DES MOINES IOWA, FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 1908. FREDERICKS WAS DISMISSED BY COURTS Lamont Frederick the young Negro accused of the brutal assault and robbery of Mrs. W. S. Risser, is a free man. The charge against him was dismissed and he was released from custody by order of Judge McHenry with the consent of Attorney De Graff in the criminal court after all the evidence in his case had been taken and the lawyers were preparing for their arguments to the jury. The sudden termination in the case resulted from an absolute failure of the authorities to connect the young man in any way with the horrible crime. The dismissal of the case camelas a complete vindication but there was no doubt as to the defenders innocence from the preponderance of evidence introduced to show it. The country attorney realized it and said afterward that he could not have conscientiously faced the jury and ask the twelve men to convict the Negro. The judge concurred in this asserting that he was convinced in his own mind that the authorities had made a mistake and got the wrong man. S. Joe Brown attorney for Fredericks, grasped the hand of the prosecutor and exclaimed, "you certainly have shown yourself a man by your conduct in dropping this case, especially when you are right in the middle of a political campaign. I assure you it will not injure you in any way with the colored people of Des Moines." IOWA CLUBS OF COLORED WOMEN The sixth annual meeting of the Iowa Colored Women's Clubs convened in Buxton.

Douglass' Portrait. On Saturday afternoon June 20 there will be exercises in the Art Department in the Hall of History at the Historical building, which is near the State Capitol, a very unique and interesting exercises for many reasons. First, it will be the placing and unveiling of a colored man's picture in that great Art Hall; which is the first instance of the kind in the northwest. The fine oil painting of the Hon. Frederick Douglass, which now hangs in the Governor's office, after it has been fin- State Capital 13119. ished more than a year at the cost of many hundred dollars will on Saturday afternoon be placed in its final resting place. The Iowa Legislature appropriated $250.00 upon the purchase price of this painting. The success of securing this picture is due to Mr. Wm. Coalson, who conceived the notion of having the picture of a distinguished colored man in the capitol building. He organized an association in 1896, known as the "Douglass Clark Portrait Commission." The articles of the association read as follows and signed by the names following the article of association. We, the undersigned, do hereby associate ourselves together as a Board of Commissioners for the purpose of raising five hundred dollars for the purchas of oilpainting of Hon. Frederick Douglass and Hon. Alexander Clark; the portraits to be presented to the Historical Department of the State of Iowa on or before the twenty-second day of September, A. D., 1897. Said commission shall consist of six members who from their own number shall elect a president, a vice president, a secretary and a treasurer. For the present these officers are: President, Jefferson Logan; vice president, Henry Clay: secretary, Horace H. Lewis: treasurer, Charles W. Henry. In testimony whereof, witness our hands this 10th., day of December, 1896. Subscribed and sworn to before me by the above person all of whom are to me personally known, this 10th., day of December A. D., 1896. F. W. Meyers, Notary Public in and for Polk County, Iowa Subscribed and sworn to before me by John Walker, Dec. 12th., 1896. After organization failed to raise any amount another was organized and finally that failed, but through Mr. Coalson's zealous work, he has finally succeeded in securing the portrait of Mr. Douglass. Most of the money has been raised by subscription contributed mostly by white people; yet it is the duty of every colored man to be over at the Historical building on that afternoon and hear the exercises that will be rendered.

The latest retirements of Alfons landmatter indicate the authorities' priority to be 12,200. It is claimed that the results of a lower majority sent out from Fos Malin are not correct. Dos Medias — According to its official returns gathered by the Receiver and Lander from county authorities of the state, Senator Alfons' majority over Cummins is 10,625. This is somewhat at variance with the estimates made previously, but only ally so. Alfonsa The Receiver and Leader figures keep the majority between 10,000 and 11,000. Allison manages at Dalhousie claim more than 12,000. The Curroll majority is still increasing and practically complete figures give it as 23,000. Curious things are disclosed by an examination of the returns of the primary election. For instance, it is apparent that the Teenth and Eleventh districts were a tremendous disparity to the Cummins faction. The Teenth gave less than 4,500 majority, and the Eleventh less than 3,000. They had been counted at about 1,000 and 600 respectively. The Second district surprised the Cummins people. It gave nearly 3,500 against the governor. Only about 1,000 of this was turned by the county of Scott. That the Third would go nearly 2,700 against the governor was not anticipated. The Sixth district furnished the only real comfort for the progressive faction. It went by less than 2,800 against Cummins. It had been claimed by radical standpoints to be ready to give Allison 5,000 majority, and some of them thought it might give 6,000. The figures on the contest for the gubernatorial nomination give Garst 35,187, Carroll 31,67 and Hamilton M.P.H. V. B. Allison. 12.029, indicating a plurality of 22, also for Carroll. For lieutenant governor Clarke has 50.935 as against 32.355 for Murphy and a much smaller vote for Wilson. For railroad commissioner Ketchum leads with 42.579 votes, walley Cookfield has 24.543 and Kys 27.542. For auditor Blakley has a good majority over Hopkins, and John F. Riggs is nominated, or state superintendent. In the congressional contest, results were as follows: Second—A. E. Lawson. R.; Merk Walsch. D. Third—Charles. E. Pickett. R. Charles Elliott. D.

Some Interesting Results of the Primary. Les Melnes—Some extremely interesting results in the primary who respect to the nomination or reelection candidates for the legislature were noted when the returns on 'e' slaughter came in. For instance, John J. Jackson of Woodbury county was defeated for remainder(s), for senator by Robert Hunter. Mr. Hunter became a candidate when Mr. Jackson announced that he would not abide by the result of the primary election unless contained to the result in his own county. Mr. Hunter announced him if a candidate on the platform of adding by one state primary. He obtained Senator Jackson, who only asked for a second term, by a vote at 2:581 to 1:76, although Senator Ellen carried the county by about the majority. At the same time Q. E. Ward de- served W. W. Medilla h. c. the same by a vote at 2:599 to 1:425. La Teyler county M. L. Burt defeated W. D. Blackmore for representative by a majority of thirty, although Senator Allison carried the county by a slight 500. Two sons of Gov. W. Lurrabee will sit in the Teyler third general assembly. Floodier Lurrabee of Fort Dodge was nominated by the republicans for senator by a large majority. He had 1,155 votes in Wester county, although Governor Commits carried it by only 200. William Lurrabee Jr. was nominated for representative by the republicans in Fayette county. George W. Tilton defeated A. M. Rance for the house in Iowa county. It was a three-sided fight. Raney got 615 votes. Robert Sheed idhom received 271 and Tilton did 357. As 248 is 65 per cent of the total Mr. Tilton is nominated. The closest shave that any of the candidates had with respect to the 55 per cent clause was in Hancock county, where A. C. Ripley was nominated for the house with 559 votes in 1,540. Thirty-five per cent of the 1,540 was 52. Dave Brunt was nominated by the republicans in the Iowa Johnson district for the senator. J. A. White was nominated by the democrats against him. Brunt lives in Johnson and White in Iowa county. J. C. Samuels was nominated for senator in the Cherokee-Ida-Plymouth district by a narrow margin, having but sixyour majority to a vote of 4000. His nomination has been ceded. G. F. Colburn was the standby candidate. C. A. Meredith of Cass county was nominated for the house of representatives over J. W. Scott by a vote of 1,132 to 942. Mr. Scott had declared that he would not abide by the primary result unless it conformed to the result in Cass county, which was carried by Allison. Mr. Meredith made the opposite pledge to abide by the primary result in the state. George Cossen of Anduba county defeated W. C. Elliott, also of Anduba, tor senator in the Abdullah-Elahas Guthrie district. The district was carried by Mr. Cosson by 541, although Senator Allison carried it by about 350. Mr. Cosson is a progressive. State Chairman C. W. Miller was nominated for the house by the Bremer democrats over Nat Ellis by about 750 majority. L. D. Teter of Marion county was 're nominated. Tare were two other candidates, but his vote exceeded their combined vote. Mr. Teter expects to be a candidate for speaker. George Leong, editor of the Manson Journal, was defeated in Calhoun county by J. W. Jacobs. Susan C. G. Saunders of Postwilletton county was nominated over G. H. Scott by about 625 votes, the normal standout majority in this election. Guy A. Freely of Black Hawk county was easily nominated. He is a progressive, and the county went about 500 for Allison. FLEET IS DESTROYED. Forty Vaccels and 250 Lives Lost In Typhoon Victoria, B. C., June 5.—The Canadian-Australian liner Manuka has arrived here bringing news of the destruction of the pearling fleet in a typhoon off West Australia, involving the loss of forty luggers and 270 lives, twenty being whites. The disaster to the fleet of pearling luggers occurred near Thursday island, a typhoon striking the fleet just as it was starting for the pearling grounds, scattering the vessels, completely wrecking some and driving others ashore. About twenty Australian pearls were lost. Others were Malaysans, Japanese and Kanakes. Survivors reported harrowing experiences, some being picked up in the last stages of exhaustion after having cut out their masts and clinging to the hulks while sharks followed, waiting for the exhausted man to drop from the wreckage. Many were resented by the steamer Paro, sent from Bromine as a relief steamer. The bodies of some of the victims were eaten by sharks and the beach near Bromine presented a terrific sight, covered with wreckage and bodies.

BAD ITCHING HUMOR Limbs Below the Knees Were Raw— Feet Swollen—Sleep Broken— Cured in 2 Days by Cuticura. "Some two months ago I had a hun- ner break out on my limbs below my knees. They came to look like raw beetlehead, all red, and no one knows how they itched and burned. They were so swollen that I could not get my shoes on for a work or more. I used two or six different remedies and get no help, only when applying them the morning was worse and the itching less. For two or three weeks the suffering was intense and during that time I did not sleep an hour at a time. Then one morning I tried a bit of Cuticura. From the moment it touched me the itching was gone and I have not felt a bit of it since. The swelling went down and in two days I had my shoes on and was about as usual. George B.

If parents realized the fact that coffee contains a drug—caffeine—which is especially harmful to children, they would doublestilize before giving the babies coffee to drink. "When I was a child in my mother's arms and first began to nibble things at the table, mother used to give me slips of coffee. As my parents used coffee exclusively at meals, I never knew there was anything to drink but coffee and water. "And so I contracted the coffee habit early. I remember when quite young, the continual use of coffee so affected my parents that they tried roasting what at night, then ground it in the coffee milk, is a substitute for coffee. "But it did not taste right and they went back to coffee again. That was long before Postum was ever heard of. I continued to use coffee until I was 27, I still had I got into once work, I began to have new jobs. After breakfast I was so nervous I could concentrate on my correspondence. "At night, after having coffee for dinner, I still hardly sleep, and on rising in the morning would feel weak and nervous. "A well persuaded me to try Postum. My wife and I did not like it at first, but joy, boiled good and strong it was fine. Now we would not give up Postum for the best coffee we ever tasted.

Again The Iowa State Bystander has counted off another 52 weeks entering upon its 15th year it is but gratifying to know that we have sailed upon the tempestious journalistic sea for 15 years without missing a single issue while we may not have advanced as we expected to, or even what our friends had hoped for, yet we think we have made some improvements in the way of location, office equipments etc., but after all we are glad that we are able to be here struggling for an existence, [for you all know that the subscribers do not pay up as they should.] We congratulate ourselves upon what little we have done to society in the community. Fifteen years ago when the organizers of the Bystander formed a newspaper company of ten good honest earnest men, their only object was to have a Negro Journal that would live 2nd., to give the people all the news and avoid church quarrels and factional fights and to seek to lift up and elevate care not for any percury profit at all, then this company of men named it Iowa STATE BYSTANDER The word "Bystander" was taken from the strong articles that the Hon. Judge Albion D. Tourgee of Marysville, N. Y., who at that time was writing articles for the Chicago Inter Ocean, under the headline of Bystander Notes, about the cruel treatment of the Colored man in the South and elsewhere his trenchant pen was a mighty power in arousing this nation to its full duty toward the Freedmen. There has only been two editors and two business managers, Chas. S. Ruff, was its first editor and John L. Thompson his successor, John D. Keeler its first business manager, J. H. Shephard his successor. We thank our subscribers for past favors and hope to do better this new year. PRESS NOTES. will try and be present at the meeting of the Press Association.

Many Improvements Noted. Tuskegee, May 28 — (Special.)—The twenty-seventh annual commencement of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute has come to an end. The number of students enrolled this year is about the same as last year and for several years past. The boarding students have reached 1,631—1,085 young men, 536 young women. Counting students in Tuskegee town night school and the town cooking school, with children enrolled in the "children's house" or training school for teachers, the total number is very near the 2,000 mark. Thirty-eight States and Territories and twenty-one foreign countries have been represented. Alabama leads with 498, Georgia with 200, and other States with fifty and over: Florida Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee Texas, from Central and South America, the West Indies and Africa the number of students and interest is steadily increasing, Cuba, Jamica and Porto Rica show the largest increase. Five are present from Africa and one from Japan. An interesting feature of the commencement this week has been the presence of the envoys from the Republic of Liberia, Africa, G. W. Gibson, a former president of the republic, and secretary of state J. J Dorren vice president, Charles B. Dunbar; Attorney and Charles Branch, secretary. All except President Gibson were born in Liberia, and he has been there since he was three years of age. They have shown very great interest in every phase of the school's work and especially in the industrial features many of which they hope to introduce in their own country. There is unusual activity among the Alumun this year and a very large number are present. The class of its holds a re-union in honor of its twentieth anniversary and one of its members will represent it on the commencement program. MANY IMPRONEMENTS. The year has been one of marked improvements. The green house has been nearly doubled in size, the printing office has secured its long sought large "optinus" press and a lvotype machine. A responsible company is putting in a system of water works to be supplied from artesian wells P. M. REV. A. L. DeMond, Editor of the Buxton Gazette, Buxton, Ia. Gas Ranges & Water Heaters We have on exhibition at our office a complete line of Gas Ranges and Water Heaters, which we would be very glad to show you in operation, or: if you prefer, we will have one of our representatives call and explain the many advantages of gas or fuel purposes. The convenience, economy and efficiency of a Gas Range has demonstrated its value for all-year use. A Gas Water Heater is as clean, economical and labor saving as a Gas Range. After the burner is lighted a short time, hot water may be drawn from any faucet in the house in the usual manner. There is no more convenient way to get hot water for the bath, other purposes, at small expense. We connect Water Heaters to the circulating boiler complete for $10.00. The Des Moines Gas Company They guarantee a minimum supply of 220,000 gallons of water per day. Large additions have been made to the orchard, strawberry culture has received a new impetus and large attention has been given to figs and vineyards, 6,000 quarts of strawberries have been picked up to date. The horse barnes have been enlarged and improved and poultry raising and bee culture have been put on a much better basis. The large dining rooms and kitchens for teachers and students will soon be ready for use. The "Alexander Moss White Memorial" dormitory for girls to cost $30,000 is in the second story. Efforts are constantly being made to improve the internal work of the school. The very best teachers are sought for every department and every effort is made to make the industrial and litterary supplement each other. Several hundred students remain at the school during the summer and work on the farm and in the various shops. Provision has been made this year by which those who have been conditioned in any study, or who wish to pursue a subject farther can do so in the nightschool'. Careful note of their work will be made and they will receive credit for it on their regular course. Many are planning to take advantage of this.

Our family were all born and raised in Iowa, and have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera, and Diarrhoe Remedy (made at Des Moines) for years. We know how good it is from long experience in the use of it. In fact, when in El Paso, Texas, the writer's life was saved by the prompt use of this remedy. We are now engaged in the mercantile business at Narcossee, Fla. and have introduced the remedy here. It has proven very successful and is constantly growing in favor—Ennis Bros.
