The demonstration Sunday at the Young men's Progressive association hall, was very largely attended.

If only more of our people could have heard the speaking and singing. Prof. Geo. I. Holt was present and sang; an orchestra was present, and played throughout, under the supervision of Mr. L. J. Shelton. Below we publish just what Hon. John MacVicar, councilman, and one of our true friends, said on the Editorial page of the Register and Leader the next morning. He was present and spoke. He was greatly impressed by the intelligence of the membership of the Young Men's Progressive league, an organization of colored people, which is laying plans for the organization of an Afro-American Y. M. C. A. said Councilman MacVicar, "I was invited to speak at a meeting held Sunday in the league's hall at West Ninth and Park streets. While there I heard some of the members read papers, sing songs and make speeches in a manner that would be worthy emulation by many white societies. I am sure that if the white people of Des Moines could have seen the manner in which that program wa scarred on, they would have learned to respect the colored people more. It had that effect on me." Th members of the Carnation club were very delightfully entertained at the home of Mrs. F. Bates, 1111 Fremont street, Thursday, May 26th, by Robert Carter. The club opened with quotations from the Bible, led by Miss Hattie Ewing. The club listened to a paper on the life of the Aposle John, by Mrs. F. Bates.

The request was made by the Sioux City Live Stock exchange and the Sioux City Stock Yards company. The board recently increased the minimum length of cars for live stock shipments from thirty-one to thirty-six feet. The Sioux City concerns filed formal complaint and after a hearing Thursday the board restored the old order to take effect as soon as possible. The change from 31-foot cars to 36-foot cars took effect June 1 and the change back to 31-foot cars is of great value to the small shipper. It was shown that the farmer or small shiper of live stock, shipping to local points, seldom has sufficient stock to fill a 36-foot car. Despite this fact they must pay the minimum weight for the 36-foot car. The order of the board also provides that if the shipper demands a 31-foot car and the company cannot furnish it that he shall pay only the minimum on the smaller car, regardless of the size of the car. LATTER DAY SAINTS MEETING Will Take Steps Towards Locating the Big Reunion in Des Moines Again This Summer. Des Moines, June 3.—Beginning last night and continuing over Sunday will be held at East Fourteenth and Lyon streets, the convention of the Sunday School association and the Zlon's Religio-Literary society, and the district conference of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

The district conference business sessions will be held on Saturday forenoon and afternoon, followed by preaching at night and on Sunday. Two items of business that will be considered will be the selection of district officers of the conference and the locating of the reunion for the year. It is being considered whether to hold another reunion in the city during this summer, some looking upon this question favorably.

CHANT-portant work, for the Attorney General, LAND, OF FT. DOGGE. He feels that Mme.T.D.PERKINS Colonel Wm. T. Chantland of Fort Dodge, is the oldest of the three republican candidates for Attorney General. He was born in Fort Dodge June 22, 1870. He is a graduate of both the collegiate and law departments of the University of Iowa. He has the advantage of the candidates in experience in law, having practiced at Fort Dodge for 16 years. His work as County Attorney of Webster County, (numerically one of the dozen larger counties of the State) meant real legal experience, and is exceptional. Of 92 indictments returned, he secured convictions or pleas of guilt in 88. This record speaks for itself as to his ability and energy. During his first term, he resigned to go to the front in the Spanish-American war as Captain of his Company, G, of the 52d Iowa Volunteers. He is also the son of a veteran of the Civil war. Chantland believes that the State of Iowa is a big enough and important enough client to demand the best legal energies of the best legal force that can be gathered in the office of Attorney General; and he promises if elected to conduct the office strictly as a lawyer should, and not in any manner for political gain. Chantland believes that there is much im- READ HER STRONG TESTIMONIALS. Give her a trial and be convinced. One thousand women are taking these treatments by mail. Having known Mrs. T. D. Perkins for years, I unhesitatingly testify to her reliability, sincerity, business integrity and trustworthiness. Therefore, any representation she may make, can be accepted in all confidence. Very truly, ENOS L. SCRUGGS. Pres. Western College, Macon, Mo. Denver Col. Aug. 10, 1906. This certifies that Mrs. T. D. Perkins is well and favorably known throughout this state and city. Whatever promises or statements she may make will be fully kept, as she is a woman of veracity and not given to unwarranted or irresponsible methods. Very truly yours. JOHN E. FORD, Minister Zion Baptist Church. DOUBLE PROOF. I have known Mrs. T. D. Perkins more than ten years and never knew her to have hair more than two inches long until the past three years. 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 proved beyond a doubt her knowledge of the care of the scalp. I trust every woman who may read this will write Mrs. Perkins and secure a place in her class for scalp treatment for beautifying and growth of the hair. MRS. ED. HARKIS 2218 Clarkson, Denver, Col. DANDRUFF REMOVED AND HAIR BEAUTIFIED. Chester, Pa., Dec. 12, 1908. Dear Mrs. Ferkins: I really feel it a duty to write and let you know the wonderful results I have obtained by the use of your scalp treatment.

Of the many preparations of this kind on the market, yours seems to be the only one that does what it claims. You certainly have discovered the true secret of beautifying the hair, and I wish you every success—and give you permission to use it. I am confident if it like as I feel that I cannot too highly recommend it. Wishing you a merry Christmas and a prosperous new year. Miss MAGGIE HO BROWN. 4 1-2 INCHES OF HAIR IN 7 TREATMENTS, Denver, Col., Aug. 13, 1909. I began taking treatment of Madam Perkins about nine months ago.

Chantland claims to have the facts on this evil. His local bar composed of over 30 members, regardless of party affiliations, concludes its endorsement of Chantland's candidacy by saying: "Now at the age of forty we regard him as well equipped by education, experience and energy for the office to which he aspires. We unhesitatingly and unreservedly endorse his candidacy and commend him to the voters of Iowa." In his canvas, Chantland has sought primarily to base his candidacy on the general endorsement of the attorneys of the State and he feels that at least five sixths of the lawyers of the State are favorable to his candidacy. He feels that their judgment should control the choice for the office of Attorney General. Chantland's candidacy has grown rapidly in strength it has been freely predicted that he will win. The State will surely have the services of an able, energetic, fearless and impartial lawyer in the Attorney General's office. If Chantland is chosen. C HON. ED SITZ, Candidate for Railroad Commissioner. We present our readers with a true likeness of Hon. Ed Sitz of Peterson, Iowa, who is a candidate for railroad commissioner, subject to the republican primaries next Tuesday. Mr. Sitz is without doubt one of the best and most successful business men in Iowa, having began life at the bottom he struggled on and by hard knocks he succeeded, and that is the kind of man we should nominate for office. He was born in Berlin, Germany, 1853, and came to the United States in 1859, and to Peterson, Clay county, Iowa in 1869. For the past thirty years he has been associated with the Peterson Mills, and for the past twenty years has been sole owner, and manufactured flour, feed etc. on a large scale for both the home and shipping trade. His experience as a shipper has brought him face to face with many of the transportation problems and it has been a practical school to him. He is a good common sense man with good judgment, and a friend to all races. He solicits your support on June 7th. MT PLEASANT NOTES.

When I began taking her treatment my hair was very short, harsh and stubborn and broke off close to my scalp in some places. And now it is long and pliable. I recommend to all to take Mrs. Perkins' treatment. I remain. Yours respectfully, ALICE PAGE. HER CLAIM IS BONA FIDE. To Whom it May Concern: This is to certify that I have known Mrs. Perkins for nine years, and can testify that she did have short hair, as she says, until three years ago, when she began treatment on her own hair. In two she grew it up. The lengths illustrated in her picture. She is a reputable citizen and her business reputation in this city and state is a guarantee of straight dealing. C. A. FRANKLIN, Editor Denver Statesman HUNDREDS OF WOMEN PRAISE MNDR Denver, Col., April 22, 1909: To Whom it May Concern: I find it a pleasure to say a word in praise of Madam Perkins, and her remarkable success in scientific scalp treatment. 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. The beautiful hair of hundreds of women in our city and other parts of the state is a tribute to her phenomenal success in her profession. The wonderful growth of her own hair is a most remarkable achievement. I cheerfully recommend her to all ladies who may be interested in the growing and beautifying of the hair. Respectfully, DAVID E. OVER, Pastor Zion Baptist Church. HER HAIR GROWS ONE INCH A MONTH Denver, Col., Aug. 9, 1907. I have used Mrs. Perkins' scalp and hair treatments for seven months and it has given perfect satisfaction. My scalp is free from dandruff and my hair has grown six or seven inches. I highly recommend her to all who have scalp diseases. Yours truly, MRS. MINNEY HALL RECOMMENDATION HIGHLY. Monmouth, Ill., Oct. 26, 1908. Dear Madam: I received your letter and was glad to hear from you. I am very proud of the treatment that I have taken from you. The results are wonderful. You would hardly know that it is the same head of hair if you could see it. 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 HUMPHEY. STOPPED HAIR FROM BREAKING OFF. My hair was in a very bad condition when I began taking treatments of Mrs. Perkins in March, 1906. It would break off and was valuable remedy has been introduced. No other medicine in use for diarrhoea or bowel complaints has received such general approval. The secret of the success of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy is that it cures. Sold by all druggists.

After being under her treatment nine months my hair has taken new growth, my scalp is free from all dandruff and the hair is growing nicely.

WILLIAMS. 730 S. Weber, Colorado Springs. ALL TREATMENTS GIVE PERFECT SATISFACTION. Almosa, Col., Oct. 25, 1908. Dear Madam: I received the goods all right, which I presume you know by this time. 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. THE CROWN OF SUCCESS. (From the Deliver Statesman.) A year ago the first announcement was made by Mrs. T. D. Perkins had made in the growth of her own hair, and it is her intention to give the benefit of her knowledge to the world 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 growth and beautifying of her hair at one time. They grew in preplugged bounds and she weeks ago she was compelled to 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 ploneers in business among us. Personal profit for themselves and example and encourage us, and give a hand in success we buy by members of the community. Even the mean spirted should 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. Grand Lodge will Hold Session at Waterloo June 10-16 Fourteen Hundred Visitors Expected in City for Meeting—Past Grand Masters Will Be Presented With Jewels Waterloo, Ia., June 3.—The detailed program for the meeting of the Masonic grand lodge in Waterloo from June 10 to 16 has been issued. The school of instruction will be held June 10, 11 and 13. The first session of the grand lodge proper will be held Tuesday morning.

Grand Secretary Parvin of Cedar Rapids, in a recent bulletin, states that the suspensions from the order during the year were quite numerous, about 500. He says: “五 of the largest lodges in Iowa, with a combined membership of 2,200 do not report a single suspension, while one of our lodges, with less than 175 members, reports eighteen suspended. About 100 of the lodges show a decrease in membership, while one-half of that number about hold their own. Marion lodge No. 6 reports conferring the largest number of degrees of any lodge during the year, 140. The total increase for the year will not be as great as was expected, being in the neighborhood of 1,500. This is due to the fact that the decrease of the year amounts to over 2,200; however, we are more than holding our own and gaining at a reasonable rate, and Masonry seems to be prospering throughout the entire jurisdiction.” Iowa Falls Masons to Attend.

Clinton, Iowa.—Miss Mary Ringson is dead, former Chief of Police William Lorenzen is seriously wounded and Elmer Liston, murderer of the girl, is injured as the result of an attack made on the girl by Liston, who shot the police officer in resisting arrest. He killed the girl by a bullet through the mouth and brain and then turned the gun on himself, inflicting a glancing wound in the skull. A bullet fired by the officer also wounded him, taking effect in Liston's body. The murderer was arrested after barricading himself in a room at the Ringson home on Olney avenue, where the crime took place, and, holding the entire Clinton police and sheriff's force at bay for more than two hours by reason of the strategic position he occupied. Standing over the body of the dead girl, Liston shot through the door repeatedly and held the fort even after the door had been battered down by the officers, who used a long ladder to accomplish the purpose, and when the fire department had valylied try to flood him out with a stream of water, with two wounds in the head and body, the desperate man, weak from loss of blood, succumbed to the demands of the officers, who guaranteed him protection from the angry mob which thronged around the house, risking bullets which they feared might be fired from windows by the cornered murderer. Liston is 35 years old, and has a wife and family, but is understood to have kept company with the Ringson girl, who was 22, for two years. Liston came from Galesburg and intended driving with the girl to Morrison, Ill., but the couple quarreled and the frenzied man shot her, afterwards wounding the policeman and failing in an attempt to take his own life.

His work as County Attorney of Web- Ster County, (numerically one of the dozen larger counties of the State) meant real legal experience, and is exceptional. Of 92 indictments re- turned, he secured convictions or Pleas of guilty in 88. This record speaks for itself as to his ability and energy. During bis first term, he re- signed to go to the front in the Span- Ish-American war as Captain of his Company, G, of the 62d Iowa Volun- teers. He 1s also the son of a vete- ran of the Civil war. Chantland believes that the State of Iowa is a big enough and important enough client to demand the best legal on- ergies of the best legal force that can be gathered in the office of At- torney General; and he promises if elected to conduct the office ‘strictly as a lawyer should, and not in any manner for political gain.

He feels that one of the first abuses to be correct- ed is the rotten fence wire trust, which as he has figured out, is an- nually costing the farmers of. Iowa more than all the appropriations made by their state logislature. Chantland claims to have the facts on this evil. His local bar composed of over 30 members, regardless of party affiliations, concludes its en- dorsement of Chantland’s candidacy by saying: “Now at the age of forty we re- gard him as well equipped by educa- tion, experience and energy for the office to which he aspires. We un- hesitatingly and unreservedly en- dorse his candidacy and commend him to the voters of Iowa.” In his canvas, Chantland bas sought primarily to base his candi- dacy on the general endorsement of the attorneys of the State and he feels that at least five sixths of the lawyers of the State are favorable to nis candidacy. He feels that their judgment should control the choice for the office of Attorney General. Chantland’s candidacy has grown ra- idly in strength it has been freely predicted that he will win.

To Whom it’ May Concern: 1 find it a pleasure to say a word in praise of Madam Perkins, and her remarkable success in scientific scalp treatment. 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, The beautiful hair of hundreds of women in our city aud other parts of the state is a tribute to her phenomenal success in her profession. The wonderful growth of her own hair is a most remarkable testimony. I cheerfully recommend her to all ladies who may be interested in the growing and beautifying of the hair. Respecttully, DAVID E.

Dear Madam: I received the goods all right, which I presume you know by this time. I thought I'd wait to see how I liked your treatment be- fore 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 1 thought the scalp must have thorough cleaning to start with, and you didn’t des ignate which ‘to use first. I must say, it was the most delightful sham- poo I ever had. I felt like I had a new head, (laugh). Now, as to your salve, it is the nearest thing to per- fection I have ever used, as a dross- ing, and I don’t think you've exag- gerated its merits. THE CROWN OF SUCCESS. (from the Menver Statesman.) ‘A year ago the first announcement was made of the wonderful success which Mrs. T. D. Perkins had made in the growth of her own hair, and it is her intention to give the ben- efit of her knowledge to the world at large. Being one of the best known women in this section of the country, already the news occasion- ed much comment, and many peo- ple 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 growth and beautifying of the hair were filled at once, They grew in prodigious bounds and some Weeks ago she was compelled to abandon her out-of-town classes al- together. She confines herself now to treatments at her home in the Highlands and to mail order bus!- ness. In the special articles which will appear from time to time in this pa- per, we delight to call attention to success in various Tines 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 among us. Personal profit for them- selves and example and encourage- ment for us all go hand in hand in success won by members of our race, Even the mean spirited should not begrudge the one when so much {s 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 endorse- ment falls short of the painstaking endeavor and thorough going knowl- edge she uses. We have seen her srw and grow, we know that she bas succeeded and we, therefore, predict that in no great length of ime sho will be doing a business that will rival any mail arder busi- ness conducted by a woman of our race in any department of endeavor.

Grand Secretary Parvin of Cedar Rapids, in a recent bulletin, states that the suspensions from the order during the year were quite numer- ous, about 500.

About 100 of the lodges show a decrease in membership, while one-half of that number about hold their own.

The total increase for the year will not be as great as was ex- pected, being in the neighborhood of 1,509.

Heminger areuring his candidacy for superintendent of public instruction, and claim that he is the logical candidate on account of his ability as an executive and an organizer and on account of his training both as a student and in public school work which has peculiarly fitted him for this office. He has had fourteen years of practical experience covering very phase of public school work, and his supporters claim, is not only familiar with the work of the teacher and city superintendent, but he is also thoroughly familiar with the problems of administration of the school laws and the work of school officers. He has had the professional training of the State Teachers' colleges at Cedar Falls; he has had the broader training of the collegiate course at the University of Iowa, and he has completed the three years' courses in the college of law of the same institution. Mr. Heminger was raised on a farm, but on account of a physical disability was compelled to seek a livelihood in some other occupation. He has made his own way and he has made good. His popularity at home is attested by the fact that he has always run ahead of his ticket. PROLTY FOR CONGRESS. It is with pleasure that the Editor of the Bystander is expressing his preference of the nominees for Congress of the 7th Congressional District. We favor Hon. S. F.

He has pledged to support and aid the great principles that Hon. A. B. Cummins and J. P. Dolliver have been fighting so vigorously for. Second, he will stand by and for those men opposed to the Clinton-Pinnick Czar rule. Third, he will work for the interest of the West and Iowa in particular. Forth, he is a true friend of the colored race and is the ablest of the condivides from this district, and therefore if this district is a progressive district let us send a true progressive down there to assist Cummins and Dolliver and not to antagonize them as now.

Clinton, Iowa,—Miss May Ringson is dead, former Chief of Police William Lorenzen is seriously wounded and Elmer Liston, murderer of the girl, is injured as the result of an attack made on the girl by Liston, who shot the police officer in resisting arrest. He killed the girl by a bullet through the mouth and brain and then turned the gun on himself, inflicting a glancing wound in the skull. A bullet fired by the officer also wounded him, taking effect in Liston's body. The murderer was arrested after burricanding himself in a room at the Ringson home on Olney avenue, where the crime took place, and, holding the entire Clinton police and sheriff's force at bay for more than two hours by reason of the strategic position he occupied. Standing over the body of the dead girl, Liston shot through the door repeatedly and held the fort even after the door had been battered down by the officers, who used a long ladder to accomplish the purpose, and when the fire department had vainly tried to flood him out with a stream of water, with two wounds in the head and body, the desperate man, weak from loss of blood, succumbed to the demands of the officers, who guaranteed him protection from the angry mob which threnged around the house, risking bullets which they feared might be fired from windows by the cornered murderer. Liston is 35 years old, and has a wife and family, but is understood to have kept company with the Ringson girl, who was 22, for two years. Liston came from Galesburg and intended driving with the girl to Morrison, Ill., but the couple marrried and the frenzied man shot her, afterwards wounding the policeman and falling in an attempt to take his own life.

When we first began our wonderful work of growing all kinds, all qualities, all lengths, and all conditions of hair, even to the growing of hair on bald places of the head, many persons scorned the idea that such a thing was possible; but we have grown the hair for hundreds; rapidly achieving success.
