To Whom it May Con: ero This is to certify that that I "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 Dax 4 Molnes, 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 Fairfield, 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 eye no matter what it is, remember it will cost you nothing to have him examine the eye 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 than 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 ask these things and I ask my friends to take this as a personal letter. Hopefully yours M.V. O. W. CATLIN. GETS A GOOD APPOINTMENT. President Theodore Roosevelt has just appointed Ralph W. T. Tyler of Coumbus, Ohio to be auditor of the navy department. This is a good position and we congratulate Mr. Tyler as he is a very deserving man, having been a Republican worker for the party for many years. It was rumored a month ago that he would be appointed surveyor of customs at Cincinnati to succeed Mr. Wm. Brown (white) but for some unknown political reason to us Mr. Tyler was sent to Washington, D. C. Ohio should feel honored as it has been a long time since the colored race of the Buckeye state was thus honored. Y. M. C. A. BUILDING. We have just received a pamphlet giving a cut of the proposed new Y. M. C. A. building for colored people at Washington, D. C. It was sent by our young friend, Lewis E. Johnson of Buxton, who is now in Washington conducting the great canvas for funds. Their war cry is $25,000 in 30 days, which closes May 7th. The proposed building is to be four stories and basement with modern plan for each department. The lot is located on Twelfth street N. W., is 63x155 feet It is a worthy enterprise, much needed in our national capital, and we urge our Iowa and western friends who are now in Washington, D. C. to donate libery lyan assist Mr. Johnson who is fine specimen of our race and he amplifies what can be made of our young men when under the influence of Y, M. C. A. Association. BUYING A HOME. It is seldom that we write on this great need of our race especially in America, for conditions often force our race to buy a home before they think they are ready. As we have had much experience we would urge our people wherever they may be to buy a piece of real estate. A little of this terra firma is a good thing to have. Then again we should commence buying while we are young, not wait until you are married or old. Buy a home, pay for it, then build and improve it as you get the necessary means is the successful way. Then again, be careful in selecting a home, select a good location, a nice laying piece of ground, don't buy a house with all modern improvements for often you pay very dear, and then there is but little increase in the value of the home to you. We commend the spirit of some of our people going out West to purchase their homes before it is too late to get land reasonable..

Carroll—After a running battle over a tier of counties in this part of the state sheriffs of two counties with their deputies succeeded in capturing two men wanted for the crime of hog stealing. Over one hundred shots were exchanged between the opposing forces and it is thought that the band of outlaws which has been terroiling northern towns has many monsters who have been taken up. Sheriff Hamilton received word from the sheriff of Gusthile county to locate parties who had stolen a team of horses and some hogs near Templeton. He joined the other officials near Templeton in the jail, where he was born. Harry Rosso, a suspect, was first taken and lodged in the jail at Gusthile Center. Returning to Templeton, the party divided their forces and surrounded the barn near the house of a farmer named Hamilton. The doors were open, and three others breaking away. Then the chase began. Bullets flew thick and fast as the outlaws and officers ran over the Gusthile hills. For an entire day the chase was continued, but the others finely got away.

He was sentenced to three years at Anamoss, and Silbert and Johnson are given sixty days each in the county jail. The light sentence is imposed because they were in a measure forced into the affair by Hollenhors, their superior officer, Hollenhors claims an insult to Jerry McLeary, the matter by superiors and blamed Jerry O'Leary of Des Moines, now under indictment, as the cause of his downfall. Judge Ransier said he could see nothing which entitled Hollors to clementey except his family. BANKER IS RELEASED. Judge Clyde Frees J. D. Barlow of Thornton Mason City—Citizens of Thornton are in a state of excitement over the fact that Judge J. F. Clyde of Qagea in the district court here has taken the case of J. D. Barlow, the banker, from the jury and released him. Barlow was arrested on the charge of embezzlement brought by George Myers who had a note in a Beloit, Wis. bank for $2,700. He had $1,900 on deposit in the Thornton bank and gave a check to Barlow, it is said, to the bank. The banker, the check, it is claimed, was never sent and that Barlow kept it.

During the afternoon he cashed several tickets, the result of good guesses. He was feeling happy after the last race, and started for the automobile which was to convey him back to his hotel. As he was about to climb into the machine he felt a hand on his arm, and a man shouted in his ear: "Hello, Hitchcock, how are you? Hear you put a crimp in the bookies to day." Hitchcock blushed and shock hands sheepishly, not recognizing the man, and not wishing to show it. "Say, I want to speak to you confidentially," said the stranger. identally," said the stranger. "All right; what is it?" asked the woman. "I am up against some hard luck to-day. They cleaned me and I want to get home. Now, don't let any one of these people see you, but slip me enough for car fare, will you?" "Sure," said Hitchcock, placing his in pocket. Then he paused and querted: "Where do you live?" Hitchcock took a flying leap for his machine, and unless the visitors at New Orleans are more gullible, the impunctuous one is still looking for car fare.—Harper's Weekly.

Philipotts has made us familiar with romantic Devonshire, in his fascinating romance, The River, Children of the Mist; the Mist, Children of the Human; the people there drink coffee with the same results as elsewhere. A writer at Rock House, Orchard Hill, Bideford, North Devon, states: "For 30 years I drank coffee for breakfast and dinner but some 5 years ago I found that it was producing indulgence. And as a was making me restless at night, my symptoms were followed by brain fag and a sluggish mental condition. "When I realised this, I made up my mind to quit drinking coffee and having road to Postum, I concluded to try it. I had it carefully made, according to directions, and found to my greecie surprise at the end of a journey, that I had to either indigestion, heart-burn, or brunge fag, and that I could drink it at night and secure restful and refreshing sleep. "Since that time we have entirely discontinued the use of the old kind of coffee, growing fonder and fonder of Postum as time goes on. My digestive system has worked much better now than before, and I resultd to Postum Food, Coffee, I am satisfied. "As a table beverage we find (for all the members of my family use it) that when properly made it is most refreshing and agreeable, of delicious flavor and aroma. Vigilance is, however, the key to success, unless the servants are watched the thouling which it must have in order to extract the goodness from the cereal."

William Lyon Phleps of Yale recently told this story at New Havens' chamber of commerce banquet: A hard drinker was told by his doctor that he could be cured if every time he felt that he must have a drink he would immediately take something to eat instead. The man followed the advice and was cured, but the habit of asking for food had become so fixed with him that once he was nearly locked up as a lunatic. He was stopping at a hotel and, hearing a great commotion in the room next to his, he peeped over the transom to see what the matter was. He gave a warning, madly down to the clerk; "The man in 153 has shot himself! Ham and egg sandwich, please!"—Lippincott's. BABY WASTED TO SKELETON.

At the end of the week a year and a half of suffusion the grew so bad I had to tie his hands in cloths at night to keep him from scratching the sores and tearing the flesh. He got to be a mere skeleton and was hardly able to walk. I sent to the drug store and got a cake of Cuticura Soap and a box of Cuticura Ointment, and at the end of about two months the sores were all well. He has never had any sores of any since, and only for the Cuticura Remedies my child would have freed from these terrible sores. I used only one box of Soap and about three boxes of Ointment.

A laborer named Bedasne, living at Ymvillein, in the Eure at Loir, went to Melun with two pounds in his pocket. Having spent this in Iquor, he conceived the idea of getting on to Paris for nothing. Finding an empty third-class compartment, he fastened a flannel belt around his neck, pitched a handkerchief into his mouth, pitched his empty purse onto the opposite seat and, lying down, first had a sleep and then, when Paris was reached, he pulled to give any sign of he will the alarmed station staff poured a cordial into his mouth.

I was severely conditioned, and my nerves all unrising. "I was advised by a friend to try Perunia, her personal assistant, a bottle, I took it and then another, and kept using it for three months. "At the end of that time my health was restored, my nerves no longer troubled, and I was more move and able to assume my social position. I certainly feel that Perunia is deserving of praise.

It has always treated the tame and domesticated, never having anything of the wild Mie of its kind, but because the promises unrestrained, having its place in the stable on cold nights.

RELIABLE REPORTS OOME FROM SOEENE OF EARTHQUAKE. Presence of Sulphurous Vapor Gives Rise to The Theory of Subterranean City of Mexico, April 19 — Yesterday The Associated Press was in direct communication with a number of towns situated in the district most affected by the recent earthquake. From these recent telegrams it is now certain that the death list will be exceed one hundred. There are a number of small towns yet to be heard from, but up to date the average number of fatalities at these places was from nine to 12 and the number of the victims to forty. By an error made in the transmission of a telegram yesterday from the city of Chilapa, in the state of Guer ro, which was almost totally destroyed, the telegram had been read that thirty-three bodies had been taken from the rulers and 779 injured had been transferred to the hospital. Later the telegram was corrected to read that thirty-three persons were injured and 797 buildings destroyed. which has just been phenomenon which has just been made known in connection with the shock is that the air was filled for many miles with a thick, slickening sulphurous odor. caused great distress to the survivors. and the tensions as to the cause of the peculiar freak of nature and some consider it a proof that the earthquake had its origin in some subterranean explosion. For this reason considerate plans were made to be delivered from the sections surrounding the active volcanoes of Colima and Jurrello. A big movement is under way in the country of Mexico to furnish relief to those who are less and destitute in Guerrero, and already plans are being made for the gathering of substantial sums for the sufferers. Vice President Corral, during the necessity of liberal subscriptions for fund, thus summarizes the situation: "As a result of the seismic movement on the night of the 14th inst., those that subsequently followed, nearly all, were in ruins, especially the cities of Chilpancingo, Chilpa, Tixita, Ayutla and Acapulco. The calamities consist not only in loss property, which was considered as totally destroyed, according to latest telegraphs that we are receiving from the cities and towns above mentioned, but also a considerable number of maimed and injured." DEADLOCK IN WISCONSIN. Unable to Choose Successor to Spooner. Madison, Wils. April 19—Three ballots were taken at the republican senatorial caucus last night without material change in the voting strength of any of the candidates. The result of the last vote was as follows: Cooper 19, Esch 18, Hatt 16, Stephenson 19, Baech 5, Winkler 3, Hudnall 1, Wheathen 1. Madison, Wis., April 13.—A deadlock exists in the contest for the seat in the United State Senate occasioned by the resignation of Senator John C. Spooner. After the holding of several cancuses by the republican mem- bers, the Senate passed a majority, and the taking of two formal ballots in joint session, there appears to be no sign of an election in the near future. There are ten candidates in the race, five of whom lead with about an equal number of votes, and seven of whom are berman of Marinette, and who has been a staunch supporter of United States Senator Robert M. LaFollette, both on state and national issues, in yesterday's joint ballot showed a strength of 19 votes, being tied with Congressman John L. Esch of LaFollette, both on state and national issues, in a superior, former speaker of the assembly and also a strong adherent of LaFollette, received 18 votes, as did also Congressman H. A. Cooper of Racine. William H. Hatten of New London came with 15 to the seat and F. Winkler of Milwaukee, both so-called stalwarts, received 6 and 3 votes, respectively, with the remaining republican votes scattering. The democratic votes, 24 in number, have thus far been cast for George W. Bird of Madison, while the social democrats, John C. Spooner and semblyman J. P. Rummel of Milwaukee. Mr. Stephenson, at the outset of the contest, issued a statement declaring that he was a candidate only for the unexpired term and would not be selected in case the honor was recorded him. Several conferences were held with Senator LaFollette while he was in Madison at different times lately in the interest of Stephenson, but it appears that not enough strength could be acquired to be a man and Friends of Congressman Esch Cooper are standing by their candidates without any indication of a break. THAW JUROR APPROACHED. New York, April 19—It was an announced yesterday that the district attorney had begun the investigation of a report that one of the jurors in the recent trial of Harry K.

Later it was announced that several other of the Thaw jurors would be asked to come to the disheath of the court to look for anything, what they know of the report in question. It was reported that a policeman talked with a juror on one of the walks the jury took from the criminal court building to the Broadway Central hotel. In M.

The Way in Which a Swan River Farmer Became Wealthy. Swan River, Manitoba, Nov. 21, 1906. Two weeks ago we gave an account of the prosperity of a farmer in Wester Canada, and this week we reproduce an account. I have been asked regarding this year's work on my farm, and I herewith willingly submit the following statement: "Three years ago I purchased an improved farm of 186 acres on Section 9, Township 36, Range 27 west of the First Meridian—two miles from the town of Swan River. I plowed and cropped 122½ acres of land during this year (1906), 80 acres in wheat, 80 acres in oats, and 12½ acres in corn. The cost of putting in and taking off this crop this season is as follows: Cash paid for blue stone... $ 1.50 Cash paid for binder twine... $ 9.00 Cash paid for hired help... 125.00 Cash paid for threading... 175.00 Total ..... $ 340.00 "Receipts for the year as follows" 80 acres of wheat (yielded 30 bushels per acre)—Total, 2,400 bu. 30 acres of oats (yielded 48 bushels per acre)—Total, 1,200 " 1 stack of oats in sheaf. ..... 200 " 12½ acres barley (48 bu. per acre) ..... 600 " Crop potatoes ..... 300 " Hay, tons ..... 15 Bird .....

A $40,000 TREASURY ROBBERY. Clever Work of Detective Revealed the Thief. The robbery of the sub-treasury in Chicago recalls the fact that the treasury department in Washington was the victim of a 400,000 theft about 30 years ago. At first, although no reasonable explanation of how the thing could have been done by an outsider could be given, it was assumed that it was the work of some one unconnected with the office in which the robbery occurred. It was not long, however, before a clever detective became acquainted with the fact that one of the clerks who might have had access to the bundle of bills was acquainted with a professional gambler of shady antecedents. That discovery solved the problem. A little pattern watching resulted in the theft of stolen notes, and the rest was easy. The clerk was arrested, and, while in confinement, was given to understand that he was betrayed, whereupon he confessed the robbery, which was accomplished by showing the package of notes, all of large denominations, into a position where they could be "snaked up" with a cane provided with a hook. SPLENDID APRIL TONIC. Easily Prepared at Home and Harm- less to Use. This is known as "Blood-Cleaning Time," especially among the older folks, who always take something during this month to clean the blood of impurities and build it up. The following is the recipe as given by a well-known authority, and anyone can prepare it at home: Fluid Extract Dandelion one-half ounce, Compound Kargon one ounce, Compound Syrup Saraparilla three ounces.

In Brazil there is a large ant which is regarded by the natives as good to eat, when roasted—a delicacy as choice, indeed, as snails are rated by the French. Sometimes they dress the tiny creatures up like little dolls, and put them in boxes to sell to tourists as a Brazilian curiosity. People seldom improve when they have no other model but themselves to copy—Goldamith. A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. How a Veteran Was Saved the Ampu- tation of a Limb. B. Frank Doremus, veteran, of Roccevallia avenue, Indianapolis, Ind. says: "I had been showing symptoms of kidney trouble from the time I was mistreated out of the army, but in all my life I never suffered as in 1587. Headaches, dizziness and sleeplessness, first, and then dropy. I was weak and helpless, having run down from 180 to 125 pounds. I was down having terrible pain in the kidneys, and the secretions passed almost involuntarily. My left leg swelled until it was 34 inches around, and the doctor tapped it night and morning until I could no longer stand it, and then he advised amputation. I refused, and began using Doan's Kidney Pills. The swelling subsided gradually, the urine became natural, and my pains and aches disappeared.

"Ah, they are about to put some powder in their guns?" "No; they are about to put some powder on their noses. Just because they are warriors is no reason why they should be any different from other women." And then there was a moving-picture scene of animated puffs and fashing hand mirrors.

A Woman Tells How to Relieve Rheumatic Pain. 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 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. 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. IOWA CITY NOTES. Mr. Wilson Patterson of Patterson of Davenport was in town a few days this week visiting his father and other relatives, he is now employed by the C. B. L. P. Ry, and runs from Davenport to Kansas City on dinning car. J. Milton Thompson was in Des Moines last week. James Gentley formerly of Des Moines but more recently of Enterprise is now assisting Mr. Henry Moore with his temporal duties. Miss Elinora Jones a niece of W. W. Patterson is visiting in this city and expects to spend part of the summer here. From the condition of the weather for the past week it seems as though spring has come at last. Rev. Vincent of Otumwa came up from that place last Sunday, he will enter the academy to make preparation for entering the University we are glad to see our young men making preparation for securing a college education. Mrs. Mattie Dameron has been removed from the hospital to her home and is convalescent. Mr. L. C. Jones a senior in the college department, delivered an address at the A. M. E. church last Sunday and he gave some facts with reference to the progress of our race that was very encouraging and also gave some suggestion more especially to the people of this city what they might do that would not only help themselves but the race as well and he impressed them with the idea that they should do more reading and especially the book, magazines, papera published by Afro-Americans. Among his final sentences were "if you cannot assist in construction do not assist in destruction" and we might add that time is to precious to bother with "knockera" so if you are one just as well stop as the progress of our race is going forward in a continuous and permanent way and you who do not assist in helping a good cause is not true to your race yourself or friends.

Privileges of Lady Mayoress. Among the numerous privileges enjoyed by the lady mayoress of London during her husband's year of office is that of "entree" at court. That is to say, instead of being compelled to take her place among the ordinary guests, titled and unittied, at court functions, she enters the palace by a separate entrance and is received by royalty before any of the other guests. Old furniture collectors in this city have lately been driving prices higher and higher. The rage for Chippendale and Sheraton patterns of the finer lines is greater than ever. Chairs especially fetch astonishing prices. Even dealers are paying in some cases as much as $50 for a single Chippendale chair of rare pattern, though it be out of repair. A collector in this city paid the other day $775 for a Chippendale armchair. Chairs of less unusual pattern are sold every day for $40, $50 and $108—New York letter.
