(Special) Below, publish a letter sent us by Lawyer Wilbush, one of Des Moines' highly esteemed patent lawyers. It is good. Senator Tillman's talk and the manner by which the audience treated and encouraged the audience in a desCRIPTION of Sabath for which Des should blush. It is true the race problem had its beginning after the immortal Declaration of Independence was declared. The big hwarmer of America, the big liberty of liberty therein set forth is still our standard of equal rights. But when our foresathers formulated the Constitution and ignored God and established slavery they committed a national sh. God's laws are immutable and a nation must stone for a national sh as well as an individual town, personal sh.

Mrs. Herford came to our city urday for a short visit with daughter, Mrs. Evelyn Norris, Messrs. T. H. Sturgis and Tillman, after being questioned, admitted our amended constitution now makes no race condition as to the scope of civil and religious liberty of the people, and in the manner and words of an anarchist and in defiance of the Declaration of Independence and our constitution he said his state nullified the equal rights annunciated and guaranteed thereby. He the true it might have been better to quality the right of suffrage to the liberated slaves. But the states can do that without defying and nullifying the constitution as it was written in the broad principle of righteousness as set forth in the constitution, and that are in harmony with our Declaration of independence. When the colored men are numerically stronger than the white men in any society, they are valued and intelligent and brave enough to exercise their rights as guaranteed to them by the Constitution what will become of Tillmanites? Or will Tillmanites have power to re-establish slavery or exterminate it? Or will Tillmanites have power to seduce the slave and fressonable vulgar harangue did it not favor restoration of slavery or extermination? If not, why did he say they were in better condition as slaves than now and why did he say they were dredged and that a dead Indian was better than a live one? Thomas G. Orwitt Des Moines, Iowa, July 8, 1907. IR J. N. CURTLEY. HONORED A. Former Des Jolines Jan. "The Westerner," of Spokane, Washington speaks in high praise of Mr. Curtley, he having lived in our city nearly all his life. It has this to say: "I. N. Curtley is one of the most tireless workers in Spokane. he is one of those quiet determined chivalrs who believe in action to gain results; when he was made noble grand of the Odd Fellows Lodge of this city it was impossible to have meetings, many and many of the nights that he had gone to the lodge room only to be disappointed, finding it impossible to obtain a quorum Spokane to day owe to his efforts, to his personal sacrifice, a debt it can never pay, that debt for building up and to maintain one of the most flourishing Odd Fellows Lodges in the country to day. The lodge has sought to show its appreciation of him by keeping him indefinitely in the Grand Master's Chair and he has suly served this office three terms. Mr. Curtley received an unexpected reward upon the occasion of the public installation of officers of this noe. 4,704 I. O. F. a handsome gold head black cane by his brother Odd I'elow and friends throughout the city, this was done to show their appreciation for the excellent services rendered."

People are very often disappointed to find that family physician is away from home when they most need his services. Diseases like crampic colic and cholera morbus require prompt treatment, and have in many instances proven fatal before medicine could be procured or a physician summoned. The right way is to keep at hand a bottle of Chamberis's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. No physician can prescribe a better medicine for these diseases. By having it in the house you escape much pain and suffering and all risk. Buy it now; it may save life. For sale by all driggs.a. Mr. Kriei Martin spent the fourth in Oakaloosa.

Sullivan, and their siding elder, Rev. Geo. W. Gaines, a most unique reception in honor of his 40th year in the 'ministry' at the church, which was most beautifully decorated for the occasion. Addresses were made by Revs. Wilson, Wade and Graves of St. Paul and Mr. A. B. Sullivan, Rev. Gaines was lauded for the bishopic. The response of course was made in his usual effective way by Dr. Gaines himself. The choir rendered several selections, with a solo by Mr. Burke. An elegant supper was served in courses in the vestry of the church. At a late hour, the choir presented homes, being delighted with the evening's entertainment. Betheda Baptist church is again without a pastor and it seems a hard matter to keep one. Rev. Boone resigned and has returned to his home in Chicago. James church has been reseated with a excellent news, which adds much to its beauty. Why is it that some people are so wise and others are not? I mean in their own estimation. The Loyal Legion of Labor held their educational session at Betheda Baptist Church Sunday afternoon. Mrs. B. Sullivan, the pastor and friend of our race, was the speaker of the afternoon. St James choir们 have treat- ed themselves to some new books and using, "just like mother used to sing." * Wade. Wade entertained the members of her Mite Missionary society Tuesday afternoon.

I find Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy to be the best remedy in the world," says Mr. C. L. L. Chamberlain. "My advice is to colic and diarrhoea. Last spring it seemed as though I would die, and I think I would if I hadn't taken Champlain's Remedy. I haven't been troubled with it since until this week, when I had a very severe attack and took half a day to recover. I have been burglar's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and this morning I feel like a new man." For sale by all druggists. extravagance In Dress. Very few persons outside of the glittering circle of our enormously rich families, who constitute what is referred to as "the best society," can understand how any young woman in this or any other country can spend upon her wardrobe such vast amounts of money, and be enabled by the daughters of some of these families. The history of the world does not show such reckless extravagance in the way of dress. Nor, for the matter of that, does the history of the world show so riotous use of money as that practiced by our very rich in their strictly social diversities, in their own self-esteem, an who is not tempted to such foolish indulgences, which take the edge from life's real joy! Fled from Gas. "I had a friend," said the bearded man, "who got out of paying a bill he owed in an original way. When the collector arrived he sent word to him that he would see him in a few minutes. Then he went into the parlor, shut the doors carefully, turned on every blessed burner in the chandelier, came quickly out, and had his man show the bill collector in the parlor while he hurried upstairs. Do you remember the few times the uses for him to come down? Not on your photograph. He fled from that gas filled room in about two seconds by the clock. If he had stayed three he'd have been suffocated." Good Enough for the Dog. Bobby's mother was often distressed by her small son's lapses from correct speech, all the more because his ports from school were always good. "Bobby," she said, plaintively, one day, "why do you keep telling major to 'set up' when you know 'all up' is what you should say?" "Oh, well, mother," Bobby answered-nastily, of course "I have lots of grammar, but I don't know when he doesn't know the difference, being a dog." "Youth's Companion. Speaking of Fathers. Two kids had been engaged in a heated argument over the respective merits of their stress, when Johnnie clinched his argument with the following: "Huh, that's nothing! My father was, in the army, and once, when he was standing on a hill beside a cannon, a war came up the hill, and he fired the cannon and killed the whole war."-Judge's Library. Hope. "Woman is naturally more hopeful than man," began the morallist. "Yes, interrupted the plain man. "There's my wife, for instance; every time she has had an argument with him since we started housekeeping she has asked her dealer if they were fresh, hoping, I suppose, that some day he'll say no." Each to His Trade. "I'm more useful than you are," posted the dog. "Yes." replied the bulldog. "You don't say?" "Yes. you should see me go for the sheep when they start to run away." "Well, wait until some tramps come long here and when they start to run watch me go for the calves." CLEAN CLOTHES SHOP ```markdown ``` NOT ALL A COMPILIMENT. Wife's Pride in Husband's Success Had a Tinge of Regret. The doctor and his wife had lived together four years. She was a widow when he met her, and a man racer. Their life together was a happy one and no quibbling had entered the home to set a bad example for their hopeful. But the wife had a reputation as a wit. Her witticism and little sarcastic remarks were known far and wide. Her friends had all heard of them. They had all felt the sting of them. The physician had been working day and night at the home of his patient and had won the fight for life. And he was accordingly well satisfied with himself. On his arrival home one evening he turned to his wife, saying: "You see, wifey did I have pulled my patient through. He is now well on the road to recovery." "Yes, hubby, dear," returned the wife, "but you are such a perfect man so successful. Ah, I wish that I had met you five years sooner than I did. Then my poor, dear Billy would never have lied." CLEVER TRICK OF THIEVES. Use Offensive Odor of Onions to Aid in Shoplifting. "Iincredible as it may seem," said Lecoq, the detective, "there are a number of shoplifters who steal by the agency of the onion. These abandoned men, before setting up upon their contemplated crimes, eat of raw onions abundantly. Then they stroll into the silversmith's or the haberdasher's or the jeweler's that they propose to rob. 'Show me those large solitaires surrounded with pigeon-blood rubles, please,' says the jeweler thief. The clerk brings forth the trays of gems and, bending over it, the cliff sighs with admiration. His face close to the bright lights again. And the clerk's nostrils quiver and he turns away his head. The inspection of diamonds continues for some minutes. Throughout it the cliff keeps breathing hard, the clerk keeps turning his head away and hence it is no wonder at the day's end that a couple of costly rings are missing." Dog Worth Knowing Two years ago a boy 14 years old named Edward Sweeney, living at Opelika, Ala. was followed home by a small dog. The animal was a bobtail and squint-eyed and by no means good looking, and the boy was laughed at for having him around. Within a week, however, the dog brought home a five-dollar bill in his mouth. The next week he brought a silver dollar. Then he brought a pocket knife, and followed that with a dollar bill. There has hardly been a week in these two years that the dog has not found something. He makes it his business to hunt the streets and highways, and often travels a distance of 30 miles. Up to the present date he has found and brought home $33 in cash, besides many useful things. Women of Yezzo The women of the island of Yezzo, whence it is supposed came the original inhabitants of Japan, have a very peculiar custom of making up their faces to look as though they have mustaches. These women are called Alnus, and upon the upper lip of each Alnus belle is tattooed something that resembles a long, flowing mustache. To possess an artistically tattooed ornament of this kind marks a woman Alnus belle. There is a chance of making a good matrimonial alliance are very small if she is not thus adorned. As a matter of fact, the men of the island choose their spouses more for the beauty of this tattooed design than the grace of form or charm of feature. The Pet Animal Stage. "Why don't you get you a cat?" asked her woman friend. "You wouldn't be half so lonely if you had some little live animal like that always around." "I haven't come to the animal stage yet, thank heaven," she replied. "When men and women lose all hope of human love they go to the animal kingdom, the men to women to the cats; and they are right, perhaps, since faithfulness is to be found mainly among the animals; but as I say, I haven't quite arrived at that stage of the game yet." Her First Impressions. "The first impression is the one you should always go by," the little grass widow advised. "I know by experience. I have never yet had a husband that I liked at first sight. He always had to win me. Then, after I had been married and married certainly my wife, the first impression dislike that on keeping worse and worse till I had to leave him. I shall never marry again," she finished, "unless I fall head over heels in love with him the first minute I meet him." Best Shrub of All. "I see that an eminent physician declares that two hours of sleep before midnight are worth more than six after that hour." "Nonsense! Two hours of sleep after you're called in the morning are worth more than anything else." "Hello!" said the funny man to Finnegan the undertaker. "I suppose your business is dead with you?" "Faith, it's worse than that," replied Finnegan. "Shure, I haven't buried a living" soul in a near mouth. We are constantly adding wings to our castles in the air. It takes a clever woman to convince a man that she knows less than he does. If it wasn't for the mistakes they make some men would never be heard of. The follow who puts his best foot forward doesn't stand so much chance of having his leg pulled. Bookkeepers should be happy. A machine has been invented that will do all their work and they can "lay off." Earthquakes have jolted the earth away from the sun, says one scientist. They don't think so on the equator, however. A scientist has discovered that bullets carry disease germs. This should induce humans to drop the habit of stopping them. A San Francisco bell-boy found a wallet containing $3,250 and returned it to the owner. He must have been a stranger in the city. A Philadelphia clerkyman married a couple in one minute and forty seconds, but you can bet they were not Philadelphia people. President Fallieres, of France, is exceedingly thrifty. He spends as little as possible of his liberal allowance of $600,000 per annum. New Zealand, the land of social experiments, is having its labor troubles. It is difficult to get away from human nature even in Umpia. Ellen Terry says women are happier with husbands younger than themselves. No doubt, it is the motherly instinct coming into play. The word "thousand" on the new $1,000 American silver certificates is said to be mis-spelled, but the average workingman will never notice it. The Gen.

Centerville—While with a serenading party to charivari George Horn and his bride at the J. F. Hizenbaugh home, three miles north of Plano, Clyde Hizenbaugh received a gunshot wound in the groin which will cause his death. The shot was fired by the bridegroom, who had repeatedly warned the serenaders to desist from the noise and confusion they were mak- POVERTY CAUSES SUICIDE. Hiram Mason of Altoona Shoots Him self in Barn. Altoona—Broken in spirit and purse, Hiram Mason of Altoona put his pistol to his head and blew out his brains. He died in the presence of his son Cletus four hours before the atherif was to have put his house and home on sale for debt. The suicide, who was one of the best known men in Polk County, lailed a note on the breakfast table which urged his wife not to let Cletus leave Young Hixenhaugh, with a party of several young men, went to the J. F. Hixenhaugh home, where Mr. and Mrs. George Horn were boarding, they having been married in Ottumwa last week. They surreptitiously put the bride house and bedroom to present themselves and give the crowd a treat. Mr. Horn refused to show himself and the company of young people commenced to make deafening noises with all kinds of modern charivari instruments. Mr. Horn opened an upstairs door, leave the premises and when they refused to do so shot into the crowd the full charge of shot entering the body of young Hixenhaugh. This put a stop to the charivari and Hixenhaugh was taken home and a physician called, who stated that it would not be possible to discover the full extent of the injury that it will doubtless prove fatal. Mr. Horn is a well respected citizen in that community, is a school teacher who has taught in the country schools of the county for many years, and is a gunman in the shooting and says he intended to shoot into the air merely to frighten the boys so they would leave, but the sentiment in the community is against him for shooting at all. No arrest has been made, the police waited to see what will be the result of Hixenbaugh's wounds. TREE HURLED INTO HOME. Great Branch Torn Off And Sent Through Wall. Newton--While Ira Huddestone and the members of his family sat speculating about the force of the wind, their opinions were suddenly given definiteness by the crushing of a huge tree limb into the room where they were. Torn from the tree by the cyclone which visited the neighborhood an enormous slide of the house right into the sitting room of the Huddestone residence, ich is three miles 9th of the city. There were several tree limbs thinned to the full of the house on the second floor, but the one below was the largest. It made a hole through which a large man could easily crawl. A barn of the Huddestone place was up by the cyclone and borne forty rods. This was the catte barn. In another building the farmer keeps his horses. The end of this was blown out and several boards hurled into the stalls, but they missed the animals, which were un Other freaks of nature were performed at the farms of John Kling where his kitchen was form of Drew, who lost his front and porch in the same way. Howard Jacobs had a $200 horse killed and other farmers south of the city lost their lives. In the city no great harm was done by the storm. Shot By Accident: Ask $8,000. Grinnell--Injured a year ago in a shooting accident, Ray Whitmore, through his parents, has entered suit for damages of $8,000 against Eugene Grinnell, who filmed one for $1,000 for hospital and other services, and $7,000 for the injury, which is thought to be permanent. Both boys, who are about 16 years old, were out shooting, when by accident they were hit. The went off, the shot entering the right side of his companion. He was taken home, but never fully recovered and now his right side is completely paralyzed. The mother, J. F. Whitmore, is a prominent spiritualist, while E. E. Day is a wealthy and well-known Grinnell resident. Indiana Man Fatally Injured. Indianaola—His team of mules becoming frightened in an unknown manner, Marlon Ogle, a well-known farm farmer, probably fatally injured. Ogle had just purchased a load of lumber for some improvements upon his farm and was leaving town with his cargo when the accident occurred. He was taken to the arm, a dislocated hip and internal injuries, the extent of which cannot yet be ascertained. The injured man is a middle-aged adult who lives in a solitary life upon his farm some miles south of the city. Ft. Dodge—Cleaved in half as neatly as though done with a huge sharp knife, the home of Charles Jones was split in two by a lightning bolt. Five members of the family sleeping in the place escaped death by a miracle, and the family was taken to the chimney. The bolt parted the house from the chimney to the cellar, separating it exactly through the middle. A gap two feet wide was made. The residence remained in two divided halves long enough for the family to crawl in and be rubbed together into a heap of rulers. Masonville Bank Robber Caught? Beloit, Wis.—Suspected of robbing the farmers' Savings bank of Masonville long ago for the last March, a man calling himself Woodrow rested here on suspicion. He was traced to this city at the time of the crime but escaped. He will be taken to Chicago by Detective Sergeant home and identified there as the robber. Footwell postdates in 1899 will be brought to Masonville to stand trial. He was arrested by Cal Broughton. Hiram Mason of Altoona Shoots Himself in Barn. Altoona,—Broken in spirit and purse, Hiram Mason of Altoona put a pistol to his head and blew out his bruins. He died in the presence of his son Cletus four hours before the sheriff was to have put his house and home on sale for debt. The suicide, who was one of the bloodshed of Polk County, laid a note on the breakfast table which urged his wife not to let Cletus leave the home that day. Then he went out to the barn. He noted the note and followed the old man out. He asked about the fatter and talked for a few minutes about the property. Then he said saying: "Breakfast is ready. Better come, I will go to the house toward the house when the sound of the shot rang out. Rushing back he saw his father fall to the ground. J. C. Gilbert, a family friend, who had come up, also witnessed the suicide. Death was instantaneous. The news of Mason's self-inflicted death shocked the community profoundly. For many years he has been prominent first as a large landholder and then as a businessman in Altoona. He was known to /the whole countryside as well as to hundreds of Des Mofnes residents. Of recent years he had not been prosperous in business in Altoona, in doing so Mr. Daniel Pelan of Des Mofnes had secured a judgment for $15.51 against him and won again when the case was taken to the supreme court. It was to satisfy this the sheriff's sale was to take place. WERE THEY BRIBED. Sensation Developes In Federal Court at Cedar Rapids. Dubuque.—A sensation was caused here when it was learned that an effort to bribe the federal grand jury at Cedar Rapids had been made, it is said, by the agents of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad. Judge H. T. Reed has summoned the jurors alleged to be guilty together with the sense of the crime before him and show cause why they should not be punished for their alleged misdeeds. The case in question was one entitled Callaghan vs. the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway company, and it seems that the jury after being acquitted in the case without complaint Judge Reed decided to return a verdict that it was unable to agree. The judge is said to have roundly scored the panel or its action and sent them back, only to have the body returned with the verdict. There is an insignificant sum in favor of the plaintiff. Shortly after this, it is said, a member of the jury openly asserted that members of the jury had been bribed. Then in order to show that they had not been bribed the jury is said to have found heavy verdicts in other railroad cases against the Northwest, and the judge then ordered a new trial, as held the verdict was not a fair one. The claim agents said to be involved in the affair are all prominent and a sensation is expected when the men appear. CAPTURE 116 ITALIAN8. Deputy Game Warden March Them Overland to Jail. Rock Rapids—Hot, tired and dusty, with feelings difficult to state, even in Italian, 116 sons of Rome were marched into Rock Rapids under guard of twenty-five deputy sheriffs hastily impaneled for the purpose. The swarthy prisoners have been accused of being quail and the company was caught with several hundred of these and other game birds in their possession. The wholesale arrest was made at Alvord on the line of the Great North Atlantic, and the company was working, and where, according to report, they have been slaughtering game by the car load. The march here, fourteen miles across country, was the strangest prosecution. The Lyon county ever wetted the company, and guarded the company were on the alert throughout, for running through their minds were many tales of the Mafia, of the black hand, of stealthy men, under the fifth rib—suspicious unwarranted, for the prisoners made no trouble. Arrived here, considerable of a quandry presented itself. The jail would hardly hold them all and a sort of temporary prison was extemporized during the outskirts of the prisoners, who swore softly at their cantors. Board Turns Down Bills Atlantic—The new board of supervisors met and refused to allow the bill of Attorney J. B. Rockefeller for the service in assisting County Attorney Goodpeed in his prosecution of the Hollen case, and also refused to pay George Pennell for Sunday work in his office. He was also head of supervisors. County Attorney Goods says that both bills will be paid, if he has to pay them himself, and that the investigation of the books will be continued regardless of the action of the board. Rattlesnake Bite Was Fatal. Coneville—Thomas Schilling is lying at the point of death as the result of a rattlesnake bite. Schilling was out camping and while walking through the weeds he stumbled and fell. He thrust out his hand to save him. He snapped the snake. Madened by the blow the snake stantly turned and struck. Schilling showed his nerve by killing the snake after it had bit him. Moulton Girl Burns to Death, Centerville. -Miss Cora Turner of Moulton, aged 17, died as the result of burns caused by pouring kerosene on the kitchen fire while getting sup- per.

The woes of the amateur gardener are very amusing to others, but decidedly real to the man who has spoiled a suit of clothes, blistered his hands and lost his temper in his efforts to make things grow. A young man, recently married, early in the spring secured a suburban place, mainly with the idea of "fresh, home grown vegetables. Every evening he would hurry up to supper in the garden, his garden, he displayed more energy than skill. But, alas! When many little green things began to break the ground in his neighbors' gardens, his own remained as bare as the Sahara.

"Perhaps the seed were reflective, the friend suggested, "it was that," the gardener replied, "for I got the very best—paid 15 cents a can for them." LIFE INSURANCE A SACRED TRUST. Responsibilities of Officers and Directors. Evidently President Kingsley of the New York Life Insurance company has learned the great lesson of the times with respect to the responsibility and duty of directors of corporations. Speaking to the new board of trustees, on the occasion of his election to the presidency, he emphasizes the fact that "life insurance is more than a private investment; that life insurance are public servants, charged at once with the obligations of public service and with the responsibilities that attach to a going business which at the same time must be administered as a trust." He also realizes that similar responsibilities rest upon the officers of the company. "I understand," he says, "your anxiety in selecting the men who are day by day to carry this burden for you, who are to discharge this trust in your behalf, who are to administer for the benefit of the company in involving them and exact details to which it is impossible for you to give personal attention. My long connection with the New York Life—covering nearly twenty years—my service in about every branch of the company's working organization, gives me, as I believe, a profound appreciation, not merely of the heavy burden you have placed on my shoulders, but of the standards of efficiency, the standards of faith, the standards of faith must be maintained at all times by the man who serves you and the policyholders in this high office." Best of all, perhaps, he feels that words are cheap, and that the public will be satisfied with nothing short of performance. "My thanks, therefore," he continues, "for an honor which outrankes any distinction within the reach of my ambition, cannot be expressed in words; they must be read out of the record I make day by day." "Soap Bubble Hanging from a Reed." Our life is by a soap bubble hanging from a reed; it is formed, expands to its full size, clothes itself with the loveliest colors of the prism, and even escapes at moments from the lace of gravitation; but in outturn the black speck and the globe of emerald and gold vanishes into space, leaving behind it nothing but a simple drop of turbid water. All the poets have made this comparison, it is so striking and so true.

To calculate the rate of flow of an arsenic well a simple plan is to lower a bottle of aniline fluid to a depth of say 500 feet and then electrically explode a cap to burst the bottle. The time required for the fluid to appear at the surface gives an accurate gauge as to the velocity of flow. It is claimed that this method gives results as accurate as a weir. The diameter of the pipe being known, the rate of flow readily follows. Careful Public Guardian.

"We cannot keep Grape-Nuts food in the house. It goes so fast I have to hide it, because the children love it so. It is just the food I have been looking for longs; something that I do not have to stop to prepare and still is nourishing." Grape-Nuts is the most scientifically made food on the market. It is perfectly and completely cooked at the factory and can be served at an instant's notice, either with rich cold cream, or with hot milk if a hot dish is desired. When milk or water is used, a little sugar should be added, and the natural grape-sugar, which can be seen glistening on the granules, is sufficiently sweet to satisfy the palate. This grape-sugar is not poured over the granules, as some people think, but exudes from the granules in the process of manufacture, when the starch of the grains is changed from starch to grape-sugar by the process of maceration. This effect is induced by digestion; therefore, Grape-Nuts food is pre-digested and is most perfectly assimilated by the very weakest stomach. "There's a Reason."

DEFENDANT PROVES GOOD WIT NESS IN OWN BEHALF, HE DENIES ORCHARD'S TALE Becomes Miner at 9 Years of Age Under His Father, Who Was Engaged in Same Work. Boise, Idaho, July 12—William D Haywood took oath yesterday, a witness in his town defense, and in a lengthy narrative of his life and his work as a leader of his fellow miners that was interrupted by adjournment, dened gullet of the murder of Frank Steenmenberg and the manifold crimes charged against him by Harry Orchard. Haywood was pale and trembled with nervousness when he left the table of his counsel and walked around to the elevated witness stand where he faced the judge and jury and raised his right hand to be sworn. When he began to respond to Clarence Darrow's questions his voice was low and somewhat uncertain, within ten minutes he had regained his composure and for the rest of the afternoon he was master of his selfless deeds. Haywood began with toll at the age of 9 and gave the history of his family, his invalid wife, who sat just to the left of the witness stand and began sobbing softly. Her mother-in-law and her nurse soon comforted her, however, and did not leave the witness stand and the rest of Haywood's kins folk remained but deeply concerned auditors. Haywood's testimony was chiefly characterized by positive denials of the allegations made against him by the prosecution. He denied that he met Orchard until some time later, and denied that he sent Orchard back to Cripple Creek to slow up the Independence station. He denied participation in the Lita Gregory murder and denied suggestive or discussing the Stuenenberg murder. He swore that he never gave any purpose. He declared that he never made a threat against Stuenenberg, who, he said, he regarded only as he did any politician who was being swayed by capitalistic influence. The direct examination had not reached the connection, and he denied the federation after Stuenenberg was murdered, when adjournment interrupted it. The state completed the cross-examination of Charles H. Moyer at noon and in dealing with his testy mary directed its strongest attack on the federation at the suggestion of Jack Simpkins, came to the relief of Orchard when he was arrested for killing Stuenenberg. Senator Borah, who conducted the examination, emphasized the connection and the fact that the federation without inquiry as to the guilt or innocence of Orchard, gave $1,500 from its treasury to provide for his defense. He also devoted many questions to the fact that the federation was charged with killing Adams, who is charged with killing two claim jumpers at the installation of Jack Simpkins. Moyer denied knowing anything about the $100 that Haywood sent to Jack Simpkins a letter, which was written and assassinated, which is traced to Orchard by an unsigned note he got at Cald well jail, and a coincidence of dates ITO SUSPICIOUS. Japanese Leader Admits Feeling Mis giving Tokio, July 12.—The massing of the American fleet in the Pacific about which American papers have appealed to Marquis to for an opinion, is being organized in its own administration organ yesterday. The paper says: "We cannot help feeling more misgiving with regard to the significance of the intended massing of American battleships in the Pacific, especially in view of the grandiose announcement attributed to President Roosevelt to the United States to furnish the world with a startling demonstration of America's defensive capacity. It is difficult for us to accept the assurance that the coming maneuvers do not possess any connection whatever with the Japanese-American situation. We regret that Washingtons resembled a precautionary measure. However we are not disposed to attach serious importance to this matter and have no inclination to doubt the president's sincerity in assuring the peaceful nature of the proposed maneuvers. Neither have we the slightest sentiment of American friendly sentiments of the American people toward whom Japan's blame is probably due are the irresponsible sections of both nations." Bryan Is Suspicious. Bryan is Suspicious Carthage, Jap. — Jap. Japan does not want to make war on the United States," William J. Bryan, in an interview here yesterday is quoted as saying, "Of course," he continued, "there is a lot of jungle in this Japan war talk, and the hurrying of warships to Pacific coast. To the object to repel an expected attack of the Japanese, but the talk is being made by some alleged stateman at Washington to influence congress to make a big naval extension appropriation. I say Japan does not want war. I do want war." Japan I talked with the leading men of all walks of life, and I found one expressions of friendship for our country." Mayor-Elect Admits Guild. —Dr. Charles Boxon, the temporary mayor of San Francisco, on the witness stand in the Glass trial yesterday after noon, told the stary of his debauchment by Theodore H. Halsey, the fugitive telephone company, who, he testified, paid him $5,000; "mostly in $100 bill" for having voted and used his influence as a supervisor against the granting of a rival franchise to the Home Telephone company.

Good Joke Played in Old Days on Would Be Fashionable. Old Camden, in his "Remains," tells a good story of a trick played by a knight upon a would-be fashionable shoemaker. Sir Philip Calthrop joins John Drakes, the shoemaker of Norwich in the time of King Henry VIII, of the proud humor which our people have to be of the gentleman's cut. This knight bought as much fine Freeth tawny cloth as should make him a gown, and sent it to the tailor's to be made. John Drakes, a shoemaker, coming to this tailor's and seeing the knight's gown cloth lying there, bid the tailor buy cloth of the same price and pattern and make it of the same fashion as the knight's. Not long after the knight, coming to the tailor to be measured for his gown, and perceiving the like cloth lying there, asked him was, "John Drakes, the shoemaker, who will have it made of the self-same fashion that you are made of." "Then make him yours of cuts as the sheath make it!" John Drakes to time to go for his gown till Christmas day, when he meant to wear it. Perceiving the same to be full of cuts, he began to swear at the tailor. "I have done naught but what you bid me, quoth the tailor, "for a latchet!" Sir John Drakes, "I will never wear gentlemen's fashions again!" -London T. P.'s Weekly. ALCOHOL IN MEDICINES. Seventy-Five Per Cent of Doctor's Prescriptions Call for It. Now that the National Pure Food and Drugs law is in effect all "patient" medicines in liquid form bear on the label a statement of the percentage of alcohol contained in them. The average amount of alcohol is said to be about ten per cent, some have more and some less, but that is about the average. Alcohol is everywhere recognized as a chemical necessity for the preservation of organic substance from deterioration, and from freezing and it is also required to dissolve substances not soluble in water. But for the use of a small quantity of alcohol in most ready-to-use medicines those preparations which most families keep constantly on hand would likely be decayed or frozen when their use became necessary. Alcohol is an indispensable requisite in the fluid extracts and tinctures which are exclusively used in filling prescriptions written by physicians, and these tinctures and extracts contain from 20 to 90 per cent of alcohol. More than 75 per cent of all the liquid medicines prescribed by physicians contain alcohol in large proportions. Charles A. Rapelye, a leading pharmacist of Hartford, Conn., some time ago examined 25 prescriptions representing a fair average of those written by physicians to be compounded, and none being for specialties. The average amount of alcohol in the whole number was 35 per cent; but of the 25 prescriptions five contained no alcohol, six contained the remaining 20 which did contain alcohol was nearly 45 per cent; or more than four times the probable average alcoholic strength of "patent" medicines. There is some difference of opinion as to whether it is or is not desirable as a stimulant in case of sickness, but there is no difference of opinion as to the necessity for its use as a solvent and preservative in most cases. The attention of the medical world has recently been called to a manifesto issued by prominent London physicians who, while deploring the evils from the use of alcoholic beverages, are convinced "of the correctness of the opinion so long and generally held, that in disease alcohol is a rapland and trustworthy restorative" and that in many cases it may be truly described as life-preserving, owing to the nervous energy, while protecting the nitrogenous tissues. This manifesto which was published in The Lancet, was issued and signed by T. J. McCall Anderson, M. D. Regius Professor of Medicine, University of Glasgow; Alfred B. Harris, William H. Bennett, K.

Moyer went on the stand Wednesday, a witness for his fellow defendant, William D. Haywood, and, besides making positive denial of all the crimes attributed to him and the other federation leaders by Harry Orchard, offered an explanation of his unboltified appearance of the Westerner. Orchard was the defender of Harry Orchard immediately after his at Caldwell for the murder of Steinemberg. Mover swore that it was Jack Simpkins who engaged Attorney Fred Miller at Spokane to go to Caldwell to represent Orchard, then known as Thomas Hogan, and that it was at the request of Simpkins that the witness and Haywood subsequently advanced $1,500 from the funds of the federation to meet the expense of defending Orchard. At various stages of the recital the defense offered a number of demands, including a heretofore undisclosed cipher television headquarters and the union at Silver City, Idaho, covering the moves to protect the federation, which was charged with the crime within a few days after it occurred. Simpkins' Cipher Message. Moyer began by saying that he got his first knowledge of the crime from the Denver newspapers and that on the evening of January 4, five days after the crime, a telegram in the Federation's sipher—a code in which certain numerals represented the alphabet and published the rite of the organization was used to transmit the password to local unions—came from Haywood from Spokane. It was long and the translation was difficult and uncertain, but he and Haywood figured the next day that it was signed by Simpkins and that "Cannot get a lawyer to defend Hogan. Answer." Moyer testified that he was suspicious about the message, the newspapers having already charged the crime up to the Federation, and that he decided to consult John Murphy, general counsel for the Federation, before he took any steps. Correspondence is Produced. Moyer said he left for Chicago that afternoon, but that Haywood took the matter up and opened communication with the union at Silver City and made arrangements to engage Attorney John Nugent to look after the interest of the Federation and defend Orchard if necessary. The defense produced copies of this correspondence and all of it was read into the record. No Hostility to Steenberg. Moyer denied that he had ever discussed any kind of criminal act with Orchard or anyone else, or that he had ever given him a cent for expenses on the trip Orchard made to Oursay as a bodyguard for him. He said that he had no personal feeling of hostility to Steenberg and there were no circumstances that would make him desire the life of John Neville, whom Orchard testified Moyer wanted killed. Moyer made a self-possessed witness and at the end of the long day the defense expressed satisfaction over both his testimony and the probable impression he made on the jur. 294. Louisville, Ky.—A terrific wind storm which burst in the city shortly before five o'clock Tuesday afternoon brought death to one man and injury to several other persons. sons. Many horses and mules were killed, buildings unroofed, smaller structures blown down and unprecedented damage done to shade trees all over the city. The records of the weather bueau show that the maximum velocity of the wind was 68 miles an hour. Jeffersonville, Ind., across the river, escaped the full force of the damage to property in New Albany, estimated at $50,000, the heaviest loss being sustained by the Ohio Falls iron company. Three churches and one schoolhouse were unroofed in New Albany. Killed by Detroit Man's Auto.

VERNON IN GREAT DEMAND. As Much as $10,000 Has Been Paid for One of Them—Craving is Unaryal—Secret of Their Great Value. Washington—Ten thousand dollars seems a fabulous price to pay for an autograph, yet men who can get for nothing the autograph of the greatest potentates on earth will willingly exchange that amount in gold for the signature of William T. Vernon of the United States. Collectors of the signatures of famous men, who will pay high prices for single specimens of those of George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte or Oliver Cromwell, feel their ambition realized if they can connect with one of each, for the autograph of Vernon they have a hunger that ends only with death. And the hunger is universal. Men and women who ordinarily care nothing for the autographs craved by collectors will exchange their all for those of Vernon. Lives are spent in drudgery, men will die, cheat, steal, fight, kill and brave all death in a struggle with no hope and no purpose save that of acquiring as many as possible of these signatures. Vernon is in the autograph business. He makes his living by putting his name on paper. He caters to a clientele that is insatiable. His signatures are all alike, but vary in price from $1 to $10,000, according to the paper on which they are written. He sells them to him down, for the $10,000 kind is ten thousand fold more desirable than the $1 kind. Who is this man Vernon and what is the secret of the great value of his autograph? Those who have a gold or a silver certificate or a national bank note issued by Uclem Sam subsequent to June, 1906, may answer this question by looking at the neat, businesslike signature on the lower left-hand corner, just over the words "Register of the Treasury." This is Vernon, William T. Vernon, the man without whose name Uncle Sam's paper currency and bonds would not pass muster in the world's financial hopper. It mustn't be supposed that Vernon puts his "fist" to every bank or treasury note issued. If he were a man of times past, he would have a hard time doing that. His name is engraved upon a plate from one of several samples which he furnished, and this signature is stamped upon the notes by the wonderful presses at the bureau of engraving and printing, which are grinding out money day and night in a vain at- "DEVIL'S TOWER" A RESERVE. Chimney-Like Mountain Set Aside as National Monument. Sundance, Wyo.—President Roosevelt has set aside as a national monument and federal reserve the great Devil's Tower in Wyoming. Devil's Tower, the most peculiar formation in the west. Two thousand acres surrounding the tower have been withdrawn from settlement and a small national park has been created, with the tower in the center. Devil's tower is a chimney-like mountain of rock rising 800 feet above the surrounding country, and for almost 500 feet is nearly perpendicular and devoid of vegetation or growth. The top of the tower is enough to play a game of baseball upon and is covered with soil formed from disintegrated rock. Two men are known to have climbed the tower at the risk of their lives. One of these, Jack Rogers, an old cowboy, used a number of lassos, which he threw over projecting points 0' rocks, afterward climbing 0' ropes. The other climber was an engineer of the Homestake mining company. The tower stands on the bank of the upper Belle Fonte river and has been a landmark for years. It can be seen from the Burlington railroad, 80 miles away, when the sun is shinning. Devil's Tower is the famous "Iyan Humorist Finally Tired of the Actor's Mock Modesty. A new story is told of Mark Twain, and a good one it is for some people to recall on occasion. Mark was telling stories, strangely enough, and some young gentleman—Perkins, let us call him, after the manner of the very young, was trying to cap them, but he always began with that mock modest preface: "You must have heard this before, Mr. Clemens," repeating the phrase at intervals through his so-called story. Finally he is said to have said this: "Penkins, that's no way to tell a story. One night I was at supper with Henry Irvin, I had the same old trick that you have, Perkins—" You must have heard this before—" You certainly have heard this." He began a story this way, and I said, politely, "No, Irvin, I haven't, though I didn't know of course, what his story was about. After he had used this miserable phrase three times, I said to him, Irvin, I was born and raised tempt to keep pace with the abounding prosperity of the country. But there is work for the register to do, nevertheless. He must sign by hand every registered bond of the United States, and millions and millions of dollars' worth of these have been issued since he took the oath of office in June, 1906. These range in value between $100 and $10,000, the usual denomination being $1,000. He must sign the $10,000 bonds with the same easy non-chalance that he would write his name to be engraved for a $1 bill. He was born-36 years ago in a cabin on a plantation near Lebanon, Mo. of parents who had been slaves. He was born in Lebanon, and sings hay at the age of eight. When Kenneth G. WILLIAM T. VERNON. (Negro whose Signature is in Very Great Demand.) 15 years of age he began his education at a school for negroes in Missouri, finishing his course of study at 15. He taught school in Missouri for six years, and then took charge of a western university, school for negroes at Quindaro, Kan. Mr. Vernon was then the only teacher, and his pupils numbered six. When he left the institution last June he had 14 teachers and 250 pupils. The college property consists of 130 acres of land, with buildings valued at $175,000. He is affiliated with leading negro organizations, has had the degree of master of arts and doctor of law concerned with the construction of an orator, a writer, and a leader of the people up to the light of a higher plane of life, he is classed with the famous teacher of Tuskegee. Karya" of the Sloux Indians, where the evil spirits swelt the Sloux, as well as other northwest Indians, looked upon the mountain as haunted, and it was a place of terror to them. They gave it a wide berth in their view. The formation of the tower is a black basalt molded into regular prismatic columns similar to those in the Giants' Causeway of Ireland. THEATER RUN BY PRIEST8. Twenty-Four Exits One of the Features or a New Chicago Playhouse. Chicago—Chicago's newest play house, the College theater, was dedicated the other night. This theater has been built at St. Vincent college at Webster and Sheffield avenues and will be managed by the priests of that institution. The building cost $300,000. The theater was opened to the public with the performance of "Otheo Viscouse," an opera by Frederick Grant Gleason, a Chicago composer, who died four years ago. The building possesses 24 exits and the deadly emergency exit is not included in the number. In order that persons in the audience may reach these exits as speedily as possible, the aisle space is towards the door. Another feature is the booth of balconies and galleries. In place of these, 28 boxes, 14 of them upper and 10 lower, have been furnished, with a total seating capacity of 250. The principal seating accommodations are on the main floor, which has room for 1,075 persons. "How much do you ask for a bathtub for a child?" "From $1.60 to $10." "W-h-e-w!

It was the desire of a teacher in a negro school to impress upon the minds of the youths the benefits derived at Tuskegee and other seats of learning for the ambitious discourse. One day, in closing a brilliant discourse on this subject, in which Booker T. Washington was set forth as a criterion, she said to one little boy who had evidently heard not a word of her talk. "Now Rastus, give the name of the greatest negro?" The answer was surprisingly forthcoming—"Joe Gans!" 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. Much Money Redeemed. The amount of money which the government is called upon to redeem in the course of the year reaches an almost fabulous amount. In 1804, for instance, it totaled $12,000,000. This redemption is either for the purpose of securing clean, fresh notes or to get change of some other demonination. So Common. "Was no one injured in the railway collision, count?"

At Cape Breton there are immense celleries being worked under the ocean. These submarine mines cover the ocean. The mines are increased steadily. The mines are entered at the shore, and the operators follow the vein beneath the water for more than a mile. It might be expected that the weight of the water would force its way into the mine. The bed of the ocean is as tight as a cement clistern. A sort of fireclay lines the submarine mine and above is held in place and packed down by the water pressure until there is not a crevice nor a drop of water from overhead. Laundry work at home would be much more satisfactory if the right Starch were used. In order to get the desired stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. Strains at a Gnat. The dean of Westminster has refused to admit a memorial tablet which was dedicated to Herbert Spencer into the abby on the ground that he was not orthodox in his Christian belief.

Dawes’ Good Advice to Young Men in Business. ‘This is a hard world in business. It always has been and always will be. ‘Phere are mauy good and generous ‘men in it. There are many who will lend a helping hand to you in your ad- versity, but In the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to got you to embark in speculation with your ttle surplus, and to sell you something which would help you to “easy money.” Be self-reliant. Make your own investi gation into Investments. When you eannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the nancial Aemagogues as you distrust the po- lidieal demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life —first, to give always in proportion to your means to those who are poor er; second, to hold from those. who Would take through force or fraud what you need for yourself and yours. You will then, writes Mr. Dawes in the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only thelr eyes. In this alone you will have-the advantage of them. fp Nn nooo ae mae rn A woman's tongue is only three §nches long, but it can kill a man ali feet high.—Japanese, whet Genus Ail Meas. ‘The colored sunsets and the starry heavens, the beautiful mountains and the shining sea, the tragrant woods and the painted flowers—they are not alt eo beautiful as a woul that Is serving Jesus out of love in the wear and tear of common, unpoetie tfe— Exchange.

Finally his cartridges gave out. He hurried to the nearest keeper and demanded more. ‘There ain't no more, ‘ir! the man answered, ‘No more? Nonsense.
