Lucas, one of our leading barbers, spent a few days this week visiting friends near Creston on a farm. Mr. Lucas was so well pleased with his glist that we fear we might lose him as a citizen of Des Moines. He says that farm life is the only life to live and be contented.

J., whom he visited have in their possession $4,170 worth of land, over a hundred head of cattle and about the same of horses, also have a car load of hogs ready for market and expect to ship this or next week.

Fletcher who is engaged in the livery business in Creston is a progressive race man and is doing nicely. He bears the reputation of being one of the best livery and horsemen in that section of the country. He owes a beautiful home at 709 N. Stupr. St. DES MOINES IOWA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1907. HONOR TO WHOM IT IS DUE. There is an abundance of opportunity for everyone to do something to better the condition of the people all over this country, as well as in each locality. Many are the grave problems that are springing up before us, and many of these have to do with the race that we are a part of. As we watch from year to year the working of the statesmen at the national capital, as well as in each state, we see nothing more potent than a christian education, whatever else may be said, the religion of Christ tends to good citizenship. If we are right surely this should start every patriotic citizen of every denomination, as well as with those of no religious belief, for the lifting or all to a better citizenship. This will tend to solve some of the most serious racial problems. We do not depreciate other forces or individual work. God speed every individual whose helping hand is underneath this dispised race.

GRAND LODGE NOTES But have you stopped to consider the small number who are really doing something for humanity; or have you considered the great host who can't do anything themselves and are trying to prevent others from doing. If you have not, just watch the great host who are yelping at the heels of Booker T. Washington. If higher education will better solve the problem, do something that will convince the people and you will have a host to follow. So long as there is a demand for skilled mechanics, just so long can Tuskegee send out to all parts of the country such good teachers and skilled mechanics. Mr Washington will be admired by the American people regardless of race. There is a host who can teach and a host who can preach, but those who can think and produce a thought that will benefit all are but few in any race. It means much to be a successful teacher, and Mr. DuBois should be proud to know the American Missionary Society founded such a school as the Atlanta University, and it is a fact that as a teacher Mr. DuBois has but few equals. There are a host of able men and women all over this country who are helping humanity. Let us be contented with our calling. A race that is divided against itself cannot stand. The world is better by Mr. Washington having lived in it. Let there be no strife among our people. MINNESOTA STATE FEDERATION.

Glibs, in her unusual unassuming way. We had as our honored guest Mrs. E. Glibs, who is on address Wednesday evening. Many interesting papers were read and ably discussed.

This session was taken up by committee reports and work pertaining to the order, also secret instructions were given. WEDNESDAY MORNING.

In the afternoon at 2:30 the grand lodge ceased its labor and marched through the principle streets on the West Side to the A. M. E. church, where memorial services were held.

Shorthorn cattle take the lead in Iowa over all other breeds, or so it appears from the entries at the State Fair, just closed. Iowa will this year have the greatest exhibition of shorthorns ever brought together at a fair. Eleven different states are represented by the 300 head of shorthorns entered by 37 exhibitors, nowa having by far the largest number. While the shorthorn class is larger than any other, the entry list shows as follows: Shorthorns 300, Angus 120, Herefords 100, Galloways 70, Jersey 58, Red Polled 57, Polled Durham 48, Holsteins 41, steers 50. In all there are over 800 entries in the cattle department, there being 85 separate exhibitors, an increase of at least 15 per cent over last year. Entries were made by 75 different parties in the horse department, the total number of horses entered being about 450, a slight increase over last year and sufficient to more than fill all the stalls. This showing of live stock is extremely gratifying to Iowa believers in the virtue of live stock and best breeds, and it indicates confidence that this is to be a bigger and better fair than anyr Inquiries in regard to poultry and sheep, show that in these departments, all the space will be taken, and it is already known that every pen in the new swine pavilion will be needed. Thus it is certain that the Iowa live stock show will this year surpass all its prede- EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS. The city of Peoria, Illinois, was a new town for the Bystander observer to visit, hence we had but few subscribers there, but hereafter many of the best colored citizens will read it.

Milwaukee.—A race between two big automobiles from Milwaukee to Oakauchee, a distance of about 25 miles, with a supper and prize of $25 as the stakes, ended in a frightful accident Wednesday to one of the cars, which resulted in the death of two of its occupants and painful though not fatal injury to two others. The machine which met with an accident collided with a bridge which spans Elm creek, near Brookfield Junction, at ten miles west of Milwaukee. The wrecked car is owned by Alderman Koerner, while Frank Mulkern owns the other machine, which reached its destination in safety. The dead are: Ex-Alderman Joseph Kusch堡, Milwaukee, and George Post, chauffeur for John Koerner, died at hospital. Those injured are Horace Greeley Sloan and "Paddy" Dorrrell. Virginia Woman Killed Winterstein, in which May Bushell, 25 years old, of this place, was returning from Berryville in company with Jacqueline Hardesty was wrecked just outside of Berryville Tuesday night by striking a log placed across the road by unknown miscreants.

A policeman finally calmed the peanuts and led Herr Corried and the chauffeur, Ernest Stahl, an American citizen, to the nearest police station, where Herr Corried gave ball for the chauffeur's appearance. TRY TO WRECK LIMITED. *pennylvaniglia Train Strikes Obstruction, But Escapes Disaster.* Pittsburg, Pa. — An attempt was made to wreck the New York-Chicago limited express on the Pennsylvania railroad at a point just outside of Alleghey. Spice bars had been nailed to a tie and rested on each end of the rails on track No. 4. The train was stopped as the gine prevented derailment, and the only effect was a jolt to the passengers. Railroad detectives have been working on the case since, but have been unable to obtain a clew to those responsible for the outrage. It is the opinion of the officials that the attempt was made either by former employees or by men familiar with the working of the road, as the spo$ subject to the latest police under the signal bridge, and the manner in which the splice bars were placed indicated that those who drove the bolts were familiar with this kind of work.

Walving the question of the studied insolence of this language (regarding the "mob"), in so far as it may be aimed at the present occupant of the bench, the court can, of course, only leave to the discretion of the Standard Oil company the wisdom and propriety of a $100,000,000 corporation gratiously inaugurating agitation about the "mob." The court is not impressed by the doleful predictions of counsel for the defense as to the hardships upon the honest shipping public to be anticipated from the enforcement of this rule. The honest man tends a remedy by the transportation by railway company will not be fraudulently misled by that company into allowing it to haul his property for less than the law authorizes it to collect. The conception and execution of such a commercial policy necessarily involves the contamination of subordinate officers or employees, even looking to the time when testimony will be required for the protection of the revenues of the offender for the exactions of the law for its violation. Under the doctrine insisted upon by the defendant the railway company might give the Standard Oil company a low transportation rate and by contract obligate itself to withhold the same rate from the very man the taking of whose property by condemnation rendered possible the con- Trainmen Go on strike Denver, Col.-In consequence of the failure of the trainmen for an argument difference between strikemen.

A more abhorrent, heresy could not be conceived. It is the defendant's position that its offense was wholly technical; that nobody has been injured because there was no other shipper of oil, and that, therefore, the punishment, if any, should be a modest fine. * * * It is novel, indeed, for a convicted defendant to urge the complete triumph of a dishonest course as a reason why such course should go unpunished. The nominal defendant is the Standard Oil company of Indiana, a million dollar corporation. The Standard Oil company of New Jersey, whose capital is $100,000,000, is the real defendant. Where the only possible motive of the offense is the enhancement of dividends and the only punishment authorized is a fine, great caution must be exercised by the court lest the fixing of a small amount encourage the defendant to future violations by esteeming the penalty to be in the nature of a license. For the law to take from one of its corporate creatures as a penalty for the commission of a dividend producing crime less than one-third of its net revenues accrued during the period of violation falls far short of the imposition of an excessive fine, and surely to do this would not be the exercise of as much real power as is employed when a sentence is imposed taking from a human being one day of his liberty. The court is obliged to confess that it is unable to indulge the presumption that in its case the defendant was convicted of its virgin offense. More Trouble in Store. Chicago——The Standard Oil company Saturday received the most terrific blow in its history, and simultaneously was served with notice that more serious trouble was in store for it. Judge Kesenaw M. Landis, in the United States district court, fined the company $2,524,000, the extreme limit of the penalty fixed for the acceptance of illegal rebates on the conviction of last April. This fine is by far the largest ever assessed in any case in the history of jurprudence. It was accompanied by a scathing criticism of the oil trust's methods. Then the judge instantly called for a special grand jury for August 14 to follow up the same violations of law from the standpoint of conspiracy between the Standard Oil, the road and oil companies, both. This large force, if saved, may land some of the railroad and oil officers in jail. Will Contest the Decision. The trust's lawyers served notice that the infliction of the fine will be contested to the court of last resort. This means two steps: An appeal to the circuit court of appeals and thence to the federal supreme court. The judge gave the defendants 60 days in which to file a bill of exceptions. This was after three formal and quite "hopeless," motions had been made by Attorney Merritt Starr, representing the defense, senior counsel of John S. Miller, who is in Europe. One motion was to set aside the court's judgment, and another an arrest of judgment, and a third to vacate the judgment, setting up the grounds that the court's action was in violation of section 8 of the federal code. The judge asked the imposition of excessive fines. "Overruled," said the judge, quickly. "Let's go on with the next case." iy. "Let's go on win the next case." Mr. Starr then secured the 60 day stay of execution in accordance with the laws of the court, the prosecuting and defending counsel, in which the bill of exceptions will be filed. Call it an injustice. The character of the appeal to the higher courts was indicated by a later statement by an official of the corporation in New York, who said "the amount of the fines evidenced the injustice against the company." "The amount of Judge Landis's fines," said this official authoritatively for the company, "is 50 times the value of the oil carried under the indictment. Total value of the oil was $650,000. For each car of oil, valued at about $450, we have been fined $20,000. An appeal will be taken to the United States circuit court of last resort, but whether it is the court of last resort at once or whether the court entered a vised statutes of the United States. The punishment for conviction of this offense is a fine of $10,000, or sentence lowed by law will be taken will be determined by our counsel." Maine Potato Crop in Peril. Bangor, Me.—The great potato crop of Aroostook county, estimated this season at 15,000 bushels, is menaced by the continual wet weather. Although the land planted this year is about 5,000 acres larger than last year, it has been estimated the hardest crop, not equal last year's record crop by about 2,500 bushels. As Aroostook county is the largest potato growing district in the world, the condition of the crop there is one of the greatest factors in determining the market price.

Railroads Swamped with Wheat. Omaha, Neb.-Nebraska railroads are swamped with shipments of wheat and, despite every effort put forth, the movement has not been disgestated. The movement is from southern and central Nebraska. The case upon which the judge assessed the huge fine was brought upon indictments containing 1,462 counts, charging the acceptance of rebates amounting to $222,000 from the Chicago & Alton railroad on shipment of 6,000 cars of oil from Whiting, Ind., to East St. Louis. Jail Also May Be In Sight. The surprising finale of the day came when the judge issued his call for a special grand jury and directed District Attorney Sims to prosecute once against the Alton railroad and to direct an indictment of the individual Oil and Alton officials—who were parties to the scheme by which the Standard Oil company of Indiana secured the transportation of its products at less than one-third the legal rate. The charge to be made against these men is conspiracy to violate a federal law, known as section 5440 of the re- of two years in the penitentiary, or both. Men in Danger of indictments.

Referring to the reply by the defendant's attorney to his proposition that they produce evidence that the fences are not guilty of previous fences, the defendant took possession of the bunker for what he termed their gratuitous agitation about 'the mob'.

All of these men knew or_ may be presumed to have known of the secret arrangement by which the Standard Oil products were shipped from Witling to East St. Louis for six cents a gallon. The lawful staff was 18 cents. There were others who knew of it, but they escape possible indictment through having testified at the Standard Oil trial. Bogardus was a witness, but since he was not summoned by the government, but testified in his own behalf, he did not seize the property. He was also a witness, but was not called on to testify regarding the secret rate. Rebates Passed on by Davis. Should this investigation reveal all that is expected, Charles H. Davis will Two Railroad Bills Killed. Montgomery, Ala.—By being killed in the senate, the Sunday freight-train bill and the measure to provide for receivership corporations whose franchises might be destroyed in information measures are lost. The plan to stop Sunday freight trains contemplated giving power to the railroad commission to put the act in force when it was thought advisable. This was regarded as promising too much severity for the railroads, and even those desiring abolition of Sunday trains voted against it. To Stop City Lighting Plant. Milwaukee.—The papers have been prepared in a suit to enjoin the city from erecting a proposed million dollar electric light plant, to compete with the present private corporation, the ground for the infunction being that the city needs to invest one and one-half million dollars in bridges, ducts, schools and other necessary improvements. To erect the city light plant as proposed will mean an indefinite deferring of the other improvements as soon too near its bond limit. be one of the men most earnestly sought by the government. As auditor of the Chicago & Alton he passed on the Standard Oil rebate scheme and manipulated the books in an effort to hide it. When the investigation of the Standard Oil company, the Alton were commanded Davis resigned and left, his present whereabouts being still unknown despite every effort made to discover him during the trial. While there is a possibility that some of the men mentioned may escape indictment at the hands of this new grand jury, which he is in no hope to meet Alton in court of a wrongdoing company. The evidence used to indict and convict the Standard Oil company will do the same service for the Chicago & Alton. Some Unpleasant Comparisons. In his utterances against the oil company preliminary to assessing the great fine, and also preliminary to the calling of the other grand jury, he believed his belief that the Standard Oil company was no better than a common thief. "The men who deliberately violate their own bodies" wound themselves deeply than than serious. FREY 0,000 on the Standard Oil Company. coin or steals letters from the mail." Referring to the reply by the defendant's attorney to his proposition that they produce evidence that they had not been guilty of previous offenses, the judge took occasion to rebuke them for what he termed their gratuitous agitation about "the mob." Said he, after quoting from the answer of the attorneys in which they recommended that the court pay "no attention to the gossip of the street or the charges of the mob": "Valuing the question of the studied evidence of this language, in so far as it may be at the present occupant of the bonded course, only leave to the discretion, the Standard Oil company the wisdom and propriety of a hundred million dollar corporation's gratuitous inaugurating agitation about the 'mob.'" In scoring the corporation's plea that it had a right to enter into private contracts, the judge said: "Under the doctrine insisted upon by the defendant, the railway company might give the Standard Oil company a low transportation rate and by contract obligate itself to withhold the same rate from the man the taking of whose property by condemnation rendered possible the construction of the road. A more abhorrent heresy could not be conceived." Eddy Suit Report May Be False. Concord, N. H.—The attorneys for the "next friend" in the suit against Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy and others said Sunday they knew nothing of the report from Deadwood, S. D, that George W. Glover, son of Mrs. Eddy and one of the plaintiffs in the suit, had received a communication from his mother through a Miss Thompson, of Boston, and had started east, possibly to withdraw from the suit. It is understood that Mr. Glover and his daughter are on their way east to testify in the action. Victoria, B.

President Kingsley, of the New York Life Insurance Company, says, in an address to the policyholders, that his plan of administration involves these points: "First: Strict economy; second, the widest, fairest and most publicity; third, the continuance of the New York Life as a world-wide institution; fourth, such an amount of new business under the law as we can secure while practicing intelligent economy, and enforcing the idea that the interest of the policy-holder is paramount."

Always in the Way. Recently a country doctor in the north of Ireland, a bachelor, who was locally noted for his brusqueness and frasibility, was driving along a nor row lane, or "boreen", when his passage was effectually barred by an old woman, who was returning from the box leading an ass whose panniers were filled with peats. The woman led the ass to the side of the lane as quickly as she could, but not quickly enough to please the short-tempered doctor. "Faught!" he exclaimed, with a snort of disgust. "Women and asses have been the manners to put yourself last," said the old woman, calmly The doctor drove on without another word. All In Cold Storage. An Oregon attorney, representing a client whose title to a certain cold storage plant was under fire, closed an able argument before the Oregon supreme court recently with the following bit of pathos: "Your honor, there is more resting upon your decision than this cold storage plant: a human life is at stake. My client's life's efforts are in this cold storage; his life's blood is in this cold storage; his body and soul are wrapped up in this cold storage."—Law Notes. Watching the Knife Play.

"When I drank coffee I often had sick headaches, nervousness and bill lousiness much of the time, but when I went to visit a friend I got in the habit of drinking Postum. "I gave up coffee entirely and the result has been that I have been entirely relieved of all my stomach and nervous trouble. "My mother was just the same way. We drink Postum now, and without coffee the house for 2 years, we are all well. "A neighbor of mine, a great coffee drinker, was troubled with pains in hef side for years and was an invalid. She was not able to do her work and could not even mend clothes do anything at all where she would have to bend forward. If she tried to do a little hard work she would get such pains that she would have to lie down for the rest of the day. "At last I persuaded her to stop drinking coffee and try Postum Food Coffee and she did so and has used Postum ever since; the result has been that she can now do her work, can sit for a whole day and mend and can on the machine and she never feels the least bit of pain in her side, in fact, she has got well and it shows coffee was the cause of the whole trouble.

LOS ANGELES STRIKE CAUSE Will Not Work with Non-Unionists in West--New York May Be Involved. Chicago, Aug. 9- The telegraph operators employed by the Western Union in Chicago west on a strike last night at 12 o'clock. The trouble was precipitated by the Los Angeles strike which was inaugurated two days ago. Last night, the local executive board of the Commercial Telegraphers' union men of the non-union operators' reached the men to refuse work with the non-union operators employed in Los Angeles. When the men were notified of this step all operators employed in the overland division of the local office refused to work any longer with the non-union men on the other end of the wire. When this entouement was made Night Chief Harry Price ordered all who refused to work to leave the office. He then went into other divisions and requested the men to go into the overland division. In every case, he was met with a refusal until seventy men and been sent home, the grievous part of which was in ion on Mr. Price and notified that unless every man was reinstalled by midnight every union man in the office would be called out. This demand was refused and promptly at midnight by pre-arrangement, a whistle was blown and every operator employed in the main office with the exception of six wire and loop chiefs, including Night Manager Price, and his two assistants left to file out of the office. The men employed by the company at the various morning newspapers had been notified of the contemplated strike and they also quit work. The local officials of the union last night stated that the day force employed by the company, most of whom belong to the union, would refuse to file this morning. This will also include all branch offices through out the city. The national officers of the union spent all day in an effort to prevent the "rank and file" of the organization from taking matters in their own power. The union's first effort for weeks have maintained a sullier attitude toward the company. The Chicago force was dissatisfied with the basis of the settlement reached by the union. The cisco was called off. Ever since then they have been visiting the offices of National Secretary Russell seeking information. Yesterday his office was crowded all day long with operators from the company. The greess of the peace negotiation in the west, but were given little satis faction. "I am waiting to hear from President Obama. Until I hear from him, I can say nothing," he said. Such replies, together with a fact that the men believe, according to their own statements, that President Smail submitted to defeat at San Francisco, the executive board of the local union to take action. It was under these conditions that the strike was called with out sanction of national officers. After the strike, the union refused to talk about the controversy except to say that the men had taken matters in their own hands and undoubtedly felt that they were capable of handling their own affair. Secretary Ulrich of the local union said: "The men were tired of underhandness under which they were working and could stand no longer. They were the insult of handling them work with non-union men in Los Angeles was put upon them, they fused to stand it and quit work. They could get no information of the situs on non-union officer, so we decided it was up to us to take care of ourselves." When General Superintendent Cook of the Western Union was informed of the strike he declared that he was unable to say anything that would not outline the action the company would take until tomorrow morning. MASSACRE OF JEWS. Jewish Quarter of Moroccan Town Sacked by Moora. Tangier, Aug. 9.—The French war ships on Wednesday landed 2,000 additional men at Casa Blanca, where street fighting apparently continues judging from the desultory firing heard day and night by those on board the ships anchored off the town. The Jewish quarter of Casablanca has massacred 1,000 persons were massacred in the streets, the city is said to be full of dead Moors and the Moorish quarter is in ruins, having been set on fire by the shells from the big guns of the cruisers. All the stores are closed and much hunger and distress prevails among the poor. The foreign consuls have ordered the stores to be reopened and have established a special tariff for food stuffs, designed to mitigate the suf- ferings of the poor. The European, who are all safe either on board ships or at the consulates, are guarded by bluejackets. The warships continue to drop occasionally shell into groups. Babys are the beach in order to prevent them from fleeing to the town. Advice from Rabat say that the Babies have given the governor a fortnight in which to withdraw the French controller of customs. Otherwise they say they will attack the tots. The activity among the Anderrias tribesmen near Tangier is creating some apprehension that a surprise attack may be made on the city. WILLIAMS WINS.

The new photograph had just arrived, and in her husband's absence, Mrs. Jones thought she would give her patrol a treat. She worked the night working on a record of "Im Old Maria" sung by Mr. Jones in his best style. At the very first bar Polly opened her eyes in surprise, and rocked herself to and fro in deep and speechless wonder. She was evidently thinking deeply, and her excitement was intense. She cocked her head on one side, with an expression that hinted at her conjecture and irritation at not hearing a satisfactory conclusion. As the song finished, an idea dawned upon her. "Well," said Mrs. Jones with pride, "what do you think of that, Polly?" Then the bird found words: "Great Scott!" she shrieked. "You've got the old man box up this time." The Tell Tale Voice. "If you want to tell whether or not the man you are talking to is telling the truth don't look him in the eyes," said a Denver bank teller to some friends. "It is the voice, when you don't look him in the eyes, whether the other fellow is lying. We use the system frequently in the bank, and will come in to tell us some business tale. We look at his feet or his hands or his knees, but never in his eyes. If he's telling the truth his voice will be firm and straightforward, and the absence of your gaze in his eyes will not affect it. But if he's lying he'll be confused by your action, and his voice will tremble; he'll hem and haw, and clear his throat. You may rest assured that he's stringing you." Too Much Exposure.

Dr. Juliet Severance writes in the Vegetarian Magazine: "I am often reminded of a clinic case brought before the class when I was in medical college in 1858. The man had gout and rheumatism, both the small and large joints being immovable, and his suffering was severe. Dr.R. T. Trail, professor of theory and practice, was explaining to us the imminent danger of a rheumatoid diet. The poor follow tried vainly to turn his head, and grunted out: 'I can't go that; I want to enjoy life while I do live.'"

M'KOWN BROUGHT BACK. Alleged Embezzler and Fire Bug Will Make Fight. Maison City. - Final reports from the storm stricken district of northern Iowa indicate that four met death in the tornadoes which wreaked ruin and havoc on the afternoon of the 6th. The dead all of Hanlontown are: OLE TWEED, ASHLAND TWEED, MRS. ASHLAND TWEED AND SON. Injured seriously: Mrs. Harrison of Des Moines, Mrs. Quilmy, Elma. Daughter of L. O. Verney of Mason City. The main storm began, so far as Iowa was concerned, at Kelster, Minn., followed the Chicago & Northwestern track to within five miles of this city when it veered off in the direction of Lake, where Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Quimby were killed. Mrs. Quimby well twister was separate, it appears. The heaviest damage to farmers was in the vicinity of Rockwell, where twelve barns were destroyed and much live stock killed. The town of Clear Lake was a heavy sufferer. The homes of Clark, Mayor Young and F. Petersen were badly damaged and other buildings suffered to a lesser extent. It was here that Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Quimby were hurt. They were occupying a cottage near the lake. The dwelling was literally uprooted and the barns were damaged of the building just as the frame work and foundation parted. Mrs. Quimby, who is the wife of an Elma merchant, is reported in a serious condition and the symptoms indicate severe internal injuries. Of the Hanontown victims, Ole Treded was killed in the field and the other family in the crash of their home. The roof of the Roman Catholic Church at Rockwell was blown off. It is reported that considerable damage was done to crops in Winnebago county and one death in the villa was caused by the town. The town is cut off of wire service. SCHOOL MERGER HELD LEGAL. Polk County Judge Holds Des Moines Consolidation All Right. Des Moines.—The school merger law passed by the last legislature is constitutional. Its adoption by the people of Des Moines was regular. Members of the West Des Moines School board will govern the consolidated district, including seventeen separate districts, now one. This in short is the substance of Judge Jesse Moines' case. Some time after the school merger law was adopted by the people, May 27, W. E. Pritchard and other began action in the district court, claiming the law to be invalid. They said: it took away personal rights for public prosecution contracts. It was class legislation in that it was enacted for Des Moines. Other charges were made. They claimed that the defendants, the West Des Moines school board, had no right to govern the consolidate district because the legislature had no right to appoint the prosecutor constrained from proceeding with the business of the district. Judge Miller in the latter Instance holds that inasmuch as the people, May 27, adopted the provision of the new law in the fact elected the members of the West Des Moines school board as the law provided.

Of the 20,000,000 people inhabiting Spain, only about 35 per cent. can read and write; another two and one-half per cent. of the population can read without being able to write, but the remaining 62½ per cent. are absolute illiterates. In the south of Spain it is impossible to get a servant who can read and write, and many of the postmen are unable to tell to whom the letters they carry are addressed. They bring a bundle of letters to a house and the owls hooks them and takes those which are (or which he thinks are) addressed to him. The Spanish postmen are not paid by the state; the recipient of the letters have to remunerate them according to the amount of their correspondence, and each letter costs the addresses at least one cent. It is a joke among the easy-going Spanishards that he treats the postmen best receives the most letters—whether they are intended for him or not. FEARFUL BURNING SORES. Boy in Milery 12 Years—Eczema in Rough Scales, itching and Inflamed—Cured by Cuticura. "Cuticura has put a stop to twelve years of misery I passed with my son. As an infant I noticed on his body a red spot and treated same with different remedies for about five years, but when the spot began to get larger I put him under the care of doctors. Under their treatment the disease spread to four different parts of his body. During the day it would get rough and form lumps, inflamed and badly swollen with terrible burning and itching. One doctor told me that my eczema is incurable, and gave it up. I decided to give Cuticura a trial. When I had used the first box of Cuticura Ointment there was a great improvement, and by the time I had used the second set of Cuticura Remedies my child was cured. He is now twelve years old, and his skin is as fine and smooth as silk. Michael Steinman, 7 Summer Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y., April 16, 1905." First Tramp—After all, it pays to be polite, pardner.

"No idea, eh? Well, sir, a good, healthy hen—not speaking of any particular star breed, but just hen—a good, healthy hen does not fulfill her destiny until she has turned out 600 eggs—50 dozen. That's what nature has fitted up a hen to do in the way of eggs, and she gives her eight years to do it in." —Washington Post. 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 degrades 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. Evidently Needed Burial "The late Gen. Thomas H. Rugen," said a Stamford man, "was, like many army officers, an authority on good cooking, but he detested rank, high cheese.

Bell Monroe, a well known colored resident of Clinton, died Saturday night as the result of injuries received at the hands of Charles Madsen, son of the firm of Madsen. But butcherly and the time of death early hour that evening. The fact of the case as hear as can be determined are that Monroe called at the market of Madsen Bros. about 7 o'clock Saturday evening. While the dispute is about to begin, the count and Charles Madsen were endeavoring to eject him from the building he was given a vigorous shove by Charles Madsen out of the door, which caused him to fall. He claimed to be a time to fight with a back of bliss head on the walk. Monroe was assisted by bystanders to a chair, where he showed a dazed condition and lapsed into unconsciousness, in which state he remained for a time. He was at the time of his home on Oak street and a physician called. At about 10 o'clock Monroe passed away. Coroner Kellogg was notified, who immediately ordered Charles Madsen placed in custody pending an investigation. The man was held Sunday, which disclosed a bruise on the back of the head. The brain was examined and a blood clot was found in what is called the smaller brain. The heart was also found to be unusually larger than the other vessels of the time from the other vessels of the entire body. After completing the autopsy the doctors agreed that Monroe's death was caused by a hemorrhage at the base of the brain and not by the external bruise on the body. The death was not a result of the coroner's jury was not sufficient in their judgment to hold Madison. He was therefore released. Another examination was held on the body of Monroe on Monday by other physicians. The person had been found at the Market was earested. What the come will be we cannot say, but it is evident that matter needs investigation, as the cause of death has not yet been clearly established. Bell Monroe was 56 years of age at time of death.
