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 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 Fairfied, 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 Low Aratz'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. There are always two parties to a contract, and yet in a majority of cases but one is expected to carry it out. "I am now 20 years old, and not until about eight months ago was I able to read ordinary print. When I was 5 years old I had the messages, which I see eyes almost every day. I was a little nervous, but I could not be cooled until I heard of Dr. Lew Arnts, of Des Moines, Iowa, whom I consulted, and had to fit my eye with glasses, which have brought out perfect sight. I can now see clearly. I have been taught to read and to parents tried, all kinds of remedies for me when I was a child, but at last gave up in my own mind. Nothing could be done, as my eyes contained practically no sight. What I must remember I had no chance to get an education because I could not see to read. I had not been consulted ten years ago I might be attended school like other children: Walker Oxfords Fit There is no slipping at the heels, gaping at the sides, or cramping of the toes as in most Oxfords.

Frissell Made Trustees to Arrange Work. Philadelphia, April 23.—A gift of $1,000,000 for the establishment of a fund for rudimentary schools for southern Negroes was announced here to-night. The donor is Miss Anna T. Jeanes, a Quakeress of this city. Booker T. Washington, head of Tuskegee Institute, and Hollis B. Frissell, President of the Hampton Normal and Industrial Insitute are named as trustees of the fund, but neither of the institutions they represent will share in the gift. The income of the million dollars is to be use for the so'e purpose of assisting the "southern United States community, country and rural schools for the great class of Negroes to whom the small rural and community schools are alone available." The deed of gift was executed yesterday and in it Mr. Washington and Mr. Frissell are empowered to appoint a board of trustees in connection with the fund. The Pennsylvania Company for Insurances on Lives and Granting Annuties of this city will act as fiscal agent for the trustees. Donor Long Negroes' Friend. Miss Jeanes, the donor is about 80 years of age, and comes from an old and wealthy family that has been prominent for more than a century in the Society of Friends. She has long been interested in the welfare of Negroes and has been a contributor to institutions for their education. She has known Mr Washington for a decade.

The American people, especially our leaders and newspapers, are attempting to select the probably standard bearers for the two great parties for the next year. While it is a little early to indulge in such early speculation, yet the colored man ought to discuss the available material who would likely be the best man for them. The Democrats seem to have but two stars now and they are Wm. J. Bryan and editor Hurst of New York. Of the ideas and character of these two statesmen we would prefer the former, yet there is so little good in democracy for the Negro will not mention those now. In the Republican party we have the names of Hon. Wm Taft of Ohio, Secretary of War; Hon. Chas. S. Fairbanks of Indiana, Vice President; Hon. Joseph Gannon of Illinois, Speaker of House; Hon. H. H. Hughes of New York, Governor; Hon. Albert B. Cummins of Iowa, Hon. Robert M. LaFallett of Wisconsin, United States Senator and Hon. Joseph B Foraker of Ohio, United States Senator. There seems to be many favorite sons. Secretary Taft seems to be broad minded and progressive; while Fairbanks is more conservative or standpat; Speaker Cannon will not be in the race very long; Hughes is not sufficiently well known to develop much strength. Governor Cummins is our choice and would make an ideal mau. Age, qualification and location makes him a formidable candidate; for the middle west must be recognized. Senator LaFollett is a strong man and Senator Foraker would make a great president, especially for justice and fair play, and is the only old soldier candidate. EUREKAI Yes, IHave Found it at Last.

The medical inspection of school children—a subject now provoking general discussion in this country, and particularly in this city—is the topic of a book recently published in London, "The Health of the School Child," by Dr. W. Leslie Mackenzie. H. notes that in England, as in certain countries on the continent (and here also, we may add), the physical examination of children is "no longer a question of doubtful politics"; it has "passed into the region of administration." A point of great practical interest which he brings out is that, by a little cooperation among the teachers, the amount of work thrown on the doctors and the consequent cost of the inspection may be considerably lightened. Dr. Kerr, for example, of the London county council, "found that, with a little care, the teachers were able to find out almost all the children that suffered from any defects." This testimony will not surprise casual and unofficial school visitors—among whom we reckon ourselves—who are often amazed at the indifference of teachers to defects of sight or hearing that are a manifest handicap to pupils. Boys and girls who are half-blind or deaf will move slowly from grade to grade, without a word of warning to parent or guardian from the observant teacher. We hope that the growing attention to this matter will, even where there is no formal medical inspection, quicken teachers to a duty that is too often neglected. How intensely practical and sensible is much of the modern missionary work is shown by Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, the medical missionary of the Labrador coast. In a recent address descriptive of his work he said, "We paid more attention to benefiting the poverty-ridden people by aliding in their physical welfare than by preaching and prayer. We established hospitals to care for the sick, opened stores where clothing and food and tobacco could be obtained at a lower price and of a better quality than in the regular stores. We helped to teach the fishermen more about their business of fishing and the conditions under which they lived, and how they could better the conditions; and by so doing we accomplished a greater good than might have been wrought by a host of preaching and praying missionaries who ignore men's bodies in the cure of their souls." An American clergyman who has recently returned from Venezuela reports that soon after he reached Caracas he was arrested on the charge of violating a law which forbids clergymen to enter the country. Through the intercession of the American consul he was released on the promise that he would leave within seven days. The reason for excluding clergymen is not evident, for ministers of the gospel are rarely inciters of revolution, at home or abroad. Women in Great Britain are well represented in the professions and trades, and about 4,500,000 earn their own living. There are 124,000 who teach; 10,000 are bookbinders; over 3,000 are printers, and nearly 500 are editors and compilers; 1,300 are engaged in photography; civil service clerks number nearly 2,300; 3,800 are engaged in medical work and nursing and 250 women are blacksmiths The conductor of a Boston street car who returned $1,869 to a woman who had lost it in his car was rewarded with a smile. Boston must have remarkable street cars. Is there one in any other city where a passenger could smile, even when handed $3,699? And it shows, too, that there are women in Boston who can smile. Among the interesting things shown in the Longfellow exhibit in the Cambridge public library, in honor of the hundredth anniversary of the poet's birth, was the first manuscript of "Excelior." The poem was written on an invitation, the poet evidently having used the first piece of paper that came to his hand. Col. Watterson furthermore remarks that half the people of Spain live on olives and air, while the other half wears cloaks and sombreros. Fortunately the colonel is traveling and taking notes in his private and individual capacity. A Boston woman who had dropped nearly $5,000 in a street car rewarded the conductor who restored it to her with a pleasant smile. That is probably more than she would have done for a man who stood up to give her a seat. If the man who started the story that a Wisconsin citizen had discovered $5,000 under a carpet thinks he can recover any of his fellow sufferers to the approach of house-cleaning he is vastly mistaken. John Keen of New York, now serving his second term in the United States senate, has never participated in the debates, and now Frank O. Briggs, who never made a speech, succeeds John F. Dryden, who was another senator. A gifted woman has invented a shoestring "that will not come united." Approval of the invention is withheld until assurance is given that it can be unified when it becomes necessary to take the shoe off.

Three Young Men at Lovillia Carry Bullets in Their Bodies. Centerville—Leroy Ware, cashier of the defunct Seymour Farmers and Drovers' bank, is a raving maniac and it is feared will commit suicide. He is watched hourly by physicians and nurses. A trained nurse has been called from the Centerville hospital to take charge of him and remain with him constantly. The victim of friends who impose" on his independence is now paying the dog of his false and illegal charges as cashier of the best banks in southern Iowa. Those closest to the matter have grave fears that before the matter is finally settled up Roy Ware will be either in his grieve or the mothouse. Bank Xammer Winder has made a significant contribution to the has been the institution of the institution while his examination has progressed: "Worse and more of it." The estimate of a shortage of $200,000 made yesterday is regarded as reasonably conservative. Yet the amounts positum to but $160,000 on the books. It is one of the marvelous cases. Some of the liabilities not represented by paper in the bank have been secured since the examiner began his work. Directors of the institution have decided, definitely, to the court at the institution. The enormous shortage makes reorganization and resumption of business impossible. STORY OF DOWNFALL. One False Step Led to Another By Cashine Wise of Seymour. Des Moines—"Every one in Seymour thinks Cashier Ware of the Farmers' and Drovers' Bank is perfectly honest," said Auditor of State Carroll, "and I have no doubt that he has had the most upright and honorable intentions. But he made one false step and in the effort to right the mistake by adding other false steps he has enmeshed himself very deeply; how deeply only the report of the bank examiner will disclose, the disgrace and responsibility fall upon him; likewise the punishment, if there will be punishment, unless evidence of which I now know nothing is disclosed later. If he alcove counts at the bank and falsified the books to conceal it, and issued time certificates instead of bills payable, as he confesses that he did, it would appear that he and none of the beneficiaries will bear the penalty. There does not seem any feeling against Ware, however, in the community, and what the grand jury will do I do not know. As to the beneficiaries of his pecuniary honesty there will be no way to reach them. "Of course there will be no loss. There is the utmost confidence as to that. The stock is $20,000 and the deposits but $160,000. There is money on hand and lots of good bills receivable. The assessment of the stock would produce almost $50,000. There is no money to be no loss to the depositors. The only question involved is whether the shortage is so large that the owners of the bank will feel like reorganizing and reopening it." MORE PAYROLL PADDING Another Sensation Sprung in the Hollenhora Case. Marahalltown—Another sensation in connection with the Hollenhors defalcation was sprung here in the arrest of O. S. Kerkam of Mexico, Mo., former agent of the Great Western at Melbourne, and John Donegan, section foreman of Melbourne. Ketcham is charged with tethering and passing a stolen car, and Donegan obtaining money under false pretenses and "padding" his payroll. The formation was filed by Carl G. Kerner, special agent. Ketcham is claimed to have made the request for $31.50 by Charles Winslow, one of which he is allowed to have secured for himself for $31.35 by signing Donegan's name. The check was issued by Hollenhors, the agent of Donegan. Donegan is accused of adding the name of Freed Vogt to the time book and drawing $16.25 after endorsing Vogt's name, Hollenhors issuing it. Ketcham was prominent while in Melbourne, where he was best society. He is a member of several secret societies. DECLARE WAR IN DUBUQUE. For First Time In History a Real Bailoon Flight is on.

Albain—Three boys were seriously injured while serenading a wedding party at Lovellia, when G. W. Wilson, the father of the tride, opened the window of his home and began shooting into a crowd of forty young people, girls and boys. The wounded are Arthur James, shot in eye; serious. Edward Morrissey, shot in neck; cochlear implanted James McFall, shot in shoulder. The young folks had come to the house early in the evening and were treated to ice cream and cake, they went away but come within hour and began throwing bricks and stone at the house. The father of the bride opened the window in the upper story and began shooting at the crowd, which scattered at once. Many girls were among the number, The three most serious hurt were taken to their homes and placed under a doctor's care. Information was filed against Mr. Wilson and he was arrested. He came to Albia to be with his daughter Miss Grace Wilson, who is but 18 years old, was married to Earl Porter, aged 19, of this city.

McCann—Prisoner Greatly Depressed by the News. Washington. — In an opinion by Chief Justice Fuller, the supreme court of the United States Monday dismissed the case of Frederick Seymour, alias "Lord Barrington," under sentence of death in St. Louis for the murder of James P. McCann in June, 1903, thus affirming the decision of the supreme court of Missouri and sustaining the verdict of guilty returned by the trial court. This case has been before the public court that has attracted great attention, largely because of Barrington's pretense of bearing an English title, under which shortly before the tragedy with which his name is connected he married a young woman of good family residing at Kansas City. Barrington made a vigorous fight in the St. Louis courts, contending that his conviction was the result of prejudice and that the charge was not sustained by proof. When the Missouri supreme court decided against him he was acquitted of the supreme court on a writ of error, contending that his trial had not been fair. St. Louis—When the information concerning the United States supreme court's decision, sustaining the verdict of guilty of the murder of James P. McCann rendered by the trial court, was conveyed to "Lord" Frederick Seymour Barrington, who is confined in the county 'all at Clayton. Barrington was apparently greatly depressed but endeavored to conceal his feelings. "I expected the decision Monday," he said, "and I had a feeling that the ruling of the court would be against me. I suppose this is the last resort. I think it is the nothing left but the fixing of the date of execution by the Missouri supreme court. The United States supreme court passed only on a question of jurisdiction. It seems hard that a man's life should be taken away on a more technicality like that."

REPLY TO HONORE JAXON Deplores Efforts to Influence Course of Justice- Repeats Condemnz- Washington.—In a letter addressed to Honore Jaxon of Chicago, chairman of the "Cook county Moyer-Haywolf conference," made public Tuesday. President Roosevelt replied to the criticisms of his recent letter in which he referred to Moyer and Haywolf, officials of the Western Federation of Miners, charged with implication in the murder of former Gov. Steuenberg of Idaho, as "undesirable citizens." The president says he regrets any body of men should so far forget their duty to their country as, by formation of societies and in other ways, to endeavor to influence justice and coerce court or jury; that they, not he, are trying to influence justice, and he condemns what he calls their fragrant impropriety in the matter of opinion as that he built up the Steenberg murder, be that it it was a simple absurdity to suppose that because a man is on trial he is free from criticism as to his manner of life. He said he might as well be accused of trying to influence the suits against Harriman, some of whose friends had also accused him. He said that Moyer and Haywood stand as representatives of those who habitually appear as guilty of inclement to or apology for bloodshed and violence. He is also aware that he was provoked indifferent to the condemnation of him for his criticisms of the undesirable types of citizens, regardless of the power of either labor or capital.

The Evolution of Household Remedie The modern patent medicine uses acetate in the natural outgrowth of a old-time household remedies. In the early history of this country EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME MADE MEDICINES. Herb titters, lazatives and tonics, were found in almost every house, compared by the housewife, sometimes as by the apothecary or the family doctor. Such remedies as piec, which is aloe and quassie, dissolved in oil brandy. Sometimes a hop tonic, which is whiskey, hope and bitter bark score or more of popular, home remedies were thus compounded, formulas for which were passed off from house to house, sometimes written sometimes verbally communicated. The patent medicine business is natural outgrowth from this whole, old-time custom. In the bing, some enterprising doctor, pressed by the usefulness of these home-made remedies, would it up, improve it in many ways, manufacture it on a large scale, advertise mainly through almanac for the house and thus it would become used over large area.

BIG STICK FOR PENROSE Justice Elk n Skid to Be Picked by Administration to Succeed Pennsylvania Senator. Washington, D. C., April 26.—Very important political developments with reference chiefly to the presidential campaign of 1908 have been taking place here in the last two days. A strong indication was given that President Roosevelt has his mind made up not to take a third term by the disclosure of the fact that his private secretary, William Loeb, Jr., plans on Jan. 1 next to leave the White house and become the head of the Washington Railway and Electric company, leading railway of this city. Policillians take the view that if the president had any intention of going to stay where he is, Mr. Loeb will be the successor is not yet plucked. It deserves to be said, however, that Mr. Loeb's pro entrance to business fields is not entirely conclusive on the third term question as his salient feature is the inadequate end the detainees on, and Mr. Loeb is confronted with a specially good opportunity to go into business. Along with the news of Mr. Loeb's prospective retirement we visit the visit to the White House, where he is conspicuously Pennsylvania, the man who at Senator Boorn's dinner is alleged to have disclosed the details of the $5,000,000 conspiracy to beat Roosevelt. Senator Penrose is retaken when he is arrested, however, that President Roosevelt has a "big stick" out for Mr. Penrose and that the administration will exert its influence to prevent his return to the senate. Justice John P. Elkin of the Pennsylvania supreme court said the man picked to succeed Penrose. President Roosevelt will use his power of bestowal of federal patronage in Pennsylvania to help Elkin and defeat Posey, just as he is using that power in Ohio for Taft and Burton and against Foraker and Diek. At the same time, it will be used to help Posey to friend to Roosevelt out of Pennsylvania, for 1908 to be used probably for Taft. Assistant Postmaster,General Hitchcock has returned from the south, where he was sent to round up the delegations friendly to the president. He reported that Roosevelt sentiment is strong. The administration had become alarmed because of reports that Posey had sent to Foraker men were getting a strong foothold and winning other parts of the country on a similar mission at an early date. Much comment has been aroused here by attitude of labor leaders on President Roosevelt's recent Heywood-Moyer letter. The American Federation of Labor leaders are said to have been aroused by attitude. It is believed in many quarters here that the president's course in this matter will put labor against him. President Roosevelt recently called John Mitchell here for a conference, but Mr. Mitchell has been deceived. The president is said to be anxious for Mitchell's backing in this controversy. SEIZE BREWERY PROPERTY Kansas Receivers Start Official Con- fecation. Topeka, Ks., April 26.—The three receivers appointed by the state supreme court for the property of eight brewery companies and the Heim Real Estate company in Kansas qualified yesterday and orders giving them the right to take charge of all property in the state belonging to the defendants were laughed. The receivers' first act was to confer at length with Sheriff Wilkerson as to this in the Shawnee county, which consists of a quantity of beer and liquors in cold storage, warehouses and wagons. The receivers will first seize the property in this county and then go after that in other parts of the state. Governor Hoch yesterday allowed the receivers money out of the contingent that went on their bond and stated that additional necessary expenses would be furnished them from the same source.

The case will be brought as an ordinary prosecution case. The case also appears that the defendant will appeal to the supreme court of the state and an early hearing will be sought.

The next day he went to the nearest town and spelt it with a merchant. Before the year was out he got the dollar back. Four times in six years the dollar came back to him for produce and three times he heard of it in the pocket of his neighbors. The last time he got it back four years ago. He sent it to a mail order house. He never has seen that dollar since, and never will. That dollar bill will never pay any more school or road tax for him, will never build or brighten any of the homes of the community. He sent it entirely out of the circle of usefulness to himse'f and his neighbors. Patronize your local merchant who helps pay your taxes, support your schools and churches, and lend a helping hand in times of sickness and trouble. A Presbyterian clergyman was praising the late Dr. Henry Martin Field of Stockbridge, who for 44 years edited the Evangelist. "Dr. Field did so much good," he said, "because he went about his work diplomatically, sensibly reasonably. I once heard him declare that reformers failed often because the moment they started a reform they dropped common sense. Common sense was swallowed up in zeal. He said that a nerve cure faddist once entered a shop and leading the proprietor to one side whispered mysteriously: 'Ah, my friend, you can do the race untold good if you will only take the agency for our and tea preparation. It is warranted to in the week a most confirmed and nerve-racked tea tipper. Never said.' But the dealer lamented and drew away. You have made a mistake, he said. 'I can't take such an agency as that. Don't you see that this is a teasehart.' "Oh, no mistake," said the reformer eagerly. "It is because you run a teashop that I have sought you out. You come into constant contact with the very people we are trying to reach." Shipwrecked Sailors Saved. Eleven men, members of the crew of the Norwegian antarctic expedition ship Catherine, have been rescued after having been cast away on one of the Crozet islands in the southern Indian ocean, far off the track of commerce. They were found in exceedingly good health, having subsisted on penguins, elephants, albatross eggs and food from the depot placed there in 1880. The latter was not particularly wholesome, but the men got used to it. One bottle of wine which was washed ashore was kept for Christmas. They were short of matches, and used only one daily, and made every effort to keep alight a lamp, owing to the severe cold. Back to the Club.

Automobiles and Appendicitis scare some people before they are hit. Appendicitis is often caused by too much starch in the bowels. Starch is hard to digest and clogs up the digestive machinery—also tends to form cakes in the cecum. (That's the blind pouch at entrance to the appendix.) A N. H. girl had appendicitis, but lived on milk for awhile—then Crape Nuts and got well without an operation. She says: "Five years ago while at school, I suffered terribly with constipation and indigestion." (Too much starch, which bread potatoes, etc., will absorb not digest.) "Soon after I left school I had an attack of appendicitis and for thirteen weeks lived on milk and water. When I recovered enough to eat solid food there was nothing that would agree with me, until a friend recommended Grane-Nuts. "When I began to eat Grape-Nuts I weighed 10 lbs, but I soon came to 115 lbs. The distress after eating left me entirely and now I am like a new person." (A little Grape-Nuts dissolved in hot water or milk would have been much better for this case than milk alone, for the starchy part of the wheat and barley is changed into a puff digestible sugar in minima Grape-Nuts. same game by Borum Co.

Saltcoats, Sask., 8th December, 1808. To the Editor. Dear Sir, I willingly give you the result of my four and a half years' experience in the District of Saltocata. Previous to coming here I farmed in Baldwin, St. Croix County, Wisconsin, and as I have heard a great deal about the Canadian North-West, I decided to take a trip there and see the country for myself. I was so impressed with the richness of the soil that I bought half a section of land about five miles from the town of Saltocata. I moved on to the land the following June and that year broke 90 acres, which I cropped in 1944, and 50 bushels wheat acres, 1905, with an increase of 160 acres, I had 24 bushels and 85 bushels of oats per acre. I had 25 bushels wheat and 45 bushels of oats per acre. From the above mentioned yields you can readily understand that I am very well pleased with the Canadian West. Of course, I have had to work hard, but I don't mind that when I get such a good return for my labor. To anyone thinking about coming to this country I can truthfully say that if they are prepared to work and not grumble at trifles, they are bound to get on. Some things I would like different, but take the country all round. I don't know where to go to get a better. Yours truly, (Signed) O. B. OLSON.

The war correspondent, Frederic Villiers, has recorded a talk with first Bret Harte apropos of the poem "The Rose of Kenny." We all felt his 'os most keenly in the States," said Harte: "On hearing of his death (I) sat down about three in the afternoon to write an editorial on the great author, I wrote one and then tore it up. Then another, after much pains, was written. This did not please me, so I tore it up. I wrote yet another and throw it into the waste paper basket; it would not do. It was getting late, and I was now keeping the paper waiting for press. I was drumming on my desk, absolutely without another thought in my head; I had run dry. Suddenly I mechanically began to write and the result was the thing you seem to like so much. Well, Mr. Villilera, you are not far out. I like it, too." BLOOD GET8 SOUR. Gives Advice and Tells of Simple Home Mixture. 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, which sour the blood, causing not only facial and bodily eruptions, but the worst forms of Rheumatism, Nervous and Painful Disease, to be 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 Kargon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sarasparilla, three ounces. Mix by shaking in a bottle and take in teaspoonful 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 the waste 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.
