NEGRO INVENTOR HERE There arrived in our city, last Sunday morning, the inventor and patentee of one of the most wonderful inventions of this age of great inventions in the person of Mr C S L Baker, Mr. Baker is the inventor and patentee of the Friction Heater and the Super-Heating Union. He hold the controlling interests in the Friction Heater Company capitalized at $125,000 and the Baker Revolutionizing Super-Heating Molecules Union Developing company Capital $150,000 both fully paid and non-saleable. Mr. Baker was to have demonstrated the efficiency of his invention on the street cars of our city last January but owing to the rush of business the company is now doing he was unable to come here last January, he shipped one of his Friction Heaters here about January 1st and it was to look it on, preparatory to shipping it with a cartoid of other Heaters and apparatus from St. Joe to the James town Exposition, where he will exhibit his marvelous invention. He is to operate a coffee-stand where he will serve coffee made by his friction heater; he will give a button souvenir with each cup of coffee sold, he has employed 22 girls to serve coffee during the expiration. He will leave St Joseph, Mo, for Jamestown, Tuesday April 16th, and promised to either come himself, or send Mr. Coleman, one of his assistants to Des Moines, sometime next fall to make a public demonstration, at a small admission fee, the proceeds of which will go to some Negro church or churches here. Mr Baker is a quite unassuming man, forty five years old and well preserved, he is thoroughly conscious of the commercial value of his invention a fact of which we are proud, as usual invasive genius and business ability are foreign to one man, Mr. Baker says he finds more doubt among his own people as to the efficiency of his Heater, than he does among scientific men and capitalists. He has simply applied the principles of science in an unthought of way and has obtained results that are almost unbelievable, he can with his invention, heat a railway passenger coach without using an ounce of fuel, obtaining the motive power necessary to run his Friction Heater from the revolutions of the axle of the trucks beneath the coach; he can go into a new building when $5,000 and $6,000 worth of steam pipes are required and by using only 89 feet of pipe, heat the building with his Friction Heater. Mr. Baker has 5,000 shares of stock that he will offer for sale at the Jamestown Exposition, the price of the stock is $30.00 per share. The Friction Heater Company is expecting to place some of its heaters here in the near future, probably this fall, if so it will employ at least ten men to look after installing heaters and collecting rentals. Mr. Baker is a distant relative of Mr. J.C. Williams, junior of Cooper School LOOKING WELL Thus writes Rev. O. W. Gatlin, Pella Iowa, Pella, Is. August 10, 1905. To Whom it May Coner: 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 like a pair of glasses; it may man 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.

It takes several rehearsals to make a girl letter perfect in the little game of mativimony. The first time a girl falls is love all she knows about a man is that he is a good waltor and wears proper collars, that he hair curls at the edges, and that he doesn't tread on her frocks - Helen Rowland's "Digressions, of Polly." Iowa State Bystander Deterioration of the Mastiff. Some breeds there are that have been driven into obscurity by the unbridled craving of breeders for particular properties. Most lamentable of these is the case of the mastiff who 15 or 20 years ago, was the king of the heavy brigade. Size and massive heads became the alpha and omega of the breeders. Increase in size resulted in lumbering, overloaded apathetics, that could not get out of their own way, and only by an effort could sup port their calf carcasses on sprawling kicks and spiny feet, says R. F. Mayhey, in Everybody's Magazine. And in the intensity of desire to produce massive heads, the hither end of the wretched animal was forgotten, and paralyzed or semiparalyzed hindquarters were the result. Hence, the downfall of the mastiff and, in a measure, of the St. Bernard. Their form, position in the dog world is now occupied by the Great Dane, the deerbound and the Russian wolfhound. The Homemaker It must be taken into consideration that every successful housemaker is necessarily a housekeeper—one who keeps the house in the hollow of her hand, so to speak. One whose eye guards every detail of expenditure; one whose heart and mind are centered in the beautifying, guidance and maintenance of her stronghold. It would be foolish to insist that every housekeeper possess the rare and beautiful gift of creating and evolving a home, says Margaret Anglin in Pictorial Review. The housekeeper works for her wages, oftentimes grudgingly; the homemaker takes up her daily tasks with inspiration. Her labor is performed with love; and as I believe some poet has remarked, even the sweeping of a room may become a beautiful action. Indoor life, with the numerous artificial and unwholesome conditions which it imposes, is a powerful factor in lowering the vitality, diminishing the power to resist disease and in maintaining a continual contact with conditions productive of disease. Monkeys and most other wild animals deteriorate rapidly in captivity because of the deprivation of the fresh air and sunshine to which they are naturally adapted. Civilized women are almost compelled to live sedentary lives. This fact, declares a writer in Good Health, accounts in large degree for the almost universal invalidism among women. Mexico is prosperous under the gold standard. The republic's fiscal receipts ($50,288,000 United States currency) for the year ended June 30, 1996, were far in excess of other years and much beyond what was expected even by the most optimistic economists. El imparcial, a local newspaper, says the income 11 years ago was only $25.140,000 United States currency, and concludes that the decided advance to $50,000,000 is due to careful financing. The gradual growth in the fiscal receipts during the last 11 years is the outcome of increased business prosperity and rot of increased taxation. Prince Henry of the Netherlands, husband of the queen, proved his humanity and his courage when the steamer Berlin was wrecked off the Hook of Holland last month. He learned that some passengers were left on the vessel, and took command of the rescue party which finally brought them off. When he came ashore with them he was cheered to the echo by the enthusiastic Dutch men gathered on the beach. King Edward has bestowed on him the Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath in recognition of his bravery. The men and women who perish miserably in train wrecks have the consolation of knowing that they do not die in vain. They suggest safe modes of construction and running methods. They may not, it is true, appreciate the fact that they are public benefactors and may be selfish enough to prefer their lives to the glory of martyrdom, but still, human progress must have martyrs, and if there are not sufficient volunteers there must be conscripts to the cause. There is a report that a serious revolt has broken out in the state of Tachira, in the western part of Venezuela. And somehow nobody who has kept track of Castro's doings is very much surprised at the news. Here is what a Missouri paper says: "After many days of days desiccation the vaporing captains marshaled their thundering hosts and poured out upon the incarcerated vegetation a few inches of aqua pluvials." In this instance, Missouri will have to show us. General Booth of the Salvation army makes the announcement that he is willing to receive all tainted money which may be offered. He thinks he knows of a way to remove the taints, and he probably does. The imports of goatskins amounted to $32,500,000 of which India contributed nearly $11,000,000 worth, France $2,000,000, China $1,125,000, and, besides, the United Kingdom, Brazil, Argentina, Arabia and Russia, each sent more than $1,000,000 worth. As Jon gas both sides are wiping battles in South America it seems a pity to stop the fight. It appears more likely that they keep them alive. - NEW LAWS OF IOWA RESUME OF THE WORK OF THE IOWA LEGISLATURE.

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a doctor's prescription, used by an eminent practitioner, and for nearly a generation known as a reliable household remedy throughout the United States.

Added to this is the absolute world. Added to this is the absolute world that the pills contain no harmful drug opiate, narcotic or stimulant. A evidence of their efficacy is found in the statement of Mrs. N. B. Whitley, of Boxley, Ark., who says, "I have good many years from stomach trouble. For a long time I was subject to bad spells of fatigue and lack of breath accompanied by an indiscribable feeling that seemed to start in my stomach. Whenever I was sick, these spells would come on. They occurred frequently but did not last very long. "I was confined to my bed for two weeks one time and the doctor pronounced my trouble chronic inflammation. That time I have been subject to fainting spells and at other times to fainting of the heart and a feeling of though I was smothering. My general health was very bad and I was weak and crumbling. I went to Dr. Williams' Pink Pill mentioned in the newspapers and decided to try them. When I began taking the pills I was so run-down in strength that I could hardly do any housework. Now I could walk ten miles if necessary. Dr. Williams' Pink Pill and myself think Dr. Williams' Pink Pill made me and we always recommended the pills to our friends."

FOR THIRTY CRIMES Frank Wedley and Wife Held at Davenport. BURNS CROSS ON FOREHEAD. Cskaloosta Man Outdoors Mediava "FlameJunta." Davenport—in the arrest of Frank Wedley, the colored burglar, and his wife, Leona Wedley, the Davenport police effected the capture of two of the most successful and notorious burglar known in Iowa for years. Attired in men's clothing, Mrs Wedley aided her husband in his work and together they are known to have entered at least thirty houses in this city, including a number of the wealthiest families in Davenport. In a satchel carried by Mrs. Wedley were found a revolver, black-lack and flash light. Wedley, when arrested, had a revolver in each of his hip pockets and over $400 worth of jewelry and silverware poured into an unrecognizable mass, which he offered for sale at a manufacturing jewelry establishment here. Wedley had on two previous occasions sold stuff to the same firm. The bulk of this plunder was stolen at Ottumwa, where Wedley and his wife also shipped it by express to the point and had disposed of. Just what the couple did with the large amount of plunder they secured as a result of their robberies here is not known, but it is a certainty that they immediately shipped it away to some distant point for disposal. One of the homes robbed in Ottumwa is that of Charles Walsh, democratic national committeeman from Iowa. The Wedleys are as fine a looking couple representing the colored race as could be found anywhere. They are of the mulatto stripe and dressed in white, with gold and diamond when arrested and when the house occupied by them in this city was searched to $1,000 worth of silks, satins, lace, jewelry, silverware, etc. were found. All the women were wearing watches, chains, table silverware, souvenir spoons, etc. had been mutilated beyond recognition. WOMAN SOBS ON STAND Famous Sporge Trial is Begun In Davenport.

Her husband died soon after the offending sponge was pulled from his body, and she received a certificate that it caused his death. The defendants to the suit are Drs. A. L. Hagebock, J. T. Haller and J. B. Wayhaus, and the medical and legal professions are lined up on the two sides of the case here, for the hottest sight in the history of the district. The defendants charge that Drs. Henry and Carl Matthey, if they found the sponge as described, had themselves left it in Arp's body at an operation they had performed on him. GIRL'S BURNS PROVE FATAL.

Oskaloosa—As a mark of his own sincerity in his belief Dr. Paul Bettix, until the 6th professor of Greek in Central Holiness university, has burned a cross an inch and one-half long and three-quarters of an inch wide on his forehead. The tortures which the flagellants of the middle ages inflicted on themselves, the sufferings of the old crusaders, whom Bettix would imitate in large degree, can have been no worse than the agony endured without a sign of suffering by the ousted professor, as the acid ate into the living flesh. Moreover, this, says Bettix, is but the beginning. All his followers new crusade must mark themselves as have cone "With the sign of the cross." He, himself, explains his relation with the Central Holiness university in the statement, "My resignation was given me today, and I am going to work with you." The great work to which I am called. Bettix was discharged as a result of his self-mutilation and because of the sermon which he preached on March 31, of which the following is: "Brethren, in the name of King Jesus, unfurl today the standard of Christ's own volunteers for the crucise of the twentieth century (or, I, gopee to every creature; I gopee to every postolic consecration; 4. On faith.) "I call for 144,000 apostolic men to evangelize every living soul of our race within the next few years. One of the apostolic souls is devoted to souls. Needed at once, 3,000 apostolic volunteers for South America, 40,000 for China, 33,000 for India, 15,000 for Africa, 12,000 for Russia, etc., to go without scripture nor purse, on the basis of the sermon down in Matthew 10 and Rev. 14, 17. "The mark of our apostolic covenant is the Sign of the Cross indelibly marked on our forehead: (ref. Rev. 14: 1-7, which gives Goel's own testimony by liberal Christ following)." "Now let devils, sinners and professors do their worst, and let us see which side God is on. The war is on. God is on. Halleujah Yours in the Holy War." BLOW FOR LIQUOR MEN Supreme Court Turns Burden of Proof on Them Des Molles—Druggists and saloon-keepers who sell liquor to habitual drunkards may be easily mulled for damages by injured relatives, according to a supreme court decision handed down in a Clay county case. Bistline-Hill, a Clay county family committee, suicides after having become intoxicated on liquors secured from Ney Brothers, druggists at Webb, in that county, according to the claims of the widow, who brought suit for damages against her husband, presided over the trial of the case, ruled that the burden of the proof that Bistline killed himself as the result of his intoxication and not from the murder, but the supreme court reverses this ruling and orders a retrial of the case. "The statute creates a new right of action and to sustain such the injured person is not required to establish all the elements of an injury actionable under the statute, and to give an opinion on the case." "The statute indulges in the reasonable presumption that an act done to the injury of his family by a person whose faculties are abnormally excited can be punished." "The act of a character not ordinarily to be expected from a sane and sober person, is the result of intoxication." It is insisted by the supreme court that the seller of incidences must "personally know" the buyer is not addicted to the liquor habit should be strictly enforced. "If the seller does not know he can refuse to sell," says the opinion, "the seller should know, it is an election on this part to take the chances." WILLOUGHBY ESCAPES.

CARE OF THE SICK ROOM. Above All Things the Walls Should Be Kept Dry. When the bedroom becomes a sick room there is an added reason why extreme precautions should be used to keep the room in a thoroughly sanitary condition. Above all things, the bedroom should never be damp. It should be nice and dry always warm and comfortable in winter, cool and airy in summer, and bright and sunny some parts of the day. If there is any anisolcion of dampness in a bedroom it is probably due, if there is wallpaper on the wall, to the absorption of water by the paper which frequently acts as a blotting paper and holds quantities of water in it. The use of wallpaper on walls is to be depleted. It means disease, ill health and unhappiness. It is frequently the cause of lung trouble, not only because of its dampness but also because of its power to retain infection of many kinds. The desired method of treating a bedroom wall is to tint it for the alabastined wall is a perfect wall. It never flakes off, chips or peels. It absorbs moisture and expels it, it opens the pores of the plaster and makes a room livable and breathable. It floor in the bedroom should have light shades and durable rugs that can be easily shaken and a floor that is thoroughly oiled or varnished, that will not absorb moisture. The cracks in the floor should be thoroughly filled and covered. Woodwork in the bedroom should be attended to carefully, window sills should be thoroughly varnished or waxed, and the window casings kept in perfect order. The doors should be wiped off frequently as also the window sills. In the bedroom, as the presence of dust on woodwork is a menace to health as well as an evidence of poor housekeeping. Parisian Champions Barmaids. The Paris Matin says, apropos of the proposal to abolish the British barmaid: "One must have lived through a dull winter's night on the shores of the Thames; one must have looked in the laughing eyes of some waitress for a reflection of the absent blue sky, in order to understand all the horror of the proposal to replace charming barmaids by men."

Work in the hop fields is the latest "rest cure" fad for London's smart set, and the luxurious society "hoppers" claim that a week's hopping is far better and more pleasant than a rest at any well-known health resort.

Many times did the German emperor press the title of prince upon Herr Von Bulow before the latter would accept. The statesman wanted the title, but could not afford to live up to it. Of this the kaiser knew nothing, of course. At length, about 18 months ago, a relative of Von Bulow died, leaving him $1,350,000. A few days later, he showed the kaiser a note, notices that he was not tune. The monarch grunted, "So that was the reason—my prince," he said, yaying stress on the title.

TO THE COLORED WOMEN CLUBS OF IOWA, GREEKINGS:— The time draws near for the State meeting of the Iowa Federation; it will take perservance and vim to push the work of the various departments to the front. We do not want to be like the school boy, cram at the last moment, thereby failing to do any good, but circumstances alter cases. The chairman of the child's study committee has been changed causing a delay in getting the work before the clubs as there is such little time; the chairman urges each club to take the otline from the Bystander and use it, as she will not have the time to write each club upon the matter. Each club can at least hold three mother's meetings before Federation and leave a deep impression for good in your meetings; draw out the mother's mind, note how she feels about her child, discuss the various points in a child's make up and what it takes to formulate good character. Use the question box in preference to writing papers, it will bring out good ideas from those present. At your mother's meetings always keep in mind the object of the meeting, to benefit mother and child. 1st, Discuss Sunday amusements for children. 2nd, Is the funny sheet of the Sunday paper beneficial to children? 3rd, What is the relation of between parents and their children outside of the parental love? 4th, Privileges of childhood. Clubs, do what you can with these four questions, get as much good out of them as possible. If there are any questions relating to this matter write at once and the chairman will cheerfully answer them to the best of her ability. A. M. Boyd, Chairman. 716 17th avenue E, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A Woman Tells How to Relleve Rheumatic Pains. I have been a very great suffer from the dreadful disease, rheumatism, for a number of years. I have tried many medicines but never got much relief from any of them until two years ago. when I bought a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Palm. I found relief before I used all of one bottle, but kept on applying it and soon felt like a different woman. Through my advice many of my friends have tried and can tell you how wonderfully it has worked — Mr. Sarah A. Cole, 140 S. New St., Dover, Del. Chamberlain's Pain Palm is a liniment. The relief from pain which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. It makes rest and sleep possible. For sale by all druggists. ALBIA NEWS.

In three weeks the rheumatism had disappeared and has not since returned." If troubled with rheumatism try a few applications of Pain Balm.

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 editors and race echoes to accommodate our outside news gathers; but many of our readers like to have editors 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. Whooping Cough.
