SMITH-BOWMER NUPTIALS. A Pretty Home Wedding. A wedding of considerable prominence in the social circles of Des Moines occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. David M. Bowmer, 933 W. Thirteenth street Dec, 29, 1909, when their daughter and only child Miss Ethel Marie was united in Marriage to Luther H Smith of New York. The ceremony was witnessed by guests numbering about fifty, who were received by the Misses Allen. Owing to the inability of the Rev. Daniels to be present, the ceremony was reformed by the Rev. Thomas L. Griffith, pastor of the Corinthian. The house was beautifully decorate with the holiday colors, red and green. Promptly at 9:20 o'clock, to the strains of the wedding march played by Miss Allen, the bride descended the stairs with her father and proceeded to the canopy, from the canopy of which was suspended a large white wedding bell, where she was met by the groom. The beautiful and impressive ing ceremony was used. The bride was becoming attired in a beautiful gown of white, hand embroidered french silk mull, with trimmed pearls and lace, and wearing the bridal veil. Her bouquet was of bride's roses. The groom was attired the conventional full dress. Following commendations the guests were unhered into the dining room where refreshments were served by Messrs. Baker Dixon and Finis Bledsoe; Mrs. W. H. Humbard catress. The bride has many friends in Des Moines where she has resided since three years of age.

In the passing of the old year we usually turn over a new leaf. Let us remember the achievements measured by the best of the Anglo-Saxon race. If I were to enumerate some of the race's great men in this article I would point you to Hannibal Toulssant L Overture, Dumas the great French novelist. S. Coleridge Taylor the English composer, Tanner the English poet, and Johnston as American statesman, but I am only to give the achievements of the race within the past year. Perhaps one of the most permanent and far-reaching achievements of the race in America is the fact that the past year there were more boys and girls attending the universities, colleges, Academic, normal and industrial schools, than ever in the history of the institution. The most important was the electing of a colored man, General Gomez, president of Cuba, who has brought peace and union in that troubled republic. Then the recent speeches being made in the heart of the South by Booker T. Washburn, the educator, has been productive. The last meeting of the National Business Men's League in Louisville, Ky., was effective in race building and uplifting. Then the recent Quadrillian Meeting of the Supreme Lodge of Knights Pythias at Kansas City, Mo., the special train from Virginia has an observation car called the Bankers' observation car, led by that intrepid race leader John J. Mitchell, Jr., and many other similar gatherings of national importance. The greatest achievement this year just ended was the calling of the darker races of the world in an international or World's Council to be held in Egypt during the spring and summer of 1912 for the purpose of a closer union and to consider all national and international questions; another very important achievement was the decision to shift the darker races of the shifter of Tennessee guilty of contempt by failing to protect the life of negro prison; hence the great strong arm of the supreme court put them behind the bars. Today one of the greatest talked of and most successful in his line of work is Jack Johnson, the shifter of the world, who is now matched for the world's championship with James Jeffries with more of our people entering the industrial and commercial pursuits can any one fail to see sure signs of permanent achievements. I could give you a hundred examples of the race have excelled the more favored Anglo brother in intellectual and commercial fields and other lines. Now let us be hopeful, and let our watchword be onward and upward to greater achievements. THE PASSING OF THE OLD AND THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. This week we bid farewell to the old year and good morning to the New Year. Another milestone has been reached and passed and we enter upon the new year. Ideas of human life and human endeavor. It is the broad-minded, level headed men and women who will achieve success in this new year—one who is willing to do unto his neighbor as he would that they should do unto him. While we believe the world is a place of great diversity, not there are great many, dark spots upon this terrestrial globe. Race prejudice and negro hatred in America, with selfish and greed in Europe, with militarism in Russia and France, with heathenism in parts of Asia and Africa are the same. This year, this year and century must meet and begin to solve. The solution may seem slow and hard, but not so if we begin right. If we only let reason, justice, equality and love be our guiding spirit then prejudice will vanish, right will be enthroned, just as we all strive to bring about these better things, and at the end of this new year we will be nearer this realization now.

Dillard President of the Negro Rural School Fund, will be asked to o pen the Worker's Conference discussion. For That Dull Feeling After Eating. I have used Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets for some time, and can testify that they have done me more good then any tablets I have ever used. My trouble was a heavy dull feeling after eating - David Freeman Kempt, Nova Scotia. These tablets strengthen the stomach and improve the digestion. They also regulate the liver and bowls. They are far superior to pills but costs no more. Get a tablet all atropine. And see what an ailment meddles it. Shirt Waist Makers' Strike Due to Uniformness of Subcontractors At a recent meeting of the Cosmopolitan club held in the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion church, Brooklyn, Miss Mary White Ortington, the noted settlement worker, presided. The meeting was in the interest of the shirt makeers' strike. Miss Dutcher, who was the first speaker, said: "This strike has been going on since last September. The real cause is due to the makeover by the head of the firm, but by subcontractors. One contractor sees fit to pay his girls $4 per week, while another will pay $15, and as on. "These workers number over 40,000 and among them we and italiana, American, Jews and some colored gris. They have the press and public opinion with them, and it is only a question of time or holding out a little longer. What we want to do is to influence the colored girls from taking part in the strike to their own detriment. When the strike opens, which is a question of time, the girls have joined the union they will be provided for." Annie Baker, one of the strikers, was the next speaker. She gave briefly her experience as a worker and told of the inhuman treatment accorded the girls in shirt waist factories. Bertha Burgars, another one of the strikers, told of the pretentious protection around the colored help employed. She said they had tried in every possible way to reach the colored girls in order to prevent them from becoming strike breakers, but on account of the fate protection thrown around them it is impossible. Miss Ovington told of how she had been elected from one of the factories. Mr. Mally, who for eight years has labored in the south as a miner, gave a full account of the strikes and strikers from his observation and experience. He said that he had learned that where Negroes obligate themselves and when they are once convinced against error they stand as firm as a man, for the same reason as the white man. He also said he was the first man to advocate colored men joining the union. "When it comes down to struggling for an existence," he said, "we are all the same, whether white or colored, for we are all struggling together." BROAD MINDED MINISTER. Rev. M. M. Mouzon, an Energiele Worker For Uplift of the Masses. At the recent Ace American con- ference of the M. E. church held at Or- angeburg. B. C., Rev. M. M. Mouzon, pastor of Centenary M. E. church, Charleston, S C., was conspicuous because of the great work he had done at his present charge. Dr. Mouzon is REV. M. M. MOUZON. a silent force which brings good results out of seeming impossibilities. For six years he served the denomination as presiding elder of the Greenville (S. C.) district. He not only served his church, but he manifested deep interest in the material advancement of his race and inspired many individuals to improve along lines that help to make a people industrially, intellectually, socially and religiously strong. Dr. Mounson is a product of Clarke university, and because of his ability as a scholar and knowledge of the needs of our young men and women along educational lines he is now one of the trustees of Clifton university and also of Sterling college. His success is due to his making an intelligence of the needs of the people and showing them how to overcome difficulties. Bishop's Council is Meet Jan. 12.

C. beginning Jan. 12, when business affecting the general interests of the denomination will be transacted. The bishops of the denomination are: Right Rev. J. W. Hood, P. R. Harris, Alexander Walters, G. W. Clinton, J. W. Alstork, J. W. Smith, J. S. Caldwell, G. L. Blackwell and A. J. Warner. Tendency of the Criminal White Man. The tendency of the Negro to run down criminals among his own people and hand them over to justice is as great as or greater than among other races. But the tendency of the criminal white man to take advantage of race prejudice and make some Negro the scapegoat of his crimes is proved by the many instances in which it is done—Springfield (III) Forum. Janitor's Heroism Save Many Lives. Heric work on the part of Washington Johnson, Afro-American jailor of the Rialto building, which was recently destroyed by fire caused by a gas explosion at Kansas City, Mo., saved scores of lives. Mr. Johnson's bravery on the above occasion is said to have been amazing in the extent to which he risked his own life to save the lives of other employees.

This country is now filled with people who migrate across the country in all directions seeking that which gold cannot buy. Nineteenth of them are suffering from throat and lung trouble or chronic catarrh resulting from neglected colds, and spending fortunes vainly trying to regain lost health. Could every sufferer but undo the past and cure that first neglected cold, all this sorrow, pain, anxiety and expense could have been avoided. Chamberlain's court Remedy is famous for its cures of cold, and can always be depended upon. Use it and the more serious disease may be avoided. For sale by all drugstores. Estimate of the American Negro Within recent years there has come to our nation a commanding greatness, reaching and influencing human thought and action to the uttermost parts of the earth. It has come through the valorous achievements of our soldiers on foreign soil and of our sailors on distant seas. In the winning of this new glory that now illumines the path of our national progress, in the opening of new and wider channels for the distribution of the products of our farms and factories, in the sharing of rich fruits of our wonderful war with Spain the Negro race has played its part with distinction to itself and with honor to the flag of our country. As we enter the portals of inevitable fate and assume our position as leader among the nations of the world we may well waime for a moment and pay a just tribute to our black brothers, whose gallant conduct in the Spanish-American war has added new interest to the pages of our national library. The liberated under Abraham Lincoln became liberators under William McKinley. The Negro should not feel sensitive upon the subject of slavery, for it has been the condition at one time or another of most of the human race from a period so remote that we knew of it by both tradition and legend before it became recorded history. The Negro is not a "problem" He is God in his own image with a mission to perform. The trouble is white men do not seem to know the Negro, and not knowing him, they judge him by false standards and attribute to him mental and moral limitations which do not exist. The white man has failed to observe the slow, steady, sure advancement of the Negro. Silently the Negro has been widening his sphere. The white man needs to but have his prejudices against the Negro cantered by truth and his great ignorance of the intellectual and industrial achievements of the Negro blond race. Amounts of facts and figures to become the warm advocate of the Negro's rights and privileges. A study of the progress of the Negro reveals him in a new light, and from passively tolerating him we begin to champion his cause and to seek his advancement. The more we learn of the ambitions and aspirations of the Negro the more absurd becomes the schemes of deportation, repatriation, absorption by intermarriage and other political and physical nohrums for the solution of the so called "problem," which at regular intervals are seriously presented for our consideration. During the Spanish-American war the Negro soldiers who fought at San Juan, Siboney and Santiago covered themselves with glory and advanced their race in favor and regard among their countrymen. If any fear is entertained that the Negro may be unable to enter the charmed circles of art, Edmonia Lewis, known on two continents as a famed sculptor, who chiseled a bust of Colonel Shaw, Longfellow and John Brown, "The Death of Cleopatra," "The Old Arow Maker and His Daughters," "The Marriage of Hiawatha," and "Hair in the Wilderness," and "The Raising of Lazarus," the son of the eminent Bishop Tanner, points to his "Daniel in the Lion's Den," to his "Annunciation" and to "The Raising of Lazarus." In these paintings we see expressed a genius and an art that have won the applause of nations. In 1897 "The Raising of Lazarus" for Mr. Tanner the third prize in the salon of Paris. The French government bought from Mr. Tanner "The Raising of Lazarus," that it might be preserved in the museum of Luxemburg. True art bows at the feet of genius without consulting geographical boundaries; think the Negro has no genius for mechanics he tells us that Biddle university was built by a Negro. Massive bridges, spacious residences and many imposing public buildings in all sections of the United States are the products of his thrift and industry. Patients have been issued to Negroes for locomotive smokestacks, fire extinguishers, cotton cultivators, life preservers, rotary engines; ventilators for railroad cars, automatic railroad switches, telephone transmitters and fire extinguishers, fire extinguishers, fire extinguishers. If we think the language of the stars and planets unintelligible to the Negro we point to Benjamin Hanneker, the great Negro astronomer. In 1861 in New York Wendell Phillips in closing a stirring lecture upon Touissant L'Overture did so with this superb sentence: "When truth gets a hearing the muse of history will put Phocion for the Greek, Brutus for the Roman, Hampton for England, Lafayette for France, choose, Washington as the bright consummate flower of her earlier civilization and John Brown as the ripe fruit of her noodon, and then, dipping her pen in the sunlight, will write in the clear blue above them all the name of the soldier, the statesman, the martyr, Touissant L'Overture."

SMITH-BOWMER NUPTIALS. A Pretty Home Wedding. A wedding of considerable prominence in the social circles of Des Moines occurred at the home of Mr. and Mrs. David M. Bowmer, 983 W. Thirteenth street Dec, 29, 1909, when their daughter and only child Miss Ethel Marie was united in Marriage to Luther H. Smith of New York. The ceremony was witnessed by guests numbering about fifty, who were received by the Misses Allen. Owing to the inability of the Rev, Daniels to be present, the ceremony was reformed by the Rev. Thomas L. Griffith, pastor of the Corinthian. The house was beautifully decorate with the holiday colors, red and green. Promptly at 9:20 o'clock, to the strains of the wedding march played by Miss Allen, the bride descended the stairs with her father and proceeded to the canopy, from the canopy of which was suspended a large white wedding bell, where she was met by the groom. The beautiful and impressive. ing ceremony was used. The bride was becoming attired in a beautiful gown of white, hand embroidered french silk mull, with trimming of pearls and lace, and wearing the bridal veil. Her bouquet was of bride's roses. The groom was attired the conventional full dress. Following some traditions the guests were ushered into the dining room where refreshments were served by Mesara. Baker Dixon and Finis Bledsoe; Mrs. W. H. Humburd catress. The bride has many friends in Des Moines where she has resided since three years of age. She is an accomplished young woman and a musician worthy of note, being one of the best accompanist in this part of the state. See will be sadly missed in the St. Paul A. M. E. church that she has held the position of organist for seven years. The groom, it will be remembered was here two years ago in interest of the Metropolitan Mercantile Realty Co. of New York. At that time he made many lasting friends, among whom was Miss Boamer, and their acquaintance ripened in a friendship, which terminated in his coming now to claim her as his bride. Mr. and Mrs. Smith expect to leave for New York about January 10, where they will be at home to their friends after February 1st. The best wishes of all accompany them, and may God ever breathe a blessing upon these two souls with but a single thought. "Two hearts beat as one."

Now, let us review the race achievements as measured by the best of the Anglo-Israeli race, and some of the race's great men in this article I would point you to Hannibal Touissant L Overture, Dumas the great French novelist, S. Coleridge Taylor the English composer, Tanner in art, or Douglass, Bruce and Langston Hughes. In order to only give the achievements of the race within the past year. Perhaps one of the most permanent and far-reaching achievements of the race in America is the fact that the past year there were more boys and girls attending the universities, colleges, Academic, normal and Industrial schools, and the race. Another important achievement was the electing of a colored man, General Gomes, president of Cuba, who has brought peace and union in that troubled republic. Then the recent speeches being made in the heart of the South by Booker T. Washburn, the educator, has been productive. The last meeting of the National Business Men's League in Louisville, Ky., was effective in race building and uplifting. Then the recent Quadrillental Meeting of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Athletics at Kansas City, Mo., the National Educator, has special train from Virginia has an observation car called the Bankers observation car, led by that intrepid race leader John J. Mitchell, Jr., and many other similar gatherings of national importance. The greatest achievement this year just ended was the calling of the darker races of the world in an international or World's Council to be held in Egypt during the spring and summer of 1912 for the purpose of a closer and international question; another very important achievement was the decision of the team of the deaf brim of Team的美洲 quality of death by failing to protect the life of negro prison; hence the great strong arm of the supreme court put them behind the bars. Today one of the most talked of and most successful in his line of work is Jack Johnson, the first negro champion heavyweight of the world's championship with James Jeffries with more of our people entering the industrial and commercial pursuits can any one fail to see sure signs of permanent achievements. I could give you a hundred examples this year where individuals among the world's championship in intellectual and commercial fields and other areas. Now let us be hopeful, and let our watchword be onward and upward to greater achievements. THE PASSING OF THE OLD AND THE BEGINNING OF THE YEAR. This week we bid farewell to the old year and good morning to the New Year. Another milestone has been reached and passed and we enter upon the new year with ideas of human life and human endeavor. It is the broad-minded, level headed men and women who will achieve success in this new year—one who is willing to do unto his neighbor as he would that they should do unto him. While we believe the need for this is great, we set that there are great many dark spots upon this terrestrial globe. Race prejudice and negro hatred in America, with selfish and greed in Europe, with militarism in Russia and France, with heathenism in parts of Asia and Africa are the greatest obstacles this year and century must meet and begin to solve. The solution may seem slow and hard, but not so if we begin right. If we only let reason, justice, equality and love be our guiding spirit then prejudice will vanish, right will be enthroned, justice will be restored and all will strive to bring about these better things, and at the end of this new year we will be nearer this realization than now.

I have used Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets for some time, and can testify that they have done me more good then any tablets I have ever used. My tremble was a heavy dull feeling after eating - David Freeman Kempt, Nova Scotia. These tablets strengthen the stomach and improve the digestion. They also regulate thier liver and bowls. They are far superior than any other medicine. I have a free sample at all dengists and see what a splendid medicine it is. ONENESS OF THE STRUGGLE Shirt Waist Makers' Strings Due to Unfairness of Subcontractors At a recent meeting of the Cosmopolitan club held in the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion church, Brooklyn, Mary W. White Orington, the noted settlement worker, presided. The meeting was in the interest of the shirt waist makers' strike. Miss Dutcher, who was the first speaker, said: "This strike has been made on since last March that the girls are not employed by the head of the firm, but by subcontractors. One contractor sees it to pay his girls $4 per week, while another will pay $5, and so on. "These workers number over 40,000 and among them we find Italians, Americans, Jews and some colored girls. They have the press and public opinion with them, and it is only a question of time or holding out a little longer. What we want to do is to influence the colored girls from taking part in the strike movement. When the strike causes, which it must do, then if the colored girls have joined the union they will be provided for." Annie Baker, one of the strikers, was the next speaker. She gave briefly her experience as a worker and told of the inhuman treatment accorded the girls in shirt waist factories. Bertha Burgis, another one of the strikers, told of the pretentious protection around the colored help employed. She said they had tried in every possible way to reach the colored girls in order that they might influence them against becoming strike breakers, but on account of the fake protection thrown around them it is impossible. been elected from one of the factories. Mr. Mally, who for eight years has labored in the south as a miner, gave a full account of the strikes and strikers from his observation and experience. He said that he had learned that where Negroes obligate themselves and when they are once convinced against error they stand as firm as a rock and that they are as true as steel. He also said he was the first man to color a colored man in a cotton. "When it comes down to struggling for an existence," he said, "we are all the same, whether white or colored, for we are all struggling together." BROAD MINDED MINISTER. Rev. M. M. Mouzon, an Energetic Worker For Uplift of the Masses. At the recent Afro-American conference of the M. E. church held at Orangeburg, S. C., Rev. M. M. Mouzon, pastor of Centenary M. E. church, Charleston, S. C., was conspicuous because of the great work he had done at his present charge. Dr. Mouzon is REV. M. M. MOUNON. a silent force which brings good results out of seeming impossibilities. For six years he served the denomination as presiding elder of the Greenwich (V. C.) district. He not only served his church, but he manifested deep respect for his work of his race and inspired many individuals to improve along lines that help to make a people industrially, intellectually, socially and religiously strong. Dr. Mounon is a product of Clarke university, and because of his ability as a scholar and knowledge of the needs of our young men and women along education, he is a professor of Clash university and also of Sterling college. His success is due to his making an intelligent study of the needs of the people and showing them how to overcome difficulties. the hospital bureau of the council of bishopse of the A. M. E. Zion church will be held, at Greenboro, N. C. beginning Jan. 12, when business affecting the general interests of the denomination will be transacted. The bishops of the denomination are: Right Rev. J. W. Hood, P. R. Harris, Alexander Walters, G. W. Clinton, J. W. Alstork, J. W. Smith, J. S. Caldwell, G. L. Blackwell and A. J. Warner. Tendency of the Criminal White Man. The tendency of the Negro to run down criminals among his own people and hand them over to justice is as great as or greater than among other races. But the tendency of the criminal white man to take advantage of race prejudice and make some Negro the scapegoat of his crimes is proved by the many instances in which it is done—Springfield (III.) Forum. Janitor's Heroism Saved Many Lives. Heroic work on the part of Washington Johnson, Afro-American janitor of the Rialto building, which was recently destroyed by fire caused by a gas explosion at Kansas City. Johnson's bravery on the above occasion is said to have been amazing in the extent to which he risked his own life to save the lives of other employees.

Twelve months of happiness and prosperity hoped for Happy New Year. Goodbye, old year of 1909. The arrival of the new year was welcomed at midnight by the shooting of guns and the opening of the museums just before, and just after the clock had struck the hours the booming of shot-guns and revolvers could be heard. The old year slipped away and the new one came in without any undue excitement. The death of 1909 was a peaceful and quiet one and gently. Many social events were held the day before the closing time for dancing by many, while others were sitting up and watching the coming of another year. The weather was cold and snow deep. It was the case this season of "full knee deep lies the winter snow; the old year is dying." Mrs. F. Williams very pleasantly entertained at New Year's dinner a number of the referees of honor of her daughter Mrs. A. Harris of St Paul. A fine time was reported. Mrs. F. D. Bland received the sad news of the death of her brother, Henry Vaughn of Seattle, Washington. The news came New Year's day; it has not been publicly announced, but the body will be brought to Keokuk or not. Mrs. Lena Porter of Cincinnati, O, is in the city the guest of Mrs. George Coleman. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Shortridge very pleasantly entertained at dinner Sunday in honor of her sister, Mrs. A. Harris of St. Paul, Minn., and brother George Bland of Watertown, Ill. Miss Kittie Brookes very pleasantly entertained and on New Year's day, the Whist Coterea Club at her home on Twelfth and Orleans street. Whist was indulged in until a late hour, after which a very dainty luncheon was served by the hostess. Everyone left declaring Miss Brooks a royal entertainer. Ill Health is More Expensive Than any Cure. This country is now filled with people who migrate across the country in all directions seeking that which gold cannot buy. Nineteenth of them are suffering from throat and lung trouble or chronic catarrh resulting from neglected colds, and spending fortunes vainly trying to regain lost health. Could every sufferer but undo the past and cure that first neglected cold, all this sorrow, pain: anxiety and expense could have been avoided. Chamberlain's pouch Remedy is famous for its cures of colds, and can always be depended upon. Use it and the more serious disease may be avoided. For sale by all druggists. Estimate of the American Negro Estimate of the American Negro Within recent years there has come to our nation a commanding greatness, reaching and influencing human thought and action to the uttermost parts of the earth. It has come through the valorous achievements of our soldiers on foreign soil and of our sailors on distant seas. In the winning of this new glory that now illumines the path of our national progress, in the opening of new and wider channels for the distribution of the products of our farms and factories and in the acquiring of all the goods we need, the wonderful war with Spain the Negro race has played its part with distinction to itself and with honor to the flag of our country. As we enter the portals of inevitable fate and assume our position as leader among the nations of the world we may well pause for a moment and pay a just tribute to our black brothers, whose gallant conduct in the Spanish-American war has added new interest to the pages of our national history. The liberated under Abraham Lincoln became liberators under William McKinley. The Negro should not feel sensitive upon the subject of slavery, for it has been the condition at one time or another of most of the human race from a period so remote that we knew of it by both tradition and legend before it became recorded history. The Negro is not a "problem." He is a man made by God in his own image with a mission to perform. The trouble is white men do not seem to know the Negro, and, not knowing him, they judge him by false standards and attribute to him mental and moral limitations which do not exist. The white man has failed to observe the slow, steady, sure advancement of the Negro, and he has been demeaning his sphere. The white man needs to have his prejudices against the Negro catered to by truth and his great ignorance of the intellectual and industrial achievements of the Negro blasted by the dynamite of facts and figures to become the warm advocate of the Negro's rights and privileges. A study of the progress of the Negro reveals him in a new light, and from passively tolerating him we begin to champion his cause and to seek his advancement. The more we learn of the ambitions and aspirations of the Negro the more unlucky, because the mission of deportation, repatriation, absorption by intermarriage and other political and physical nohrs for the solution of the so called "problem," which at regular intervals are seriously presented for our consideration. During the Spanish-American war the Negro soldiers who fought at San Juan, Siboney, and San Diego were the first to raise their race in favor and regard among their countrymen. If any fear is entertained that the Negro may be unable to enter the charmed circles of art, Edmona Lewis, known on two continents as a famed sculptor, who chiseled a bust of Colonel Shaw, Longfellow and John Brown, "The Death of Cleopatra," and "The Death of the Daughter," and "Daughter," "The Marriage of Hawiata," and "Hagar In the Wilderness," dispels our fears, while Henry O. Tanner, son to the eminent Bishop Tanner, points to his "Daniel in the Lion's Den," to his "Annunciation" and to his "The Raising of Lazarus." In these paintings we see expressed a genius and an art that have won the applause of nations. in 1897 "The Raising of Lazarus" for Mr. Tanner, and in 1901 in Paris. The French government bought from Mr. Tanner "The Raising of Lazarus," that it might be preserved in the museum of Luxemburg. True art bows at the feet of genius without consulting geographical boundaries or racial peculiarities. If we think the Negro has no genius for mechanics he tells us that Biddle university was built by a Negro. Massive bridges, spacious residences and many imposing public buildings in all sections of the United States are the products of his thrift and industry. Patents have been issued to Negroes for locomotive smokestacks, the extinguishers, cotton cultivation and construction for railroad cars, automatic railroad switches, telephone transmitters and for many other useful and valuable devices. If we think the language of the stars and planets unintelligible to the Negro we point to Benjamin Hanneker, the great Near astronomer. In 1861 in New York Wendell Phillips in closing a stirring lecture upon Toussaint L'Ouverture did so with this superb sentence: "When truth gets a hearing the muse of history will put Phocion for the Greek, Brutus for the Roman, Hampton for England, Lafayette for France, choose Washington as the bright consummate flower of her earlier civilization and John Brown as the ripe fruit of her noonday, and then, dipping her pen in the sunlight, will write in the clear blue above them all the name of the soldier, the statesman, the martyr. Toussaint L'Ouverture." MADAM S. JACKSON Madam S. Jackson and M. F. Ward are on the sick list. Mary, M. E. Harris and children returned from Colfax Thursday of this week.

The Christmas holidays are now a thing of the past, social functions are forgotten and humanity has taken up the duties of daily toll once again. We are the grasp of an amateur-fashioned snowball, setting in writing that each day has certain our share and a little bit more of the article this winter. The program rendered Christmas eve at Bethel A. M. E. church by the scholars of the great deal of praise. Every number was heartily enclosed, the exercises closed with the distribution of presents from a well laden tree. Emerson visited in Chicago recently the gift of an onion.

On last Tuesday the end message of the death of Fred D. Jackson was received from the hospital at Clarinda, where he had been taken about two years ago to be cured, but of no avail, Mr F. D. Jackson was one of the best doctors in the hospital, respected our city. He had been used on the fire department longer and was considered the best driver and fireman in the state for more than twenty years. He had faithfully and punctually served his city with honor and himself and race with credit. He was born August 9, 1860, in Memphis, Tenn., came to city thirty years ago; married twenty-one years later; and served as a sided. He leaves wife and two children to mourn his loss. The remains were brought from Clarinda and funeral services held from the A.M. E. church, of which he was a member. He was an active member of North Star Lodge No. 2, A. F. and A. M., also the Chapter and Commandery, who had charge body, and was buried at usual Masonic honors Friday afternoon. Mrs. Anne Mitchell died at the home of her son, James Mitchell, 1421 Park street. Saturday after an illness of three weeks. She was a highly respected by all who knew her. The funeral exercises were held from the Corinthian Baptist church, conducted by Rev. T. L.

Now for a gun that will put the alright destroyer out of business. European rulers are cutting merry capers. Capers often jar thrones. Castro to Zeliays: "I'd rather be outside looking in than inside looking out." Maybe the bread trust kneads theough. A Philadelphia pastor is using girls as ushers. A clever scheme to get the men to church. That order to the ice man to begin his daily calls again may now be countermanded. "Noted Painting in Sult" says a headline. We have seen a lot of paintings that weren't. Auto racing, deer hunting and football come in for similar censure. But the harvest goes merrily on. Storms on sea and land prove that the wintry winds still laugh at man's puny efforts to withstand them. A college president wants to put a ban on spooning. Suppose he would use Lovers' lane for a cattle drive. The "deer season" is ended and deer may browse in peace, not being called to witness hunters shoot down each other. The young king of Portugal, who did a wooing go, failed to win an English bride. But he had plenty of fun by way of compensation. The ultimate consumer may be pardoned for the opinion that the exclusion not ought to be extended to cover those eggs from China. Now that the football and hunting seasons are over, there won't be so much work for the undertaker, but a better outlook for the census taker. Although those Chicago girls have been refused permission to sell kisses for charity, there is no law that can prevent them from giving them away. Berlin has just heard a "Zeppelin" symphony with an auto horn as an instrument. As the airship is destroyed it is presumed the wind section dominated. The United States manufactures $350,000,000 worth of shoes every year, and this doesn't take into consideration the fact that many people still wear boots. Art should be not only welcomed, but also invited. Art wandering about seeking for a home is not a creditable spectacle for any up-to-date community to be proud of. We learn from one of the trade journals that noiseless street car wheels will soon be in use. The world would go crazy with joy if anything like that were to happen. Thieves in Amsterdam, N. Y., have a sense of humor peculiar to the American temperament. They lately looted the offices of the district attorney, situated in the police department. The authorities of Washington have ordered the banishment of roosters from the city. In view of the experience of ancient Rome the goose will be permitted to remain in the swim at the capital. The man who as engineer ran the John Bull, the first railroad locomotive brought to this country, before American engine buildings had 'caught him dead'. Those were the days of small things in railroads. But what a transformation had been wrought within the span of this one man's life! The government has not raised the price of dolls, which will rejoice the hearts of the little ones. It has officially, been decided dolls are not toys. Evidently, they are to be treated as necessities of life, for what is life to the little future mothers of the country without their dolls to nourish the maternal instinct? Ida Lewis, the well-known life-saving lightkeeper on Lime rock, off Newport, has been made an honorary life member of the Newport Yacht club and is the first and only women member of that organization. The latter fact is remarkable, as yacht skippers in eastern waters include many women who are experts at the helms of sloops and schooners. There are also women owners of yachts and the Newport Yacht club must be an exceptional organization with its almost excelsively male membership. Perhaps women got the habit of reading the last page of a novel first from receiving love letters and having a natural desire to find out whom they could be from. The most tangible evidence of bad luck in connection with that Hope diamond comes from a man in Paris who, after the jewel was reported to have rived McGinty, comes forward to remark mournfully that he has it having been deceived into paying hard cash for it, and being unable to work it off on anyone else. Belgium is to protest to the newsaper of the world against attacks on the administration of the Congo. It would be a better and easier way is the end to show the press of the world that these attacks are unfounded. The American farmer, speaking colloquially and with that $8,000,000,000 worth of products in mind, is the real owner of industry in this country. Every other form of enterprise, in fact, how large and impressive, looms small alongside that most agricultural local. SALOONS OUSTED Onawa City Council Refuses to Grant Licenses. Onawa, Ia., Jan. 7.—As a culmination to the war waged wage for the past month, the city council refused to grant licenses to the four saloons of the town and the lid is on. All but one saloon had been closed to which a short time ago was granted a permit to run for another year, but the council revoked this one also. A petition signed by 75 per cent of the business men of the town and a large number of the citizens was presented to the council it to close the saloons indefinitely. A majority of the voters of every ward of the town with the exception of one, which was a tie, was attached to the petition. The vote stood 6 to 2 in every case except one. An ordinance was also passed prohibiting the maintaining of card tables in the pool and billiard parlor. This is the first time that Onawa has been dry for several years. The tabernacle meetings just closed conducted by W. H. Bromley, have awakened great interest in the community and the drys have accomplished the task of helping to do for years. Those asking licenses for another year were J. A. Cody, Amos Heitman, M. M. Wise and Frank Wise. Honor for Girl Teacher. Council Bluffs—Miss Charlotte Dryden of this city was elected county superintendent of public instruction by the board of supervisors. Miss Dryden at present and for the past year has been principal of the city schools of Gilden. She has accepted the appointment and has filed her bond. Prof. M. E. Crosier of Avoca, who was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Supt. E. R. Jackson, declined. Miss Dryden is well known among the members of the state teachers' association.

Don't Weep At Letter in the Rivet Keg. There have been romances and romances, but the latest undoubtedly is the romance of a keg of steel rivets. The outcome of this is being eagerly awaited by 150 men employed at the plant of an iron company at Conshocken. The keg arrived at the plant yesterday. When the head was off the workman was surprised to see on top of the commonplace rivets an envelope addressed in a pretty, girlish hand, "To the one who opens this keg." The ironworker called a comrade or two and they opened the note and read, written on a dainty bit of paper, a few sentences which asked the finder to communicate with the writer. A girl's name was signed at the bottom, above an address in a Massachusetts town. The finder of the note told others about it and they in turn spread the news until nearly every one at the plant heard it. One hundred and fifty men wrote to the fair correspondent last night, some sending letters and others picture postcards—Philadelphia Public Ledger. Increased Price of Elk Teeth. "During the last five years the value of elk teeth has more than trebled," said a western traveler at the Frederic, according to the St. Paul Dispatch. "In 1904 you could get any number of fine specimens in Idaho, Montana, Washington and bordering states for $2.50 spice. Now you will pay from $7.50 to $10, and they are hard to even event, even Apache, Sloux, Stout, and Chippewa Indians used to have dozens of them in their possession and traded them for trinkets. But the redakin got wise to their value, and you can buy them from a regular dealer cheaper now than from the Indian. The passing of the elk and the great demand made by the members of the Elk lodge for teeth for emblems have boosted the patrol. The traveler recited an incident of an Oklahomaan who bought a robe covered with elk teeth from a Wichita Indian for $100. He cut off the teeth and cleaned up $2,200 on the deal. Happiness in marriage would be more prevalent if a man would handle his wife as tenderly and carefully as he does an old brider pipe. Some people swell up on "emotional" brewed from absolute untruth. It's an old trick of the leaders of the Labor Trust to twist facts and make the "sympathetic ones" "weep at the ice house." (That's part of the tale further on.) m and defy its al勇气 at spit up, and defy our courts, seeking sympathy by falsely telling the people the courts were trying to deprive them of free speech and free press. Men can speak freely and print opinions freely in this country and no court will in object, but they cannot be forced and our courts, by criminal conspiracy to injure and ruin other citizens. Gompers and his trust associates started out to ruin the Bucks Stove Co., drive its hundreds of workmen out of work and destroy the value of the plant without regard to the fact that workers who worked had been invested there. The conspirators were told by the courts to stop these vicious "trust" methods, (efforts to break the firm that won't come under trust rule), but instead of stopping they "dare" the courts to punish them in such destructive and tyrannical acts as they may desire to do. * * * The reason Gompers and his band persisted in trying to rink the Bucks Stove Works was because the stove company insisted on the right to keep some old employees at work when "de union" or "de gang" was inscribed and some of "de gang" put on. Now let us reverse the conditions and have a look. Suppose the company had ordered the union to dismiss certain men from their union, and, the demand being refused, should institute a boycott against the union, punish them in their list, and other manufacturers all over the United States not to buy the labor of that union, have committees call at stores and threaten to boycott if the merchants sold anything made by that union. The union would work and slug them on the way home, blow up their houses and wreck the works, and even murder a few members of the boycotted union to teach them they must obey the orders of "organized Capital." It would also be fair for the company to do these things if lawful for the Labor Trust to do them. In such a case, under our laws the boycotted union could apply to our courts and the courts would order the company to cease boycotting and to pose thereupon the company should sneer at the court and in open defence continue the unlawful acts in a persistent, carefully laid out plan, purposefully intended to ruin the union and to prevent it from happening. What a howl would go up from the union demanding that the courts protect them and punish their law-breaking oppressors. Then they would praise the courts and go on earning a living protection. In this way the judge agreed that the people's courts could defend them. How could any of us receive protection from law-breakers unless the courts have power to; and do punish such men? The court is placed in position where it must do one thing or the other—punish men who persist in defying its peace order or go out of service, let them go, and make more powerful destroy the weaker. Peaceful citizens sustain the courts as their defenders, whereas thieves, forgers, burglaries, crooks of all kinds and violent members of all unions, are the targets of their members are punished for breaking the law. They want the courts to let them go free and at the same time demand punishment for other men "outside de unions when they break the law." They want the acces to "violent" members of labor unions. The great majority of the "unbound" union men are peaceful. The Ice House. Boy's Lusky Find. A remarkable book laid by a poor Jewish youth in Whitechapel, London, England, is reported, which argues an eye for books and a business intelligence of a high order. He bought for a cent from a barrow in Mile End Road a copy of Goethe's poem, enriched with Trackeray's signature and crest and a number of his illustrations, without the book. The covers were in bad condition, but the pages were clean. The youth had the shrewdness to make the most of his find himself, and after many negotiations he has now sold the volume for about $100. French Taxes. According to statistics of taxes, while there were 94,122 billard tables in France in 1892, in 1906 there were only 89,230, whereas if the game were holding its own the number should have increased as the children grew to billard playing age. The decadence of the game, which has had famous volatiles, is ascribed to the success of outdoor sports, and especially to the intense and widespread interest now taken in motoring.—Vogue.

It was it at the late Toronto convention. The paid delegates would applaud and "resolute" as Gompers wanted, but now and then some of the real work sometimes at the risk of their lives.

Mr. Burns expressed his confidence in courts in general assembly of the District of Columbia in particular. APPROVED BY DELEGATES. This rebuke by Burns was in his annual report to the general assembly of his organization. He received the rebuke and heard it read at their annual meeting in this city. "There is no trust or combination of capital in the world," said Mr. Burns, "that violates laws oftener than do the trust labor organizations, which resort to the use of unreliable methods toward their competitors than any trust or combinations in the country." Mr. Burns said the action of "these cases" was not unusual for years to come whenever attempts were made to obtain labor legislation. "The Labor Digest," a reputable workingman's paper, says, as part of a study by the end of Gompersism, many organizations becoming tired of the rule-or rule policies which have been enforced by the president of the A. F. of L. "That he has maintained his leadership for so long a time in the face of his stubborn clinging to policies which the more thoughtful workingmen have been able to resist, he has been on account partly of the sentimental feeling on the part of the organizations that he ought not to be deposed, and the unwillingness of the men who were mentioned for the place, to accept a nomination in opposition to the president, and denying the threwness of the leader of the A. F. of L., and his political sagacity, which has enabled him to keep a firm grip on the machinery of the organization, and to have his faithful help in the work, could do him the most good whenever their services might be needed.

"There is no doubt but what organized labor in this country would be much stronger than it is, in dealing with conditions as they actually exist, and who would bring to the front the new policies which organized labor must adopt if it expects to even maintain its present standing, to something of making future programs.

No movement, no organization, no nation can develop beyond the intellects which guide these organizations, and if the leaders are dominated by a selfish motive the organization has a spirit of selfishness, which has never appealed to mankind in any walk of life at any time since history began. "This must have forced itself upon the leaders of the Federation by this time. If it has not, the leaders must have been forced to see that they head have done many meritorious things in times past and the people are always ready and willing to acknowledge the benefits which their efforts have brought to their constituency as a result of their efforts in the organizations in general, and the Federation of Labor in particular, stand before the bar of public opinion, having been convicted of selfishness and being the country in the interest of the few.

The great 90 per cent of Americans do not take kindly to the acts of tyranny of these trust leaders openly demanding that all people bow down to the rules of the bosom of the mob. They are the hottest and the hottest specie of our Congress and the chief Executive entertaining these convicted law-breakers and listening with consideration to their insolent demands that the very laws be changed to allow them to carry on their gaming control over the affairs of the people. The sturdy workers of America have come to know the truth about these "martyrs sacrificing themselves in the hysterical ones who swell up and cry over the aforesaid "heroes," reminding one of the two romantic elderly men who, weeping copiously, were disrespected or of a jonathon "serious" what?

If you have any surplus sympathy it can be extended to the honest workers who continue to earn food when then emed and are frequent in the courts can intervene to protect them. Now the Labor Trust leaders demand of Congress that the courts be stripped of power to issue injunctions to prevent them from assaulting cows murdering men who dare cows weep in the courts by the Labor Trust to quit work.

At what price? What buy! What not to buy! What to vote for! How much you shall pay per month in fees to the Labor Trust! This power is now being demanded by the passage of laws in Congress.

BOY TORTURED BY ECZEMA "When my boy was six years old, he suffered terribly with eczema. He could neither sit still nor lie quietly in bed, for the itching was dreadful. He would irritate spots by scratching with his nails and that only made them worse. A doctor treated him and we tried almost everything, but the eczema seemed to spread. It started in a small place on the lower extremities and spread for two years until it very nearly covered the back part of his leg to the knee. "Finally I got Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and gave them according to directions. I used them in the morning and that examined before I put my boy to bed. I used them again and the improvement even in two hours was surprising, the inflammation seemed to be so much less. I used two boxes of Cuticura Ointment, the Pills and the Soap and the boy was cured. My son is now in his seventeenth year and he has never had a return of the eczema. "I took care of a friend's child that had acroma on its face and limbs and I used the Cucurcua Soap and Ointment. They acted on the child just as they did on my son and it has never returned.

Martindale has been named as the new postmaster and will take office April 1. He succeeds W. S. Gardner who has held the office three terms. SILHOUETTES OF WESTERN CANADA The man from Iowa began to talk land before the train was well out of the C. N. R. depot in Winnipeg. The talk began in rather wide circles. The rush to the land, the bumper crop, the system of summer fallow pursued in the semi-arid districts, were all discussed, and then, with a sort of apologetic smile, the Iowa man said: "I'm a bit interested in this country myself. Some of the men down home have sections up here along this line, and I going to have a look at them. We go up in Canada before"—(it is curious western Americans pronounce the name of the Dominion as if it was 'Can d'x')—"but if it looks good we will be up to stay next fall." "You see, it's like this," said the man from Iowa—quite manifestly continuing an argument that had been going on in his mind for some time. "Back in our State land has become hard. Anybody wanting to sell can get $70 or $80 an acre for it, and that offered is snapped up. In St. Louis we have just as good land that does us $11 and $12, so that a man can come in at times as much there as in Iowa on the same investment of money. "It isn't the money, though, that brings most of us up from Iowa. I'm not sure that money would be enough. The 'invasion' is a family affair. We have no chance of keeping our sons around us back home. They have to leave the farm and go into the big cities of the neighboring States to get work. To keep them on the farm and in touch with us, we come up here and make little colonies with the children around us on homesteads or other places, which makes it easier for the farmers back there in Iowa to get land for the stayaway, and the families that come to Canada and together that the families that buy the farms they leave are kept to gather, too. There won't be any slack ening of the rush, either, for they still raise big families back in Iowa." One could almost see the mental process of this typical American farmer in defending a step that meant a new flag, a new allegiance, a new land, and new associates. To abandon Old Glory of the Declaration of Independence for a good thing in the world would hardly be playing the game. But to Sasaktewan to "keep the family together," was another and a quite higher motive. Why seek too closely to analyze the reasons for the greatest land trek in the history of America? It is enough to know that the sons of the frontiersmen of Iowa, and Kansas, and Minnesota—the best blood of the mid-west—are pouring into the Canadian west in an ever-increasing stream, and are saving the King and "My Country 'Tis shee." are sung to the same tune—Toronto (Ontario) Globe. A Persimistic View Among the patients in a certain hospital of Harrisburg there was recently one disposed to take a dark view of his chances for recovery. "Cheer up, old man!" admonished the youthful medico attached to the ward wherein the patient lay. "Your symptoms are identical with those of four years ago. I was just as sick as you are. Look at me now!" The patient ran his eyes over the physician's stalwart frame. "What doctor did you have?" he finally asked, feebly—illustrated Sunday Magazine. Where is Bessie Har man? Rosanna and Bessie Hartman lived with their mother at Chapman, Nebr., in 1901, the year that their father was killed by a falling tree at Anada, Mo. Their mother, an invalid, being unable to Omaha to school, girls were sent to Omaha to school, be housed and mothered by a Mrs. Smith. Finally, in 1903, Bessie, the younger of the two, was taken in charge by the Nebraska Children's Home society, who refused to tell her married sister, Rosanna, where she is. Bessie became of last February. If she had an address to P. O. Box 898, Omaha, Mo., be forwarded to her sister Rosanna, who is now Mrs. Goe, Duerr. Very Funny Borroughs—Mr. Merchant's out, you say?

LEE'S STATUE TO BE FIXTURE WILL REMAIN IN STATUARY HALL DESPIECE PROTECTS. No Effort Will Be Made to Have It Formally Accepted by Congress. Washington. — The marble statue of Gen. Robert E. Lee, in the uniform of a confederate soldier, stands in Statuary hall at the capitol, and probably will remain there until the end of all things, despite the protests of those men who dislike such a bounty on the great leader of the antitumon force. It has been definitely determined that no effort will be made to have the statue formally accepted by congress, and no ceremonies will be held in connection with its unveiling, that having been done long ago without services of any kind. Each state in the union is allowed to place two statues of the disfigured Virginia hall. Virginia waited until well toward the last and proposed to donate statues of George Washington and Robert E. Lee. "GOLDEN STATE" IS WRECKED Rock Island Fast Train Is Deralled at Minokota Passenger is Hurt. Minooka, Ill.—The "Golden State" Limited of the Rock Island line was wrecked here Sunday, when the engine and four cars were derailed. Of the thirty or more passengers, none were killed, and only one, Clarence Stone of Clinton, Ia., was sorriously stoned. The man in the tourist sleeper, had two rib fractures. The train was nearly two hours late and was speeding along at the rate of 35 miles an hour, when a cylinder head blew out, and the piston, thrashing about, caused the derailment of the engine. Five passengers in the day coach were cut and bruised. They escaped through windows. One of those in the day coach was trapped. The panic she crawled from the car, leaving a child in the car. The youngster was rescued. MORGAN MAY ENLARGE BANK Financier, it Is Said, Will Take In Banker and Entertain Trust Companies. New York.-J. Pleerpoint Morgan may unite in one banking concern, through further trust company mergers in New York under consideration, the enormous sum of $260,000,000 in deposits alone. Reports of additional trust company consolidation are given credence in view of the announcement Monday of the merger of the Guaranty Trust, Morgan Trust and Fifth Avenue companies, with combined deposits of about $200,000,000. This brought a revival in the financial district of rumors embracing the Bankers' Trust Company and the Consolidated the same combination. There were rumors, too, that the Mercantile Trust Company and the Equitable Trust Company eventually will be taken into some sort of a powerful alliance. THERE'S PERIL IN MEAT Government Report Declares Inspection Service is Inadequate Outside Large Packing Centers. Washington—Half of the meat consumed in this country goes to the tables of the people without even having access to it. The government is being qualified to pass upon the quality of the meat. Dr. A. D. Melvin, chief of the United States bureau of animal industry, makes this assertion in his annual report, and states further that the situation is one of real and serious danger to the public. The federal government is powerless to correct the evil, except in the large centers of the industry. The situation grows out of and becomes acute as the federal inspection service reaches a more perfected condition. AVIATOR FALLS TO DEATH Delagrange, French Expert, Is Killed While Making Daring Flight in High Wind. Bordeaux.—Leon Delagrange, the noted French aviator, was killed while making a night here Tuesday. Delagrange fell with his machine from a height of about fifty-five feet and was crushed under the weight of the wreckage. He had been flying in a wind that was gusty and which frequently blew at the rate of twenty miles an hour. In spite of this disadvantage, Delagrange continued and had circled the aerodrome three times when suddenly, as he was turning at high speed against the wind, the left wing of the monoplane broke and the other wing collapsed.

Harry is now aged 20 years, and his sister, isabella, aged 18 years. The children were taken in charge by the Nebraska Children's Society in 1878 from Grand Island, following the death of the father, Silas Allen. The mother is now in Oklahoma, and is distracted because she cannot locate her children, whom she has not seen since they were taken by superintendent and teacher, who now refuses to tell their mother where they are. If the mother will address P. O. Box 885, Omaha, Nebr., giving their own address, it will be sent to their mother. Her Mistake. A lady overtook a little girl of her acquaintance on her way to school. "Do you like decimals, my dear?" she asked. Now the little girl had not gone very far in her arithmetic and she was unfamiliar with the word decimals. She shrank from acknowledging her ignorance, so, after a minute, she stammered: "Yes'm, I like them pretty well, but not as well as peaches." Coats of Fire One Christmas evening a Sunday school pupil appeared at church, only to be surrounded immediately by a number of derling playmates. "She's wearing her sister's coat!" cried one. "And she's got her brother's gloves on" cried another. "And she's retorted that turned the tide of ridicule, "and I came with my mother's blessing." -Judge.
