Pickett for State Superintendent. The Bystander is pleased to invite the attention of its readers to the history of Adam Pickett of Creston who is a candidate before the republican primaries for state superintendent of public instruction. He was born on the farm in 1882; deprived of his father at the age of seven and left to provide for his mother and two younger brothers one of whom was an invalid. He was compelled to stop school and earn a livelihood. He worked on the farm, in the factory, and afterwards in a coal mine. While working in a cool mine in Brazil, Indiana, he suffered a severe injury that left him a cripple for life. He continued to mine coal in Missouri, Illinois and Iowa until the Angus strike of 1885. He turned his attention to education and worked his way through the preparatory school, normal school, college and university and finally took up the work of teaching as a profession. He has been superintendent of the Van Meter, Adair, Guthrie Center, Mt. Ayr and Creston schools and for twenty years has been a member of the Iowa State Teachers' Association. He has taught in over fifty teachers insti-utes, and lectured to a large number of teachers in a large number of counties in central Iowa. Should he be nominated, the office could not be in better hands. He numbers among his friends all classes. And while he is to-day occupying a prominent position, he is the friend of the down trodden, and his wife though a lady of culture and refinement is a member of a little society in Creston that is in part made up of colored folks. His two brothers are both mine foremen, one of them at Buxton, in this state. We feel free to say that the laboring men and all the common people should consider him.

Morgan, who expired about 2 o'clock p. m. She had only been sick about one week, but not seriously as her friends thought, but the end came very suddenly. She was a loveable woman, loved by all who knew her, and she had only been married a few years to Mr. E. S. Morgan, our well known barber. Her former home was in Boone, Mr. H. Coleman is her father. She was an active member of the Household of Ruth, Eastern Star Chapter and various other organizations. The funeral services were held from the Burns M. E. Church, of which she was an active Christian worker. A very large crowd gathered at the church Sunday at 2 o'clock. The services were conducted by Rev. L. Woolrich, the pastor, under the auspices of the Household of Ruth. The remains were to rest in the beautiful cemetery of Glendale.

In presenting to the voters of Des Moines Township his claims for the Republican nomination for Justice of the Peace for Des Moines Township, J. A.

Second, During the four years following his admission to the bar was Justice of the Peace in Waterloo to 1902, just before comming to Des Moines. Third, He has had a general business training especially qualifying him for such office, being associated with several social, benevolent and fraternal organizations. Fourth, He has the hearty endorsement of professional and business men as well as the united and individual support of labor organizations. IFth. This candidacy is individual and for the first term. and for the first term. Sixth. He is a candidate solely on his merits and not because his father was a bricklayer; nor because he studied law in Drake or Iowa city; nor is he a candidate for because of his education of all the United States as appointed by other candidates; nor is he lined up with a candidate for this or any other office. A vote for J. A. Mears for the office of Justice of the Peace of Des Moines Township is a vote for consistency and merit and is o vote against office and professional office holders. WILLIAM H. WHITNEY FOR RECORDER We present this week the true likeness of Mr. E. F. Whitney, a candidate for County Recorder.

He was a member of the East Side School Board for many years and made a good member of the City Council and an influential worker for the city. He was formerly in the drug business, for many years by his age and experience he would make a good recorder, his many friends are working hard and believe that he is the logical candidate that should be nominated, he is a true friend of the colored race and no will doubt give them recognition. if elected.

STOOD WHERE SHE WAS PUT Wife Obeyed Orders to the Letter, but Unfortunately Workmen Moved Post Hole. In a western state workmen began to dig a post hole for an electric light in front of a Dutchman's dwelling, when the master forbade them to continue. After some discussion the Dutchman bade his wife stand on a large, flat statue with which he covered his head with a crocodile he said, "dat fish where you shtands till I comes back mit ein enjunction." The solid frau stood there like a statue, her hands on her hips. When the husband disappeared, the leader of the workmen ordered the slate, with the frau on it, to be removed. With perfect politeness the lady was set on one side as if she had been a fat teapot on a salver. The Dutch wife stood like Casablanca, but the hole was well in its place when the householder returned with the injunction. He was overcome with astonishment and "with the horror" that his hole" he demanded of his wife. "it was on dis stone dat you vas put me," she answered. He looked at her in helpless indignation a moment, and then cried; "i not was mean dat you shtand on d stone dat ven dat hole was carried away!" -Christian Register. Wedding Fee Counterfelt. A well-dressed stranger entered the office of Justice William B. Williams, Montclair, N. J., and after shaking hands astonished the justice by saying: "I'm here to redeem that counterfeit $10 bill I passed on you. Two years ago. I called on you with my girl and two witnesses and you married us. I handed you a $10 bill. I had a counterfeit in my pocketbook that I'd carried for several years. I never missed it until yesterday. Then I remembered that I'd accidentally handed you the bill." The caller proferred a good $10 bill, but the justice refused to take it. "Don't let that worry you, my dear fellow," he laughed. "I never knew it was a counterfeit. No kind of money sticks to me over night. I'm married, myself." For the Critics. Creston Clark, whose untimely death at Asheville robbed America of a serious and capable actor, was somewhat impatient of criticism. To a Philadelphia critic he once said: "You chaps are unwilling to accept a man for what he is. You want to change him to your own taste. But of you has a different taste. To whose inclination, then, is he to bend? "No, no! Take the artist for what he is. That is the right critical attitude. Don't be like the农崾伊 I once saw—an urchin who, as stoned a frog to death, repeated severely: "I'll larn ye to be a toad." Very Flush. She was a fisherman's daughter, she wore her hair in a net, and she preferred love in a placental way. "My love," he whispered, "you hold first 'place' in my heart! Although I 'founder' about in my expression, my 'sole' wish is that you will save me from becoming 'crabbble' in my life, and I will be closer than a 'limpet', from you a 'winkl' be the road to guide me. Together we will 'skate' over life's 'rock', and when I look at your hand beside me I shall say to myself: 'Fortune was mine when I put 'herring' there!' And then the lady dropped her eyes in sweet confusion, and murmured: "Pass the salt." No Affair of His. "I noticed, Mr. Lloyd, that you were the only person who did not weep during Mr. Evans' beautiful prayer." "You forget, Mrs. Davies, that I belong to another parish."—The Bystander.

PALMER GIVES INTERESTING FIGURES Three Complete Revisions of Iowa Classifications Made During Past Few Years. Des Moines, Iowa—Rapidly increasing importance of the Iowa Railroad Commission to the people of Iowa is forcefully shown in a recent statement of the work of the board made by Col. David J. Palmer, of Washington, chairman. Mr. Palmer cites that during his membership on the board the past few years, 2,884 complaints have been made and amicably adjusted. Of this number 8 per cent were dismissed for want of jurisdiction, practically 12 per cent were denied, leaving 2,307 cases that were closed to the satisfaction of the complainants against the railroads. Chairman Iowa Railway Commission. During this same brief period 340 rate reductions have been made and but two raises in rates, these being due to errors in classification. Besides these rate reductions the board has promulgated the Famous Joint Rate Order; uniform demurrage rules (of great advantage to shippers); and many other rules giving distinct concessions to shippers of freight in Iowa. Also during this time three new regulations have been made, involving many months of painstaking care and labor. Members of the last Iowa-General Assembly discovered the enormity of this work when an investigation was made that the commission a bill to establish a general commerce commission. It was demonstrated to the legislators that the Iowa commission is an important institution and that the work that has been done has been of highest value and that the commission is a state. That is why the representatives from all over the state refused to abolish this office or combine it with another. The recent report in figures by Chairman David J. Palmer goes further to demonstrate the limitations of shippers and people living on railroads have differences with the corporations amicably settled.

MADE PROMISE OF SECRECY Therefore Caller Could Only Guess Who Had Taught Youngster to Stand-on His Head. "The venerable countess of Cardigan, the author, you know, of that wicked book of memoirs, thinks the modern girl is too athletic and hoydenish," said an English visitor to New York. "The countess of Cardigan often tells of a young man who was drinking tea with a beautiful girl when her little brother slipped into the room. "Mr. Mannering," the boy asked, "can you stand on your head? "No, said the visitor, laughing. I don't believe I can." "Well, I can," said the boy. "Look here." "And he stood on his head very neatly in the corner. "Ha, ba!" laughed Mr. Mannerling, "And who taught you that?" "The urchin frowned, "didn't he, he said, 'told me I must never tell.'" A Quick Cat. Some years ago the proprietor of a hotel in new New Hampshire told the following story: He said that when he was a boy he had occasion to go into the garret of his house one morning and that the family cat followed him up the阳台. One of the windows was open, and when they entered the garret a frightened mouse jumped out of the window, and the cat, jumping after it, caught it in mid-air, and whirling round, jumped back again into the same window. **System Required.** Clerk—May I have a day's leave tomorrow, sir?

Five of Crew of Wrecked Vessel Are Saved, But All the Rest Perish—Other Craft Resaches Port Badly Damaged. Port Huron, Mich—Probably eighteen persons lost their lives in a collision between the large steel steamer Frank H. Goodyear of the steamers Transit company and the steamers James B. Wood, another steel vessel belonging to the Glychrist Transportation company, in Lake Huron about thirty-five miles off Point Aux Barques. The Goodyear sank in 40 fathoms of water. But five persons were saved. The collision occurred about six o'clock Tuesday morning in a heavy fog which overhung the lake. A partial list of missing follows: Mr. Lillian Bassett, wife of cook, Algnace; John Bassett, three years old, Algnace; Arche Fuller, second mate, Algnace; John Gibson, chief engineer; Algnace. When the steamers came together the crew of the Goodyear, which is reported to have been struck amidships, had time only to seize life preservers. Only a few could jump overboard before the boat began to fill with water, and sounded the second call for breakfast on the Goodyear when the crash came and many were in the messroom. All rushed on deck and then the boat began to sink. Several jumped into the water and managed to get out of reach of the boat, which was filling fast. Doubledly the Goodyear parted in the center and with a sound which could be heard above the whistling of the Wood, sank out of sight, carrying with it all except five on board. The bow of the Wood was stove in, but she rested on her bulkhead, and, although some water flowed into the hold, was kept afloat with the pumps, Captain Gibson of the Wood ordered the lifeboats lowered and gave the instructions to make every possible escape to the sailors of the steaming steamer. Many of the Goodyear's crew were killed by falling hatches before they had a chance to jump into the water. All had on life preservers when their vessel sank. The cook's baby was dashed from his arms by a falling hatch and the infant was seven hours the Wood remained at anchor near the scene of the collision, the captain hoping that he would be able to save others of the crew of the Goodyear. When the fog rose nothing was in sight, and as his boat was damaged and in danger of sinking he decided to return to this port. The Goodyear are large steel vessels. The Wood is 514 feet long and the Goodyear was 436 feet long. KING ASKS MOURNING TO END British Ruler Does Not Wish Trades men to Suffer—Roosevelt Received by Alexandra.

ASSAILS TAFT AND TARIFF ASSAILS TAFT AND TARIFF CHAMP CLARK CALLS THE LAW "DISHONEST REVISION." Foss of Massachusetts in Maiden Speech Talks of "Humbug" and "Bunco Game." Washington—What is regarded as the Democratic keynote speech of the coming congressional campaign was delivered by Representative Champ Clark of Missouri, Democratic leader in the house, Saturday when he denounced the Payne-Aldrich tariff bill attached the tariff views of Representative Payne and vigorously assailed President Taft for his support of that law. Mr. Clark had prepared his address with great care and spoke at length, giving facts and figures in support of his contention that the tariff had not been honestly revised and that the Republican majority in congress had endeavoted to trick the people. Representative Foss, the newly absent Democrat, representative from Massachusetts, also made a radical attack upon the Payne-Aldrich tariff. Mr. Foss denounced the Republican policy of protection as an unmitigated evil; flayed the Republican leaders; declared the recent revision of the tariff to be "a deliberate bunk game from start to finish"; pronounced in his speech that the "extra session of a new congress" as the earliest opportunity to revise the tariff. The speaker announced himself as favoring the creation of a tariff commission, but he wanted the commission composed of non-partisan men whose report would be made direct to congress rather than to the president; the representative Board of Illinois member of the ways and means committee, delivered a speech, in which he defended and described the effects of the Aldrich tariff law "from the standpoint of the ultimate consumer," as he said. Criticising the Democrats in the past had covered over the producers, but their hearts now were bleeding for the consumers. Mr. Boutell compared the difference between what given articles cost the American manufacturer to produce and what they cost the ultimate consumer, in order to show the high cost was not due to the tariff.

Yet the ghost is a fancy and the germ is a fact. If the germ could be magnified to a size equal to in its terrors it would appear more real. Germs that survive the heat can't be avoided. They are in the air we breathe, the water we drink. The germ can only prosper when the condition of the system gives it free scope to establish itself.

When the British square at the battle of Abu Klafe, in the Nubian desert, was penetrated by the dervishes, one of them attempted to spear a gunner who was in the act of ramming her a charge. The Briton brained the Sniper, but the man's split on the man's hard skull. Next day the gunner was sent for.

I was more than surprised when she took her hair down to prove to me that is was all her own. I put my scalp in her charge at once and words can never express the wonderful results of her treatment. I have tried so many hair treatments that my hair was in a dreadful condition. Mrs. Perkins first treatment proceeded beyond doubt, then knowledge of the scalp.

Madam Perkins, for many years a resident of Denver, is an active member of Zion Baptist church, and one of the most favorably known women in our state.

I am going to send and get another supply before long. I am proud to recommend your cure to all who wish to know your great work. My husband is very much pleased with the way my hair has grown. He thinks it is the best hair grower yet. Mrs. HATTIE HUMPHREY. STOPPED HAIR FROM BREAKING OEF My hair was in a very bad condition when I began taking treatments of Mrs. Perkins in March, 1906.

I thought I'd wait to see how I liked your treatment before writing. I also received your letter from Pueblo, and thank you very much for interest shown. Now, as to your treatment, I used the red shampoo, and eggs, as I thought the scalp must have thorough cleaning to start with, and you didn't designate which to use first. I must say, it was the most delightful shampoo I ever had. I felt like I had a new head, (laugh). Now, as to your salve, it is the nearest thing to perfection I have ever used, as a dressing, and I don't think you've exaggerated its merits. (From the Dehver Statesman.) A year ago the first announcement was the wonderful success which Mrs. T. The Perkins had made in the growth of her own hair, and it is her intention to give the benefit of her knowledge, wild at large. Being one of the best known women in this section of the country, already the news occasioned much comment, and many people who had known her for years, came to realize for the first time that the magnificent suit of hair she has now was the product of a very short time and that a bare three years ago she wore her hair in short curls, not braided and dressed as she now does. That success begets success, was evident from the start. Her classes in the care of the scalp and the teeth and beautifying of the hair were filled at once. They grew in prodigious bounds and some weeks ago she was compelled abandon her out-of-town classes altogether. She confines herself now to treatments at her home in the Highlands and to mail order business. In the special articles which will appear from time to time in this paper, we delight to call attention to success in various lines achieved by people of this city and state, both that there may be honor paid to whom honor is due, and also that proper appreciation and patronage may come to pioneers in business or to personal profit for themselves and simple and encouragement for us all, go hand in hand in success won by members of our race. Even the mean spit-up is not begrudge the one when so much is accomplished for the whole people at the same time. In her business Mrs. Perkins does not play the part of a charlatan, but sets forth clearly the possibilities of her work, and her greatest endorsement falls short of the painstaking endeavor and thorough going knowledge she uses. We have seen her grow and grow, we know that she has succeeded and we, therefore, predict that in no great length of time she will be doing a business that will rival any mail order business conducted by a woman of our race in any department of endeavor.
