At present we have only four colored chaplains of the United States and they are all in the Philippine Islands, and two recently retired by virtue of having reached the age of retirement they are Lieutenant Col. Allenworth, of Los Angeles, Cal., and Capt. Theophilus Stewart of Wilberforce, O. The present chaplains are Major Wm. T. Anderson, 10th., cavalry, Captain G. W. Proeau, 9th., cavalry; 1st., Lieut. W E Gladden, 24th Infantry and 1st., Lieut. Oscar J. W. Scott, 25th Infantry. First Negro Federal Judge Upon the Hon. Robert H. Terrell, one of the judges of the new Municipal Court of the District of Columbia, has fallen the distinction of being the first colored man ever appointed to the position of Federal judge. Judge Terrell was born in Virginia in 1857. After the Civil War his father moved to Washington, where the son attended public schools then just established for colored children. Later he went to Massachusetts and worked his way through other institutions of learning. He was graduated from Harvard in the class of 1884 with the degree A. B., Cum Laude, being the first man of his race to attain this distinction, and he was one of the commencement speakers. Subsequently, while a teacher in and principal of, a high school in Washington, he studied law in the Howard University Law School, graduating with first honors. He was in due time admitted to the bar of the District of Columbia Courts and to the bar of the U. S. Supreme Court. He served for four years in the Treasury Department as a division chief and later practiced law as a partner of John R. Lynch, formerly a member of Congres from Mississippi. In 1902 he was appointed by President Roosevelt Justice of the Civil Magistrate's Court of the District of Columbia, and was appointed in 1906. When Congress created the Municipal Court for the District of Columbia, Justice Terrell was made one of the six judges of this body. Judge Terrell's wife is Mary Church Terrell, widely known as the leading clubwoman of her race. —Leslie's Weekly. WASHINGTON. IOWA. NOTES. March 30: —Washington was a 'a desolate town last Sunday as quite a number attended the dedication of the A. M. e church at Fairfield. Those who attended: Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Hall and family, Mrs. Jas. Redd and daughter, Marie, Mrs. Mary Motts and daughters, Nora and Hellen, Mrs. G. W. Black, Mrs. Sarah Davis, G. W. and Theodore Turner, Mrs. A. G. Clark of Okaloosa, Isaac Hall and the Stovall boys. It was unfortunate for Mrs. Stovall that she got left. The Rev. Stovall is to be commended and complimented for his efforts in the work he has accomplished during his short pastorate at Fairfield. None but a man of of such good Christian character and sterling qualities as the Rev. Stovall possesses could have done so well, and we hear nothing but words of praise for the services of last Sunday. Bishop Shaffer of this Conference preached the dedicatory sermon at 3 p.m. to a large and appreciative audience. Bishop Shaffer lectured here Monday night in the M. E. church to a large audience on the subject "Voices of the Hour," which was much enjoyed by those who heard it. While in the city the Bishop was the guest of Mr. and Lewis Wallace. Miss Nora Motta made a flying trip to Moline and Rock Island last week. Rev. Stovall went to Fairfield Tuesday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Williams visited at the N. L. Black home last Thursday night. Mrs. A. G. Clark of Oskaloosa is the guest of her sister, Mrs. Jas. Redd this week. Rev. Stovall delivered a very interesting temperance talk to the ladies of the W. C. T. U. at the First U. P. church last Wednesday afternoon on the subject, "The Women can do it." Mrs. Rev. Phillips is considered in a dangerous condition at this writing with little hopes of her recovery. The Chautauqua club held its yearly banquet Thursday evening at the home of Mrs. Jas. Redd. A very interesting program was carried out. Samuel Hall went to Fairfield Sunday to attend the dedication and is visiting his daughter, Mrs. Henry Sissile. Mrs. N. L. Black is home from the hospital at Iowa City and a visit at Muscatine somewhat improved. OBITUARY. A Good Woman Gone. Mrs. Lillie Sturgis was born December 25th, 1858, at Eufaula, Ala., and departed this life March 24th, 1909 at the age of fifty-two years three months and twenty-days. She embraced religion in her youth and connected with the Baptist church to which she was ever faithful and a devoted member. She was married February 13th, 1878 and was cheerful and devoted companion, and a loving and indulgent mother. Her every care was for her church and family. They were her only jewels. On leaving the place of her birth and childhood July 1893, she joined her husband in Yankton, So. D., who had preceded her, and was with him, they were received into the church of their choice, where she was faithful and to every charge. Remaining in this city for seven years with still unshaken faith in God, she removed with her family to this city where she spent her last days in the boom of her relatives and the company of a ambling friends. Finding here no church of her choice of her race, she cast her lot with the First Baptist church, and was a loyal contributor to its spiritual and temporal demands. To this church she remained a member until 1898, when at the organization of this Mt. Zion church, she became one of its members and until the Father called her labors of love to rest, she remained one of its brightest jewels. For three years she suffered much agony, the pangs of the fatal malady that brought her demise. She was a patient sufferer, waiting waiting with resignation and fortitude the change that to her was short duration and in invitable in consequence. She was in constant happy thought that at any moment she would be ushered in the blissful presence of the God, whom she so long delighted to serve. She leaves to mourn her loss a careful and devoted christian husband, and four children, though as yet aiens from her God, her prayers with that of others in their behalf will serve the end, is the continued prayer of their salvation. BERT O. CLARK. Last week we published the death of young Bert O. Clark, who formerly lived with his parents Rev. C. A. Clark pastor of the A. M. E. church, this young man, an ideal young man, hope of our race and destined to become cultured, refined and pure disposition. The Editor of the Bystander has known this family for many years and regarded these children as exemplary young people. Below we publish a part of what the Durango Evening Herald told me, "A fine compliment as can be paid, to a man there." There are many in Durango who feel that with the passing of Bert O. Clark, the railway mall clerk on the Silverton branch, they have lost a friend. Illness travels fast and most people knew yesterday that Mr. Clark had taken his last run, had passed beyond the terminus we call death into the unknown land wither all must journey some day—soon or late. The end came painlessly. Our friend had suffered with consumption for many years and an Feb. 27th while about to leave the train at the Durango depot, had a severe hemorrhage. He apparently recovered so that on last Tuesday he was out of doors for a short time. He took a slight cold from this with the result that on Tuesday he was in a dying condition, but rallied and late Saturday night he felt better and was apparently stronger than at any time during his illness. About midnight, after sitting up in bed for a little while he asked to lie down. Just after his request was compiled with he began to beathe fainter and fainter and in a few minutes all was over. For some time Mr. Clark had made his home with Mrs. Washington at 848 Second avenue. She was untiring in her efforts for his comfort and was with him when he died. Though none of his own people were here, his last hours were made as easy as possible by these kind friends who loved the young man as if he were their own. Mr. Clark did not wish to his parents who live in Chicago, to be summoned as he did not think it necessary, but Saturday morning as he was suffering so much, Mrs. Washington notified his brother in Denver, without the sick man's knowledge. His brother arrived last night. His brother said this morning that it was like Bert to refuse to have his mother notified of his illness. All his life he had tried to save her from anxiety and he practiced this unselfishness to the end. The sympathy of the community goes out to the mother and father who have lost such a son and to the brothers and sisters, who have been bereft of such a brother. To those who do not realize how powerful the influence of good is, even when expressed in so quiet and so retiring a manner, it may be a matter of surprise the death of a railway mail clerk, a colored man, should occasion such widespread regret. We find that everybody liked, and many loved this gentle manned-man. His associates on the train and in the post office say he was inviolate polite, thoughtful and unassuming. He did his own work perfectly and many times did that others left undone, without complaint or comment. He never failed to offer his services when there was a rush of work, he was always ready to help others who needed it without stopping to consider whether he was paid so doing. Some people when they do a favor announce it with a blare of trumpets. So true a gentleman as Bert Chk would never stoop to any such methods. He never presumed even to take the credit due him, he did whatever his hand found to do with all his might that was all. "Ah, but he was white!" a man said yesterday, one who has known him intimately in his work, and so sav they all. We do not think we could pay the dead man any higher compliment. For in that statement an individual life that has made for righteousness has trimmed over the prejudice of a race. This man so lived that his fellows could see behind the veil of flesh the beauty of the spirit and could recognize the whiteness of his soul as it in the eyes of his God. While we do not know that he expected the summons, we are sure no one was better fitted to go from strength, h to strength, through the door we call death, to that city where, "There is no sorrow nor sighing, Nor any tears there, nor any dying." But the Redeemer is the Light thereof. FORT MADISON NOTES. Rev. Brown of Mt Pleasant who recently pastored here delivered a sermon at the A. M. E. church Tuesday evening.

Beet Treatment for Colds "Most ordinary colds will yield to the simplest treatment," says the Chicago Tribune, "moderative laxatives, hot foot baths, a free preparation and an avoidance of exposure to cold and wet after treatment." While this treatment is simple, it requires considerable trouble, and the one adoptable must remain in doors for a day or two, or a fresh cold is sure to be contracted, and in many instances pneumonia follows. Is it not better to pin your faith to an old reliable preparation like Chamberlain's Cough Bemody, that is famous for its cure of colds and can always be depended upon? For sale by all druggists.

NEW YORK CITY 20 different write { Thompson's Eye Water SENATORS VOTE TO BLEE THE CLARKSON RESOLUTION. Mrs. Edworthy Declares Suffrighte Will Complicate Constitutional Convention. Des Moines—By laying on the table the resolution introduced by Senator Clarkson requiring the committee on constitutional amendments to report upon the Meredith prohibitory resolution, the Iowa senate administered the second defeat to the prohibition forces. The motion was made by Senator Saunders, and the vote, 27 to 13, showed a slight gain for the amendment, decided less to the prohibitionists. The Proudfoot motion to recall the measure from the committee, which was 26 to 21. After this action was taken Senator DeArmand offered a resolution providing that whereas the time for adjournment had been fixed, the senate should not consider on the floor any measure not having a favorable report from the committee to which it is referred. The adoption of this will prevent the taking up of the time of the senate with any measure which cannot secure approval of a committee. Budget of a MILLION. The budget which the legislature will be asked to pass within a very few days will total $1,460,000 in round numbers, so chairman C. R. Moore of the house appropriations committee estimates. This is within $40,000 of the amount of funds at the disposal of the committee which have in charge the disbursement of the state money. Chairman Moore explained that the committee would beury so as to keep the ship of state from going on the rocks during the period from July to October, when there are no taxes coming in. The house appropriations committee has but three little bills left, and these, while of little importance, will be recommended for indefinite postponement. The senate appropriations committee is taking similar actions with appropriations bill. In short, both committees have gone the limit, and it is a most worthy cause which will be recognized with an appropriation. Board is Cleared. In the house committee on suppression of intemperance the board has practically been cleared and everything recommended for passage. Among the bills sent out with approval are the measure requiring a new petition of consent every two years, the Moon bill limiting the number of saloons to one for every 800 persons in cities of the first class and the substitute for the Van Law bill providing that none except a qualified elector can own or operate a saloon and attaching more regulations. To Scrutinize Printing Bills. Representative Judge Crozier of Marian county is convinced that more printed matter is being ground out by the state of Iowa is necessary. He has introduced a resolution calling upon the committee on retrenchment and reform to take an inventory of all matter printed and report back as to how much is necessary and how much could be dispensed with. To Make Butter Tube. In olden days all one had to do to stir up a fuss was to introduce a bill in the legislature providing for convict made binding twine. But the legislature had to stop putting Anahasna convicts to make butter tubs and voted down Boettger's amendment providing that the butter tubs should be labeled "convict made." New Military Code. The bill to provide a military code for Iowa as passed provides an annual appropriation of $140,000 for the Iowa National Guard and increases the salary of Adjutant General Logan for adding 1,000 men to the guard, the purchase of four field guns and other improvements. Showing the Farmer. The state board of control is showing the farmers in the Iowa legislature how to manage a test of seed corn. In the first floor corridor of the state house the board has a half dozen boxes of tested corn and the miniature cornfield is attracting much attention. Cut Down Appropriation. The house of representatives cut down the appropriation for the Iowa highway commission from $10,000 to $5,000 and passed it. There is every indication that the present legislature will be looked back upon as the most antagonistic to good roads in the history of the state. Tax on Monies and Credits. The Ward bill, for a tax on monies and credits, was quietly killed by the ways and means committee. Insanity Hearing Needs Funds. Chairman Henry Brandes of the house committee to investigate charges of cruelty in the state insane hospitals, has put in a bill for expenses ting far off the budget with a complete list of the witnesses, mileage, expenses of the committee as it went to the state institutions, etc. Avoid Attending School. Representative Roe secured the passage by the house of representatives of a bill which will make it possible for a school to be under the compulsory law if they are attending confirmation classes for one-half day out of the week. Hite Church Fairs and Baffles. Hits Church Fairs and Raffles. Hitsa. or Hammill's anti-gambling bill, which hits church fairs and raffles and which passed the senate, was reported for passage in the house of representatives. No State Fire Marshal. Another measure asked by the fire insurance writers was given its quiet us in the legislature when the appropriations committee slaughtered the Harding bill for a state fire marshal. The demise of this measure following so quickly that of the Harding bill to repeal the Blanchard law winds up the hopes of the Iowa insurance companies for legislators which would have served to protect them from foreign companies. The house committee also killed the Newberry bill for teaching agriculture in the state institutions. The Gilliland bill for quarterage of the brown tailed moth and Hunter bill increasing the salary of be assistant librarian. Air Blakes Are Given Test Members of the house of representative committee on cities and towns were given a demonstration of air brake and power brakes on street cars. The street car company managed the test, which proved that air brake stop the car several feet sooner than the old fashioned power brakes, so many mittes stated. A bill to force the installation of air brakes on street cars has passed the senate and is before the house committee. Asked to Veto Hotel Bill. Governor Carroll is being important to the business interests of the state and especially the keepers of hotels, to veto the Smith hotel bill, which was prepared by and for the traveling men of the state to provide safeguards for travelers. They say that the bill is very bad, that it is expensive, that it will compel closing of many hotels, that it will require virtual rebuilding of some hotels. The bill is up to the governor for his veto. Defines Duties. The bill defining the duties of the county sheriff is now ready for the governor's signature, amendment, having been finally agreed to by the house and senate. These affected the wording of the bill and were of no importance. The house recoded from the senate, and the senate "who" and agreed to accept the senate's judgment on this grammatical point. Ask for Air Brakes. A strong effort is being made by interested persons to secure enough votes in the house for the defeat of the bill to require street car companies to equip cars with air brakes. The house has the bill reported for passage. It is desired by the street car employees and patrons, but the claim is being made that air brakes are not as good as hand brakes. WILL Withdraw BILL. Senator Ream will probably withdraw his bill requiring railroad companies to equip engines with a headlight that will light the track 1,200 feet. The objection to the bill is that it would not be sufficient of its effects upon signal lights, which are said to be the real lights by which the engine is run. Gets Bill on Calendar. Representative Smith has finally succeeded in getting his bill to penalize railroads for non-compliance with orders of the railroad commissioners upon the senate calendar. This bill was one of the first passed by the house, but the senate committee has been holding it up. Cooson's Bill Killed. Good-bye to Senator Cooson's bill making it a misdemeanor for divorced parties to live in Iowa after remarriage in another state before a year has elapsed. The house committee on judicial killed the bill which had passed the senate. Pension Disabled Policemen. Representative Hacker of Fort Dodge, has presented a petition to the house of representatives from Fort Dodge policemen urging him to support the bill for pensioning of worn out and disabled policemen and the widows and children of deceased policemen. Can't Jump on Trains. The flow of bills in the senate practically stopped several days ago, but one falls in once in a while. Senator Clark introduced one yesterday from a line of fuse on thirty days in fall for getting on or off moving trains. Favor the Policemen. The policemen, disabled and otherwise, seem fair to be given a chance to pension themselves. The house of representatives committee on judiciality has recommended for passage Billillary's bill looking toward that end. Gets Half of Claim. Gustave Winter, who lost an arm in a corn shredder at the insane hospital in Independence and who asked for $2,000 from the state, will get half that amount, the claims committee has recommended. Bring Age of Pages to 18 Representative Hunter has introduced a bill into the house requiring all employees of the general assembly to heighteen years of age. There are a number of youngsters working pages who are well under this age. No Four Year Terms as Yet. Nothing doing in the way of four year terms for county officials. Representative Hacker, who had introduced a bill to that end, withdrew his bill. Doctors Lose. The doctors lost another point in the house of representatives when the bill providing that all Idiabetic physicians he licensed by the mayor or police in each town visited, was rescinded for inadequate postplacement. Ask Condemnation. The Des Moines, Iowa Falls & Northern has made application to the railroad commissioners for a condemnation permit, a new depot mark in Iowa Falls. FIND TWO BODIES POLICE INVESTIGATE DEATH OF AGED COUPLE. DISAPPEARENCE IS A MYSTERY Bodies Are Found Buried Under the House Which Had been Burned Down. Toledo, O.—The bodies of Ludwig Krueger and his wife were found by neighbors buried under the floor of the cellar in their home. This morning the Krueger residence a mile west of Toledo was discovered ablaze and there was no trace of the Kruegers. When the ashes had cooled a search of the debris was made, but there was no evidence of the aged couple, buried with them to death Later in the day two boys were digging in the cellar and noticed that the brick floor had been tampered with. One of them raised a brick and the face of the dead woman was revealed. More of the floor was taken up and the body of Mr. Krueger was found, buried with his head at the feet of his wife. Both had been stabbed to death, presumably with a butcher knife. It is not known just when the murder occurred as the people were last seen Tuesday by M. Sobliski, a tailor, who last Saturday paid Mr. Kruger $2,000 as part payment of a purchase. It is believed that robbery was the motive and that the slayer, after burying the bodies and replacing the bricks in the floor of the celler set fire to the house to cover up the murders. At the end of a four hours quizzing Sobliski, the tailor who purchased the Kruger farm, was hold for further investigation. He was taken from police headquarters, where the examination was made by Inspector John Carey and Sherif John Newton to the county jail and locked up. Crazy Snake is at Large. Pierce Okla—Crazy Snake, leader of the Creek renegades, has not been captured, neither did he respond to a wildley distributed invitation to surender. All civilians have given up the hunt, leaving the task to the First regiment of Oklahoma militia. Colonel Hoffman had an extended interview with Crazy Snake's sister at the chief's former home. She convinced Colonel Hoffman she knows nothing of her brother's whereabouts, and that unless he surendered within twenty-four hours a reward would be offered for him dead or alive. There is small probability that this threat will have any influence upon Crazy Snake, who is likely to remain in hiding until public excitement shall have subsided completely. Convicts to Work on Public Roads. Atlanta, Ga.—The convict lease system has come to an end in the State of Georgia, and about 1,500 felony convicts will be transferred from the various private stockades throughout the state to the respective counties in which their crimes were committed. In addition, the 30 men demeanor convicts, these men of stripes will be put to work on the public roads. Dynamite Used in Race War Little Rock, Ark—Trouble between the white and negro employees of the H. Alfrey Heading factory at Hope, Ark, it is claimed, resulted in the wrecking with dynamite of a cabin in the negro quarters, killing one negro and fatally injuring another. The white people, it is said, are making an effort to rid the town of the negro laborers. Measles Epidemic in Elgin New Orleans.-Having disappeared from her home here a month ago, Mrs. E. V. Baker, wife of a grain broker of reputed wealth, is again with her family in this city. Mrs. Baker was found in New York. It is unknown whether she was by woman, whom she met here on the day of her disappearance. Used Gun as Cane: One Dead Waterloo—Jay Ferry of Laporte City is dead and Arthur Kane seriously injured in a hunting accident. Both were crossing a stream and Ferry was using his gun as a cane and had the muzzle under the water when it was shot. The gun burst and Ferry was killed and Kine was badly injured. "Yellow Ten" Threatens Death Moundsville, W. Va.-Harry Paul, well known here, has received a letter signed "The Yellow Ten" demanding that he leave Moundsville under penalty of death. Some time ago Frederick Crawford received a similar letter and five days later was shot and killed from ambush. Thomas Lawler a Former iowan. Marahaltown. -It is not generally known that the new attorney general for the department of the interior, Thomas Lawler of Los Angeles, Calif., is a former iowa hoy, but such is the case. Lawler was reared in this city, and is a son of William Lawler, who moved from this city to California twenty years ago. Young Lawler is now a man of 35 and for several years has been prominent us an attorney at Los Angeles. Five Men Entombed. Charleston, W.

Negro to Hang for Asacult Hopkineville, Ky.-Arthur Wilson, a negro, who was charged with assaulting Mrs. John T. Wilson, was found guilty and sentenced to be hanged. Mrs. Watson positively identified Wilson. A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE Of Painting Requirements Will Save Much Expense. When one sees the surface of a house or other building scaling, or peeling, or spotted or blistered, or showing other symptoms of paint "disease," it is evident that a poor painter has been on the job, and that poor paint was used—or possibly that a good painter had been dominated by interior-typo-ner who knew nothing about paint. It is an easy matter to be informed on paint and painting.

Then, every housewife should make it a point to get only well-known reliable brands in buying his materials. Pure white lead is especially important, or the paint will not prove satisfactory. The famous "Dutch Boy Painter" trademark of Dutch painter Jan van Eyck, the greatest producer of pure white lead, is an absolute guarantee of the purity and quality of the white lead sold under it. That trademark is a safeguard against paint trouble. The Alternative. "If the window had been eight feet from the ground," pouted the young wife, "instead of eight stories, I have thrown myself out when you quarreled with me. Then you'd have had to be sweet to me when you picked me up. A lot of wives attempt suicide, they say, just to be petted when they come to." "Yes," said he, "but sometimes they don't come to, remember." Safe and Sure.

Genghis Khan, the Mongol chief, In the thirteenth century proved himself one of the world's greatest warriors. ‘His tomb exists at Edchen Koro, and ts described In Count de Lesdaln's “From Pekin to Sikkim:" “Two small tents, one bebind the other, and con- nected by 8 very low inner door, made of wornout felt, and admitting through thelr rents the rain and the wind, are the ‘monuments’ destined to perpetuate the renown of the greatest conqueror the world has known. . .. Tho ashes of the body of Genghis Khan are deposited In a kind of chest, cuble in shape, and placed on a wooden support made of small colored pillars, adorned with paintings on all its sides, except that facing south, which {s covered with a Gnely worked copper plate represent- ing a divinity surrounded by four ant- mals which are dificult to Identity. ... The tomb, in fact, has not always been bere, but it {a dimcult to know exactly where the first descendants of the great emperor laid his remains.” Gita: Yece ‘Gen tars: Waker.

Peace we secure by armaments, Uberty by laws and constitutions, simplicity and naturainess are the consummate result of artifictal breed- ing and training; ‘health, strength and wealth aro increased only by lavish use, expense and wear, Our mistrust of mistrust engenders our commer clal 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 de- aires; the true eplcurean has to ob- serve great sobriety; the way to cer- tainty ' Iles through radical: doubt; Virtue signifies not innocence but the knowledge of sin and its overcom- ing.

The growing de mand for the adoption of the sclen- tie methods of city governments lends support to the view that college men will be in demand in this de partment of the public service, hence the propriety and usefulness of a unt versity course establislied on the lines Indicated by the innovation at Colum: bia, Haitians a Lazy Lot. Sydney Brooks, writing to the Lom: don Chronicle about Haitl, says the Haltians were the first people In the world to abolish slavery, and Mrs. C. R. Miller, writing In Lesile's Weekly, says of Haiti: “In that little repubtie, covering about 10,000 square miles, within five days’ sail of New York, one may encounter more strange complica: tious and a greater disregard for hw man life than in the remote coun- trles of the east. Situated in the very heart of thesWest Indies, whore civilization exists In a bigh degree, Haiti alone has kept her doors closed to progress. She became an independ: gmt state more than 100 years ago. Her rich lands were already under cul tivation, but the lazy natives allowed the plantations to go to ruin, and for eats have grown tp instead.” Lanes bao tk bane tok tat chloro Gov.

New York City alone consumes an nually 840,000,000 quarts of milk. We drink 2,300,000 quarts a day. And this does not include smothers’ milk for infants; just cows’ milk—watered and unwatered, fer both infants and adults, “Milk,” says Emerson, “is readily made intoxicating in warm climates simply by agitation. | This feature was quickly discovered.” Be ing placed in a skin and slung from the shoulder or over the back, it was agitated by the motion of the hunter, and fermentation was soon well under way. ‘The skin was undoubtedly none too clean, some milk of the previous day being left, in it, which would act as a leaven. = Sratentive Gaviee: ‘When a telephone line is electro statically chargod the telephone acte fas a condenser.
