Dr. W. D. Crum, collector of port at Charleston S. C., resigned last week stating his reason to be that he did not wish to embara the incoming administration. It will be remembered that Dr. Crum was the colored man that Roosevelt appointed at the Charleston port against almost the united opposition of the white people of that part of South Carolina, and old Ben Tillman took the entire South Carolina Congressmen and called upon Mr. Roosevelt demanding that he recall Crum's name and then blated like a steer having no charges except that he was a Negro and the south would not stand for it, President Roosevelt told them in runging words that he would not close the door of hope and opportunity against the Negro and that they would have to stand it while he was president. Dr. Crum was appointed and remained there while he was president. SOME GREAT SPORT. Mr. Walker, the great South African world Champion 100 yards foot racer has signed a championship race to come off in New York, with Mr. the American champion next summer when Mr. Walker will visit America.

TAFT IS NOW PRESIDENT. William Howard Taft was sworn in as president of the United States last week and he is now presiding over the destinies of this great country. With his broad experience; his travels to foreign countries, his judicial poise of mind and the statesmanship he ought to make a more judicious cautious, and a positive ruler than Roosevelt His inaugural address was fine and showed the skill and judicious mind of a real leader, his broad and common sense view of the Negro in relation to his suffrage and his rights ought to be accepted by every intelligent and reasonable person, we publish in another column what he said about the Negro, we agree with him and wish him success this four years. NEGRO MUST SOLVE IT The Colored Men Must Base Their Hope on the Results of Their "I look forward with hope to increasing the already good feeling between the south and the other sections of the country. My chief purpose is not to effect a change in the electoral vote of the southern states. That is a secondary consideration. What I look forward to is an increase in the tolerance of political views of all kinds and their advocacy throughout the south, and the existence of a respectable political opposition in every state; even more than this, to an increased feeling on the part of all the people in the south that this government is their government, and that its officers in their states are their officers. The consideration of this question cannot, however, be complete and full without reference to the Negro race, its progress and its present condition. The thirteenth amendment secured them freedom; the fourteenth amendment due process of law, protection of property and the pursuit of happiness, and the fifteenth amendment attempted to secure the Negro against any deprivation of the privilege to vote, because he was Negro. The thirteenth and fourteenth amendments have been generally enforced and have secured the objects for which they were intended. While the fifteenth amendment has not been generally observed in the past, it ought to be observed, and the tendency of southern legislation today is Encouraging Signs. Superintendent W. O Riddle of of the Des Moines schools in his school statistical report this week says that there are more colored children in the Des Moines public schools than ever before there 396 now enrolled and 233 children of foreign birth of these 400 colored children there 14 in the West High and five in the East High there are seven schools where there are none at all they are North High, Park avenue, Longfellow, Sand Hill, Walnut Hill and Elmwood and that 10th and Center streets is the center of the Negro population. We are glad that the parents are awakening up to their duty and see that your children get a good education especially in Iowa with free text books and compulsory knowledge is power so keep them in school. Woodson Saved the Dau. It seems we colored people of Des Moines were sleeping on our rights for the enemies of the race at least it seems to be a secret scheme among the white Elks through the United States to quietly pass a bill prohibiting two orders of the same kind to take the same name or wear similar pins, buttons, etc., and that the oldest of such orders incorporated shall enjoin any other similar order. Attorney George H. Woodson of Oskaloosa saw the bill sounded the alarm and defeated it in the committee. Then upon request of Woodson & Brown a bill was introduced by Senator Clarkson to prohibit any school or college incorporated in Iowa to draw the color line. It is a shame that such a bill should have to be introduced in Iowa, yet we believe and earnestly hope that it will pass the legislature. JUNKEN THE MURDERER. Last week to our great surprise the daily papers said that dozens and dozens of women went to the County jail to see Juken the self confessed slayer of Miss Clara Rosen of Ottumwa, and carried him flowers and fruit, and they were white women too. We are astonished at such acts of kindness shown to such an inhuman fiend a self confessed murderer. Too often are we colored people criticised for shielding, protecting or aiding our class to escape the punishment of the law and now for hundreds of well dressed and respectable looking women and even some men to go and ask to take flowers and fruit toward the enactment of electoral qualifications which shall square with that amendment. Of course, the more adoption of a constitutional law is only one step in the right direction. It must be fairly and justly enforced as well. In time both will come. Hence it is clear to all that domination of an ignorant, irresponsible element can be prevented by constitutional laws which shall exclude from voting both Negroes and whites not having an education or other qualifications thought to be necessary for a proper electorate. The danger of the control of an ignorant electorate has therefore passed. With this change, the interest which many of the southern white citizens take in the welfare of the Negroes has increased. Negro Must Solve It. The colored men must base their hope on the results of their own industry, self-restraint, thrift and business success, as well as upon the aid and comfort and sympathy which they may receive from their white neighbors of the south. There was a time when northerners who sympathized with the Negro in his necessary struggle for better conditions sought to give to him the suffrage as a protection, and to enforce its exercise against the prevailing sentiment of the south. The movement proved to be a failure. What remains is the fifteenth amendment to the constitution and the right to have statutes of states specifying qualifications for electors subjected to the test of compliance with that amendment. This is a great protection to the Negro. It never will be repealed, and it never eight to be repealed. If it had not been passed, it might be difficult now to adopt it; but with it in our funda- in conundrum to us. We don't want you to encourage this criminal element among our race but take your flowers and fruit to worthy colored men or women or to some struggling church or society that seek to do good strive to honor and approve the good and worthy of our race and we will be contented. FROM O'ER THE SEA. By Staff Correspondent. As you have doubtless read in your daily paper a great South African state has been formed by Boers and Englishmen who have gone to the country. There has just appeared a very excellent article on the New States' relation to the native of South Africa. It seems an excellent article, the sentiment of which could be used in our own United States to a great advantage as a solution of the race problem. The article is by Mrs. Olive Shriner, the wife of a prominent Beer and a writer of distinction, she has recently written in a Cape newspaper, a manifest in which she discusses the relationship between the governing minority of one race in South Africa and the majority consisting of natives of the soil. In the course of this she deliver an impressive warning and make an appeal. Sue say: "I hold this to be the root question in South Africa and as our wisdom in dealing with, so will be our future. "No exact census exists of the population of South Africa, but is roughly calculated that there are about nine millions of inhabitants, eight millions of dark men, and one million of white. "The white race consists mainly of two varieties so mixed European descent, but both largely Teutonic. Our vast dark native population consists largely of Bantus, who were already in South Africa when we came here, of a few expiring yellow varieties of African races, and a small but important number of half-castes, largely the descendants of imported slaves, whose blood was mingled with that of their masters, as is always the case where slavery exists, and a very small body of Asiatics. It is out of this great mass of heterogeneous mass of humans that the South African nation of the future will be built. "The black man is with us to stay Not only does the Bantu increase and flourish greatly, as is natural in his native continent, and under the climatic conditions which are best suited to him, not only does he refuse to die out in contact with our civilization, as the yellow races have largely done, he rather tries to grasp and make it his own; not why can we not exterminate him—because cannot even transport him because we wart him. We want and always more of him to labor in our mines, to build our railers, to work in our fields, to perform our domestic labors and to buy our goods. We desire to import more of him when we can. "They are the makers of our wealth the great basic rock on which our state is found, our laboring class. "We in South Africa are one of the mental law, the policy of southern legislation must and will tend to obey it, and so long as the statutes of the states meet the test of this amendment and are not otherwise in conflict with the constitution and laws of the United States, it is not the disposition or within the province of the federal government to interfere with the regulation by southern states of their domestic affairs. There is in the south a stronger feeling than ever among the intelligent, well-to-do and influential element in favor of the industrial education of the Negro and the encouragement of the race to make themselves useful members of the community. The progress which the Negro has made in the last fifty years from slavery, when statistics are reviewed, is morovile, and it furnishes every reason to hope that in the next twenty-five years a still greater improvement in his condition as a productive member of society, on the farm, and in the shop and in other occupations, may come. No Offices In South. The Negroes are now Americans. Their ancestors came here years ago against their will, and this is their only country and their only flag. They have shown themselves anxious to live for it and to die for it. Encountering the race feeling against them, subjected at times to cruel injustice growing out of it, they may well have our profound sympathy and aid in the struggle they are making. We are charged with the sacred duty of making their path as smooth and easy as we can. Any recognition of their distinguished men, any appointment to office from among their number, is properly taken as an encouragement and an appreciation of first people in the modern world, and under the new moral and material conditions of civilization to be brought face to face with this problem in its autocratic form. On our power to solve it regularly and heroically defends our greatness. If it be possible for us out of our great complex body of humanity, (its parts possibly remalug racially distinct for centuries) to raise up a free, intelligent, harmonious nation, each part acting with and for the benefits of the others, then we shall have played a part as great as that of any nation in the world's record. "In our small permanent and largely South African born Asiatic population, we have a section of people industrious and itetelligent, rich with those staying powers which have made Asiatic people so persistent and often dimention in the past and present. This is the material from which our nation must be shaped, and we the small, and for the moment absolutely dominant white artocrats, on whom the main weight of duty of social reconstruction rests, have reason to be thankful it is what it is. "If by entering on a long and difficult course of strictly just and humane treatment, as between man and man, we can bind our dark races to us through their sense of justice and gratitude if we as a dominant class realize that the true wealth of a nation is the health, happiness, intelligence and content of every man and woman born within its borders, if we do not fail to realize that the true crown of honor on its head and teaches, not uses and crushes, if as the years pass, we can point with pride to our native people as the most enlightened, and the most free, the most devoted to the welfare of its native land of all African people; if our laboring class can in the end be made to compare favorably with that of all other countries, and if for the men of genius or capacity who are born among them there be left open a path to take their share in the higher duties of life and citizenship, their talents expended for the welfare of the community, and not suppressed to become its subterranean and disruptive force, if we can make our states as dear to them, if we can make the matrix in which they find shelter for healthy life and development, as it is to us; then I think the future of South Africa promises greatness and strength. 'But if we fail in this?' If blinded by the gain of the moment, we see nothing in our dark man, but only a tool; if dispossessed entitled of the land for which he now show that rare aptitude for peasant proprietorship, for the lack of which among their masses many great nations are decaying, if we force him permanently in his millions into the compounds and slums of cities, obtaining his labor cheaper but to lose the wealth of five lands could not return to us, if uninstructed in the highest forms of labor without the rights of citizenship, his own social organization broken up without our having aided him to participate in our own, if unbound to us by gratitude and sympathy, and an alien to us in blood and color, we reduce this vast mass to the condition of a great seething, ignorant proletariat, then I would rather draw a veil over the future of this land. 'Are we to spend our national existence with a large dark shadow looming always in the background, a their progress, and this just policy shall be pursued. But it may well admit of doubt whether, in the case of any race, an appointment of one of their number to a local office in a cummunity in which the race feeling is so widespread and accute as to interfere with the ease and facility with which the local government business can be done by the appointee, is of sufficient benefit by way of encouragement to the race to outweigh the recurrence and increase of race feeling which such an appointment is likely to engender. Therefore, the executive, in recognizing the Negro race by appointments must exercise a careful discretion not thereby to do it more harm than good. On the other hand we must be careful not to encourage the mere pretense of race feeling manufactured in the interest of individual political ambition. Personally I have not the slightest race prejudice or feeling, and recognition of its existence only awakens in my breast a deeper sympathy for those who have to bear it or suffer from it, and I question the wisdom of a policy which is likely to increase it. Meantime, if nothing is done to prevent, a betties feeling between the Negroes and the whites in the south will continue to grow, and more and more of the white people will come to realize that the future of the south is to be much benefited by the industrial and intellectual progress of the Negro. The exercise of political franchises by those of his race who are intelligent and well-to-do will be acquised in, and the right to vote will be withheld only from the ignorant and irresponsible of both races. Price Five Cents. and shadow which we fear? shadow whom we learn. "As long as the population of South Africa is united, and conditions of warfare remain what they are, we need fear no foe. But what if we are not need foe no foe. But what if we are not question what. If when, when the day comes, as it must, when hostile feet perhaps not European, gather round our shores, and the vast bulk of our inhabitants should cast eyes of indifference, perhaps of hope, toward them? Having no share in the life of our State, being bound to us by no ties of sympathy, having nothing to lose, might not the stranger even appear in the guide of a deliverer and every bush hide a possible guide, and the bulk of the men and women in our own land whisper, it is business of ours, let them fight it out. "As long as nine-tenths of our community have no permanent sake in the land, and no right or share in our government, can we ever feel safe, can we ever have peace? "If we raise the dark man we shall rise with him, if we kick him under our feet he will hold us by them. "I if we asked what in South Africa is our great need at the present, I shall answer great men to lead us." "What South Africa calls for today is no hero or saint, or impossible fragment of the mind simply for a man with a clear head and a large heart, organically incapable of self-seeking or racial prejudices.

Stolphin Has Bad Night. St. Petersburg, March 11.—Premier Stolyphin, who is suffering from a serious attack of influenza, passed a bad night and his condition today inspires considerable anxiety. Cuban conundrum: What shall we do with our vice-presidents? Does the actress who plays a thinking part only have to "make up" her mind? The voice of a man has been known to carry three miles through a 20-foot trumpet. Does anybody remember the name of the gentleman who became president of Hayti a few weeks ago? It will be possible to forget the Maine, perhaps, after it has been removed from Havana harbor. Mexico plays the stronger hand. She is building trading vessels instead of warships with which to deal with Japan. A Brooklyn girl married a Chinaman to spite her parents, which is one phase of the yellow peril never thought of before. This eventful year is also the 300th anniversary of the invention of the telescope, one of the most farseeing achievements of all time. Great Britain just now is in a state of feverish excitement over its army. If the excitement keeps up some one may be tempted to enlist. Aristocratic hotels in London now offer pedigred oysters to their guests, many of whom long have been acquainted with pedigred lobsters. Man arrested for trying to do up the Canadian customs. As the illustrious Nelson would have put it: "Canada expects every man to pay his duty." Of the appropriation of $800,000 authorized by congress for participation at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition $500,000 will be used in the construction of buildings. Headwear made of straw was already in use among the ancient Greeks, but straw hats, like those we wear, did not come into use in Europe until half a century ago. Caviar is now made in large quantities at Lake Winnipeg from sturgeon roe. It is shipped to Hamburg in kegs and comes back to this country in tins and jars as Russian caviar. Baltimore's contribution to the earthquake sufferers was not the largest in the world, but it was large enough to prove that the people of this city are generous and charitable. Castro, it is decided in Venezuela, is to be tried on the charge of assassination conspiracy. But then Castro is in Europe and the old recipe applies to the occasion: "First catch your hare." How little reliance is to be placed upon memory is further illustrated by the clashing and contradictory descriptions of Lincoln's inauguration by those who were on the spot and saw it all. Whist, mon! It is being told about that better Scotch whisky is made in this country than in Scotland. It may be better, but the amount of good Scotch whisky made anywhere is mighty small. The state superintendent of instruction in Wisconsin says the college girls eat too much candy. The Daily Cardinal of the University of Wisconsin, after investigating, has decided this is true. The girls deny it. A physician in Indiana died from an operation which he voluntarily underwent, a new certain theory. It is true this way of testing theories is more or less conclusive; but the trouble is that when decided in the negative, it is as conclusive for the theorist as for the theory. The secretary of commerce and labor has decided that a trained nurse is not a laborer. But when one considers some of the patients who have to be nursed, even the beneficiaries of this decision will agree with the contention that labor is about the right term for the work involved. A man in one state who stole three chickens was sentenced to a year in prison. A man in another state who choked his baby to death because it's crying annoyed him, got two years. And so justice proceeds on its even stride and never seems to notice that in all its pictures its scales are significantly lopsided. President Roosevelt and the nine members of his cabinet will take with them the chairs they have occupied at cabinet meetings when the president retires from office on March 4. They will replace them at their own expense. This, Secretary Loeb says, has been the custom of former presidents and cabinet members.

The good life is the one that is great with goodness, enriched with every resource, daily growing, becoming more, adopting grace and finding such completion in the attempt to awaken dormant lives, to lift lagging lives, and to lead its follows into the life that is life indeed. The late Bishop Potter told a fresh young preacher not to confuse perspiration with inspiration. Some superbented reformers can have a guarantee that the advice would fit. Well, why shouldn't the life insurance companies take the advice of Prof. Irving Fisher of Yale and enter upon an active campaign of education to improve hygienic conditions throughout the country? It would be a great step, but it would sufficiently to make it a profitable proposition. Iowa State News Events of Recent Occurrence Throughout the Commonwealth Gildden Route Through Iowa.

It, too, was found that this route has eliminated all the heavy grades of the road that the train has thus beasted in Minneapolis or the Sloux route.

OIL TRUST IS VICTOR WING $29,240,000 CASE IN FEDERAL COURT. JURY IS TOLD TO ACQUIT Judge Anderson Decides Government Has Not Proved Charges and Throws Suit Out of Court—May Be Appealed. Chicago—As forasted Tuesday, the famous Standard Oil rebating cases in which Judge Landis imposed a fine of $2,240,000 have been thrown out of court. Judge A. B. Anderson, before whom they came for retrial, after the United States court of appeals had reversed the Landis fine, Wednesday afternoon held that the government had not proved the charges made in the indictment and, following a long argument by District Attorney Sims, ordered the jury to return a verdict of not guilty. May Continue the Flight. From Washington comes the report that an appeal to the United States circuit court of appeals will be taken from Judge Anderson's decision. This would take the case back to the same court that reversed the Landis decision in an opinion administering a scathing rebuke to the judge. That Attorney General Wickersham will make every effort to get the case before the United States supreme court for final decision is believed in the capital. District Attorney Sims has not announced what action he will take. He is waiting on instructions from Washington. The decision rendered by Judge Anderson means that all but two of the pending indictments against the Standard Company are void, and will be abandoned by the government. The other affected cases involving shipments of 1,918 carloads of oil from Whiting, Ind., to Evansville, Ind., by way of Dolton Junction, Ill., over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad. Six Cases Affected. The six cases that are affected involve the indictments for shipments over the Chicago & Alton railroad and the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy railway, and the indictments, too, that have to do with the storage charges alleged to have been allowed illegally to the Standard Oil Company by the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern railroad. It was Judge Landis who directed the case to be taken before Judge Anderson when Judge Betha declined to hear it after the supreme court of the United States decided to allow the reversal of Judge Landis' decision by the United States circuit court of appeals to stand undisturbed. Beginning of the Prosecution. The big Standard Oil prosecution had its beginning August 27, 1906. On that date ten indictments were returned by a federal railway, charging the Standard O company of Indiana with accepting concessions from railways in shipments to the railroad and connecting roads to two of these, involving shipments over the Chicago & Eastern Illinois railroad and connecting roads to Grand Junction, Tenn., were quashed shortly after they had been returned. The eight remaining bills were demurred to, but the demurrers were overruled. Appeal to Be Taken. Washington. — The understanding here is that an appeal will lie from Judge Anderson's court to the circuit court of appeals. Also an appeal will lie from the chairperson of appeal to the court of the United States in the event that the decision in the former tribunal should be against the company. In fact, that is a best reason for stating that the whole issue will come before the supreme court of the United States very soon through an unexpected and novel move by the department of justice.

Washington—No verdict was rendered by the coroner's jury which is investigating the death of Chicago artist, whose body was found on Sunday morning with a deep cut in the nock, in a field about 500 yards from the railroad station at Alexandria, Va.

Three special trains arrived from neighboring towns, bringing relief workers, physicians and nurses. In the Catholic church doctors and nurses are caring for the injured. The citizens of Helena have offered the use of their homes for the destitute. MILITIA TO PROTECT NEGRO. Governor of Iowa says Junken Must Have Proper Trial.

"My baby was sitting beside the fender and we were preparing the breakfast when the frying-pan full of boiling grease was upset and it went all over one side of her face and head. Some one wiped the scald with a towel, took the entire skin off. We took her to a doctor. He tended her a week and gave me some stuff to put on. But it all deserved and I wanted to help her for life.

CONGENIAL WORK And Strength to Perform It. A person in good health is likely to have a genial disposition, ambition, and enjoy work. On the other hand, if the digestive organs have been upset by wrong food, work becomes drudgery. "Until recently," writes a Washington girl, "I was a railroad stenographer, which means full work every day." "Like many other girls alone in a large city, I lived at a boarding house. For breakfast it was mush, greasy meat, soggy cakes, black coffee, etc. "After a few months of this diet I used to feel sleepy and heavy in the mornings. My work seemed a terrible effort, and I thought the work was to blame—too ardous. "At home I had heard my father speak of a young fellow who went long distances in the cold on Grape Nuts and cream and nothing more for breakfast. "I concluded if it would tide him over morning's heavy work, it might help me so on heavy home work. I night I bought a package and next morning I had Grape-Nuts and milk for breakfast." "I stuck to Grape-Nuts, and in less than two weeks I noticed improvement. I can't just tell how well I felt, but I remember I used to walk the 12 blocks to business and know how good it was simply to live. You would walk, did you ever feel the delight of an emotional work and the strength to perform it? That's how I felt. I truly believe there's life and vigor in every grain of Grape-Nuts."

Molnes—With only nine opposing votes the Whipple bill, providing for a single board of educational control to handle the affairs of the three state educational institutions, passed the senate after a whole day had been spent in discussing it. The bill was opposed by Senator De Wolf, Senator Moon, Senator an aman, Senator an aban, President H. H. Searley of the state normal school at Cedar Falls sat with Senator De Wolf throughout the debate, and Senator Whipple referred often in his argument to the activity of the heads of the three state schools in their opposition to the bill The bill as passed by the senate provides for a board of education for the three state institutions, comprising nine members, with an additional finance committee consisting of three men, one residing at Ames, one at Iowa City and one at Cedar Falls. This board shall assume the duties of the board of trustees of the head of regents of the state university, the board of trustees of the agricultural school and the board of trustees of the state normal school. Among the objects of the bill are the prevention of duplication in the courses of study, decreasing the number of members of the educational boards from thirty-two to twelve, and bringing about better business management. Prohibition Endorsed. Prohibition as a part of the state constitution was endorsed by the house of the Iowa legislature, after a two days' fight. With a vote of 68 years and 37 nays the house endorsed the Meredith resolution for an amendment to the constitution providing that no ale, wine or beer shall be made or sold in the state of Iowa as a beverage. The house fought desperately for and against the drastic resolution which is part of the close of the thirty years' war for prohibition in the state. Various amendments were offered to weaken, strengthen and kill it, but the resolution resisted all attacks and also the one made to send it back to committee where it would have been safely imprisoned for the remainder of the session. Every inch of space on the floor and in the galleries was crowded and the spectators exceeded those at any time except inaugurations. There was the wildest demonstrations in years when the amendment was declared to have passed. Meredith Expected to Pass. A motion to refer the Meredith resolution to the house judiciary committee was lost by a vote of 57 to 42, after the most intensely interesting debate of the session. Interest has already shifted from the house to the senate, where those who fear another period of turmoil with the prohibition question uppermost are confident the resolution will be killed. Representative Marston made the motion to refer, which was supported with arguments by Representative Harding. Mr. Harding's support failed to materialize and he was left to struggle against the strong resumption forces almost alone. At one point in the discussion Representative Sullivan came to his aid. Strong speeches against burying the resolution in the judiciary committee were made by Meredith, Inman, Elliott, Johnson and Bone. Son Forced to Pay for Parents' Keep. Son Forced to Pay for Parents' Keep Frank Hollis of Hamilton county, who refused to pay for the support of his aged parents in the porchouse, where they were for 140 weeks, was ordered to foot the bill by the supreme court in a decision handed down on the appeal taken from the decision of Chief Justice W. D. Evan, where they were on the bench in the Elevandii judicial district. The county supported the aged peop- ple, but sued the two sons for $980, which was awarded. It was from this the son appealed. Chief Justice Evan's decision was declared by the supreme court to be without any error, at a session in which the chief justice did not participate. Labels on Lard Are Not Needed. The supreme court holds that a dealer need not put a separate label on every small package of lard sold over the counter, if the barrel from which the product was taken was properly labeled. The court so decided in a Polk county case in which the state appealed. Dodds Bill Indored. Representative Dodds' bill to permit the creation of road improvement districts for the building of permanent crushed rock or gravel highways, was indorsed by the house committee on roads, and will be reported for passage. It provides for a commission to appraise benefits and assess 75 per cent of the cost of permanent roads to property owners within the district. The remaining twenty-five per cent is to be paid from the county road fund, which may be recruited from a 2-mill levy. To Adorn State Farms. Half acre groves of beautiful trees will adorn every forty acre tract of public land in Iowa if a bill to be introduced by Chairman Anderson of the house committee on forests is passed by the legislature. It requires that the executive council, the board of control, the regents and the board of directors, the boards of supervisors in each county shall plant at least one-half acre of forest trees to every forty acres of land owned by the state or Governor Carroll will not order a special election in the Seventh district to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Senator W. D. Jamieson, who became congressman from the Eighth district March 4. He has had the matter up with Attorney General Byers, who gives it as his opinion that the statute is not mandatory. Governor Carroll has taken the matter up by correspondence and personal interviews with leading politicians in the district and there appears to be an overwhelming opinion that an election should not be called. Assuming that the legislature will not adjourn until the second week in April, it is possible or the person elected to serve, ten days or two weeks, the law providing that at least ten days' notice shall be given before the holding of the election. The expense would perhaps amount to something like $2,000 and in view of the short time that the person elected would have to serve it is deemed advisable not to call the special election. "Comma" BILL Passed. After a delay of two weeks because of a comma, the senate passed the Peterson bill allowing the fathers of former soldiers, sailors and marines admittance to the state soldiers' home at Marshalltown. This bill was passed by the senate a few weeks ago, but the grammatical construction didn't represent Carl Johnson. He made an amendment, inserting a comma. Senator Peterson objected to the amendment and the senate refused to concur. The house would not back down and a conference committee consisting of three members of each Senator Peterson, as chairman of the conference committee, submitted the report, which inserted the comma and made another little grammatical change. The senate adopted the amendment and now the bill goes to the house for its concurrence. New Road Bill Passed. Computers use of the King road drag is the object of two bills which were prepared by the highways committees of the Iowa house and senate. The house bill is not as definite in its provisions as is the senate bill, and the latter is regarded as having a chance of passing. The senate bill is a combination of the best points in the bill introduced by Senators Chapman, Bruce and Nichols. It provides that township trustees must compel the use of the King drag on the country roads and shall have the authority to contract with farmers for the work, paying fifty cents per mile for dragging. All counties must travel is general must be dragged the bill, and city councils are compelled to drag the road leading into the cities. Library Funds Out. Instead of an increase of $6,000 in the appropriation for the travelling library work of the state library department, the senate appropriations committee agreed to recommend an increase of $2,380, which will make a total appropriation of $10,000 for the work. The necessity of cutting down on the appropriation bills in general prompted the action of the committee and although the friends of the library are somewhat disappointed in failing to receive all they wanted, they nevertheless glad that an increase in the allocation of the library department is to be made, and the expect to be able to show an increase in the efficiency of the traveling library that will in two years go far toward bringing about a further in crease. Hits Discrimination. Striking at the big creamery companies, elevator concerns and buyers of poultry, who are accused of having put out of business hundreds of farmers' co-operative concerns during the last few years, the Coisson anti-discrimination bill was passed by the senate by a vote of 32 to 6. Opposition to the measure was offered by Senator Adams, who declared that such a law was useless and tended to a dangerous system of paternalism which is bad for the general welfare of the state. Senator Smith of Mitchell sided with Senator Adams against the bill, but after a thorough discussion of the measure and the addition of a few amendments to make the intent more clear, it received a majority vote. Blow Aimed at Trust By House. Anti-trust legislation of the most radical type is sought in the Kull bill radical化 into the house, in which corporations or private dealing in lumber are restrained from combining to create a scale of prices. The bill makes all combinations of this sort of felony, either for one or two men in a town to combine, for larger districts. School Legislation Gets Death Blow. Efforts by the special state educational commission and State Superintendent Riggs to improve the rural schools of Iowa by legislation at this session of the legislature have resulted in unqualified and absolute penalties and unwarrisome plan for rural school improvement agreed upon by their subcommittee of eight, a plan which was far less radical and revolutionary than the commission bill, the schools committee of the death knell of any and all school legislation at this session. The Whipple bill was indorsed in the appropriations committee of the senate and will pass the senate with few dissenting votes. Twice before a vote was passed the senate or by to be killed the house of the year there is every indication that the measure will be enacted into law. Representative Lee's plan to distribute evenly the 5 per cent of votes that goes to named printed first on primary ballots was voted for passage by the house committee on elections. The bill was indorsed by the committee and is likely to become a law. PUTNAM FADELESS DYES Colors more brighten and lesser colors than any other dye. Use 100 package colors all over.

Hitchter In Use For Over Thirty Years CASTORIA THE TRUSTEE COMPANY, Seattle, Wash. Well Defined by the Father of Bir Walter Scott. Among the treasures which adorned the "den" of Sir Walter Scott was a shina sancer—the memorial according to the author of "Edinburgh Under Walter Scott," of a staircase in the domena of Scott's house. One autumn Mr. Scott, Sr. had a client who came regularly every evening at a certain hour to the house, and remained in his private room usually long after the family had gone to bed. The little mystery of the unknown visitor existed Mr. Scott's curiosity, and her husband's vague statements increased it. One night, therefore, although she knew it was against her husband's desire, she entered the room with a salver in her hand, and offered the gentleman "a dish of tea," as it used to be called in eighteenth century parlance. Mr. Scott very cold refused it, but the stranger bowed and accepted a cup. Presently he took the leave. Then Mr. Scott came out on the empty cup he threw at his wife. It was astonished at first, but not when she heard the explanation. "I may admit into my house, on business, persons wholly unworthy to be treated as guests of my wife. Neither lip of me nor mime comes after Mr. Murray, or Broughton's." The client who had called was none other than the traitor, Secretary Murray, who bought off his life and fortune by giving evidence against his gallant Jacobite associates—Dunce Advertiser. SOME SMALL ENGLISH PARISHES Dozen Inhabitants in One; In Another Only Two Houses. Probably few people know that this country contains a number of parishes so small that their population can be housed under one or two roofs. For instance, Upper Elden, near Stockbridge, consists of two houses, which with an eleventh century church and a tiny "God's Acre" in the middle of a farmyard adjoining one of the dwellings, comprise the whole parish. Not much larger is the population of Lullington, five miles from Eastbourne. Small as its church is—the interior dimensions are only 16 feet square—it is quite large enough for the inhabitants. In Grove near Lighton Buzard, there are only about a dozen inhabitants, the parish containing a modern farmhouse, two cottages and a tiny church. At Rhyb, in Flintshire, while there are only three adult inhabitants, the village contains five cottages and one ship. Until recently there were two licensed houses, one of which still remains—Kit-Bits. Store Carries Old Hotel Name. Away up in Harlem is a sign which reads: "The Old Aster House Store." In reply to an inquiry the proprietor said: "The business was established in the vicinity of the old Aster house when the latter was the big hotel of New York. Later on it moved up to Fourth street and carried the name of the old hotel with it. Some years after it moved up to Fort-second street and the name went with it. Then it jumped all the way to Harlem and, as the name had become one of the fixtures of the business, it was maintained. The business now is in the hands of the third generation of the family that established it. Just a bit of sentiment."—New York Press. Pleasant Situation Clintonville, this county, had several thrills of nervous apprehension on Tuesday of last week. A driver in the employ of a torpedo firm started off with a load of 40 quairs of nitroglycerine, and when a short distance from the barn stopped, got off his wagon and started an argument with the bobber and started to run, but had not gone far until the front wheel of the wagon struck an iron support of a porch at a street, corner and the horses stripped themselves from the harness, leaving the wagon, with its load of condensed destruction, standing.—Oil City Derrick. Waterproof Coats of Grass. In the tropics of Mexico, where torrential rains fall as part of each year, raincoats are a very necessary part of man's apparel. Owing to the intense heat which prevails in the summer season, the ordinary rubber raincoat cannot be worn. It is made from native grasses, and is worn by the men of the middle and upper classes. The grasses are woven close together and it is impossible for the rain to be beat through them, no matter how hard the storm may be some of these coats are made with a hood which protects the head as well as the body. Will Found in a Hat. Probate has been granted of the will of a peddler who left an estate valued at £11,937. He was Mr. Haris Norman, a Polish Jew, of Mill road, Cambridge. The document was found in his silk hat after his death. It was dated January 15, 1903, and by it the left the whole of his property equally between Addenbrookes's hospital, Cambridge, and the London Jew ash synagogue for the relief of poor and needy Jews—London Evening Standard. "He has achieved success: who has lived long, laughed often, and loved much; who has gained the trust, of pure women, the respect of intelligent men, and the love of little children; who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who has left the world better than he found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty nor failed to express it; who has always looked for the heat in others and given the best he had; whose life was an inspiration; whose memory a benediction?" -Bessie A.

When there is no fever and no swelling as 'a muscular and obcuneous rheumatism', Chamberlain's Linimt will accomplish more than any internal treatment. For sale by all draggists. MAINE GHOST ON HORSEBACK Peculiar Spook That Has Struck Ten tor to farmer Folk. The horseback riding ghost is the very latest variety that has appeared in Bowdownham, and he is a particular spirit, making visitations only at certain times. The hunter's ghost, they call him, and the big man on the big white horse who comes galloping down the Lisbon road on the full o' the moon right up to the side door of Sunny Crest farm strikes terror to the heart of the farmer folk as he raps smartly with his riding whip on the panels of the door. Whenever one appears in answer to the knock the ghost, so they tell the story, wheels round and disappears at a gallop, turning into the old woods road much used in revolutionary times by the soldiers of that storm period. They take the old Cap'n, they call him, connecting this horseback riding spook with a certain officer of unsavory fame who once haunted the district of Malue. It is on the hunters' moon when the g鬼 rides abreast and nervous people on the Lisbon road are much disturbed by this galloping horseman—Lewiston Journal. A FEW OF LIFE'S PARADOXES. All True, Though at First They Seem to Read Rather Odd. Peace we secure by armaments, liberty by laws and constitutions, simplicity and naturalness are the consummate result of artificial breeding and training; health, strength and wealth are increased only by lavish use, expense and wear. Our mistrust of mistrust engenders our commercial system of credit; our tolerance of revolutionary utterances is the only way of lessening their danger; our charity has to say no to beggars in order not to defeat its own desires; the true epicurean has to observe great sobriety; the way to certainty lies through radical doubt; virtue signifies not innocence but the knowledge of sin and its overcoming. The ethical and religious life are full of contradictions held in solution. You hate your enemy?—well, forgive him, and thereby heap coals of fire on his head; to realize yourself, renounce yourself; to save your soul, first lose it; in short, die to live. —Prof. William James, in Hibbert Journal. Good Cough Medicine for Children The season for coughs and colds is now at home and too much care cannot be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Ripley, W. Va., says: "I have never used anything than Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for my children, and it has always given good satisfaction." This remedy contains no opium or other narcotic and may be given as confidently to a child as to an adult. For sale by all druggists. ORIGINAL NOTICE.

I also received your letter from Pueblo, and thank you very much for interest shown.

Among the treasures which adored the "den" of Sir Walter Scott was a shina sancer—the memorial according to the author of "Edinburgh Under Sir Walter Scott," of a striking incident in the domestic life of Scott's father and mother. One autumn Mr. Scott, Sr. had a client who came regularly every evening at a certain hour to the house, and remained in the kitchen room usually long after the family had to be used. The mystery of the unknown visitor exerted Mr. Scott's curiosity, and her husband's vague statements increased. One night, therefore, although she knew it was against her husband's desire, she entered the room with a salver in her hand, and offered the gentleman "a dish of tea," as it used to be called in eighteenth century parlance. Mr. Scott very cold refused it, but the stranger bowed and accepted a cup. Presently he took his leave. Then Mr. Scott seized the empty cup and threw it out on the pavement. His wife was astonished at first, but not when she heard the call from the gentleman's house, on business, perhaps wholly unworthy to be treated as guests of my wife. Neither lip of me nor mine comes after Mr. Murray, or Broughton's." The client who had called was none other than the traitor, Secretary Murray, who bought off his life and fortune by giving evidence against his gallant Jacobite associates.—Duned Advertiser. SOME SMALL ENGLISH PARISHES Ozen inhabitants in One; in Another Only Two Houses. Probably few people know that this country contains a number of parishes so small that their population can be housed under one or two rooftops. For instance, Upper Elden, near Stockbridge, consists of two houses, which with an eleventh century church and a tiny "God's Acre" in the middle of a farmyard adjoining one of the dwellings, comprise the whole parish. Not much larger is the population of Lullington, five miles from Eastbourne. Small as its church is—the interior dimensions are only 16 feet square—it is quite large enough for the inhabitants. Grove near Lighton Buxard, there are only about a dozen inhabitants, the parish containing a modern farmhouse, two cottages and a tiny church. At Rhyb, in Flintshire, while there are only three adult inhabitants, the village contains five cottages and one ship. Until recently there were two licensed houses, one of which still remains—Tit-Bits. Store Carries Old Hotel Name. Away up in Harlem is a sign which reads: "The Old Astor House Store." In reply to an inquiry the proprietor said: "The business was established in the vicinity of the old Astor house when the latter was the big hotel of New York. Later on it moved up to Fourteenth street and carried the name of the old hotel with it. Some years after it moved up to Forty-second street and the name went with it. Then it jumped all the way to Harlem and, as the name had become one of the fixtures of the business, it was maintained. The business now is in the hands of the third generation of the family that established it. Just a bit of sentiment."—New York Press. Pleasant Situation Clintonville, this county, had several thrills of nervous apprehension on Tuesday of last week. A driver in the employ of a torpedo firm started off with a load of 40 quaris of nitroglycerine, and when a short distance from the barn stopped, got off his wagon and started an argument with a bystander the team became frightened and started to run, not gone far until the front wheel of the wagon struck an iron support of a porch at a street, corner and the horses stripped themselves from the harness, leaving the wagon, with its load of condensed destruction, standing. -Oil City Derrick.

Owing to the intense heat which prevails in the summer season, the ordinary rubber raincoat cannot be worn. A rainproof coat is made from native grasses, and is worn by the men of the middle and upper classes.

Some of these coats are made with a hood which protects the head as well as the body. Will Found in a Hat. Probate has been granted of the will of a peddler who left an estate valued at £11,937.

Pocuillar Spook That Has Struck Ten- ror to Ror Folk. The horseback riding ghost in the very latest variety that has appeared in Bowdoinham, and he is a partic- lar spirit, making visitations only at certain times. The hunter's ghost, they call him, and the big man on the big white horse who comes galloping down the Lisbon road on the full o' the moon right up to the side door of Sunny Crest farm strikes terror to the heart of the farmer folk as he raps smartly with his riding whip on the panels of the door. Whenever one appears in answer to the knock the ghost, so disappears at a gallop, turning into the old woods road much used in revolutionary times by the soldiers of that stormy period. Ghost of the old Cap'n, they call him, connecting this horseback ride spook with a certain officer of unsavory fame who once haunted the district of Maine. It is on the hunters' moon when the ghost rides abroads and nervous people on the Lisbon road are much disturbed by this galloping horseman—Lewiston Journal. A FEW OF LIFE'S PARADOXES All True, Though at First They Seem to Read Rather Odd. Peace we secure by armaments, liberty by laws and constitutions, simplicity and naturalness are the consumate result of artificial breeding and training; health, strength and wealth are increased only by invail use, expense and wear. Our mistrust of mistrust engenders our commemoration and training; our revolutionary utterances is the only way of lessening their danger; our charity has to say no to beggars in order not to defeat its own desires; the true epicurean has to observe great sobriety; the way to certain lies through radical doubt; virtue signifies not innocence but the knowledge of sin and its overcoming. The ethical and religious life are full of contradictions held in solution. You hate your enemy?—well, forgive him, and thereby heap coal on your soul; you refuse self, self renounce yourself; to save your soul, first lose it; in short die to live. —Prof. William James, in Hilbert Journal. Good Cough Medicine for Children. The season for coughs and colds is now at home and too much care cannot be used to protect the children. A child is much more likely to contract diphtheria or scarlet fever when he has a cold. The quicker you cure his cold the less the risk. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is the sole reliance of many mothers, and few of those who have tried it are willing to use any other. Mrs. F. F. Starcher, of Ripley, W.

LIGHT RUNNING NEWHOME If you want either a Vibrating Shuttle, Rotary Shuttle Gearer, or Handheld Stick Fewing Machine write to THE NUNS When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a hair was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success. 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 Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that the name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs. A. M. POPE.
