AFTER THE BATTLE. In many respects the great victory won by Taft and the Republican party last week was a notable victory. 1st, because it was claimed that organized labor was against Taft; 2nd, it was said that Taft would lose the Colored vote because of the Brownsville affair and 3rd, they said that Taft was a weak candidate and could not pull his full party strength. Let us see from the election returns. It seems that that organized labor did not vote against Secretary Taft, but voted for him and the party that has done so much for them, even in the large labor districts iu Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, also in the large cities where the labor would have been felt against us, went for us by an increase. The Colored man did not desert the party that he naturally belongs to, for like the labor vote in the largest districts of the cities where there are many Colored voters there we find an increased Republican vote. At least their vote was the balancing power in two Iowa Congressional districts, and in the States of Missouri, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas and Illinois their vote alone saved the Republican party from defeat and made it possible for Mr. Taft to be our next president. The Colored man has always been relied upon in time of need and under all circumstances have proven themselves true to their friends, and loyal to their country. They have been the savior of our country both in war and political battle. Thirdly, Mr. Taft's fine record, true judicial manhood and sterling qualities were stronger than the people had given him credit. We can all rejoice and fling "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." COLEAX WHITE ASSAULTER. On last Monday the country was shocked to read of the horrible assault of a white bruce on a little 12 year old girl in Colfax last Sunday evening. He coaxed the little girl into his automobile to take a ride and then committed the terrible crime. The girl is in a critical condition, he left her by the road side and a neighbor lady found her prostrated form later. This white villian was caught an hour later and had to be taken to Newton for fear of lynching. He was telephone manager at Prarie City. The peculiar thing is that all of our Des Moines evening dailies have not had a display headline with invective adjectives, such as big burly bruit, or writing editorials inflaming the people against the man, as they would have done had it been a Colored man, then censor the whole race for the wrong act of one man. Is that fair? Is that justice? Treat all alike. MONMOUTH NEWS. Mr. George Wallace of this city, who holds a responsible position with one of the leading pew companies of Ft.

NELSON CREWS AT WESTERN UNINERSITY. Last Thursday and Friday Nov. 5th, and 6th, the church and the State Board of trustees of the Western University met to discuss in sollen delibration the expanding, growing future of this institution. Dr. Vernon president, had a most splendid report to make of the extraordinary progress and prosperity of the school At chapel services, Ron. Nelson Crews one of the church trustees was selected by Bishop Abraham Grant, president of the trustee board, to make a speech. Mr. Crews had lately finished a hard political campaign which brought success to the party, and was in the best of spirit and of voice. Among the many good things he said to the assembled brethren, faculty and students were as follows: You are living in a day of progress. The opportunities you enjoy here are unusual and abundant. Every comfort and advantage is offered you here to gain knowledge and character. Such opportunities as these were not offered to these elderly men who grace and dignify the platform. This beautifully decorated chapel, these splendidly equipped buildings, this strong corps of teachers from the leading schools and this most literal state of Kansas whose highest capital is made up of the intelligence of her citizens. Joy unbounded dome to my heart when I remember but three years ago at the dedication of this very building when Governor E. W. Hock lent his presence and good advice to the occasion, there also spoke from this very platform another man, W. E. Stubbs, with words so replete with encouragement and good will to my race and this particular institution. That man has lastly been elected to fill the position of Governor of the great state of Kansas, and I am sure that under his administration the work at the Western University will be given an impetus and forward advance characteristic only of his noble heart and lofty ideals for profession. With all the blessings, natural advantages, and resources with which this great institution is surrounded all would count for naught, but for the mind of a great personality to lead them. With the great captain to guide and steer the ship in the person of Bishop Abraham Grant, a living engineer whose personality reaches out and draws the strongest men around him, himself one of the foremost Negroes of this day and time. The Western university is unusually. And in addition to this to have a president of this institution the Hon. W. T. Vernon, register of the United States Treasury, peerless orator and educator, filling the highest office within the gift of the Negro race in America, with credit and crowning success. It is a blessing that no other institution in America can boost of. You live in a progressive age. This school is destined to grow, and in 20 years will have stretched out and embraced not only these hills included in this campus but all of the surrounding territory. I congratulate you Mr. President and members of the faculty and members of the student body upon your splendid success."

How to Cure a Cold Be as careful as you can you will occasionally take oud; and when you do, get a medicine of known reliability: one that has has an established reputation and that is certain to effect a quick cure. Such a medicine is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It has gained a world wide reputation by its remarkable cures of this most common ailment: and can always be depended upon. It acts on nature's plan, relieves the lungs, aids expectoration, opens the secretions and aids nature in restoring the system to a healthy condition. During the many years in which it has been in general use we have yet to learn of a single case of cold or attack of the grip having resulted in pneumonia when this remedy was used; which shows conclusively that it is a certain preventive of that dangerous disease. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy contains no opium or other narcotics and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. For sale by all drugstores. DES MOINES NEGRO LYCEUM.

The Lincoln Institute short term of Lincoln Institute closed August 15th and September 1st, after a vacation of two weeks, ushered in the opening of the fall term with the full and regular corps of teachers in hand. This demonstrates as we have said on several occasions that Lincoln Institute's approximate continuous session more nearly than any other school of college, if not, let us hear from the others. The opening was unusually now at the close of the second month, about five hundred students have in instituted, and every day adds to the increasing number. Many states are represented for this famous school has become very favorably known for the identification of its noble head, Dr. B, Allen. Dr. Allen spares neither time nor pain to make a success of his school, to keep its standards high and deserves much credit for the great work he is doing for his race. The love and esteem in which he is held by his faculty and students is a reflection of his birthday, September 8th, when the former presented him with a beautiful silk umbrella, gold and pearl handle, and the latter with a gold headed cane. The moral ideal set by Dr. Allen for his students is a very high one, and his timely chapel and Sunday talks to the young men in the school are bound, sooner or later, to bear excellent fruit in the future of life these young people. The literary and industrial work has secured gold medals in the great expositions or world fairs, and may be seen in the office as proof of the estimate placed upon the work of the institution, and each succeeding year brings with it a higher standard of excellence. The true college and athletic spirit is endorsed by the administration, maintained by the students and Lincoln institute's prowess on the gridiron and diamond are acknowledged far and wide. The most recent victory, that of October 17th, with the Brownville team, showed a score of sixty-one to zero in favor of Lincoln. The literary bodies show a spirit of activity that is very commendable and they materially help in creating for the institution a healthy atmosphere.

Inequity In Stearing "What's all the row about?" the hungry man quarried to the manager of the 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 discovered that certain patrons were economizing at the expense of the management. A man would order 15 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's worth more of catables. The waiter would then give a check for 40 cents, but when it came time to pay someone else turned the receipt ticket to get by the door. "Hm," muttered the banman; "nine fcheme," and in the excitement he passed a Canadian dime on the cashier. Wisconsin Mink Farm. A recent venture not yet listed as paying or otherwise is a mink farm started by a man in northern Wisconsin, who, noting the popularity of mink and the goodness of good food, turned his few acres into a mink farm from which he hopes to make his profits. The Woman and the Collar. Bociety may assume that the sign of woman's emancipation from thesecution of the harem or the slavery of the savage tribe is her education, or her domestic responsibility. Not at all. The symbol of her freedom to do as she pleases and to be what she pleases is her possession of the right to wear the masculine linen collar. Comfort, trimness, respectability, dignity are all entrenched behind the spotless white of the carefully laundered band. Safe in its firm grasp, a woman may be active or idle, warm or cool, calm or excited. The history of the collar is interesting. In its present form it is, of course, a modern device. Those who would trace it to the necklace of teeth collected by the savage mistake its real significance. It began its existence in civilization, in barbarism. The ruff invented to hide a royal scar evolved into the face ruche and the linen band. Byronic collar proclaimed laxity of morals, as the white stock declared for the stern virtue of the Puritan. But the conventional modern collar has encircled the neck of the modern freeman for many years, and has apparently established its claim as a kind of insignia of liberty. Let the woman beware how the charms of fingerie or lace beguile her from her right in the plain linen collar, urges the Youth's Companion. When her role is that of princess or queen, she may don the necklace or the ruff. When she claims her right to a fair partnership, a good day's work and a share of the profit—be they gold or truth or love—let her wear, happily the white linen yoke, at once buckler and badge. Constitution岛, which the generosity of Mrs. Russell Sage has presented to the United States government as an addition to the West Point reservation, was once a strategic place. During the revolution a gigantic chain was stretched from it to the mainland to prevent British warships from making their way up and down the river. At first, so say the records, the chain sank so that boats could float over it; this difficulty was at last obviated by the use of a log boom. Several of the links have been preserved as civic structures, notably at the Washington headquarters at Newburg, an to Trophy Point on the West Point plateau. Constitution island was the home of Susan Warner, who wrote under the pseudonym, Elizabeth Here. Here "The Wide, Wide World," "Queecy and a score of books of religion and romance were composed. Miss Warner is buried near the Cadets' monument in the West Point cemetery. Her sister, Miss Anna Warner, who also wrote many novels, still lives on the island. In presenting the island to the nation, Mrs. Sage announced that Miss Warner is a joint donor, inasmuch as she has "steadily refused, from patricolic motives," to accept offers to sell from private parties, who were willing to give more than the government could afford. She is to have the use of her old home while she lives. Convention requires that the writer of a letter shall at the beginning and end of his epistle express, if he does not feel, respect for the person whom he addresses. Sarasam, vituperation and virulent hostility may be introduced by "Dear sir," and followed by "Very respectfully, your obedient servant." The writers of "baboo" "English in India—some of them, at least—are more consistent. A sympathizer with the sedition now in progress in India lately wrote a letter to an English official, which is printed in a London paper, which begins, it is true, with "Dear sir," but concludes with this sentence: "Hoping you are not in good health, I am your enemy, Gemaji Timail." Prof. Dolbeare of Tut's college has found that at 60 degrees Fahr, the rate of the chirp of crickets is 80 per minute; at 70 degrees Fahr, the rate is 120 per minute, a change of four chirps per minute for each change of one degree. Prof. Dolbeare also notes that the individual crickets chirping by themselves observe no great regularity, but in chorus they keep in time as if led by the wand of a. conductor. Again, the professor asserts that crickets in adjoining fields, preserving the same rate per minute, will follow different beats as of their respective conductors, "as one may easily perceive by listening." At a recent special session the Geor gia legislature passed a law which vultu- ly ends the convict-lease system. Heretofore men convicted of penal fees have been leased to contractors for work of certain kinds. They were forced to toll in chains, were poorly fed and ill clothed, and in many cases subjected to hideous cruelty. The sys- tem also tended toward corruption in the administration of the laws, and was altogether evil. Georgia is to be congratulated upon having rid itself of the system. A pension for total disability has been granted to a soldier who con- tracted leprosy while serving in the army in the Philippines. It amounts to $72 a month. The government, very properly, takes care of those who risk life and health in its service. If that Georgia bethesd had been with five dollars instead of $600,000 there would have been nothing more curious than neighborhood gossip over new marriage with her father's chant Iowa State News Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth.

Des Moines—All the prominent state and special agents of fire insurance companies doing business in Iowa were in Des Moines Nov. 10 to attend the second meeting of the Iowa Fire Prevention association.

Inspection of large risks and conditions will be made in each district and reported to the chairman in connection with the secretary at Des Moines. The fire agents will inspect all large buildings and notify property owners of the defects discovered. The property owner is then expected to remedy them and make repairs. The inspectors will also investigate incendiarity and will work in conjunction with the fire marshal, an office which will be inaugurated by the legislature this winter. 2,500 PEOPLE ARE AFFECTED. Residents and Students at Iowa City in Dyesterrie, Foldemic. Iowa City.—Fully 2,500 residents of Iowa City and students of Iowa university, including most of the members of the football team, are suffering from an epidemic of dysentery which has swept over the community. It was almost necessary to suspend class room exercise at the university on account of the small attendance of the dysenteric epidemic was caused by eromotrix, a micro-organism which flourishes in the still water of the mains. A test is being made of the river water and unless it is very impure, the mains will be flushed with unfiltered river water, which will remove the organic growth. In case the river water is too impure to be used with safety notwithstanding, eromotrix work itself out by natural means. In the mean time boiled water is being used by the residents of the city.

Mason City—"This has been a hard year for the product of cement mills," said Secretary McCourte of the Northwestern States Cement company, at its second annual meeting here. M McCourte went on to explain that the panic which was prevalent in the east affected the big way of building and thus directly affected the cement business. Many mills were shut down. While this was true the local mill was able to run under full head all year, and declared its regular dividend, and re-elected its present corps of officers. The mill at the present time is turning out cement and all of this is finding a ready sale. Eight big kilns are under full headway, and newly 400 men find steady employment.

BIG POSTAL DEFICIT RECEIPTS FOR FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2011, 478, 683 Due to Advance In Pay of Employees and Lower Per Cent in Increase of Income. Washington, D. C., Nov. 13.—Postmaster General Meyer announced that the postal deficit for the fiscal year, ended June 30, 1908, amounted to $16,910,279. The receipts were $391,478,683 (being $755,655 greater than the previous year,) and the expenditures $208,581,856. The deficit is the largest in the history of the postoffice department. An analysis of the figures shows the advance in the rate of compensation authorized by congress for employees of the railway mail service, rural delivery service, city delivery service, and assistant postmasters and clerks in postoffices. The normal increase in the revenue for several years was about 9 per cent, and in 1908 4.29 per cent, the off in the rate of growth being due to an increase in question. The postmaster said in his annual report he would call the attention of congress to the fact that he is "firmly convinced that the establishment of a special local parcel post confined to rural routes would tend to wipe out the postal deficit and would finally make the rural delivery self sustaining, besides being of service to the farmer and a boom to the retail country merchant." CASTRO READY FOR WAR. He Puts His Supports in a State of Defense. Caracas, Nov. 13.—With the placing in position of mountain artillery at various strategic positions about La Guatra so as to prevent any attempted landing from Holland's warships if they come to Venezuela with hostile intent, President Castro has now completed his preparations for the defense of Venezuela's principal city, Caracas, only have the Venezuelan army and navy made preparations for a blockade, but so the merchants of both La Guatra and Caracas. All of the salt in La Guatra was purchased by a prominent politician and the entire stock of the flour mill was acquired by influential interests. Unusually large importations of rice and other provisions have been received from Europe by the principal importers, and the police have sections to make heavy shipments if they were convinced, after making investigation that Holland meant business. Nominee Is Unwilling New York, Nov. 13—A republican was elected to congress in North Carolina, and who bemoans the fact, is in New York. He is John Mctley Moorechal, a well-to-do woolen mill operator, who reluctantly accepted the nomination, refused to campaign and did not expect to win, but when the votes were counted, defeated Aubrey Books, the Democratic candidate by more than four hundred votes. The well-written statesman is now on his way to Washington to obtain a residence for himself and family, still persisting that he is a "business fan", and ignorant of politics. Narrowly. Escars.

Locomotive of Express Crashes Into Coaches of Local Train—Many Persons Are Hurt. New Orleans—It was a heavy price in human flesh and blood that paid for the errors of railroad trainmen when a Great Northern express crashed into the rear of a New Orleans & Northeastern local, shortly before nine o'clock Wednesday morning at Little Woods station, a fishing and hunting camp on Lake Ponchartrain 12 miles from this city. Eleven persons were killed and many more injured, some of them fatal. The wreck was attended by unusually gruesome scenes in the fogbound swamps of the lake shore. To add to the horror of the situation, the debris was fire and only the heroic works of the surviving passengers prevented the cremation of those pinned down in the debris. The following killed have been identified: C. A Crawford, Seminary, Miss.; William Attaway, three years old, Silden, La.; C. B Lowry, southern representative of American Creosote works; William A. Martin, Silden, La.; J. H. Shows, Morriston, Miss.; Ora Travis, Hattiesburg, Miss.; Augustus Helkamp, Pearl River, Miss.; C. E Roos, New Orleans university. When he then the school of the Great northern train took the Northeastern tracks at Silden he says he was given the usual right of way signal and proceeded to shove his train toward New Orleans at a 45 mile an hour clip. As the station at Little Woods was approached, the Northeastern local suddenly oooped up through the fog. Engineer Blackman applied his brakes and remained at the throttle while the ponderous locomotive plowed its way through the train ahead, leaving behind it a trail of corpses and injured passengers. The Great Northern express was seriously hurt, but those aboard the Northeastern local were not so fortunate.

Business Man Killa Himself Lawrence, Mass—William Oswald, president of the Telegram Publishing Company and one of the best-known business men in Lawrence, committed GOTHAM POSTMASTER SHOT Wounded by Eccentric Stenographer Who Then Commits Suicide. New York—Edward M. Morgan postmaster of New York city, was wounded in the abdomen Monday morning by a bullet-fired by E. H. B. Mackay, an eccentric English stenographer, who then committed suicide. Mr. Morgan was resting well at night and unless complications develop he will recover. Mr. Morgan probably owes his life to the quick wit and bravery of his 14-year-old daughter Dorothy, who saw Mackay draw his revolver and stuck it with her hand, before the postmaster would have been fatally wounded, for his assailant was at close range and fired four shots in all. The shooting occurred at One Hundred and Forty-sixth street and only a short distance from Mr. Morgan's home. He was on his way downtown at the time. An investigation of the life and record of Mackay reveals that he was of a morbid nature and a former inmate of an asylum in Worcester, Miss. That his act was premeditated is made certain by a letter he left, but aside from a fancied grievance against Mr. Morgan and the post office authorities concerning the handling of his mail, nothing has come to light to indicate why he should have sought to murder the postmaster. His clothing when searched gave up between thirty and forty smokeless cartridges, a heavy slungshot, a knife with a four-inch blade and a clasp knife. WATTERSON'S SON KILLED. He Falls Nine Stories from an Office Window. New York. — Harvey W. Watterson, a lawyer and younger son of Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courrier-Journal, plunged to his death from the nineteenth floor of his office building at 37 Wall street late Wednesday afternoon. His body shot downward for 110 feet and landed on the roof of a ten-story building adjoining. Almost every bone was removed, and death was practically instantaneous. While there were no eye-witnesses to the tragedy, evidently it was entirely accidental. Mr. Watterson's hat and overcoat were on his closed desk. Presumably he had attempted to lower the window, and either stumbling over the radiator, which was in front of the low sill, or losing his footing in some manner unknotted, pitched forward and down to death on the roof below. He was killed and married. He was junior member of the law firm of Wing, Russell and Watterson. Bold Attempt at Blackmail Denver, Col.—A woman giving her name as Mrs. H. C.

"I regret to say," remarked Descart French, at the meeting of the Squashville Political Debate elicited that this club has been degenerating ever since I became a member of it. The desacon paused and flushed as he saw a slight smile on the faces of his fellow members. "What I mean to say is," he continued, with some haste, "that ever once I joined this club I've noticed a gradual but decided change for the worse." The smile on the faces of the other members deepened, and the descent face turned almost scarlet. "You all know what I mean," he added, desperately. "What I mean is that from the very minute I became a member of the Squashville Political Debate club, I could see that it was beginning to lose its value as an organization, and the longer I have stayed in it, the more steadily have I seen it running down hill"—Lippin cott's. Tune Kermit Whistled. Mr. W. W. Miller, a well-known lawyer, tells an anecdote of Kermit Roosevelt, the president's son. "I was acting as steward," says Mr. Miller, "in some gymkhana hras at Oyster Bay a few weeks ago, and one of the events was a race in which the contestants had to ride a given distance to a certain spot where an equal number of young ladies stood with pencil, paper and envelope. Each rider had to dismount here and whistle a tune, the lady writing its name down on the paper. She then had to seal it up in the envelope and hand it to the rider, who remounted and finished the race, delivering the envelope to the judges' stand. The first one in with a correct answer won the event. "As steward, I was deputised before the race to write down the name of the tune each entrant would whistle." "What are you going to whistle?" I said young Karen. "I'm going to whistle." Everybody Works but Father," said the president's son. FOR THE LADY OR THE AUTO. Expressman—I don't knew whether this comes here. The address is indicted.

EAGER TO WORK Health Regained by Right Food. The average healthy man or woman is usually eager to be busy at some useful task or employment. But let dyspepsia or indigestion get hold of one, and all endeavor becomes a burden. "A year ago, after recovering from an operation," writes a Mild, lady, "and nerves began to give me much trouble. At times my appetite was vowless, but when indulged, indigestion followed. Other times I had no appetite whatever. The food I took did not nourish me, and I grew weaker than ever. "I lost interest in everything, and wanted to be alone. I had always had good nerves, but now the meridie trifle would upset me and bring on a violent headache.

Shortly afterwards, while occupying the pulpit, he gave out a hymn, read the first verse and proceeded to read the fifth, commencing: "Forever let my grateful heart," then he hesitated and exclaimed: "The choir will omit the fifth verse."

REBUKE FOR THE LAWYERS Chicago.—The petition by the United States government for a rehearing of the appeal of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana from the $20, $40,000 fine of Judge Landis was overruled Tuesday, by Judges Groscucc, Baker and Seaman in the United States circuit court of appeals. In a brief opinion, delivered by Judge Groscucc, the original opinion of the court, reversing Judge Landis' decision, was upheld. The case now lies in the hands of Attorney General Bonaparte, and it is expected that he will apply for a writ of certiorari in the United States supreme court in order to obtain a rehearing of the big case by the country's highest court. The content of the petition for rehearing, which had the signatures of Attorney General Bonaparte, District Attorney Edwin W. Slim attached to it, are almost wholly ignored by the reviewing court, reference being made to but two points of contention. Pettitioners Are Taken to Task. Then the opinion concludes with what is taken to be a citricism of the government attorneys for the manner in which they petitioned for another hearing of the appeal. The federal lawyers were not sparing in their causal law-picking in the appellate judge's opinion on the appeal. The three judges of the appellate bench, in denying the petition for rehearing, say: "Courts have the right to expect that counsel accustomed to practice in the courts of review not only know the A. Attorney General Bonaparte, meaning of legal terms constantly in use in discussions and opinions of these courts, but will not misuse such terms to spread misinformation respecting a judgment that, in the nature of the case, is bound to attract wide public attention." Fine Could Not Exceed $720,000. According to the judgment, the punishment of the oil company could have been properly based only on the settlement made to the Chicago & Alton railway, from which it was accused of accepting concessions. There were 36 of these settlements, and a maximum fine for all these could have $720,000 and the minimum $36,000. In answer to the government's objection that under the decision of the higher court a corporation may use a subsidiary concern to commit crime, while escaping punishment, the court adds to the opinion as follows: "True it is that if one corporation uses another corporation to violate law, just as if one individual uses another to violate the law, such a tender ought not, though masked, to go unpunished." Well-Known Steel Man a Suicide. New York.-Walworth H. Tappan, well-known in the iron and steel trade of the south and middle west, who lived in Louisville, Ky., blew his brains out Sunday night in the washroom of the Hotel Savoy, a Fifth avenue hostelry.

Guernsey, late professor in the Hahnemann Medical College, Philadelphia, which should be in the hands of every young man and young woman in the country. Tactfully and delicately, the book thoroughly understood, explains matters that all young people contemplating matrimony should know, and gives authentic information upon subjects that parents should impart to their children approaching manhood and womanhood, but which, from false feeling of delicacy, are usually avoided. It is a book which should be in every home and can be obtained by students of the University of lithuania, F. A. Davis Company, Room 715 Davis Bldg., 1914 Cherry Street, Philadelphia, Pa. END OF PET DETESTATION. New Yorker Finally Rid of the Diep- plied High Hat. There is a certain man in New York whose pet detention is a high hat. In his journey through life he has acquired many dislikes, some prejudices, and a few hatreds—but his feeling toward a high hat goes far beyond the limits implied by the mild word "hatred." However, family influences were brought to bear on him when he had reached the proper milestones in his life, and these influences were so strong and insistent that eventually the man in question purchased a high hat; what is more, he actually donned it. But his hatred abated not a jot. In fact, it grew. He used to open his hatbox and eye the vicious, mur- derously. But thoughts of what the family would say if he should adopt him were so strong and every time he began, leaving the thing unharmed, and vented his rage in profanity. Once he and his family went to live at a hotel in the country. And one night, with appalling suddenness, that hotel caught fire. Fortunately, everybody in it was able to get out in safety. The young man of the hat, after counting heads, and seeing that his people were out of danger, decided to dash into the burning room. He still a bit of time—in order to see whether he might rescue a few more things from his room. In the excitement attendant on the discovery of the fire the hotel guests had been obliged to look to their personal safety, without thinking over much of that their belongings. Well, the young man, plunging gallantly through flame and smoke, reached his room. There, the first thing which caught his eye was the high hat. With a look of diabolical he regained it for a few seconds. Then—with a shiver of delight—he kicked it into the innest part of the room, into crackling flame and eddying smoke, far from all possible means of escape. Then, diabolical glee still illuminating his features, he emerged a happy man. Again the Hair. The man's hair, at 47, was so thick and dark that it gave him an abnormal and coarse look—the look somehow, of the proprietor of a swindling slideshow. He was, however, a millionaire banker. "All this talk about the hair turning gray if you go bareheaded is false," he said, "except in the case of those who don't use brilliance. Since I was a boy of 18, when my hair got very thin, I have gone bareheaded all summer long by a hair specialist's advice. To that I impute my excellent crop. "Of course, my hair, dated by the sun and wind would have turned gray if I wasn't oiled it with brilliantly colored. I oiled and brushed it till it shone like satin. That combination—hair bared daily to the sun and oiled daily with brilliantly—positively ensures a thatch that will last out the lifetime. And this treatment staves off rather than brings on grayness." Special Train to Carry a Wreath. Carelessness on the part of some court official recently rendered necessary the sending of a special train from Budapest to Vienna to carry a laurel wreath for the tomb of the murdered Empress Elizabeth. It is the custom every year to make up on the empress' estate at Godolpo, in Hungary, a gigantic laurel wreath to be placed in the ruins of the vaults of the Capuchin church on the eve of the anniversary of her assassination. This year when the official in charge of the wreath arrived in Budapest he found that the wreath had not been put in the carriage. To go back for it was to lose the train, and as it was imperative that the wreath should be laid in the imperial vaults that evening, the court chamberlain ordered a special train to carry the wreath over the 163 miles between the Hungarian and Austrian capitals.

EX-SENATOR IS SHOT DEAD EX-SENATOR IS SHOT DEAD E. W. CARMACK KILLED IN DUEL ON NASHVILLE STREET. Blain by Robin Cooper Because of Published Attacks on His Father—Former Slightly Wounded. Nashville, Tenn.—Former Senator Edward Ward Carmack, editor of The Tennessee, was shot and killed Monday afternoon about four o'clock on Seventh avenue North, in front of the Polk flats, by Robin Cooper, a son of Col. Duncan B. Cooper. Mr. Carmack was going north on Seventh avenue in front of the Polk flats and Col. Cooper and his son Robin were approaching Seventh avenue on Union street. Soon after they came in sight of one another the shooting began, Robin Cooper, it is said, bring two shots and Senator Carmack one. But Cooper, it is said, drew his pistol but did not fire. Senator Carmack fell to the ground, dying instantly. Robin Cooper was shot in the right shoulder but was not badly hurt. It is understood that the trouble is one of the results of the recent Democratic gubernatorial primary in which Carmack was defeated. Carmack, since he had been editor of The Tennessee, had been quite causal in criticising what he called the Democratic machine, and had several editorials about Col. Cooper. Carmack first drew it, is said, Col. Cooper notified Carmack that these editorial criticisms must cease. Monday morning another editorial reference to Col. Cooper appeared in the Tennessee, and this is supposed to have been the immediate cause of the trouble. As soon as Carmack fell Col. Cooper put his arm around Robin Cooper and both walked a few feet down seventh avenue to Dr. R. G. Fort's office, where the slight wound in Robin's shoulder was examined and treated. Mr. Carmack to an undertaking establishment. His pistol was lying at his side with two of the chambers empty when the body was picked up. Robin Cooper is a practicing attorney, 27 years old and single. KAISER WILLIAM CENSURED. Members of German Reichstag Use Severe Language. Berlin.—Emperor William never has been so severely judged by his parliament as he was Tuesday during the debate in the rechstag on the interpellations concerning the conversations published with the permission of the emperor in the London Daily Telegraph, on October 28. The criticisms of his majesty's court, his ministers and his majesty's advisers of the could remain in well as of freedom of speech, went to lengths that astonished observers acquainted with the traditional caution of the chamber in dealing with the personality of the sovereign. And the emperor seemed to have no defenders. Chancellor von Buewel made an address lasting 15 minutes, but he lacked his usual spirit, and a person high in confidence is authority for the statement that he also had toi the emperor that neither himself nor office unless his majesty was more reserved. The house received his explanation in silence. The conservatives, representing largely the landed nobility, were almost as relentless as the socialists, the radicals and the national-librals.

General Demand of the Well-Informed of the World has always been for a simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; a laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fl. Syrup Co. proceeds on ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine—manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents per bottle. TOO MUCH FOR YANKEE.

"Weave 'av'm, so, in London," said his traveling companion, "but our climate is different to permit of our eatin' it. We burn so much soft coal, you see, the fog gets packed full of soot. The only thing we really can do with it is to cut it up into blocks and use it instead of peat when we want a quick fire."

Cultureta Effected Curse, Cultureta "When my little boy was six weeks old an eruption broke out on his face. I took him to a doctor, but his face kept on getting worse until it got so bad that no one could look at him. His whole face was one crust and must have been very painful. He scratched day and night until his face was raw. Then I took him to all the best specialists in skin diseases but they could not do much for him. The oczema got on his arms and legs and could not get a night's sleep in month. I got a set of Cucurcuma Remedies and he felt relieved the first time used them. I gave the Cucurcuma remedies a good trial and gradually the oczema healed all up. He is now even years old and I think the trouble will never return. Mrs. John G.

JEFFERSON REPORTS ' FROM ' WESTERN ' CAN ADA ARE VERY ENCOURAGING. A correspondent writes the Winn't peg (Man). Free Press: "The Plachner Greek district, (Southern Alberta), the original home of fall wheat, where it has been grown without failure, dry seasons and wet, for about 25 years, is excelling itself this year. The yield and quality are both phenomenal, as has been the weather for its harvesting. Forty bushels is a common yield, and many fields go up to 50, 60 and over, and most of it No. 1 Northern. Even last year, which was less favorable, similar yields were in some cases obtained, but owing to the season the quality was not so good. It is not surprising that the yield are yield from the Old Man's River to the boundary will be 47 or 48 bushels per acre, and mostly No. 1 Northern. One man has just made a net profit from his crop of $19.55 per acre, or less less than the selling price of land. Land here is too cheap at present, when a crop or two will pay for it, and a failure almost unknown. Nor is the district dependent on wheat, all other crops do well, also stock and dairy, and there is a large market at the doors in the mining towns up the Crows Nest Pass, and in British Columbia, for the abundant hay of the cattle. The truck truck, Coal is near and cheap, Jim Hill has an eye on its advantages, and has invested here, and is bringing the Great Northern Railroad soon, when other lines will follow." The wheat, oat and barley crop in other parts of Western Canada show splendid yields and will make the farmers of that country (and many of them are Americans) rich. The Canadian Government Agent for this district advises us that he will be pleased to give information to all who desire it about the new land regulations by which a settler may now secure 100 acres of land, and to stand acres, at $3.00 an acre, and also how to reach these lands into which railways are being extended. It might be interesting to read what is said of that country by the Editor of the Marshall (Minn.) News-Messenger, who made a trip through portions of it in July, 1908. "Passing through more than three thousand miles of Western Canada's agricultural lands, touring the northern and southern farming boots of the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and the Northwest, through the great grain fields, we were made to realize not only the magnificence of the crops, but the magnitude in measures, of the vast territory opening, and to be opened to farming immigration. There are hundreds of thousands of farmers there, and millions of acres under cultivation, but there is room for millions more, and other millions of acreage available. We could see in Western Canada in soil, product, topography or climate, little that is different from the rest of the world, with every point many business men and farmers who went there from this state, it was difficult to realize one was beyond the boundary of the country."
