IOWA BOY MAKING We just received a magazine review of the growth of the city of Guthrie, Oklahoma, the capital, with illustrations, cuts, etc., of its public buildings and places with write ups. Below we publish what this review says of E. W. Thompson, formerly of our city and the first colored boy to graduate from the State University of Iowa in pharmacy: "Edward W. Thompson, Ph. G, Drugs and Sundries—This nice drug store has been established since the ninth day of October and is working up a good trade. The well known and educated proprietor is a colored man of much real worth and merit, and is making his way to the top by his own efforts. He is a registered pharmacist, and is located at 206 South Second street, and has telephone number 1074. He handles pure drugs and chemicals, drug sundries, toilet articles, rubber goods, fine stationery, brushes, pens, pencils, and everything usually found in a good drug store. The prescription department is one of the most accurate, and only the best, purest and most reliable ingredients are compounded. The prices asked are reasonable, and the most courteous treatment is shown to everyone who may find business at the store. The proprietor is a genial and most useful citizen, and has many friends. While we have had an unusual cold and lots of snow this winter it seems to have a bad effect on colored newspaper. They are snowed under so deep or have suspended so that they have not reached us in several weeks. They are as follows: Iowa had five colored papers and magazines, now only one remains. The Western Lever has quit activity as a lever; The Colored Woman has failed to regulate the woman's conduct for several months; The Sioux City Advance is not advancing at present, and the last journal to buck and jump over board was the Buxton Gazette, edited by that able devine, Rev. A. L. DeMond, who will go to the far South to take up the work of the ministry. The next paper is the Chicago Conservator, who again seems to be sleeping her usual sleep about every three years.

As a rule a man will feel well satisfied he can hobble around on crutches in two or three weeks after spraining his ankle, and it is often two or three months before he is fully recovered. This is an unnecessary loss of time, as by applying Chamberlain's Limin, as directed, a cure may as a rule be effected in less than one week's time, and within three days. Sold by all drugrists. STICK TO THE CLASSICS. Is Advice of Miss Maude Fitchette to Students of Music. Among the many talented young women of Norfolk, Va., who have won distinction along musical lines is Miss Maude Fitchette, who at an early age showed great fondness for the plano. She studied under some of the best teachers of Norfolk. Her advancement was so rapid that at the age of twelve she was offered the position of organist of the Calvary Baptist church of Norfolk. Miss Fitchette is a graduate of the Norfolk Mission college and is very popular in musical, social and classical circles. Her mastery of classical music and her attention of many persons in search of a capable teacher of piano and organ music and voice culture. She is the possessor of a splendid mezzo soprano MISS MAUDE FITCHETTE. voice of wide range, which has been heard by many cultured audiences in and out of Norfolk. Miss Fitchett's work as an accompanist and soloist has been indorsed by some of the leading professional musicians and teachers of tidewater, Virginia. She discourages the study and use of ragtime songs and urges her pupils to stick to the classics. Miss Fitchette has had considerable experience as an organist. She has been organist at different times for many of the churches in Norfolk and vicinity and is officating at the present time as organist of the famous church of St. Paul's Episcopal church, which noted for the culture and thriftiness of its general membership.

The choir rehearsed under Miss Fitchette's direction. To Mrs. Sarah S. Collins and other members of Miss Fitchette attributes much for the success which she has had as a teacher and singer. TUSKEGEE IN NEW YORK. Public Given Birdseye View of Our Greatest Industrial School It has long been one of the problems of the Tuskegee institute in its effort to interest the public in its work to find some method of showing people a thousand miles away just what the school is actually doing and what industrial education, as Booker T. Washington conceives it, means. To solve this problem has been adopted. At the public meeting which was held on Jan. 24 at Carnegie hall, New York, under the auspices of the Armstrong association, the work of the school home at Tuskegee was actually brought to New York by showing it in the form of moving pictures. By this means it was possible to show students at work in the fields, planting, plowing, milking, working in the dairy and building roads, as well as showing students in motion, marching to chapel, all in life size moving pictures. The plan to put Tuskegee into a moving picture show did not originate at Tuskegee, however, but in Boston. A group of Negro business men in that city recently organized a company to present moving pictures to audiences of our people throughout the country. They conceived the idea that it would be a good thing as well as a paying investment to produce some pictures of people doing what these groes are doing. One of these scenes pictures the cotton industry. Another series shows the fighting Tenth cavalry at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt. It has been the plan of the company to send its pictures about the country and show them in our churches. They have thus far performed an important part of the race, because the pictures of what Tuskegee is actually doing are the best argument that can be made in its favor, and it is important to the success of the work that Dr. Washington is trying to do that all the Negroes as well as all the white people should understand and appreciate the race. The experiment he has undertaken for the masses of the race. Famous Writer Makes new Discovery. "Old Hickory," writing in the Dallas (Tex) Express recently, says there is a town in England which has a population of 6,000 persons, and it also has 6,000 dogs. That is the dog-ondect town I ever heard of. He also says that there are about three real saints among the women to one among the men in every denomination. DAVENPORT IA.

One of the many proofs that might bo put forward showing the immense wealth that comes to the farmers of Central Canada is seen in the sum that has been spent during the past two or three months by the farmers who have for the time being ceased worrying over the reaper and the thresher, and are taking to enjoying themselves for two or three months.

Van Pelt, State Dairy Expert Tells Why Prices for Butter and Milk Are So High. At Meeting. Des Moines, Jan. 23. "Present high prices of milk and butter are because a third of the cows in Iowa are not paying for their feed," said Hugh G. Van Pelt, state dairy expert. "There are 500,000 poor cows in Iowa, so that are not well fed and that are not dairy and rich purposes." Mr. Van Pelt was here attending a meeting of the Iowa Cow Culture club. This club was organized here last spring as the result of a large number of large prizes being offered for the best dairy cows in the state. W. W. Marsh, of Waterloo, offered $1,000 in prizes, the twelve best in the contest to win money. The American Jersey Cattle club duplicated this for all Jersey winners and the Holstein club duplicated it to the extent of $500 for all Holstein winners. The Guernsey Cattle club offered cups and trophies. The contest for all these prizes will end August 15. In the meanwhile the Kimball Dairy Farmer gives $25 for the best cow during each month of the contest. There are now 160 cows in this contest. There are no contest cows over another similar to it will at once begin. It is expected that 500 cows will be entered and the meeting of the club was to make arrangements for that contest. The Jersey Cattle club, of Iowa, was organized and it will be a prominent factor in this movement for better cows in Iowa. About fifty dairymen of the state were in attendance at the gathering. Henry Wallace is the president of the club and E. R. Shoemaker is the secretary. Hugh G. Van Pelt was in attendance as state dairy expert. He is in charge of the expenditure of $10,000 which the last legislature appropriated to be used in better dairy conditions in Iowa. The Cow Culture club organization was a part of his work along this line. There was a general meeting to discuss the project of having the state dairy testing system in practice for another year. R.

A bottle containing a small quantity of strychnine found near by indicated that the children had taken the poison and died as the result of a suicide pact. The discovery was made by the father and brother of young Barr when they went to the barn to do the morning chores. The girl was the daughter of Albert Ammer, who lives three miles north of Monroe. Both families are well known and prosperous farmers of the Monroe neighborhood and the tragedy has created a profound sensation throughout the community. Each of the young people left a note, but gave nothing definite to indicate the motive that prompted them to the tragic deed, contenting themselves with their statement that they were unhappy. Young Ammer, some time been paying marked attention to the tragedy among their friends they were generally regarded as lovers. It is not known that they were engaged to be married, but in the absence of a better explanation it is presumed that they desired to wed and that they had met with determined parental opposition on account of their tender years.

From the first they entered heartly into the festivities of the evening, no one in all the crowd apparently being more happy or free from worry. They danced merrily in the halls filled with people, bidding their friend good-by drove straight to the boy's home, where they deliberately ended their lives. While Monroe is in Jasper county, the Barr farm is just over the line, in this, Marion county, and officers are making an investigation of the tragedy. DAIRY TRAIN IN FEBRUARY Hugh G.

Why does Great Britain buy its patronal oil of me? Certainly it seems like carrying coals to Newcastle to speak of exporting oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every year the Quaker Oats Company sends hundreds of thousands of cases of Quaker Oats to Great Britain and Europe. The season is simple; while the English and Scottish have for centuries eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a regularity that has made them the most rugged physically, and active mentally of all people, the American has been eating oatmeal and trying all the time to improve the methods of manufacture so that he might get that desirable foreign trade. How well he has succeeded would be a test of the export reports of Quaker Oats. This brand is recognized as without a rival in cleanliness and delicious flavor. 51 Whiakers.

EPIDEMIC OF ITCH IN WELSH VILLAGE "In Dowlands, South Wales, about fifteen years ago, families were struck en wholesale by a disease known as the itch. Believe me, it is the most terrible disease of its kind that I know of, as it itches all through your body and makes your life an inferno. Sleep is out of the question and you feel as if a million mosquitoes were attacking you at the same time. I knew a dozen families that were so affected. "The doctors did their best, but their remedies were of no avail whatever. Then the families tried a drugist who was noted far and wide for his remarkable cures. People came to him from all parts of the country for treatment, but his medicine made matters still worse, as a last resort they were advised by a friend to use the Cucurcua Remedies. I am glad to tell you that after a few days' treatment with Cucurcua Oliment and Resolvent, the effect was wonderfully result was a perfect cure in all cases. "I may add that my three brothers, three sisters, myself and all our families have been users of the Cucurcua Remedies for fifteen years.

No More Gold Lace for Afghan. The ameer has published an edifice which applies to all parts of Afghanistan, prohibiting the import into the country of all kinds of gold lace, in cluding embroidered kullas lungis and embroidered shoes. The ameer is evidently actuated by a desire to prevent his subjects from spending their hard earned money on show dress. It is the poorer classes who are notoriously addicted to this extravagance which his majesty has decided to check. The gold laced coat of the Afghan is decidedly handsome, and although the ameer has acted wisely in bringing into general use clothing less costly, his majesty's orders will doubtless be received by his subjects with rather mixed feelings. Proper Bestowal or Charity. Dickens: There are not a few among the disciples of charity who require in their vocation, scarcely less excitement than the votaries of pleasure in theirs; and hence it is that diseased sympathy and compassion are every day expended on out-of-the way objects, when only too many demands upon the legitimate exercise of the same virtues in a healthy state are constantly within the sight and hearing of the most unobserved person alive. In short, charity must have its romance, as the novelist or the play wright must have his. Fever Sores.

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 Mr. A. M. POPE. MRS. A. M.
