In America this seems to be the age of discrimination through the old axiom "the survival of the fittest" so in this epoch of the American drama upon the arena of public guaze we see innumerable discriminations practic in commercial life, business activities, political dealings and even in religious and educational affairs of life, but more especially do we observe this unfair dealing with races nations, countries, states and individuals if their color does not suit the ruling power. Our nation or any nation cannot hope to live long and prosper when such prejudical line on account of color be drawn. We must permit all of God's children to enter into equal competition in ABR Born February 12 1812, in Kentucky Emancipated all the American the race of life before this country can truly be called the land of the free and home of the brave. Our government is now on the eve of trouble with Japan, simply because our American prejudice waft allow their children to attend the common public schools in San Francisco. This is wrong it is an injustice. Yet in certain states this same prejudice will not allow the colored children to attend the same public schools. We believe in mixed schools and mixed teachers, for we are teaching the same course and living in the same land. ABRAHAM LINGOLN. Next Tuesday the American patriot and true citizens will pause a moment to do honor to speak a word, sing a song or think of the manifold blessings the natal day of Abraham Lincoln, whose achievements have heightened human aspirations and broadened the field of opportunity to humanity. We think it is an inestimable privilege to be permitted to do honor to this master of mankind who belongs to the ages. The story of the simple life of this plain, honest, manly citizen, true patriot, profound statesman, and always the common people's friend ought to be read and re-read by the people of this generation and inculcated into their very lives. If the people of this age could fully see Abraham Lincoln, the man of destiny with character made and moulded by divine power. The father of his country with the pulse of ten millions of bondmen throbbing in his heart and pleading and praying for their liberties and rights. We would well call him the burden bearer, the encantor, the patriot, the statesman, the diplomit and the child of divine destiny; as Emerson says, "My angel,—his name is freedom,—choose him to be your king; he shall cut pathways east and west, and 'fend you with his wing.'"

Well-Known New York Contractor Hands Concern Ready to Con- struct Waterway — Work Going On Rapidly. Washington — W. J. Oliver, the lower bidder for the construction of the Panama canal, who has been for the past week engaged in per- fecting the terms of his bid according to the suggestions of the president and Secretary Taft, returned to Washington on Wednesday and on behalf of the Panama Construction company filed his completed bid at the offices of the Industria Canal commission. This was the last day of grace allowed by the president since the conference was held at the White House between Mr. Oliver and the president, Secretary Taft and others, on January 27, and in the meantime Mr. Oliver has succeeded in enlisting the services of a number of prominent capitalists and contractors and in organizing and incorporating a corporation to undertake the construction of the canal if the contract is awarded to them. It is believed that Mr. Oliver's amended proposition will be taken in hand along with the other bids submitted a fortnight ago and a careful examination made to determine whether or not any one of these bids shall be accepted or whether the government shall continue to dig the canal under the management of Chief Engineer Stew.

And Mary Injured in Wreck on North- western Near Des Moines. Des Moines—Beverly killed, two more missing and thought to be dead, nearest injured hovering between life and death, and ten or more seriously hurt was the record of the worst wreck in the history of the Des Moines division of the Chicago & Northwestern, which occurred in late Friday Monday evening at the north- side of the city limits. A coal trade loaded with coal and crowded with miners from the Bloomfield mine broke in two and a dozen cars were plied in the ditch, together with a cabhouse, in which were imprisoned. Conductor Harlan Brueke and Robert Hudson and two school teachers. As the train went over and down an embankment twelve feet in height, the move in the catwalk turned over and set fire to the mass of shattered wood and twisted iron. As the fire ate its way through the wreckage the cries of those feasted beneath the broken cars added a horror to the scene and those who escaped serious injury began tearing the wreckage away from the bodies of the living and the dead. Every effort was made to save the lives of the imprisoned miners, and while the uninjured ones worked with might and main, the rescuing crest of the wreck had brought a score more of farmers living in the area to the scene, worked with the miners and carried away the dead and injured in warring. All of the men killed were miners employed by the Bloomfield Mining company. They have ridden to the city every evening on this coal train, and had just quit work at the mine shortly before the train started. Some of the men were crowded into the cabhouse and others were scattered all over the cars which were wrecked.

All those killed were grunted to death. DES MOINES UNION IN SUIT. Wabash and Milwaukee Roads Want An Accounting Des Moines—Involving as it does the ownership of the Des Moines Union railroad property, valued at $2,000,000, a suit for accounting started in federal court by the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul and the Wabash against the Des Moines Union Railroad company is very important. The Milwaukee and Wabash claim in their petition that the Des Moines Union Railroad company, of which F. M. Hubbell is president, owns that property here simply as trustee for the Wabash and Milwaukee, who claim to be the beneficial owners. The claim is based upon the contract entered into when the Des Moines Union Railroad company was formed in 1864. At that time, the plaintiff assert, the Des Moines Union company was empowered to attend to the law of the interested railroad so that this work might be expedited and that it was given the ownership of the property in the city only as trustee for the railroads entering into the agreement. Since that time, the petition alleged, the Des Moines Union has gradually usurped the entire ownership for itself to such an extent as to expend $100,000 in improvements which the plaintiffs claim was illegal because not authorized by them. Moreover, the plaintiffs assert that the directors of the Des Moines Union at their meeting last March voted President Hobbell $27,500 as president of the road from 1901 to 1905 and the secretary a salary of $2,500 per year. These amounts, the plaintiffs assert, were to come from the surplus earnings but according to the petition the surplus earnings should be apportioned to the beneficial owners and not to the officials of the Des Moines Union Railroad company. These surplus earnings amount to $125,000 the petition asserts. It is to have the defendant company declared to be owners in trust only that the present suit is brought. An immediate accounting is asked. DETECTIVES HUNT LYNCHERS Private Bureaus Have Many Agents In Floyd County.

TO REVIBE FREIGHT SCHEDULE. State Railroad Commissioners Decide Upon Important Action. Den Muines.—A general revision of the entire freight rate schedules and classification of town lines has been ordered by the state board of railroad commissioners. Announcement of the fact was made by W. L. Eaton, for the board, at the adjournment of the hearing on live stock freight rates at the capital on the average of the 7th. The decision of the commission to open up the whole question was unanimous and is the result of considerable deliberation.

They have been amended many times, but never before that the whole subject of freight rates Iowa has been opened up, except when the present schedules were made in 1889. admitted.

FEARFUL BURNING SORES lay in Misery 12 Years—Eccema in Rough Scales, itching and inflamed—Cured by Culicura. "I wish to inform you that your wonderful Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. The longer the doctors treated him the worse it became. During the day it would get rough and form like scales. At night it would be cracked, infamed, and badly swollen, with terrible burning and itching. When I think of his suffering, it nearly breaks my heart. His screams could be heard dowestail. The suffering of my son made me full of misery. I had no ambition to work, to eat, nor could I sleep. One doctor told me that my son's eczema was incurable, and gave it up for a bad job. One evening I saw an article in the paper about the wonderful Cuticura and decided to give it a trial. I tell you that Cuticura Ointment is worth its weight in gold, and when I had used the first box of Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent, my child was cured.

Institution of Menageries Was Due to Two Incentives. The Chinese had the first zoo. Menageries are thought to owe their origin partly to the cult of sacred animals and partly to the ambition of rulers to possess specimens of rare and valuable creatives from foreign lands or savage beasts from their own. in the simplest forma zoological gardens were one of the earliest developments of culture, and were familiar to the Chinese, Indians, Greeks, Romans, and pre-Spanish Mexicans in ancient times. The oldest recorded menagerie is Chinese, dating from 1150 B. C. The den of lions kept by Darius, as described in the book of Daniel, is an example of one of those primitive menageries, while the cult of sacred white horses by the ancient Greeks and Romans and that of so-called white elephants in Burma and Siam are instances of a second type. A live giraffe was received at the menagerie of Schonbrun as early as 1823. Jews In Senate Chamber Jews in Senate Chamber.

Occult Review. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new.

NERVOUS NEADACHES Dr. Williams' Pink Pills Will Cure Most Cases and Should Interest Every Sufferer. Nobody who has not endured the suffering caused by nervous headache can realize the awful agony of its victims. Worst of all, the ordinary treatment cannot be relied upon to cure nor even to give relief. Some doctors will say that if a person subject to these headaches there is nothing that can be done to prevent their recurrence. Nervous headaches, as well as analgia, are caused by lack of nutrition—the nerves are starved. The only way to feed the nerves is through the blood and it is in this way that Dr. Williams' Pink Pills have accomplished so many remarkable cures. "I read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in a paper and decided to them. I first noticed that they can give me an appetite and a commended to gain in weight and color.

To save the life of her husband, charged with murder, she bared to the world the innermost secrets of her soul—a portrayal for which a sanctuary were a more fitting place than the crowded, gaping courtroom. It was the same story she told Harry Thaw in Paris in 1903, when he had asked her to become his wife—the confession of one who felt there was an enemy. She was becoming the bride of the man she loved. In the big witness chair she appeared but a slip of a girl and she told the pliful story of her eventful young life in a frank, grilish way. When tears came unbidden to her big eyes, she said, "I will not seetle checks, she strove in vain to keep them back. Though the lump in her throat at times seemed about to another her, she forced the words from trembling lips and by a marvelous display of courage, which took her willingly to her staggering ordeal, she shook off a depression which once threatened to become an absolute collapse. As the young wife unfolded the narrative of her girlhood and told the early struggles of herself, and her mother to keep body and soul together; of how gaint poverty stood ever at the door, and how she finally was able to earn a living by posing in front of her, she won the murmured sympathy of the throng which filled every available space in the big court room. There came the relation of the wreck of that girlhood at 16 years of age. It was the story of her meeting with Stanford White, the story of the sumptuous studio apartment, whose luxurious furnishings within; of a velvet covered swing in which one could swing until slipped toes crashed through the paper of a Japanese parasol swung above, the story of a glass of champagne, quick whirling sensation and mirrored bedroom walls, and the story of "Don't scream so loud; it is all over. It is all right." "And this was Stanford White?" The question came from Delphin M. Delmas, now conducting the defense of Harry Thaw. The stillness of the crowd which was big, bustling, shoving and snarling over some especially coveted seat when court convent, was its own tribute to the effect of the girl's story. Into the narrative there entered nothing of the woman of the world. A girl in face and figure, Mrs. A girl in face and figure, she stood an ordeal which might have startled into terror a woman of mature and harsher experiences than hers. JOHN D. GIVES $32,000,000. Oil King Increases Gift to Education to $43,000,000. New York, Feb. 6.—Thirty-two millions of dollars worth of income bearing securities was the gift which John D. Rockefeller, through his son, John D. Rockefeller, Jr., announced to the general education board, when it assembled for a special meeting in this city late yesterday afternoon. For general educational purposes through the inquiry is given as the purpose of this donation—the largest single prize ever handed out for such purposes. While the board was in session yesterday, gifts to five colleges were ordered, amounting in all to $400,000, as follows: Beloit college of Beloit, Wils. Morginside college at Sloux City, Ia., and Wabash college at Easton, Pa. $50,000 each. Wabash college of Crawfordsville, Ind., and the University of Wooster, Wooster, O. $125,000 each.

As condition as receiving these gifts, the colleges are raising the further total sum of $3,282,500. As Mr. Rockefeller previously had given the board $11,000,000 for the contributions now amount to $43,000,000. education board apparently was not prepared for this gift, which was announced simply in this letter: New York, Feb. 6, 1907.—General Education Board, 64 William street, New York.—Gentlemen: My father authorizes me to say that on or before April 1, 1907, he will give to the general board income securities bearing the present market value about $22,000,000, one-third to be added to the permanent endowing of the board and two-thirds to be applied to such specific objects within the corporate purposes of the board, as either he or she may wish. The remainder not so designated at the death of the survivor to be added also to the permanent endowment of the board. Very truly. John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Most of the members of the board were surprised at the announcement and amazed at the size of the gift.

Miss Annie Peck, whose chief pleasure is climbing mountains, has returned to New York from Peru, beaten in her attempt to climb the highest mountains, beaten not by the mountain itself, beaten not by the worthlessness of the men she employed in porters on the expedition. She is convinced that she would have reached the summit but for the faults of her men and says she is going back with Swiss mountain men to make another attempt. As it was she reached a height of 18,000 feet, being then about 2,000 feet above the summit. This was at her first attempt. One of her men deserted and the rest got drunk on the alcohol which as carried as fuel for cookin' on the trip. She approached the top of the mountain, of which they have a superstitious dread. The second attempt was like the first, except that the men gave out sooner and so less progress was made. The attempt had to be abandoned. Caution.

Lafcade Hearn's Testimony as to Strength of Japanese Wine. There is no liquor in the world upon which a man becomes so quickly inexplicated as Japanese sake (rice wine), and yet none of which the effects last so short a time. The inexplication is pleasant as the effect of opium or haste药. It is soft, pleasant, luminous exhilaration, everything becoming brighter, happier, lighter; then you get very sleepy. At Japanese dinners it is the rule to become slightly exhilarated, but not to drink enough to talk thickly or walk crooked. The ability to drink at banquets requires practice—long practice. There are banquets of many kinds, and the man who is invited to one at which extensive drinking may be expected is careful to start in upon an empty or almost empty stomach. By not eating one can drink a good deal. The cups are very small and of many curious shapes. One may be expected to empty 50. A quart of sake is a good deal; two quarts require iron nerves to stand. But among the Japanese there are wonderful drinkers. At a military officer's banquet a captain offered me a tambier holding a good pint of sake. I almost fainted at the sight of it, for it was only the first. But a friend said to me: "Only drink a little and pass it back," which I did. Stronger heads emptied cup after cup like water.—Letters of Lacadie That Causes all the Trouble.

"For a number of years," says a Kansas lady, "I felt sure that coffee was hurting me, and yet, I was so fond of it, I could not give it up. I paltered with my appetite and of course yielded to the temptation to drink more. At last I got so bad that I made up my mind I must either quit the use of coffee or die. "Everything I ate distressed me, and I suffered severely almost all the time with palpitation of the heart. I frequently woke up in the night with the feeling that I was almost gone,—my heart seemed so smothered and weak in its action. In my breath grew short and the least exertion set on pacing. I slept but little and suffered from rheumatism. "Two years ago I stopped using the old kind of coffee and began to use Postum Food Coffee, and from the very first I began to improve. It worked a miracle! Now I can eat anything and digest it without trouble. I sleep like a baby, and my My breathing has become steady and normal, and my rheumatism has left me. I feel like another person, and it is all due to quitting coffee and using Postum Food Coffee, for I haven't used any medicine and none would have done any good as long as I kept drugging with coffee."
