Mo. last it up time for the horse and reach out after the things which tend to lift the race up instead of degrading it. Let each intelligent man and woman think of the origin of the cake walk and "Buck dance" and then see if you would like to have your sons and daughters in his time for us as a race to give the other fellow an opportunity to be the monkey, that we through his performance might get a few dollars, and not expect to always be the monkey and the "Buck" to dance. "Give to the world the best you have and best you will come back to you," should be our motto. Rev. H. W. Porter. Des Moines, Iowa. WE ARE SOWING. Everyone will receive their own reward according to their own labor, according to the use made of their talents and opportunities; not according to the harvest that is reaped, but as to the seeds that are sown; not according to the gifts they may make; not according to worldly applause they may receive; not according to the great riches they may gain; not according to the high station they may fill, but according to the seed they have sown. The good book says, "What soever a man soweth that shall he also reap." This will apply to all, the rich as well as the poor, the great as well as the small, the servant with one talent as well as the servant with five—everyone have their field. Are all conscious of what they are sowing? Are you sowing so that you will be satisfied when the harvest comes? Let us examine at the close of each day what we have sown. Sow love of country, sow love of race, sow love for God, sow love for humanity, sow love for all that is good and elevating, sow love in your home, sow love in your neighborhood, sow love in your lodge, sow love in your church. When all shall use their talent aright, there will be no problems to solve. The cause of so much wrong and sin is because too many are sowing the wrong seed. Remember that the harvest depend on the seed that are sown. We cannot see why the newspapers of the state should not have as much interest in the state fair as any other state enterprise. It has done its part in making the state what it is. The former law partner of ex- Governor Shaw is being brought forward as a candidate in the coming gubernatorial race. Will the standpatters get together? There are almost 6,000 idle actors in Chicago this summer, while many of the states are suffering for want of harvest hands. Who are supporting these idlers? In many places Senator Tillman received cheers when he assailed the Nogro, but when he stepped on the old soldiers and the Republican party cries went up from every direction. The renegade will soon be as unpopular in the North as he is in the South. A Chicago professor says the world will eventually be governed by the Chinese. He surely has not taken into consideration the progress the Negro is making. ALBIA NEWS. Miss Maggie J. Nelson left Thursday for home in Chicago, after several weeks visit at the parental home.

The eleventh annual session of the Western Negro Press Association opened its meeting Monday morning in the supreme court room of the state capital building August 12. Only a few of the residents were present, owing to the washouts and delayed trains. This press association was founded by Editor Harry R. Graham and Isaac Frederick in 1896. After considerable personal contact with the community through the columns of the St. Joseph church these gentlemen issued a call for a convention to be held at Pilgrim Baptist church, at Kansas City, Mo, July 14, 1896.

It is impossible to maintain perfect health without it; but it must be taken in moderation, for excess in this respect is as harmful in its way, and sometimes in the same way, as excess in eating. The effect of exercise is to increase the tissue changes in the body. The weaker cells are destroyed and replaced by new and stronger cells, the nutrition is increased, and the waste products are thrown off. If the exercise is carried to extreme lengths it may happen that the waste products are thrown into the system in so great quantity that they cannot be disposed of in the ordinary way, and they accumulate to such an extent that the body is poisoned by its own waste. The result is the same as when an excess of food is taken; and so, exercise, which in moderation tends to counteract the evil of overeating, in excess only increases the evil. It has always been known that excessive physical labor has a tendency to shorten life, and the attainment of old age is sediment the lot of the laboring man. But the fact is often curiously overlooked that physical labor is physical labor, whether it consists in welding a pick and shovel or in throwing weights, a boat, running or jumping. The dangers of inordinate devotion to athletics, says Youths Companion, that one part of the body, one set of muscles or certain organs, such as the heart, will be developed out of proportion to the other parts. This is especially the case in the young, who have not yet attained their growth. The heart is a patient organ, and when strain is put upon it it quietly increases its bulk and its strength to meet the task. So long as the strain is continued, works along, but when the call upon it is diminished suddenly, the young man giving up his athletics and taking to a sedentary life, its muscular tissue begins to degenerate. The arteries, under strain, act in the same way, and when the tension is relaxed the condition known as arteriosclerosis develops. The tissues are poorly nourished and the man ages before his time. When devotion to athletics has been excessive, it is only by the greatest care in training down that the athlete can avoid the danger of weakened body and nerves. Was a Great Teacher. By the death of Kuno Fischer, Europe loses one of its really great teachers of philosophy. Like Victor Cousin, Fischer paid particular attention to the form of his lectures, which were models of clear and sometimes eloquent exposition. He spoke invariably without notes, and could quote from memory extended passages from the ancient as well as from the modern philosophers. His "History of Modern Philosophy" is remarkable for the precision of its statements and the justice of its criticisms. Although a Hegelian, Fischer never employed the peculiar terms of the school. He was a thoughtful critic of modern literature, and his lectures on Goethe's Faust, on Lessing, and on certain plays of Shakespeare attracted large audiences. A singular episode in his career, relates New York Post, was an acrimonious debate with Trendelenburg of Berlin over an interpretation of the Kantian philosophy. The animosity produced by this dispute was, according to some, the reason why Fischer never went to Berlin, but remained for more than 30 years an ornament to the University of Heldelberg and the foremost citizen of that city. The death in New York of Prof. Angelo Hellprin deprives the world of a noted scientist. Prof. Hellprin, who was a native of Hungary, came to the United States when an infant, and received his education here, rising to special eminence as a geologist, though his versatility was shown by his achievements in other fields. His explorations in various directions added greatly to the sum of human knowledge, and the results were embodied in numerous instructive volumes. One of his most notable achievements was the ascent of Mont Pelee immediately after the great and destructive eruption of that Martinique volcano in 1902. He risked his life in scientific investigation and calmly took notes of the phenomena on the very edge of the blazing crater. The day is coming, says a prominent architect, when buildings twice as high as the Washington monument will be erected. Then the airship will be a certainty, for necessity, you know, is the mother of invention. It is always a terrible disappointment when a little boy who has made up his mind to grow quickly in order that he may marry his teacher, finds that she has gone off and married some other fellow. Possibly the woman who wrote, "The man does not walk whom I would be bothered with," might have stood for one who had a garage full of automobiles. The Lake of Constance, in Switzerland, is becoming so shallow near Linden that it may soon be necessary to fill it up with soil for sanitary reasons. No matter how ugly a man is his wife is always proud of having his children look like him. IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth. Des Molnes.—Wanted on the charge of arson, contempt of United States court, obtaining property under false pretenses and a number of smaller charges Max Freeman, whom the detectives have sought for two months, was arrested on June 16, on street streets by detective Andrew R. Brackett. Information was filed against him by Mr. Goldman, of the Collins-Heaslip company on Court avenue, charging him with obtaining property under false pretenses. He was arrested by Freeman at Eagle Grove a little over one and one-half years ago. He went into business there extensively and bought heavily of wholesale houses. The claim of the local house said he had been a clamoring creditors who wish $2,500. He suddenly failed at Eagle Grove. Involuntary proceedings in bankruptcy were commenced by his creditors. They found little assets and no defence as to the nature of the commissioner of the United States district court commanded to appear and answer questions as to what he had done with the goods or money received. Then Freeman disappeared and was held in custody now held by the United States marshal. Freeman is also wanted by authorities in Michigan for arson, it being claimed he burned his store building there. The police have sought Freeman for two months. Some weeks ago they were close on his trail when he escaped. Then his wife came here from Chicago in search of her husband, but he had gone. She returned to Chicago. Two weeks ago she came back to Des Moines. Detective there since been the attack. True to the story, he came to see his wife and was picked up by Detective Brackett while making his round of the nawn shops. DEFENDS HER HUSBAND. Threatens to Send Five Prominent Men to The Penitentiary. Seymour—Mrs. LeRoy Ware, wife of the causer of the Farmers' and Drovers' State Bank of Seymour, has thrown down the gaudlet to her husband's accusers in the statement that she will send five other men to the penitentiary if her husband is convicted of the crime for which he is now under five indictments. Who the five men are and the exact way in which they are implicated, Mrs. Ware refuses to divulge in an interview she has given out in statement and says she will stand by it. Mrs. Ware's devotion to her husband is a remarkable example of a wife's love. When the wives of the bank's failure became known, her mother, Mrs. Julland, entrusted her to leave her husband and return to the home of her girlhood. The unusual instance of a woman choosing between her mother and her husband was afforded. Mrs. Ware told to her husband that she had a Biblical Injunction to forsake all and cling to her husband, and that she would not listen to such advice. But her statement has the town of Seymour by the ears. The interest which has centered around her husband has his devotion, who now proposes to take the affairs into her own hands. AUTO THIEVES CAUGHT: Boye Who Have Stolen Many Machines Are Taken. Des Moines.—The mysterious auto thieves are in the jail. Behind the bars of the city jail are Robert Stevens and B. Moberg, two creeftens youth, who have confessed to all the recent auto episodes. The arrests were made when the machine, "borrow" another machine, Charles Trisler left his runabout in front of the Baker-Trisler book store on Walnut street. No sooner had he entered the building than the boys began to work about the machine. During in an office across the street noticed their suspicious actions and summoned the police. After a sharp run the boys were captured. On Moberg was found the R40 crank and spark plug that have aided the attackers. The sweat box the boys broke down and admitted having stolen all the R40 machines that have been taken during the past six weeks, numbering eight in all. They also confessed to having broken into the Whirling garden, where the police said this offense will doubtless get them into the worst of all the troubles. The boys are 20 years of age and reside in Highland Park. They are both students at the Capital City Waterloo. While playing with a toy car, they thought they would have some fun during their school career. **Shot Baby Sister Through Neck.** Waterloo. While playing with a toy car, they thought they would have some fun during their school career. Waterloo accidentally discharged the four-year-old sister, Agnes, in the neck. Little Agnes was lying in bed at the time and the ball passed through the door. She was at the back without touching the vital spots. Although it is early to predict the outcome, the doctor's belief is the child will recover. **Fight Ends in Murder.** Council Bluffs—Jas, Lankton, who was injured in a fight with James Scheffler, proprietor of the Manhattan gambling house, is dead.

Two Will Die as Result of Accident Near Russell. Russell—The fast Burlington train No. 6, east bound from Denver to Chicago, was wrecked a mile east of here at 12:40, injuring eleven persons, two of whom may die. The derailment of the truck on the way was the cause of the wreck, though why the truck went off no one can explain. The wreck is the worst that has occurred on the main line for some time. Almost every seat in the nine cars was occupied and the low was injured. The train was running at a fifty-five mile rate when the front trucks of the first mall car jumped the track, pulling two other cars, the mall car and the baggage and smoker, coming into force and forcing five other cars part way over, the dirt at the side of the track alone saving them from turning completely over, for the trucks were smashed up beneath the cars. Two sleepers at the rear of the train and the engine did not leave A gas pipe in the diner was broken and almost instantly that car burst into flames. Before they were put out by the train crew, none of whom received any injuries, part of the car was consumed. The wreck is a remarkable one for the truck in dragging forty feet ripped up 330 pound steel rails and twisted them as if they were pins. Relief trains were rushed to Russell from Charlton and Ottumwa, and a score of doctors were soon on the scene. The car was being cared for in Russell homes, while the other passengers were taken out of town. SEVERE FIRE AT DYERSVILLE. Entire Block in Heart of City Was Destroyed. Dubuque—Fire in the town of Dyersville, in this county, destroyed an entire block in the heart of the business section, causing a loss of $50,000 and for a time threatening the entire business part of the place.

A high wind was blowing when the fire was discovered and the town was threatened with destruction, but the wind moderated and the volunteer firemen soon afterward the great Western freight depot, the Dyerville mill and the Commercial hotel caught fire from embers blown several blocks by the wind, but these blazes were extinguished before any damage was done. J J Hittennille was badly burned and the were overcome from fighting the fire. The losses are pretty fully covered by insurance. GIRL TRIED TO ENLIST. Sought Entrance at Sloux City Re- routing Office Sloux City.—Because she loved her brother more than anyone living, and wanted to join him, Ella Doehling, 20 years old, tried to enlist in the navy. She was attired in men's dress and played only when a Master at Arms Walter Brown informed her she must strip for a physical examination. To queries of the recruiting officer the girl gave prompt answers. She said her name was Harry Doehling. She was a vater room, big tears wilted in her eyes and she told Brown she was an orphan, and since her brother enlisted was lonesome. Her brother George Doehling, enlisted in the Army six months ago, and is an apprentice seaman on the Vermont. RUN OVER BY ENGINE. W. J. Taylor Has Unique Experience at Creation Creston—W. J. Taylor of this city sustained an accident and in his case, what he escaped is more remarkable than what he suffered. He was crossing the switch yards of the Burlington road in this city when he collapsed down squared track and to the horrified crew who witnessed the accident it seemed as if he had gone directly under the engine. Brakes were thrown on and the engine was hastily backed up, when the man picked himself up, wooded, and walked off without making remorse or apparently realizing how near death he had been. Spilla Kerosene on Stove. Swaledale—The ignition of a quantity of kerosene oil which had been overturned on a hot stove recreated the arm and face of Mrs. J. T.

Fullwood is still at FLIGHT OF THE FLANCE. Unmerged by Dreadful Possibilities of the Future. A wayfarer, jogging along the public highway in pursuit of his own purposes, was run against and knocked over by a wild-eyed youth of frightened men, who, upon untangling himself from the poregrinator, elucidated his harrowing predicament as follows: "I went over to you and asked what happened that it was sewing circle afternoon and the sitting-room was invested by many matrons, both young and sere, and me down on the vine-clad porch to await their departure; and to my first indifferent but very presently horrified ears were waffled snatches of their conversation, running something like this: "The food is liable to disgrace you, and the experiment with a variety of milks from different cows, invariably sterilizing it, and try various foods, until you discover exactly the right one. My second had the colic almost every night for six weeks and sereed for hours without intermission. It never slept longer than half an hour at a time and neither my husband or man had a minute's rest in. Whoooping cough followed, and measles, scarlet fever, hives, and—" Then I fled. I don't know where I shall stop and—" "You are quite excusable, sir!" returned the wayfarer, who had lived long and knew much. "Pray, don't mention it!"—Puck. A PECULIAR ALLIANCE. That Made by the Doctors and the W. C. T. U. For the purpose of fighting "patient" medicines the doctors, as represented by the American Medical Association, have made an alliance with the W. C. T. U. who have been deceived into believing that the alcohol in "patient" medicines is a menace. In this alliance the good ladies of the W. C. T. U. are apparently put in the position of dragging chestnuts out of the fire for their allies. There is no class so firmly convinced of the necessity for alcohol in medication as the doctors who, with a few exceptions, not only prescribe it freely I use it, as indeed they must use it as a solvent and preservative. On the other hand the W. C. T. U. contends that the whole medical and pharmaceutical world is a error; that alcohol is not only useless but that it is dangerous and harmful in any quantity in any medicinal preparation. While their principles are so wholly at variance the doctors and the W. C. T. U. ladies have cheerfully allied themselves in a war on "patient" medicines, and the W. C. T. U. is placed in an even more ridiculous position by reason of the fact that the doctors do not confine their fight to those medicines which contain alcohol, but lump all "patient" medicines in one class, and this too is printed according to figures printed in the Journal of the American Medical Association, about 70 per cent of physicians' prescriptions are for "patient" or "proprietary" medicines. The inability of many physicians to prescribe any but ready-to-use remedies is frequently commented upon by the medical press, and by physicians in the better class when assembled in conventions. That three-fourths of the physicians graduated each year in the United States are incompetent and a peril to the communities in which they practice was charged openly at the annual meeting of the Committee on Medical Education of the American Medical Association, held in Chicago in April of this year. The total number of graduates annually was placed at 4,000 and 4,000 competents are turned loose annually. It was stated at this meeting that an average of 58 per cent of the graduates from medical colleges failed to pass state examinations. These failures either go back to school, or go to some state where the requirements are not so high. That many doctors are so ignorant in matters pertaining to pharmacy that they know nothing about the properties of the drugs they prescribe, was stated by Dr. M. Clayton Thrush, a professor at the Mchirch-Thurigh Medical Institute before the Annual Convention of the American Medical Association at Atlantic City in June of this year. Dr. Henry Beata, Jr., President of the Board of Medical Examination for the State of Pennsylvania, in an interview in the daily papers said: "About one quarter of the papers show a degree of illiteracy that renders them incapable of understanding medicine." He criticizes the colleges for awarding degrees in these cases. Wisdom on Tan Mrs. Green, who was deeply absorbed in a romance of the 17th century, suddenly paused and looked at her husband. "Gregory, she said, 'listen to this. By my halldom,' exclaimed Sir Hardyne, 'it is past the hour of 12! What is a halldom?' "What do you suppose it is?" responded Mr. Green, with a frown. "Can't you tell from the context Ms. Halldom said it was the past of 12 to his halldom, didn't he? I should think any one could tell from that sentence that he had just consulted his halldom. Halldom is the old English name for watch, of course. Why is it that some women/don't seem to be able to exercise their reasoning faculties?"—Stray Stories. / somewhat Disconcerting.

EXCITEMENT ON CHANGE Market is Utterly Demoralized, the Chief Bear Factor Being the Failure of the Pope Manufacturing Company. New York—Distrust of the government's attitude toward the corporations, a threatened monetary stringency, leading markets of the world and the financial embarrassment of the Pope Manufacturing company combined to demoralize the stock market Wednesday. Prices melted in sensational fashion and the average level of declines was below that reached in the memorable Northern Panic panic of 1901. Stock markets were lower than ever before in their history. Of the several causes named, the failure of the New England corporation probably excited the greatest amount of apprehension. During the early session of the market there was no hint of coming storm. In fact, it was not until the failure of the Pope company Became generally known that the list became unsettled. Then the speculators for a decline, in courage by their successful attacks on prices during the last fortnight, were the attacks, concentrating their forces on the Harriman and Hill issues, Reading, St. Paul, the coppers, American Smelting and the steel stocks. Under vigorous hammering, a great many order to sell to stop losses were uncovered, and, as is usual in times of great excitement, numerous accounts were thrown over and sold for what they would bring. The downward movement was in full swing in the last half hour, but was halted just before the closing. There were unmistakable signs of enforced liquidation in many stocks, particularly Amalgamated Copper, which came out in enormous quantities closed Tuesday at the Tuesday market down Wednesday to 66%, a new low on Tuesday to 66%, and closed at 69.14 New York Central, which closed at 104% Tuesday night, fell to 100%, its lowest record for many years. Union Pacific declined nearly seven points. Northern Pacific four points to 115% and Southern Pacific to 33%. United States Steel scored a net loss of 2% points. On the exchange and in the various brokerage offices the excitement was intense throughout the afternoon. After the close of the market urgent calls for additional margins were sued by brokers. POPE COMPANIES FAIL. Receivers Appointed for Big Concern in Several States. New York. — Receivers for the Pope Manufacturing company and its subsidiary company, the Pope Motor Car company, which are engaged in the manufacture of automobiles and bicycles, with main offices and plant at Hartford, Conn., were appointed Wednesday in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Massa chuseets. Similar action will be handled by the Pope Indiana and Maryland, where the companies own plants. The petitions filed by the Monus Kelly company, of Toledo, O., asking for receivers, show the total assets of both companies to be $11,265,570 with total liabilities reaching $1,972,828. The difficulties of the Pope companies were the direct result of a curtailment of loans and reduction of loans on notes. Albert Rathbone counsel for Albert L. Pope, vice president of the Pope Manufacturing company, who has been appointed a rector of the New York, Massachusetts and Connecticut, said that the troubles of the companies were the outcome of the present rigid monetary conditions Loans were falling due, Mr. Rathbone said, and the company was unable to meet them. No Lives Lost in Tornado. La Crosse, Wils. — Persons unaccounted for after Sunday's tornado, the worst ever experienced at La Crosse, have been located and it is now believed that no lives were lost when the tornado suddenly swept down upon the numerous craft on the river. Many streets are still impassable, and in another 24 hours are expected that the greater part of the damage will have been removed. The damage to churches, factories, residences and crops in this country is conservatively estimated at $200,000. Car Kills Bill Nye's Brother New York—Fred Nye, a brother of the late "Bill" Nye and an assistant editor of the Sunday World, died of injuries received by being struck by a trolley car Monday night.

MUST SHOW JUDGE LANDIS HEALTH NOTES FOR ALTON IMMUNITY BATH PASSED UP TO WASHINGTON. Inquiry Adjourned Until Government Officials Decide Whether Pledge Chicago. — Attorney General Lon- parte must convince Judge Lands- ha that there can be no prosecution of the Chicago & Alton railway without a violation of good faith on the part of the government before he will stop the investigation of the road's rela- tions with the Standard Oil company Lana by a federal grand jury that was organized Wednesday morning. That the attorney general may be given sufficient opportunity to make this showing the grand jury was dis- ected to adjourn until September 3 before examining evidence against the Alton. This method of meeting an unusual situation after he had ordered an injury into the alleged law violations by the Alton railroad was adopted by Judge Landis Wednesday morning and was expressed in his charge to the jurors after they had been given the grand jury oath. What action will be taken by the grand jury when it meets again September 3 will depend entirely, the court indicated, upon the conclusions of the attorney general as to what good faith requires the government to do. He ordered that a transcript of the record in the Standard Oil case showing what evidence the Alton railroad had really contributed to the conviction of the Indiana corporation be sent to the attorney general for examination. If the latter concludes that the railroad has lived up to the promises that obtained for the road assurance of immunity and the official at the head of the department of justice shows the court that no prosecution can proceed without a violation of the immunity agreement, then the Alton will escape and the grand jurors will not make an investigation. MOORS ATTACK CASABLANCA. Repulsed by French Guns with Heavy Losses. Tangler. — Four thousand Moors attacked Casablanca Monday, but were repulsed. The tribesmen displayed dauntless courage, charging repeatedly almost to the French guns, but a hall of shrapnel finally drove them back with heavy losses. The warriors in the roadstead was terribly effective on the masses of native horsemen. The French losses were inconsiderable. Paris. — Minister of Foreign Affairs Pichon has given an interview to the Matin in which he says: "The government will send no more troops into Morocco. On no account we intend to embark upon a work of conquest." The Matin publishes a dispatch from its correspondent at Casablanca saying that the fighting between the native Gen. Drude's command lasted all day Saturday, but quieted on Saturday night and Sunday morning. A renewal of the attack, however, is feared, as another kaid with numerous reenforcements has arrived. The warships continue to shell the Arab positions. The last of the French troops in port, a detachment of cavalry and a company of artillery, have been disembarked. The Matin publishes a dispatch from Saffi, a seaport on the coast of Morocco, saying that town is surrounded by natives and that the European residents are preparing to defend themselves. The situation at Saffi is declared to be critical. Tangier. — Kaid Sir Harry MacLean has been handed over by his captor, the handit Raisult, to the Elkmes tribe, who in their turn set him at liberty. DARING CHICAGO ROBBERY. Masked Men Rob Cash Drawer of the Hamilton Club. Chicago—Two hold-up men invaded the Hamilton club at Clark and Monroe streets at 10 o'clock Saturday evening. Although they missed an opportunity of relieving several prominent Republican politicians of their pocket money, they emplied the club's cash drawer and the pockets of its employees. The robbery was daring, but it netted the perpetrators about $50. After terrifying their victims with revolvers, the robbers forced them into an elephant and ordered the conductor to "shoot the app." The shouts of the frightened victims as they emerged from their temporary prison into the billiard room of the club threw a dozen members in a panic. The tumult then grew so loud that it attracted the attention of the police. In the meantime the robbers walked leisurely along Clark street and disappeared among the crowds passing in front of the building. Gaynor, Convict, Ia III. Macon, Ga.—J. F.

"One summer morning," he said, "the approach of a great flock of sheep oblige me to pull off the narrow country road. I halted my car, and watched with interest the passage of the sheep, the intelligent dogs and the shepherd. "I had a short talk with the shepherd about his short and difficult trade. I never said, 'what do you do, drive sheep like this on a narrow road, when you meet another flock coming in the opposite direction?' "Well," said the shepherd, "ye just drive straight on, both of ye, and the one that has the best dogs gets the most sheep." Social Rank.

He took no part in last night's conference and did not sign an request for such action had been made. During the day both telegraph companies made a material increase in board of trade force and each accession granted with lusty cheers by the traders. A declaration that the entire membership of the Order of Railway Tower was called out was one of the sensational developments of the day. LITTLE CHANGE IN NEW YORK Strike Over, Says Clowry; Just Be Gone, Says Leader of Men. gun, Says Leaders of Men. New York, Aug 16—There were no developments of moment in the telegraphers' strike in this city and at nearby points yesterday. All sides to the controversy continued optimistic expressions. "The strike is over," declared President Clowry of the United States, commenting Deputy National President Percy Thomas of the telegraphers' union. Vice President Nally of the Postal Telegraph company, who has before said the strike was ended so far as the Postal was concerned, declared night and night that before the strike. Press matter was moved easily yesterday, and this feature has lost much of its importance. The Wall street brokers and their operators were eliminated from the contest when last night the local company united not for the second time tabled a resolution calling upon the operators of the financial district to go out. The strikers continued their plecketing yesterday and last night, but in an inoffensive way. EXCUSES GRANT JURY. Judge Landis Discusses Letter Promising immunity, Chicago, Ill., Aug. 16—A promised immunity bath for the Chicago & Alton railroad promises to hinder prosecution of the line for its part in the Standard Oil rebates. In postponing the Alton case to Sept. 3, Judge Landis said to the grand jury. "The court directed the district attorney to lay before you the evidence respecting the rates charged by the Chicago & Alton railroad and the standard Oil company. Since this direction was given I have received a communication from the attorney general of the United States, the substance of which is that prior to the indictment of the State district attorney, then the United States district attorney made an arrangement with the officials of the Chicago & Alton railroad under which it was not to be proceeded against provided it would assist the prosecutor in the case of a crime with witnesses in the matter then pending. In view of this, it is the conviction of the attorney general that good faith requires the department of justice to do what it can to make good the case of a crime with witnesses, and presents a very grave question, because it is of the utmost importance that no offender should deservedly escape punishment for crime on any such plan, as well as for the unruly charge the government of United States with bad faith." Bonaparte Arranges Meeting At Washington. Washington, D. C. Aug. 16—Attorney General Bonaparte announces that he will hold a conference here Monday with the present and former United States district attorneys at Chicago, at which the promised immunity from prosecution given to the Chicago & Alton railway officers by the then district attorney will be held, Mr. Bonaparte reiterates in his letter to Judge Leadsl, to which the judge referred in temporarily excusing the grand jury. "I can say," continued the attorney general, "that I never agreed to grant immunity to anyone. The proxise was made during a former administration of this decision. Attorney Morrow is no doubt, and I am confident the attorney general that at Mr. Justice Moody), was cognizant of it." Attorney General Bonaparte was asked what action. If any, might he be antigraphed by the department of justice against Edward H. Herriman further than the proceedings instituted against him. "That is a saint which I cannot talk about," he replied. "I now am considering the report of the commission on the Harriman case. I have reached no conclusion. A little while ago some of the officers complained that I was too little; now something are urging that I am dealing too freely. It is a bit difficult." he added with a laugh, "to satisfy everybody. But as to the Harriman case, I can say no more than that it is being considered." **Exiles 300 in Month.** St. Petersburg, Aug. 16—Two hundred and seventy-four persons throughout the Russian empire were exiled for political offenses during the month of July. It is stated officially that 34 Russian officers and 95 privateers were killed, 47 officers and 62 privateers wounded during the length of time while being ordered. A TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. How a Veteran Was Saved the Ampu- tation of a Limb. B. Frank Doremus, veteran, of Roosevelt Ave., Indianapolis, Ind. says: "I had been showing symptoms of kidney trouble from the illness, was stretched out of the army but in all my life I never suffered as in 1397. Headaches, diat- ness and sleepslness, first, and then dropay. I was weak and helpless, having days: "I had been showing symptoms of kidney trouble from the ache and the arm was out of the arm, but in all my life I never suffered as in 1897. Headaches, dizziness and sleepiness, first, and then dropy. I was weak and helpless, having run down from 180 to 125 pounds. I was having terrible pain in the kidneys, and the secretions passed almost involuntarily. My left leg swelled until it was 34 inches around, and the doctor tapped it night and morning until I could no longer stand it, and then he advised amputation. I refused, and began using Dona's Kidsn Pills. The swelling subsided gradually, the ure became natural and all my pains and pains disappeared. I have been well now for a years since using Dona's Kidsn Pills." For sale by all dealers. 50 cents a box. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, N.Y. IN THE NAME OF CHARITY. Jack London's Story Carries Sting of Truth and Pathos. "Jack London's famous definition of charity" - sharing a bone with a dog when you're as hungry as the dog" - recalls a story about charity," said a magazine editor, "that I heard Mr. London tell at a farewell dinner in New York before he sailed away on the Spark. "Mr. London said two old men were swaying and dinking together after dinner. "The host rang the bell and an old woman appeared. "Confound you, stupid!" said the host. "Didn't I tell you I wanted the Scotch? Take this back, and bring what I asked for, you old fool!" "Come, come," said the guest, after the old woman had hurried away in a great fright. "Come, come, my friend, don't you think you are rather too sharp with your old servant." "You don't not a servant. She's only a poor relation I'm keeping out of charity." "The guest looked relieved. "That alters the case, of course," he said."- Washington县, of course," he said." NO RELIEF FROM ECZEMA For Over Two Years—Patent Medicines, Quack Cures and Doctors Fall—Cuticura Succeeds. "I was very badly afflicted with eczema for more than two years. The parts affected were my limbs below the knees. I tried all the physicians in the town and some in the surrounding towns, and I also tried all the patient remedies that I had advised by old women and quacks, and found no relief what ever until I commenced using the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Resolvent. In the Cuticura Remedies I found immediate relief, and was soon sound and well. C. V. Beltz, Tippeacone, Ind, Nov. 15, 196." SETTING THE BRIDE AT EASE. "Widder's" Sympathy Went Out to Fellow Passenger. A couple recently married had just entered the train that was to bear them to the mountains on their honeymoon, when they became aware of the scrutiny of them by a female passenger, who had evidently "spotted" a bride and groom. The young wife, on opening her handbag, let fall some rice on the floor, and the woman smiled. The other passengers regarded the couple with interest. Seeing that the bride was every moment coming more flushed and uncomfortable by reason of their scrutiny, the woman led the goodness of her heart, leamed across the carriage. "Never mind, my dear!" she said, "I'm a wilder now, but by this time next week I'll be in the same xf myself." In Extremis. The yacht was heavily becalmed. There were but ten bottles of champagne in the lockers. Their last signal of distress had been sent up, without bringing any response. "Gentlemen," exclaimed the commode, in a quavering voice, "I can no longer conceal the hideout truth from you. Sobriety stares them out. Nobody sees the scene which enclosed them. Some blasphemed, some prayed, in an access of frenzied wantonness, sang songs, while some sat stolically by, awaiting their fate with at least an outward calm.—Puck. The Modern Child. Five-year-old Nellie had been naughty all day. Finally her mamma, a very portly woman, sat down and drew the little culprit across her ample lap to administer the long delayed punishment. Nellie's face was fairly buried in the folds of her mother's dress. Before the maternal hand could descend Nellie turned her face to say: "Well, if I'm going to be spanked I must have air."—Harper's.

Mr. Joacker Tells of One Sentenced to Hard Labor for Life. Said Mr. Joacker, who was reading the paper: "Another poor wretch has been given a life sentence at hard labor." Said Mrs. Joacker, who was embroidering blue roses: "Probably he deserves it. What is he guilty of." "Fraud and no visible means of support. He obtained clothes and a fine turnout with no money and nothing collectible. He seems to be larger and stronger than most of that class, yet it is plain that he has never done a tap of work, though he has managed to live well, so far. But the poor fellow takes his sentence hard and cries piteously, protesting his innocence." "The wretch! He must have dealt with perfect fools!" "No, his victim is our own friend, Jack Smith." "That clever lawyer! Do read to me all about it!" "Born to Mr. and Mrs. John Smith, a 12-pound boy."—The Bohemian.

New the Naval Officer Recovered His Lost Buttons. it happened on one of the United States cruisers now at Hampton road, away the Washington Herald. A lieutenant, having met two very charming ladies while ashore, invited them on board for lunch. They came and were shown over the ship. They lingered, having met which was daintily furnished, and they admired his photographs of home. When he was summoned on deck he left them there. Returning, he took them to lunchoon, and having to go on duty in the afternoon, he excused himself so as to get into uniform. Alas! he found that every button on his best coat had been cut off and then he remembered that one of his fair great nieces was in the souvenir question. He got her alone after lunchoon and accused her of the theft and after some prevarication she confessed that the buttons were in her corsage. With some firmness the lieutenant led the culprit to his cabin, pointed silently to the denuded coat on the bunk, produced needle and thread and, going out, locked the door on the outside. In half an hour, the door, found that his coat, was once more in excellent order and then, with great galantry, bowed the lady over the side. She has not been invited to lunchoon on the same ship since. A FASHION FROM WAR. New Flat Watches Took Place of the Old-Time "Turnips." When the neat man takes upp himself a watch as thin as parchment he little thinks that that thin watch results from army regulations. Up to the time of the Allies taking Paris the ordinary watch was convex in shape and called from its outline a "turpin." The officers of the Russian and other armies objected to this because its bulbons form made the uniform of a man on parade look untidy, and because the watch fob. Here in Paris, however, they found that the watchmasters of the Palais Royal had contrived a chronometer who got over the difficulty. Flat watches were the fashion in Paris. The English when they appeared in the streets of the French capital marched in not in gala dress such as the others wore, but in the raiment which they had worn on campaign. Great was the impression that the watchmakers crested they at once adopted the smart flat watch and brought it back to England for our own manufacturers to copy—London Standard. Paddy and Taxes. A voice from the jungle of Burma is heard in the following letter from a missionary correspondent to the Christian Herald: "The Lord has sent me $10 from a friend in New York, which will buy thatch for the three native houses and an addition to this one I live in and pay for its transport here besides. Another gift also came and with it I have paid this new man's wages for one week, bought a small supply of dried fish, paid for a fresh supply of stamps and left a little for daily needs. Our store of rice is helping a woman daily the prayer is offered at morning and evening worship; before the children and heathen visitors, that the Lord will send money for more rice, for paddy and for the taxes, which are now due."

"That is a picture of a mirage, or tata morgana," the traveler. "I took it in the Sahara, not far from Tombukouto. There was really rotting there but sand—wastes on wastes of sand, but my dazzled eyes saw that mirage and my camera saw it, too. This is a only mirage picture I have seen. I saw it in Egypt and in Morocco to photograph various mirages, but always in vain. There are scarcely six mirage photos in existence."

Twenty-Six Different Monetary Units Are in Use. Twenty-eight different monetary units are used by the 48 principal countries of the world. Thus, Great Britain uses the sovereign or pound sterling; France and six other countries of Europe use a unit equal to the franc; and Canada and the United States use the dollar, the dollar being different units raised from 4.4 to 194.3 cents of the United States. They are represented in their turn by coins the values of which are either multiples or are fractional parts of the value of their own chief units, and there are no doubt at least 200 such different coins, not one of which seems to have a value equal to any common known unit of weight, for example, or the ounce of gold, although 43 of these 48 countries have accepted gold as their standard measure of values. In the coinage of the world there seems, indeed, to be little that is logical or reasonable. Adoption of a single monetary unit or base, if not of an universal system of coinage be used in all commemorative coins of the magazine, W. Perry in Moody's Magazine, would be a long step in that evolution through the centuries, because there has been no concerted, well planned and persistent effort to remove the evils of the existing disorder. SPLENDID RACE OF MEN. Natives of the Friendly Islands of Magnificent Physique. "The natives of the Tonga, or Friendly islands, off the east coast of New Zealand, are the finest in physique of any on earth," said E. A. Powell, of Cleveland. Mr. Powell is returning from a business trip to Australia, where he visited several groups of the islands. The five feet in height of the islands is five feet ten inches. Many of them are over six feet. They weigh from 160 to 300 pounds and are very straight, being built in proportion. The women average a greater height than the women of America. They have fine, strong figures and average from 130 to 160 pounds in weight. The five feet straight haired and with features which made the Greeks famous. I firmly believe they are the original Maoris, while the natives of New Zealand are a smaller race—aparently a mixture with the Mongolian race. The islands are crescent shaped and mostly coral. There is, either wealth or poverty on the island, and the race is in evidence and the tribe is exceeding virtuous. The main article of food is the cocoa, and the only drink used is the milk of this nut." Hot or Cold Water. It is a debatable question whether it is a wise practice to drink a cupful of hot water immediately upon rising every morning. The hot-water fiends fancy that they cannot live without their morning drink, but there are reliable physicians who claim that this practice is debilitating to the stomach and that it cannot fall to do injury. The habitual use of cold water is an excellent habit to form. It is natural to drink cold water. Cold water is a tonic to the stomach, as it is to the skin. It gives tonicity to the mucous layer of the stomach. The practice of taking five or six glasses of cold water a day is a good one. It will help to clear the complexion, brighten the eyes, and is said to be almost a certain remedy for puffiness under the eyes. A Great Swimmer A remarkable swim by an eight-year-old horse, says a Kildysart telegram, is occupying the attention of the local inhabitants. It appears that a farmer named Morgan Macmahon, who lives on a small island in the estuary of the Shannon, took the horse by boat to the mainland, and after working it all day turned it loose in the evening with a number of other horses. What was his astonishment to find the faithful animal peacefully grazing near its stable. It was wet as from a swim, and there is not the slightest doubt that the horse had swum all the way from the mainland to the island, a distance of a little less than three miles.—Pall Mall Gazette. Terms of Latin Origin. In a legal sense an "innoendo" was originally an averment made by the plaintiff in a libel action, putting into plain words the injurious sense he detected in an insinulation published by the defendant. It is the obitative case of a common English noun substantive. Another English ablative with a similar modern history is "follo", which literally means "on page" and so. The English language absorbs all cases in this fashion at its pleasure. There is quorum (gentive plural) and omnibus (nominative or nominorum) as an English noun that was once a Latin verb in the first person plural. A farmer has made a discovery that will be of vast importance to farmers during a dry season. He has found that by planting onions and potatoes in the same field in alternate rows the onions, being so strong, bring tears to the eyes of the potatoes in such conditions. The onions are kept moist and a big crop is raised in spite of the drought. It is time to commence putting out your onion sets now.—Reed City (Minn.) Clarion. ____ For an Impaired Appetite.

(Received late for last Weeks issue) The many friends in this city of Mr. and Mrs. James Bell, formerly of Davanport but now of Chicago, will be pained to hear of the death of one of their twin boys, James Benard Bell, age 8 years and 5 months. The funeral services were held in the A. M. E. church by Rev. L. J. Phillips. Mrs. Tillis Records of Council Bluffs is visiting in our city. Mrs. Barton of Chicago is a guest of Mrs. Kugene Perkins. The Missionary society of the A. M. E. church had a social at the home of Mrs. W. B. Hill Monday night, which was a grand success. The subject for discussion was "Does the fear of punishment or the hope of reward have the greatest influence on human conduct?" The discussion was opened by Mrs. S. V. Bean in her usual pleasing manner. Several splendid musical numbers were rendered by a male quartet who were passing through the city arcuate to Galesburg to fill a Chauquiqua engagement. Their presence was greatly appreciated by the society. The funeral of aunt Lucy Williams was held at the A. M. E. church last Friday. The church desires to thank friends for a donation of $43.20 to pay funeral expense. Aunt Lucy was doubtless the oldest person in Scott county.
