Last Tuesday morning our city was again shocked by a brutal assault upon a white girl in her room by a Colored man about 1 o'clock at night, this find broke into her room and beat the girl and chocked her until she was in a critical condition, her cries aroused the police and they run him into a cellar and caught him and placed him in jail. We are indeed sorry for this terrible act by anybody, but more especially when committed by a Colored man for our race is undergoing a hard test anyway, and the brutal assaults should call out our bitter denunciation. There is no punishment by law to severe for such persons, and we hope that our good people will band themselves together to rid every community of the bad and loafing element of the race, this man was a stranger here no one knew him. DO YOUR DUTY AND FEAR NOT Our Legislature has been called here in special session to amend our State Primary law so as to permit the Republican voters to express their choice for the late Senator Allison's successor, also to elect his successor for the short term, and some members seem to fear to vote on senatorship, thinking that their vote might defeat them for reelection this fall. To these we would say do your duty and fear not. In the critical hour Abraham Lincoln did his duty and the people supported him. The Continental Congress did their duty in the revolution times, the people sustained the Declaration of Independence, as a legislator do right and fear not your constituents will support the right. Governor Cummins is without a doubt the logical successor of Allison, and the Republicans of Iowa demand him. SPECIAL SESSION OF THE LEGISLATURE. The Governor has summoned the 32 Iowa General Assembly together Monday this week to amend the State primary law so that the people can again express their preference for U. S. Senator to become Senator Allison's successor recently deceased. While there were several courses open to Governor Cummins yet we really think this course is really the best for all parties and and will seek to harmonize the G. O P., in Iowa and will leave many of the legislative candidate from embarrassment this fall. ANNUAL ADDRESS The Bystander received a very unique and interesting phamphlet last week containing the annual address of President Rev T. L Griffith before the Western Baptist Convention held in St. Louis, Mo, last July, the address was very liberal and instructive along Baptist doctrine and racial development and should be read by all as the Reverend is one of our worthy ministers.

Farrier, a skilled carriage painter and trimmer, he was born in Kentucky, and learnt his trade by apprenticeship, Price Five Cents worked at it for 17 years in Kansas City for one of the largest carriage and buggy factories in the west. He came to Clarinda about 9 months ago and entered into co-partnership with a white man who is a blacksmith and wagon repairer, and they have done so well that Mr. Farrier has purchased the whole shop and is doing some very fine work for some of the best people of the town.

And yet, when all the figures are tn, it wiil bo found that the settlers of the western prat- les have ralsed this year more than 126,000,000 bushels of ‘wheat, 100,000 000 bushels of oats and 25,000,000 bushels of barley, It has been “for tune making year" for thousands of Amerlean farmers who two or three years ago owned hardly more than the Clothes upon thelr backs, and. whose bumper crops from thelr homesteads will yleld them this season anywhere from $1,500 to $2,500 each, more money than many of them have seen atone time in all their lives, Very recently’ T passed through the western provinces from Winnipeg to Calgary, ahd in the Words of a fellow passenger, who was astonished by Wwhat he saw from the car windows in Manitoba, ‘we were, metaphorically speaking, fa a “land of milk and honey."

A Traveling Man's Experience. "I must tell you my experience on an E east bound O. R. & N. R. R. train from Pendleton to Le Grande, Ore." writes Sam A. Garber, a well known travelling man. "I was in the smoking department with some other travelling men when one of them went out into the coach and came back and said, 'There is a woman sick unto death in car.' I at once got up and went out, found her very ill with cramp colic, her hands and arms were drawn up so you could not straighten them, and with a death like look on her face. Two or three ladies were working with her and giving her whiskey. I went to my suit case and got my bottle of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy (I never travel without it), ran to the water tank, put a double dose of the medicine in it and stirred it with a pencil; then I had quite a time to get the ladies to let me give it to her, but I succeeded. I could at once see the effect and I worked with her rubbing her hands, and in twenty minutes I gave her another dose. By this time we were almost into Le Grande, where I was to leave the train. I gave 'the bottle to the hambur to be used in case another dose should be needed, but by the time the train ran into Le Grande she was all right, and I received the thanks of every passenger in the car."
