Later on the musicians who make the music took hold with the promoter of the enterprise will appear with full instrumentation. J. H. McDowell, for a number of years leader of the Muchakinock (Buxon band) bank is the promoter of the Capital City Band. He had long ago seen what the colored citizens of Polk county really needed in this respect and resolved to go at it and did in fine style. Nor does he want to keep all the concerts with goes to the member of the band, who so concerned to spend time and money to make that which had failed so often before. Mr. McDowell refused the leadership of the band on account of health and to catch and maintain the confidence of the men, but was made president and business manager, as a hard worker musically and otherwise, and has those qualities and fitness in ability that will go far in maintaining this band. The band will grow larger by corresponding and make musicians, as we invite musicians to call on us when they come to the city. with them. The band regrets very much to lose the service of Mr. Edward Thompson, recently from school, who dropped into line with us as soon as he arrived home. He will be alwaysuber a band.

It was this day 201 years ago the thirteen colonial colonies threw off the British yoke and declared themselves in dependent and a free people, after a long and bloody struggle for this independence. We in this generation cannot fully realize the hardships, privations and the many burdens they suffered. They were barred from speaking, writing or even worshiping God according to their conscience. This day ment a great step forward in the ranks of human achievements. It laid the foundation for a broader civilization, a nobler manhood; and today we breathe these guaranteed rights as though they were God given as if we had always had them. May the American people nourish cherish and hold those precious heritage vouchsed safe to them by their progenators and wave the red white and blue. THE NEGROES ARE JUSTIFIED. If there be good and sufficient reason why we do not permit public ridicule and condemnation of other races by wholesale, is there not good and bad in our society that least should cease to contribute its good money to help southern swain-bucklers work their political game, which is to keep themselves in office by a false alignment of the white man against the Negro. He has said that about one-tenth of the total population. He is here to stay. He is trying to make something of himself. He is seeking an education and is acquiring a home. He has plenty of leaders who have surpassed him. He is trying to make a future in manliness, and all essentials of decent American citizenship. What is to be gained by listening to or permitting this continued and unjust abuse of the Negro? Is it not about the Morning's chance? —Editorial This Morning's Register and Leader.

The right way is to keep at hand a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. No physician can prescribe a better medicine for these diseases.

As the preservation of peace by the Central American republic seems impossible, it has been suggested that the United States and Mexico unite in a protectorate over them after they have been combined into a single federation. Mexico and the United States already exercise an informal oversight over affairs in Central America. A little more than a year ago this country practically forced two of the warring republics to come to terms. This spring American warships patrolled the coasts of Honduras, Nicaragua and Salvador, protecting the property of foreigners so effectively that they seriously interfered with the activity of the contending armies. The Mexican government has lately struck a hard blow at revolutions by demanding that Guatemala surrender the Guatemalan responsible for the murder in Mexico of a former Guatemalan president in Mexico of a former Guatemalan murder in murder even when done in the name of Central American revolution, the revolutionists will take thought before they rise in arms. There is a growing determination in the minds of Mexicans and Americans, says Youth's Companion, that if the Central Americans will not conduct themselves properly, force must be used. Whether the outcome will be a federation and a formal protectorate it is useless to prophesy. Last previous attempts at federation have failed. All the republics have agreed that arbitration is the proper way to settle disputes, and a formal treaty providing for arbitration has been concluded. But when a dispute arises, the republics disregard the treaty and rush to arms. As the business of the world draws more closely to the Caribbean sea some way will be found to make the countries bordering it safe for the residence of business men. Prince Louis of Orleans, regardless by the monarchists of Brasil as heir to Dom Pedro's throne, was not allowed to land in Rio de Janeiro, when the ship on which he was sailing to Paraguay entered the harbor. The Brazilian authorities regard as still in force the degree of banishment against Dom Pedro's family, passed by the provisional government immediately after the overthrow of the empire in 1899. Prince Louis is the second son of the former crown princess of Brazil and the French prince, Gaston of Orleans. He was born in Brasil and the monarchists rally round him rather than round his crippled elder brother, Pedro. The visit of the prince to South America has roused the royalists in a new interest in their cause and in not without interest to states men in North America. But the prospect of a royalist rising in Brasil, still more of its success, is remote indeed. Railway accidents have been usually ascribed to insufficient equipment. Prof. F. H. Dixon, in an article in the Atlantic Monthly, concludes that the real difficulty is not mechanical but human. It is not the failure or the lack of the block signal that causes the trouble, nor would the installation of automatic stops and other devices cure the evil. "The fundamental weakness of American railroading from the standpoint of safety is the widespread and almost universal lack of discipline." This conclusion accords with the experience of the rage. Disciplined armies poorly equipped have trumped over armies well accounted and provisioned, but lacking in discipline. It is likely, however, that railroad employees will point out at once that the lack of discipline begins in the poor generality of the managers who demand impossible things of their soldiers. The wide interest in American genealogy is responsible for the publication by the government of the census returns of 1790 in the states in existence at that time. This census consisted of an enumeration of the population and was the original documents as preserved in the census office in a collection of oddly assorted volumes, the marshals having been obliged to furnish their own blanks. Because the names of heads of families were included in this compilation the books have been in great demand by people tracing their ancestry, and it is for the benefit of these that publication is being made. When completed the pamphlets will be for sale. Dr. Thomas J. See, the astronomer, who is visiting his home at Montgomery City, Mo., says in an interview that the leakage of the ocean bed causes earthquakes. Perhaps Dr. See can suggest a method for patching up the holes in the sea. The kaiser boxed the ears of his cousin, Prince Frederick Henry of Prussia, and then ordered him to leave Germany. The kaiser evidently believes in the effective, old-fashioned sort of chastisement. Most persons employed in the Venetian glass industry begin to lose their sight when they are between 40 and 50 years of age, and in a short time become blind. This blindness is caused by the excessive heat and glare from the furnaces. A Baltimore young woman has been sentenced to five years hard labor for raising a bank note. By the end of that time she'll realize that the only way to raise bank notes is by hard labor. IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth. FOURTH REAPS ITS HARVEST.

Deputy Henry Barmel of Dubuque, the state fish commissioner's assistant, came to Clinton and catching two fishermen named Huhunin and another man named Faye, few miles below the city, had them arrested and burned their paraphernalia, including two seines. Huhunin brought suit in the district court to recover damages for the destruction of the seines on the ground that Hock Creek is federal waterway. The Iowa inamuch as the men were seething not far from its mouth, and the Mississippi backs up into the creek for a considerable distance. Judge Barker held that the stream is under the jurisdiction of Iowa and is not government water such as the Mississippi, Missouri and such part of the Des Moines river which forms the boundary of the state. The judge further held that Deputy Barmeister is responsible to Huhunin for the value of one seine, which was not in use at the time it was seized and destroyed. The fact that the men were using one seine and had no means to defend it against the destruction of both, Judge Barker holds in his opinion. DEXTER GETS THREE YEARS. Judge Reed Sentences Algona Land Fraud, Man. Fort Dodge—Judge Reed in federal court sentenced Ira Dexter to three years in the Leavenworth penitentiary and to pay $500 for the fraudulence with the operation of a mythical national land company of Algona. When Dexter was asked by the court if he had anything to say his lawyer told him that he had paths. It has been felt all along that Dexter is merely the dupe of smooth scoundrels who remain hidden in the back ground and allow him to bear the penalty. Several attorneys said it would be to make an expose of confederates. "I want to thank the court for the kindness shown me. I've been sneered at all my life and mocked and isolated from other men because I was a victim of my life, I was born that way. I want to tell you, judge, that I've got a wife and three children and don't care about the imprisonment except for the crime. That Dexter has associates in his crime is shown by his intimating to the deputy that there were certain persons who ought to take care of his family and pay him a good sum per year. He was taken to Leavenworth. Pleasantville Lad Cute Down Swaying Form Pleasantville.—But for the presence of mind of Arle Routh, a little boy of 9 years of age, Wm. Kubil, a young farmer, living just on the border of town, would be a corpse, but being acting strangely for some time. He went to a grove near his home and stripping the bark from a hickory tree, twisted it into a rope. One end was then tled to a limb several feet above the ground, and the other end nooses. The bark was liberately jumped and was thus suspended when the little Routh boy happened along, and at once cut the improvised rope. Kubil was unconscious, but was resuscitated by the doctor. He was taken to Knoxville, examined, and insanity board, and being adjudged insane was taken to the hospital at Mount Pleasant. Dexter—A cyclone of terrible proportions struck this town, doing considerable destruction. Fort Dea was the worst of the greatest loss. The speed and part of the main building was demolished.

Davenport—Three desperate prisoners, all bound over to the grand jury for robbery, two of them, Jacob Simmons and Roy Lee, both negroes, shortly after their escape boarded a Rock Island train. Lee in jumping the train was caught on the girders near the depot and fatally injured. His legs were broken, head badly cut and bruised and his arm was broken to be sent to St Lake's hospital in a dying condition. The other negro, Simmons, has been caught at Ottawa, Ill. Emmet Hodge, the other prisoner who escaped, was arrested for robbery at Frys' livery stable and is still at jail. The prisoners made their escape by overpowering one of the guards. The man was seized as he was locking up the prisoners for the night. He was then taken to the cell. On trying to gain the outer door the jail birds encountered Night Watchman Nate Johnson. He at once began using his club, but the three closed in on him, and was left insanable on the floor. His condition is said to be serious. SAY NO PAY FOR SUNDAY. Accountant's Bill for Labor Turned Down by Board Atlantic.—A peculiar situation has arisen here over the claim of George E. Pennell against the county for work done in checking up the county books in accordance with a recent order of court, when the order was made by Judge Green that Mr. Pennell do the work, it was preempted the day after, the day. Mr. Pennell worked twenty days, including three Sundays, the Sunday work being done to facilitate matters. When he presented his claim to the board of supervisors for the $15, not allowing him for the Sunday work, three members taking the stand that there being an anti-Sunday law in the state it would be a violation of law required that he be allowed but $85 and now he says he will not finish the work unless he is paid for the three Sundays. As there is much of the work yet to do, the board will either have to allow the work to be done or do the work. The vote on the original bill was three to two. LIGHTNING HITS BALL PLAYERS. One is Killed; Eight Others Were Shocked St. Anthony. — A lightning bolt struck one man dead and shocked eight others here Sunday afternoon while they were playing a game of baseball. Albert Laplant on second base was the victim and he was just catching a fly thrown to him by the catcher when death blocked the throw. Binding flash of lightning followed by a deafening peal of thunder startled the players and spectators. The team from Clemons had just been retired at the bat when their opponents, the St. Anthony nine, started in from the field. Then the crash came from the field. The team seemed as though every one of the players had been killed for the spectators saw nine forms lying on the commons, apparently lifeless. It was found that eight were stunned, but young Laplant was quite dead. The team was in a serious condition and badly injured. The dead boy was only 22 years old. Over 100 people witnessed the tragedy. NINE HURT IN WRECK. Street Car Accident at Bluffs Injures Many Women Council Bluffs:—Nine people, all of them women but two, were injured in a street car accident here. A summer car with a trailer was mounted the hill at Fairmount park, both cars loaded to the limit, when the overhead blew blew out. The front end of the car directly over the motorman was instantly abaze. The motorman leaped from the car after turmoil, but recalled it before the train proceeded far and succeeded in setting the brakes. The damage, however, had already been done. The passengers when they saw the flames sweeping back directly into the street, but recalled it became panstirricken and a struggle began to escape. Some of the passengers sustained their injuries in the struggle, but the majority were caught and dragged the street for some distance, a few at the same time being trampled upon. BOARD TRADE GAMBLING. Federal Court at Fort Dodge in De CINION Fort Dodge—That speculating on the board of trade is only a form of gambling was decided by the United States court here. The jury in the case of Ware vs. Pearson found that Ware need not pay any losses incurred in the spills of the Ware, Chicago stock brokers, had brought suit to recover $0,000 from Arthur Pearson, a wealthy farmer. He had speculated until his losses were paid. He refused payment on his margins. The case was stubbornly contested and a long array of witnesses testified on both sides. Senator Dollier was on the stand to testify as to Pearson's fitness and he said that his mental condition was not always of the best. An effort to have this evidence struck out was denied by Judge Reed, who then instructed the jury. **Farmer Killed by Fall.** Atton—a fall from his horse three weeks ago caused the death of George Atton. At the time of the death he suffered a concussion of the brain and a tumor which formed was the immediate cause of his death. The body will be taken to Marshallwatt By No Me I cane a Pleasure, According to One Traveler. "No soccer has one plunged into the water than one is whipped off one's feet and goes bobbing helplessly about life's unknown depths. Plain water bathing in the Dead Sea. "In the effort to regain one's footing and to get back to shore, one's feet and shins are barked by the jagged stones and pebbles, and when at length one does emerge from its treacherous bosom, with the lower limbs bleeding and torn, one aware of a horrible pain and burns, and one aware of eyes, ears, noslips, mouth and almost every pore of the skin, from the brine and bitumen which have penetrated everywhere. "Unless great care is taken the bather in the Dead sea is liable to an eruption, which breaks out all over his body, and which is commonly known as the Dead sea rash.' The best antidote to this is to hurry across as quickly as possible to the river Jordan and take a second plunge there. The soft and muddy waters of that sacred but dirty stream will effectively remove the salt that has incrusted the body." INSURANCE INVESTMENTS. Now One Company's Assets Are Distributed in the South and West. In connection with its withdrawal from Texas, along with many other companies, rather than to submit to the new law which requires that 75% of the reserves on Texas policies shall be invested in securities of that state, which securities shall be deposited in the state and subjected to heavy taxation, in addition to the large tax now imposed on life insurance premiums, the Equitable Life Assurance Society has made public the distribution of its assets, at the end of the second year of the new management. The Equitable now has $10,958,000 Texas, which amounts to the law requires, but the management decided that to submit to the additional taxation would be an injustice to its policyholders in other states, which impose no such penalty on the thrift of their citizens. New Automatic Ride. The selfloading or automatic musket is now being seriously considered as the infantry arm of the future. The equipment of the great armies of the world with an improved rifle is hardly completed when the mechanics begin work on a new weapon. At the recent examinations of the German War Academy the automatic rifle was one of the themes for discussion. The piece now on canvas has a magazine on the marriage ring is utilized to load and cook. Consequently the soldier can remain quiet in position, never removing his eye from the target, and fire his ten shots—New York Sun. New In Wall Paper A new design in fancy wall paper patterns comes from Kansas City; also a way to utilize cancelled checks. A firm has had all its offices papered with old checks, placed neatly edge to edge. The face figures of the checks are from the firm, and the total room is $3,000. As a gilt moulding runs around the edges of each check-panel, the general effect is rather pleasing. Biddle "What is the difference between a chauffeur and a surgeon?" asked the every ready joker.

Many Ladies Have Poor Complexions from Coffee. "Coffee caused dark colored blotches on face and body, had been drinking for too long while blotches gradually appeared, until finally they became permanent and were about as dark as coffee itself. "I formerly had as fine a complexion as one could ask for. "When I became convinced that coffee was the cause of my trouble, I changed and took to using Postum Food Food, and as I made it well, according to directions, I liked it very much, and have since that time used it in place of coffee. "But I say that I am not notorious any more, as I was when I was drinking coffee, and my compulsion is now as fair and good as it was years ago. It is very plain that coffee caused the trouble." Most bad complexions are caused by some disturbance of the stomach and coffee is the greatest disturber of digestion known. Almost any woman can have a fair complexion if she will eat coffee and nutritious, healthy food, proper quantity. Postum furnishes certain elements from the natural grains from the field that Nature uses to rebuild the nervous system and when that is in good condition, one can depend upon a good complexion.

Former Stenographer Friedman defends His Taking of the Papers — Wallace Tells of Miusse of Millitia. Boise, Idaho. — Morris Friedman, the young Russian stenographer who left the employ of the Pinkerton agency at Denver to write a book in which he published certain correspondence of the agency that passed through his hands, was again the principal figure in the Steuenenberg murder trial Monday. More than half of the court's day was occupied in reading to the jury copies of the documents which Friedman took from the Pinkerton records. They were chiefly the daily reports of secret agents operating as spies among the unions and union men at Cripple Creek, Victor, Globeville, Colorado City, Trinidad and Denver, and showed a complete surveillance of the Western Federation of Miners and the United Mine Workers of America during the labor troubles in Colorado in 1903-04. Pinkerton men sat in the federation convention at Denver in 1904 reporting all proceedings. State Calis Him Traitor. The prosecution offered no opposition to any feature of Friedman's testimony, and no objection to the introduction of any one of the documents and documents retained through him, and when Friedman was handed over for cross-examination it endeavored to ascertain if Friedman had any more reports or letters bearing on the general issue. It attacked Friedman on the ground that he had played the Pinkertons false, had violated his pledge to them and had stolen the documents which he produced, but the witness would not admit that he had stolen the papers and would not allow Senator Borah to call him a "Pinkerton." He insisted that it was the steal that to take, and that that steal had been the fraud and deceit of secret service men, and declared that the public service which he performed in informing the people of the methods of the agency fully justified anything that he had done. Another interesting witness was James I. Wallace, an attorney of Cripple Creek, who served with the milita, first as a private and then as a heutenant, during the strike of 1903-04. He related several instances as tending to show the misuse of the power of the milita by the mine owners; gave the criminal records of some of the gun fighters imported by the mine owners; told of the working of the card system; recited the circumstances connected with the loot operations of the mine and warehouse per office, and swore that he saw K. C. Sterling, chief detective for the mine owners, fire the first shot in the Victor riot the day of the Independence station incident. Three Deny Orchard Story. Bose, Idaho—Max Malch, Joe Meehlch and Billy Alkman, variously implicated in alleged misconduct at Globeville, Denver and Cripple Creek, on the word of Harry Orchard, went on the stand Tuesday as witnesses for William D.

Haywood, nonunion smeltermen at Globeville, and that Orchard originated the idea of Milling William McDonald, one of Malch's business rivals. CAUGHT MAKING "QUEER" COIN.

LIMARO JOURNAL NEW YORK CITY PELIEVED NEW YORK CITY PELIEVED STRIKE OF GARBAGE DRIVERS ENDED BY MAYOR. Streets Blocked by Heaps of Putrefying Refuse—Policie Sergeant Badly Injured by a Bomb. New York.—The strike of the city carbage collectors is over and the ears of a serious epidemic as the result of the conditions which have existed for the past week are at rest. A committee representative struck the carriage collectors with Mayor McCullain Monday. He promised that if they would return to work he would take up their grievances. Later the committee announced that they had decided to send all the men back to work, trusting to the mayor's promise. It was also announced that the men would work overtime until the accumulation of garbage in the streets had been removed. All day long the health department officials put forth their utmost efforts to gain some headway against the rapidly increasing accumulations in the streets. About 250 carts were in use, but strike breakers were hard to find and difficult to hold. Police Sergeant William Duggan was seriously injured by the explosion of what the police believe was a bomb while escorting two carts in One Hundred and Sixteenth street ate in the day. The sergeant was blown several feet. He was taken to a hospital suffering from shock and a accretion. East Side street conditions are almost unbeatable. The return of hot weather has added to the seriousness of the situation. In places the heaps of garbage practically fill the streets and traffic is interfered with. Attempts to dispose of the accumulations by burning have seen largely unsuccessful. But it is not alone the East Side that suffers. The entire city is affected by odors. The health department is still struggling to make some impression on the mountainous heaps of refuse, but even if the full force required to clear the area takes several days of hard labor before normal conditions are restored.

Operator' Strike May Spread 'Operators' Strike May Spread. Chicago—Secretary Wesley Russell, of the Commercial Telegraphers' union, admitted for the first time that active members had a right way for the extension of the strike against the Western Union and Postal companies. This is taken to mean that the union leaders have despaired of winning their contention with the big telegraph companies by a single strike demonstration at San Francisco, and are now ready to enlarge their operations. Kansas City and St. Louis are two western cities that are mentioned in connection with theposed new strike field. It is believed that the operators will be called from the offices in those cities within a week. Miss Sears In Tennis Champions Miss Sears is Teen Champion.

Those in the automobile were: Charles and Walter Bucholz, prominent merchants of Appleton, and the three-year-old son of Walter. They were driving along the lake shore road which at the point where the accident happened runs along the edge of a bluff. At the highest point the machine got beyond the control of the driver, swerped and went directly over the embankment. The heavy car crashed into a fall, but was in 20 years of water. Charles was struck by the steering wheel and received internal injuries which may prove fatal. A gasoline launch was near the scene of the accident, and those on board hastened to rescue the automobilists. BILL PERILS CROPS IN KANSAS Hepburn Measure Said to Make Harvest Hands Hard to Get. Topeka, Kan. — T. B. Gerow, director of the free employment bureau of Kansas, has sent a letter to E. E. Clark, a member of the interstate-commerce commission, for assistance in which he asserts the Hepburn hill has destroyed the former effective plans of sending out harvest hands into Kansas. "Herefor we have been able to send five men in a party at the rate," wrote Mr. Gerow. "Now we must have a party of 15. Further than that pay agents are sending them from stations to places where they are not wanted. We cannot afford to leave the trouble in getting men. We cannot afford to have our wheat crops destroyed in this manner. I wish to make my protest now." NAMED TO TEST MRS. EDDY Federal Judge Aldrich to Ascertain Her Mental Condition. Concord, N.

Declares He Had Not Been Evading But Did Not Exactly Understand What Is Wanted. Pittsfield, Mass., July 4.—After a search lasting nearly two weeks, in which representatives of the United States marshals of Chicago, Cleveland, New York and Boston have been endeavoring to serve upon John D. Rocketter, head of the Standard Oil Company, a subpoena issued by Judge Landis and the federal court of Chicago, Mr. Rocketter was located in this city yesterday in a service made upon him by Deputy Un- ited States Marshal Charles L. Frink of North Adams. After accepting service Mr. Rocketter explained that he had not been endeavoring to judge service, but that he did not know exactly what was wanted of him. Early in the day Deputy Marshall H. Fink and James Ruhl, the latter of the Boston office, visited Tacomc larm. Mr. Ruhl, a Princetonite told them that his father was there. The officers professed to be satisfied with the statement and departed, remarking that they had no search warrant which would permit them to go through the house. Mr. Ruhl was for Boston, and Deputy Frank went to his home in North Adams, about twenty-five miles from this city. Later Deputy Frank decided to pay another visit to the farm and he returned to Pittfield and secretly drove the deputy through the wooded driveway into the open space in front of the house and recognized Mr. Rockefeller sitting on the plaza, the deputy passed the subpoena to the oil man, exchanged the same time that Mr. Rockefeller's court in Chicago on July 6 was needed. Mr. Rockefeller accepted service with a smile shook hands with the deputy and expressed pleasure at the officer, while the officer to sit on the plaza and rest, which invitation was accepted. Mr. Rockefeller chatted for a few moments, saying that he had not intended to evade the officers, but that he knew exactly what was desired of him. He referred to the newspaper stories that have been printed about him recently, and ridiculed the idea that he had been surrounded by armed guards or that the Taconic farm had been destroyed. As the officer was leaving the house, Mr. Rockefeller again shook hands with him, said he was glad to have met him, and added: "If you are ever near my home, I hope you will be on my call." It is thought that Mr. Rockefeller was advised after the morning call of the officers that he had better accept service. It is generally believed that he has become the Taconic farm since last March. In reply to questions as to Mr. Rockefeller's presence at Taconic farm, Mr. Prentice on Saturday said that Mr. Rockefeller was not there, but that he would be for any one who could prove that his father-in-law was in Pittsfield. The federal court in Chicago desire Mr Rockefeller's presence so that he can be interrogated regarding the affairs of the Stand Oil company of Texas, against which processing have been instituted by the authorities. TORNADO SWEEPS TOWNS. Village of Oakdale, Wisconsin Wiped Out By Storm. La Crose, Wls. July 5—Reports from the district of Oakdale, which was swept by a tornado, show at least two people to have been killed and one fatally injured at Oakdale, and that the damage was much greater than first reported. The dead are Mr. and Mrs. John Dame of Oakdale, Mrs. Butterfield of the same place is fatally injured. The storm was most severe in the vicinity of Oakdale, on the Milwaukee road, and Warren's stone railway, stone with a population of 500, was almost swept away, only one building, the station of the St. Paul railroad, being left standing.

The crops were completely ruined and farm buildings torn down in a line across the country to Oakdale, where the whole town was torn to pieces. Continuing south from Oakdale, a continuing south from country south and east of Tongah was laid bare by the storm. NOT LESS THAN TWO CENTS. Railroads Adopt Scheme to Prove Legal Rate Unproffitable.

Foster-Milburn C. Buffalo, N. Y. HAPPENED AT BAD TIME. Minister's Fall Significant in View of Previous Words. In a small church in one of the mining towns of Pennsylvania was a pulpit both antique and unique. It was about the size and shape of a four barrel, was elevated from the floor about four feet and was fastened to the wall as ascent by narrow winding steps. A minister from a neighboring town, a man of great vigor and veshemence, preached there one Sunday. While preaching he bent forward and shouted out with great force the words of his text: "The righteous shall stand, but the wicked shall fall". Just as these words escaped from his lips, the pulpit brought from its opening, he fell out and rolled over on the floor before his congregation. In an instant he was on his feet again and said: "Brethren, I am not hurt, and I don't mind the fall much, but I do hate the connection." ELEVEN YEARS OF ECZEMA. Hands Cracked and Bleeding—Nail Came Off of Finger—Cuticura Remedies Brought Prompt Relief. "I had eczema on my hands for about eleven years. The hands cracked open in many places and bled. One of my fingers was so bad that the nail came off. I had tried so many remedies, and they all had failed to cure me. I had seen three doctors, but got no relief. Finally I got a cake of Cuticura Soap, a box of Cuticura Ointment and two bottles of Cuticura Resolvent Pills. Of course I kept Cuticura Soap all the time for my hands, but the one cake of Soap and half a box of Cuticura Ointment cured them. I recommend the Cuticura Remedies to all suffering with eczema.

Word comes from abroad that Mrs. Vanderbilt is to take a large estate near London, and that the Breakers will not be open this season in Newport. This will be the second summer that this magnificent estate has been closed, and it means a social as well as financial loss to the place. To the gossips of the smart set it means that something attractive is keeping Mrs. Vanderbilt and her daughter on the other side of the Atlantic—something that draws like a lodestone. No longer is Robert Goelet's name heard in connection with the hand of Miss Vanderbilt, and we are at our wil's and to know just who the lucky Johnny is.—New York American. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. "Good heavens, Mary!" exclaimed the pampered husband, "where did you get these cigars? They are horrible!" "Why, my dear, I'm sure they're quite good," tearfully replied his wife.

PILES NO MONEY TIL CURED ARCED FOR FREE TREATMENT OR BETAL DR. TROSTONK & MIMBIR 10:00 AM ST. KANADA CITY (GAITA) AT 517-825-3000 There Are Thousands of Opportunities in the Land of Opportunity. To the Editor. Dear Sir: The following experience of an Illinois man who went to Western Canada six years ago is but one of the thousands of letters that could be reproduced showing how prosperity follows the settler on the fertile lands of Western Canada. This letter was written to the Chicago agent of the Government of the Dominion of Canada and is dated at Evarts, Alberta, April 8, 1907: "It is six years the 5th of this month since I and family landed in Red Deer, family sick and only 7% in my pocket. Bought a $12 lot, built a 18x14 shack and went to work as a carpenter. Next May sold for $400 (had added 16x18 building to shack). Purchased two lots at $70 each and built a 2x28 two story building and sold for $50. Filed on a quarter section 33 miles N. W. of Red Deer and have spent three years on it from well pleased, and well and well fed and wire and rail, 3½ miles of fence. House 29x31 feet on stone foundation. Last year was my first attempt to raise grain, 1½ acres of fall wheat, yield grand, but was frosted August 2nd, was cut August 16th and made good pig feed. Had 1½ acres fall yr that I think could not be beat. A farmer from Dakota cut it for me; he said he never saw such heavy grain anywhere. Straw was 7 feet high. I had 4 acres of 2 rowed barley on fall breaking that did not do so well, yet it ripened and gave me not the feed I need for stock and seed for the spring. I did not give yield, but the wheat would have gone at least 25 bu. to the acre. Have a log stable 31x35 feet, broad roof and two smaller buildings for plugs and chickens. "I have lived in Harvey, Ill., and know something about it. I have been hungry there and though able and willing to work could get none to do. One Saturday evening found me without any supper or a cent to get it with. A friend, surmising my situation, gave me a dollar, which was thankfully accepted and later paled back. Wife and I are thankful we came here. We live near living near. Vroom Vroom ill and perhaps a member visiting me there and getting me beaded for the Canadian Northwest, and a happy day it has proved for me. I have not grown rich, but I am prospering. I would not take $3,000 for my quarter now. The past winter has been a hard one, but I worked outside the coldest day (52 below) all day and did not suffer. We are getting a school started now that is badly needed. "Our P. O., Evarts, is about 15 miles; there is another office 6 miles, but it is not convenient to Wife and I would not be home for anything Illinois has to offer. "Yours truly, "(Sd.) E. EMBERLEY." New Austrian Railway. Hitherto tourists from the United States who chose the southern trip to Europe left the steamer at Glabraltar or Naples, but many, chiefly those who had already been in Italy, now come to Tristle and continue from here their voyage by the new Austrian coast. The can have had a more beautiful country than the regions which are made accessible by this new Transalpine railroad. The new railway is owned by the state, and is 130 miles long. There are 49 tunnels, with a total length of ten miles. There are 50 bridges, one of which, across the river Isonzo, has the longest stone span in the world. There are, besides, as many as 678 smaller bridges and viaducts.—Consular Reports. Sheer white goods, in fact, any fine wash goods when new, ovew much of their attractiveness to the way they are laundered, this being done in a manner to enhance their textile beauty. Home laundering would be equally satisfactory if proper attention was given to starching, the first essential being good Starch, which has sufficient strength to stiffen, without thickening the goods. Try Defiance Starch and you will be pleasantly surprised at the improved appearance of your work. Buildings for Canal Workers. The federal government has put up four buildings on the canal zone and put them in charge of the Young Men's Christian association. They will be used as men's clubs for the workmen on the Panama canal. Four other similar buildings are to go up in the near future. "He is a wonderfully impressive man." "Yea. He is one of these people who will say 'It is a beautiful day' in such an impressive manner that you like giving him personal credit for the weather." No pipe to connect, nothing to set up no foundation to make, no experience required. It is the most practical engine for the farmer, because it is always ready, compact, adjusted and can be moved anywhere. The price is right—the quality is the standard of the U. S. Government, who use it. Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twentytwo per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year; thirtyseven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen! We do not hesitate to say that a timely use of Castoria would save a majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium, or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operates exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chas. H. Fletcher. Castoria causes the blood to circulate properly, opens the pores of the skin and allays fever. 900 DROPS MASTER ALCOHOL 3 PER CENT.

Down, of Philadelphia, Pa., says: "I have prescribed your Castoria in my practice for many years with great satisfaction to myself and benefit to my patients." Dr. Edward Parrish, of Brooklyn, N. Y., says: "I have used your Castoria in my own household with good results, and have advised several patients to use it for its mild laxative effect and freedom from harm." Dr. J. B. Elliott, of New York City, says: "Having during the past six years prescribed your Castoria for infantile stomach disorders, I most heartily comment its use. The formula contains nothing deleterious to the most delicate of children." Dr. C. G. Sprague, of Omaha, Neb., says: "Your Castoria is an ideal medicine for children, and I frequently prescribe it. While I do not advocate the indiscriminate use of proprietary medicines, yet Castoria is an exception for conditions which arise in the care of children." Dr. J. A. Parker, of Kansas City, Mo., says: "Your Castoria holds the esteem of the medical profession in a manner held by no other proprietary preparation. It is a sure and reliable medicine for infants and children. In fact, it is the universal household remedy for infantile ailments." Dr. H. F. Merrill, of Augusta, Mo., says: "Castoria is one of the very finest and most remarkable remedies for infants and children. In my opinion your Castoria has saved thousands from an early grave. I can furnish hundreds of testimonials from this locality as to its efficiency and merita." Dr. Norman M. Geer, of Cleveland, Ohio, says: "During the last twelve years I have frequently recommended your Castoria as one of the best preparations of the kind, being safe in the hands of parents and very effective in relieving children's disorders, while the ease with which such a pleasant preparation can be administered is a great advantage."

This is an interesting city in many respects and in some unique. It is the second largest city in our state, the largest in the interstate Tricities. Here dwell nearly 2,000 colored citizens. Some are doing nicely. There are two churches, the A. M. E. presided over by Rev. D. Holmes, a bright young man, the A. M. E. pastor, the old friend, Rev. W. Paulillus, and each reports an era of success. Each has a good choir and Sunday school. The Baptist is the largest, and we found the school well taught and bright in the lessons. The colored men have organized a new secret society known as the Elks Lodge, with fifty-four members. They seem to be very active and progressive. They give their first purpose this week, and they are largely attended and financial success. Lindsay's statue is still in the saloon. Lindsay's statue is doing well. Geo. Walker still runs the billboard hall and barber shop and seems to be doing well. Mrs. Vina Murrell is keep a rooming house.

Outing city bus, he only lived our city. He will soon leave for New York. He is saving his money. Our old friend, C. R. Bradford, is working at the Commercial club room. There are many other people in Davenport that we should mention, but time will not permit it now. Rock Island is an interesting town lying on the east bank of the Father of Waters, watching Davenport. Here we find about 900 colored people, two churches, the McKinley Baptist, the largest, pastored now by Rev. R. A. Broyles, a new man; the Wayland Chapel, pastored by a man; the mail force James Tolliver has recently been appointed city scavenger. He is doing well. Wm. Taylor and M. R.

Here we find one of the greatest factory and art companies in America. Some of the inmates men work there daily. It is a great sight to hear the whistles, hundreds of them, blowing at the same time. We have about 900 employed people here. Many are employed in these workshops. In fact there ought to be twice as many more and we hope our people will learn some trade and become serviceable.
