After the transaction of business, the program for the evening, which consisted of quotations from William Cullen Bryant; Debate: "Should the American Negro colonize and segregate himself from the white American;" and resitiatian, Miss Tahla Mash, was rendered. Owing to the absence of Mr. Dellinger, one of the affirmative speakers, and Mr. Mason Hall, one of the negative speakers, it was decided to have a general discussion of the subject for debate, Atty S. Joe Brown speaking on the affirmative side and Mr. George Mason speaking on the negative side; each speaker presenting a strong argument. Original ideas were introduced by various members, which were interesting and instructive. Resolutions of condolence were unanimously adopted out of respect for the death of Mr. Cary, father of Miss Letta Cary, an esteemed member of the Lyceum. Mr. Harrison Gauld was present and made a few interesting remarks. The club then adjourned to meet on next Tuesday evening at the home of Mr. Geo. Mason.

Longwell of the Highland Park College, on the recent color line drawn in that institution, and the only reason that was given for the action was that he President Longwell wanted to relieve the Negro student of the embarrassment which he had noted from time to time, and that a few southern whites objected to being in an institution with Negroes. Rev. Porter made a plea for the worthy young men and young women who were struggling against the closed doors and endeavoring to show to President Longwell if he and other representative men did not aid the Negro in his endeavor to rise, to what source must he turn. President Longwell admitted that he had never once thought of the very great injury his actions would do the Negro, and he said that the matter would be reconsidered. Rev. Porter though modest in his actions is doing much to aid the young men and women of their race in procuring their right. Post Cards, Cabinets, Penny Pictures When at Enterprise, stop at W. F.

This salve is also unequaled for chapped hands, sore nipples and diseases of the skin. Price 25 cents. For sale by all druggists. A. Strong Appeal: Almost modern is the Persian story of the man whose disagreeable voice in reciting his prayers in the mosque was annoying to everyone. One day some one asked him how much he was paid for reciting. "Paid!" he replied, "I am not paid. I recite for the sake of Allian!" "Then," replied the other, "for Allah's sake don't!" Highland Park College Closed Against Negro. It was rumored to us last week and confirmed this week that Highland Park Normal College of this city has refused to admit Colored students this fall to the college. Prof. H. O Longwell stated that as they draw a large number of their students from the south, these students objected to go with Colored students and they lost those southern students. The young Colored man who applied was Archie Alexander, the son of Price Alexander of Highland Park, who is one of our choice young men a graduate of the Des Moines High school and had entered Highland Park College last year in the engineers department and would have been a sophmore this year. We are indeed surprised at the College action. It is perfectly outrageous to have allowed the young man to have spent one year there, and then cut him off without a reason. We have nothing but condemnation for such a so-called College and even less respect for such a so-called president that would for a moment think of such a thing in Iowa, this school ought to be boycotted by the educated of the entire north. It is a blot upon our state a sham to civilization and outrage upon education, the very idea of closing the door of hope the door of liberal education, the door of equal opportunity to a boy, because of color is rediculous, and the utopian spirit of modern times should laugh this spirit into shame.

The good people of Springfield, Ill., are going to make some of those drunken rioters suffer for their acts of a few weeks ago. Already the woman who led the mob in destroying Mr. Loper's cafe and in killing innocent colored men has killed herself. This last week the special grand jury that was summoned has indicted 117 of those guilty parties, and among them are 4 police officers who disobeyed orders and failed to do their sworn duty. Below we print a part of the jury's report. It is good and we indorse every word: Sheriff Warner, Chief of Police Wilbur Morris, Captain Charles Walsh of Troop D, Springfield, and other officers are commended by the grand jury. The report condemns alleged "cowards" among the officers and says: After the most diligent inquiry we condemn in unmeasured terms the cowardly, contemptuous action of those members of the police force who, having taken the oath of office, failed to do their duty. "Men who were paid from the money obtained from the pockets of the people of this city to protect life and property; men who were ordered by the heads of departments of police to go out and disperse the mob, not only failed to use a club, handle a pistol or raise a voice against the mob and on the side of law and order, but some are shown to have assisted in doing the work that has wrought destruction to thousands of dollars worth of property and has brought the blush of shame to every law abiding citizen of this city. Men, who, under oath, were bound, and who, had they acted promptly, could have driven back to the obscurity from whence it came, the mob that for a time assumed to hold Spring-field in its bloody grasp. "We recommend that the civil service commission of the city of Springfield, without fear or favor and while evidence can easily be obtained, determine, by fair trial, who failed to prove himself a worthy member of the force and deal with him accordingly. "We further recommend that the civil service commission inquire diligently into the so-called 'third degree' or 'sweating' process said to be carried on in various cases at the city prison and if it is found that after an arrest a prisoner is struck by hand or club, or otherwise mistreated the same be stopped."

Devices of Defense: What could be more perfect defense than the device of the moorhen? She sinks herself in the water beneath an overhanging root or bank, leaving only her bill in sight. And that looks like a fallen leaf. You may stand wighin six feet of her and she will not move, so sure is she that her ruse will succeed.—London evening Standay. IMPROVED FORM OF INCUBATOR. Operated by Electricity, Better Results Are Secured. An electric incubator has been introduced in Europe, the operation of which is said to be attended by surer results than other methods, for the reason that it is capable of finer adjustment as far as heating and ventilation are concerned. One of the most difficult features of artificial poultry breeding is a proper supply of fresh air. In the electrical incubator air is supplied from underneath, the entering fresh air coming in contact with the eggs after being properly preheated by special radiators. This ventilation is controlled by opening to a variable extent the lateral slides fixed at the top of the apparatus. It should be remembered that ventilation plays the role of maintaining the life of the germ. While an ample supply of fresh air, therefore, is extremely valuable for the development of the germ, any excess of ventilation will prove detrimental; in fact, the surplus air will exert a drying action on the contents of the eggs. In this incubator the matter of ventilation and heating is looked after automatically. HAVE SURPLUS OF FURNITURE. Writer Criticizes Modern Methods of House Adornment. Most people have far too much furniture in their houses, and certainly the majority indulge in too much textile fabric. Too many curtains, too many antimacassars, too many mats and cushions, says a writer in Good Health. All these things collect and hold dust, and curtains shut out fresh air and sunshine. Carpets, especially in the rooms we sleep in, I would abolish. The bedroom carpet is a snare, and the sooner it makes its final exit the better for the family health. That great artist and critic, William Morris, once said: "Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful. This is counsel many women might take to heart, thereby making their homes more beautiful, and undoubtedly far easier to keep clean and orderly." A Friend. What is the best thing in life? I queried recently. I have raised the same question aforetime, and found the majority of responses leaned to "human affection." Surely there is nothing that comes to us by the grace of God so helpful as this "friend," who may be a husband, a wife, a sister or a brother, who knows the best of us and the worst of us, and who can love us still, ready to stand by us till the morning when our craft has grounded in the shallows or is helplessly stationary in maelstrom vortex, when we need all the strength our God can give simply to live, my friend, simply to live! How rare friends are one soon realizes, and how priceless no words can duly say.—Home Chat. Clinched His Statement They were cross-examining, in a Chicago court recently, a bookmaker who had been caught in the toils for playing some other game than his own. The third sub-assistant district attorney was intent upon a conviction, however, and was doing his best, none too successfully, to shake the testmony of the defendant. "You're sure of that?" he yelled, as the bookmaker stuck to an assertion that, did not suit the case of the state. "Sure, I am certain," came the answer. "You remember that you are under oath?" "I do that." "And you'd swear to this statement of yours?" "Swear to it? Why, Mr. Lawyer, and judge, your honor, I'd bet a hundred on it any day." How Coal Grows It takes a prodigious amount of vegetable matter to form a layer of coal, it being estimated that the present growth of the world would make a layer less than one-eighth of an inch in thickness, and that it would take a million years of vegetable growth to form a coal-bed ten feet in thickness. The United States has an area of more than 440,000 square miles of coal-fields, and more than 100,000,000 tons of coal were mined in this country last year—enough to run a ring around the earth at the center $5\frac{1}{2}$ feet wide and $5\frac{1}{2}$ feet thick. Competent scientists say that there is enough coal in the United States to supply the world for the next 2,000 years. In the Same Boat: An old couple in Glasgow were in a very depressed state owing to dull trade. Thinking their son in America would help them, they wrote stating their trouble, and that if he did not help them they would have to go to the poorhouse. Three weeks passed, and then came a letter from their son, saying: "Dear Mither and Falther—Just wait another fortnight an' I'll come hame an' gang wi' ye. Your affectionate son." Boiled Down. "Tired of hearing my 'sugary words,' are you, Pulsatilla Torkell! howled the indignant Orlando. "Perhaps you will be kind enough to tell me, Miss Corkins, what a sugary word is! What is it made of?" "It is made, Mr. Spoonamore," answered the fair Pulsatilla, "of verbum sap." Without word of any description Orlando Spoonamore grabbed his hat and groped his way out into the darksome night. The blow had crushed him. erty) ‘ Se NR Se bai . f 1 REAR " Towa State Bystander (— yetander Pub, Oo.

Citron Tree and the Bible, Was the citron tree the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden? Some persons think it was. In any event it appears that “citron” would often be the right rendering in passages where the au- thorized version of the Bible gives “apple.” For Instawee, in the Prov- erbs, “A word fitly spoken {s like ap- ples of gold in pictures of silver.” ‘And in the Song of Solomon. “As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so {8 my beioved among the vons.” And again, “Stay me with Gagons, comfort me with apples, for Tam sick of love.” Cartridges as Small Change.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of bair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possi- ble; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving succees. The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated,and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that heirs is the same or *‘just as good”) or referred to PORO, We advise you to use only PORO Gair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.)
