August 10, 1905. To Whom it May Concern: This is to certify that I am "looking" better than I did three months ago, and that it is all because I am "looking" through glasses fitted to my eyes by Dr. Lew Arntz of Des Moines, opposite the street car station. Now this is no joke: I have tried several years to get the help I needed for my eyes, once in Fairflied, one in Burlington, twice in Chicago. It would take $75 to foot the bills all told. Each time I was told that all had been done that could be, but it I have met them and seen their need of help. I take this way to tell many more whom I may not see until it be too late to help them, or perhaps, not at all. I would rather have Dr Lew Arntz's ability to help the human vision than to be a millionaire. It is a fortune in itself besides in its use it scatters blessings on every side. If you have any trouble with your eyes no matter what it is, remember it will cost you nothing to have him examine them and that he will tell you just what can be done and will do it if you give him a chance. I find him very reasonable in his charges. Remember he does more then merely fit a pair of glasses; it may mean a number of them as he develops your vision. You may be sure I am glad that my experience will let me say these things and I ask my friends to take this as a personal letter. Hopefully yours REV. O. W. CATLIN. EDITORALS.

My parents tried in vain for fifteen years to get help for me, but never succeeded until I heard of Dr. Lew Arnts, of Des Moines, Iowa, whom I consulted, and I was told that the messies, which had a perfect sight, could not read the print easily, and can also see at a distance the people. My parents tried all kinds of remedies for me when I was a child, but at last gave up in despair, as a specialist informed them when I was about 8 years old that nothing could be done, as my eyes contained practically no sight. What I most regret is that I was not able to read the print easily, which has been a problem for my people." "If Dr. Lew Arnts had been consulted ten years ago I might have attended school like other children." BERTHA LARSON." OBITUARY. MT. PLEASANT NOTES. On Wednesday March 37 1907 the Death Angel entered the home of Mr. and Mrs K. Bartlett about the noon hour and took from their midst their second daughter, Miss Lydia, although it was well known that she could not recover and her death was to be expected almost anytime, yet it was a severe shock to her home and the community. She was born near Salem Iowa Nov. 14, 1878 and moved with her parents to Mt. Pleasant when about one year old. She entered the public schools in childhood and graduated from the Mt. Pleasant High School at the age of 17. For four years afterwards she was a clerk for Drs. Slim and Linn leading physicians of the city. From childhood to the grave Lyd'a was an obedient patient and loving daughter, sister and friend. She became a member of the A. M. E. Sunday School when a little girl, and a member of the A. M. E. church when 19 years of age to which organizations, she was a faithful member until death holding various offices in each having been Superintendent of the Sunday School since 1899. In 1904 when the Iowa District Conference and Sunday School Convention met here Miss Bartlett was elected the District Superintendant and having filled the position with such entire satisfaction was re-elected at the convention at Des Moines 1905 and in Clarinda in 1906, the District never had a Superintendant more loyal. In the summer of 1903 Miss Bartlett had a severe attack of catarraph of the stomach, and since that time her health has been failing, and she was unable to visit many schools in her district, a fact she often regretted. In August of 1906 she visited the convention of Sub-District No. 2 of the Iowa District Sunday School Convention which met at Kokuk, while there she became ill and was compelled to return home and cancel her visit with the Sub-District No. 1 convention when met at De Moines the following week, from that time on her health rapidly failed; although Miss Hartlett was unable for seven months to attend her Sunday School duties here at home, not only was Lydia a faithful member of the church, but was one of the charter members of the I.

(SPECIAL TO BOSTANDAY) On Wednesday March 27 1907 the Death Angel entered the home of Mr. and Mra K. Bartlett about the noon hour and took from their midst their second daughter, Miss Lydia, although it was well known that she could not recover and her death was to be expected almost anytime, yet it was a severe shock to her home and the community. She was born near Salem Iowa Nov. 14, 1878 and moved with her parents to Mt. Pleasant when about one year old. She entered the public schools in childhood and graduated from the Mt. Pleasant High School at the age of 17. For four years afterwards she was a clerk for Drs. Smith and Linn leading physicians of the city. From childhood to the grave Lyd's was an obedient patient and loving daughter, sister and friend. She became a member of the A. M. E. Sunday School when a little girl, and a mem ber of the A. M. E. church when 19 years of age to which organizations, she was a faithful member until death holding various offices in each having been Superintendent of the Sunday School since 1899. In 1904 when the Iowa District Conference and Sunday School Convention met here Miss Bartlett was elected the District Superintendant and having filled the position with such entire satisfaction was re-elected at the convention at Des Moines 1905 and in Clarinda in 1906, the District never had a Superintendant more loyal. In the summer of 1903 Miss Bartlett had a severe attack of catarraph of the stomach, and since that time her health has been failing, and she was unable to visit many schools in her district, a fact she often regretted. In August of 1906 she visited the convention of Sub-District No. 2 of the Iowa District Sunday School Convention which met at Kokuk, while there she became ill and was compelled to return home and cancel her visit with the Sub-District No. 1 convention when 1000 Stiles to Select From Just You Pick Them Out United W EYES TEST By the Des Moines Leading Doctor of Optics Upairs Opposite Street Car Walking Room Mutual Phone 718.

Her First Falling In Love. It takes several rehearsals to make a girl letter perfect in the little game of matrimony. The first time a girl falls in love all she knows about a man is that he is a good waltzer and wears proper collars, that his hair curls at the edges, and that he doesn't tread on her frocks—Helen Rowland's "Digressions of Polly." 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 sublime to the ridiculous might be more spectacular, but never more complete. At the present time the most popular and fashionable variety is the Angora or Persian, a long-haired cat—and blues and silvers claim the distinction of having the largest number of breeders and admirers. The notoriety of this particular breed of cat, commonly, is chiefly due to the difficulty that has been experienced in the production of a perfect specimen, says Home Magazine. These cats should be without any bars or stripes, which constitute the chief beauty of the tabby breeds. The Angoras of Persians are large and finely furred, having splendid long coats, with head almost buried in fluff and ruff, and fine spreading tails. The blue Persian has orange eyes—the blue, white eyes. Black, white, cream, orange and tortoise-shell Angoras all have their special admirers, and classes are provided for each of these less popular breeds nowadays. Smoke Persians claim more than a passing mention, for they are extremely quiet and beautiful, with their dark outer fur and white under coats, pale gray frills and black faces. South Dakota is going to divorce it self from the divorce evil, at least to a considerable extent. The people of that state have become disgusted at the ease and frequency with which divorces are obtained there, and particularly displeased because of the scandal involved in the manner in which outsiders use the easy laws of that locality in severing matrimonial ties, and a change has been insisted upon. As it stands now a six months residence gives a person the right to sue for divorce. The legislature has passed a bill fixing the period of residence at one year in the state and three months in the county in which proceedings are instituted, and providing that all hearings shall be in open court. It is alleged, says Troy Times, that this will put an end to the "divorce industry" in which so many outsiders have engaged, and that South Dakota will cease to be the Mecca of unhappily mated individuals anxious for quick release. Mrs. M. J. Ross, of Postmaster Ross, of Mother Gibson, I. T., has just passed her seventy-ninth year, and she is perhaps the most distinguished Cherokee woman now living. She was born in Georgia. Her father was Louis Ross, brother of John Ross, unquestionably the most noted chief of the Cherokees, having ruled over 40 years. The late Queen Victoria was a most diligent and voluminous letter writer. Proof of this fact will come out in the fall in three thick volumes containing her letters written between 1837 and 1861. To the extent that these letters bear upon public matters they will be a valuable contribution to the history of the long reign of the queen Russia is evacuating Manchuria. By the terms of the treaty of Portsmouth the evacuation was to be affected by April 15, but Russia has decided not to wait for the appointed time. The purpose of the early withdrawal is said to be to hasten the reestablishment of peaceful relations with China and Japan. Mme. Calve thinks that there are many good voices that are never developed. How Gray's elegy does repeat itself: "Full many a singer's born to die unheard. And waste her sweetness on the desert alr." There are not many men that sign their names oftener than King Edward. It is said that he has to affix his autograph at least 50,000 official documents every year—an average of about 160 for each working day—and this, of course, in addition to all his private signatures. A courtship which lasted over 30 years was lately consummated in marriage at Aujed, Moravia. The blooming "young couple" are a well-seasoned pair. The groom, Joseph Koppver, is 101 years old, and the bride, Rosa Woldner, is over 100. Air and water are all the food we need, according to a Toledo physician. He doubtless meant the kind of water they serve in Toledo, St. Louis and New Orleans, remarks the Chicago Journal. A suite of ten rooms that has been reserved in a New York hotel for the duchess of Mariborough is being decorated in rose and blue. The duchess is apparently determined to let the duke understand that things can be rosy even without him. The most beautiful woman in California attributes her good looks to the fact that she plows for an hour every morning. Will not the snow shovel or the lawn mower do as well as the plow? King Edward's cigar bill is large. He is an inverteate smoker, and the "weed" is valued at anything from "a dollar to two and a half" apiece. It is said that the king's cigars are the product of a particular plantation in Havana which supplies no one but his majesty and Lord Rothschild. The duchess of Roxburgh, who was Miss May Goelet of New York, has taken up the prevalent craze to collect animals, and she is building a miniature zoo at Floors castle.

Roads Give Des Moines Agents Important Notification. Des Moines.—Des Moines railway passenger agents have been unofficially notified that the roads will revise their tariffs so that the new Iowa 2-cent rate law will apply to interstate as well as state business. There has been much interest a to the probable attitude of the road on this question, and the information received by local agents, while no final, is considered definite. Among other things the statement says: "We depreciate the apprehension disposition on the part our city government to exempt from tax the slinks blindly to pass the slinks of iniquity and enforcement of law upon men and women who revel in vice." Rev. Dr. Waterman, pastor of the First Congregational church, is the Intendent of resolutions and they were signed by Rev. S. R. Beatty, pastor of the First Mystolist Episcopal; Rev. Dr. S. Willis Madden, pastor of the First Presbyterian church, and the other memorials. Meantime the saloonkeepers do not propose to stand idly by while the anti-saloon league secures injunctions against their establishment. For now the liquor men have offered little resistance to actions that have been brought against them under the Martin law, but the filing of suits against nearly one-half of the saloon men of the city is the indispensable of the anti-saloon league, with Col. A. D. Collier as attorney, has aroused the saloon men and they have employed T. S. Bevington to make a statement to the support of the business element of Sloux City in the stand they have taken against the anti-saloon league. SAFE BLOWERS PLEAD GUILTY. Martin Moore Sent to Anamosa For Fight Years Manchester.—Martin Moore and Barney Hansen, the two men indicted by the grand jury last week for the Masonville bank robbery, were arraigned before Judge F. C. Platt and both pleaded guilty to the charge. Moore received eight years and six months, sentence being deferred on the grounds of insufficiency. Sheriff Henessy at once took Moore to the Anamosa penitentiary. Moore will be a familiar figure in the institution, for, like Hansen, he has "done them there." The crime follows close upon the helms of the offence, for it was only a few weeks ago when Moore, Hansen, and Gadbols exploded three charges of ultra-glycerin at the Masonville bank, secured at 4000 from the police after being revolver fight in the dark with the night operator of the railroad. Both men were captured in less than thirty-six hours, near Manchester, where they were found hiding in a hay stack on the bank. The body was practically all recovered, but Gadbols is still at large. HUB OF A NETWORK. Polk Plans Will Make Des Moines a Big Center. Des Moines.—The plan as is now being carried out by the Polks will make Des Moines the hub of a network of interburbs. The Perry and Jackson lines from the northwest, the proposed AdelGreenfield-Villisca line the entrance from the west, Park's Creston-Winterstreet line the entrance from the northwest, the proposed Marshallpoint line the entrance from the northeast. The AdelGreenfield-Villisca project a glimpse of its infancy. Citizens of adel are anxious to secure a Des Moines connection by extending the Urbanead line. Prominent Greenfield citizens several months ago started a project in the building of a new office from there. The noters of this do not believe that the franchise recently voted at Greenfield to another company will interfere with their plans. They also have the possibility that this will be part of an electric line between Des Moines and Kansas City. TRYS TO END LIFE Prominent Lady of Ackley Cuts Her Own Threat. Ackley—Cutting her throat and wrist with razor in the kitchen of her home, Mrs. George Dental is lying at the point of death. No cause is known for the attempted suicide, as she was a patient at the case is shrouded in the deepest mystery, the family and doctors refusing to discuss the affair in any manner. Mrs. Dental is one of the most prominent women of the town and city, a woman of the family son is a leading merchant; here She went to the kitchen and a moment later members of the family heard a fall. They rushed to the scene to find her covered with blood. The only motive known is that she was a patient at the condition of her daughter-in-law Max Dental, whom she was nursing, who is dying of consumption. TEACHER SCARCITY SHOWN TWO-CENT FARE FOR ALL. Roads Give Des Moines Agents Important Notification. Des Moines—Des Moines railway passenger agents have been unofficially notified that the roads will revise their tariffs so that the new 2-cent rate law will apply to interstate as well as state business. There has been much interest as to the probable attitude of the roads on this question, and the information received by local agents, while not fully understood, has been when Ohio enacted the 2-cent fare law a few years ago, the railways first attempted to fight it by refusing to make it apply to other than state business. The railway on the old schedule of 3 cents per mile. The rule caused the railways endless trouble, and finally they decided to revert and revisit their interstate passenger schedule of tariffs on the old schedule of 3 cents per mile. Local passenger agents declare that the 2-cent rate will undoubtedly result in diminishing the number of local excursions. Special trains will be allowed to operate on the 2-cent rate will be adhered to. There is now serious doubt as to whether the roads will make rates for the annual Iowa state fair. Last year they made a one rate for the straight 2-cent rate, this year. If they insist on the straight 2-cent rate, it will be 4 cents per mile. By making it a fare and a half the round trip rate could be made a cents rate, the same as the round trip rate some of the roads are opposed to doing this.

REPLY TO JUDGE PARKER Mr. Roosevelt Repeats His Statement of 1904—Says He Knows Some Contributions Were Returned. Washington. — President Roosevelt discussed with a number of his callers Wednesday various features of the controversy between Mr. Harriman and himself, growing out of the publication of the letters between them. He desired not to be quoted in the matter, however. To his friends the president made it plain that his version of Mr. Harriman's visit preceded the election of 1904 was that Mr. Harriman wanted assistance from the national Republican committee to help Chairman Odell in the New York state campaign towards whose expenses he (Harriman) had raised $100,000. The president promised to communicate with Messrs. Cortez and Bliss to see what could be done. He did in this he declared, just what he had done in other instances where he had been appealed to to help in state campaigns. To some of his visitors the president referred to the statement made public Tuesday night by Judge Alton B. Parker in Albany, in which he said that it has never been denied that $150,000 was turned over by the Eutable, Mutual and New York Life Insurance companies to Mr. Cortheyla's committee, and that companies fused to make an origination into contributions of 1904 or to pass a law prohibiting such contributions in the future. Refers to Reply of 1904. On this subject the president referred to a statement which he made on November 4, 1904, in which he said in part: "That contributions have been made to the Republican committee, as contributions have been made to the Democratic committee, in the question at issue, Mr. Parker's assertion is in effect that such contributions have been made for improper motives, either in consequence of threats or in consequence of improper promises, direct or indirect on the part of the recipients. But there is not one particle of truth in the statement." The president, as supporters, the president declared, have been able to traverse or question the statements made in that answer. Refused Several Contributions. The president said that to his own knowledge about a dozen contributions offered by Chairman Corteloy and that others had been accepted. A contribution by the American Tobacco company, he said, had been returned. A prominent man made a contribution of $20,000 to the Republican campaign fund. Subsequently this man had made known his desire for an appointment in the diplomatic service in the United States. As soon as his motives were understood the national committee returned his contribution. The president asserted to his callers that none of the corporations that contributed to the campaign fund in 1904 had come to him for favors, either directly or indirectly. In this connection the president referred to the legislation envisioned by Chairman Corteloy the last two years as disproving any imputations that immunity would be shown them for their contributions. TO PROBE GRAFT CHARGES. Washington Officials Confident Congressman Rainey Is Mistaken. Washington. — Charges of grafting made against the Panama canal commissariat by Representative Rainey of Illinois were ordered fully investigated by the officials here Wednesday. Representative Rainey's charges, which refer particularly to overcharges for meats and other supplies to canal employees and to the contractors' meats on the etchmus will go to Panama by steamer, with orders to investigate.

GROW IS DEAD PENNSYLVANIA STATESMAN SUC CUMBES TO BOLD AGE. Has Record-Breaking Service In Congress—Was the Father of the Homestead Act. Binghamton, N. Y.-Former Congressman Galusha A. Grow died at his home in Glenwood, Pa., Sunday afternoon as a result of a general break-down attributed to old age. Mr. Grow was elected to congress from the Wilmot district of Pennsylvania as the youngest member of that body, in 1851, and after years from public life for nearly 40 years he reentered congress at large from Pennsylvania 14 years ago. When he retired four years ago, his public service in the house extended over the Galusha A. Grow. longest period, although not continuous service, of any man who ever sat in that body. During the antebellum days he was one of the best known men in the United States and in 1864 he came within one vote of being nominated for vice president. In place of Andrew Johnson, who became president on the death of Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Crew was elected speaker of the house of representatives in 1861 and occupied that position during the first two years of the war, until his retirement from congress in 1863. His service was as the father of the homestead act, through which measure many million acres of western farm lands were opened up to settlement by homesteaders, an act which has been credited with doing more than any other one thing for the development of the great American nation, the bar of a family of six children. He was never married. TENEMENT BURNS; FIVE DEAD. Mother and Four Children Perish at Passaic, N. J. Passaic, N. J. — A mother and four of her children perished in a tenement house fire here.

Many women and children were taken down ladderers from the upper stories by the firemen, but the members of the Sotupo family, which occupied rooms on the third floor, are supposed to have been suffocated by smoke before they could escape from their rooms. The bodies of the mother and four children were found in the ruins. DOUBLE SHOOTING IN BOSTON. Man Fataly Wounds Young Woman and Shoots Himself.

MELPING ALONG HIS MEMORY. Husband Willing to Do His Best to Follow Instructions. Mr. Morse is an undemonstrative man and an absent-minded one as well. In these two respects he is a trial to his wife, who is exactly his opposite, "James," she said as she bade him good-by when he was about to start pr Chicago, "will you remember to hunt up Cousin Sarah? and find out all about Aunt Sarah? It is so many years since I’ve heard from any of hat family." "You’re dear." "And do you suppose you will remember to put on your overcoat if the wind changes, so as not to catch one if your dreaded colds?" "Yore my dear." "see, my, you will try to remember that you have plenty of clean collars, so you needn't go about looking as if you needn't to see to you?" "Yes, my dear," said Mr. Morse, as he turned to take up his bag. "And, James," said Mrs. Morse, tearfully, "do you suppose you will think of me every day while you are gone and I am here at home?" "My dear," responded Mr. Morse, with his mind on catching the train, "I will certainly make a memorandum d do so." BLOOD GETS SOUR. Every Family Should Make Up This Home Mixture and Take Now. At this time of year, says a well-known authority, the Kidneys become weak, clogged and inactive, failing to filter out the poisons and acids, whichour the blood, causing not only facial and bodily eruptions, but the worst forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and Stomach troubles, Backache and painful, annoying Urinary allictions. It is worth anyone's time now to get from some good prescription pharmacy the following ingredients: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce; pound$^1$ Syrup $^2$ and powder$^3$ syrup, making well in a bottle at a table in teacupful doses after you meals and at bedtime. This simple home-made mixture will force the Kidneys to normal, healthy action, so they will filter and strain all uric acid and poisonous waste matter from the blood, and expel this in the urine, at the same time restoring the "full blood count"—that is, 95 per cent. red blood corpuscles—which is absolutely indispensable to perfect health. Best Violin Strings The best strings for violins are of Italian make and are from the intestines of spring lams, killed in September. The process of drying and bleaching of the woods and strings by the hot Italian sun, rather than by the artificial method used in other countries, accounts in a great measure for the superior quality of both materials. This intense heat was also the reason for the slow distillation of the oils used by the Italian makers, which always remained at a high temperature, and the varnish, slowly soaking into the woods of the violins beneath the heat of those Italian summers, produced, in part, the mellowness of tone that gives to a Cremona instrument its value, after a lapse of 200° or more years.—March Circle. FURIOUS HUMOR ON CHILD. *tchling, Bleeding Sores Covered Body *Nothing Helped Her—Cuticura Cures Her in Five Days. "After my granddaughter of about seven years had been cured of the measles, she was attacked about a fortnight later by a furious itching and painful eruption all over her body, especially the upper part of it, forming watery and bleeding sores, especially under the arms, of considerable size. She suffered a great deal and for three weeks we nursed her every night, using all the remedies we could think of. Nothing would help. We tried the Cuticura Remedies and after twenty-four hours we noted considerable improvement, and after using only one complete set of the Cuticura Remedies, in five consecutive days the little one, much to our joy, had been entirely cured, and has been well for a long time.

Indians In United States In round figures, there are 284,000 Indians in the United States at the present time, 91,000 of whom are in Indian territory and 10,000 in Oklahoma, or 106,000 in the coming state. Those of Indian territory, the five civilized tribes—Chocokees, Creeks, Chocotas, Chickasaws and Seminoles—have been managing their own affairs for two-thirds of a century, and are in all respects fitted for the citizenship which they are soon to exercise. All of these, and nearly all of those in the Oklahoma end of the coming state, wear civilized dress, and have schools, churches and the other accompaniments of civilization—Leslie's.

Lens At the present time the most popular and fashionable variety is the Angora or Persian, a long-haired cat—and blues and silvers claim the distinction of having the largest number of breeders and admirers. The notoriety of this particular breed of cat, commonly, is chiefly due to the difficulty that has been experienced in the production of a perfect specimen, says Home Magazine. These cats should be without any burs or stripes, which constitute the chief beauty of the tabby breeds. The Angoras of Persians are large and finely furred, having splendid long coats, with head almost buried in fuff and ruff, and fine spreading tails. The blue Persian has orange eyes—the blue, white eyes. Black, white, cream, orange and tortoise-shell Angoras all have their special admirers, and classes are provided for each of these less popular breeds nowadays. Smoke Persians claim more than a passing mention, for they are extremely qualit; and beautiful, with their dark outer fur and white under coats, pale gray frills and black faces. South Dakota is going to divorce itself from the divorce evil, at least to a considerable extent. The people of that state have become disgusted at the ease and frequency with which divorces are obtained there, and particularly displeased because of the scandal involved in the manner in which outsiders use the easy laws of that locality in severing matrimonial ties, and a change has been insisted upon. As it stands now a six months' residence gives a person the right to sue for divorce. The legislature has passed a bill fixing the period of residence at one year in the state and three months in the county in which proceedings are instituted, and providing that all hearings shall be in open court. It is alleged, says Troy Times, that this will put an end to the "divorce industry" in which so many outsiders have engaged, and that South Dakota will cease to be the Mecca of unapply mated individuals anxious for quick release. Mrs. M. J. Ross, mother of Postmaster Ross of Fort Gibson, I. T., has just passed her seventy-ninth year, and she is perhaps the most distinguished Cherokee woman now living. She was born in Georgia. Her father was Louis Ross, brother of John Ross, unquestionably the most noted chief of the Cherokees, having ruled over 40 years. The late Queen Victoria was a most diligent and voluminous letter writer. Proof of this fact will come out in the fall in three thick volumes containing her letters written between 1837 and 1861. To the extent that these letters bear upon public matters they will be a valuable contribution to the history of the long reign of the queen Russia is evacuating Manchuria. By the terms of the treaty of Portsmouth the evacuation was to be affected by April 15, but Russia has decided not to wait for the appointed time. The purpose of the early withdrawal is said to be to hasten the reestablishment of peaceful relations with China and Japan. Mme. Calve thinks that there are many good voices that are never developed. How Gray's elegy does repeat itself: "Full many a singer's born to die unheard, And waste her sweetness on the desert air." There are not many men that sign their names oftener than King Edward. It is said that he has to affix his autograph to at least 50,000 documents every year—an average of about 160 for each working day—and this, of course, in addition to all his private signatures. A courtship which lasted over 30 years was lately consummated in marriage at Aujed, Moravia. The blooming "young couple" are a well-seasoned pair. The groom, Joseph Koppver, is 101 years old, and the bride, Rosa Woldner, is over 100. Air and water are all the food we need, according to a Toledo physician. He doubtless meant the kind of water they serve in Toledo, St. Louis and New Orleans, remarks the Chicago Journal. A suite of ten rooms that has been reserved in a New York hotel for the duchess of Marlborough is being decorated in rose and blue. The duchess is apparently determined to let the duke understand that things can be rosey even without him. The most beautiful woman in California attributes her good looks to the fact that she plows for an hour every morning. Will not the snow shovel or the lawn mower do as well as the plow? King Edward's cigar bill is large. He is an inverteate smoker, and the "weed" is valued at anything from a dollar to two and a half" apiece. It is said that the king's cigars are the product of a particular plantation in Havana which supplies no one but his majesty and Lord Rothschild. The duchess of Roxburgh, who was Miss May Goete of New York, has taken up the prevalent craze to collect animals, and she is building a miniature zoo at Floors castle. / IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence Through- out the Commonwealth. SIOUX CITY SALOON WAR. Attitude of Temperance Forces Put operative. TWO-CENT FARE FOR ALL. Roads Give Des Moines Agents Im- portant Notification. Saloon Men on Defensive Sloux City.—The Ministerial association has taken up the udgel in support of Police Matron Thurston, who, in her recent crusade against cheap dances and saloon wine rooms, met with indifference and even open opposition on the part of the police. The ministers unanimously adopted a statement approving of the work of Mrs. Thurston and roundly roasted the city administration for its actions in the statement says: "We depreciate the apparent disposition on the part our city government to exempt from law keeping certain classes and blindly to pass the sinks of iniquity and enforcement of law upon men and women." Rev. Dr. Waterman, pastor of the First Congregational church, is the instigator of the resolutions and they were signed by Rev. S. R. Beatty, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal; Dr. Rev. S. W. Faddien, pastor of the First Presbyterian; and the other members of the committee. Meantime the saloonkeepers do not propose to stand idle by while the anti-saloon league secures injunctions against the escuader in law. For example, the liquor men have offered little resistance to actions that have been brought against them under the Martin law, but the filing of suits against nearly one-half of the saloon men has been independent of the anti-saloon league, with Col. A. D. Collier as attorney, has aroused the saloon men and they have employed T. S. Bevlington to make a complaint against the support of the business element of Sloux City in the stand they have taken against the anti-saloon league. SAFE BLOWERS PLEAD GUILTY. Martin Moore Sent to Anamasa For Flight Years. Manchester—Martin Moore and Barney Hansen, the two men indicted by the grand jury last week for the Masonville bank robbery, were arraigned before Judge F. C. Platt and both pleaded guilty to the charge. Moore received eight years and six months, sentence being deferred on the grounds of insubordination. Sheriff Hennessy at once took Moore to the Anamusia penitentiary. Moore will be a familiar figure in the institution, for, like Hansen, he has "done time" there. Punishment for the time follows the institution, for, like Hansen, he has "done time" there. Punishment for the time follows the institution, for it was only a few weeks ago when Moore, Hansen, and Gabolbs exploded three charges of nitro-glycerin at the Masonville bank, secured about $4,000 from the vault and escaped after a running vault and a police officer of the railroad. Both men were captured in less than thirty-six hours, near Manchester, where they were found hiding in a hay stack on a farm on the outskirts of the city. The booty was practically all recruited. HUB OF A NETWORK. Polk Plans Will Make Des Moines a Big Center. Des Molines.—The plan as is now being carried out by the Polls will make Des Molines the hub of a network of interurbans. The Perry and the Molines are from the northwest, the proposed Adel-Greenfield-Villisca line the entrance from the west, Park's Creston-Winterstreet line the entrance from the northwest, the proposed Greenfield-Villisca line the entrance from the east and a proposed marshalltown line the entrance from the northeast. The Adel-Greenfield-Villisca project is its Infancy. Citizens of Adel are anxious to secure a Des Molines connection by extending the Urbaneale line. Prominent Greenfield citizens several months ago started a project in building a facility from there to Adel. The protesters of this do not believe that the franchise recently voted at Greenfield to another company will interfere with their plans. They also have to work with the protesters will be part of an electric line between Des Molines and Kansas City. TRYS TO END LIFE. Prominent Lady of Ackley Cuts Her Own Throat. Ackley--Cutting her throat and wrist with razor in the kitchen of her home, Mrs. George Dental is lying at the point of death. No cause is known for the attempted suicide, as the case is shrouded in the death mystery, the family and doctors refusing to discuss the affair in any manner. Mrs. Dental is one of the most prominent women of the town and family of the city, her son is a leading merchant, she went to the kitchen and a moment later members of the family heard a fall. They rushed to the scene to find her covered with blood. The only motive known is that she was a dentist, the condition of her daughter-in-law Max Dental, whom she was nursing, and who is dying of consumption. TEACHER SCARCITY SHOWN. Colar Falls.—That teachers in Iowa are a very scarce article is fully realized by the executive office of the State Normal school. Recently the school moved to Grundy county called for eight teachers for rural schools, and other county superintendents in the state are making like demands. Half a dozen leading Iowa superintendents were hired to teach in Grundy and fill vacancies in their cabinet for next year. The city superintendents are experiencing difficulty in obtaining good pedagogical material while important programs are having to include many 32 students at the normal to take rural schools at $40 and over per month. Roads Give Des Moines Agents Important Notification. Des Moines—Des Moines railway passenger agents have been unofficially notified that the roads will revise their tariffs so that the new Iowa 2-cent rate law will apply to interstate as well as state business. There has been much interest as to the probable attitude of the roads on this question, and the information received by local agents, while not considered definite. When Ohio enacted the 2-cent fare law a few years ago, the railways first attempted to fight it by refusing to make it apply to other than state business, the interstate tariffs being figured on the old schedule, per the rules used by the railways endless trouble, and finally they decided to relict and revised their interstate passenger schedules to conform with the 2-cent rate in Ohio. Local passenger agents declare that the 2-cent rate will undoubtedly result in diminishing special trains will be run if the crowds warrant it, but the 2-cent rate will be adhered to. There is now serious doubt as to whether the roads will make rates for the annual Iowa state fair. Lawmakers have proposed fare increases for the round trip, or 3 cents a mile. This year, if they insist on the straight 2-cent rate, it will be 4 cents per mile. By making it a fare and a half the round trip rate could be made to be 3 cents per mile a year, but some of the roads are opposed to doing this. FOR PADDING PAY ROLL Great Western Superintendent Acc cured of Fraud. Des Molles.-Jerry O'Leary of 512 Fifthth street, superintendent of the south division of the Great Western, has been indicted by the grand jury of Warren county for fraud similar to the offenses committed by other officials of the road earlier in the year. When Mr. O'Leary learned of the indictment, he lost no time in going to Indiana, to appear in court there. He went fortified with $10,000 to secure his release, but he was required to return. He was given until the September term of court of Warren county to enter a plea. The indicted official when seen by a reporter was apparently cheerful, and insisted that everything would turn out well. He was indicted in due time. He was not disposed to go into details of the case, in fact he said there were no merits to the indictments whatever. Woman Infidel Fasts 31 Days Webster City.—Not a single morel ori. food has passed the lips of Mrs. Harriet M. Closz, a prominent infidel and free thinker, for over thirty-one days. She stopped eating in an attempt to starve an attack of rheumatism. She uses only water as her diet and continues to do her house work with no sign of fatigue. She will continue the fast a couple of weeks longer. She has been active in her chosen work for several years and is well known in this part of the state. Left Sweetheart to Meet Death Silley—Kissing his sweetheart good-night, John Wilson, a young and prosperous farmer of this vicinity, went to his death. He was struck by a fast train on the Milwaukee road and hurled over one hundred feet. The body was terribly crushed and bruised. Both horses were killed. The driver and his future bride and started to return his home near Bigelow when the fatal accident happened. He was to have been married in June. Board Attacks Treasurer Sloux City.—The board of supervisors have ordered County Treasurer Talley to make an accounting of the interest he has received from public funds. The board has been the custom of the county treasurer to get such interest. The board threatens to go into the courts to force Talley to give up the money. The board recently had trouble over the matter of county do positioners. Finds Infant in Shoe Box Osage—While on a duck hunt west of Meintyre, John Nelson found a shoe box containing the dead body a male infant that apparently has been placed there within twenty-four hours after its birth. Coroner Whitley summoned a jury which rendered the case unresolved above facts. The county attorney is investigating and will endeavor to bring the guilty parties to justice. Girl Cremated in a Bonfire. Marshaltown—While playing with flames around a bonfire, Nellie Brown, the 14-year-old daughter of a farmer, the 14-year-old daughter of a farmer, the clothes caught fire from a flaming brand and the agonized father rushed across the field to her and threw the child into the crack. She was carried to the house and died several hours later of the burns. Ida Farmer Fatally Injured Ida Grove—Tow Brown, aged 73, and one of the oldest and best known pioneer citizens of this county, was severely injured in a runaway. He was taken to the hospital with bushels of oats when the team became frightened and threw him under the belts as they run away. He was wounded and the chances are that he will die. Contract to Waterloo Man New Hampton--The board of supervisors of Chickasaw county has let the contract for the erection of a new poor house, to be built this summer. G. F. Scales of Waterloo is to put up the building for $21,340.50, and the plumbing will be done by George Shearer, also of Waterloo. AFTER AID FOR ODELL PRESIDENT'S VERSION OF HAR RIMAN'S CALL. REPLY TO JUDGE PARKER Mr. Roosevelt Repeats His Statement of 1904—Says He Knows Some Contributions Were Returned. Washington. — President Roosevelt discussed with a number of his callers Wednesday various foxtures of the controversies Mr. Harriman and himself of growing out between the publication of the letters bequeathed them. He desired not to be quoted in the matter, however. To his friends the president made it plain that his version of Mr. Harriman's visit preceding the election of 1904 was that Mr. Harriman wanted assistance from the national Republican committee to help Chairman Odell in the New York state campaign, towards whose expenses he (Harriman) had raised $100,000. The president promised to communicate with Messrs. Corteloy and Bliss to see what could be done.

On this subject the president referred to a statement which he made on November 4, 1904, in which he said in part: "That contributions have been made to the Republican committee, as contributions have been made to the Democratic committee, is not the question at issue. Mr. Parker's assertion is in effect that such contributions have been made for improper motives, either in consequence of threat, or consequence of improper disrespect, direct or indirect, that part of the recipient is not one part of truth in the statement," etc. Neither Mr. Parker nor his support Neither Mr. Parker nor his supers, the president declared, have able to traverse or question ments made in that answer.

GROW IS DEAD PENNSYLVANIA STATESMAN SUCUMBs TO OLD AGE. Has Record-Breaking Service in Congress—Was the Father of the Homestead Act. Binghamton, N. N.-Former Congressman Galusha A. Grow died at his home in Glenwood, Pa. Sunday afternoon as a result of a general breakdown attributed to old age. Mr. Grow was elected to congress from the Wilmot district of Pennsylvania as the youngest member of that body, in 1851, and after retirement from public life for nearly 40 years he reentered the house of representatives as congressman at large from Pennsylvania 14 years ago. When he retired four years ago, his public service in the house extended over the Galusha A. Grow. longest period, although not continuous service, of any man who ever sat in that body. During the antebellum days he was one of the best known men in the United States and in 1864 he came within one vote of being nominated for vice president in place of Andrew Johnson, who became president on the death of Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Grew was elected speaker of the house of representatives in 1861 and occupied that position during the first two years of the war, until his retirement from congress in 1863. His service was as the father of the homestead act, through which measure many million acres of western farm lands were opened up to settlement by homesteaders, an act which has been credited with doing more than any other one thing for the development of the great west, as the survival medicine he of the family of six children. He was never married.

"And you will try to remember that you need plenty of clean collars, so you needn't go about looking as if you and no wife to see to you?" "Yes, my dear," said Mr. Morse, as he turned to take up his bag. "And, James," said Mrs. Morse, tearfully, "do you suppose you will think of me every day while you are gone and I am here at home?" "My dear," responded Mr. Morse, with his mind on catching the train, "I will certainly make a memorandum d do so." BLOOD GETS SOUR. Every Family Should Make Up This Home Mixture and Take Now. At this time of year, says a well-known authority, the Kidneys become clogged, and inactive, falling to filter out the poisons and acids, which sour the blood, causing not only facial and bodily eruptions, but the worst forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and Stomach troubles, Backache and painful, annoying Urinary afflictions. It is worth anyone's time now to get from some good prescription pharmacy the following ingredients: Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce; Compound Kargonium; Compound $ ^{a} $ Caraparilla; three ounces. Mix by shaking well in a batot, take in teapoonful doses after your meals and at bedtime. This simple home-made mixture will force the Kidneys to normal, healthy action, so they will filter and strain all uric acid and poisonous waste matter from the blood, and expel this in the urine, at the same time restoring the "full blood count"—that is, 95 per cent. red blood corpuscles—which is absolutely indispensable to perfect health.

I was pale, thin and bloodless. My stomach distressed me being full of gas all time and my heart fluttered so that scarcely breathed. "Finally I had recommended Dr. Williams' Pills to me so I commanded us them. I gained in strength rapidly while the baby throve also. When expected my next child I started to lick the pills again as a ton of strength and again, such culty as better. I got up better as my strength came back much sooner.

I felt sick enough to go bed but did not do so. This last lasted for several months.

Correspondents take Notice. Notice.—To our correspondents and subscribers in general, for the last 8 or 10 months we bave been crowded for space for our news, owing to numerous correspmdents from the different towns of the middle west andthe muny new towns that are clamoring to have space in our paper, also the many worthy papers, essays and poems often sent for publication and with our limited space each week, that we cannot ac- comodate them all, in fact we have often left out the editorals and race echoes to accomodate our outside news gathers; but many of our readers like to have editorials to read each week, therefore we have decided that we will discontinue our regular correspondents where we bave less then ten actual subscribers; news can be sent from those points occasionally. We also ask our correspondents to condense each article and be brief with your letter. Whooping Cough.

SAY THAW IS SANE SAY THAW IS SANE JEROME DENIED RIGHT TO RE- VIEW PROCEEDINGS. DISTRICT ATTORNEY FIGHTS Will Carry Case to Appalate Divilor of the Supreme The finding of the lunacy commission was couched in the language of the order by Justice Fitzgerald order declared it to be their unanimous belief that "The defendant, Harry K Thaw, is capable of rightly understanding his case, of comprehending the nature of the charges against him and of rationally conferring with his counsel at the time of his examination." The entire report of the commission covers three typewritten pages and will not be made public. New York, April 5—The latest issue raised in connection with the case of the defendant before the appellate division of the supreme court. After an examination of authori ties and a study of the facts involved that continued from the hour that court adjourned yesterday, District Judge Robert A. Turner terminated to ask the higher court to review the action of Judge Fitzgerald who refused to give the prosecutor access to the minutes of the lunacy commission that earlier in the day had declared Thaw sane within the court. He was adjudicated by the court for his examination. Mr. Jerome will, it is claimed make his formal motion before a member of the appellate bench today or Saturday. Should he fail, the trial probably will be delayed Monday. It is the other hand the higher court enters his appeal, a stay of the trial until the court reaches a decision will be secured. This will mean an indefinite delay in the trial of the original issue. Should the higher court and the trial judge in error, the district attorney would require compliance with the requirements of the lunacy commission before he would be prepared to resume the trial. BIG STRIKE AVERTED Trailmen and Conductors Adjust Differences. Chicago, Ill., April 5—The differences between the western railroads and the members of the Order of Connectors and of the Brotherhood Railroad were adjusted yesterday. The men abandoned their demand for a nine hour work day, and the railroads made an advance over their previous propositions in the pay of bargage, the managers offered a month. The original demands of the men were, for an increase of 12 per cent and for a working day of nine hours. The managers offered an increase in pay of 10 per cent and defined the hours of work. The agreement was reached mainly through the efforts of Crainman Knapp of the interstate commerce commission and Commissioner of Railroad alliances formulated the final proposition on which both sides were brought together.

FIGURES OF A CROP IN WESTERN CANADA. How a Swan River Settler Has Succeeded. Benito, Manitoba, Nov. 26, 1906. At Swan River Valley, in May, 1900, a settler took up a homestead on Section 30, in Township 34, Range 29 West of the First Moridan, at that time, a 90 mile railway telegraph, school or church. There is now a railway within two miles of my farm, and all these other advantages close at hand. His story is: "After making my homestead entry fee of $10 I had $45.00 total (forty-five dollars) capital. Through doing homestead duties in slack times of the year, I managed to get a start. I am a married man of 28 years of age. "I built my first house, or shack, in 1880, and taking five acres in crop the first year. "This year, 1906, I had 80 acres in crop—65 acres in wheat, 20 acres of which yielded 850 bushels, or 42½ bushels per acre; 15 acres of oats, which yielded 855 bushels, and one stack of oats in sheep for feed. *Receipts for the year—* Sold 1,765 bus. of wheat for... $1,037.10 In granary, 110 bushels... 71.50 In granary, 355 bus. cats... 88.75 Garden roots and vegetables... 25.00 One stack of oats in sheaf... 50.00 Total... $1,272.35 *Expenses of year—* Blue stone for seed... $ 1.60 Paid for binder twine... 30.00 Paid for hired help... 120.00 Paid for threshing... 107.00 Total... $258.60 *Receipts...* $1,272.35 *Expenditures...* 258.60 160 acres of land valued at. $2,500.00 Frame house 20x26, valued at 600.00 Farm implements. 425.00 1 team horses and harness. 400.00 5 head young cattle. 75.00 2 hogs. 15.00 Receipts of this year's crop. 1,015.75 Total. $5,030.75 Liabilities.

New York's Rapid Growth The rapid growth of the nation's great metropolis is a source of national interest, and pride. Statisticians figure that the population of the city will exceed that of London by the year 1915, and will double in 25 years. The present generation will undoubtedly see in New York the world's greatest metropolis. Few persons realize that the population of New York is already one in 20 of the population of the entire United States, or that the growth of New York city in the century past has been five times more rapid than the growth of the whole country—Moody's Magazine. OLD CANNON CAN'T BE BROKEN. Armament of Old Craft Was Made to Last. A good story is being told at the Mare Island navy yard concerning a San Francisco contractor who bought all the old obsolete cannon which were sold at the local yard some time ago. The cannon were all of the smooth bore kind, and in order that they might be easily handled for shipment to the city all sorts of schemes were ried to endeavor to break them with dynamite and blasting powder, but they were unsuccessful. An electric drill machine was even set up at the yards and the cannon were drilled full of holes in order to weaken them for breaking open with wedge, but this was also unsuccessful. The cannon came to tear away and the last heard of them they were corralled in the hills near Point Richmond, where an effort was being made to break them open with dynamite again. The cannon which proved to be so strong were among the armament of the war craft which sailed the seas in 1812. A FRIENDLY GROCER. Dropped a Valuable Hint About Coffee. "For about eight years," writes a Mich. woman, "I suffered from nervousness—part of the time down in bed with nervous prostration. "Sometimes I would get numb and it would be almost impossible for me to speak for a spell. At others, I would have severe billions attacks, and my neck would be cramped, almost when I would walk fast or sweep. "I have taken enough medicine to start a small drug store, without any benefit. One evening our grocery was asking husband how I was and he urged that I quit coffee and use Postum, so he brought home a pkg. and I made it according to directions and we were both delighted with it. "So we quit coffee altogether and used only Postum. I began to get better in a month's time and look like an angel. The day we met my cheeks, I began to sleep well, my appetite was good and I commenced to take on flesh and become interested in everything about the house. "Finally I was able to do all my own work without the least sign of my old trouble. I am so thankful for the little book, 'The Road to Wellville.' It has done me so much good. I haven't done it so much good. I need for six months and don't need any. "A friend of ours who did not like Postum as she made it, like mine, and when she learned to boil it long enough, her's was as good as mine. It's easy if you follow directions."

Grump of Phoenix. Bishop Grant was then introduced, the remarks were mainly upon the progress made by the Negro since the civil war. The Bishop preached an able sermon Sunday night, the sermon was delivered to an appreciate audience of both white and colored. Monday at 12:00 Mrs. Payne had a dinner. Bishop Grant, Rev. Washington and wife being the guests of honor, Monday from 3:00 to 5:00 a reception was given in honor of Bishop Grant, by the auxiliaries of the church and Social Club, it was well attended, and every one left feeling well repaid for a few hours spent in a social manner. The Bishop formed many new acquaintances as well as many new ideas on the social and intellectual standard of the Negro in Phoenix. Monday night at the Hardwick Theatre Bishop Grant lectured on "The Three Things that Make up a Man's life." The lecture was a treat, both wit and eloquence were so combined to make the thoughts so clear, a child might grasp his meaning; each one who was present, can not fail to remember what he said in regard to the progress of the Negro since the war.

Through my advice many of my friends have tried it and can tell you how wonderfully it has worked.—Mrs. Sarah A. Cole, 140 S. New St., Dover, Del. Chamberlain's Pain Palm is a liniment.

Correspondents take Notice. Notice. -- To our correspondents and subscribers in general, for the last 8 or 10 months we have been crowded for space for our news, owing to numerous correspondents from the different towns of the middle west and the many new towns that are clamoring to have space in our paper, also the many worthy papers, essays and poems often sent for publication and with our limited space each week, that we cannot accommodate them all, in fact we have often left out the editorials and race echoes to accommodate our outside news gathers; but many of our readers like to have editorials to read each week, therefore we have decided that we will discontinue our regular correspondents where we have less then ten actual subscribers; news can be sent from those points occasionally. We also ask our correspondents to condense each article and be brief with your letter.
