For the past few years complaints have come to us that the color line or a separate part of the public cemetery was being kept for Colored people only, but not until last week when the two Hicklin brothers, (being very fair) called at the new Glendale Cemetery to buy a grave to inter their mother they secured a good location up on the hill and paid for it, the next day the sexou learned that they were Colored people dug another grave in the lower or Colored settlement and tried to force the Hicklin's to accept that, stating that the Colored people were not allowed to be burried up there, after one hour of wrangling with the funeral waiting, Supt. of Public Parks, Wesley Ash forced the cemetery authorities to bury the body in the original grave. This is worse than the dreaded south. It is outrageous. And now we Colored people must rise as one man and demand that Commissioner Wesley Ash discharge the sexton that has been drawing the color line. Several of the large undertakers have told us about this before. It was a shame that Prof. Geo. I, Holt's mother in law was thus interrupted and delayed. I will be one who will this week demand that this man be discharged. SENATOR CUMMINS HOME Des Moines turned out last Monday evening to welcome the first U. S. Senator that our city ever sent to the upper house of the American Congress.

It was a grand sight, business men, lawyers, bankers, laborers, Colored men and the common man marched side by side with the millionaire. Never has a western U. S. Senator been given such a royal welcome as he, never has there been a man who went to Congress and attracted so much notice as A.B. Cummins in only one short special session. He is the acknowledge leader of the Progressive forces in America and we hope will be Republican party standard bearer in 1912. Hon. Harvey Ingham presided he made a fine address. NEW MAGAZINE.

No news from Africa is not necessarily good news for the big game. If shoes go too high in price we can all take the Kneipp cure. Laws that cripple legitimate business are laws that should be repealed. Summer resort proprietors are bearing up wonderfully under the hot weather. It will be a pretty cheap fair this year that doesn't have an acroplane exhibition. Between murderous anarchists and typhoid fever, the carr is certainly having small choice of troubles. No prostrations from the heat are reported from the summer colonies of the millionaires. Both at home and abroad, the killing of missionaries seems to be one of the Chinese fads. The qualifications of a successful mayor are common sense, backbone and business acumen. The scientific name of the house fly is "musca domestica." It doesn't sound quite mean enough. Though a woman's large hat caused a canoe to capsize in the Bronx river the incident will have no effect on the fashion. Nansen is to revisit the arctic regions, but as he wants to do something original he will study ocean currents and not discover the north pole. It is none too early, perhaps, to make a rule that any man who rocks the boat shall be pitched head first into the water to sink or swim, just as it suits him. A Chicago man with one gray and one blue eye asks the chief of police of St. Louis to find him a wife. He does not insist that she harmonize with his color scheme. The popular unrest in Colombia has been blamed on a plague of grasshoppers. From the character of the Colombian unrest one might have fancied it a plague of fleas. Milk bottles are now made out of paper. After awhile, we suppose, it will be so arranged that we can have our milk delivered each morning in our favorite publication. Prof. Munsterberg says it is safe to drink if you do it moderately. That explains the caution of the man who quits when it comes to his turn to treat the crowd. A hater of automobiles has given a large fund to the University of Paris to endow a chair of aviation. Maybe he never had sand dropped down his neck from a passing balloon. Before complaining of the heat take a few minutes off to be thankful that you are not running white-hot billets of steel through the rollers at the mills or stoking on a lake boat. A straw bonnet on a horse's head is only a sham appearance of kindness to one's beast when the angry driver is seen jerking and twisting at the bits. If it were not for the heat waves the corn would not mature, the elevators would not fill and there would be no johnny cake. Let us bear our trials with what patience we can. Yes, nature is inscrutable but kind. Mosquitoes have their uses, snakes devour gophers and vultures carry off carcasses. Even the motorcycle, it is said, may be used to advantage by firemen. A census taker in Chicago of a man's ideal for a wife reveals that there is general masculine prejudice against the college girl as a spouse. Naturally, the college girl was doomed from the start. She has the fatal feminine defect in masculine eyes—she knows too much. That labor strike in Hawaii which some persons feared would develop race difficulties that might engender trouble with Japan appears in a fair way to be settled without serious disturbance. As the Japanese laborers seem willing to return to work, probably the matter has been grossly exaggerated, and for a purpose. Such things have happened before. The Juno disbursements for interest and dividends by railroad, industrial and other corporations will reach $71,220,600, which is an increase of $4,277,000 over last year. This is an infallible indication of the improvement in business conditions and of a gain in the earning capacity of the concerns in question. And everything promises greater advance in that direction in the immediate future. A bank official in the west, convicted of swindling and sentenced to 38 years' imprisonment, was pardoned after serving a few years. He had a new start in life, every one sympathizing with his 'resolve to change. He got another chance, likewise more thousands with which he has disappeared. Sympathy is a pleasing feeling to those who bestow it, but it is also expensive, particularly when it induces mercy to temper justice as that justice cannot be recognized. Thirty years ago a man in Delaware bought an old safe at public auction and put it in his stable. Later, after apparently turning the matter over in his mind for the said 30 years he had been in possession, he decided to break the safe open and see what was inside. He found gold coin enough to enable him to spend the rest of his life in luxury. This shows how well it is to think things over long and well before committing ones to rest Business System of Iowa Company Completely Reorganized BUTTHREE SUPERINTENDENTS Six Districts, Under the New Plan Will Replace the Thirty-nine Districts That Have Heretofore Been Maintained. Des Moines, Aug. 12—The Iowa Telephone company has announced the complete reorganization of its business system in Iowa. The changes take place immediately. Instead of the thirty-nine local and district managers, who have been maintained in the past, six districts have been formed in the state and over the six districts will be placed three division superintendents. There will be three superintendents in each district, one in charge of the plants, one to look at the plants and physical features of the lines and a superintendent of traffic, who will be responsible for the messages, accounting and general office routine. The same distribution of offices applies to the division superintendents. L. W. Hatch, who has been manager at Davenport, will come to Des Moines as division superintendent of the plants.

CHADLEY in CHICAGO PRINT NEWS THE TIMID SUITOR MAY PROCEED SAFELY WITH HIS WOOING FRENCHMAN FLIES OVER ALPS DARING VOYAGE MADE BY SPEL- TERINE AND FRIENDS. Reach Height Exceeding Three Miles While Passing over Mount Blanc —Danger Not Over. Chamonix, France. — The balloon Sirius has succeeded in flying over the Alps. The airship left here last Sunday under the pilotage of M. Spetterine, who had with him three passengers. Fears were entertained for the safety of the voyagers, but they have landed safely at a point near Locarno at an altitude of 5,400 feet. The four men, however, still had a dangerous path to cover on foot from the place where they landed into Locarno. The balloon Sirius traversed Mount Blanc and soared over the Alguille du Dru and the Alguille Verte. The highest altitude attained on the voyage was 5,600 meters, equal to 18,373 feet. A successful balloon trip over Mount Blanc and the Alps was made in November of 1906 by two Italian aeronauts in the balloon Milano. The greatest altitude reached on this trip was 20,500 feet, and the rarefied atmosphere made it necessary for the men to resort to their supply of oxygene. The Sirius traversed Mount Blanc, which went up from Milan, came down at Aix-le-Bains after having covered a distance of 175 miles in three hours. The record for height in a balloon would appear to belong to two Englishmen, Mossars, Coxwell and Glaisher, who, in 1862, ascended to a height of 37,000 feet, or about seven miles. In 1875 M. Tissander, a Frenchman, rose more than five miles into the air. He was accompanied by a friend who died on the way. A self-registering balloon sent up without a passenger from Paris in 1983 reached an altitude of $2,490 feet.

The parade formed at the beautiful Eagle gate on South Temple street. First in line were the regulars of the Fifteenth United States infantry and the entire National Guard of Utah, acting as escorts. Next came the forty-four departments of the Grand Army of the Republic, the Naval Veterans, the Ex-Union Prisoners of War, and in armies the surviving members of that devoted band of women, the Army Nurses. Scattered through the line were numerous military bands and life and drum corps. Greeted with Cheers and Tears. At the word of command the parade marched west to Main street and turned south down that thoroughfare, proceeding seven blocks between solid walls of cheering men, women and children. As the grizzled veterans passed the enthusiasm was tremendous and many a spectator wept unashamed as he realized that this was undoubtedly the last grand review for scores of the feeble heroes who trudged along with eyes on the flag for which they had given some of the best years of their lives. When Seventh South street was reached the paraders themselves broke out in mighty cheering, for there they turned in front of the most statue of the day, the "Living Flag". On an afternoon were 3,600 children dressed in the national colors, and so arranged that they made a perfect representation of a waving American flag. The little ones had been drilled for many weeks, and while the old soldiers passed they sang patriotic airs.

The parading bodies all passed in review, saluting those in the stand, and at once disbanded. All the bands as they arrived here were massed close to the stand and as the culmination of the parade, 4,000 school children marched by the united bands, singing "Onward, Christian Soldiers." The great review was excellently managed in every way.

This peak lies immediately north of The Eagle Gate, Salt Lake City. the city and is the highest point of the Wasatch mountains, rising 1,200 feet, higher than Temple square.

Big "Greetings" Meeting. Monday evening came the first public event on the program—a great camp-fire in the assembly hall in the Temple grounds.

This occurred every spring. I always used Cucicura Soap and Ointment which never failed to heal it up. The last time it broke out it became so bad that I was discouraged to use Cucicura Soap, Ointment and use until she was well and has never been troubled in the last two years. Mrs. M. A.

Every day sees hundreds of new recruits in the war against tuberculosis, and every day brings new methods for the fighting of the plague. The National association predicts that if the present degree of "interest" is made everybody in the United States will have been informed on the way to prevent and cure tuberculosis, and concerning the infectious nature of the disease. Two things in particular are needed, and for these the National association is working in every way. They are, a more complete registration of tuberculosis cases, and the further isolation of dangerous advanced cases of consumption. Evening Things Up. There is much rivalry between Judges Rosalsky and O'Sullivan of the general sessions in New York and last week it looked as if O'Sullivan had the laugh on his rival for all time.

Praises American Woman. Alfred East says that American women, like American machines, need but little man power. The American woman, he says, is the most chum-mumble woman in the world, therefore she is the most chum-mumble woman in the system, she thinks responsible for the fact that American women are such "good fellows." ON FOOD The Right Foundation of Health. Proper food is the foundation or health. People can eat improper food for a time until there is a sudden collapse of the digestive organs, then all kinds of trouble follows. The proper way out of the difficulty is to shift to the pure, scientific food, Grape-Nuts, for it rebuilds from the foundation up. A New Hampshire woman. "Last summer I was suddenly taken with indigestion and severe stomach trouble and could not eat food without great pain, my stomach was so sore I could hardly move about. This kept up until I was so miserable life was not worth living. "Then a friend finally, after much argument, induced me to quit my former diet and try Grape-Nuts. "Although I had but little faith I commenced to use it, and great was my surprise to find that I could eat it without the usual pain and distress in my stomach. "Then using Grape-Nuts and soon a marked improvement was shown for my stomach" was performing its regular work in a normal way without pain or distress. "Very soon the yellow coating disappeared from my tongue, the dull, heavy feeling in my head disappeared, and my mind felt light and clear; the languid, tired feeling left, and aloof, tired feeling built and been built. Strength and weight can back rapidly and I went back to my work with renewed ambition. "To-day I am a new woman in mind as well as body, and I owe it all to this natural food, Grape-Nut."

WANT FIVE BILLIONS IRRIGATION CONGRESS IN WEST SEEKS $5,000,000,000 FOR AID OF CAUSE. IS CONSIDERED AMPLE FUND Effort Also Made to Condemn Use of Birds on Women's Hats Because Feathery Kingdom Wages War on Savage Insects. Spokane, Wash.-An Issue of $5,000, 000,000 in three per cent. bonds for irrigation of arid lands, improvement of waterways and public roads and drainage, is the plan of the National irrigation congress in session here. Arthur Hooler of Spokane, secretary of the board of control, introduced the resolution requesting this great sum at Wednesday's session. It is proposed to use this fund in five portions, as follows: One billion for drainage; one billion fro irrigation; one billion for deep waterways; one billion for good roads and one billion for forest preser ation. It was asked that a committee present the request to congress. A relation also was introduced planning that where settlers of arid lands have been deprived of the right to reclaim their lands by the actor of the reclamation service in cutting off the land and gaining the right to their lands by the reclamation of one acre in their tracts by means of a well. J. N. Teal of Oregon introduced a resolution condemning the use of the plumage of birds for the decoration of women's head-gear and asking further questions about where their activities are a relief from the savage insects in the forests. George Ots Smith, director of the geological survey, spoke on the classification of public lands. Irrigation in South Dakota was discussed by S. H. Lea, state engineer of South Dakota Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific railroad, spoke on the opportunities of the west. Sec retary clerk of the interior department called on Irrigation man Mr. Elliott, with a note of bitterness in his voice, said that while the railway is second only to the farmer as a developer of the nation's resources, "but few arose to say, 'well done, thou good and faithful servant'." The settlement of the railroad problem is not found in whether the fare for passengers should be three cents a mile, but in a population which will take advantage of natural resources that eight hours' labor a day. "We made President Taft for his demand for efficiency among government employees, and added that in the west there is no success for the man who wants eight hours' labor and lots of holiday days.

In order to get the desired, stiffness, it is usually necessary to use so much starch that the beauty and fineness of the fabric is hidden behind a paste of varying thickness, which not only destroys the appearance, but also affects the wearing quality of the goods. This trouble can be entirely overcome by using Defiance Starch, as it can be applied much more thinly because of its greater strength than other makes. The Worm Turned.
