After passin' through a most strenuous period of the Christmas holidays and their activities, followed by illness which as yet is not entirely overcome, we take our pen in hand once again to acquaint our friends of the recent past and what we are now doing. Mrs. J. H. Sayer was a visitor in Davenport during the holidays. She reports a most enjoyable time. Henry Henderson, who has been holding a position at a hotel in Morrison, Ill., for several weeks past, has returned to Clinton and is now employed at the hotel and Mrs. M. O. Culberson and Mrs. Holland Williams of this city were the guests of the Toussaint L. Overture club in Davenport at their reception last month. Miss May Taylor of Burton visited with her parents over the holidays. Jas. Cooper, after spending the winter duties in Morrison, Ill. Messas, Edward and Fred Alkens, who less than two years ago formed a partnership to maintain a cab line, increased their business last week by purchasing the cab line owned by the Hart Brothers, strong business competitors. The cab business owners by Alkens Bro, who, it is hoped, may continue with success as in the past. From recent advices from Rockford, ill., we learn that all is not peace and harmony in the A. M. E. church, Rev. C. H. Thomas, the pastor, and members having had a very serious disagreement caused by the highhanded methods we use in the church. Strange to say, the very same tactics practiced in Rockford are the identical same as he endeavored to carry out while pastor in this city and which caused his removal. In his recent trouble the meeting in which the trouble arose was thrown into a panic, the pastor was arrested and an assault on members present. For this he was arrested and fined. The congregation held a mass meeting, at which resolutions were drawn up denouncing the pastor. Copies of same have been sent to him, the presiding elder and the bishop. They demand also his removal. They have with other resolutions been so far as adequate enough to have had Thomas as a sympathizer with Rockford in her distress. Why a wolf in sheep's clothing is allowed to masquerade around in the garb of a pastor is more than the people can figure out. OBITUARY. Gone To Rest.

In order to express the significance of the recent Social Education Congress, which was held in Boston, the broadest possible definitions of "social" and "education" are necessary. Signature educational problems have been far less likely to teachers and experts in pedagogy. This congress was not a teachers' meeting, but a conference of leaders in all departments of life. The variety of the subjects discussed and the many interests represented by the speakers showed that real education touches life at every point, says the Youth's Companion: that, as wise men have always felt education is the development in all possible ways of the individual and of the unit in society. The business man explained what he demanded of the schools that are sending him young clerks and workmen. The man of pub affairs showed what the schools should do for the boy and the girl who are to vote. From the laborer man, through a union leader, came the message of the experienced workman to those in charge of the mature boy who is soon to choose a trade Physicians and specialists in physical care pleaded for the care of the body, for education which should teach respect for the finely organized instrument of thought and labor. From the churches preachers of many denominations spoke the word for spiritual culture in all education of the hands and the brain. Public it briars traced the relation of their institution to the schools. Banker president of public service company manufacturer, tradesman, professor psychologist—all these in some way asserted the great truth that education is not merely the concern of specialists, it is everybody's business, so it is related to every part of every man's life. Once this is realized, our schools will be vitalized as never before. Health of School Children. Enthusiastic automobilists are urging that a national highway be built between New York and Chicago. The proposed road is not intended for the amusement of rich pleasure-seekers, but for the farmers, who are to own traction wagons in the future and carry their crops from the farm to the best market. A party has traveled between the two cities by automobile noting the best route to be followed the location of gravel pits and the grades to be overcome. It has obtained facts enough to make its inquiries worthy of respect. Whether the national highway is ever built as such, says the Youth's Companion, there will be a continuous good road across the state of New York in a year or two, built by the state or by the various towns and cities; and there are excellent stretches of good road in the other states along the line. A popular fact in the life of Charles J. Bonaparte, of Baltimore, who has just been transferred from the naval portfolio to that of the attorney general in the president's cabinet, is that he has never visited Europe. Down in central Illinois a woman fitted on a shopping expedition. She was resigned to go that way, but would have preferred to have lasted to match an improbable piece of cloth with an impossible bit of ribbon. A New York doctor cured a case of lockwax by bleeding the patient. The case, says the Washington Star, has attracted widespread attention, because nowadays the doctors are not supposed to bleed a patient until after he is cured. There is some advantage in being a slave. The shah of Persia told his doctors that if they disagreed they should be put to death. They agreed, and consequently the shah is still living.

Finances The reports of the Auditor and Treasurer disclose fully and minutely all revenues and all expenditures, and I do no more than to submit them for your consent. to special Passenger Fares. In my message delivered to the Thirty-first General Assembly, I had the honor to require railway companies to sell mileage books good for 100 miles and mileage books good for 500 miles and mileage books good until used; and I said in that connection if purchase was made, I should not be used by any member of the family, and I should not present any reason why a disadvantage as compared with the man who will embolden this recommendation issued the House of Representatives, but the family, and the Senate, counsel for the railway companies, must be institutionalized. Because it authorized discrimination, and although I do not concern in the conclusion, I feel lustfully that must be assumed, therefore, that if these troops treat which we now pose to the soldier must come through a general repositionation so to believe that, in the West, no country at least, nonessential traffic at railway stations at the present rates. The representatives of the railway companies assert actual rate paid by passengers. I have not more than two cents in the road, and the roads are not more than two cents, in making this commute free, and as much higher than we are agreed, as we need it, free transportation was not in This condition has been brought about since 1953 by a thorough, through rule enforcement, to restricted classes. When it is found that a person has travel a must deal may not be reeled per mile, and that the travel must be required for one mile or more per mile is necessary to enter the averages on two miles per mile, the exections are not required for one mile or more per mile, and the exections are not required for one mile or more per mile. For a payment that may be required for one mile or more per mile, the passenger service a single penny, it is still manifest that the adjustment is.

It is usually sent in stout kegs and packed as tightly as possible; but there is a regular distribution upon the voyage, and in the years that loses to the commercial world amounts to a large sum. hopelessly wrong. It eeps the railways and garage she has purchased a 2000-mile mileage per mile, as it does to carry a passenger carriage of extensive convenience and mileage; indeed, I think the former costs a little more, for the use of the industry, of extensive bureaucracy for identification, marking and delivery of the company station. The only advantages derived by the railways company are its advantage, and this does not warrant any appreciable reduction in the rate of advance, and this does not warrant any appreciable reduction in the rate of excursions, conventions, meetings of associations, and the like. It is unjustified to assume that the railways family, or the merchant and his family, as they go from place to place, either in connection or to gatherings of men to conventions or to gatherings of men to conventions or to gatherings of men to movements of making our people pay, as they move down the train and to take train after train load of pleasure workers to points of entertainment or to numerous states in the hope of finding friends that What I have said has been upon the earnings of the passenger and freight traffic. I do not believe, however, that the earnings of the passenger and freight traffic is to be tested wholly by any such criterion, prefer to look at the earnings of the passenger and freight traffic if they are found to be more than they require whether a two-second passenger will or will not be in, and of itself produce in this state is the transportation of freight, and it clearly appears from the earnings of the passenger that they regard passenger traffic as an important source of income, make it the source of any considered net income. Canned checks representing several millions of dollars the product of many years, have been used to decorate the offices of the Stoller Commission Company, in Kansas City. No one has less than $1,650, and one is for $40,000. The money represented in one on over $900,000. Every check has the signature of Frank P. Stoller, a member of the firm. Three years ago, Miss Edwina Lawrence, of Ohio, had a quarrel with her uncle and became a stenographer resolved to earn her own living. She secured employment at the Montecito, Atlantic City. She has just landed her uncle who recently died, has left a legacy of $250,000. This is evidently a bute to her pluck in facing the world determined to make her own way. I account three suggestions to you to be维系 by your mature judgment before beginning in inquiry as to the justice or injustice if any action you take against the railway company, whether from the passenger or the driver, involves a high sense of responsibility and it demands for its consideration at all times that you will examine it, and act upon without delay. For my own part, I am deeply convinced that a reduction in the passenger fare necessarily warrants the abstention of a two-cent rate for the exiting three- Freight Rates. I understand perfectly that nothing that you could do satisfies the requirement of the railroads to make the settlement policy of the railroads to make the interstate rate, so far as Iowa people are concerned, the state line to the point of destination it is possible to adjust our rates that follow our application in that manner. At the present time, there are no joint rates upon specific application, to establish a joint rate, or a general module of joint rates. The constitutionality of the existing statute was determined in which it arose was determined upon another issue, and therefore the validity of the statute under the subject to you, and worthy of your most careful consideration. It is believed by very many of our manners that our general shippers, that the law should be amended so as to confer upon you the authority to establish a schedule of joint rates, embring all railroads, and all traffic, as it now requires a schedule of rates over single lines. Demurrage. Two propositions will be admitted with- It seems to me consistent with good practice to insist on the duty of not posed upon both sides. If the railway companies are remits in their duty of not posing a danger to their passengers should pay for their delinquency, and it the shipper and consignee are negligent in not paying for their fault. I recommended the sufficient motive in both carriers and shipmen to do their fully duty in his regard. Free Transportation. Hours of Continuous Labor in Railway Service.

The experience of each year, as it passes, embodies imminent change in the methods of nominating candidates. We have long tried the plan of nominating candidates and the defects discovered in this system have been so manifest that there is a p. p. p. p. of difficulty. We carefully recommend, as I have recommended before, an efficient primary system for online and offline correctly assemble differences of opinion with respect not only to the scene but the details of such differences may be so broad and so fundamental that they cannot be reconciled, but shall not impose upon you at this time more than a statement of the law should contain. First it should embrace the nominations of candidates for all the offices of the municipal or district, including the office of Senator of the plenipotentiary, the office of the commissioner of for three offices by the primary vote, and the commissioner of elective electromenaces to convey agreement to the event of a tie. Tied the primary vote held throughout the State on the day and of the same places. Fourth should be some fair test of party affiliation. I know that there are some thoughtful students of the subject who were thus in the midst of adolescence, and I grant that there may be instances in which the concurence of a majority of the students of a majority of the cases would be to make no substantial change in the present society, and I would be called to nominate candidates. If, therefore, we are to advance at all, it seems that we must adopt nominations by pluralities. I am aware, also, that there are many students of the Supreme and District Courts. At the Supreme Court, and Superintendent of Public Instruction, should not be included, do not share the fear which leads to writing to concede that if there are to be exceptions to the full and complete operation of the law, as along this line, rather than any one, I leave the subject with you, confident that the vast importance and in accordance with the audit which so universally prevails, *Contributions by Corporations For Poor* In this connection, I desire to submit here that must be some expenditure of money in every political campaign, whether for a public purpose or for ultimate purposes for which money can be expended, and to this extent, when concluding the criticism of the practice. We will all agree, however, that the expenditures of the campaign must be missed both a fair and reasonable limit. Other countries and other states have at least a strong incentive to honest bounds through that very efficient corrective—muddy. I think the state should strongly correct a law that will resonate not only political committees, but also the public, to publish their expenditures.

The senators will make the application to Congress for a Constitutional Congress. The constitution does not limit the scope of the Constitutional Congress, but it does not because it was believed that it is not in the power of Congress to limit the conduct of the convention. Corporations. My observation and experience intensify the conclusions I have twice announced in my book, the organization of corporations. I take one step further and say that it seems to me that the organization of corporations is time to require the articles of incorporation of every corporation hereafter organized by the Executive Council, with the Attorney General added, before they are permitted to be prepared to prevent the establishment of a large number of associations either unwalnut and fraudulent in their purpose or imperfect in their plan.

Our own corrupt corporations to issue stock as they now do is no more defensible than upon a defenseless people.

Mr. Frank Little, a well-known citizen of Portland, Ionia Co., Mich., was cured of a severe case of rheumatism in his parents' Pink Pills. In speaking about it he said, a body was run down, and a condition to withstand disease and about five years ago I began to feel rheumatic pain in my arms and across my back. My arms and legs grew numb and the rheumatism seemed to settle in every joint so that I could hardly move, while my arms were useless at times. I was unable to sleep or rest well and my heart pain me so terribly I could hardly stand my stomach became sour and bloated after eating and this grew so bad that I had inflammation of the stomach. I extremely ous and could not bear the heart noise or excitement. One whole side if my body became malwed. "As I said before, I had been suffering about five years and seemed to be able to get no relief from my doctors, when a friend here in Portland told me how Dr. Williams Pink Pills had cured him of neuropathy in the face, even after the pain had drawn it to one side. I decided to try the pills and began to see some improvement soon after using them. This encouraged me to keep on until I was entirely cured.

He found by ex- perlence that when a medfum-shaped head {s placed in a soft cushion the ebild turns on {ts back, or rests on the beck of its head, in order to free month, nose and face. In this manner the head rests smoothly, and a short head fs developed.

Pauper Clerymen. That ministers are underpaid would seen evident from the fact that during the last ten years 163 clergymen have been admitted to mishmons in England as papers. Of these, one was a doctor of divinity, while the others held the degree of bishop or clergyman in England, 6,000 earn less than $20 a week, and the greatest majority much less.—The Sunday Magazine.

It is to Lord Roseberry that we are indebted for the most modern definition of memory. "What is memory?" said a friend one day to him. "Memories are things that steals over us when we listen to our friends' original stories." Habit and Imitation. Habit is our primal fundamental law. Habit and limitation—there is nothing more perennial in us than these two. They are the source of all working and all apprenticeship, as well as all learning, in the word.—Carlyle. City and Country Dwellers It is a mistake to suppose that the oldest countries always have the largest proportion of city dwellers.

Ireland furnishes the largest proportion of women. Hospital Built by Woman. A magnificent hospital, to be known as the Ho Min Ling, has just been opened by the governor of Hongkong.

No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, pure and good without the world being the better for it, without somebody being well and comforted by the very existence of this goodness.-Phillips Brooks Where the Acorns Are. A new instructor in natural history has made his advent in Central park, New York. Going up to a group of children, a man said: "You are waiting your time here. You will find your nest."

A bright and happy morning salutation to your neighbor will give him courage for the week day.—Baltic more American. Small Kindness Count Small kindnesses make a hundred friends where great talents make but one. All Dread Ridicule. Almost any man can be calm in the face of denunciation, but few one stand to be laughed at. Some people never dream of pruning anything or anybody. They take everything as a matter of course, and imagine that they show their superiority by so doing. They little dream that they never get the best service owing to their misgardiness in showing their appreciation. It is surprising how a little word of praise stimulates to new effort, and puts life and interest into the work of those about us. The winter palace is the cast's winter house 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.
