 'Give me a ticket for any performance except Saturday afternoon,' is the request that we hear more and more frequently. The jabbering and the giggling that seem to be an inevitable part of a Saturday afternoon performance mar the pleasure of the earnest theater-goer. The trouble is, said one woman who is a good judge of plays and actors, 'that the Saturday matinee folks laugh, cry and applaud in the wrong places. There is one strong play now on the boards that illustrates this tendency perfectly. From the beginning the "girls" of all ages who are not familiar with the story of the play make bets with each other as to which girl the vacillating hero will marry, and all allusions to the plight of the apparently forsaken sweetheart call forth an explosion of giggles, especially from the top balcony. At no other performance do the vital points in serious plays miss the mark." Wild Beast of India. A statistical paper on India, late- ly published in London, makes the statement that in 1904 the total num- ber of persons killed by wild beasts in India was 24,034, of whom nearly 22,000 fell victims to snakes. Tigers killed nearly 800, and leopards nearly 400. On the other side of the ac- count are 65,000 snakes killed, and 15,000 other wild animals. To many persons it may seem strange that a country so old as India should still harbor so many wild beasts, and that they should be be- mitted to commit such depredations, says the Youth's Companion. It must be remembered that the country is of vast extent, much of it still covered with dense jungle; and that religious scruples prevent many of the inhab- itants from taking the life of any an- imal, hence general measures of exter- mination receive little native support. Two Fisheries Questions. Two important fisheries questions affecting America are under consideration. One is the problem of stopping pelagic sealing, that is, the shooting of the migrating seals at sea, and the indiscriminate destruction of females. If the Canadians agree to stop the practice, it is probable that Japan will come into the agreement, says the Youth's Companion. The other problem concerns the use of purse seals by Americans on the Newfoundland herring grounds, and is being discussed by representatives of the British, American and Newfoundland governments. Great Britain admits the justice of the colonial position that the use of purse seals threatens destruction of the fisheries, but may under pressure of the American interests conclude an agreement over the heads of the colonial commissioners. The American people are very prone to boast about the amount of money they spend on education. Nothing could make a poorer boast. The amount looks big in the aggregate, but it is really trifling when analyzed. And the fact is that we pay our teachers a wage too small to be spoken of without a blush. The Pullman porter does not get all of it. The company has just decided to divide $25,000,000 surplus among the stockholders. Portland, Ore, is said to be the largest lumber port in the world. At one time recently vessels for foreign ports were loading there, or under charter, to an aggregate capacity of 29,000,000 feet, and for home ports others having 5,000,000 feet more.

Judge Wolfe Tells Story of Former Des Moines Man. Clinton—Ex-Judge P. B. Wolfe of this city lights on the mysterious absence of Dr. Charles A. Hofman, the Des Moines "man of mystery" with the statement that he while serving as district judge, sentenced Hoffman to a state's prison term on Oct. 4, 1897, after the latter had confessed to being guilty of the charge of bigamy, preferred by Harriet Schroeder. The officer, whom then went by the name of William Schroeder, came to Clinton from Lubuque in June, 1897, the woman following him from there after she learned he had another wife in Cedar Rapids. He was arrested and held to the grand jury. In jail he feigned insanity so cleverly that he was sent to jailers into the belief that he was really insane, until Dr. Reynolds discovered that he was an adept in the use of drugs and had compounded a substance which gave him the appearance of being insane. Schroeder concealed this and so did the compound that officials at the jail did not detect it. On his arrangement during the September term of court, more than two months after his arrest, Schroeder told Judge Wolfe that he had been kicked by a horse while serving in a cavalry regiment and received injury to his leg. He was later fatally irresponsible. Wolfe learned on investigation that the story was false, through a man who had been in the cavalry service. When confronted with these facts Schroeder broke down and confessed his guilt, acknowledging that he had not been insane. On 4, 1897, Judge Impeace imposed five years of prison on Schroeder who was taken to Anamosa the next day to commence his sentence. Former Chief of Police Ed Burke, who arrested Hoffman on the Megamy charge in 1897, says the man was decoyed to Clinton by his wife, Harriet McDaniels of Dubuque, after the latter had failed to interest the Des Moines authorities in her case. Burke made the arrest at the post office of Hoffman on the same day that had been called through preconcerted arrangement with the woman. Judge Wolfe, in imposing the maximum sentence, said that the case against Hoffman was an aggravated one, and he one was not. The judge did not permit a longer sentence than five years. Officer Lurke says that Hoffman at one time lived in Des Moines with two women, whom he maintained in loues less than five years. Des Moines—Dr. Charles A. Hoffman, who lived in Des Moines for several years, recently disappeared from Kirkville, Mo., where he had been employed as a member of the faculty of the Still College of osteopathy. His disappearance is said to have followed the confession of a Miss Beckman of Moberly, Mo., who was killed earlier and had kept her for three years. Dr. Hoffman left a wife and family in Kirkville in stained circumstances. WIFE SLAYER DIES AT ANAMOSA James Soltes, in Prison for Twenty Years, Dead Anamasa—The most revolting crime and greatest legal battle in the history of Jones county is recalled by the death of James Solis, who died at the Anamasa prison. He was nearly eighty years of age, and had been an inmate of the penitentiary for nearly twenty years. July 1, 1886, the body of Emma J. Solis was found in the pasture of the Solis farm near Olin, in this county, with her skull crushed and her body bruised. Near by was a hammer and a fence rail covered with hair and blood with which the seed had been done. The family had been residents of this section for twenty years, had been married for forty years, and had a family of grown children. It was common talk that their married life was unhappy, and the wife had frequently told the neighbors that her husband had brutally beaten her and had often threatened her life. Suspicion for the crime at once pointed to the husband, and he was indicted, convicted and sent to penitentiary for life in the hardest, most contested in the legal history of this county. Judge Preston, now on the district bench, was the prosecuting attorney, and J. W. Jamison of Cedar Rapids, then an obscure country lawyer, appeared for the defense. Solts up to the last always stuck to his original defense that he had either killed herself and had been murdered. Although his other relatives have visited him during his incarceration, when notified of his death they refused to take charge of the remains. GRINNELL TO GET $100,000.

McWilliams, who brutally murdered his wife and five children near independence early in the year, has been found in basey of the Jones county insane commission. His condition was ordered investigated by the prison officials. McWilliams has been in the insane ward of the prison since April 24. The testimony of the ward deputy, warden of the prison, physician and guard revealed practically the same thing. McWilliams at times became so violent that he was tied to the bed in his cell. Again he was murdered by himself, gesturing with his hands and head in the hallucination that he was driving stock and farming. He does not speak of his terrible crime unless asked, and says his wife was not a Christian, that the future was not bright for his death and that something told him to kill them. McWilliams was sentenced to be hanged by Judge A. S. Blair of Manchester. The date had not been fixed but the advisability of executing him at the same time that Louis Buse, the Bremer county wife murderer, was hanged here in December, was discussed. The commission of inquiry in declaring McWilliams insane is likely to result in at least a temporary stay of execution. Never before in the history of Iowa has such a crime been committed. The victims had evidently all been called at one time into the field where the body of the stalk, not once, but many times, with a hammer until dead. Then the murderer hacked and stabbed at each lifeless body until it was horribly mutilated. The oldest boy no doubt been called in from field, field, field, for his body on a pair of overalls, while the youngest, a baby of 2 years, had been taken from the table, as its tiny, lifeless hand clutched a piece of bread and butter. McWilliams was caught at Independence, where he had taken with his blood-smeared suit of clothes, and where he was taken into custody. SENSATION BY WEAVER.

Weaver of Iowa created a profound sensation at Shiloh Military Park on the 23d by devoting his onation on the dedication of the line Iowa monument there to a notable discussion of the negro problem instead of making it a mere tribute to the heroism and sacrifice of Iowa soldiers.

Is Sentenced to Pay $300 After Explaining His Plural Marriage Relations. Salt Lake City—Joseph F. Smith, president of the Mormon church Friday afternoon appeared in the district court before Judge Ritchie and pleaded guilty to a charge of unlawful cohabitation, and a fine of $300 was imposed. The charge under which the Mormon prophet was arrested and fined was based on the recent birth of President Smith's forty-third child, born to his fifth wife. President Smith addressed the court. He stated that his last marriage was in 1884. All his marriages, he said, were entered into with the sanction of his church, and, as they believed, were颁给 the Lord. According to his faith and the law of the church they were eternal in duration. He concluded: "When I accepted the manifesto issued by President Wilford Woodruff I did not understand that I would be expected to abandon and discard my wives. Knowing the sacred covenants and obligations which I had assumed by reason of these marriages, I have conscientiously tried to discharge the responsibilities attending them, without being offensive to any one. I have never flaunted my family relations before the public, nor have I felt a spirit of defence against the law, but, on the contrary, I have always desired to be a law abiding citizen. In considering the law of the land, I have been placed, I trust that your honor will exercise such lenency in your sentence as law and justice will permit." Judge Ritchie imposed the maximum fine, but omitted the jail sentence of from one day to six months, which he might have imposed under the Utah statute.

PRESIDENT AT WORK ROOSEVELT RESUMES DUTIES AFTER PANAMA TRIP. MESSAGE FOR CONGRESS Special Report on Journey to Be Sent to Lawmakers—Chief Executive Will Also Recommend Citizenship for Porto Ricans. Washington. — After many months of dullness the wheels of government business started Tuesday with dizzy acceleration. Perhaps the ginger noticeable was due to President Roosevelt's return.

Secretors Loeb took to him a large amount of correspondence which had accumulated since the president's departure and was with him up to the time of the cabinet meeting. For Special Message to Panama. Much of the time of the cabinet session was taken up by the president's account of his trip to Panama and Porto Rico. His special message on the Panama canal, it is expected, will be sent to congress probably about a week after it convenes Monday. The document will give a graphic and detailed description of conditions on the isthmus as the president found them. There will be recommendations for the betterment of conditions which suggested themselves during his visit. The wore were present at the meeting for the first time since the beginning of the political campaign. Daughter Ethel Greets Parents.

When she was through with showing her father how glad she was to see him back, Miss Ethel dashed down below to greet her mother. Mr. Roosevelt said he had had an enjoyable time and was deeply impressed with the United States navy, with Panama and Porto Rico. Citizenship Due Porto Ricans. Washington. — The president believes the people of Porto Rico are entitled to American citizenship and will recommend that this be granted to the president and to the greens. The president has expressed the opinion that it is lamentable that they do not now enjoy this right. In this connection he noted that, although Porto Rico had sent a delegate to the Pan-American congress at Rio Janeiro, that delegate could not even say he was an American citizen, and this is also the case if he visits Europe or any other foreign country. The president was very much pleased with his visit to Porto Rico, and he has been prosperous and her government an excellent one. The people, he says, are prosperous. With but two exceptions, the president Tuesday expressed his complete satisfaction with the condition of affairs on the isthmus of Panama as disclosed during his three days' inspection of the work in progress there. One of the exceptions, the president told his callers, related to the sanitary feature of the quarters for bachelor negro laborers, and this, he pointed out, is a primary drawcase a very short time. The president expressed himself as impressed with the magnitude of the undertaking at Panama and of the way in which it is being carried out. HEROINE OF COAST STORM.

"I see here that a woman writer wonders why a man always looks in his hat before he puts it on," said the reflective man as he looked up from his paper. "Here is what she says: 'When a man puts on his hat he most always looks inside it first. What he expects to see remains a mystery, but he for it all the same.' That's easy. He looks in his hat to see that the knot holding the inside band together will be at the back of his head when he puts it on. Now he'll tell me why a woman always puts on her vell and purses up her mouth before she steps out of doors, we'll call it square. "Funny, the things you read in the Sunday papers. I see here that another Chicago professor got up on his hind legs to declare that 'there should be schools of love, and the young should be educated in love.' Slush! schools of love aren't necessary. The young softer sex inherits a knowledge on this subject from their mothers, and what they can't teach the young men it isn't necessary for them to know." WORST CASE OF ECZEMA Bread Rapidity Over Body -Limbs and ankles and hands Mervelous Cut by Cucicura. "My son, who is now twenty-two years of age, when he was four months old began to have eczema on his face, spreading quite rapidly until he was nearly covered. We had all the doctors around us, and some from larger places, but no one helped him much. He was very sick, something terrible, and the doctors said the worst case they ever saw. At times his whole body and face were covered, all but his feet. I had to bandage his limbs and arms; his scalp was just dreadful. A friend teased me to try cutcure, and I began to use all three of the Cutcure in Hesperus. He was four two months; and in six months he was well. Mrs. R. L. Risley, Piermont, N. H. Oct. 24, 1905."

Rheumatism can be induced and that fact proves to be the cause of the blood. If it be proved therefore, to treat it through the blood if a permanent cure is expected. External applications may give temporary relief from pain but as long as the poisonous acid is in the blood the pain will return, perhaps in a new place, but it will surely return. Dr. Williams' Pink Pilia can cause they go directly to the seat of the tortor, purifying and enriching the blood. Mrs. Henry Cota, of West Cheshire, Conn., is the wife of the village machinist. "Several years ago," she says, "I was laid up with rheumatism in my feet, ankles and knees. I was in constant pain and sometimes the affected parts would swell so badly that I could not get abat at all to attend to my household duties. There was one period of three weeks during which I was confined to the bed. My sufferings were awful and the doctor's medicine did not help me. "One day a neighbor told me about Dr. Williams' Pinkie. I decided to try them. She had taken them a few days, and I decided better and a few more bones curled me. What is better, the cure was permanent." Remember Dr. Williams' Pill Pinks do not act on the bowels. They make new blood and restore shattered nerves. They tone up the heart and strengthen it, bring healthful, refreshing sleep, give strength to the weak and make miserable, complaining people strong, hungry and energized. They are sold by all druggists, and by all receipts. They cost $50, or 50 cents per box, $25, by the Dr. Williams Medicine Co. Schenectady N.Y. "THE MARRYING SQUIRE." Justice Geo. E.

"At that time," said Justice Law, "I was suffer- rying Squire," by which he is his far and wide, having already married some 1,400 couples. Ten years ago he was deputy county judge that time" said Judge Law. "I was suffering from an annoy- ing kidney trouble.

That an article may be good as well as cheap, and give entire satisfaction, is proven by the extraordinary sale of Defiance Starch, each package containing one-third more Starch than can be had of any other brand for the same money. GAVE DRUMMER A SCARE Delayed Telegram Suggested Awful Possibilities. "There was a traveling man," said the night operator, "whose wife presented him with a son while he was out drumming up trade. The doctor got the man's address, and, since his wife was doing none too well, wrote out a message giving him the news and telling him to return. "The doctor gave the message to the wife to read. She forgot to send it, and the next day the drummer came home of his own accord. "He stayed a day or two, found his wife doing all right, and set out on his rounds again. Nothing, as it happened, was said about the forgotten telegram. "And at the end of the week the telegram was remembered by the cook. With an exclamation of horror—you know she couldn't read—she hurried to the office and sent to the drummer that delayed message. When that night he was terrified. What he read was this: "Another addition—a son; your wife very ill: return at once." "He took the midnight train for home. He was like a man in a trance. 'Another?' he kept muttering in a dazed voice. 'Impossible!' "On getting home he was so relieved when everything was explained to him that he decided not to fire the cook after all." A DOCTOR'S TRIALS. He Sometimes Gets Sick Like Other People. Even doing good to people is hard work if you have too much of it to do. No one knows this better than the hard-working, conscientious family doctor. He has troubles of his own—often gets caught in the rain or snow, or loses so much sleep he sometimes goes to work. He is overworked Ohio doctor tells his experience. "About three years ago as the result of doing two men's work, attending a large practice and looking after the details of another business, my health broke down completely, and I was little better than a physical wreck. "I suffered from indigestion and constipation, loss of weight and appetite, bloating and pain after meals, loss of memory and lack of nerve force for continued mental application. I became irritable, easily angered and dependent without cause. The heart's action became irregular and weak, with frequent attacks of palpation during the first hour of two after retiring. "Some Grape-Nuts and cut bananas came for my lunch one day and pleased me particularly with the result. I got more satisfaction from it than from anything I had eaten for months, and on further investigation and use, adopted Grape-Nuts for my morning and evening meals, served usually with cream and a sprinkle of salt or sugar. "My improvement was rapid and the weight as well as in physical and mental endurance. In a word, I am filled with the joy of living again, and continue the daily use of Grape-Nuts for breakfast and often for the evening meal.

Merrill, New York City, private secretary to President Spencer, led his head and arms badly burned, but will recover. The collision was between the Jacksonville and the Washington and southwestern vestibulated limited, both south bound. President Spencer and his entire party, as far as is known, were sleeping when the collision occurred, and the probability is that all of them, excepting Dispatcher Davies, was killed. It is certain that life was extinct before the fames touched them. President Spencer's body was burned almost beyond recognition, as was that of Mr. Fisher. The body of Mr. Schuyler was taken from under the train before it was burned very much, having been singed only slightly. President *Spencer* is burned in Jacksonville train, which was standing still when it was struck. President Spencer was lying directly under the big locomotive of the rear train. So great was the force of the impact that the forward train was sent at least 150 feet ahead, the locomotive going over and upon the train, the debris burned itself out and the engine cooled off the bodies could not be removed. WATERS-PIERGE OIL COMPANY INDICTED St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 29.—The federal grand jury yesterday returned two indictments, with a total of seventy-two counts, against the Waters-Pierce Oil company, charging the company with having accepted rebates and diseliminated in legal freight rates on shipments of oil in violation of the interstate commerce law and the Elkins act. The indictments charge the Waters-Pierce Oil company with accepting lower rates on shipments of oil from the Pacific railroad lines from St. Louis to Alexandra, I.A., and to eleven specified points beyond. If convicted on all indictments, the aggregate maximum penalties that may be collected is $1,520,000. It is charged that the Waters-Pierce company is a subsidiary corporation of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey. In a statement prepared by Herbert Knox Smith, deputy commissioner of corporations at Washington, and made public today by United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana the indictments are returned upon facts discovered by James R. Garfield, commissioner of corporations, and published by him in his annual report of May 2, 1906. Commissioner Garfield's report, which subdued President Cleveland, and in return was referred to the department of justice for action. After the indictments were voted and returned into the United States district court before Judge Finkelberg, the grand jury decided on the eastern district of Missouri, adjourned until Dec. 11. KNOWN DEAD NUMBER FORTY Many In Explosion in Germany Unacounted for. Dortmund, Germany, Nov. 30.—The explosion on Wednesday night of the roburit factory near Aunen resulted, so far as is now known, in the deaths of forty persons. Many others were so seriously injured that there is no hope of their living. Many persons have not yet been accounted for: Among the wounded are about 200 employees of the factory and the total of persons damaged to several hundred. The Pioneers today succeeded in removing the roburit from the vaults beneath the factory and there is now no danger of a further explosion. The damage is estimated at $500,000. Uwing to the burring of their drum concession, a number of their hearing. The physicians in attendance regard the condition of thirty-eight of the wounded as hopeless. At the time of the explosion six hundred boxes, each containing eight pounds of roburit were stored in THE WINNING STROKE If more than ordinary skill in playing brings the honors of the game to the winning player, so exceptional merit in a remedy ensures the commendation of the well informed, and as a reasonable amount of outdoor life and recreation is conducive to the health and strength, so does a perfect laxative tend to one's improvement in cases of constipation, billiness, headaches, etc. It is all important, however, in selecting a laxative, to choose one of known quality and excellence, like the ever pleasant Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., a laxative which sweetens and cleanses the system effectually, when a laxative is needed, without any unpleasant after effects, as it acts naturally and gently on the internal organs, simply assisting nature when nature needs assistance, without gripping, irritating or debilitating the internal organs in any way, as it contains nothing of an objectionable or injurious nature.

The first fair ever held by the American Negro has come to a successful end at Macon, Georgia. The Negro's capacities in the industrial life of the south have been the fullest expression and in every way the exhibition has been a credit to the race and to the individuals who had it in The fair was originated and man- aged throughout by Negroes, the exhibitors were all Negroes. A special day was set apart for white people to visit the fair, and they came in large numbers. But aside from this, white folks had absolutely nothing to do with the enterprise. The idea of a colored state fainting originated with R. R. Wright, a Negro educator of Savannah. A meeting of prominent Negroes was called by Wright last spring and plans made for the holding of an industrial position. The race wars of thesummer made the consumption and the men at the mills were repeatedly urged to abandon the scheme for fear of further trouble. On the other hand, however, they were urged to go ahead. White friends of the Negro farmers were insistent that they be allowed an opportunity to prove themselves Gradually the plans took shape and notwithstanding the difficulties that were an even greater success anticipated. Twenty-five of the farming counties of Georgia were represented in the agricultural exhibit. An Albany Negro, who operates forty-six plows on his own 1,600 acre farm, was in charge of the department. The agricultural displays were principally simple selections from the best of the acre crop of the cotton and the corn. Cotton potatoes, pean, cane, oats, hay, tobacco and other common crops were displayed in large quantities. The best individual farm display won an award of $200. A display in agricultural hall was graced with a pile of bald cotton branded in large letters: "The Negro and Cotton—the South's Best Friends." The exhibits in other departments were equally varied and excellent Barrel exhibit cotton water bottling furniture, clothing, dress goods and wine products were represented in the trades' departments. The live stock was considered excellent. A. Macon press dispays says: Fine hogs, cattle and horses comprised all that the Negro cared to show. But of these three kinds the worst price producer for any fair. As the producer the industrious Negro farmer has unquestionably learned something for his own good. The finest breeds of hogs known to raisers in Georgia are in their possession and the exhibits revealed that the Negro farmer has to a large degree mastered the meat-producing problem. Horses and cattle were by no means behind the live stock exhibits at the average state fair. Seven Negro colleges conducted the athletic events. The amusement attractions were planned exclusively for the Negro. The races were confined to Georgia raised horses. The mule had his part and the Negro mule race was one of the chief features. The horse has a curved end and has proved a financial success, not withstanding the obstacles. A stock company of Negroes has been formed and annual colored state fairs are to be held. MINNEAPOLIS BUDGETARIAN. Westfield has been in our midst again, increasing universal sorrow. Tuesday evening, the 20th, at 9:30, the grim monster entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Roberts on Elliott avenue and claimed their oldest son, Leo, who had been a long and patient sufferer of tuberculosis.

Names of Galveston Men Who Urged Act Read From Pulpit Sunday. PASTORS URGE BOYCOTT. CELVESTON, Tex., Nov. 17—Nearly everybody in Galveston has thought for some time that the city passed by the City Council last summer was accepted by the negro population, and that no further trouble would ensue. Such, however, seems not to be the case. The worst phase of the situation is that the city has assumed the opposition to the law has assumed a form that tends to no good. Reputable men in the city say the cooks have stated that the names of all the signers to the petition for the jim crow ordinance are road in negro churches. The members of the congregation are expected not to work for them. Whether that report is true or not, the fact remains that there is at present more trouble in getting negro service in the household than there has been in Galveston for many years. In one of the positions are without help, but the darkies seem to have broadened the issue and made it apply to the white race generally. Some petition signers state that their negro cooks have quit them without the semblance of an excuse or word of explanation. It is so common as to be almost the only time in the summer time and feed the men over the back feace, while in the winter the tables are turned. The men get plenty of work and good wages on the wharves, and then the women quit work and the men support them. Of course there are numerous exceptions to this rule, but there are enough instances of its truth to establish it. Added to the normal situation now is negro resentment of what is a poor substitute for a law separating the races on the street cars, the provision being that white passengers take the vacant seats nearest the front and colored passengers take the vacant seats nearest the rear. The car company the car company has suffered by reason of strikes on the part of the negroes. Here, so far as is noticeable, there has been no material falling off in travel.

Horses In Shrimp Fishing Horses play an important part in shrimp fabbing along the Belgian coast. A procession of weather-beaten fishermen starts from the shore, each man mounted on the back of a trained horse, dragging the triangular purse-shaped net, which scoops in the water. The horses then move on horseback frequently make hauls of several hundred weight in a single trip. Frozen Meat Frozen meat will keep any length of time. It undergoes a change, however, and is of the quality of second rate meat long staying in coldorage. It is thawed by being allowed to stay some hours in a warm atmosphere, never by being put suddenly to the fire. It is useless to attempt the cooking of frozen meat. Thawing must take place first. Useless Advice to Soldiers. The London News calls attention to the fact that when the building that is now Wellington barracks, Dublin, was a fall it had the words, "Cease to do Evil—Learn to do Woll." chiseled over the gateway. When it became a barracks the authorites, perhaps realizing the uselessness of such advice in some cases, had the words removed. By order of a New York court a mother gave her seventeen-year-old girl who had attempted suicide a spanking with a hair brush. The fall from the roof might have been spectacular, but never complete. Tax on Snapchat Photographer. At Pemberton, Naples, Jan Martin and other Italian cities tourists could obtain formerly, with ease, permits to snapshot historic places for a nominal fee, but now the objects intended to be photographed have to be specied in writing, and a tax, varying from ten cents to $1, is imposed for group negative.

With Owl One Tee It is not generally known that the small feet of Chinese ladies have commonly but one toe. This is, however, the fact.
