He is one of the leaders of the colored race and one of the big men of the Congregational denomination. His home is in Nashville, Tennessee. Since the first of January he has traveled in 12 different states. The doctor was in great demand while in our city. Successful women lawyers are much more rare than successful doctors. Since the days of Mother Eve every one has told me one else that woman was not logical, that she acted from instinct rather than intellect, etc. Yet by some miraculous chance the fact remains that there are at the present day women lawyers of such capacity and renown that they have been entrusted with delicate commissions by the President of the United States, who trusted them above their supposedly superior brothers in the profession. It is true that sex is a hindrance to the woman lawyer, but if she resolutely puts aside all womanishness, she will find that true womaniness is as great an asset for her as for the woman doctor. The law course covers usually three years, and the fees are about a hundred dollars, and the fees do not include the graduate course, which lasts a year at a cost of about a hundred and twenty-five dollars. It is a discouraging profession for a woman, and unless she is absolutely sure that she is fitted for it, no college girl should undertake the long years of preparation. It takes brains and hard work and perseverance, and to those who are lacking in any of these qualities we say emphatically, "Let it alone!" But to those who are sure of themselves and who are bound to succeed, Go in and win!" — The Delinestor for May. Bustander's New Feature. The Iowa State Bystander Co. is always on the outlook for the best and most interesting news for her many readers in the middle west.

The page is written and arranged by Mr. N. B. Dodson, the only colored employee on the editorial force; a young race man with a bright future. We have signed a contract for a few trial orders, and if our readers will show their appreciations and our agents increase their subscribers and those in arrearage pays up, we will be justified in continuing it. We also are paying for special articles or letters from the old world by Clarence Cameron White of London, England, a student there. So our friends and well-wishers must assist us to make the paper better each week. We like the compliment sent this week by our agent, and man who well knows the expense of a newspaper, Mr. Black of Washington, Iowa. We have also turned down some other good propositions because we were a little afraid to install them now. Phones 1791. Ed. CRAFTWARD, Prop. Mason's Wire Frames. ALBIA NOTEB.

A good remedy for ailelessness is to wet a towel and apply to the back of the neck, pressing it hard up against the base of the brain and fastening over this cloth to prevent too rapid evaporation. The effect will be prompt and pleasant, cooling the brain and inducing a sweet and peaceful slumber. Warm water is better than cold for the purpose. This remedy will prove useful to people suffering from overwork, excitement or anx Curry Institute Makes Progress. Industrial School Founded in a Shod Kitchen by Professor E. W. B. Curry Doing Good Work For Young Afro-Americans of Urbana, O. By N. B. DODSON. The building of institutions of learning for the education of young colored men and women by members of their own race has been one of the most encouraging features of the progress of the Negro race to the United States since the close of the war of the rebellion. True it is that they have been successful in business, agricultural pursuits, politics to some extent and along some special lines, but the foundation upon which his present status rests, the encouragement and inspiration which have given him his present prestige and upon which his future hopes and aspirations must depend, is in the education of the masses of his people. That the Negro has contributed largely toward his own education in the founding and fostering of schools and colleges is a fact well known to the white people of America. The slogan a few decades ago was, "Go west, young man." It doubtless meant for greater commercial development particularly, but it also meant being aroused by this prehensive advice came the necessity for better educational facilities among all classes of people. A young man who heeded the gathering cry, noted the signs of the times and caught the tide at its flood was E. W. B. Curry, who at the age of seventeen years founded what is now the University of Oklahoma industrial institute, which is located at Urbana, O. This school had its humble beginning in a shed kitchen, 12 by 14 feet, at DeLware, O., which was the property of one Isaac Meredion, on THE FAMILY OF THE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF NEW YORK 1 DIDRESSMAKING DEPARTMENT David street, which Professor Curry rented for 50 cents per month. He built the chimney out of brickbats and picked up coal along the railroad tracks for fuel and opened the school with an enrollment of one student, who paid for its accommodations 25 cents per week. The number of students the first year was six. This was in January, 1889. In 1886 the school was removed to Mechanicsburg, O. and again in 1897 to its present site as Dutton, where it has grown into one of the most nourishing institutions of learning for the colored people of that section. Professor Curry believes in the trio training—namely, that of the stuff out of and present him highest common matter what duet—let it be an ad audience, the cle chopping wood, the blackboard, for money to be all, as Professor and it is a plea trusted with success of his race. Society of The Ladies' art of the Sons of N. Y., is one of mutual benefit Afro-American Its business is set of officers, h Stewart as pres SHOREMAKING DEPARTMENT. the heart, hand and head—and to that end he has surrounded himself with teachers who possess a firm Christian character, well prepared by training and experience, whose lives express a burning desire to make something real out of each student who comes to the institution for development. There are twelve teachers employed by the school. The business end of the affairs is looked after by a board of trustees composed of representative men of experience, who have the best interest of the institute at heart. The board recently purchased seventy-five acres of splendid farm land four miles south of Urbane, on the Springfield plike, at a cost of $00 per acre. Money is now being raised to finish payment for the farm and to erect suitable school buildings, which are needed for the extension of the work at the present time. Contributions to any amount will be thankfully received and off- cally acknowledged upon receipt of the same. English literature, Bible school, music, carpentry, blacksmithing, shoemaking, dressmaking, millinery, cement paving, agriculture, domestic science, printing and other subjects are taught. Professor Curry says: "We are badly in need just now of 100 chairs, two sewing machines, two typewriting machines and two bookcases. We should be pleased to correspond with any one who might be interested in giving along this line." After graduation from the high school Professor Curry taught public school in Van Wert county, O. He PROFESSOR E. W. B. CURBY. then returned to Delaware, O., the place of his birth, and took a special course in Michael college and also at Ohio Wesleyan university. While at the university he taught school at night. He studied law in the firm of Marriott & Wickham for two years and attributes much of the success which has come to him to the training and advice which he received from Lawyer Marriott and Judge Wickham. Few men have had a harder struggle upward in building a great school with as little help and with as little noise as has Professor E. W. B. Curry. He can do many things and do them well. As an orator, educator, author and publisher he ranks among the foremost men of the race, and as a great advocate of the temperance cause his addresses are brimful of logic, eloquence and stresses. His even tenor of life and life interests place his work at the Curry Normal and Industrial institute upon a high and dignified plane. One who would found an institution for the transforming of the human, as it were, into the angelic must know that the lessons of endurance taught in a gravel pit, a harvest field, a stone quarry, swamps, mud, rain, snow and the like are those alone that will test which a man is made and present him what is highest commendation. It does not matter what duties the day may bring—let it be an address before a cultured audience, the cleaning of schoolrooms, chopping wood, instructing a class at the blackboard, canvassing strangers for money to continue the work—it is all, as Professor Curry regards it, connected with the business of a builder, and as a pleasure to him to be intrusted with such a part of the education of his race.

W., of the most influential mutual benefit organizations among Afro-American women, North its business is conducted by an set of officers, headed by Mrs. Jennie Stewart as president.

Sir Walter Scott declared that these four lines were worth a thousand romances: Had we never loved see kindly, Had we never loved see blindly, Never missed a never parted, We had never been broken hearted.

"Most ordinary colds will yield to the simplest treatment," says the Chicago Tribune. "moderate laxatives, hot foot baths, a free prespiration and an avoidance of exposure to cold and wet after treatment." While this treatment is simple, it requires considerable trouble, and the one adopting it must remain in doors for a day or two, of a flesh 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 Chamberlin's Cough Remedy, that is famous for its cure of colds and can always be depended upon For sale by all druggists. Ahcient Uses of Bloodhounds. Although the use of bloodhounds for tracking criminals still survives, another ancient use of these dogs seems to have died out. Bloodhounds were at one time often called upon to assist an army in the field, the field, the East African oppressor the Irish robbellion, the time of Elizabeth, for instance, being accompanied by 800 dogs in the Scottish clan feuds and the wars between England and Scotland bloodhounds were regularly employed in tracking fugitive warriors, and both Wallace and Bruce were hunted in this manner. Wallace is said to have baffled his pursuers by killing a follower and leaving the corpse for the hound to find, while Bruce adopted the less cruel plan of wading some distance down a stream and ascending a tree which overhung the water.

"Through the keyhole another eye looked coldly into his. He started back, pale with fright. He tipped off hurriedly. "I'll lose my job," he muttered. Meanwhile his mistress, the widow, sat with the young and gallant captain in the room from whose door the keyhole had rolled. The rotted moulder between her slim fingers and her dim elbows were on the table, among the litter of foer gras sandwiches, cold partridge and champagne. The young captain pointed to the door. A hand mirror, its silver gilt back towards him, hung from the door knob. "Why did you put that there?" he asked. "It is a trap for peepers," replied the widow. "Suppose my butter or cook stole to the door and put his eye to the keyhole. His eye would meet another eye. Believing himself discovered, he would trot silently away." Persistent Office-Seeker Had Finally Landed Soft Job. "I remember one man from my home town," a western senator said recently, in the good old days of civil service examinations, whose dream of earthly attainment was a government place. When his party was finally successful he immediately set out for Washington and was on long before the 4th of March, but there were others where. All through the spring he was about town. Wherever I went I would see him, striving for or just after an audience with some department official. By June he was seedy and broken looking, but still appeared to be 'game'. Finally I found him in the gallery of the senate chamber apparently endeavoring to kill time. "Well, have you given it up?" I asked, trying to be sympathetic. "Ob, I got the job, all right," he replied with a satisfied smile. "I'm working now."—Success Magazine. The Earliest Religion. Religion was at first purely domestic, an affair of the family, pure and simple. The gods were the dead ancestors, and the worship consisted of the perpetual care of the hearth gods and the graves of the departed relatives. It was the ancient belief (the most ancient, so far as we know) that the departed ancestors continued to live in or about the tomb, and that their peace and happiness depended absolutely upon the care with which their posterity looked after their worship. If the hearth fire was allowed to burn, or the tomb was neglected, or the tomb was not faithfully taken to the tomb, the once-became a wretched one; whereas, if these things were carefully attended to, all was serene with them. There is much to show that this domestic belief obtained for a long time before the belief in God and a future life came in—Chicago American. Mirror for the Sick Room. "Only a hand mirror should find place in a sickroom," said a doctor, "and if he is one flattering to the patient—the patient that if the face is too broad, will lengthen it a little. And the patient should only be allowed to look in the mirror at propitious times. Many a patient has been frightened literally to death by his haggard reflection—has looked, sighted, and renounced hope. But many another patient in a really bad way—really desperate, too—being given a look at himself just after he has taken a humiliating step and wondered wonderfully. In fact, a sickroom mirror, wisely handled, is a curative agent, while recklessly handled it may kill." Loved and Hated. Europe hates our rich art patrons and loves them. It loves them for the money they have made and are willing to spend on old masters and new masters, even when they are spirulous. It hates the rich American who he beats a rich European in competition for some highly desired art treatises. American become more men who humiliate brutes with the longer purse, and worse than that, art consumers who raise art prices to unreasonable heights by their traditional desire to get what they want when they want it.

There were plenty of men in Rome, therefore, who were prepared to talk about the earth as a sphere and to make globes illustrating their ideas.

"My trouble finally got so bad I had to live on milk and toast almost entirely for three or four years. Still I loved the coffee and wouldn't believe it could do such damage.

So I got a package and carefully followed the directions.

TERWIN IS PRESIDENT Resolution Adopted by New Board Invite the Old Boards to Offer Advice and Assistance in Work Des Moines, Ia., April 22.—After electing James H. Trewin of Cedar Rapids president and appointing a committee of three to visit and become familiar with each of the three state schools, Iowa's new board of education closed its first meeting at the state house, without electing a finance committee and adjourned until May 12, when the members will meet with the board of regents of the state university at Iowa City. Immediately following the Iowa City joint session the new board will go to Cedar Falls and then to Ames to hold similar joint sessions with the trustees of the state normal school and the state college. A resolution was adopted to the effect that the board will welcome advice and help from the three separate boards which it will supplant. Three members of the board of nine will visit each of the three schools and devote considerable time to becoming familiar with the details of administration. This was decided upon as the best means of preparing the board as a whole for an intelligent discharge of its duties after July 1, when it first comes into official existence. Visiting committees were named as follows: For the state university—James H. Trewin, P. K. Holbrook, A. B. Funk. For the state college—T. D. Foster. E. P. Schoengen and C. R. Brenton. For the state teachers' college—D. D. Murphy, G. T. Baker, Roger Leavitt. Will Trace Corporations. Approximately $4,000 in postage and clerks' hire is to be spent by Secretary of State Hayward within the next six months in finding out how many corporations are actually doing business in Iowa and what companies have gone out of business since articles of incorporation were filed at the secretary's office. The expense will be borne by the corporate attorney, who has law passed by the *hirty-third general assembly*, are required to pay an annual $1 fee to the state. Since the office of secretary of state was established about 16,000 corporations have filed articles, and no one knows how many of these are still in existence. merchants call on governor. It is probable that Governor Carroll will grant a hearing as to whether he shall sign or veto the Balkema bill prohibiting certain trading stamp schemes. A number of retailers appeared before the governor and asked that he sign the bill. But many smaller retailers object on the ground that the trading stamp plan is of great aid to them in their business. The Balkema bill provides that each trading stamp concern must give a prize commensurate in value with the value of the trading stamps. For instance $500 in trading stamps would entitle the holder to $500 in prizes and would thus prohibit the "wild cat" trading stamp plans that have been uprooted in some Iowa cities.

LAST LIQUOR BILL SIGNED GOVERNOR CARROLL AFIXES NAME TO HARMILL'S MEASURE. Des Moines, Iowa, April 19—After July 1 county attorneys will have a means of finding out just how many pints of whisky and how many quarts of wine were sold in any one month by druggists in their counties. Senator Hammill's bill requiring druggists to number consecutively all applications for liquor was signed Saturday by the governor. The governor's courts have passed through his hands. It provides that the numbered applications must be filed each month with the county auditor, and they must correspond with stubs to be kept by the druggists open to inspection at any time. By looking over the numbered applications a county attorney will be able to discover just how much liquor has been sold by each druggist, and how many times sales have been made to the same person. It specifies the form of application that the applicant for liquor is unknown to the druggist the application must also be signed by a witness. Buildings to Cost $100,000. State Architect Liebe and his assistant, B. F. Egbert, at the state house are completing plans for new state structures which will cost about $100,000. The boy's custodial building at Glenwood, to cost $40,000, is to be commenced and soon as the contract is May 5. At Oakdale, the seat of the State Tuberculosis hospital, many improvements are to be made. A new $5,000 residence for the superintendent is to be the first building erected. There then are to be twenty cottages for the patients, to cost $1,000 each. A big building for the helpers and nurses is being designed to cost when completed $20,000. The plans contemplate a system of water works which will cost $4,000. O Many birds will be opened for the heating and plumbing for the two big additions to the hospitals at Independence and Cherokee. These additions are modern in every way, and the cost of each when done is $125,000. Affecte Cigarette Smokers. "It shall be unlawful," says the Proudfoot act, "for any person under 21 years of age to smoke on or use a cigarette or cigarettes on the premises of another or on any public road, street alley or park or other land used for public purposes, or in any place of business or amusement, except when in company of his parent or guardian." Under the new law boys under 21 years of age may be arrested for smoking cigarettes in almost any place except their own homes, unless accompanied by their guardians or parents. The bill was introduced by Senator Proudfoot by request, and the Iowa Anti-Saloon league intends to see it enforced. WILL Ask for Bills. Within the next thirty days the executive council will go over the plans and specifications and ask for bids for the marble work and other interior finishings of the historical building, for which $3,000,000 was appropriated by the legislature. Architect Oliver O. Smith drew plans for the interior building, and for the building itself were drawn, and these undoubtedly will be used in expending the $3,000. Mr. Smith estimated that the building could be finished according to his plans and specifications for that amount. Speaker's Room for Board. The executive council at its last meeting decided to put the new board in the speaker's room off the chamber of the house of representatives on the third floor of the capitol. The council delegated Governor Carroll to make the necessary arrangements. It is in this room that the board will hold its first session. The executive council settled a vexing question in deciding to locate the board in the room always set apart for the speaker during the legislative session. Owing to the crowded condition of the state house, it was expected that some of those installed in offices would be forced to double up. A tempest of protest was stirred up as the result. Insurance Tax Help Treasury. During the first three months of the year Auditor Bleakley collected the insurance taxes and fees and turned them over to the state treasury. They aggregate $44,800.00, of which $44,405.17 were fees for certificates and examinations. This is the largest collection on record. 157 Want Pardons. Members of the board of parole heard seventy-five cases at Fort Madison and eighty-two at Anamose on their latest visit. The board will meet in Des Moines this week to make decisions on the cases. Sold Cow That Was Affected. Members of the state pure food and dairy department have been called to Ames to investigate a case wherein it is charged that an Ames butcher was discovered to be selling beef badly affected, with tuberculosis lesions. Signed All Bills. Governor Carroll has completed the signing of all but five of the bills passed by the Third-third general assembly. None of the five is important, and the indication now is that Governor Carroll will not use his veto power. Last Bill Signed. Senator Carlson's assumption of rikh bill and Senator Cosson's law enforcement bill giving the attorney general supervision over county attorneys have been signed. ? WHAT JOY THEY BRING TO EVERY HOME as with joyous hearts and smiling faces they romp and play—when in health—and how conducive to health the games in which they indulge, the outdoor life they enjoy, the cleanly, regular habits they should be taught to form and the wholesome diet of which they should partake. How tenderly their health should be preserved, not by constant medication, but by careful avoidance of every medicine of an injurious or objectionable nature, and if at any time a remedial agent is required, to assist nature, only those of known excellence should be used; remedies which are pure and wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, like the pleasant laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna has come into general favor In many millions of well informed families, whose estimate of its quality and excellence is based upon personal knowledge and use. Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna has also met with the approval of physicians generally, because they know it is wholesome, simple and gentle in its action. We inform all reputable physicians as to the medicinal principles of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, obtained by an original method from certain plants known to them to act most beneficially, and presented in an agreeable syrup in which the wholesome Californian blue figs are used to promote the pleasant taste; therefore it is not a secret remedy, and hence we are free to refer to all well informed physicians, who do not approve of patent medicines and never favor indiscriminate self-medication. Please to remember and teach your children also that the genuine Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna always has the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—plainly printed on the front of every package and that it is for sale in bottles of one size only. If any dealer offers any other than the regular Fifty cent size, or having printed thereon the name of any other company, do not accept it. If you fail to get the genuine you will not get its beneficial effects. Every family should always have a bottle on hand, as it is equally beneficial for the parents and the children, whenever a laxative remedy is required.
