IOWA DISGRACED Last Wednesday night under the cover of dark with masks faces the leaders of a mob of citizens of Charles City county seat of Floyd county went to jail broke open the door, overpowered the sheriff, took there from James Cullen who had just murdered his wife and 16 year old son and hung him to the bridge; public sentiment and feeling was so incensed against the murderer that not a work of protest against the lynching of this white man without trial. While the crime that Cullen committed was atrocious and heinous, yet his hangers committed a more heinous crime, certainly the strong arm of the law ought to punish rather then the worthless passions of midnight lynchers.

It was the largest and most refined gatherings of both races ever witness in our city. Mr. Editor: Kindly allow me a space in your paper to answer the following questions asked me. First, Why are you not with the ministers of the city who are actively engaged in politics? Ans. "Wist ye not that I must be about my father's business?" Second, What do you think of the minister who advises his people to shoot men? Ans. "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity; he that killeth with the sword must he killed with the sword." Third. As a minister of the gospel how would you treat a member of your race who gambles drinks and violates the law of God and man? Ans. "Let love be without pretention, abhor that which is evil cleave to that which is good." The studious, prayerful earnest minister of the gospel will let Jesus Christ be his guide, and love not the things of the world" Rev. H. W. Porter, Pastor of Union Congregational church Pastor of Union Congregational church I can sell you a new piano for $130, but it will be a $130 piano and not a $250 one. Remember, you can't get something for nothing, and the wise man has long ago quit trying to buy gold dollars for 99c. Better buy a "Lehman Guar- anteed Piano." W. H.

Woman Objects to Her Husband Remaining in the Ministry Because the Salaries Paid to Colored Pastors Are So Small. Sloux City, Iowa—(Special.)—Dependent because of the precarious living afforded to her and her husband, C. Reid, the pastor of M. Zion Baptist church, Mrs. Reid was overcome by nervous prostration Tuesday at 203 West west street where they make their home with Charles Gross. Some of the occupants of the house thought they smelled gas and believed that Mrs. Reid was attempting to end her life. Her husband, who was the first to enter the room, declares he smelled no gas and that the Mrs. Reid was called out. Mrs. Reid's condition to nervous prostration. Dr. Reid made the following statement of the affair: "Mrs. Reid came to Sloux City much fatigued, due to overwork in getting our goods ready for shipment. Beshes, she has always been averse to my remaining in the milistry because of the hardships one must suffer and the meager salary received there. She has always preyed upon her mind and nursed her to such an extent that she said she could stand it no longer. She walked upstairs to our room, but I paid but little heed to her, having seen her in a similarly despotive condition. Mrs. Gross was then playing on the plano. Mrs. Reid returned to the kitchen for a pitcher of water and she told him who she said that his mother told him she could not live much longer under the present strain. She returned and evidently must have immediately penned these words: "My life is so unhappy, with a dash following." "After Mrs. Gross finished playing 'Nearer, My God, To Thee,' I went upstairs and found my wife prostrate on the bed. I did not want any gas. My wife and I lit a fire in the room. Other occupants of the house said that they smelled gas, so we brought her to the fresh air and she partially revived. As I had seen her in a similar condition whenever she was overworked I did not become alarmed. To be sure that gas was not the cause of her condition I called Dr. Guillaume, who relieved my fears by announcing the collapse nervous prosthesis. As soon as Mrs. Reid is able to travel her husband expects to send her to her old home in Missouri for a rest and change. MINNEAPOLIS BUDGETARIAN. How have you started in with the new year?

The calendar year is closing with every indication that the remarkable volume of exports will remain at the flood. A bulletin from the bureau of statistics at Washington is testimony to this effect. The bulletin deals with the exports of domestic breads, meat and dairy products, food animals, cotton and mineral oils for November and for the 11 months of the present year ended with November. The total of these exports for November is $105,311,000 against $99,314,000 in 1905, and for the 11 months $788,367,000 compared with $703,569,000 last year. The December returns are not likely to show any relative decrease, and the entire year is fairly certain to show a large advance over last. Several features of the bulletin showing command special interest. Though there is something of a falling off in this class of exports for the month, our shipments abroad of meat and dairy products and of food cattle were $208,978,000 in 1906, or more than $20,000 in excess of those of the same 11 months of 1905. In legislation by congress and the steps taken by the administration in accordance therewith, at safeguarding the purity of the output, have increased foreign confidence. The figures are of value as proving that while we sell abroad less barley, oats and corn, we are disposing in large quantity of what may be called the finished products from such raw material. The Americans are feeding more of the grain to live stock and selling more cattle and meat to the old world. This is really an economic advantage, as finding a market for the higher valued product always is. The bulletin accentuates the predominance of the country as a source of food supply, while the complete returns are pretty certain to prove that it has been a big year for exports of manufactures also. Poland's Pitlable Condition. The situation of Poland to day is pitable. Business in Warsaw has fallen off 50 per cent. and more; the fashionable boulevards are partly deported; the restaurants are but half filled, and the leading hotel is running at a loss. The city swarms with troops, but martial law brings only oppression, not security. Hardly a day passes but officials are killed or wounded by the terrorists, while suspected persons are arrested, clubbed or shot to death by the authorities. The terrorists are strong enough to defy the government, while the government is strong enough to crush a general revolt, and the result is anarchy. When it will end no one can talk. But some day, says G. H. Blakelee in the Outlook, peace will surely come, for Poland is to have autonomy. The Poles demand it. The great majority of the Russian Duma has promised it, and Russian liberalism must eventually win. Romance of Motor Travel The motor car has rescued the romance of travel, freeing it from the irritating compulsions and contacts of the railway, the bondage to fixed hours and the beaten track and approach to each town through the area of ugliness and desolation created by the railway itself. With the motor, says Edith Wharton, in Atlantic, we have regained the wonder, the adventure and the novelty which enlivened the way of our posting grandparents; above all, the delight of taking a town unwares, stealing on it by back ways and unchronicked paths, surprising in it some intimate aspect of past time, some silhouette hidden for half a century or more by the ugly mask of railway embankments and the glass and iron bulk of a huge station. Then the villages that one missed and yearned for from the windows of the train—the villages have been given back to us. Mexico winds up its year with a remarkably satisfactory financial showing. She reports exports of $271,000,000, an increase of nearly $30,000,000 over the preceding year, and imports of $220,651,000, a gain of over $12,000,000. But what is still better is the advance along all the lines of domestic development. Mexico is literally living in peace and plenty, with the most efficient of governments under the wise directing hand of President Diaz. The day of upheavals and factional disorders, resulting in general demoralization, seems to be past forever. Mexico has learned the secret of wise self-government. London newspapers are paying splendid compliments to the kind of ambassadors America has sent to the mother country when they demand that the government send to Washington a man like James Russell Lowell, Joseph H. Chase or Whitehall Reld to represent British interests. They seem to think the need of the time is an ambassador from the British to the American nation rather than an envoy of the British government to do business with the American state department. Stamford, Conn., ministers have entered into an agreement to refuse in future "to marry persons both of whom are strangers." Out here it has always been the custom among greachers and others possessing the right to perform the marriage ceremony to insist that the "contracting parties" must at least have been introduced to each other before the beginning of the sacred rites. IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth. Receives Notice That Pension is Granted From Carnegie Fund. Des Moines...Judge C. C. Cole, for many years dean of the Drake university law school, has received notice that he has been designated to receive a $1,000,000 fund to receive pensions from the $10,000, 000 fund provided through the generality of Andrew Carnegie. Judge Cole has been granted an allowance of $1,280 per year, payable monthly. He has been granted that this allowance planned that this allowance is generally not granted to teachers in pro- THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN Judge C. C. Cole, fessional schools, but Judge Cole with one other, had been made an honorary exception. Judge Cole will accept the terms of the allowance of the allowance and will retrete immediately. Judge Cole will accept the school to which he has devoted so many years of his life. Judge Cole will receive the title of dean emeritus. Judge Cole was a graduate of Harvard law school in the class of 1848. In 1864 he began the work of teaching law, in which he has been almost continuously ever since. The judge was the first person to preside the state in 1848, and was later elected for a full term of six years. He became chief justice in 1870. He is now $2 years old. GRAND JURY INVESTIGATES Judge Kelly Says Members of Mob Are Murders Charles City—if the members of the mob that wrecked the Charleston City jail and lynched James Cullen, are ever punished it will only be after one of the most difficult investigations ever undertaken and long, hard tough trials. Judge C. H. Kelley on Taurus' jury was ordered the grand jury to investigate the grand jury less than twenty minutes later the first witness, Ensign Roger of the Salvation Army, was examined. Tuesday morning it was generally thought that the matter would be dropped and several members of the mob are alleged to have tossed off the firearms apparently thinking it heroe. Later when the grand jury investigation was rumored they denied knowing anything about the affair. No one was heard heard reports of what happened. No one is sorry for Cullen. "He did not get half what he deserved," was the unanimous verdict of every citizen but the better class also express regret for the blot on the fair name of Judge Kelly, in his special instructions to the grand jury, which is investigating the lynching, termed the active members of the mob "murderers," and declared that the affair was a crime on a scale above Charles City." He said that James Cullen was legally entitled to full protection of the law from the mob. He continued: "The crime of which James Cullen was accused and which was doubtless committed by him, was committed with the deliberate net of an organized mob. You now have nothing to do with the guilt or innocence of James Cullen. His case is in the hands of his God. But he was marred by the guilt of the mob, who actively participated in the case, or who aided and abetted it, is equally guilty of murder and upon you rests the duty of taking the first steps towards bringing his murderers to justice. I enjoin you on your perseverance in accordance without fear or favor, in accordance with your oath." STEELE WAS A BIGAMIST Man Who Threw Bomb at Philadelphia had Two Wives Chicago--Rolla Steele, the bomb threater, formerly of Garner, Iowa, has for more than fourteen years lived as a gigist. Steele has a wife here and one in Lynchburg, Va. It was found that for ten years Steele had lived with Mrs. Bessie Steele in Lynchburg, Va., and that they have one child. In this city lives Mrs. Irene Steele, the mother of three children. She married Steele fourteen years ago. Some years, however, he has failed to marry her, all his earnings going to the wife in Virginia. Mrs. Steele No. 2 asserts that Steele told her he was divorced from Mrs. Steele No. 1. GIVES ANOTHER $50,000. Gift of Andrew Carnegie to Iowa College. Grinnell—Iowa college and the town of Grinnell have been cheered and encouraged in their campaign for increased endowment for the college by the word received here that Andrew Carnegie has given the college another $50,000. Nothing is known about the conditions of the gift as the only initiation of it was the receipt of a telegram from Dr. Albert Shaw of New York to the Review of Reviews, and a grant of Iowa college in the class of 1879, supporting President Main on the fact that Mr. Carnegie has given some more money to the college. Entire Panel Knocked Out By Polk County, Judge Deb Moles—In the most sweeping, far reaching decision handed down in the local district courts in years, Judge Hugh Brennan on the 10th hold that both the grand and petit jury lists in Polk County for the year of 1907 were irregularly, and the court drew and therefore and well, and Judge Brennan has the concurrence of Judge McHenry, who sat with him on the bench and heard the evidence. Judge Howe and Judge Miller, who were called into consultation, also concurred with Judge Brennan in further proof that a puten an end to district procedure, except divorce and equity cases until the legislature shall pass some act which shall assist the county out of a most remarkable plight. Should the legislature fail to pass the expected stature of county court, the county court will deliver. However, the discovery that no provision has been made for the drawing of jurors any place in Iowa next year makes it imperative that a measure of some kind be passed and there is every reason to believe that the court or the county court the delay in the Polk county courts of justice. Not the least startling feature of the opinion is the possibility of wholesale prosecutions of election officials who are roundly criticized for making it a misdemeanor for any man either directly or indirectly to request that he be placed on a jury list. The recommendation by an election official of him making a prosecution of this statute in the opinion returned by the courts. The Civic League may take up this phase of the subject. There is doubt whether an election clerk works within the jurisdiction of the status that the judges are named specifically. In the opinion Judge Brennan frankly states that the recommendation of election officials of themselves for jury service is the principal ground necessitating the disqualification of the jurors, claars that the investigation shows 35 laddible names on the grand jury panel which was approved by the supervisors. It also shows 20 per cent of the petit jury to be ineligible. If these were cast aside the jury would be returned to a grand detention returned by a grand jury representing only a trifle less than one-half the statutory number would stand before the law. Clerk B. F. Coffin and Auditor Lew Brennan are exonerated from any criminal negligence but are censured by business and failure to read the statutes regarding the drawing of jurics. FILE RATE OBJECTION Stockman Ask Relief From Railroad Charges Des Moines.—The live stock men have for the first time in the history of the state appealed to the railroad commission for relief from the local freight charges; also have the live stock interests of Iowa prepared to appeal to the interstate commerce commission for consideration with respect to interstate rates. The state has requested, while secured from the last legislature a law discriminating in prices of oil in the state has filed a petition asking for a reduction of Iowa rates on cattle, hogs and sheep for the Corn Belt Meat Producers' association and wished in a short time this petition will be considered by the state railroad commission. Mr. Thorne will also go begging to state commerce commission to ask a like reduction in state rates. The petition, which is of considerable length, claims that rates on live stock should be given consideration on the grounds that the average revenue per ton per mile for the past year was 30 per coat heater than in the past year. Six states classified by the interstate law require omission. It agrees that there was a reduction on hogs a number of years ago but that there has been no reduction on cattle, sheep, horses or mules since the Iowa commission established railroad rates seventeen years ago. The experience of neighbor boring states is used by value of compromises. In closing it says: "For the good of the farmer, for the good of all the citizens of our state, whose prosperity and success rises and falls with the farming interests, we ask of you to give us lower maximum rates on live stock, and we especially petition you to lower the rates on cattle, covering the state by raising the state and applying to all railroad handling shipments beginning and ending within the bounds of the state."

LED WIFE AND STEP-SON Charles City.—James Cullen, murderer of wife and stepson, was handed to the Cedar river bridge at 11:30 Wednesday by fellow citizens. Tom from his cell by a mob of resolute citizens, the guilty man fought for his life, but his strength crumpled in the hands of his slayers and he was dragged by the ecrew-growing crowd down the main street of the town to the bridge. A rope was adjusted about his neck, one end of which was attached to James Cullen was pulled aloft, willebusiness men, women, and children stood by and did not laterfer. At by in his cell in the Floyd county jail, deprived of the assistance of Sheriff Schermerhorn, whose feeble resistance was bruised by the crowd, he was brought into the building. Cullen was helpless. Yet he fought-fought hopelessly and with the assurance that his best efforts were but pitiful, futile struggles—while the single purposemob plucked at his clothing, his flesh, striking, wrenching, kicking but always, bent and cawed and onward to bridge and the girder and rope that awaited him. Tuesday, James Cullen killed his wife and his 15-year-old stepson. Wednesday he answered to the law that is not found in codes or statutes, but which is relentless and as sure as justice. The citizens of the town watched the ending of Cullen's life. Prominent business men—men whose wives and families waited at home with straining ears and burning eyes—were parts of the mob. No disgrace was attempted. It was justice dealt out, almost as a community and with the approval of all that was best in the town. At 9 o'clock last night, feeling, which had been running wild during the day, came to a head. A few citizens collected at the doors of the jail. A few more came. Presently a half thousand men had collected and began to take up the cry of ringleaders. It was not a frantic, hysterical mob with its own weapons, but get James Cullen, but an officer armed, cool, collected, relentless. A party of men, especially told off, had cut the main electric light cables and the town was left in absolute darkness. Two members of Bob had come provided with lanterns. With a railroad iron that someone had been thoughtful enough to provide, the door of the jail was attacked. Leading citizens caught up the heavy rail, and charged through the crowd against the barrier. One onslaught was enough. Only Crawford, who protect his owner, and guardless from the sash intervened. He put up a resistance, pleading, imploring, throwing himself hopelessly into the midst of the charging human mass. His efforts were without avail. A dozen arms shot him and hold him from the front. The insult, Others, pushing forward, tore him from his first captors, and he was flung aside and pressed helpless against the wall as the wild moor swept past him to the cell of the prison. The leaders pushed onward to the barrel door of Cullen's cell. He had been placed to and fro, hoping that the Culkin stopped his racing and stood lifeless in the middle of the cell, his face twisted into an agony of appeal. His executioners did not laugh at hysterical pidadags. They merely did not testear out the bars. Cullen began of testingear out the shriek for mercy that did not exist in that mob. He was answered by the princing of the steel rail against the bar bars. Finally the last bar dropped to the fecer and the mob was up man strong in desperation, the crazed himself upon the citizens. Serring, bitting, clutching at throats, and crying like a wounded animal, he fought on. Down the corridors of the fail, all strugging, he was dragged, the men stopped, he was facing the way. Half fainting, almost all was pulled up the main street, and men and women ran along the out- sirts and pressed in upon the center of the crowd. He will be no Louis Busse justice, in this case, in the crowd, and the slogan was taken up and passed down the street. When the center of the bridge was reached, the prisoner was jerked to his feet, but he had become so weak that the ringleaders adrenaline-scrouched stand. The center and one man produced a rope. Center was supported while the kroot was being adjusted about his throat. The other end of the rope was taken by eager, hands and the murderer was pulled to the bridge. He was asked if he had any desire to say concerning his crime—any excuse to offer, any justification that he could bring forward. "They attacked me and I had to kill him," he cried. "My wife and my boy were killed me if I hadn't killed them." That was all the leaders waited for, and they would have carried out the sentence by throwing him from the bridge then but for the interference of Ensign Roper of the Salvation Army. Roper of the Salvation Army with his offer of prayer. Cullen and his officers. The next instant he was dangling at the end of the rope. Cullen's executioners declare that the estate of $50,000 which he had accumulated as a contractor would have had to fight his case in the courts and would have been years before he would be been punished, if ever, W. W. Schoenhorn, the sheriff, has just gone into office as successor to Gifford Fleet. Men who participated in the mobbing stated that they did not fear prosecution. They said that they stalked mob violence, but that they considered that if execution was ever justifiable, it was in the case of Cul NATIVES OF PERSIA QUIETL RECEIVE NEWS OF DEMISE. Teheran, Persia. — Official anouncement of the death of the shah at 11 o'clock Tuesday night, was made at nine o'clock Wednesday morning from the office of the grand vizier.

St. Petersburg—Lieut. Gen. Vladimir Pavloff, the military procurator or advocate general, generally known since the days of the late parliament as "Hangman Pavloff," from the ephepit constantly applied to him by the radical deputies, was shot and killed at ten o'clock Wednesday morning while walking in the garden of the chief military court building, near the Molika canal. The assassin, who was disgusted as a militant, was captured after a long chase through the crowded city streets, during which he fired about 40 shots from two revolvers which he carried, killing a policeman and wounding a small boy. Vice Admiral Doubassoff, ex-governor general of Moscow and at present a member of the council of empire, has received notification that another attempt upon his life will be made. EXPLODES BOMB IN A BANK. Desperate Deed of Man Refused Loan in Philadelphia.

Others refer to Peruna as a great catarrh remedy, which of these people are right? Is it more proper to call Peruna a catarrh remedy than to call it a tonic? Our reply is, that Peruna is both a tonic and a catarrh remedy. Indeed, there can be no effecting catarrh remedy that is not also a tonic. be no effect.

No external remedy ever yet devised has so fully and unquestionably met these three prime conditions as successfully as Allcock's Plasters. They are safe because they contain no deleterious drugs and are manufactured upon scientific principles of chemistry. They are safe because nothing goes into them except ingredients which are exactly adapted to the purposes for which a plaster is required. They are speedy in their action because their medicinal qualities go right to their work of relieving pain and restoring the natural and healthy performance of the functions if muscles, nerves and skin. They are also the original and genuine porous plasters and like most meritorious articles have been extensively imitated, therefore always make sure and get the genuine. MANY SOURCES OF SALT. That from Natural Springs is Generally Most Nearly Pure. The purity of salt depends upon the source from which it is obtained and the sanitary conditions under which it is prepared for the market. The supply of common salt, the most indispensable of all the seasoning substances both as a relishing condiment and a well-nigh universal food preservative, is exhaustless, yet even so the salt and salt, says the Pictorial Review. Formerly salt was obtained by evaporating ocean water, a process that left many impurities in the residuum, to say nothing of its exposure to all kinds of dirt in its shipment from seaports. The Turk's island or rock salt, which is still largely used in pork packing and in the manufacture of ice creams, comes to the United States in holds of vessels continually submerged in the ocean. Upon its arrival it is again handled, packed in coarse burlap bags, permitting dust to sift into the salt. In this condition it reaches the consumer. Latterly, however, the product of salt springs has largely taken the lead in this country not only for table salt but for meat packing. The annual production from this source in the United States reaches more than 40,000,000 bushels, the state of New York in the vicinity of Syracuse furnishing a large proportion of this important supply. NEVER TIRES Of the Food That Restored Her to Health. "My food was killing me and I didn't know the cause," writes a Colo, young lady. "For two years I was thin and sickly, suffering from indigestion and inflammatory rheumatism. "I had tried different kinds of diet, plain living, and many of the remedies recommended, but got no better. "Finally, about five weeks ago, mom gave me try Grape-Nuts, and I began at once, eating it with a little cream or milk. A change for the better been at once. "To-day I am all and am gaining weight and strength all the time. I've gained 10 lbs. in the last five weeks and do not suffer any more from indigestion and the rheumatism is all gone. "I know it is to Grape-Nuts alone that I owe my restored health. I still eat food twice a day and never tire of it." Battle Creek, Mich. The flavor of Grape-Nuts is peculiar to itself. It is neutral, not too sweet and has an agreeable, healthful quality that never grows treasome. One of the sources of rheumatism is from overloading the system with acid material, the result of imperfect digestion and assimilation. The result of improper food is abandoned and Gram-Nutrite is taken regularly, digestion is made strong, the gans do their work of buildup up good red blood cells and of carrying away the excess of disease-making material from the system. The result is a certain and steady reaction of normal health and mental activity. "The Road to Well-ill" in pics. Woman's Important Position.

Whine from Henry James. Henry James, pursuing his theme "The Speech of American Women, speaks of a group of Boston young women, 'all articulating as from so mouths, all mumbling and whining and vocally limping and shuffling as were together.' He compares, also to its great disadvantage, a school when parents pay so much not to have their boys taught to speak as gentlemen with one "beyond the sea, in which the proviso that the schoolmate shall speak as a gentleman is so ablately vital." AN IMPORTANT CASE Patient Cured of Ataxia Given the Entire Credit to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. Mrs. S. C. Wellock, of 114 Cleveland Avenue, Everett, Mass., the wife an employee in the government work at Chelsea, says: "I had been troubled with nervous ness for ten years and the disease kept growing on me. Then I learned that I was suffering from locomotomy and I was going to my right leg which would get right and when this happened in the street I and to stand still until it passed away to keep from falling. My right arm felt as if a thousand needles were prickling it. The sheet touching my knee in bed would nearly cause me to cream out with pain and both knees were so weak I could hardly stand. "I had to use a cane and be helped about by my son. Then the pain began to settle in the calves of my legs and the muscles became numb and quivered constantly. The cords under my knees seemed to be drawn up and the muscles in my legs would nearly drive me in sane. My toes became numb and a times would prickle as if needles were being thrust into them. My eyes became dull and black spots floated before them. My heart was very weak. "My attention was called to Dr. William Pink Pills and I bought several relief. I was so pleased that I kept on taking them until they cured me entirely, and I have had no symptoms of the trouble for over a year." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are sold by all druggists or sent, postpaid, on receipt price. 50 cents per box, six cents per pill. The company is Icine Company, Schenectady, N. X. A booklet, entitled "Nervous Disorders," sent free on request. Nails and Apples. When our grandmothers were sick when they were tired out, unable to work or sleep, when their cheeks became hollow, their rosy complexion began to fade and their eyes to lose their luster, they were told that they required "more iron in their blood." Instead of swallowing bottles of medicine containing strong acids (to hold the iron in solution), they would simply stick half a dozen or more iron nails into an apple, leave them in over night, remove the nails and next morning, before breakfast, EAT THE APPLE. This method was as a rule so successful, that physicians in Germany are now recommending a preparation made from apple pulp and iron, as an excellent tonic. This only shows, that the nearer we approach nature the more apt are we to find remedies for the sick. Mr. Zaegel, chemist as a chemist at Sheboygan,consin, for the past 23 years, has given us of using nature's remedies much attention and if any of our readers will write him, he will be pleased to send the names of nine roots and herbs which, when mixed as directed, have been found an excellent remedy for Rheumatism, Constipation, Backache and Catarrch.
