Carter Makes Presentation Speech and Mr. Buxton Makes Response. On last Tuesday, October 6th, the "Veterans of Old Muchy" presented Mr. B. C.

Dr. Carter, in his presentation speech, recalled the many acts of philanthropy which class Mr. Buxton as one of the foremost leaders in the factorial race. Among the things he mentioned was Mr. Buxton's efforts in establishing the best negro M. Y. C. A. in the world at Buxton, Ia. He not only gave one half of the money necessary for his construction, but also made substantial in the remainder of the funds from the Consolidation Coal Co. He also donated liberally to churches and charities and almed many older citizens personally. He encouraged thrift among the miners; encouraged them in the saving of their property; instructed good houses and large home garden spots and many things too numerous to mention. Through long acquaintance a mutual friendship had grown up between men and superintendent and the men to be a general for employing them as miners. The men expressed the hope that the present superintendent would continue the old policies and pledged their continual support to him. In his response Mr. Buxton thanked the men for their token and the men would live all the time with his memory, even without such a reminder of their friendship as was presented to him. He expressed himself as feeling kindly toward all his employees, but most especially toward the "Veterans of old Much" who were continually in need of beautiful mounted on an ebony pedestal. Upon one side was the inscription: "To Benjamin Cliff Buxton, with loving remembrances from the Veterans of Old Much." On the other side of the cup the names of the sixty-two donors were enraved.

This Liniment also relieves rheumatic pains and is certain to please anyone suffering from that disease. For sale by all draggist. The following extracts from the recent speech of Secretary of War Jacob M. Dickinson at the state fair, Nashville, Teun, is practical, sane and sound. It is strong enough to make the governor of each state wake up to a sense of his duty as the state's chief executive, and it ought also to cause the central government at Washington to take a long, deep breath. Secretary Dickinson said: "It is idle to talk of a settlement of the Negro question in the sense that all agitation and controversy will cease. You might as well talk of settling the poverty question or the labor question. There can be no settlement so as to remove forever controversy arising from the continuing conditions of millions of one race of people living in a country with another race, both having the same rights and opportunities under the existing law and theoretically the same citizenship, with its attendant rights. In any aspect the question is portentous. If the white people assert the right to govern, then the government should be one of fairness and justice, a government of law and not of passion. The courts, and not mots, should punish lawbreakers. Negroes should be protected in their property rights, settled with justly and governed by the constituted authorities. The cankering virus of mob rule, no matter against what evils directed, destroys all wholesome life in the body politic. HON. JACOB M. DICKINSON, and makes it a polluted wreck, awayed by passion and incapable of the ordinary administration of law. "No civilization can expand on broad and high lines where communities are terrorized by mob rule. We do not want a state of siege, continuous conflict and the exhibition of the mailed hand. We want peace, the growth of the arts and sciences and such conditions as will invite commerce and at least migration within our borders, if not immigration. To control with any degree of permanency, even for our own time, the race question it must be on such a basis as will appeal to enlightened judgment, sympathy and co-operation with people of the world all over this country. We can for a time maintain supremacy by violence and disorder without such cooperation, but it will be at a frightful cost. We ought to maintain it with a beautiful, advancing and not a recorded civilization, under peaceful conditions and the reign of the law. This should be done with the highest degree of protection and justice to the Negro compatible with white political control." STATE BAPTISTS TO MEET. Coming Session at New Rochelle May Plan Independent Work. The next annual meeting of the New York Baptist state convention will be held with the Bethesda Baptist church of New Rochelle, N. Y., beginning Tuesday, Oct. 10. The primary object of the convention is to do missionary work in the state by assisting small churches, missions, Sunday schools and other institutions of a religious character. The convention has forly done most of its home and foreign mission work through the New England Baptist missionary school. If not all of the churches of the state convention belong. But as there was much dissatisfaction on account of the abrupt maneuver in which the New England convention treated the New York delegation at its Boston session last June the probabilities are that the New York state, convention may perfect plans at the coming session to do its work independent of that institution in the future. No Further Enrosachment. We say again that we are bitterly opposed to anti-tuberculosis leagues as adjuncts to our churches, and we mean it. The idea of members of the church appearing at its services, each with a patient named "Tuberculosis." Have we all leavened that we should be so marked as a warning to other persons to steer clear of us? Hospitals, slumshouses and posthouses are the places for persons having contagious diseases and not churches, which are set apart for spiritual worship. NEW LIGHT ON DOUGLASS.

Miss Mott says that you will feel blind when Miss Mott writes her letter. I have just begun to read and write again. I can see again! I thought how you would pity me if only you knew how blind I was! In her arms all the things I was not able to Miss Mott told me that you visited a great many blind children and they felt of you. They were so afraid they had heard of you before you came to see them. Oh, how sorry I felt for them that they could not see you! Wonder if it snows where you are. It snows where you are. It snows where you are. It snows where you are. The fakes are almost as large as the palm of my hand. They look so beautiful falling upon the green leaves of the dows. The leaves are bright green. They have now a beautiful green edge. My dear father, if you were here now, oh, happy, how happy, I should be!

Then I have so many of your dear letters, and you tell me how you love me, and you tell me how you love me. Miss Abigail and Miss Lydia are very much delighted with your last letter. They thought Mr. Sanderson was a beautiful letter, but it did not come from my dear father, although he calls himself my oldest brother. Do you know that, Miss Nash says that she is very much obliged to you for your love to her, but she says she wonders how you have any love left for her when you send a whole My dear father, you say that you show my letters to little girls. Why, father, I am so proud of you. I am proud of them. There is something private in them. Father, you may that you dreamed that I did not know you when you met me; I did not know you when you met me; even though very strange for you to dream that I did not know you, for I shall know you if I only hear you say no, even though you very strange for you to dream. I sleep so sweetly. I do not remember what I think when I am asleep, but Miss Abigail says she can give you a kiss. Miss Abigail says she can give you a kiss. She dreamt that she met you in some company and you would not shake her as she did. She dreamt that you put out your hand very indifferently and spoke coldly to her. But Miss Mott says she doesn't believe in her love for you. Miss Lydia desires me to give a great Miss Lydia desires me to give a great love to you. This is from your loving little daughter. ROSETTA DOUGLASS. Institutions Which Deserve Help. The National Orphan and Educational association and the American institute, under the fostering care of the Rev. C. B. W. Gordot, at Petersburg, VA, are worthy institutes, which have for their object the bettering-of conditions among our people along all helpful lines. Perhaps there is no pastor in the tidewater section of the state who does a more needful work for our people in connection with his pastoral duties than the Rev. Mr. Lydia Gordot. These institutions are not forgotten by our people in a financial way, but there is room for a much larger number, who by their co-operation would enable the management to increase the usefulness of both the orphans' home and the American institute.

IOWA It is thinking of something to say, rather than saying things thought, that is difficult. The drought has shortened all crops except four lakes. This crop holds up excellently well. It seems that the aeroplane not only imitates the birds in flying but that it is oviparous, laying golden eggs. Oh, yes, cranberries are small and discouraging. No matter, they'll be making the usual good "sass" by Thanksgiving. It is a grand thing it alcohol can be obtained cheaply from lumber waste as long as the trusts allow any number to go to waste. The authorities at Washington are trying to muzzle the matutinal rooster, but thus far their efforts have not been crowned with success. These heavier-than-air machines would be even more popular if there were always softer-than-earth material to fall upon its case of accident. Tennyson now stands charged with the crime of writing for the middle classes. He is dead and cannot revise his writings to meet the notions of the proletariat. The list of definitions of optimism and pessimist is not yet exhausted. A jocular addition is that the optimist is the eye doctor and the pessimist one who takes care of people's feet. In an Etruscan tomb there has been unearthed a human jaw with dental work in it 3,000 years old. Doubtless the guileful Etruscan dentist said, even as dentists says to day: "No, this will not hurt you." There are some disadvantages accompanying modern inventions. The aeroplane hat, announced by some milliners, would appear to be one of them. Is it expected that they will make wearers lightheaded? Troubles are pouring in on the poor little 12-year-old shah of Persia. While he is still weeping for his father and mother, preparations are being made for his marriage, and he declares he does not want to get married and be a king, and that he is the unhappiest boy in Persia. But deinity in its onward march is sparer neither of man, woman nor child, and the little man must unbmit to have the life and freedom crushed out of him by his greatness. The fire loss in the United States and Canada during August, 1909, was $16,423,000, not particularly small, though it seems so in comparison with the fire loss of $22,123,000 in August, 1908, and of $30,248,000 in August, 1907. More favorable than ever, therefore, is this year's fire loss showing as compared with its predecessors—$138,065,950 for the first eight months, for the corresponding period of 1908, and $155,965,650 for that of 1907. Two reasons are given why King Manuel of Portugal may abandon his proposed visit to England. One is that the kaiser has grown resentful about it because Germany was not included in the itinerary. The other is that fear obtains that the royal mother might take advantage of the king's absence to assume authority his return, which would produce dangerous complications. Petty as anything Swift imagined in Lilust put the actualities or politics in any toy kingdom. The Interstate Commerce Commission has made an interesting ruling denying the right of railroad companies to issue commutation tickets to school children unless those tickets are open to all children of the ages specified. The commulsion says: "The commission's ruling does not prohibit the publication of commutation rates for children of specified ages, but merely holds that such rates must be open to all children within the ages stated in the tariff." The robbery of the Pennsylvania passenger train by a lone bandit, at a point 52 miles west of Harrisburg, suggests that there are lonely spots on all railroad lines in which highway men with nerve can ply their trade. But after the deed is done, the problem is to get away. The chances are more heavily against the Pennsylvania vanbra robber than they would be against a Montana or Idaho highway man with vast stretches of unoccupied country within easy reach. Fly high and get out of the wind was the lesson declared by a daring aviator at Rhelms. Indeed, he drew the parallel of the ship on the water that seeks the deep sea to escape the breakers on the coast. The inventor of the Clermont was not an idle dreamer. He believed in work. This was Robert Fulton's sentiment, as expressed by himself: "Industry will give abundance to a virtuous world, and call mankind to one unbounded feast of harmony and friendship." A French glassmaker has invented a kind of window glass that is bullet proof. Year by year there seems to be less inducement for boys to learn how to throw stones. The punishment of the necklace New York chained to who is prohibited by New York law from over driving, motor car within the limits of the state of New York is an example that may make other devilmay-care drives that of their chance for bread and butter when they are drugged or poisoned with humic acid. GRANE IS LET OUT MINISTER TO CHINA INFORMED HIS REGISTRATION WILL BE ACCEPTED. Denise Giving Cut Interview Containing State Secrets—Knox Bay Good of Service Demanded That Minister's Resignation Be Accepted. Washington. —By a demand from Secretary Knox Tuesday, for his resignation, Charles R. Crane of Chicago practically deposed as minister to Chicago. Thus a new chapter in American diplomacy was written. A citizen chosen with special regard for his qualifications for the post was recalled before he had embarked from San Francisco and discharged, from his high office because of alleged indirect disclosures through the press. Moreover, this, minister, breaking through all the old traditions, insisted on defending himself from the accusation of state by the issuance of a statement which most people here comment upon as certain to be very embarrassing to the administration. The history of this extraordinary affair, which began about a week ago with the announcement that Minister Crane had been stopped at San Francisco at the moment of embarkation for his post by a demand from Secretary Knox for his return to Washington, reached at least its first crisis when the secretary in a formal statement announced that Mr. Crane's resignation had been invited and the minister designate replied in an equally formal statement that while his resignation already had been tendered to the president, he felt himself very unjustly treated. Moreover, Mr. Crane in his statement reflected very clearly that he was in a state department, charging that not only had they refrained from giving him the instructions usually issued to a minister or ambassador about to leave for his post, but that he had been denied access to them even after he had made repeated appointments with them. He enters a sweeping denial of the charge that he "gave out" a newspaper story which is said to be the cause of his deposition, and places squarely upon the shoulders of President Taft the responsibility for the charge. He then unmounts garding conditions in the far east which have aroused the ire of Secretary Knox, and for final action upon his resignation. DETROIT WINS FOURTH GAME World Championship Series Now Stands Even—Tigers Outclassed Their Rivals.

POPEYE POPEYE POPEYE KEY WEST RUINED BY STORM KEY WEST RUINED BY STORM LOSS OF MILLIONS IS CAUSED BY A HURRICANE. Hundreds of Homes Wrecked and Martial Law is Proclaimed—Fear Many Are Dead. Key West, Fl. — This city is today a mass of ruins as a result of the hurricane which struck the southern coast of Florida Monday. The property damage is estimated at $2,000,000. The mayor has proclaimed martial law and local guards are guarding the city. The United States government has been asked to dispatch troops here without delay to assist in patrolling the storm-gwept area. Chaos reigns on every hand and few people remain in their homes, hundreds of which have been totally wrecked or damaged. It is impossible to say whether there has been loss of life, but it is thought that many lives have been claimed along the coast. It is known that many have received serious injury and unconfirmed reports are current that several lives have been lost. The storm reached its height at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the wind had an estimated velocity of 100 miles an hour. There was a hard, steady blow until four o'clock, when the center of the hurricane had passed this point. While the hurricane is the worst that Key West has ever experienced, the governor said that the indications are that the entire east coast of Florida will suffer terribly. Of 100 local vessels in the harbor but five remain at anchor, the others have either gone to sea or have been washed upon the caches. The streets along the water front are a mass of wreckage.

SENTENCE IS SUSTAINED Court of Appeals Decides C. W. Mores Must Serve Prison Term of Fif- teen Years. New York. — Unless the supreme court of the United States reverses the decision or the president of the United States interferes, Charles W. Morse, one-time "ice-king", coastwise steamship line organizer, banker and capitalist, will serve 15 years at hard labor in the federal prison at Atlanta, Ga. After having been at liberty under $125,000 ball since June 17 last, he is back in the Tombs prison, where he contemplates the decision rendered by the United States directive to guarantee the judgment of the lower federal court, which found him guilty in November last, of violating the national banking laws. There was solace in the decision of the court of appeals to day, however, in that only ten of the 53 indictments on which he was convicted were sustained, and on the strength of this, his counsel, Martin W. Littleton, immediately carry the case before the United States supreme court on a writ of certiorari.

CUDAHY CASE COMPROMISED Packing Company Fined for Violation of Internal Revenue Law—is Fined $5,000—Must Pay Back Taxes. Leavenworth, Kan. —The case against the Cudahy Packing Company for the violation of the internal revenue laws for failing to place stamps of proper denomination on packages of oleomargarine came to an end in the federal court here by a compromise when the packing company was fined $5,000 and agreed to pay a back stamp tax $2,777.75 and special tax of $1,000 for agencies, making the total of $7,777.50 to be paid by the packing company to the government. The Cudahy company was indicted by the federal grand jury in Topeka in April last on 695 counts. Samples of oleomargarine had been collected by the revenue department from every section of the United States. It was found that the company owned the oleomargarine, which should have subjected the company to a tax of ten cents a pound, and that it was disposed of as the uncolored product, upon which the revenue is but a quarter of a cent a pound.

SELLS POEM FOR DURIAL PLOT HAD NEITHER WIFE NOR CHILDREN TO BURY HIM. Legal Battle May Excuse Before Poor Can Rest in Poverty Poor chased Grave. New York. — Naphtali Hers. Imber, a Hebrew poet and Quatrain leader, who died here after a sudden attack of paralysis, probably will be buried in a grave which he bought in the 14th century in a 14-line poem in classic Hebrew. Legal documents found among Imber's papers told the story of this unusual barter of poetry for a burial plot. "As I have neither wife nor children to bury me," says a memorandum in the poet's handwriting, "I have entered into this contract, whereby my friend, Marcel Marcus, in consideration of a poem written by me and herewith conveyed to him, shall take charge of my body when I die and bury me in a plot which he has furnished." When "Marcus came to fulfill his contract he found that his right to take charge of the burial exercises of his body was fulfilled by the keeper of Galicians, who declared that lasminch as Imber had been born in Galicia theirs should be the honor of burying him and furnishing his grave. A legal battle may cause before the poet is laid to rest. Imber's death will be observed with a long period of mourning by many of New York's prominent East sliders. He was best known among the Jews of Jerusalem, where he was national hymn, which is chanted by Zionists throughout the world. STORM CAUSES HEAVY DAMAGE Worst Storm in Years Rages at Leech Lake, Minn.; Lives May Be Lost. Walker, Minn.—One of the worst storms in recent years is blowing over this section and Leech Lake is being lashed by a gale. The waves are running high, and fears are entertained for the 35-foot launch, Sarah L, which started out from here into the lake two days before the storm struck. Among those on board were several ladies. Nothing has been heard from the launch, but it is hoped that the crew found shelter in some of the bays. The waves have done much damage to numerous boat houses. The government dock is a total loss. A cement retaining wall 100 feet long has been demolished and many launches and the steamer Flora are out of the water. The Leech Lake Lumber Company has lost a large lot of logs, a large and a pile driver. The damage caused by the storm will amount to thousands of dollars. 17 MEN KILLED; 10 INJURED Santa Fe Freight Collides with Work Train—Most of Victims are Mexicans.

It is said the wreck was caused by the crew of the work train disregarding orders. SELLS GOLD TEETH FOR FARE Dentist, Out of Money, Makes Desperate Effort to Reach Beside of Mother. Kansas City, Mo. — After having traveled from Chicago on money earned from selling gold from his teeth, Dr. George Severs, a dentist, arrived here and departed for Denver on his way to San Francisco.

FOOD QUESTION Settled with Perfect Satisfaction by a Dyslexic. It's not an easy matter to satisfy all the members of the family at meal time as every housewife knows. And when the husband has dyspepsia and can't eat the simplest ordinary food without causing trouble, the food question becomes doubly annoying. An Illinois woman writes: "My husband's health was poor, he had no appetite for anything I could get for him, it seemed. "He was hardly able to work, was taking medicine continually, and as soon as he would feel better would go to work again only to give up in a 10-minute trouble. He suffered severely with stomach trouble. "Tired of everything I had been able to get for him to eat, one day seeing an advertisement about Grape-Nuts, I got some and tried it for breakfast the next morning. "We all thought it was pretty good although we had no idea of using it regularly. But when my husband came home at night he asked for Grape-Nuts. "It was the same next day and I had to get it right along, because when we would get to the table the question, 'Have you any Grape-Nuts was a reg- thing. So I began to buy it by the table.' "My husband's health began to improve right along. I sometimes felt offended when I'd make something I thought he would like for a change, and still hear the same old question, 'Have you any Grape-Nuts?' "He got so well that for the last two years he has hardly lost a day from his work, and we are still using Grape-Nuts." Read the book, "The Road to Wollville," in pgs. "There's a reason."

Wah, whose handsome $15,000 country home just nearing completion burned Saturday night, cut his throat and stabbed himself in the wrist Sunday evening. He was lying in a precarious condition Monday, his friends and physicians despairing of his life. The loss of the beautiful home and the terrible strain of saving the old home separated from the new one but the family was thrilled, a favorite daughter, who lay in the old home critically ill from pneumonia, proved too great a strain and his mind snapped. Saturday night the beautiful residence on North Marlon street was completely destroyed by a fire. His old residence in which the family still resided, only ten feet from the big new home, was saved only through the desperate efforts of a dozen of Mr. Wah's neighbors. In the home at the time of the fire, and the family compelled the men to work harder to repair Mr. Wah's sick daughter, Miss Catherine, who was in a critical condition from an attack of pneumonia. The new Wahl home was not yet completed. The erection had been going on since spring and if the house had been completed it would have been the finest country home in this part of the state. Junkin Hearing Soon. Des Moines.—John Junkin, self-confessed slayer of Miss Clara Rosen at attumwa, will have another chance for a before the lowa Supreme Court at its next session. A transcript of the evidence of the first trial before Judge M. A. Roberts of the district court, at Centerville has been submitted to Governor Carroll, as prescribed by the code in all cases where the death sentence is imposed. According to the statement of Judge Roberts, who was in the city attending a meeting of the directory board of the Yeomen, the hearing before the supreme court will be based entirely on the evidence in the transcript of the trial. It being claimed by Mr. Junkin's attorney, Judge J. C. Mitchell of Ottumwa, that the court's instructions to the jury were prejudiced by a statement made by the prosecuting attorney. The general belief is that there is little chance of the supreme court setting aside the sentence imposed by Judge Roberts, and that Junkin's prospects of escaping the gallows are slight. The fact that Junkin confessed his guilt in the Albia jail is perhaps the strongest hit of evidence against him, despite the fact that he denied the confession on the stand in the district court trial.

I started to use dandruff cures to no effect whatever. I had actually lost hope of saving any hair at all. I could brush it off my coat by the handful. I was afraid to comb it. But after using two cakes of Cuticura Soap and nearly a box of Cuticura Ointment, the change was surprising. My scalp is now clear and healthy as could be and my hair thicker than ever, whereas I had my mind made up to be bald. W. F.

A CLEVER PEN AND INK ARTIST Young Men Who Started an Drug Clerk Benoise Successful Designer. William H. Jackson of Arlington Height, a suburb of Boston, is receiving many battering compliments nowadays for the very excellent class of artist who he is doing as a pen and tatto artist. Mr. Jackson was educated at the public schools of Mast Lexington and Charlestown. He afterward wrested as clerk in the drug business, and later he took up drawing, studying awhile at the Eric Pope School of Art. Being naturally inclined, he progressed rapidly and is now employed by the Murdock Shaw company, designer of monumental tablets. He designed for the firm a large tablet I that was placed in a bowler erected in the center of the abolitionist grove at Abington, Mass., commemorating the deeds and work of Garrison, Sumner, Phillips and other noted men of that period. He makes poster pictures, designs and comic sketches for various papers, such as the Chelsea Evening Record, Boston Guardian and Mudlin Muster. He had a special order from Cole and Johnson of the "Red Moon" company for a large cartoon which is on exhibition at their studio in New York. He made some anatomical drawings for Dr. W. J. Daly, the well-known oculist of Carney hospital, Boston. These were so satisfactory that Dr. Daly pictured a book with drawings to be illustrated special lectures. Mr. Jackson also made the trademark for the Frederick Douglass Shoe company, which was accepted at the Washington patent office. Mr. Jackson is secretary of the Negro Art company, is composed of young men who are devoted to the study of the fine arts. Through the uniting efforts and encouragement of a white artist, Mr. Harry A. Irvis, Mr. Jackson believes that cartooning can be made a profitable business. To be made effective cartoons should be carefully "thought out" by the artist. It plainly follows, therefore, that its strong influential power with the public is in the hands of the editor, who necessarily must be high sense of humor that will give suggestive touch of action that has made cartoon popular.

Besides the Peary men at the dinner there were present members of the American Museum of Natural History and of the New York Academy of Sciences. All the party were asked to tell of their experiences, and the story of Henson was one of the most interesting of all the narratives. Editor Who Hustles For Results. Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, published at New Orleans, was in Washington en route to Philadelphia recently.

More than Enough is Too Much. To maintain health, a mature man or woman needs just enough food to repair the waste and supply energy and body heat. The habitual consumption of more food than is necessary for these purposes is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheumatism and disorders of the kidneys.

The I-L-U Grand Lodge 12.2 I-L-U Bldg, Blythe, Ohio THE ORIGINAL HAIR GROWER We Grew Our Hair. Now Let Us Grow Yours with PORO TRADE MARK INGISTERED. 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 thing 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 theirs 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 M. A. M. PORO.
