The curfew law if passed will hurt the cheap show business. The committee will formally notify Mr. Taft of his nomination on the 28th, and the people will notify him of his election on November third. We wonder if the Colored gentlemen are still waiting for the democratic convention to adopt something in their platform that will convince the Negro that they are his friends. Some of the Negroes that want to see the democratic party in power should ask Mr. Tillman if he is willing to take back some of the things he said about their mothers and sisters. Do you think it is necessary to have a committee to notify Mr. Bryan, and get his acceptance, after he has run all of the best democrats out of the party so he could get it. BRYAN'S NOMINATION. Last week the expected happened at the National Convention at Denver, the selecting of William J. Bryan as was really expected and even predicted by the Bystander several months ago, while some of the old line regular democrats fought to a finish to prevent Byan's nomination but all in vain. We do not consider that William J. Bryan is the strongest democrat before the American people, for we think that the democratic party has men in its party that would have united the party, and would have been a stronger man for us to beat, for instance if Gov. Joseph Folk, of Missouri, or Gov. Johnstone, of Minnesota, or Judge Gray of any such men as those would have held all the democrats together and would have polled a larger vote from the Republican party. It may be true that Mr. Bryan will draw a large vote from the Republicans but on the other hand he will loose a large democratic vote from the states he will need. In short the Republicans have defeated him twice and we hope will do it again for our country deos not want Bryanism, we want progressiveism. ANTI TAET MEETING. Representatives of thirty-seven st a meeting of the National Anti-Taft League, at 1922 Lawrence street, Wednesday drafted a memorial which was presented to the committee on resolutions, begging that the platform of the democratic party be broad in its treatment of the race question to satisfy every race represented in the citizenship of the United States. The National Negro Anti-Taft League is a consolidation of the National Negro Democratic, League, the Liberty party, Niagara Movement Negro National Council and National American Political League. The appeal is signed by George E. Taylor, Iowa; J. H. P. Westbrook, Colorado; W. T. Scott, Illinois. The work will heart and soul for the defeat of Taft for the presidency. Following are the officers of the league: president, J. H. Hartless, Pueblo; vice president, W. T. Scott, Chicago; vice president, A. E. Manning, Indiana; secretary, George Jamison, Idaho; chairman national committee, Dr. H. C. Cress, Chicago; secretary, John J. Smith, Denver, treasurer, S. M. Clure, Pueblo; national or ganizer, H. Baker' Denver.—The News. This class of so-called Negro leaders are a dismissed, disgruntled, discharged, defeated office seekers from the Republican party, unfit to keep themselves out of the ditch and mire, and claim to represent the Colored race, they represent nothing. If all of them are like those we know, we would be ashamed to see their name associated with the Republican party. Opening Oysters by X-Ray.

His address was well received THE CRY OF THE LONELY WOMAN To the woman who is a wife but has not known motherhood, to her who tread the path of life alone, and to the mother whose arms are bereft by the grim reaper of that which she has deemed most precious, thare is a message in the experiences of four foster-mothers as told in the August Delineator. There are millions of these women, millions of homes to which no child has ever come, millions who have remained unwed, who have alive within in them the maternal love that yearns for its fulfillment. There are thousands of homes that death has left lonely, where the mother whose arms are empty mourns her loss. Yet within their reach is happiness, happiness in the breadth and depth of life told in every line of these four stories "There is no life for woman with out children says one foster-mother. And contrasting the life of the woman whose days are empty and whose life is purposeless, who grows old fretful and weary for the lack of something to fill out her existence, with the depth and sincerety and joy of these women who have adopted motherhood as a profession, it would seem that she right.

Expensive Funerals. Expensive funerals are very profitable to the undertakers, who adroitly encourage this form of extravagance as they are aware that some persons think the respect shown a deceased relative is gauged by the cost of the display. To those who desire and can afford costly funerals, there can be no reasonable objection to the gratification of their wishes; but there is very little wisdom manifested by the poor people who for months after the burial of a relative have to stint themselves to pay for their extravagance. It is not uncommon to see from 20 to 10 carriages following a hearse to the cemetery, at a cost of at least five dollars each. The bereaved family thus respected by the attendance of their friends in such melancholy occasions, often return to a home in which poverty has long been known, and perhaps aggravated by the protracted illness of the person just laid in the grave. It may be that the chief bread-winner of the flock has been removed. If this is the case, a costly funeral is very likely to make them more keenly feel the loss of their relative. How much better it would be, exclaims the New York Weekly, to save the money that is usually squandered for unnecessary carriages, and devote the sum to the relief of the needy family. Some poor but proud persons might object to such assistance, but there are others who would gladly accept it. Negro Abilities. Fresh proof that the ancient Ethiopians were a people of high culture and marked intellectual advancement is furnished by Prof. David Randall Macliver of the University of Pennsylvania, who has returned from Nubia with a collection of antiquities of artistic worth and much variety and aggregating five tons in weight. The articles he has gathered, Prof. Macliver says, represent early negro civilization that lasted for at least seven centuries. Included among the antiquities are various works of art and also some Ethiopic inscriptions. Prof. Macliver adds: "Our excavations have shown that" the source of civilization of the period which our work in lower Nubia covered was Ethiopian. All the negro works of art were discovered in an extensive cemetery lying about ten feet under ground between Wady Hala and Assouan in lower Nubia." That was the seat of an important empire back in the dim and distant years, and the race in control was black. This should tend to confirm belief that the negro is capable of better things than some of his opponents are ready to concede. A hint of what may be expected when the success of aerial navigation is completely demonstrated is furnished by the steps already taken by the weather bureau at Washington, remarks the Troy (N. Y). Times. That part of the government is on the lookout for all the help that can be 'procured in foretelling what the elements have in store, and is enlisting the flying machines as fast as possible. The bureau has prepared printed forms for the use of persons experimenting in aeronautics, and these forms are distributed with a view to getting data otherwise unobtainable. The co-operation of aero clubs throughout the country is earnestly desired. The bureau suggests the sort of observations taken in the upper air which, in connection with those made on the ground, may aid materially in furthering meteorological knowledge. Thus it would appear that navigation of the air may add largely to scientific lore and may have important results aside from the matter of the new method of transportation. It may be plain to the receiver of the Third avenue street car line in New York that every passenger who does not pay his fare steals, but some patrons of the line, while admitting the appearance of evil, will insist on calling by another name their failure to come forward with their nickels. Very little conscience money is turned into the treasuries of the street car companies, while the schemes to get rides for nothing are numerous and ingenious and work about one time out of 100. It is a sin to steal a pin and also a street car ride, but now and then a man has a special arrangement with his conscience by which he can sleep nights just as soundly, or even more so, if he has put one over on the company during the day. When the orchestra struck during the performance of an opera in Berlin the audience said it would be all right to continue with a piano. Perhaps the people were afraid the management would start up a phonograph if the piano did not satisfy them. It is planned to give a church in Chicago over to the young people who lack the right kind of environment at home for courting. So long as the facilities don't include a lighting system it ought to be a success. The proud parents of triplets born in Delphi, Ind, named them _respectively James, Whitcomb and Riley. It is up to Mr. Riley to signalize the event by writing a suitable trioet. An Indianapolis paper says: "The woods are full of men who wish to marry." That being the case, why have they taken to the woods? Some Frenchmen are urging the nation to "turn to its king." That is one way to make a living, in France.

The convention was not, however, given to Mr. Chaffin until after three ballots had been taken. On the first two ballots, Mr. Chaffin did not show a great amount of strength, receiving but 195 out of 1,083 votes on the first, 376 out of 1,087 on the second ballot. His nomination was practically assured, however, when the roll call began for the third ballot. His own state, which had voted largely for Daniel R. Sheen of Peoria, and the few other candidates of Indiana and Wisconsin, came over to Mr. Chaffin and on the third ballot he received a total of 636 votes. The strongest competitor of Mr. Chafin was Rev. William B. Palmore of St. Louis, who received 274 votes on the first and 418 on the second ballot, and a comparatively small vote in the third. The most notable motion of Mr. Chafin could not be prevented. The convention up to this time had run somewhat smoothly and without the slightest friction. It was decided to make Mr. Palmore the vice presidential nominee and he was named by acclamation. He declined to accept the office, however, and persevered with his efforts to make the strong uplifts of his friends. The convention finding itself confronted with the necessity of naming another vice presidential candidate and many of the delegates being anxious to catch the early night trains for their homes, became involved in a deep parliamentary tangle. The rules were several times suspended and the suspensions immediately revoked. Finally it was decided that Prof. Aaron S. Watkins, of Ada, O. A., named by acclamation. There was no opposition to him at the moment, and Chairman Charles Scanlon was on the verge of declaring Professor Watkins the nominee when delegates in various parts of the hall broke in with a flood of motions, counter motions, amendments and suspensions of the rules. An extended debate followed, which finally resulted in the restoration of the rules, and a ballot for the vice presidency. Three men were named, Professor Watkins, T. B. Demaree of Kentucky and Charles S. Holler. The ballot resulted in the nomination of an overwhelming majority, and he was thereafter, upon motion of the Kentucky delegates, made the unanimous choice. Both the presidential and vice presidential nonnees are candidates for governor in their respective states on the prohibition tickets. Eugene W. Chafn, who leads the prohibition party this year, is an attorney residing in Chicago. He is a native of Waukesha county, Wisconsin, and for some years practiced law there. He was at one time candidate for governor of Wisconsin on the prohibition ticket and was this year placed in Illinois by the prohibitionists of that area. The foreonon session of the convention was devoted to the discussion and adoption of a brief platform, which is probably the shortest on record, containing not more than 350 words. AMERICANS ARE WINNING At Yesterday's Conclusion the United States Had 31 Points, England 12. London, July 17.—America and the united are running neck and neck for supremacy at the Olympic contests. The united kingdom started the day with four first places to America's two, but America picked up in the later events and won all three prizes in a discus throwing and first and third places in the Australian crack. England got another slight lead when Taylor made his sensational win in the 400 meter swimming content, beating the Australian crack. The only man in the American weight winners was W. G. Arvine of Norway. Nevertheless the Americans welcomed this man, as it was the only man to aggregate, and if second and third places were counted it alone would bring the two countries to about equal terms. A great cheer, there, up when the result was announced. Counting only the field events for which the Americans are making the more bids, the Americans at conclusion conclude that they lead over the united kingdom of 19 points, the figures being 31 and 12 respectively. They are made up as follows: America—Throwing the hamer; 1. team race; 2. disc throwing; 3. putting the shot; 6, and 1,500 meter race; 4. united kingdom—team race; 5. putting the shot; 3, and 1,500 meter race; 4. a total of 12.

Ten Men Are Badly Injured—Victims Are Shockingly Battered and Burned by Blaat. Pottville, Pa.—Seven mine workers were killed and ten others injured Wednesday by a terrific explosion of gas in the Williamstown colliery of the Summit Branch Mining company in the lower part of the anthracite coal fields. The mine was wrecked and set on fire. The explosion occurred in No. 1 shaft of the colliery and is believed to have been caused by one of the men lifting the gauze of his safety lamp just after an explosion of a shot which brought down a large body of coal. The explosion shook the entire colliery. The work of rescue was immediately begun and when volunteers were called for almost every man at the mine offered a hazardous trip into the burning mine. Near the foot of the shaft the injured were found, they having rushed toward the entrance only to fall over unconscious. All of the dead were found a short distance from the shaft, and were placed into an almost unrecognizable mass. Physicians from Williamstown and near-by villages treated the injured, while a number of women volunteered their services as nurses. Several of the injured were removed to their homes after receiving temporary treatment. The women were moved to a condition to be moved until night and cots were provided for them.

Indicted Ex-Comproller of the Equita ble Expires Suddenly. New York—Thomas D. Jordan, formerly comptroller of the Equitable Life Assurance company, dropped dead of heart disease late Tuesday afternoon in the Wall street station of the subway. Mr. Jordan had parted from his son, Frank B. Jordan, only a moment before, and a messenger overtook the young man on the street and informed him of his father's death. It was in the course of the Armstrong investigation that Mr. Jordan's name came prominently before the public. It was brought out then that Comptroller Jordan had secured loans aggregating $85,000 for himself and James W. Alexander former president of the Equitable, from the Mercantile Trust company, and that these loans had been covered up on the books of the company. This $85,000 came to be known as the "yellow dog" fund. As a result of the disclosures the grand jury ordered for the jury against for one or for puerjay against Jordan.

YANKEES WIN TWO CONTESTS JOHN J. FLANAGAN FIRST IN OLYMPIAN HAMMER THROW. Great Race by Melvin Sheppard—Sur- prises Englishmen by Capturing 1,500-Meter Run. London — America and Great Britain captured most of the laurels Tuesday in the first real business day of the Olympic sports. Twice the Stars and Stripes fluttered to the top of the staff in the center of the arena, and the American enthusiasts, who monopolized a section of the stadium, waved their flags and broke out in cheers which, in a smaller field, would have been deafening. The honors were nearly even, for of the four events finished the United States and the finished Kingdom each won two gold medals. Great Britain, however, took three silver medals. Great Britain got only one. Canada, Australia, Great Britain and Belgium each obtained a bronze medal. The Yankees had the hammer-throw to themselves, as had been expected, and the performance of John F. Flanagan of the Irish-American Athletic club, in breaking the Olympic record with the hammer, and the almost equally good record made by M. J. McGrath of the New York Club, were eye-openers of Britishers. He Shepard of the Irish-American A.C. however, did more spectacular work, and aroused a greater degree of enthusiasm by crossing the tape ahead of his English rivals in a dashing finish to the 1,500-meter run. This the Englishmen had counted on for Wilson or Hallows, no prophets conceding America better than third place. To add to this faction of the team, the judges amused George W. Galdzik of Chicago Athletic association had done the best work in the fancy diving. London. — The gold medals went to Great Britain, France and Sweden, as the winners of the finals of Wednesday's events at the Olympic games.

France captured her gold medal for a victory in the 2,000-meter tandem cycle race, and Sweden for Lemmings' record-breaking javelin throw of 178 feet 7½ inches, which topped the best previous throw by more than three feet. Greece, France and Great Britain each took a silver medal for seconds in the javelin throwing, 660-meter race, and 2,000-meter race, respectively, while Norway, Germany and Sweden took the bronze medals in the same events.

Childish Realism Installed Into Story of Garden of Eden. Realism rules the nursery. A certain Philadelphia matron, who had taken pains to inculcate Biblical stories as well as ethical truths in her three children, heard, the other day, long drawn bowls of rage and grief filtering down from the playroom. Up two flights she hurried, to find on the floor Jack and Ehel, voices uplifted. Thomas, aged nine, sat perched on the table, his mouth full and his eyes guilty. "Whatever is the matter?" asked mamma. "Bo-o-o!" came from Ethel; "we were playing Garden of Eden. Bo-o-o!

"In 1884 my grandson, a babe, had an attack of eczema, and after tying the doctors to the extent of heavy wounds, I received the cuticura sufferer. I recommended Cuticura and in a few weeks the child was well. He is to-day a strong man and absolutely free from the disease. A few years ago I contracted eczema, and became an insease sufferer. A whole winter passed without once having on shoes, nearly from the knees to the toes being with him, with tried many doctors to no purpose.

It was one of the dearest desires of the scriptural writer that "mine adversary had written a book." It was one of the comforts and safeguards of the Boers in the Transvaal war that their early adversary had actually written and published a book, officially indicted with a demolition. The volume in question was the standard of tactics of the British army, and the author of it was one of the notable incidents of the Boer war. Capt. Fritz Duquesne, of the Boer army, who was captured and sent to Bermuda as a prisoner and afterward escaped to New York, told the other day, in speaking of the death of Buller, how the Boer army managed to beat him so badly when he was sent to South Africa. He gave Buller credit for the very highest order of courage and the most indomitable will to do his best for his flag, but asserted that Buller was so handicapped by his own writings on military affairs that all the enemy had to do to beat him was to study his own text-book. Buller was the author of the book by which the British army fought, and he followed it religiously. The Boers had been were to follow them up. By consulting the book the Boers could tell precisely what Buller would do next after he had done a certain thing. If he shelied a position with lyddite, the book would tell what would follow, and the Boers had only to look at the text to inform themselves as to the nature of defense or attack that it was necessary to make. Ambrose Blierce, the author of "In the Midst of Life," has a right to discuss short stories, for his grim book sets him, in the opinion of the leading foreign critics, beside Edgar Allan Poe. Mr. Mr. Blierce discussed the magazine short story at a recent luncheon. "There are exceptions to everything," said he, "but the reason for the conventionality and worthlessness of the typical magazine short story is not hard to find. "Let me repeat a dialogue to you. "A writer of magazine short stories took a young lady in to dinner. "I know you are awfully famous, Mr. Biggin." said the young lady, "but though I have read a great many of your sales, Don't you have a bit" smiled. "Of course you don't like them," said he. "Why should you? They aren't written to please the public." "Not written to please the public? said the girl. "No, indeed,' said Biggin, laughing heartily at her ignorance. They were written, of course, to please the magazine editors." Dispute Over Famous Picture. Dispute Over Armchair discussion in arriving circles in London the last week or so, regarding the great price paid for the beautiful Gainsborough, which is said to recall the much greater price given for the same master's "Duchess of Devonshire," 30 years ago. A London writer says the curious thing about famous sale was a difference of opinion between the greatest painter of the world and to the artistic value of the picture. Millars did not think it was a Gainsborough at all—not because of any technical detail of execution, but simply the view of a woman was not Gainsborough's view. Millars exclaimed, "Look at Gainsborough's women—why, you want to die for them!" But no one ever wanted to have a ninety-four for that duchess of Millars' opinion. "The Duchess of Devonshire" is a mighty attractive young woman to behold, if not to die for. DES MOINES DIRECTORY. FREE MEDICINES FOR EVERYBODY you ask. We treat your sick sight.

A Sure Remedy A young man who experienced much trouble in managing a head of hair which manifested an unpleasant mollination to stand on end, wrote to a weekly paper for a plan by which its troubles would be at least lessened.

DIFFERENT NOW Athlete Finds Better Training Food, It was formerly the belief that to become strong, athletes must eat plenty of meat. This is all out of date now, and many trainers feed athletes on the well-known food, Grape-Nuts, made of wheat and barley, and cut the meat down to a small portion once a day. "Three years ago," writes a Michan man, "having become interested in athletics, I found I would have to stop eating and sashome other kinds of food. "I got some Grape-Nuts, and was soon eating the food at every meal, for I found that when I went on the track, I felt more lively and active. "Later, I began also to drink Postum in place of coffee, and the way I gained muscle and strength on this diet was certainly great. On the day of a field meet in June I weighed 124 lbs. On the opening of the football season in Sept., I weighed 140. I attribute my fine condition and good work to the discussion of coffee, and the use of Grape-Nuts and Postum, my principal diet during training season being Grape-Nuts. "Before I used Grape-Nuts I never felt right in the morning—always kind of 'out of sorts' with my stomach. But now when I rise I feel good, and after a breakfast largely of Grape-Nuts with cream, and a cup of Postum, I feel like a new man." "There's a Reason." Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich.

IOWA STATE NEWS Events of Recent Occurrence Through- out the Commonwealth. MOB BEATS WITNESS. Brutal Assault Perpetrated on Saloon Prosecutor. Davenport·Davenport was the scene on the 14th of another mob assault upon those engaged in the prosecution of the saloons which are doing business in violation of the mullet law regulations. A crowd of men attended William Schoenig of Museaute, one of the witnesses against the eight saloon keepers who were arrested yesterday on bench warrants for violating the terms of the injunctions against them. He had just come from the court room where the cases were called when he was beset by three ruffians and thrown into the street. Immediately a mob of thirty or more saloons, keepers and saloon frequenters, surrounded Schoenig and kicked and heat him. H. V. Betts, the attorney in charge of the prosecution, rushed into the county attorney's office in the court house and called the police. In ten minutes the police responded, but the mob had scattered and the police found only the victim, bruised and bleeding, on the pavement. Schoeing was taken to the hospital, where he now is. His injuries are painful, but no one was injured. The assault was similar to that upon Captain Neal some months ago. It was prompted by the action of the Civic federation in causing the arrest of eight saloon men who were alleged to be violating the terms of the injunction against them. There had been much rabid talk since these arrests and an angry crowd was in the vicinity of the court room when the cases were called shortly before noon. Animosity against Schoeing, who came here as a paid witness to secure evidence, No arrests have been made for the assault because the assailants were not identified. The Civic federation declares that at least three men, strangers, were imported to do the business and they are not known. WEAVER GOLDEN WEDDING Colafx.—The celebration of the golden wedding anniversary of Gen. James B. Weaver and Mrs. Weaver, which occurred at their home at Colafx on the afternoon and evening of the 13th, proved a beautiful triumph of esteem and affection from relatives and friends throughout the country. Probably no man in public life in the last quarter of a century has been more often seen or listened to as a public speaker or is better known than General Weaver, and his friends and admirers are to be found in every state. It was therefore natural that though no formal invitations were issued to him, he press a few days since, many friends of the general and his wife who knew of the event should give enthusiastic expression of their regard. The guests were received upon the lawn, where seats were provided, the trees decorated with Chinese latters and every arrangement made for the comfort of the visitors.

WATERS CLAIM TWO MORE. St. Ansgar Lads Drown and Increase Iowa's List. St. Ansgar.-Two ten-year-old lads, Harley Mather, son of G. C. M.ather, buyer for the St. Ansgar Grain company, and Jordon Long, son of J. B. Lang, stock buyer, were drowned while swimming in the Cedar river, a mile deep of here. The two little fellows, with two other lads, Rush Culver, aged 13, and Merrill Moe, aged 10, drove out to the river together for a swim, and while they were disporting themselves in the water they all stepped into the same treacherous hole. Young Culver and Moe could swim a little, and paddled out of the dangerous place with much difficult water, able to give old to the other lads who were struggling to save themselves. The two lads who saved themselves jumped into the buggy with which they had driven out and hurried to town for aid. Rescuers were soon on the scene, and the bodies were quickly recovered, as the water in the hole was only six feet deep. Dr. Kerstenberger worked for several hours trying to resuscitate the victims, but without avail. Smallinox Claims Victim Courcil Bluffs—Frank Boyd, aged thirty-one, died of smallpox at his home in the western part of the city, making the second death from this disease within a week. Mrs. J. F. Bryder, who succumbed to a form of the disease was a sister of Snyder, though living in a different section of the city Boyd was the man who became delirious from the disease, and created a reign of terror in the neighborhood by running about wildly. Church leaders sent the extermination of the city have been ordered discontinued for a time. Automobile Causes Bad Accident. Nashua—Mrs. Mike Keashung was severely injured in a runaway caused by an automobile. In company with her husband and two children, she was out for a pleasure ride when the team became frightened and a bug, the automobiles were overturned the buggy, all escaped to the ground, all escaped with slight injuries except Mrs. Keashung, who suffered a broken leg and other severe bruises. FOREMAN SHOOTS STRIKER. W. D. Toler of Marshaltown Kills G. W. Davis. Marshaltown.—During an altercation on the street here between W. D. Toler, an Iowa Central machinist, employed as roundhouse foreman, and a party of strikers, Toler shot dead George W. Davis, a striking roundhouse employee. Toler is under arrest, and was rushed out of town by officers in an automobile to prevent mob violence. Four men were in a party of strikers who met Toler on South Third avenue and corner of Market street, Words ensued over the strike, and Toler was taken to task because he had just taken charge of the roundhouse as day foreman. When the men attacked Toler he had his hand in his right coat pocket, and from there he had taken the fifth cartridge to explode. Davis fell with two halls through the left breast, one of which evidently pierced the heart. He gasped a few times and was dead. Officer Frank Haas, who was at the Union station half a block away, heard shots and reached the slayer while the gun was still smoking. Toler had little to say before officers spirited him away excepting that he acted in self-defense. Excitement ran high among the strikers and sympathizers and officers acted wisely in getting the prisoner out of town. Strikers' pickets have been very active against strike breakers and several clashes already have occurred. older, however, can hardly be employed as night foreman now for two years. Davis, the dead man, was 42 years old, married and leaves an adopted daughter. He is a machinist's helper and belonged to local Union No. 708. He was a Red man and an Eagle. WOODMEN SUE FAILED BANK. Chariton Institution Made Defendant in Big Suit. Des Moines.—For the purpose of recovering the funds lost through the failure of the First National bank of Chariton the Modern Woodmen of America has started suit in federal court here for $420,755.49 against James H. Jamison, receiver of the bank, and L. O. Murray, controller of currency. In its bill of complaint the fraternal-order demands the return of $50,000 cash which was deposited in the bank with an interest from Dec. 7, 1907, and a lien of $70,755.49 bringing the total up to $420,755.49. The defaulations and suicide of Cashier Frank H. Crocker, which wrecked the bank, James H. Jamison, who was appointed receiver, secured the consent of the government officials to allow the Modern Woodmen order the $30,000 it had on deposit. But this order was rescinded July 1 and it was decided to bring suit. At a recent meeting of the bank directors they agreed to pay the expenses of fighting the action, thus relieving Receiver Jamison. The First National bank of Chicago, the National Park Bank of New York City, the National Bank of the Republic, Chicago, and the National Bank of Com- munity of Kansas City are also indirectly involved in the action. According to the complaint filed yesterday the Chariton bank has been a depository for the Modern Wooden men since 1899. Up to Sept. 27, 1905, the order had $400,000 on deposit there. At that time the head banker withdrew $50,000, leaving $250,000 on deposit. The suit is brought to establish a challenge against the received of the bank and the controller of the currency so as to get an order of the court to participate in the distribution of the assets. KILLS THE TOWN MARSHAL. Gowrie Youth Revenues Self Upon the Officer, Gowrie—Town Marshal Tom Nichols, aged 34 years, was shot to death by William Carr, aged 22. The officer had arrested the youth when the latter had gotten into an altercation with a stranger who stepped from a Rock Island train. After the fight the stranger disappeared and Marshal Nichols took Carr off to jail. The youth, however, broke away and went to his home and got a Winchester rifle. Meeting the marshal later he fired and killed the officer. He was interrupted and hurried to Fort Dodge for safe keeping. Coroner Lowrie of Fort Dodge held an inquest, the verdict being that Nichols came to his death at the hands of William Carr. Carr's father is in jail serving a thirty's sentence for intoxication. Fire at Griswold. Grisswold.—The large clothing store of W. J. Woodward & Son and the meat market of E. S. Jenkins were destroyed by fire, entailing a loss of over $7,004. The Woodward store and building are a total loss but a part of the goods were saved from the Jenkins store. There was $4,000 insurance on the burned property. The cause of the fire is not known. Tries to Kill Himself. Council Bluffs—George Lyon, a young man living in the country south of Macedonia made two attempts to commit suicide. He first tried to drown himself in a tank, and then slashed his throat with a razor. Twenty-five stitches were taken, and he may recover. No motive is known for him. Thieves Make Haul Mason City City—Fifty dollars in money from the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles drug store from the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles drug store She had come to town to call on a woman whom she had met in the country the previous summer and who lived in a flat in Harlem. She was dressed in her best—a choice black dress gown and a bran new pair of gloves, pearl gray, and the tight fit she had ever got into. The certainly after riding for what seemed to her to be hours she finally came to the house she was looking for. She never had been in a flat, and when she found herself in a vestibule where there were a lot of letter boxes with names over them and little buttons above the names she was rather at a loss how to proceed in order to get the door open. But there was the name of her house on the top floor, so she touched a button by way of experiment. Suddenly, with a great rattling, the door flew open all by itself with nobody anywhere in sight, and stepping over the threshold she looked cautiously around and couldn't for the moment think of anything but spooks as a solution of the mystery. Nor did the back part of a long dress need to lead up to still darker places, serve to dispel the uncanny impression. But she knew she had to do it, so gathering up her courage and her black lace skirt she began the ascent—up, five steps to a flight, then a landing and an abrupt corner to go around. She was quite sure she had never in all her experience come across a staircase with her head to have tumultuous all the time and still more certain was she that she'd never before gone upstairs in the dark in the daytime. But that was what she found herself doing then, for after the third cluster of steps there wasn't light enough to see where the next was and all she could do was to feel until she had to sit down in the feel until she got her breath. And how painfully she had to walk home instead of all alone in a strange city house on those stairs in all that pitchy darkness! Every blood-curdling story she ever had heard flashed into her mind about innocent country people being invigilated to their doom on some plausible pretence or other; and she fairly shivered with apprehension as she thought how easy 'twould be to have a trap door on those stairs for unsuspecting country callers to fall into. Then suddenly she jumped to her feet, for somewhere up above a door had slammed and she wanted to let somebody know she was coming; but some way, in her hurry, she took a wrong step and before she knew it had gone headlong all over a landing-place, bursting both gloves and tearing the choice lace—she could hear it ripping. 'Twas awful, and as she arose she was half tempted to go back again; but she felt she must be allowed to stand upright, just creeping along, till finally a skylight shed some light on the scene, and the weier clumber, literally gasping for breath, reached the top floor, where, gazing sadly at the ruptured gloves and torn gown and feeling her hating defectedly to the side of her head, she told herself she could have fought over a bargain counter all day and looked five times as respectable. But she was at the friend's very door. Not wishing, however, to go in breathing like a porpoise, she decided to lean against the side of the hallway to rest a moment before ringing the bell and to put a pin in the gown and pull the gloves together. Then, touching a button that was chained to she floor suddenly opened and she fell in backward on the girl, who shrieked for help and jumped aside, letting the invader fall over on top of two or three umbrellas in the hat rack. There's no kind of use in trying to describe the variety of feelings, physical and mental, that assailed the caller as she laboriously extricated herself. The maid, at a safe distance, was gazing at her with an open suspicion mixed large with small, who she was and what she was doing. The country caller, realizing vaguely that only a well-chosen speech would in any measure retrieve such a critical situation, hastened to collect the remains of a badly scattered dignity and remarked: "For am not at all certain what—that is, who I am just at present. I am—at least I was calling, but please tell Mrs. — that I'm in quite a hurry, as I must be er—somewhere else very soon. Besides I don't feel very well." Then detach herself from an especially aggressive umbrella she hurried into the hall and down the stairs, saying to her toes that recklessly round and round curves and corners, the quarter of a lace ruffle trailing on the floor, and the gloves, pearl-gray no longer, hanging in shreds to her fingers: "No human being ever called after going in a door like that. No more flat calls me—without I have something that won't tear. And next I'll carry a lantern," she added as she stepped into the street and made believe she wasn't mortally afraid the policeman on the corner would command her to halt and explain her appearance.

Was the citron tree the tree of knowledge of Eden and evil and well authorized of Eden? Some persons think it was. In any event, it appears that "citron" would often be the right rendering in passages where the authorized version of the Bible gives "apple." For instance, in the Proverbs. "A word flly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." And in the Song of Solomon, "As the apple tree among the trees of the wood is my beloved among the sons." And again, "Stay with me and sagons, comfort me with apples, for I am sick of love." Mana for Aeronauts.

Almost modern is the Persian story of the man whose disagreeable voice in reciting his prayers in the mosque was annoying to everyone.

From a small beginning its sale and use has extended to every part of the United States and to many foreign countries.

WHY SHE "SHOOK" HER FRIEND Shopper Preferred to Be Alone When Purchasing Shoes. A woman sat down in the shoe department of a New York store and bade the clerk hurry. "I left a friend at the lace counter," she said, "and I want to get my shoes fitted before she gets here." The clerk apparently appreciated the circumstances. He worked fast, and in an incredibly short time the clerk had selected three satisfactory pallets. "I wonder why she was so anxious to get through before her friend came," remarked another customer. "For the same reason that makes every woman want to shop alone when buying shoes," laughed the clerk. "She has rather a large foot, and she didn't want her friend to find out what number she wears. It is seldom that the purchasers of shoes shop in pairs. They may hang together when buying anything else in the store, but when it comes to shoes each woman strikes out. She has to buy an unusually small foot. She would take her whole list of acquaintances along when buying shoes if she could." LIKE THE ORDINARY MORTAL High Church Dignitary Had Name to Sign to Check A comical story is told of the archbishop of York, who is an ardent fisherman. Not long ago he took him self for a few days to a little Yorkshire village, which boasted a good trout stream, and put up at a clean but modest hotel. His grave on his arrival informed the landlord who he was, and on leave wrote a check for his bill and handed it to his host. The landlord closely scanned the signature and asked: "What name is this?" "W. Ebor," answered his wife. "Ah," said the landlord, as he poked the check. "I thought you were told me a falsehood when you told me you were the archbishop of York." The man said they did not know that an archbishop has a name like an ordinary person. Pressed Clear Through: Children have a very fair idea of what constitutes justice, and decidedly object to being punished more than they think they deserve. A bright, little seven-year-old committed some trifling misdemeanor and was taken to her. After listening to her mother, Mabel said: "What makes you talk to me, mamma?" "Because," replied the mother, "I want to impress it upon your mind so that you won't do it again." "Well," was the response, with the faintest quiver of grief in her voice, "I think I 'm pressed clear that could the mother do but conclude that the mother been sufficiently 'pressed' for the time being, and send the little culprit about her play?" Why Are We So Hard? The following motto was on the wall of a woman's bedroom: "Let us take hands and help each other to day, because we are alive together." She is a bride of a year, and that is the sentiment with which she furished her bedroom and tries to carry in her everyday life. The hard blow we give with a word, the mean thought or harsh judgment recoils on ourselves. No man who is hard and critical is happy. "Take hands and help each other today" is the sure road to contentment and happiness. Got Even with Maid Shirley Brooks, one time editor of Punch, was noted for his whimsical humor. "It annoys me," he said, one day, or if I am discertably treated the shoof of a friend's door. I remember her and the mild, in her rudest manner, told me he was not in, and shut the door in my face. I felt I must be revenged upon her somehow, so I returned after an interval of five minutes, rang the bell, and in my mokest the mildly said: "Did I say he was" Marricd Chums "Has he any friends?" asked the judge of a prison in the dock.

Dawes' Good Advice to Young Men in Business. This is a hard world in business. It always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lend a helping hand to you in your ad veracity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you. You will need your little surplus, and to sell you something which would help you to "easy money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investigation into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial domagues as you distrust the political domague. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel less and spend less on your means to those who are poor; second, to hold from those who would take through force or fraud what you need for yourself and yours. You will then, writes Mr. Dawes in the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of them. Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy Would Save Him $100.00. "In 1003 I had a severe attack of diarrhoea," says B. N. Farrar of Cat Island, La. "For several weeks I was unable to do anything. On March 18, 1907, I had a similar attack, and took Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy which gave me prompt relief.

Then said the visitor from Boston: "My canine friend, I am exceedingly interested in the hypothesis that has been presented to me to the effect that your understanding of human speech is perfect, this matter I wish you would be able enough to bark three times in rapid consonation as an indication that your comprehension of my request is in all ways clear and lucid." "And did he bark?" said I to Teagarden, who was telling me the story. "No," said Teagarden, "but he growled like —" 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 a skillful and experienced woodsman to find them. He seeks the highest ground in a forest, climbs to the top of the tallest tree and surveys the surrounding country. The mahogany has a peculiar foliage and has practiced eye training, which the armenians follow the hunter and then come the sawyers and hewers, and then come the sawyers and hewers, a large mahogany taking two men a full day to fall it. The tree has large spurs, which project from the trunk at its base, and scaffolds must be erected so that the tree can be cut off above the spurs. This leaves a stump ten to fifteen feet high which is sheer waste, as the stump really contains the best lumber. The hunter has nothing to do with the work of cutting or removing the tree, his duty being simply to maintain it to the extent it may amount to $500 or $1,000 month, but he may travel weeks at a time without detecting a tree, and as he is generally paid by results his earnings are rather precarious. By order of a New York court a mother gave her seventeen-year-old girl who had attempted suicide a spanking with a hair brush. The fall from the sublime to the rudiculous is spectacular, but never more complete. Best Patent TRADE MARK FRACTURE CO. NRT 35008 FALCON FLCUR Shannon & Mott Co. Des Meines, Sauer SALT CELLAR OF LONG AGO. Was Distinctive Mark of Caste in the Middle Ages. "This is a medieval salt cellar," said the antiquary. "It is huge, it is shaped like a castle, it is solid silver and the price—but what is the use telling the price to you? Very magnificent, eh in the middle age, you know, the salt cellar was the principal table ornament. Guests sat above or below the salt as they were prominent or the reverse. Where do you think you'd have to do in those days, the fastidious had-individual knives, forks and spoons, but the common people ate with their fingers. You helpad your self from the general dish with your own spoon if you had one, but if you were very, very fastidious you liked the spoon clean first. The food was queer—rich, rank food—swans, herons, porpoises, garlic, verilge, saffron. There was meat and wine in foods and ushers stood about in the room, and continued couches such guests as had dined too well. These ushers, being overworked, were continually striking for more pay. The hours were queer, too. Breakfast, dawn; dinner, ten o'clock; supper, four o'clock in the afternoon." TAKING NO MORE CHANCES. Keepsie Had Special Cartridges For Poor Markerman. Dr. Seward Webb at a dinner at Shelburne Farms, his great Vermont estate, said of a certain poor marks man: "Visiting his English brother-in-law, he shot the head keeper in the leg the first morning he tried pheasant shooting. The man limped away curving horribly. Next day he had wretched luck, though the wounded head keeper without malice had assigned him to a fairly good place. Bang, bang, bang, went his gun every few seconds, but not a bird fell before it. He was much embarrassed. It seemed, too, that at each of his misses the under keeper smiles. He was not afraid, the wridges gave out. He hurried to the nearest keeper and demanded more. There ain't no more, sir, the man answered. 'No more! Nonsense. Why, you've got at least 1,000 in that box.' The keeper flushed and stammered: 'Ah, but them ain't for you, sir. They're for another giant. They've got in shot 'in, em. sir.' Boy's Life Saved. My little boy, four years old, had a severe attack of dysentery. We had two physicians; both of them gave him up. We then gave him Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy which cured him and believe that saved his life—William H. Stroling, Carbon Hill, Ala. There is no doubt but this remedy saves the lives of many children each year. Give it with eator oil according to the plain printed directions and a cure is certain. For sale by all druggists.

Ingleigh "What's all the row about?" the hungry quiesed as the manager of city restaurant was seen to rush excitedly to the cashier's desk and detain a departing individual. The waiter explained. For a month past some of the numbered checks had been missing, and it had been covered that certain patrons were economizing at the expense of the management. A man would order 12 cents' worth and receive a check for the amount. Then he would secret the check when the waiter wasn't looking and order a quarter more of eatables. The waiter would then give cash for 40 cents, but came a time to pay the customer use the 15-cent 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.
