People are very often disappointed to find that family physician is away from home when they most need his services. Diseases like cramp 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 Chamberlain'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 druggists. WANTED—A good girl or woman for general house work. Steady employment to right parties. Good price. For full particulars write Mrs. J. Jenkins 616 R. Ry., avenue, Moline, Ill. CALL AT THE CLEAN CLOTHES SHOP 310 West Grand Ave. O. B.

Redmon, who has charge of the millinery department of the Tri-State Negro Industrial Exposition and Fair, which will be held at St. Joseph, Mo., Aug. 4th to 9th, inclusive, requesting her and her friends to prepare fancy work to be placed on exhibition at the Fair. This is a splendid opportunity for our ladies to show their skill in all kind of fancy needle-work. The object of the Exposition is to show what the race has accomplished and bring together the the leading men and women. Let Iowa and Des Moines be represented. W. H. MILLIGAN, Grand Master. The above picture is that of William H. Milligan of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, who was for the third time elected as Grand Master of the M. W. U. Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M. of Iowa. He is a gardener by occupation and authority on bee raising and strawberry growing. He lived in our city many years ago and moved from here to Muchakinock where he was elected Justice of the Peace, perhaps the first colored Justice in Iowa. After serving in this office for seven years he was appointed as one of the wardens at the Animosa prison by Marquis Barr and served seven years. He then moved to Cedar Rapids where he now resides. Mr. Milligan was captain of the colored State Maltin here many years ago. He is a fine gentleman to meet and is a representative race man. THE NEW YORK TIMES This is a true likeness of one of the coming young Masons of our state, Herbert E Jacobs. He was born in Richmond, Mo., Feb. 8, 1874; educated in the public schools of Missouri and the High School of Leon, Ia. He came to Des Moines in 1893 and later learnt the printers trade in the Bystander office and now has charge of the composing department. He has held many local offices in North Star lodge No 2, and is considered one of the best cipher ritualistic Masons in Iowa. He is unassuming and progressive. Mr. Jacobs was elected Senior Warden of the Grand Lodge. "LET THE NEGRO ALONE" Under the above heading the Marshalltown Times-Republican has a most splendid view of the race problem, which is the real solution this question as we see it. This is what they say: "The best advice on the Negro question is "let the Negro alone." Do not abuse him and do not overlaud him or fill his head with notions of ideal equality. Both extremes are bad for the Negro and bad for the settlement of the so-called Negro question. He is here and he will remain here. Let him work out his own salvation. Let him alone and he will work out that salvation and he will begin at the right place. The mistake that was made originally was that the theorists of the north placed him on a high pedestal of equality in more senses than before the law, and he could do nothing but tumble off. Having tumbled off, the Negro was by many consigned to the failures of the world and by others, like Tillman, he was denounced and abused and kicked and burned. But let the Negro alone. Let him find his place and his work and let him do it. Let him be treated and respected as he deserves, the same as other men. In that way the worthless members of the race will be eliminated and the useful members will fill their mission in the world. If every white man and every black man will tend to his own business there is no Negro question that need give us a great deal of trouble. But if we continue exalting the Negro on the one hand and burning him on the other, there will some day be an acute racial question." PROTEST RIGHT. The Cedar Rapids Republican express our views in regards to the management of the Chautauqua in bringing the arch enemy of a christian people, "Pitchfork" Tillman, to this city, and that on Sunday. Where is the christian influence? Here is what the Republican has to say: "The colored people of Des Moines filed protest against Senator Tillman speaking in that city, under the auspices of an association which is closely allied with the church life of the city. They are right, eternally right. It is an outrage that such an ignorant mountebank as Tillman should be paid $500 by an intelligent community for delivering attacks upon a certain race. It is in every way discreditable to Chautauquas which permit such things to be done. If such policies are persisted in they will be the undoing of the Chautauqua." P ```markdown ``` H. E. WILLIAMS, Grand Junior Warden. Few men there be in the Masonic lodge in our jurisdiction, who have received such a quick promotion as young Henry E. Williams of Ottumwa. He was born in Chariton county, Mo., in 1869; educated in the public schools and later attended Lincoln Institute where he graduated, and afterwards taught school two years. He came to Ottumwa in 1894 and established a bath house. In 1897 he was employed by the Elks club where he new works. In 1892 he married Miss Mattie Spicer of Dalton, Mo. He is an active Mason and has been Master of Golden Star lodge for three terms. He is a coming young man. State Capital Historical Bldg.

M of Iowa and Jurisdiction was the most successful in point of business done and in the business way the session was conducted. Each committee worked in peace and brotherly love. This meeting would be a credit to any race. H. K. HILLON, Grand Treasurer. There are but few better liked or zealous workers in the Grand Lodge then H. K. Hillon of Omaha, Neb. He is one of Nebraska's reliable and substantial citizens. Mr. Hillon is a tonsorial artist and is making a success at his trade. He is an excellent book-keeper and has held all the offices in his local lodge. He was elected Grand Secretary for two terms and resigned this year on account of his hearing becoming somewhat effected. He was unanimously elected Treasurer The delegates began to arrive Sunday and Monday for the school of instruction and the exemplification of the first rank. Fully forty representatives and visitors were present. The first rank was exemplified by the junior team of Des Moines, composed of John L. Thompson, Leslie Williams, Wm. Buckner, B. J. Hack, George Woods and Claude Harris. The team work was good TUESDAY MORNING SESSION.

The afternoon session was taken up in listening to the G.M.'s annual address and the secretary and treasurer's annual report; also receiving reports from other sister Grand jurisdictions. In the eving a public reception was held at the lodge hall, presided over by Worshipful Master John L. Thompson, in which the printed program published by us last week was carried out. Every number on the program was a credit to the occasion. The address by Rev. J. M. Harris impressed the audience very much. After the literary program was over the entertainment committee headed by James Woods, served refreshments free; after which the reception committee, headed by R. N. Hyde, lined up the delegates and visitors and the large crowd marched around and received introduction. A pleasant time was enjoyed by all. WEDNESDAY MORNING. The first two hours of the morning session was taken up in exemplification of the third rank by a select team from Des Moines and Cedar Rapids. They done well. The lodge proceeded to the work os receiving reports of the different committees.

We have our agricultural schools, just as we have our law schools. It is getting to be a business as well, remarks The World To-Day. Farmers have their trusts, like other manufacturers. It is a far cry from the New England farmer, trying to arrange an exploded granite quarry into a stone wall that he may have room in which to plant his crop, and that master of capital, science and black earth ten feet deep who plows with a traction engine and raps with a ten-horse team. And between these two types of farmers the drift is steadily toward the latter. The comic paper does not laugh at the "granger" as frequently as it used to laugh. It wants his subscription. The capitalist does not foreclose mortgages on the prairie farm now. He borrows money of its owner. . . The farm is the nursery of individualism. If you are a cliff-dweller in the city send your boy there this summer, and let him see what it means to create wealth with the help of nature rather than with the ticker. You will help make him a better American. Half = Billion for Bridges. Everybody thinks of New York as the city of big constructive performances, and it never disappoints. Here we find big men with big brains and unlimited capital. As one prodigious example, plans are now under way by which within a few years eight mammoth bridges, affording by far the greatest centralized traffic facilities in the world, will woke Manhattan island to its suburban shores, says Broadway Magazine. At least one of these big bridges will exceed in size the famous Fort cantilever bridge in Scotland, now the largest on the globe; another will excel in capacity the old Brooklyn bridge, which now has the largest bridge traffic in the world. The biggest bridge, which, of course, will span the noble Hudson, may cost anywhere between $50,000,000 and $100,000,000, while the other structures will run the aggregate cost of New York's bridges up to about $250,000.00. About 1915 New York's total bill for bridges and tunnels will approximate a round half billion of dollars—all spent to aid transportation in and out of the first city in America. Six more years must pass before the great memorial to Queen Victoria, which is to be erected in front of Buckingham palace, can be completed. Slow progress on the gigantic work for the last six years has caused much public criticism from time to time, and the king, it is said, recently expressed himself as disappointed that greater progress had not been made. Leading sculptors, who are familiar with the magnitude of the undertaking, say that it cannot be completed before 1913, and that 12 years is not much time to put on a piece of work of such size and magnificence. The central figure of the memorial will be a statue of Queen Victoria, 13 feet high, dressed in her robes of state, seated amid groups symbolic of the personal and imperial qualities which made her-reign so illustrious. On her right will be Justice, on her left Truth, and at her back Motherhood. The memorial will contain 12 great groups of figures and 180 panels. The pedestal, with its plinth, will be 70 feet high. The cost has been fixed at $1,250,000. A Fair Census. In Washington the census bureau is even now making preparations for the national census to be taken in 1910. It is a vast work, involving infinite detail, and must be carefully planned. The millions of people who inhabit the United States are to be enumerated, together with the livestock, and comprehensive reports also are sought on the innumerable industries of the country, its development and resources. That all of this can be done with absolute accuracy is out of the question, but that it can be done in a far more thorough manner than the census records of the past bear out in many, many instances is certain, says Poppyland. The faithful enumerators are in the minority, and in self-protection the interested public should see to it that returns as nearly correct as it is humanly possible to make them should be sent to Washington for final summing up and publication. Woman clerks in Washington are very proficient in counting money. They do not have to take any civil service examination for that. It is one of the gifts that nature gives to them at the same time it hands them bewitching dimples and fuzzy hair. Mark Twain is said to have expressed a desire for a funeral procession five miles long, and as he will be in no hurry to reach the cemetery he'll probably want to occupy the last carriage in the line. Those persons who live in the very heart of charming rural simplicity can't help thinking as they see the summer boarders coming out where it is hot and dusty what a fine time a person could have spending a, vacation in an ice cream parlor with electric fans running in every corner. Having succeeded in getting the douma off his hands the carr will have nothing to do for the next few soothes but keep cool and avoid the bomb throwers. IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence Through-out the Commonwealth. RAILROADS ARE SUED. Claim They Have Violated 28-Hour Stock Shipping Law. Des Moines—Five big trunk line railroads are made defendants in three damage suits which were started in the United States district court by United States District Attorney M. L.

At the time of his death Mr. Lee was head of the Lee Syndicate of newspapers which comprises the Davenport Journal, the Davenport Times, the ianbanal, (Mo.) Courier-Post and the Le Crosse, (Mo.) Tribune. Mr. Lee, accompanied by his wife, daughter, and his wife's mother, Mr. W. Valerio, W. Waler, left here about two months ago for a tour of Europe. JEERED TO HIS DEAT! Iowa City.—Drink, foolhardiness and the taunts of a thoughtless crowd caused the death by drowning of Bohomr Kosderka. His death, which was witnessed by 500 people, came after he swam time after time over the water, but he hurried back by the back current. He dived from the Burlington street bridge, swam down over the dam, was caught in the back current, again and again threw back against the concrete surface. and been drinking, but he realized the foolhardiness of the venture when he dived, for he caught hold of the chains suspended from the bridge, until the taunts of the crowd above caused him to let go. He swam the dam for three days, but until the fatal day the water came out, he was a widower and leaves two girls, the oldest 9. The body has not been recovered.

With flushed faces and wips of hair tossed to the ground, the girls until they were tired. The beer was seized in a restaurant at Dallas Center July 4. Hazleton Plans For Interurban Oelwine - Hazleton capitalists are from Oelwine, not from Hazleton, with the idea of making the latter a residence town for the railroad and business men of Oelwine. The road would be built, and the park would patronize the park at the site of the dam. Gasoline motor type of car is favored for the line, to avoid the expense of putting in an electric For Making False Entries on Books of Seymour Bank. Corydon—LeRoy Ware, cashier of the wrecked Farmers' and Drovers' bank of Seymour, was indicted by the Wayne county grand jury on three new counts. Two are for making false entries on the books of the institution and the third is for uttering false statements to Auditor of State B. F. Carroll. His bond was fixed at $9,000 or $3,000 on each count. Ware was arrested by Sheriff Murick at his house and two bondmen furnished the necessary security to give him his freedom. The grand jury found that Ware had made misleading reports as to the financial standing of the bank to the company and that they actually "doctored" the quarterly statements forwarded to Des Moines. The other two counts are for making false entries on the books of the concern. States that John Culbask is among the twelve men Ware's bond, the other eleven being H. S. Eckles, Adam Burkher, M. Ammons, George I. Silder, Theodore Rosengren, S. N. Bell B. K. Clark, Robert R. N. Davis and George A. Sens. Every effort to induce Ware to make a statement has proven unavailing. Receiver Bird Fry went to Seymour to persuade him to help him inside persuade him to the $250,000 defaulction was accomplished, but Ware maintained a stolc silence. He said the proper time and place would be in court on the wilt and he would not talk until then. Ware is now indicted on seven counts, the other four being for fraudulent banking. His total bond has been placed at $20,000, all of which has been supplied by his bondsmen, who are prominent men of Seymour and Wayne county. The action of the grand jury came as a surprise to Ware, and others would be involved in the case but when Ware refused to tell the body what he knew the hope of indicting others was abandoned. MANY ARE INJURED. Stand Fails at Woodmen Picnic at Humholdt Humboldt—In the crash of the grandstand at the Woodmen picnic, ten people were seriously injured and a score more, mostly women, received minor hurts.

At the completion of the ball game several hundred people who had been around the field rushed to the grand stand to secure scats for the wrestlers, but then the scats to take place on an elevated platform erected just in front of the stand. Four hundred men and women crowded into the stand and at the minute when the wrestlers made their appearance in the ring, the structure swayed, creaked and began to go. At once there was a wild rush onto the platform and this immediately gave way, the occupants being hurled down the stairs. Terrific confusion followed, the shouts of men out in the field mingling with the screams of *victims of the wreck. Frank Gotch saw his sister, who had once extricated her from the string mass of people and broken beams. She is severely injured. The picnic had been an immense mess and hundreds were in town to attend it. Et. Dodge Doctor Discount Ft. Dodge Doctor disappeared. For Dodge—For over two months died seriously missing from his home. His is shut up, the chickens run about the yard and his horse is in the pasture. His buggy and his harness are just where he left them as he returned from a drive. The refrigerator indicates the bank porch and everything indicates a hurried departure. Dr. Palmer has always been eccentric in character and his absence was not especially noted by his neighbors for some time. He is a user of opiates and has been known to visit the district court when an effort was made to send him to Knoxville. Child Scalded To Death Fort Dodge—Grasping the handle of the coffee pot while its mother's back was turned at the breakfast table, she went ten-months-old in front of Mr. and Mrs. Anderson, preset scalding fluid over its body and died several hours later. Every effort of the doctor to relieve the child provided fufule, the burns being too severe to be relieved.

MORE REBUTTAL HEARD Dolse, Idaho. — Six more witnesses in a rebuttal were put on the stand in the Haywood trial by the state Tuesday. Three testified to conditions in the Cœur d'Alenes in 1899 and three to the situation in Colorado during the strike period of 1903 and 1904. The important witnesses of the day were called to contradict the showing made by witnesses for the defense that there was no reason for the calling out of the militia other than a desire on the part of the mine to drive members of the Western Federation of Miners from the mining district. One flatly contradicted the evidence introduced by the defense to show that the explosion at the Vindicator mine was due to an accident. Aller Is Arraigned. While the big trial was going on in the district court before Judge Fremont Wood, an interesting offshoot of the case was being heard in the small room used as a court by Justice of the Peace Savage. C. W. Aller, the depot agent, who was arrested charged with perjury, was brought before the magistrate for a preliminary hearing. The principal witness in the perjury hearing was Orchard himself. The prisoner was brought in from the penitentiary in charge of Warden Whitty and a penitentiary guard. In the Haywood trial Edward Alvard, a physician of Bourke, one of the mining towns of the Coeur d'Alenes, swore that he saw Orchard on the day of the blowing up of the concentrator at Wardner and that he came from the train returning from Wardner. This train was in possession of the mob that blew up the concentrator and killed two men. Alvard evidence indicated the williness of the defense who said they saw Orchard playing poker on that day at Mullen, several miles away. The claim of the defense is that Orchard was not at Wardner and had no part in the riot. A. T. Holman sware in rebuttal of the testimony of Thomas Wood, a witness for the defense. Wood had said that he saw Beck and McCormick, the two men killed by the explosion at the Vindicator mine, in the eighth level before the explosion, and afterwards found their bodies in the sixth level. He said that Beck carried a revolver on that day and that he saw a box of powder on a water barrel in the eighth level just before Beck and McCormick went up to the sixth, where the explosion occurred a few minutes later. The impression created was that two men carried the powder with the revolver that Beck dropped his revolver, which he carried and the powder went off. This would also account for the finding of the shattered parts of a revolver near the bodies. Orchard sware that he fired the powder with a pistol. Holman was a superintendent of a neighboring mine, and formerly superintendent of the Vindicator. He was one of the first to go down the shaft of the Vindicator after the explosion. His evidence, given largely from a preamble chart of the interior of the mine, contradicted Wood on many points. State Closes Case Bolse, Idaho. — Satisfied that they have made out a strong case against W. D. Haywood, on trial for the murder of Frank Steenumberg, counsel for the state rested Wednesday. Haywood's counsel also say they are content with the evidence they have presented, though a few witnesses may be called in reburial. Judge Fremont Wood has invited argument on his own proposition to eliminate evidence from consideration by the jury. A day will be taken to present the views of both sides as to the instructions to the jury. Andrew John, Seneca Chief, Dies. Washington. — Andrew John, former president of the Seneca Indian nation, died of cerebral hemorrhage Wednesday at the emergency hospital here.

Bankhead to the United Senate to succeed the late Senator SAVED FROM DREAD FATE. Kind Woman's Assistance Meant Much to This Tramp. A certain lady, noted for her kind heart and open hand, was approached not long ago by a man who, with tragic air, began: "A man, madam, is often forced by the whip of hunger to many things from which his very soul shrinks, and so it is with me, the man of pity, you. Unless, madam, in absence, I will be compelled to do something which I never before have done, which I would greatly dislike to do." Much impressed, the lady made haste to place in his hand a five-dollar bill. As the man pocketed it with profuse thanks, she inquired: "And what is the dreadful thing I have kept you from doing, my poor man!" "Work," was the brief and mournful reply—Harper's Weekly. WESTERN MEN IN NEW YORK Brains of Mountain and Prairie in Deand in the Financial Center. Ever since the early days, when D. O. Mills, J. B. Haggin and James R. Reeve "emigrated" from California to New York, the metropolis has been drawing largely on the west and south for its supply of "men who do things." Theodore P. Shonts, both a southerner and westerner, who has undertaken to love the city, is the latest importation in response to the call of the east. The promptness with which Thos. F. Ryan, of Virginia, turned the Equitable Life Assurance Society over to its policyholders, who now elect a majority of its Board of Directors, and divested himself of the cost of Jas. J. Hye, and the success of the new management of the Society under the direction of President Paul Morton, have created a demand for the strong men of the south and west that is greater than ever before. Under the Morton management, the Society is showing that any other insurance company in the way of improved methods, economies and increased returns to policyholders. E. H. Gary, head of the greatest company in the world—the U. S. Steel Co—John W. Gates, Henry C. Frick, Norman R. Ream, Henry D. Dawson, and J. A. are other westerners who are among the biggest men in New York. Her Alm. A man who runs a truck farm in Virginia tells of the sad predicament in which a colored man named Sam Moore, who is in his employ, recently found himself. Sam had had considerable difficulty in evading the onslaughts of a dog from a neighboring farm. Finally the dog got him, as Sam kicked at him. Sam's wife, hearing a tremendous yell, rushed to the rescue of her husband. When she came up the dog had fastened his teeth in the calf of Sam's leg and was holding on for dear life. Seizing a stone in the calf, Sam's about to hurt it when Sam with wonderful presence of mind shouted: "Mandy! Mandy! Don't frow at stone at de dawg! Frow it at me, Mandy!"—Youth's Companion. His Name for It: I was once teaching a class of small pupils in physiology in a rural school and asked the class what name was given to the bones of the head as a whole. A little girl raised her hand. "What is it?" asked. "Skull!" she answered. "Correct," said I; "but what other, name has it?" expecting some one to answer "cranium." All were silent for a while, then a little fellow who seemed to be in a deep study quickly raised his hand, his eyes sparkling and a confident smile spreading on his face. "What is it, Henry?" I asked. "Noggin," was his immediate reply. - Judge's Library. A Square Deal. A certain peasant supplied a baker with three pounds of butter daily, and after some time the baker noticed that the butter never weighed three pounds. At last he summoned him, "Have you no scales at home?" the judge asked, "Yes," said the peasant, "Have you weighs? "Yes, 'but I never weigh butter with them," "Why? "Because, since the baker buys my butter, I buy his bread, and as I always buy three pounds at a time, I weigh the butter with the bread." He was accultured—Slars. A SMALL SECRET. Couldn't Understand the Taste of His Customers. Two men were discussing the various food products now being supplied in such variety and abundance. One, a grocer, said, "I frequently try package or so of any certain article before offering it to my trade, and in that way sometimes form a different idea than my customers have. "For instance, I thought I would try some Postum Food Coffee, to see what season there was for such a call for it. At breakfast I didn't like it and supper proved the same so naturally concluded that my taste was different from that of the customers who bought it right along. "A day or two after, I waited on a lady who was buying a 25c package and told her I couldn't understand how one could fancy the taste of Postum "I know just what is the matter, she said, 'you put the coffee boiler of the stove for just fifteen minutes, and ten minutes of that time it simmered, and perhaps five minutes it boiled; now if you will have it left to boil full fifteen minutes after it commences to boil, you will find a delicious Java-like beverage, rich in food value of gluten and phosphates, so choice that you will enjoy it particularly when you see the great gatsby. Well, I took another trial and sure enough I joined the Postmum army for good, and life seems worth living since I have gotten rid of my old time stomach and kidney troubles." Postmum is no sort of medicine, but pure liquid food, and this, together with a relief from coffee worked the change. "There's a Reason." Read "The Road to Wellville," in pkgs. THE FARMER HELP WANTED FOR HARVESTING Fessor STROUS MERCERIC PROF. HAU'S TRIAL BEGUN WASHINGTON MAN ACCUSED OF MURDERING WIFE'S MOTHER. Before German Court—Defendant Refuses to Explain Many Suspicious Circumstances. Karlruhe, Germany.—A case that has attracted attention in two contents came up for trial here Wednesday when Karl Hau, former professor of Roman law in George Washington university in Washington, D. C., was brought before the bar on the charge of having murdered his mother-in-law, Frau Moultry, a wealthy resident of Baden Baden, in that city, on November 6 last. The selection of a jury occupied only ten minutes, after which the presiding judge put Hau through a searching examination that lasted several hours. Hau was unable, or unwilling to explain many of his actions, with regard to which the prosecution has pursued a careful investigation, such as the wearing of disguises and their secret disposition, and the sending of telegrams to himself. He declined to explain his connection with a telegram asking his wife's mother to come to Paris, and refused also to answer various questions regarding his domestic relations, although repeatedly warned by the judge that he was jeopardizing his case. All together the testimony Wednesday was considered very unfavorable to the defendant. The judge declared that one provision of the will left by Hau's wife, who recently committed suicide, which he read and which provided that her little daughter should assume another name, indicated that Mrs. Hau was convinced of her husband's guilt. Oliga Mollitor, who was with her mother when the murder was committed, told of the shooting, which was done by a man who ran away so quickly that she was unable to recognize him in the dark. The collar of the man's coat was turned up, but the coat she recognized as one similar to that worn by Hau. She did not see the man's face. This witness, who has been mentioned as having had relations with Hau that caused jealousy on the part of Mrs. Hau, gave an emphatic denial to such reports. Various other witnesses were examined and they testified to having recognized Hau in the false beard that he wore at times. Man Killed by Train Robbers Cherryvale, Kan.—Two robbers held up a St. Louis and San Francisco freight train five miles east of Cherryvale early Tuesday, shot and killed O. J. Brown and severely wounded Otis Taylor, harvest hands. The victims were beating their way home to western Kansas after having worked in the wheat fields in the southern part of the state.

Grave of Mrs. Magill Opened with Great Seceracy. Clinton, Ill.—The body of Mrs. Pet Gandy Magill was exhumed with great secrecy Wednesday night and in the cottage in Wooddawn cemetery the vital organs were removed. The organs were taken back to Chicago by Dr. Adolph Gehrman and J. A. Wessner of the Columbus laboratory. The Chicago men arrived at 9:30 and were taken directly to the cemetery, where they found the dishevated skulls of Clinton and physician Drs. C. W. Barnes, J. M. Wilcox, J. C. Myers, George S. Edmundson and C. S. Bogardus, awaiting their arrival. Undertaker G. L. Oakman was in charge of the disinterment, and to avoid the possibility of a crowd gathering about the grave to witness the grewsome sight, the removal of the body was planned quietly. Not even the attorneys for the defense were informed. Policemen were stationed about the cemetery and a number of persons who had "gotten wind" of the plans and hastened to the cemetery were ejected. Before their departure for Chicago Drs. Gehrman and Wessner were seen. They said: "We will subject the organs to a number of tests. They will be, in the main, for strychnine poisoning." RUSSIAN GENERAL BLOWN UP. Alexandropol, Russia—Gen. Alikhanoff, former governor general of Tiflis, Mme. Glebloff, wife of Gen. Glebloff, and the coachman who was driving their carriage were blown to pieces by bombs thrown at their conveyance at 2:30 a.m. m. Tuesday. A son of Gen. Alikhanoff and a daughter of Gen. Glebloff sustained serious injuries. The party was returning to the residence of Gen. Alikhanoff from his club. The bombs were hurled in Bebouto street. Alikhanoff was nicknamed 'The Wild Dog' by Russian members of the lower house of parliament, who often referred to his cruelty in the Kutals district, where he led a number of punitive expeditions to stamp out disorders. His rigorous methods to this and brought down upon him the enmity of the revolutionists. Balloonist's Startling Feat.

Mrs. Emma Stoll, 1089 Oneida St., Ap- plosion. Wis., writes: "Kruna has done me a great deal of good since I began taking it and I am always getting older. I was 15 years ago I was in a wretched condition with backaches, bearing down pains, and at times was no sore and lame that I could not move about. I had inflammation and irritation, and although I used different remedies they did me good. "A neighbor who had been using Pernaa advised me to try it, and I am glad that I did. I began to improve as soon as I took it and I felt much better. "I thank you for your fine remedy. It is certainly a godsend to sick women. Catarrh of the Internal Organs.

Courage of Rescuers Who Plunged Unhesitatingly Into the Turret—How One Man Died. Boston. — Capt. Henry McCrea, of the Georgia, seated in his cabin Wednesday, told about the explosion on the battleship Monday that caused the death of nine men and the injury of 12 others. Said the captain: "I was on the bridge making the run for the practice. I was taking observations of each shot. I saw we were beating the records of the other ships of the fleet. On the bridge I could hear the command from the after turret. So I knew when the next shot was coming. "I heard the shout 'Fire,' but there was no shot, and then I saw men running aft, and quickly the fire hose, that is always laid out in readiness when there is firing on, was manned. "I rushed to the after bridge near the turret to see what was the matter. The water was already being poured into the turret. The boatswain and Midshipman Gravescrow led the way for their men with the hose. I tell you, there was courage! No man knew what had happened and no man knew into what danger he might be rushing. But those men never thought of self, or danger. That brave act will look well on their records. "Probably one little act, or rather one great act, of one of the men, prevented a far greater disaster. I don't know his name. He's dead. He and one other stood by the second gun that had just been loaded. The last powder bag that had been put in was protruding a little from the gun. When he saw the flash, instead of dashing to the ladder to save himself, he crowded home the charge in the gun and with the help of the other men got the gun closed before the flames reached the bag. If the flames had touched that bag there would have been an awful explosion, for the powder was confined in the gun and would not have flashed as the other did, but would have exploded. Not a man in the turret would have been left alive, whatever other damage might have been done. That man gave his life for the others. "I am told President Roosevelt has inquired about a man that gave his life in closing the shutter from the ammunition room to save the ship from blowing up. I would be very wrong to have a story like that go out, because I cannot find that there is any foundation for it, or need for a man to make any attempt to do anything of the sort. But if the president wants heroism let him look up this brave man who, stood by his gun to save the rest." DEADLY HEAT IN PITTSBURG. Ten More Persons Succumb—Intense Suffering In Factories. Pittsburg, Pa—Ten fatalities due to the intense humidity and oppressive heat wave occurred here Wednesday, making over a score of deaths within 36 hours.

A charming hostess of one of the "big houses," as they are called by those who are welcomed into them, has the added beauty of premature white hair. That which seems to her contemporaries an added charm may appear to the crudely young a mark of decline, at least so it appears in one instance of which the hostess herself tells with enjoyment. The lady is a connoisseur of antiques. At one of her teas a debutante rich with the glow of youth, but sadly constrained with her sense of novelty, was handed a cup of tea; the cup was beautifully blue and wonderfully old. The hostess desiring to lighten the strain on her youthful guest by a pleasant diverting remark, said: "That little cup is a hundred and fifty years old!" "Oh," came the debutante's high strained tones: "How careful you must be to have kept it so long!" THE STORY OF A WISCONSIN MAM IN WESTERN CANADA. Three Years Ago Worth Only $2,000; To-Day Is Worth $13,000. The following is a copy of a letter, of which the Agents of the Canadian Government throughout the United States receive similar ones many times during the year: Watertown, S. D. Dear Sir: Your letter dated Nov. 27th at hand and was very glad to hear from you. I see that you are still at work per- suming people to move into the Canadian Northwest. I must tell you that I owe you many thanks for persuading me to come out here, am only sorry that I wasn't persuaded sooner, and there is still plenty of good chances for many more right at the present time. I hope that you will be able to induce more to make a start out to this part of the country. Now I must tell you what I have accomplished since I came out here and it won't be three years till the last of July. I shall shortly receive my patent for my homestead, the homestead cost me $10.00 in all, to-day it is worth $30.00 per acre, it is not for sale. Then a year ago last May I bought 320 acres at $7.00 per acre and sold this fall for $20.00 per acre and cleared a profit of $4,160.00. How is that for the Northwest? I now have 320 acres of land and all paid for, 15 head of horses, 30 head of cattle, 22 pigs, 2 sheep and about 150 chickens and other poultry, and all new machinery and everything is paid for. We also bought 8 lots in Calgary and 7 in High River. We gave $470 for the 15 lots and they are paid for. At present I consider myself worth $13,000.00, and when I left Wisconsin less than three years ago I had about $2,000.00. This year I threshed a little over 4,000 bushels of grain, have about one thousand bushels of fine potatoes and about five hundred bushels of turnips. Mrs. Beisiegel sold about $200 worth of garden truck and poultry this fall. Now there are lots of others in this community who did as well as I did in the same length of time. The family and myself are all well at this writing and hope this letter will find you the same. Yours very truly, (Signed) PHILIP BEISIEGEL, Cayley, Alta, Canada. Mixed Voices.

Many stories are told of the eccentric doings and sayings of an old clergyman who lived in Maine some years ago. At one time there had been a fight among some men, one of whom was seriously hurt. A trial took place, and the old minister who had seen the affray was summoned as a witness. "What was Salson doing?" was the first question. "Oh, he was slashing around." "Well, sir, just what do you mean by that?" "Why, he was knocking about him here and there." "Now, sir, kindly tell us plainly what Salson did to this man." "Why, he—he enticed him," said the old minister slowly. "He enticed him with a crowbar. He used the crowbar to persuade the man—to entice him; and by a series of pokes and blows he succeeded in doing it." said the minister, mildly. SCALY ERUPTION ON BODY. Doctors and Remedies Fruitless—Suffered 10 Years—Completely Cured by Cuticura. "Small sores appeared on each of my lower limbs and shortly afterwards they became so sore that I could scarcely walk. The sores began to heal, but small scaly eruptions appeared. The itching was so severe that I would scratch the sores until the blood began to brow. After I suffered thus about ten years I made a renewed effort to effect a cure. The eruptions by this time had appeared on every part of my body except my face and hands. The best doctor in my native county and many remedies gave no relief. All this was fruitless. Finally my hair began to fall out and I was rapidly becoming bald. A few months after, having used almost everything else, I thought I would try Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Soap. After using three boxes I was completely cured, and my hair was restored, after fourteen years of suffering and an expenditure of at least $50 or $60 in vain endeavoring to find a cure. B. Hiram Mattingly, Vermillion, S. Dak. Aug. 18, 1906." Bill's Reason. Hugo Osterhaus, the new captain of the battleship Connecticut, praised at a dinner in New York the old salt of the past. "He has disappeared," said Capt. Osterhaus, sadly. "We made fun of him, and before our ridicule he blushed and vanished. "Such stories as we used to tell of him! "One, for instance, dealt with an old shellback's beard. "Why is it, Bill, a youth asked the old fellow, that you never shave your upper lip clean? "Well, ye see, Bill answered, 'a man's gotter have some place to strike his match on." 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. Vacation. The secret of rest is to get rid of detail for a time. Why is it that a sea voyage is regarded as the best of tonics? Simply because the entire change of surroundings wipes out the mass of complications attendant upon the daily routine of the ordinary worker. We all need occasional freedom from the bondage of the tiny strings that bind us to wearing tasks. The man who realizes this and plans his vacation accordingly makes no mistake. Manlike Breathless, they stood at last upon the towering Adriackd peak. "There," she said angrily, "we have climbed all this distance to admire the beauties of nature, and we left the glass at home." Tranquility smiling, he shifted the lunch basket to the other arm. "Never m'd, dear," he said. "It won't hurt us, just this once, to drink out of the bottle." 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. Never judge a woman's brilliancy by the lightness of her hair. Sheer white goods, in fact, any new wash goods when new, owe 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. Read Charles Dickens' Proofs Read Charles Dickens' Proofs.

Dawce' Good Advice to Young Men in Business. This is a hard world in business. It always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lend a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your little surplus, and sell you some money to pay your bills to pay your money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investigation into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank." Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political 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; second, to hold from those who are rich; third, to know 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 their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of them.
