FURGERSON A HERO.
Last Saturday afternoon about 3 o'clock, four prominent white men started up the river in a gasoline launch for a pleasure trip, and before they had gone far the launch became disabled and was carried by the swift whirling water over the Center street dam. Two were drowned, one swam to shore and the other young man was fast drowning in the presence of fifty or more spectators who seemed powerless to render any assistance, when Grant Furgerson plunged into the river and rescued the young man when it seemed as if he too would be swept under by the angry waves.
Who can say that the Negro's heart did not glow with genuine love for his fellowman? Can the records produce a greater hero? Still our daily papers scarcely told the public that a Negro's love for mankind sent him where fifty or more dare go. We would ask those editors to be honest with our people. A few weeks ago they could not find headlines large enough to chronicle Brown's crime and used every argument possible to condemn a whole race for the acts of one. We are free to state that there are some who cannot look with favor on anything that the race may do. Whether Mr. Furgerson is ever credited for the deed of last Saturday, he is none the less a hero, and in the minds of all honest people who know of his act, regardless of color, he will be honored for this deed
CAMPAIGN OF 1908
In a few day will begin the fourteenth quadrennial campaign between Republican and Democrat parties. Almost fifty years have passed since the Republican party was organized, and all these years it has challenged and condemned the Democratic principles. Bitter indeed have been some of these contests as to the soundness of those principles. It would be well for young men to examine history of these two contesting parties and see which have and is now representing the principles that should secure the vote of every honest man.
The first great issue was human liberty, then came the reconstruction which followed the war. It is not necessary for us to repeat the many issues which have been before the people, for every school boy and girl knows on which side the great men and women who love humanity have been. Follow this list down to this moment and then ask yourself the question; could the Republican party have nominated better standard barers than Taft and Cummins.
We believe they will carry forward the same principles which Lincoln and his follows brought out in that great convention almost a half century ago. This campaign means as much to the American people as the one when Lincoln and Hamlin ran. It means as much to you and me as it does to any one. We are anxious least someone be misled, when the leaders on the other side begin to juggle with the issues. Let us remember that Tillman and Bryan are the Democratic party.
We never have or ever will believe that the bolting Republican is a safe guide.
Who are the men who are opposed to Taft, and who are behind them.
No Need of Suffering from Rheumatism.
It is a mistake to allow rheumatism to become chronic, as the pain can always be relieved, and in most cases a cure effected by applying Chamberlain's Pain Palm. The relief from pain which it affords is alone worth many times its cost. It makes sleep and rest possible. Even in cases of long standing this inlimitation should be used on account of the relief which it affords. 35 and 50 cent sizes for sale by all drugrists.

Negro Press Association
The Negro editors of the West met in convention in this city June 10th, and 11th, and took a slap at President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft on account of the Brownsville affair by commending Senator Foraker in regard to his stand in the matter and asking congressional action to restore the discharged soldiers and secure for them their back pay.
President Roosevelt, however is commended for his efforts to secure equality of transportation accommodations for the Negro in the South.
Extremely conservative resolutions were adopted respecting the corporation. It was declared that there should be no "in-their fight" on the railroad and other corporation.
The editors passed resolutions relative to the states where Negroes are denied the right to vote. They ask that congress take some action at once to punish these states for violating the constitution of the United States or make a reduction in the number of representatives from those states in congress.
The entire set of resolutions as submitted by the resolution committee, Nick Chiles, J. L. Thompson of Des Moines, Rev. A. L. DeMond, Rev. W. S. Brooks and J. B. Bass, of Helena, Mont., follows:
Again we are grateful to the All Wise Providence, that we are able to extend these resolutions to the public.
Therefore, we, your committee on resolutions, beg leave to submit the following:
Be it resolved by the twelfth annual session of the Western Negro Press Association, which meet in this city last week—
First—That we hope that the two hundred or more newspapers and magazines published by our race throughout the West will give more space in urging the race to engage in farming, in conducting business enterprises, in the purchasing of homes, and in the participation in public and general reforms as will result in the good of all the people regardless of race, creed or color.
Second—That we discern better times ahead for those who push and strive to better their condition.
Third—That we thank the iron and tin workers union in accepting colored men and we urge the young colored men to take advantage of these golden opportunities.
Fourth—We commend Senator Foraker of Ohio in his many stand that he has taken in regards to the Brownsville affair.
Fifth—That as are there has been no evidence of guilt so far found that can connect the colored soldiers in the shooting up of Brownsville, be it resolved
That we urge congress to take such steps that will restore the company to their original standing in the army, and also that they secure all back pay for the time that they have been out.
Ninth—That we commend President Roosevelt in ordering the enforcement of the interstate commerce law in reference to passengers in the South so that it will apply to the white and black alike, and we urge the enforcement of the same.
Seventh—Whereas there has been a tendency to rob the freedman and the Indian of their lands in Oklahoma country by removing the restrictions of these lands, as congress has passed such a bill, and is now before the president for signature, it be resolved.
That we beseech and humbly ask him not to sign the bill, as the thousands of the colored people ask that it be not signed, as it will mean in a short time there will be a great number of homeless people.
Fighth—That we are opposed to further fight on the railroads and other corporations that furnish capital and work for the laboring classes, and if continued it will mean a heavy loss to these concerns and thousands of idle people. We ask for a liberal interpretation of the laws with careful enforcement.
Ninth—Be it further resolved that in view of the fact that many of our race are coming from the South, we urge them to go West and become owners of land before it is too late. We will encourage all honest and deserving people to do so.
Tenth—That we further urge the suppression of peonage which exists in many of the southern states.
Eleventh-That we urge upon our people the importance of thoroughly identifying themselves with the best elements of American life, especially those that are uplifting to the race. Twelfth-Be it further resolved
That we urge congress to take some action by constitution procedure or by special enactment where by those states which have violated the constitution of the United States be punished or else a reduction of representatives in congress be made. We hope that the national convention which meets in Chicago soon will engraft a plank relating to the reduction of representatives from the states, or if possible make the plank stronger.
Thirteenth-That we command Blash Grant Booker, T. Washington, W. T. Vernon, for the great work they are doing, for the race and we wish them success.
Fourthteenth-Whereas for the past year there has been a great progress in temperance reforms; be it resolved that we commend the successful efforts already put forth in this great work and hope that they will continue to do so.
Fifteenth-That we commend the newspaper organizations of this country for the great fight that they are making on the paper trust and we hope that at the next congress the tariff will be taken off of wood pulp, or in other words, pertaining to the manufacturing of paper.
Fifteenth-That we commend the newspaper organizations of this counfor their great fight they are making on the paper trust and we hope that at the next congress the tariff will be taken off of wood pulp, or in other words, pertaining to the manufacturing of paper.
There is a general opinion among the visiting editors that steps should be taken at once toward the establishing a newspaper syndicate for the benefit of their papers. President W. H. Dunern of the association strongly advocated this in his annual address, stating that the Negroes as a race never did receive a square deal at the hands of the white news gathering agencies. "You who are actively engaged in the newspaper work," he said, "know as well as I do, if not better, that we as a race are denied a square deal by our more favorable white news gathering agencies, especially The Associated Press, at present dominated by a corterie of men whose southern ideas are prejudiced against the Negroes uplift, against his color and condition of circumstances."
The session of the editors closed with a meeting at the Union Congregational church, Tenth and Park Sts. in the evening. Hon. Harvey Ingram made the address of welcome on behalf of the state and city. Nick Childs of Topeko, Kas, responded in behalf of the associia ion. He was followed by J. B. Bass of Helena, Montana.
June 10th there was no session held because of the recent rains and washouts the delegates were all delayed about six to ten hours. So the evening session was held at the Union Congregational church Mr. John L. Thompson, presided; Rev. W. H. Porter opened the meeting with prayer, an address by Rev. A. L. DeMond, editor of the Buxton Gazette, instrumental solo by Miss Nina Fields which was very fine she was enclosed and a pairedio on "Old Black Joe," Dr. J. Dulin one of our highly esteemed and successful doctors who helped to organize the first Colored newspaper west of the Mississippi river the Freedman Journal of Brookfield, Mo., Henry Stanton, of our city was the editor. Dr. Dulin made an encouraging address then an instrumental solo by Miss Daiza Goggins was delightfully rendered. Thursday morning owing to the absence of the军官 to the president W. H. Duncan of Colorado, John L. Thompson of Missouri, the vice president opened the meeting with prayer by the Rev. W. Sampon Brookes, then Miss Martin of Ottumwa was nominated tor secretary; and Miss Parker of Albia as assistant with Miss Francis Walker of Des Mines, the official stenographer then the roll call of officers found a majority of the chairman appointed the following committees credentials, J. B. Bass of Montana, H. W. Porter, of Iowa Miss Mayme Richardson of Illinois; on resolutions and address to public Nick Childs, of Kensa, Jos C. Bass of Montana, A. L. DeMond of Iowa, and by motion this committee was enlarged adding Rev. W. S. Brooks and John L. Thompson. On nominations and location of 1909 meeting, A. L. DeMond, Miss May Davis, Mrs. Gertrude S. Johnson and A. G. Clark. The minutes of 1907 were read and approved, then the president annual address was then read, then the visitors were introduced as follows: Rev. W. Sampon Brooks, C. B. Woods and Rev. Geiger, the meeting then adjourned until 2 p. m.
The afternoon session with prayer by Rev. S. Bates, the meeting was very largely attended, a paper was read by Mrs. S. Joe Brown, "Negro Women in Journalism," it was an excellent paper and well delivered, it was then discussed by the following visitors: Mr. Geo. H. Woodson, of Oksaloosa, Rev. S. Bates, J. B. Rush, Dr. J. H. Williams, S. Joe Brown Rev. H. W. Porter, Miss May Davis of Albia read a paper "The Benefit and Duties of Correspondents." It was very good and should be read by all we will publish it. Then the different committees reported and then adjournment was taken until the evening session at the church when a reception was tendered the visitors. After singing "My Country tis of Thee," prayer was offered by Rev. T. L. Griffon, the Hon. Harvey Harvey editor the Register and Leader welcomed the editors here in behalf of the state and city which was well received, editor Nice Childs responded, then a solo by

Re.v H. W. Porter's Visit to Gedar Rapids and What
Cedar Rapids is one of the most beautiful and enterprising small cities in the West; with a busy population of both white and colored.
Among the many things worthy of mention is the fact that the Negro population is solving the Negro problem by acting, rather than talking.
Marshall's Restaurant is the most up-to-date Negro restaurant I ever took a meal in, everything is as neat and business like as you would find in any business run by a white man. Both white and colored take their meals at Marshall's Restaurant.
There are other men in Cedar Rapids among the Nogroes who are doing things. Mr. Thomas, a master machinist, working for the Rock Island R. R; Mr. Peekins, carpet cleaner; Mr. Fields, barber and each one working faithfully each day at their place of business. But the family that is really doing more to prove what the Negro can do to prove themselves men and women is Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Milligan. They have ten acres two miles from the city of Cedar Rapids and there is not a small farm in the state of Iowa in any better condition. There is nothing more charming than to walk over their farm and note vegetables, cherries, peaches, apples, gooseberries, raspberries, strawberries, plums in abundance; ard bees and honey—all of this stuff growing and much of it already having been gathered and sold and much being gathered. It is marvelous to see what a little push, pluck and perseverance will accomplish. On Monday morning I went out into the strawberry patch and gathered twelve quarts of as fine strawberries as ever grew on a vine. There is no problem when the colored farmer can have in his field twenty white girls and women picking his berries and his wife sitting in the field only to see it well done. There is no problem when the colored farmer can make for his own use his bee hives and furnish his white neighbors. It seemed to me that Mr. Milligan has all of the bees in Cedar Rapids. When I noted three swarms out at one time to be hived, and while he was working among two hives all swarming a about him, handling them with as much ease as he could handle a dozen birds. I was running from one bee and then was stung.
To my mind the man who is accomplished in some one profession will accomplish more in this country for the race than a race of talkers who never did anything and are not willing to be taught. The producers and not the consumers are the men needed to move the world today. Let more of our men, women, boys and girls get busy on some of this land laying waste in this country.
The Rev. Moore, pastor of the A. M. E. church, is doing an excellent work for the people. Rev. Moore is a gentleman of intelligence and is highly respected by the white ministers of Cedar Rapids and all who know him.
I am more and more convinced that we can only be men and women as fast as we, be, do, and have something.
The young man or woman who isn't a tax payer, business or professional man or woman will more and more have to retrograde.
Get money and property and you will have power and influence. You are supposed to have an education and if your having been born since emancipation and haven't an education you are of all creatures most miserable and unfit for the duties of life.
Talk less, and act more, spend less and save more, complain less and be more contented and you will be heard and known in any town, city or state.
I change Cowpe's lines a little:
Curly lips and dark skin
Doth not forget natures blace;
Skin may differ, but creation
Holds the white and black man.

Helpful Children.
Children are naturally restless and inclined to be busy, and this activity is susceptible of being trained and directed in the right channel. Children may be taught, when quite young, to perform light duties, each child having some particular task, for the accomplishment of which he is responsible to the parents or guardian. They will thus learn to bear the yoke of duty while young, and the performance of their little tasks will become a pleasure, bringing them a happiness that is only gained by well-doing. They will become accustomed to work and responsibility, and will enjoy employment, perceiving that life holds for them more important business than that of simply amusing themselves. In the fulfillment of their appointed tasks strength of memory and a right balance of mind may be gained, as well as stability of character and system. The day, with its round of little duties, calls for thought, calculation, and a plan of action. As the children become older, still more can be required of them, says the New York Weekly. It should not be exhaustive labor, nor should their work be so protracted as to fatigue and discourage them; but it should be judiciously selected, with reference to the physical development most desirable, and the proper cultivation of the mind and character. Work is in every way beneficial for children; they are happier to be usefully employed a part of the time; their innocent amusements are enjoyed with a keener zest after the successful completion of their tasks. Labor strengthens both the muscles and the mind. Mothers make precious little helpers of their children; and while teaching them to be useful they may themselves gain knowledge of human nature and how to deal with fresh young beings, and keep their hearts warm and youthful by contact with their little ones, and also teach the little ones to look to them in confidence and love. Children that are properly trained, as they grow older learn to love that labor which makes the burden of their friends lighter. This daily employment closes the door to many temptations to which the indolent are exposed.
Score another for that invincible weapon of offense and defense, the hatpin. In the hands of a woman entirely courageous and skillful the hatpin puts the boldest criminal to ignominious flight. One of the greatest victories recorded is that of a woman who, with a hatpin in each hand, withstood four highwaymen who undertook to hold her up and rob her in a lonely street in Brooklyn. One of the men seized the lady roughly by the arm, whereupon she dislodged the hatpins and put them into vigorous action. Although so largely outnumbered, her defense was most successful. The hatpins played with such lightning-like celocity that each of the assassists received at least one jab, and one man had several perforations. Three of the miscreants finally found safety by running away, but the fourth was held and lodged in the police station, with a charge of assault preferred against him by the plucky welder of the hatpin. If such an act does not entitle the victor to a medal for herolism, remarks the Troy (N. Y.) Times, what is the use of providing for such recognition?
It is well known that cancer has apparently increased to a considerable degree during the last 25 or 30 years. A prominent Boston physician, in a recent public lecture under the auspices of the Harvard medical school, made a statement which is in part an explanation of this increase. It is due, he said, merely to the fact that better sanitary conditions and a greater knowledge of contagious diseases permit more people to live to the age when cancer most commonly develops—from 50 to 55. The explanation is interesting, will be new to many persons, and coming from such a source is entitled to much consideration.

TAFT ON THE FIRST BALLOT
The War Secretary Receives Republican Nomination for the Presidency--Minority Report on Platform Is Defeated in the Convention--Wild Scenes in the Big Hall.
TERRORS OF BALLOONING.
The convention adopted the platform framed for it by the resolutions committee, headed by Senator A. J. Hopkins. It voted down a minority report containing radical planks and said to represent the views of Senator La-Follette of Wisconsin. The minority report was presented by Representative Cooper of the State. The vote on the nomination was held. Following the adoption of the platform the names of the different candidates for the nomination were placed before the convention. Congressman Boutell named Speaker Cannon and the demonstration given the Speaker lasted fully 15 minutes. The demonstrations were repeated as each favorite son was named, and the presentation of Secretary Taft was greeted by unusual applause, the delegates and the visitors filling the great hall. The convention named of Senator La-Follette closed the list, and the convention proceeded to the balloting for a nominee.
Burton Names Taft.
Chicago.—Wild cheers from thousands of threats greeted the placing in nomination of Hon. William Howard Taft of Ohio for the presidency by Representative Theodore E. Burton at the Republican Colleges. More than 700 of the 980 delegates to the convention rose in their seats and yelled themselves hoarse when Mr. Burton had concluded his speech introducing the name of Roosevelt's right hand man to the body of delegates gathered in the convention to represent as standard bearer in the fight at the polls this fall.
Outbursts of cheers at times during Mr. E. Vron'ts speech interrupted him, but after a few moments' pause he continued. It was at the end of his address that the real pandemonium broke loose. Hundreds in the remote parts of the Coliseum had not heard a word of the speech because of the monstrous proportions of the building, but Mr. Burton's resuming his seat on the speaker's platform was signal on how he knew the idea that Taff's name had been placed in nomination, and then the demonstration broke loose.
Mr. Burton said: "This convention enters on."
Not to the Aeronaut, but to the Man on Earth Below Him.

grave responsibility of selecting a presidential candidate with the serene assurance that the Republican party will continue to rule this people. It is especially appropriate that this gathing should be held in this marvelous setting, where the righteous uprising against slavery and Bourbonism, sprung from the nation's conscience, raised its first trumpphant voice when Abraham Lincoln was nominated. And here, again, with notes of thunderous acclaim, enraptured throngs greeted the naming of the president, Blaire of, Harlond, and of Roosevelt.

fined to the harrow limits of a single commonwealth. To-day with fervid earnestness we wage a contest for the prize. To-morrow, united for the fray and quickened by a common fiery zeal, the champion is held with confidence and with mounting enthusiasm to vanquish the foe. "The most perplexing questions of to-day arise from the bountiful development of our material wealth.
"Against all these abuses and in the work for restoring old ideals of honesty and equality, as well as for higher standards of civic duty, one man has stood pre-eminent, and that man is Theodore Roosevelt. Against corruption in every form he has set his face with grim determination, prompt and fearless in action and with that intelligent leadership which has assured the establishment of a better era in which the strong and the weak alike must submit themselves to the impartial execution of the law. The story of his achievements will up one of the achievements in the life of our age and will prove that today, as in any critical hour of social unrest or of danger, the man will appear who can grapple with the emergency.
"Who so fit to take up the tasks which this wondrous generation demands should be wisely and impartially performed as his great war see retary? Since the day when, in Benjamin Harrison's administration, these two first met—the one as solicitor general, the other as a member of the civil service commission—the they have been bound together by like ideals and aims, by close ties of friendship, and by the exchange of mutual counsel each with his own individuality and relative keeping, constantly view the enmobling vision of a better and a greater Amerence. Since the day when, less than 30 years of age, Mr Taft denounced, with burning words a member of his profession who had been guilty of fragrantly vicious practices.
Dealt with Dependencies.
"More than any other of our public men he has had to do with our outlying dependencies and colonial relations. It was he who took in charge the prosecution of that colossal enterprise on the isthmus, the canal uniting the lesser and the greater oceans, and under his directing hand the completion of this most stupendous of public works is no longer a vague and insignificant task. With his everready skill as a mediator, he restored tranquility in the fertile island of Cuba, so often distracted by civil strife. In the fareoffilippines, under a blazing tropical sky, he found a people of many races and tribes, degraded by centuries of misrule and oppression; and there too had no body cast in place of confusion and bloody strife, but showed the way to self government, and a new recognition of the rights of man.
Knows Conditions of Orient.
"Secretary Taft has exceptional familiarity with conditions in the distant orient—in Japan, in China. We may rest assured that our traditional friendship with Japan will continue. Moreover, the future promises that the slumbering millions of China will awake from the lethargy of ages, and she then will realize that the morning dawn of freer life and wider outlook comes to her across the bread Pacific from tree America, her trust friend and helper. We cover no portion of the world. We will receive from all nations, increased good will and that natural respect which knows neither bluster nor cringing on either side. Thus in this new era of larger relations, Secretary Taft, with his comprehension of national and international subjects, would furnish a certainty of peace and sustained prestige. Under him, at home and everywhere, this might people would have an assured confidence in the secure development and progress of the country and would rest safe in the country. We will help the helm who, in peace or in war, would guide the destinies of the nation with a strong hand and with a gentle, patriotic heart.

ROOSEVELT DEMONSTRATION.
Delegates and Spectators Wildly Cheese
President for 45 Minutes.
The second day of the Republican national convention brought the long-expected Roosevelt yell, a whirlwind of enthusiasm which raged within the vast amphitheater of the Coliseum for full 45 minutes Wednesday, and for a time presented to the tildd the specter of a Roosevelt stampede. This demonstration was decidedly the feature of a day after otherwise notable for a stirring speech from the permanent chairman of the convention. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts, for much practical procedure in placing the president on the hostess and for the final default of the plan to reduce the representation of southern states at future national conventions.
Taft Men All Seated.
Probably the most important act of the day, and the one having greatest significance, was the adoption of the report of the committee on credentials, seating the Taft delegations practically in toto. If there had been any lingering doubt of the Taft strength it disappeared before this decisive action, which in effect placed upwards of 700 delegates in the Taft column. Temporary Chairman Burrows called the convention to order promptly at 12:20, but the delay of committees in reporting gave an hour for diversion before the serious work of the day was begun. This time was given over to the visiting chairmen, with hands and vocal choreography bearing banners and devices of G. O. P. elephants. In front of the delegates paraded this motley throng, eliciting laughter and applause.
Great Roosevelt Demonstration. Mr. Lodge early in his address launched his sentence which electrified the assembly into its first real demonstration of wild enthusiasm.
"The president," exclaimed Mr. Lodge, "is the best abused and most popular man in the United States today."
This was the long awaited signal. Instantly a shout broke from the galleries and was echoed back from the floor, at first only a tapestry and shouts of "Teddy," but gradually gathering force and volume until it swelled to a whirlwind of sound and motion, as delegates and spectators rose en masse, mounting chairs, waving banners, hats, handkerchiefs, flags, newspapers, anything which could be seized up to add turbicease to the scene.
For three-quarteres of an hour the tumult continued, and the Chancellor finished his speech and the business of the convention was resumed.
Permanent Officers Picked.
Permanent officers of the convention were installed as follows during the second day's proceedings:
Chairman — Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge, Massachusetts.
General Secretary—John R. Malloy,
Columbus, O.
Sergeant-at-Arms—William F. Stone, Baltimore.
Parliamentarian—Asher C. Hinds, Washington, D. C.
Chaplains—Ebishop P. J. Muldon, Chicago; Rev. William O. Waters, Chicago; Rev. Tobias Schanfarb, Chicago; Rev. John Wesley Hill, New York; Rev. Lorenzo D. Case, Chicago
The convention then proceeded to the selection of the various committees.
The gavel used to open the convention is of more than passing historic interest being made from a log preserver from old Fort Dearborn. The inside of the cover of the box containing the gavel is left in its rough-hewn condition, showing the deep broad-acut cuts. The mallet is about a foot long and around the head is a silver band, bearing an American flag in colored enamel.

HER DESTINATION IN DOUBT.
Little Girl's Remark Not Complimentary to Grandma.
Ethel is of the mature age of five. Recently her grandmother concluded that it devolved on her to instruct the child in religious matters.
"You must be a good girl, Ethel," she said. "Then you will go to heaven when you also."
Ethel seemed scarcely pleased with this reward for exceptional conduct.
"Don't you want to go to heaven?" asked grandma, with a look of reproach.
"Ob. I don't know," temporized Ethel. "I guess not."
"Why not?" demanded grandma, severely.
"Because maybe I couldn't get out," answered Ethel.
"You wouldn't want to get out," replied grandma.
"Oh, yes, I should," returned Ethel, with conviction.
"No, argued grandma," you would not.
Why should you want to get out of heaven?

WOMAN'S
BACKACHE
The back is the mainspring of woman's organism. It quickly calls attention to trouble aching. It tells, with other symptoms, such as nervousness, headache, pain in the loins, weight in the lower part of the body, that a woman's feminine organism needs immediate attention.
In such cases the one sure remedy which speedily removes the cause, and restores the feminine organism to a healthy, normal condition is LYDIA E. PINKHAM'S VEGETABLE COMPOUND
Mrs. Will You of 6 Columbia Ave, Rockland, Md. says:
"I was troubled for a long time with backaches and a pain in my sida, and I was scared in every way I doctored until I was discouraged and thought I would never get well. I read what Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound had done for others and I was amazed that I could say that I never felt so well in my life.
Mrs. Augustus Lyon, of East Earl, Pa., writes to Mrs. Pinkham:
"I had very severe backaches, and pressing-down pains. I could not sleep, and had no appetite. Lyda E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound made me feel like a new woman."

The Xrays are now used by the fishermen on the coast of Ceylon for distinguishing the oysters containing pearls without opening the shells. A South Sea Islander, whom an English traveler had brought home with him as a servant, in a local tavern was praising up the British constitution, when one of his hearers shouted, "eat the English you known about it! You're not an Englishman. You haven't a drop of English blood in your veins." "Don't you be so sure about that," replied the black; "my grandfather helped to eat Captain Cook." Some of the cabbages in Cuba each grow to be twenty pounds in weight. The difference between high and low life in the Mediterranean, at Algers, is only three and one-half inches.
Mice succeeded in nullifying a made by John Arrowsmith, of Sau Francisco. One clause of the will awarded $5,000, to "my kind nurse, Mrs. Mary Brown." When the will was offered for probate, it was seen that in the place once occupied by the signature there was a ragged bole, ovidently made by mice, which had eaten away the testator's name. A man's brain attains its maximum weight at the age of twenty years; that of a woman at seventeen years; that of a woman at lowest tax rate. A bounty worth two thousand dollars rarely bears a tax over five dollars a year. All pistols sold in Texas have to pay a tax of fifty per cent. It is therefore not strange that nearly all of the pistols disposed of in that State for the past ten months are leased for fifty years, not sold. The leasing rate is about equal to the selling price.
Sagging at Shoulders
Are you letting yourself sag a bit at the shoulders? Don't, if you want to keep either young or well. There is nothing so fatally easy as to grow round-shouldered. Keep a sharp watch on yourself to prevent it.
Each morning stand up against the jamb of a door and see if you have begun to sag. Also walk around your room each day with a piece of broomstick or short umbrella under each arm and brought across the back. This keeps the chest up and head well propped.
Deep breathing exercises, whenever you think of them, will help ward off those round shoulders, also making a practice to wall with the chest up.
This last is the simplest of all preventives, for if it is always practised the rest will follow.
Useful Remodeling Suggestions
Have you a last year's white line suit which requires only a few new little touches to make it suitable for this summer? If so, follow one of the latest ideas from Paris, and introduce a bit of color by using colored cretonne for the trimming. Just a touch of it will be sufficient. Perhaps you will need to make only a new set of cuffs, and possibly an adjustable shaw, collar, which may be worn or removed at your pleasure. Then, again, you could introduce a renovating touch in your line skirt, midcoat and possibly by changing the backline. If your suit happened to have large pearl buttons last season rip them off, buy some molds and cover them with cretonne.
Whose Fault?
We talk so much, and we think so much more, of the trouble we have with others, that we more than half persuade ourselves that if everybody else were just right, we could get out of our own troubles than half of all our troubles, even of our troubles with others, grow out of our own faults and our own failures and not the faults and failures of our people. Until we get rid of ours, or until we are lifted above all selfish thought of ourselves, there are other people who are unaffected other people bear themselves—Home Chat.

"Why doesn't that man get on in politics? He seems capable and industrious." "Yes," answered Senator Sorghum; "he is all that. But he showed bad judgment in selecting his opinions."
"TWO TOPERS."
A Teacher's Experience.
"My friends call me the 'Postum Preacher,'" writes a Minn. school teacher, "because I preach the gospel of Postum everywhere I go, and have been the means of liberating many 'coffee-pot slaves.'"
"I don't care what they call me so long as I can help others to see what they lose by sticking to coffee, and can show them the way to steady nerves, clear brain and general good health by using Postum.
"While a school girl I drank coffee and had fits of trembling and went through a siege of nervous prostration which took me three years to rally from.
"Mother coaxed me to use Postum, but I thought coffee would give me strength. So things went, and when I married my husband and I were both coffee topers, and I can sympathize with a drankard who tries to leave off his cups.
At last in sheer desperation I bought a package of Postum, followed directions about boiling it, served it with good cream, and asked my husband how he liked the coffee.
"We each drank three cups apiece, and what a satisfied feeling it left. Our conversion has lasted several years and will continue as long as we live, for it has made us new—nerves are steady, appetites good, sleep and refreshing."

IOWA STATE NEWS
Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth.
LAUNCH GOES OVER DAM.
Boat Containing Pleasure Party is Hurled into Swirling Waters. Das Moines.—Before the eyes of a half hundred horror stricken people who were powerless to render assistance a launch containing Earl and William Jennings and Edwin, and William Ehersole, all prominent young men, were swept over the Des Moines river dam at Center street Saturday afternoon, at 3:15 o'clock.
WORKMEN ELECT OFFICERS.
Iowa Again Honored—Degree or Honor Adjourns.
Des Moines.—The supreme lodge Ancient Order United Workmen, a Saturday's session elected officers for the next two years. W. M. Navri of Muscatine was re-elected supreme master workman of the organization this making his third consecutive term as head of the workmen.
The other officers elected are:
Edwin Ebersole and William Jennings were drowned and their bodies have not been recovered. Earl Jennings was carried into the eddy at the foot of the Edison Light Company's substation and swam to the shore. Almost exhausted, he was lifted from the water by bystanders. William Ebersole was carried down the river to a point about twenty-five yards from the dam the water yielded from the lake. He struggled gamely in the waters for several minutes and had all but given up. With a burst of herofem that made the spectators gasp, and without removing any of his clothing, Grand Ferguson, a big negro, dived from the abutment of the sewer which empties into the river at that place and made for the drowning man. After a heroic struggle Ferguson succeeded in getting the almost unconscious Ebersole to the shore. A failure of the gunship to prepare for populations of one of the party was directly responsible for the accident. At the start the launch engine worked perfectly. The boat puffed its way to the middle of the stream, and had just been started north, when of a sudden the engine stopped. The party was then within a few rods of the dam. Earl Jennings took an car from the bottom of the Boat and paddled furiously. But instead of paddling an stream he was assisting the current in sweeping the craft into the water of waters that just before the boat the brink of the dam all four men arose to their feet and with arms waving wildly disappeared.
An unfortunate phase of the accident is the fact that within a day or two the life line which the city council recently authorized to be placed across the river at the dam, was to have been placed in position. Only Saturday the workmen were engaged in digging holes on each side of the river for posts from the dam. This line been in place at the time of the accident it is likely that none of the four men would have been drowned.

SAVED LIFE AT RISK OF OWN.
Throws Himself Against Fly Wheel
Belt to Save Companion
Independence—While at work in the Independence the Factory, Fred McGowan saved a young man named Coons from certain death in the "mixer." Coons became horribly entangled in the machinery of the mixer while at work near it and the coons were fastening themselves into his arms and side and drawing him ever nearer. His shifles started the men near, and they were all transfixed with horror save McGowan. He saw the coons trying to thrust the belt, from the great pulley; he failed again and again. Then in desperation he seized the belt with his hands and pulled at it, all the time being drawn to the enormous pulley where he might be crushed to death. But he hung on, even when he was going up over the wheel. Though his body was being awfully twisted and his bones threatened to snap, he still clung to the belt and just as he came to the floor, he gave a last tug and succeeded in get him to stop. The mediated taken from the coons. His arm was broken in three places and big holes were literally punched into his gills. McGowan was bruised and sore, but otherwise he is unhurt.

sions Place.

Vice President James Harlan was unanimously chosen to succeed Dr. King.
The board of trustees of Cornell college in accepting at last the resignation of the beloved president of the college, which has previously or more than one occasion been offered to the board, and upon its earnest request to withdraw, placed his recordists sheere regret that the tinue comes when after forty-five years of continuous service at the head of this institution it seems right and reasonable that he should be re- leaved.

Sloux City—The wave of crime and casually certainly struck Sloux City on the 15th. Early in the morning the body of Fred Geinke, a veteran cobbler, was found suspended by a rope in his shoe shop; Mrs. L. S. Critchell, a prominent society woman, was burned at 11:30 o'clock A.

"Internal Revenue" Collections.
The term "internal revenue" has been restricted in its meaning to such revenues only as are collected under the internal revenue bureau connected with the treasury department, and does not include all revenues that are, properly speaking, from internal sources, that is, from sources other than duties levied at the frontiers upon foreign commodities. Thus, money arising from the sale of public lands, from patent fees, or the revenues of the postal service, are not generally known as "internal revenues."
The Missing Link
What was said to be the "missing link between man and ape" was found by Dr. Dubois in 1895 on the banks of the Bengawan river, in central Java. These fossil remains consisted of a skull, a thigh bone and two motor teeth, from which the scientists "conducted a study of the nearer to man than the ape. The "link" was named "Pithecanthopus erectus."—New York American.

HOT ONIONS FOR PNEUMONIA.
Dread Disease Robbed of Its Terrors by Simple Remedy.
Owing to the prevalence of pneumonia and the great mortality which attends its ravages during the winter and spring, several boards of health in northern New Jersey have been taking measures to protect the citizens of Washington and the health board of Washington. N. J. has published a remedy which is said to be a sure cure for pneumonia, and other health boards are looking into the matter with a view of having the same thing published for the good of general public. This is the publication of several appear in the papers of Washington:
"Take six or ten onions, according to size, and chop fine, put in a large spider over a hot fire, then add the same quantity of rye meal and vinegar enough to form a thick paste. In the meanwhile sit it thoroughly, letting it simmer five or ten minutes. Then put in a cotton bag large enough to cover the lungs and apply to chest and abdomen. It takes ten minutes apply another, and thus continue by reheating the poultices, and in a few hours the patient will be out of danger. This simple remedy has never failed to cure this too-often fatal malady. Usually three or four applications will be sufficient, but continue always until the perspiration starts freely from the chest. This remedy was formulated many years ago by the English surgeon John England has ever known, who never lost a patient by the disease, and won his renown by simple remedies."
New Chart Corrects Errors.
The great practical utility of the magnetic survey made in the Pacific ocean by the yacht Gallilee since 1905 is shown by a new magnetic chart, from which it appears that the charts previously used by navigators in the pacific ocean were erroneous along some much-traversed routes to the extent of from three to five degrees, and the errors at times were systematic. Errors of this magnitude are of importance in practical navigation where the indications of the compass should be as accurate as possible.
Nothing to Speak Of
"You are to take these capsules," said Dr. Fussy, "before meals, not after remembrance. Oh! I remember the patient. "I guess it doesn't matter much."
"But it does matter, sir!"

WORK OF MAHOGANY HUNTER.
Practiced Eye Needed to Locate the
Valuable Timber.
Mahogany trees do not grow in
clusters, but are scattered throughout
the forest and hidden in a dense
growth of underbrush, vines and
creepers and require @ skiliful and
experienced woodsman to find them
He seeks tho highest ground 1n a for
est, climbs to the top of the tallest
tree and surveys the surrounding
country, Tho mahogany has a pe
cullar follage and his practiced eye
soon detects the trees within stzht.
‘The axmen follow tho hunter and
then come the sawyers and hewers, a
Jarge mahogany taking two men a full
day to fell It The tree has large
spurs, which project from the trunk
at its base, and scaffolds must bs
erected so that the tree can be cut
off above the spurs, This leaves a
atump ten to fifteen feet higb, which
4s sheer waste, as the stump really
contains the beet lumber, The hunter
has nothing to do with the work of
eutting or removing the tree, his duty
heing simply to lonate it If he fs
elover and energetic his remuneration
may amount to $500 or $1,000 a
month, but he may travel weeks at a
time without detecting a tree, and aF
he is generally paid by results his
earnings are.rather precay’

“What's all the row about?” the
hungry man queried as the manager
of the city restaurant was seen to
rush excitedly to the cashier's desk
nd detain a departing individual.
‘The waiter explained. For a month
past some of the numbered checks
had been missing, and {t had been dis-
covered that certain patrons were
economizing at the expense of the
management. A man would order 15
cents’ worth and receive @ check for
the amount. Then he would secrete
the check when the waiter wasn't
looking and order a quarter's worth
more of eatables, The waiter would
then give a check for 40 cents, but
when it came time to pay the cus+
tomer would use the 15-cént ticket to
get by the door. “H'm,” muttered the
hungry man; “fine scheme,” and in
the excitement he passed a Canadian
dime on the cashier.
