AN IOWA MAN HONORED. We take pleasure in announcing to his friends the very signal honor that has recently come to Mr. J. Frank Blagburn, one of Iowa's best known men and formerly our fellow townman, but for the past seven years cashier in the office of the Recorder of Deeds, Washington, D. C. Mr. Blagburn having been elected a delegate to the Electoral College of the M. E. church, Baltimore conference, whose sessions were held in Baltimore, Md., was by that body that brought the Baltimore conference in the general conference which convenes in Kansas City, Mo., in May 1912. Mr. Blagburn is the fourth man to be accorded this honor in the country, and it speaks well for the genial personality of Iowa's son, that after so short a residence in the national capital he has become a national personality of his principal opponent, Prof. J. T. Layton, a life-long resident of Washington, D. C., well known for his production of Colidger Taylor's "Hiwatha." We note also in our Washington exchange Mr. Blagburn's from other things contains the announcement of his election to the high office of District Superintendent of the Association of Sunday Schools of the District of Columbia.

ANDERSON Members of the Profession From Many Sections of the Country Attended Second Annual Session In New York. Duty of Negre Journals to Lead in Racial Advancement. By N. BARNETT DODSON. The morning and afternoon sessions of the second annual meeting of the National Negro Press association was held in the Metropolitan building, New York, on Tuesday, Aug. 16. The evening session was held at St. Cyprian P. E. church on Sixty-third street. The meeting was called to order by James H. Anderson, editor of the Amsterdam News, New York. In bidding the editors and correspondents welcome to the city Mr. Anderson said: "You will find New York a very pretty place. Here you may come in contact with the best and most helpful influences of journalism. We have here the best typographers and most finished reporters. "The great need of Negro journalism in this country," he said, "is affiliation with some great association which distributes news, such as the Associated Press. "If we prove that we mean business," he continued, "I have no doubt that the day will come when many of us will have an Associated Press franchise. "You will find the press of this city cordial and courteous in its treatment of race questions. It is true that we do things that deserve condemnation and disapproval in our demus. On the other hand, they do not withhold commendation when it is due us." "There are times when we are caricatured and ridiculed, but I will not say that is not generally our own fault. Prejudice does exist here. It could not be otherwise when you consider that in this city every nation is represented, and as a consequence we must feel what I may term a combination of prejudice. "Our duty should be to lead in the advancement of the Negro race. We can mold sentiment, white sentiment as well as colored, and we should be systematically aggressive. The white press appreciates intelligent aggressiveness and is more impressed by it than by indecision and lack of definite policy." After Mr. Anderson's address President R. W. Thompson outlined the program for the day and introduced N. Barnett Dodson, editor of the Afro-American page of the American Press Association, who told in a brief way how the service began and the manner in which it is supplied to editors and publishers. M.

Fitzgerald is Taken Into Custody After Federal Jury Returns indictment in $173,000 Robbery Committed Three Years Ago. Chicago.—The federal grand jury has again indicted George W. Fitzgerald who was formerly assuring other at the Help of a lifetime embezzlement in this city, on the charge of embezzling $173,000 from the government. Fitzgerald was arrested in his office Wednesday by the federal authorities. District Attorney Edwin W. Sims said the indictment was returned several months ago, but was suppressed. Fitzgerald is said to have been trapped by a story given out some time ago that the statute of limitations intervened and that wheeve committees could not prosecute. This story is declared to have been circulated for the express purpose of misleading Fitzgerald. William Boldweck, under whom Elzigerald served, sent his resignation as subtreasurer to President Taft September 8. He is to leave office September 17 and to be succeeded by Len Small of Kankakee. He denied that his resignation had anything to do with the disappearance of the $173,000. George W. Fitzgerald, who was assorting teller in the subresearch, was arrested first on August 22, 1908, on a bench warrant issued by Judge Chelain at the request of Assistant State's Attorney James J. Barbour. He was in $50,000 ball. When the case came up for hearing United States Attorney Sims formed a graphic order from the attorney general of the United States prohibiting federal employees from testifying. The government's representatives at that time stated that they opposed the trial of the case in the state court under the advice and direction of District Attorney Sims because testimony adduced at the trial might prevent the government bringing its case against a suspect to trial. Fitzgerald was under suspicion at the time the $173,000 disappeared from his custody, February 20, 1907. He was at that time handling large amounts of government funds. Late on the day of the shortage he was directed to turn his cash over to another bank, and a few minutes later he announced to the cashier of the subtreasury that he was short $173,000. A vigorous search was made for the money and all the funds in the subtreasury were counted by experts and the books were checked up, but all to no avail. BALLINGER FATE POSTPONED Congressional Committee Meets, but Not Having a Quorum, Adjourns Until December 3. Chicago—Not until next December will Richard A. Ballinger, secretary of the interior, learn the verdict arrived at by the congressional investigating committee. Six members of the committee met in Chicago Tuesday to take action on the majority report, but after deliberating several hours, without a quorum present, an adjournment was taken until December The members present were: Senator Elibu Root of New York, Knute Nelson of Minnesota, George Suther- land, Representative, E. O. Olmstead of Pennsylvania, S. W. Me- Call of Massachusetts and Edwin Doben of Michigan, all Republicans. Senator Flint of California, appointed by Vice-President Sherman to serve on the committee, is still abroad, and in his absence the other six prepared a statement in which they declare that the majority resolution adopted at Minneapolis declaring Secretary Ballinger guilty of the charges made against him was "irrational." The Nelson declared that he might call another meeting of the committee before congress convenes, and said that in the event of Senator Flint arriving prior to that time, he together with the six who attended the meeting here, would constitute a quorum.

PROBABLY WIN LEGISLATURE Four Republican Congressmen Are Defeated-State issues Are Given as Cause for Change of Political Complexion of State. Augusta, Me.-Col. Frederick W. Plalsted, mayor of this city, was elected governor at the election held in this state Monday. The Democrats have probably elected four congressmen and it is likely that they will have a majority in the state legislature. That state issues, notably the drastic enforcement of the privilibrary law by the party in power, have been chiefly responsible for the election of Plalsted is freely admitted on both sides and this result is not much of a challenge to close observers, but that the political complexion of Maine representation in congress should be changed is regarded as the verdict of the voters on the questions which are uppermost in the Insurgent west. Should the legislature prove to be Democratic it is altogether likely that the question of maintaining the prohibitory law will be submitted to the people and of course a Democrat will succeed Eugene Hale in the United States senate. Returns from the state received on Tuesday from all but twenty-one towns in the state give Plainsted (Dem.), for governor, a majority over Proposition 151 votes. Hinds and Guernsey, Republicans, and McCillicuddy and Gould, Democrats, are elected to congress. Returns from all but two small representative classes give the Democrats 21 out of the 31 state senators and 88 out of the 151 representatives. Phoenix, Ariz — Conservative estimates show that the Democrats have elected a majority of delegates to the Constitutional convention and that the initiative and referendum has carried overwhelmingly.

Five Presidents of Packing Companies Charged With Having Violated the Sherman Anti-Trust Law. Chicago. — Ten men, five of them presidents of the most extensive packing companies in the world and all of them directors of the National Packing company, which has been the special object of recent governmental investigation, were indicted by the federal grand jury on a charge of having violated the Sherman anti-trust act. Three indictments, the first one containing five counts and the others one each, were returned before Judge Kesawen M. Landis, who emanaled the grand jury two months ago. The maximum penalty for each violation of the Sherman act is a fine of $5,000 or imprisonment for one year, or both. The indictments charge that all of the defendants have engaged in a combination in restraint of interstate trade in fresh meats, that they have engaged in a conspiracy in restraint of trade and that they have monopolized the trade in fresh meats by unlawful means. The indictments cover 125 pages of possession matter. They go into every angle of the packing industry in this country and contain the allegation that 85 per cent. of the fresh meat consumed in the eastern, western and middle southern states comes directly from the companies controlled by the defendants. The proportion of each concern in this trade is given as follows: Swift group of houses, 47 per cent.; Armour group, 40 per cent.; Morris group, 13 per cent. Chicago—Seven of the Chicago meat packers indicted by the federal grand jury on charges of conspiracy to acquire and prepared before Indus Landis Tuesday and gave bonds in the sum of $30,000 each. By their prompt appearance Ley escaped arrest on bench warrants which Judge Landis had ordered issued. The first packer to put in an appearance was J. Ogden Armour. He was followed by Arthur Meeker, Edward Tilden, Edward H. Morris, Louis H. Heyman, Edward F. and Charles H. Swift. Francis A. Fowler, also indicted, was reported ill by his counsel, who promised to bring him in. In a room filled with the representations were made that Louis F. Swift and Thomas J. Connors will give the required bonds on their return from Europe, which will be within a few days. The judge did not require the personal appearance of the packers in court. The indicted men were represented by Levy Mayer, John S. Miller and George T. Buckingham. The court stipulated that each packer be held under bond of $30,000 on the total bond of the indemnition, thus making the total bond of each defendant $30,000, and the aggregate of the bonds of the ten packers $300,000. Attorney Miller pleaded with Judge Landis for a reduction of the bond to $,000 on each count, an was the judge in jail, backers were indicted five years ago.

Owen Seaman, editor of Punch, was the principal guest at a dinner of the London Authors' club recently, which was followed by a discussion on "Humor." Mr. Seaman began with a story deprecating the spoiling of a good dinner by any discussion at all. There were three characters in the story—a bluebottle and two Scotsmen. The story at once struck a note of probability by showing the Scotsmen drinking whisky. The bluebottle buzzed on the pane; otherwise silence reigned. This was broken by one of the Scotsmen trying to locate the bluebottle with zoological exactitude. Said the Scotsman: "Sandy, I'm thinking if you fly is a bird or a beast." The other replied: "Man, don't spoil good whisky with religious conversation." A Business Transaction. "So Mr. Penniwiise married his typist!" said Miss Cayenne. "Yes."

When prominent men realize the injurious effects of coffee and the change in health that Postum can bring, they are glad to lend their testimony for the benefit of others. A superintendent of public schools in a Southern state says: "My mother, since her early childhood, was an inveterate coffee drinker, had been troubled with her heart for a number of years and complained of that 'weak all over' feeling and sick stomach. "Some time ago I was making an official visit to a distant part of the country and took dinner with one of the merchants of the place. I noticed a somewhat peculiar flavor of the coffee, and asked him concerning it. He replied that it was Postum. I was so pleased with it that, after the meal was over, I bought a package to carry home with me, and had wife prepare some for the next meal; the whole family liked it so well that we discontinued coffee and used Postum entirely. "I had really been at times very anxious concerning my mother's condition, but we noticed that after using Postum for a short time, she felt so much better than she did prior to its use, and had little trouble with her heart and no sick stomach; that the headaches were not so frequent, and her general condition much improved. This continued until she was as well and hearty as the rest of us. "I know Postum has benefited myself and the other members of the family, but in a more marked degree in the case of my mother, as she was a victim of long standing." We read the above letter! A new one appears from time to time. They are genuine, true, and full of human interest.

Foss, after many years in congress, during which he has become a strong member of the republican organization, may be defeated by George P. Englehard, progressive. Returns from 104 precincts out of 147 in the Tenth district give Englehard 3.132 against 2.786 for Foss. James R. Mann, an outspoken Cannon man, met stout resistance from his progressive opponents in the Second district. Returns were exceptionally meagre, but the first few precincts showed a close race. The Lorimer democrats who made his election to the senate possible were in nearly every instance renominated. The standpatters and progressives split even in the Eleventh and Thirteenth districts, John C. McKenzie, a progressive, was nominated in the Thirteenth by the republicans, while in the Eleventh George W. Conn, Jr., who opposed a progressive, was nominated. Speaker Cannon carried every county in his district. Two years ago the speaker was unopposed, so a comparison of his plurality with the figures at the previous election are valueless. Early returns indicated the renomination of Lee O'Neill Browne to the state house of representatives and also that of E. G. Shurtleff, republican, and speaker of the house, against whom a determined factional fight has been waged. Browne was recently acquitted of a charge of having bribed a state representative to vote for William Lorimer for United States senator. Alphasus K. Hartley was nominated for state treasurer by the democrats. There were two republican candidates for the position. The defeat of H. S. Boutell, after many years in congress, by F. H. Ganstergen, who announced himself as a progressive, caused little surprise locally. LIFE INSURANCE MEN MEET Favor Uniform Laws. Licensing of Companies and Punishment for Slanderous Statements. Des Moines, Sept. 16.—Uniform state laws providing for licensing the life insurance solicitors and prescribing punishment for soliciting life insurance without a license and protecting companies from slanderous statements made by competing agents in order to secure advantage were recommended by Wilmer L. Moore, president of the Southern States Life Insurance company of Atlanta, Ga., when he sounded the keynote of the fifth annual meeting of the American Life convention at the Savery, Mr. Moore declared also for a reduction of the expense of securing business and of managing companies, giving it as his opinion that it is better to let some other company get the business than to pay more than it is worth to secure it. President Hamilton in his annual address told of the growth of the association, saying that its business now amounts to more than that of all the policies in Canada and goes close to the billion dollar mark. Half Million Fees Collected. Des Moines, Sept. 16.—Secretary of State Hayward has made his biennial report on fee collections for the period ended June 30 last, which shows a total of fees collected through his office and turned over to the state treasury of $455,927.89. Of this amount over $84,000 was paid by owners of motor vehicles and over $126,000 came from oil inspections under his direction.

BEAUTIFUL IOWA There is nothing the matter west, wholesome most commonwealth in the point of view of the general happy social well-being of the people, you from any other state in the republic. I say this after having sojourned good states, and after having lived highly favored communities of the Iowa is as fair outwardly as it state into which a man could come home. Do you love the mountain back from countless rivers, will you gladden you with a sense of so feminine, than the shaggy giants? Are the plains and prairies doo, but dimpled, wherever you go your heart. Clean little cities; steady, quiet children bubbling out of innumerous cities, all so much alike that they newly shorn ewes just coming up one hysterical twins. And seven the cities long brown buildings grouped amiably is Iowa—happy, incomparable Iowa City within its limits, with not oak and breadth, content amid its pure sound—J. Chamberlain in N There is nothing the matter with Iowa. The state is the soundest, wholesomest commonwealth in the American Union. From the point of view of the general happiness and welfare, of the moral and social well-being of the people, you come up on an elevator into Iowa from any other state in the republic. I say this after having sojourned in and studied several other good states, and after having lived a long time in some of the most highly favored communities of the East. Iowa is as fair outwardly as it is inwardly. It is about the only state into which a man could come from any other state and feel at home. Do you love the mountains? These green hills, undulating back from countless rivers, will make you think of them, and yet will gladden you with a sense of something tenderer, something more feminine than the shaggy giants you have known. Are the plains and prairies dear to you? Here are fair prairies too, but dimpled, wherever you gaze, with a loving stallie that wins your heart. Clean little cities; steady, quiet little cities, with happy-faced children bubbling out of innumerable schoolhouses; endless little cities, all so much alike that they recall to me Solomon's fock of newly shorn ewes just coming up from the washing, whereof every one hath twins. And between the cities long miles of fat farms, with white or brown buildings, grouped amily on the tops of undulations; such is low—happy, incomparable Iowa, without a Pittsburgh, or Jersey City within its limits, with not one resting slum in all its length and breadth, content amid its bursting corn cribs, agriculture and pure sound—J. Chamberlain in New York Mall. --- TRIEST TO KILL SELF Following Death of Son, O. G. Hess Attempts Suicide Cecil Hess' Death in Denver Was Cause of Father's Action at Oskaloosa—Other Members of Family Prostrated. Des Moines, Sept. 15.—O. G. Hess, a wealthy retired farmer of Oskaloosa, attempted to kill himself by cutting his throat Friday night when the news arrived from Denver that his son, Cecil Hess, aged 24 years, of Des Moines, had committed suicide by shooting himself through the head. Other members of the Hess family, according to telegrams received in Des Moines, are prostrated with grief. It is said that the elder Hess was kept under guard by friendly neighbors all night after surgeons had dressed his wounds. Cecil Hess was formerly a student in the medical department of Drake university. He was a football player and prominent in all athletics. A year ago he took up his studies in Denver. A telegram from Denver said that on Friday he had killed himself in the presence of his landlady, Mrs. Denny, giving as his reason for the deed, his failure in his examinations. In the young man's pocket was found a telegram from Miss Mildred Stults of 1353 West Twenty-sixth street, one of Hess' friends when he was in school here. The telegram reads, "Come at once. Wire me when you arrive." Miss Stults' father, Dr. Mallard Stults, was formerly a practicing physician of Des Moines. He is now in Wiota, Ia. Mrs Stults refused to allow her daughter to see anyone Saturday. Rural Carriers Elect Officers.

Finds Pure White Sparrow Marshaltown—John Chinn, a farmer living southeast of the city, has a curiosity in the shape of a snow white sparrow, which he wounded while shooting into a flock of English sparrows. The bird looks in every way like the ordinary English sparrow, with the exception that it is white. Mr. Chinn is making every effort to save the bird's life, that it may be turned over to some scientific society in an effort to determine the species. So far as known white sparrows have ever been seen in this region. Fire Destroys Barn Iowa City—Fire, due to lightning destroyed the huge barn of Reynold Sivers, near Mt. Vernon, during a fierce electrical storm, and several thousands of dollars' worth of horses, grain and machinery were burned. Nearby, in a field, nine of Frank Watson's cows were killed by lightning.

Waterloo Dairy Show. Waterloo, Iowa. The final arrangements have been perfected for holding the Iowa Dairy convention at Waterloo. In connection with the convention there will be the greatest show of dairy cattle, dairy machinery and creamery exhibits ever seen west of the Mississippi river. The convention and show will be held during the week beginning October 10. The week follows the Illinois State Fair and immediately precedes the National Dairy Show and because of this fact exhibitors as a rule will welcome the opportunity of making an additional show rather than lying idle during that week awaiting the opening of the National Dairy Show. Waterloo is so situated that those who plan to exhibit at both the Illinois State Fair and the National Dairy Show can, with little extra expense include the Iowa Dairy Show and convention in their itinerary. The Chautauqua Park Coliseum, a circular building 160 feet in diameter, has been secured for housing the cattle exhibits and booths. It will be possible to care for about 500 head of cattle, and a premium fund is being provided that will be great enough to be attractive to exhibitors. There are several other excellent buildings on the Chautauqua grounds. The buttermakers' and dairy men's annual convention will be in session during the same week. Ames Man and His Crop. Mason City.—The biggest yield of Mats known in the county this year was raised by T. E. Wagner, a farmer of Owen township, who has thrashed, machine measure, seventy bushels per acre from a ten-acre field of oats which has weighed out 92.5 bushels. Another field of seventy-five acres averaged, machine measure, forty-four bushels per acre. A twenty-five acre field of barley yielded thirty-eight bushels per acre. The grain was raised on land in part owned by Professor Marston of Ames. It has been perfectly filed under the personal direction of Professor Marston and in every way is a first-class farm. Has Milked 195,640 Cows Owen township is the home of a remarkable family. It is that of Mr. and Mrs. Neil Fullerton, who came here thirty-eight years ago. They have raised a family an honor to any home. One of the sons is president of the State Teachers' association, another a candidate for the legislature in Oklahoma. Mr. Fullerton is 79 years old and is still very active. It is estimated that during his lifetime he has milked 195,640 cows, and going to and from town has traveled a distance equal to twice around the globe. His wife is just as active and has accomplished much in building up the home. Nineteenth Infantry Reunion Nineteenth Iowa infantry are now living, according to the roster kept by the present secretary of the association formed by the old soldiers, J. M.

TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE "Our baby when two months old was suffering with terrible eczema from head to foot, all over her body. The baby looked just like a skinned rabbit. We were unable to put clothes on her. At first it seemed to be a few mattered pimples. They would break the skin and peel off leaving the underneath skin red as though it were scalds. Then a few more pimples would appear and spread all over the body, leaving the baby all raw without skin from head to foot. On top of her head there appeared a heavy scab a quarter of an inch thick. It was awful to see so small a baby look as she did. Imagine! The doctor was afraid to put his hands to the child. We tried several doctors' remedies but all failed. "Then we decided to try Cuticura. By using the Cuticura Ointment we softened the seab and it came off. Under this, where the real matter was, by washing with the Cuticura Soap and applying the Cuticura Ointment, a new skin soon appeared. We also gave baby four drops of the Cuticura Resolvent three times daily. After three days you could see the baby gaining a little skin which would peel off and heal underneath. Now the baby is four months old. She is a fine picture of a fat little baby and all is well. We only used one cake of Cuticura Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Ointment and one bottle of Cuticura Resolvent. If people would know what Cuticura is there would be few suffering with eczema.

The winding serves as one plate of the condenser, the frame of the receiver as the dielectric and the person who is holding the receiver to his car as the other plate of the condenser.
