The rally at the Union Congregational church last Sunday was a success even though the weather that week was wet and rainy they realized $221.00 in cash and its equivalents and $170.00 additional pledges to be paid in a few days. So the goal was $500.00 that they set was nearly reached, if the new 'pledges are paid. Great credit was due the Sunday school, led by the enthusiastic and hard worker, Mr. L. J. Shelton who brought in $1.51 cash. Even the little Infant Sunday school class taught by Miss Marle Bell laid down $25.00. It is hoped by the coming Sunday that all those pledges will have come in and on next week the entire mortgage will be raised. CITY LITERARY CONVENTION.

Haskell of Oklahoma, who is being tried at South McAllister, by the U. S. Federal Court for being a party in some large land fraud whereby he secured some thousands of acres of land from the Indians and Negroes by misrepresentations. What is our public men coming to in this country, JOW AMAN INVENTOR. We received a communication from one of Iowa men who formerly lived in Des Moines but now living in Charleston, W. Va., who is making a great success there. His name is Firman C. Brown, who owns the hotel Brown and has recently invented a very valuable invention called the Brown Food Warmer, a device to carry your dinner in your pails and at the noon hour have your warm meals the same at as home. Alsa to meals the same at home. Also to any part of the city and have it as warm as when it left the restaurant. It will prove a great help to the working man. We have a cut of it and it does seem as though it will do all the inventor claims. Success Mr. Brown. GENERAL REVIEW. For several months we have not written any editorials in the Bystander, using that space for the "Editor's Observations," in my travels, which we thought would be more instructive and of more general interest to the Bystander readers to know the progress that the progressive element of the race was making. We will now write editorials until we take up the Missouri field again next month, as we are now holding a part of the Missouri observations until we start next month. This past summer and fall I have traveled over several thousands of miles, visiting most of the larger cities in the middle west, and as one [wife have carefully observed and inquired into the financial and industrial condition of my people in every town, I find a marked improvement and general advancement along educational and financial lines, but not so marked progress along the moral and civil lines that they should have made. Parents are too lax with their girls and boys, and oftimes the law have to correct them where home teaching should have taught them. True we are buying homes and will soon have them paid for, and in many instances they are buying the second property. Our places of business is now run on a better business idea and more up-to-date. Thus it has been a long hard struggle for the race, when one considers the small wages they are often forced to work for, yet all in all I saw many things to feel hopeful. COLOR LINE IN OUR JAIL. Last week Scott Wise, the jailor, by authority no doubt of the sheriff, stated that he would draw the color line in our county jail, having separate cells for the colored women and white women and colored men and white men. A public officer separating the criminals and vicious of the races! It is a shame to the state, county and city of Des Moines to start such a jim crow business. We are surprised beyond expression that republican county officials should attempt to raise the color question in the public discharge of his official duty. It is an insult to every honest, reasonable and respectable citizen in Polk county. It is a dangerous step for the republicans to take. It was rumored to-day that one of our penal institutions has just started to draw the color line since Hon. John Cownie is off the Board of Control. If this be true, and I shall find out, we will appeal to Governor Carroll to stop the superintendent of this institution from doing such a thing. The Bystander has been very tolerant about these injustices constantly thrown at my race, but when public servants whom we help nominate and elect, discriminate on account of color then we will expose and will continually speak our voice against such gross injustices and monster inequalities practice any where.

EPISCOPALIANS IN CONFERENCE Important Topics Discussed at Session Held In Cleveland. QUESTION OF NEGRO BISHOPS At Twenty-sixth Annual Meeting Episcopal Church Workers Among Colored People Indorse Action of Their North Carolina Brethren In Reference to Official Prestige. The twenty-sixth annual conference of religious workers of the Episcopal church among colored people began its sessions in Trinity cathedral, Cleveland, O., on Tuesday evening; Sept. 27. The conference will be in session for four days. The principal address of welcome to the conference was delivered by the Right Rev. William A. Leonard, D. D., bishop of the diocese, who was followed by the dean of Trinity cathedral, who bade the conference welcome on behalf of his congregation. The annual sermon, which was listened to by a vast audience, was preached by the venerable Archdeacon kussel of southern Virginia. The subsequent sessions of the conference REV. ROBERT W. BAGNALL. were held in St. Andrew's church, of which the Rev. Robert W. Bagnall is the rector. The organization is composed of the priests and other workers who are assigned to duty among colored congregations, most of whom are members of the race. Various papers were read and discussed with reference to practical questions in connection with church extension among the colored race. It was the first time in the history of the conference that it has ever met in the state of Ohio. It was in and from an institution located within the bounds of this diocese that more than fifty years ago the first colored man ever made a priest in the Episcopal church graduated from the full course of an Episcopal seminary. This man was the late William Johnson Alston, a native of North Carolina, who, leaving his native state, went to Ohio and graduated from Kenyon college in 1830. Since then there have been colored men who have graduated from every Episcopal theological seminary in the country, save one in Virginia and one in Tennessee. The principal question which occupied the attention of the conference REV. GEORGE F. BRAGG. was that of "Negro bishops." The conference is committed to the proposition of having Negro bishops for the colored work, and as the national body of the Episcopal church convenes a week later in the city of Cincinnati it is quite likely that action will be taken in that direction. The sentiment of the conference on this question was tersely expressed in a recent resolution of the Negro convocation of North Carolina, in which it declared, "We are unequivocally in favor of a missionary jurisdiction or districts for the Negro race, with a Negro bishop, and we do not in any sense favor a suffragan bishop for the work among Negroes." Among some of the more prominent leaders in the association are the Rev. Henry L. Phillips, D. D., rector of the Church of the Crucifixion, Philadelphia, who is the senior Negro priest in this country and also president of the conference; the Rev. George F. Bragg, Jr., D. D., rector of St. James' church, Baltimore, general secretary and histiographer of the conference; the venerable Archdeacon E. R. Bennett of Jacksonville, Fla., who is vice president and chairman of the committee on topics; the Rev. Robert W. Bagnall, rector of the church where the sessions of the conference were held, and the venerable Archdeacon Henry EMBER 30, 1910. MT Many B. attend the R. Coalson.

Delaney of North Carolina, for many years vice principal of St. Augustine's school, Raleigh, N. C. The conference as an organization working for the moral and religious betterment of our people under the special auspices of the Episcopal church has been a brilliant success. Many knotty problems have been unraveled by those in charge of the work where the interest of the race was at stake. Another special benefit which has come to us—the race—from the very cordial relations which our men sustain to the white peoples is the fact that the desires and aspirations of the race have been better understood by the white people, and our cause thereby has been helped. The question of having a colored man as bishop over the work among our people is one which we feel sure will receive due consideration. There is no risk to be run by such an appointment, as we have men fully capable in every way to fill such a station with dignity and with credit to all concerned. AFRO-AMERICAN WOMAN WINS HEAVY DAMAGES. Richmond (Va.) Traction Company Forced to Pay Miss Sharp $2,500. Further proceedings were denied on Sept. 17 by the supreme court in the case of Miss Irene Sharp against the Richmond (Va.) Traction company and Henry T. Wickham and William Northrop, receivers. The company took an appeal from the verdict of the law and equity court of the city of Richmond, which was refused. Miss Irene Sharp is an elderly Afro-American woman who was injured by a fall from a Broad and Main car at Seventh and Broad streets on Feb. 10, 1905. She was a passenger on the car, the evidence showing that she got up to follow the other persons to the street. When she had placed one foot on the ground, she testified, the car started, and she was thrown to the ground and seriously and permanently injured. The conductor said in defense that he gave the signal to go ahead and then saw that the woman was preparing to leave the car. He told her to wait and get off on the farther side of the cross street and did not think she would attempt to alight. She sued for $2,500 damages, the jury awarding her the full amount. BIG EDUCATIONAL RALLY. Generous Financial Aid Given Eight Worthy Young Women. The testimonial reception and educational rally held at the Bethesda Baptist church, New Rochelle, N. Y., on Thursday evening, Sept. 20, was a grand success. The affair was given for the purpose of raising funds to assist eight ambulatory young women through school. Miss F. Willa Davis was one of the prime factors in the movement, and it is encouraging to note the splendid cooperation which she received from her associates and the general public. The young women in whose honor the testimonial was given are the following: Misses Julia Trent, Kate Watson, Rosa Flowers, Maggie Foster, Nellie Burnette, Lillian Corbette, Nettie Benjamin and Lillian Moses. Scientific Course of Instruction. The Armstrong Manual Training school of Washington has added a new course of instruction to its excellent list of subjects this fall, which bids fair to become very popular as well as helpful. It might be called a course in aviation. Of course no attempts at flight will be made, but the principles of propelling an airship through its natural medium will be taught by means of a small model, which travels along a wire.

Quindaro, Kans., Sept. 26, 1910. To the Newspaper Fraternity, Greetings: The fourteenth annual session of the W. P. A. will convene at Muskegon, November 25-26, 1910. We are desirous of having it possible, every negro journal published within the bounds of the western half of the country, send a representative to participate in the deliberations of the session, and make it the most enthusiastic and profitable meeting ever held. There are now before the American people, and particularly the Negro, many momentous questions which vitally concern the civil, moral and political, present and future of our race, and our press, holding the mouthpiece, and moulder of public thought and sentiment, should be in unison and accord on all such questions. The Western Negro Uress association is a medium through which a happy solution and analysis of the race's advancement, civil and legal rights may be agreed upon, and serves a field of usefulness that no other organization can possibly serve. It has, in its history of fourteen years, in several instances of great problems and demonstrations to the power and influence it is composed of men and women who have made a record for race loyalty, progress and attainment; who are alive and wide awake to the needs of the race. Our meeting at Muskogee will be an epoch-making one, and will be attended by many noted men and women of our race from every section of the country. The citizens are making special efforts to welfare and the care they with a genuine hospitality, and each and every frater is cordially requested to be present and share in the generosity of the citizens of Muskogee. Take your Thanksgiving vacation at this time and to this place and on this occasion. Write A. J. Smitherman, vice president, Muskogee, Okla., for programs or desired information. Yours for the race.

By the way, is it possible to play golf is Esperanto? An American had the latest word regarding the best aviator. It takes a pretty clever man to get ahead of a meter of any kind. As yet the English language is not the least bit jealous of Esperanto. Wireless has proven that it can create just as much excitement as an aerophone. When an automobile strikes a railroad train, the victims are those in the machine. Another way to attain greatness is to be made president of a hay-fever sufferer's society. Paris is losing her cab horses, but no noticeable decrease in the price of meats is reported. It is easier to muzzle the canines than it is to keep firearms out of the hands of possible assassins. Don't think it's by accident that a woman hits the object directly behind her. She merely fineshes her aim. Keeping cool would be easier if the fellows who have advice to give on the subject would keep quiet. A selsmograph is a very useful instrument. It seems to keep all earthquakes at least 2,000 miles away. Boston now attains notice as a port of entry for smuggled Chinamen. You simply cannot keep a good down town. Another sleepwalker has walked out of a third-story window. Slumber pedestrians should sleep in the basement. Boston boasts that it has the oldest shop girl in the world. She should be ready presently for musical comedy chorus work. These New Yorkers who spend $6,000 a year on dress must be big men in order to find room to hang all the garments. "Powder and cream are a necessity to protection for girls who fear sunburn," says a headline. We suggest living in the cellar. Princess Mary of England has learned how to run a typewriter. Now if some of the dukes and lords would only take up honest toll! And now the peace advocates will find that the new gun which shoots 10,000 times a minute is the thing that is really going to stop warfare. The university professor who thinks mathematics and poetry are alike has probably never tried mathematics on a romantic girl in the moonlight. A Maine man tells a story of a frightened deer jumping into his lap while he was out driving in a buggy. Is the gentleman sure that his spelling is correct? According to a learned professor, the typewriter is the poetry of motion. Presumably he intended to add that the motion must be supplied by the right young woman operator. An English woman is preparing to fly across the English channel and back. Her manager should see to it that on the French side she does not go as far as the shops in Paris. That new gun will be but an additional argument for the agitators for a universal peace, also a weapon in the hands of some poor nation that does not believe in that order of things. While the airship is still in its experimental stage and ambitious aeronauts are meeting with accidents repeatedly, it is still evident that aerial navigation has become a permanent feature of travel. In Europe preparations continue to be made for regular traveling schedules in airships, not withstanding the disasters that have happened to some of these craft. A New Jersey man has discovered that mosquitoes eat plants. This is an important natural discovery. It has hitherto been supposed, and with a good deal of circumstantial evidence to support the supposition, that the mosquito was stricty carnivorous in its diet and exclusively nocturnal in its meal hours. He will thankfully be received by a bitten, angry and sleepy world of humans. Push-cart peddlers have formed a national organization. Perhaps they have discovered that the banana is one of the necessities of life and are going to do the regulation thing to celebrate the discovery. A man found senseless on the street with his pockets turned inside out was locked up by the Philadelphia police as a witness. It is difficult to imagine the injury to the inflexible purse of justice if this person should escape from the duty of testifying that he did not know what hit him. Now someone thinks he is about to invent a noiseless cannon. What will be the fun of wun- war stories if in the future we are not permitted to speak of the deafening roar of cannon and the rattle of muskety? A woman in Pennsylvania shoot at a pet dog and hit her husband. He disbelieved her account of the target intended and had her arrested, but there was everything in the circumstantial evidence to sustain her. If she had shot at her husband, she would probably have hit the pet dog. STIMSON IS CHOSEN RECEIVES NOMINATION FOR GOV- ERNOR AT NEW YORK RE- PUBLICAN CONVENTION. DIRECT PRIMARIES WIN OUT Platform Indores Administrations of Taft and Hughes, Says Payne Tarriff Law is Success and Commends Work of Last Congress. Saratoga, N. Y.—The following ticket was nominated by the Republic state convention on Wednesday: For Governor—Henry L. Stimson of New York. Lieutenant Governor — Edward Schoenack of Onondaga. Secretary of State—Samuel S. Koenig of New York. Comptroller-James Thompson of Valley Falls. Treasurer—Thomas F. Fennell of Elmhurst. Attorney General—Edward R. O'Malley of Buffalo. State Engineer and Surfveor- Frank M. Williams of Madison. Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals—Irving G., Vann of Syracuse. The platform as adopted indores the administrations of President Taft and Governor Hughes; declares that the Payne tariff law has been a success, and refers with approval to the wr-k of the last congress. It pledges the continuance of the state graft inquiry "until all wrongdoing of exposure shall be brought to light." The plank relating to direct primaries is brief, but admits of no misconstruction. "We promise legislation which will enact these principles into law," is the pledge. the tarmi pank says: "The Payne tariff law reduced the average rate of all duties 11 per cent, and increased it of some luxuries and articles not of ordinary use, making, however, no increase on any common food product, it turned a national deficit into a surplus. Under its first year of operation the value of imports free of duty was the greatest in our history by $109,000,000 and the average rate of duty was less than under the Wilson law. Unlike that Democratic law, its great reductions of duty have not stopped industry or deprived labor of any part of its hire. It gives us the right to trade with the islands and it establishes a customs court, its maximum and minimum rates give us for the first time equality of opportunity with other nations in our foreign trade. "We come here feeling that we have the right to appeal to the people from the standpoint alike of national and state achievement. During the last eighteen months a long ist of laws, embodying legislation most heartily to be commended as combining wisdom with progress, has been enacted by congress and approval by President Taft. They represent an earnest of the achievement which is yet to come; and the beneficence and far-reaching importance of this work, done for the whole people, measure the credit which is rightly due to the congress and to our able, upright and distinguished president, William Howard Taft."

MARSHALL DOLSTIMORE AMERICAN TELLING AGAIN THE STORY OF THE BATTLE. LORIMER FOES WIN CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE MEN DECIDE TO HEAR EVI- DENCE ABOUT "JACK-POT." WILL WIDEN INQUIRY SCOPE Charles A. White on Stand as First Witness Retells His Story of Alleged Bribery in Election of United States Senator. Chicago.—As a result of a decision made by the senate investigating committee overruling Attorney Han's objection to Charles W. Han's testimony on the Bribery Monday, all "jack-pot" and other evidence dealing with alleged bribery of Illinois legislators to vote for Senator William Lorimer will be admitted. Actions on making permanent ruling to admit "jack-pot" testimony were made, each side being allowed twenty minutes. Upon the conclusion of the arguments they ruled that the question which precipitated should be answered. We should then hereto even each "jack-pot" question should be ruled upon separately. Attorney Haney's objection came when Representative Charles A. White was on the stand. White had told his story of the alleged offer of $1,000 to vote for Lorimer for senator and had begun to tell the committee that in addition he was promised a share in the "jack-pot" when Attorney Haney interrupted. Attorney Haney submitted that the "jack-pot" evidence was irrelevant to the bribery case. The committee retired to a private room for deliberation and after ten minutes decided that Mr. Haney's objection could not stand. The decision is taken to widen the scope of the inquiry to include every action which in any way has bearing on Senator Lorimer's election. Chicago—United States Senator William Lorimer, whose right to seat in the upper house of congress is to be determined by a senate committee, won a victory Tuesday. Senator Burrows, chairman of the committee, refused to be relieved to bribery in the election of the senator could be given by the witnesses at the inquiry in progress. The decision was given after Mr. Burrows had read a long decision made by a similar committee which investigated the election of Senator George E. Spencer on charges of having obtained his seat through bribery and corrupt practises, and found him not guilty.

THREATENED BY PLAGUE U. S. THREATENED BY PLAGUE EMIGRANTS FROM CHOLERA DISTRICTS TEMBALBOR FOR AMERICA. New York and Washington Officials Paris — Reports from Italy through private sources declare that Italian emigrants from the districts of that country which are scourged with cholera are being shipped at Genoa for the United States. The French press echoes the French government's resentment at Italy's concealment of the cholera situation and points out that, while the authorities at Naples notified other Italian cities of the presence of cholera and refused to clear steamers for other Italian ports, they insisted abroad that the disease was gastroenteritis and gave the steamers bound, for French and other Mediterranean ports clean bills of health. New York — The most effective precautions possible are already being taken against the entrance of cholera infection into this country, said Dr. Alvah H. Doly, health officer of the port of New York, when his attention was called to the reported embarkation at Genoa for America of immigrants from the infected districts of Italy. WAGE WAR ON SUGAR TRUST New Action Against American Refining Company is Ordered by Attorney General Wickersham. Washington—Orders from the attorney general to District Attorney Wise in New York to smash the sugar trust went out Monday and the action was completed a week. An amended petition, though much more comprehensive in its charges, has been prepared after a conference between the attorney general, District Attorney Wise, Special Attorney Simpson and Mr. McReynolds. It charges the sugar trust with violation of the Sherman anti-trust law and the court is asked to dissolve the trust and issue an injunction restraining the American Sugar Refining company of New Jersey from voting the shares of the subsidiary companies pending the redistribution of these shares among their original owners. The action will be in all respects similar to that which resulted in the smashing of the Standard Oil company in the United States circuit court and in a general way it resembles the action against the tobacco trust. HOLD UP CAR IN DAYLIGHT Six Armed Bandits: Take $130 From Passengers on St. Paul Inter-urban Train. St. Paul, Minn. — Six armed bandits secured $180 on a crowded interurban street car, fouled knives and revolvers in the faces of passengers, fought their way to the rear of the car and made their escape in broad daylight.

PRAISE FGR LA FOLLETTE PRAISE FGR LA FOLLETTE CONVENTION CALLS SENATOR PIONEER PROGRESSIVE. Wisconsin Republicans Declare Payne Tariff Law Falls to Carry Out Party Pledges. Madison, Wis.—Sharp criticism of the Payne tariff law, a demand for the physical valuations of railroads and unstinted praise of Senator La Follette as the pioneer "progressive" are the principal planks of the platform adopted by the Republican state convention Wednesday. Indorsement of the state's strongly "insurgent" delegation in congress and a slap at President Taft are expressed in the following resolution: "Wisconsin is to be congratulated upon having representatives in the senate and house who remained true to the people and to the national plATFORM the party, notwithstanding the efforts to punish them, for so doing by withdrawal of federal patronage." "The Payne-Aldrich tariff is not a compliance with the pledge of the Republican party in its national platform. The true basis of protective tariff is the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad, and we hold any increased cost of production of living of American labor should be accompanied by compensating tariff duties. "The present tariff board has no power of investigation, and is not required to congress. We fear the creation of a nonpartisan tariff committee empowered to ascertain the cost of production in this and other countries, and required to make frequent reports of the information gained in congress. "Upon the information so obtained congress should proceed to revise the different schedules independently of each other, according to true protective tariff principles." Madison, Wis.-Wisconsin Democrats, in state platform convention, on Wednesday, who presided predicted a Democratic victory this fall, adopted a platform with leading planks as follows: Endorses the national platform of 1908; declares the Republican system of tariff economically unsound, politically corrupt and legalized robbery; the Payne-Aldrich tariff act is called an indefensible masterpiece of injustice. Favors a national education of United States senators by direct vote, opposes ship subides, denounces the Republican postal bank law, favors the conservation of national resources and denounces the present administration, especially Secretary Ballinger; state regulation and control of trusts, more stringent corrupt practices, popular vote on the initiative, referendum and recall, and comes out fatly against county option.

The Tenderfoot Farmer It was one of these experimental farmers, who put green spectacles on his cow and fed her shavings. His theory was that it didn't matter what the cow ate so long as she was fed. The questions of digestion and nourishment had not entered into his calculations. It was only a farmer that would try such an experiment with a cow. But many a farmer feeds himself regardless of digestion and nutrition. He might almost as well eat shavings for all the food he gets out of his food. The result is that the stomach grows "weak" the action of the organs of digestion and nutrition are impaired and the man suffers the miseries of dyspnea and the agonies of nervousness. To strengthen the stomach, restore the activity of the organs of digestion and nutrition and brace up the nreces, use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is an use for pain remedy, and has the confidence of physicians as well as the prince of thousands beaked by its use. In the strictest sense "Golden Medical Discovery" is a temperance medicine.

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT "My little son, a boy of five, broke out with an itching rash. Three doctors prescribed for him, but he kept getting worse until we could not dress him any more. They finally advised me to try a certain medical college, but its treatment did no good. At the time I was induced to try Cutucura he was so bad that I had to cut his hair off and put the Cutucura Ointment on him on bandages, as it was not a good idea. He had no hand. There was not one square inch of skin on his whole body that was not affected. He was one mass of sores. The bandages used to stick to his skin and in removing them it used to take the skin off with them, and the screams from the poor child were heartbreaking. I began to think that he would never get well, but after the second application of Cutucura Ointment I began to see signs of improvement, and with the third and fourth applications the sores commenced to dry up. His skin peeled off twenty times, and now I can say that he is entirely cured, and a stronger and healthier boy you never saw than he is to-day, twelve years or more since the cure was effected.

At this screamed, I grew worse and in bed for four hours, the only relief being from my pedromics. I was treated by three physicians without help and the last one said an operation was a necessary.

The disease affected the mouth and throats of the animals, they being unable to swallow.

Governor Carroll was not in the court room when Judge Howe received the verdict of the jury, but when apprised of the action said: "To say that I am gratified beyond measure is unnecessary. After listening to the testimony I don't believe any one would have expected any other verdict. I expected it and was not surprised when it came. No other verdict should have been returned."

(You have a bungalow in a sheltered spot, but near a summer hotel filled mainly with people who are working hard to kill time. It is on a morning when you have millions of things more or less to do that should have been done before and you are filled with a strong desire to do them. Girl in Blue (after three raps on the porch screen) "Oh, I thought you weren't! What—you are just up? My goodness! Well, they close the dining-room at the hotel at nine, so I have to get up. What's the matter with your porch? It looks different, somehow. Oh, you haven't had time to fix it up yet, this morning? "Say, you have forgotten its bridge club morning and it meets with me and I'm one short and I know you told Marie you couldn't come, but you just must! I can't find any one to fill the table! Oh, let your old work go—do it this afternoon. What's the difference? "In't something burning? Oh, that's too bad! It never occurred to me that your breakfast was cooking so late as a quarter after nine. "Well, if you won't play bridge I've got to go and find some one else and it's so much trouble. It's kind of selfish of you, I think. There comes Mrs. Binks! Let me out the back way!" (Stout, elderly woman with a workbag in her hand comes puffing up the walk). Good morning, my dear! isn't this a lovely day? I said to myself after breakfast that I'd just run down and keep you company for a while. It seems so lonely for you here by yourself. Besides, the children at the hotel are so noisy that they make my head ache. I brought my crocheting and I wish you'd let me see that spread in your room. "Oh, your room isn't done up yet? Tut, your room isn't done up yet? Tut, my dear. I'm afraid nowadays young women are slack housekeepers. When I was young we did things systematically. Why certainly, these young women take coffee out here on the porch, though I must say it's queer time of day for coffee, and you'll ruin your complexion." (Interval in which you attend to the man with the ice and the grocery boy, who comes for orders, and hunt up some green sewing silk for the neighbor across the way who calls to ask for it, Mrs. Binks keeping up a running fire to which she expects answers. Then a stuffy young woman comes along with a small boy. She sees you and strolls in.) Stuffy Young Woman—My, it's comfortable here. What do you do with yourself all day, though? Don't you get awfully lonesome? Tommy, leave those plants alone. Don't you ever use it? When you get a chance, you say. I suppose that a joke, because everybody says you're so witty. Tommy won't hurt it, will he? He loves machinery and it's so little. My goodness! You never paid $100 for that, but you didn't pay so much money. Do you care if I borrow some of these magazines? You haven't any of the late ones. Tommy loves to cut out the pictures. Oh. of course, if you haven't had time to read them yet yourself I won't let him cut them, but I don't see what difference it makes, because most of the store read just as well if you skip it. Man (leaning over the fence)—"Hello! Isn't this the deadest place? I can't come for a thing to do. Will you come for a walk? Oh, ! didn't see that you had company! Say, your flower bed needs watering, do you know it? And there are caterpillars on your honeycake vine by the gate. You want to get after them. (Stroils on.) Girl in blue (returning)—"Say, really, won't you come and fill up that bridge table? Haven't you got your old work done yet? Oh, how-do, Mrs. Blinks! It不 dreadful the way she buries herself down here with nothing to do! I should think she's get some lonesome! Won't you play in her place, Mrs. Blinks!" (They go away together and you get to work in earnest. Somebody whistles at the back door and then shakes it. You go to see what is wanted.) Small Boy (breathes)—"Mamma missed the vegetable man an' did you shake parsley, 'cause our aunt is comin' on today's boat an' we're going to have parsley on things! Got any cookies!" Rural Postman (calls from the front)—"Registered letter for you to sign." Two Woman Cottagers (stopping at the gate)—"Oh, we have been for the earth don't you ever go, instead of always sticking at home! Oh, you're always talking about work to do! Oh, of course, we have maids, but with just yourself there can't be much of anything to do here. Oh, you're writing letters! Well, letters don't take long in your short. Let's go in and sit awhile." (The stay till one o'clock and you hastily grab some food from the ice box and prepare to do some work. Just then the afternoon process begins.) ooles (from down the walk)—"Hello! you in!? Thought wed come down to keep you from getting lonely. And it's cooler here than at the hotel!" An Editor's Recollection. Do men flirt a great deal with strange women. The writer of this recalls that when a very young man he was once riding on a railroad train and admired a pretty girl across the alley. We frequently looked at her timidly, and once she winked in a broad, bold, unmistakable way, and had the shot at us we would not have been more thoroughly frightened. Marvelous speed of Ostrich. When terrified an ostrich will travel at the rate of twenty-five miles or hour. CALUMET BAKING POWDER CALUMET BAKING POWDER CO.

IOWA So far there are no fat aeronauts. By the way, is it possible to play golf is Esperanto? An American had the latest word regarding the best aviator. It takes a pretty clever man to get ahead of a meter of any kind. As yet the English language is not the least bit jealous of Esperanto. Wireless has proven that it can create just as much excitement as an aeroplane. When an automobile strikes a railroad train, the victims are those in the machine. Another way to attain greatness is to be made president of a hay-fever sufferers' society. Paris is losing her cab horses, but no noticeable decrease in the price of meats is reported. It is easier to muzzle the canines than it is to keep firearms out of the hands of possible assassins. Don't think it's by accident that a woman hits the object directly behind her. She merely fines her aim. Keeping cool would be easier if the fellows who have advice to give on the subject would keep quiet. A seismograph is a very useful instrument. It seems to keep all earthquakes at least 2,000 miles away. Boston now attains notice as a port of entry for smuggled Chinamen. You simply cannot keep a good town down. Another sleepwalker has walked out of a third-story window. Slumber pedestrians should sleep in the basement. Boston boasts that it has the oldest shop girl in the world.

"Powder and cream are a necessity to protection for girls who fear sunburn," says a headline. We suggest living in the cellar. Princess Mary of England has learned how to run a typewriter. Now if some of the dukes and lords would only take up honest toll! And now the peace advocates will find that the new gun which shoots 10,000 times a minute is the thing that is really going to stop warfare. The university professor who thinks mathematics and poetry are alike has probably never tried mathematics on a romantic girl in the moonlight. A Maine man tells a story of a frightened deer jumping into his lap while he was out driving in a buggy. Is the gentleman sure that his spelling is correct? According to a learned professor, the typewriter is the poetry of motion. Presumably he intended to add that the motion must be supplied by the right young woman operator. An English woman is preparing to fly across the English channel and back. Her manager should see to it that on the French side she does not go as far as the shops in Paris. That new gun will be but an additional argument for the agitators for a universal peace, also a weapon in the hands of some poor nation that does not believe in that order of things. While the airship is still in its experimental stage and ambitious aeronauts are meeting with accidents repeatedly, it is still evident that aerial navigation has become a permanent feature of travel. In Europe preparations continue to be made for regular traveling schedules in airships, notwithstanding the disasters that have happened to some of these craft. A New Jersey man has discovered that mosquitoes eat plants. This is an important natural discovery. It has hitherto been supposed, and with a good deal of circumstantial evidence to support the supposition, that the mosquito was strictly carnivorous in its diet and exclusively nocturnal in its meal hours. Any hope to the contrary will be thankfully received by a bitten, angry and sleepy world of humans. Push-cart peddlers have formed a national organization. Perhaps they have discovered that the banana is one of the necessities of life and are going to do the regulation thing to celebrate the discovery. A man found senseless on the street with his pockets turned inside out was locked up by the Philadelphia police as a witness. It is difficult to imagine the injury to the infe触ible purse of justice if this person should escape from the duty of testifying that he did not know what hit him. Now someone thinks he is about to invent a noiseless cannon. What will be the fun of wren- war stories if in the future we are not permitted to speak of the deafening roar of cannon and the rattle of muskety? A woman in Pennsylvania shot at a pet dog and hit her husband. He disbelieved her account of the target intended and had her arrested, but there was everything in the circumstantial evidence to sustain her. If she had shot at her husband, she would probably have hit the pet dog. - STIMSON IS CHOSEN RECEIVES NOMINATION FOR GOV- ERNOR AT NEW YORK RE- PUBLICAN CONVENTION. DIRECT PRIMARIES WIN OUT Platform Indores Administrations of Taft and Hughes, Says Payne Tariff Law is Success and Commends Work of Last Congress. Saratoga, N. Y.—The following ticket was nominated by the Republic state convention on Wednesday: For Governor—Henry L. Stimson of New York. Lieutenant Governor — Edward Schenck of Onondaga. Secretary of State—Samuel S. Koenig of New York Comptroller-James Thompson of Valley Falls. Treasurer—Thomas F. Fennell of Elmira. Attorney General—Edward R. O'Malley of Buffalo. State Engineer and Surveyeor—Frank M. Williams of Madison. Associate Judge of the Court of Appeals—Irving G. Vann of Syracuse. The platform as adopted indores the administrations of President Taft and Governor Hughes; declares that the Payne tariff law has been a success, and refers with approval to the wreck of the last congress. It pledges the continuance of the state graft inquiry "until all wrongdoing capable of exposure shall be brought to light." The plank relating to direct primaries is brief, but admits of no misconstruction. "We promise legislation which will enact these principles into law," is the pledge. The Payne tariff law reduced the average rate of all duties 11 per cent. By increasing the duties of some luxuries and articles not of ordinary use, making, however, no increase on any common food product, it turned a national deficit into a surplus. Under its first year of operation the value of imports free of duty was the greatest in our history by $109,000,000 and the average rate of duty was less than under the Wilson law. Unlike that Democratic law, its great reductions of duty have not stopped industry or deprived labor of any part of its hire. The Philippines it gives and it establishes a customs court, its maximum and minimum rates give us for the first time equality of opportunity with other nations in our foreign trade. "A Republican congress is necessary to provide needed appropriations for this board and to assure business and labor that changes in rates will be made only to equalize the difference in cost of production and not to reduce rates to the free trade, or purely revenue, basis favored by the Democratic party. Advance in the cost of living are only the local reflection of a national trend, wide and not be truthfully said to be due to the present tariff." Saratoga, N. Y.-By a vote of 567 to 445 Theodore Roosevelt was elected temporary chairman of the Republican state convention; Tuesday, over VicePresident Sherman. Amid cheers and hisses the names of VicePresident Sherman and Theodore Roosevelt were placed in nomination. Chairman Woodruff of the Republican state committee carried out the committee's dictates in presenting Mr. Roosevelt's names, and he was backed by Joseph Hicks, a delegate from Nassau, the expresident's home county. Mr. Roosevelt in his speech as temporary chairman said: "We come here feeling that we have the right to appeal to the people from the standpoint alike of national and state achievement. During the last eighteen months a long list of laws, embodying legislation most heartily to be commended as combining wisdom with progress, has been enacted by congress and approval by President Taft. They represent an earnest of the achievement which is yet to come; and the beneficence and far-reaching importance of this work, done for the whole people, measure the credit which is rightly due to the congress and to our able, upright and distinguished president, William Howard Taft."

HARDINGY DALTIAMORE AMERICAN TELLING AGAIN THE STORY OF THE BATTLE. LORIMER FOES WIN CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE MEN DECIDE TO HEAR EVI- DENCE ABOUT "JACK-POT." WILL WIDEN INQUIRY SCOPE Charles A. White on Stand as First Witness Retells His Story of Alleged Bribery in Election of United States Senator. Chicago—As a result of a decision made by the senate investigating committee overruling Attorney Hancey's objective of the White teamm at the hearing Monday, all "jack-pot" and other evidence dealing with alleged bribery of Illinois legislators to vote for Senator William Lorimer will be admitted. Arguments on making permanent the ruling to admit "jack-pot" testimony were made, each side being allowed twenty minutes. Upon the conclusion of the arguments they ruled that the question which precipitated the question be answered. They also decided the hereafter each "jack-pot" question should be ruled upon separately. Attorney Haney's objection came when Representative Charles A. White was on the stand. White had told his story of the alleged offer of $1,000 to vote for Lorimer for senator and had begun to tell the committee that in addition he was promised a share in the "jack-pot" when Attorney Haney interrupted. Attorney Haney submitted that the "jack-pot" evidence was irrelevant to the bribery committee. The committee retired to a private room for deliberation and after ten minutes decided that Mr. Haney's objection could not stand. The decision is taken to widen the scope of the inquiry to include every action which in any way has bearing on Senator Lorimer's election. Chicago—United States Senator William Lorimer, whose right to his seat in the upper house of congress is to be determined by a senate committee, on a victory Tuesday. Senator Burrow, representing the committee, ruled that no hearsay evidence relating to bribery in the election of the senator could be given by the witnesses at the inquiry in progress. The decision was given after Mr. Burrows had read a long decision made by a similar committee which investigated the election of Senator George E. Spencer on charges of having obtained his seat through bribery and corrupt practises, and found him not guilty. CARROLL MUST DEFEND SELF Court Refuses to Direct Verdict in Case Against Governor of Iowa; Executive Will Take Stand. Des Molnes, Ia. — Overruling the motion for a directed verdict attorneys for Governor B. F. Carroll, Attorney Anne A. Lowe left it for the jury to decide as to how the chief executive of Iowa was guilty or innocent of the crime of libeling John Cownie. The trial of Governor Carroll therefore will proceed and the governor will be placed on the witness stand in an attempt to prove the charges for which he was indicted. Joke May Cause Blindness.

THREATENED BY PLAGUE U. S. THREATENED BY PLAGUE EMIGRANTS FROM CHOLAER DISTRICTS EMBARK FOR AMERICA. New York and Washington Officials Take Steps to Prevent Sourge Reaching This Country. Paris—Reports from Italy through private sources declare that Italian emigrants from the districts of that country which are scourged with cholera are being shipped at Genoa for the United States. The French press echoes the French government's resentment at Italy's concealment of the cholera situation and points out that, while the authorities at Naples notified other Italian cities of cholera and refused to clear steamers for other Italian ports, they insisted abroad that the disease was gastroenteritis and gave the steamers bound for French and other Mediterranean ports clean bills of health. New York. — The most effective precautions possible are already being taken against the entrance of cholera infection into this country, said Dr. Alvah H. Doty, health officer of the port of New York, when his attention was called to the reported embarkation at Genoa for America of immigrants from the infected districts of Italy. WAGE WAR ON SUGAR TRUST New Action Against American Refining Company is Ordered by Attorney General Wickersham. Washington—Orders from the attorney general to District Attorney Wise in New York to smash the sugar trust went out Monday and the action continued for a week. In amended petition, though much more comprehensive in its charges, has been prepared after a conference between the attorney general, District Attorney Wise, Special Attorney Simpson and Mr. McReynolds. It charges the sugar trust with violation of the Sherman anti-trust law and the court is asked to dissolve the trust and issue an injunction restraining the American Sugar Refining company of New Jersey from voting the shares of the subsidiary companies pending the redistribution of these shares. The action will be in all respects similar to that which resulted in the smashing of the Standard Oil company in the United States circuit court and in a general way it resembles the action against the tobacco trust. HOLD UP CAR IN DAYLIGHT Six Armed Bandits: Take $130 From Passengers on St. Paul interurban Train. St. Paul, Minn. — Six armed bandits secured $180 on a crowded interurban street car, fouled knives and revolvers in the faces of passengers, fought their way to the rear of the car and made their escape in broad daylight. The car was a Minnesota-bound interurban and the crowd in the alley made no effort to stop the men. At Eleventh avenue one of the men signaled to the motorman to stop the car, and with knives still in their hands the bandits backed down the platform. Baseball Trainer a Suicide.

PRAISE FGR LA FOLLETTE CONVENTION CALLS SENATOR PIONEER PROGRESSIVE. Wisconsin Republicans Declare Payne Tariff Law Falls to Carry Out Party Pledge. Madison, Wis—Sharp criticism of the Payne tariff law, a demand for the physical valuations of railroads and unstinted praise of Senator La Follette as the pioneer "progressive" are the principal planks of the platform adopted by the Republican state convention Wednesday. Indorsement of the state's strongly "Insurgent" delegation in congress and a slap at President Taft are expressed in the following resolution: "Wisconsin is to be congratulated upon having representatives in the senate and house who remain in true the apple and to the national platform of the party, notwithstanding the efforts to punish them, for so doing by withdrawal of federal patronage." On the tariff the platform says: "The Payne-Aldrich tariff is not a compliance with the pledge of the Republican party in its national platform. The true basis of protective tariff is the difference between the cost of production at home and abroad, and we hold any increased cost of production of living of American labor should be accompanied by compensating tariff duties. "The present tariff board has no power of investigation, and is not required to report to congress. We fear that a nonpartisan tariff committee empowered to ascertain the cost of production in this and other countries, and required to make frequent reports of the information gained in congress. "Upon the information so obtained congress should proceed to revise the different schedules independently of each other, according to true protective tariff principles." Madison, Wis.—Wisconsin Democrats, in state platform convention, at which Chairman J. E. Davies, who presided, predicted a Democratic victory this fall, adopted a platform with leading planks as follows: Endorses the federal platform of 1985 that repressed the Republican system of tariff economically unsound, politically corrupt and legalized robbery; the Payne-Aldrich tariff act is called an indefensible masterpiece of injustice. Favors a national income tax, favors the election of United States senators by direct vote, opposes ship subsidies, denounces the Republican postal bank law, favors the conservation of national resources and denounces the present administration, denounces Secretary Ballinger, regulation and control of trusts, more stringent corrupt practice act, home rule for municipalities, popular vote on the initiative, referendum and recall, and comes out flatly against county option. SIX ARE KILLED IN A CRASH Traction Coach Collides With Car Near Tipton, Ind—Twelve Persons Are Hurt. Tipton, Ind.—In a collision on the Indiana Union Traction road two miles north of this city Saturday six persons were killed and 12 others moved to the seriously injured. This was the second disaster on Indiana traction lines within a week, the first having occurred on the Wahash Valley line at Kingland on Wednesday. Dr. W. C. Hothouser, who was killed in the wreck, was on his way to Kokomo, Ind., where he was to have been married. His brother, who also was killed, was to have been the best man at the wedding. The bride to have been is Miss Nelle Coxon, daughter of the secretary of the Great Western Pottery company of Kokomo. The collision was between a northbound limited passenger train and a southbound motorman had orders to wait at the first stop north of the crossing, it is said, but overran that point, thinking he could make another switch. A clump of trees hid the approaching cars and they came together at a curve. The freight train plowed through the front of the limited, demolishing the smokestack of the motorman, the passenger cabin, and the smoking compartment of the limited were killed. The motorman and conductor on the freight car jumped and were not injured. "I guess we overran the orders," said Motorman Lan Lacy, when he had fully recovered from the shock caused by jumping from the car. Conductor Sebroth was equally fazed, the occurrence and could not explain. Ask Pardon for Walsh. Washington — A petition for the immediate pardon of John R.

Steele of the supreme court of Colorado suffered a stroke of paralysis at his home here Monday. The Tenderfoot Farmer It was one of these experimental farmers, who put green spectacles on his cow and fed her shavings. His theory was that it didn't matter what the cow ate long as she was fed. The questions of digestion and nourishment had not been intuitively calculated. It's only "digestion" farmer that would try such an experiment with a cow. But many a farmer feeds himself regardless of digestion and nutrition. He might almost as well eat shavings for all the good he gets out of his food. The result is that the stomach grows "weak" the action of the organs of digestion and nutrition are impaired and the man suffers the miseries of dyspepsia and the agonies of nervousness. To strengthen the stomach, restore the activity of the organs of digestion and nutrition and brace up the nerves, use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It is an useful remedy, and has the confidence of physicians as well as the praise of thousands healed by its use. In the strictest sense "Golden Medical Discovery" is a temperance medicine. It contains neither intoxicants nor narcotics, and is as free from alcohol as from opium and other dangerous drugs. All ingredients printed on its outside wrapper. Don't let a dealer delude you for his own profit. There is no medicine for stomach, liver and blood "just as good" as "Golden Medical Discovery."

NO HEALTHY SKIN LEFT "My little son, a boy of five, broke out with an itching rash. Three doctors prescribed for him, but he kept getting worse until we could not dress him any more. They finally advised me to try a certain medical college, but its treatment did no good. At the time I was induced to try Cuticura he was so bad that I had to cut his hair off and put the Cuticura Ointment on him on bandages, as it was impossible. I was not able to find there. There was not one square inch of skin on his whole body that was not affected. He was one mass of sores. The bandages used to stick to his skin and in removing them it used to take the skin off with them, and the screams from the poor child were heartbreaking. I began to think that he would never get well, but after the second application of Cuticura Ointment I began to see signs of improvement, and with the third and fourth applications the sores commenced to dry up. His skin peeled off twenty-four times, finally faded to the treatment. Now I can say that he is entirely cured, and a stronger and healthier boy you never saw than he is to-day, twelve years or more since the cure was effected.

(You have a bungalow in a sheltered spot, but near a summer hotel filled mainly with people who are working hard to kill time. It is on a morning when you have millions of things more or less to do that should have been done before and you are filled with a strong desire to do them. Girl in Blue (after three paps on the porch screen)—“Oh, I thought you weren’t! What—you are just up! My goodness! Well, they close the dining-room at the hotel at nine, so I have to get up. What’s the matter with your porch? It looks different, somehow. Oh, you haven’t had time to fix it up yet, this morning? “Say, you have forgotten its bridge club morning and it meets with me and I’m one short and I know you told Marie you couldn’t come, but you must! I can’t find any one to fill the table! Oh, let your old work go—do this afternoon. What’s the difference? “Isn’t something burning? Oh, that’s too bad! It never occurred to me that your breakfast was cooking so late as a quarter after nine. "Well, if you won't play bridge I've got to go and find some one else and it's so mukh trouble. It's kind of selfish of you, I think. There comes Mrs. Blinks! Let me out the back way!" — (Stout, elderly woman with a work bag in her hand comes puffing up the walk) Good morning, my dear! isn't this a lovely day? I said to myself after breakfast that I'd just run down and keep you company for a while. It seems so lonely for you here by yourself. Besides, the children at the hotel are so noisy that they make my head ache. I brought my crocheting and I wish you'd let me see that spread in your room. "Oh, your room isn't done up yet? Tut, tut! My dear. I'm afraid nowadays young women are slack housekeepers. When I was young we did things systematically. Why certainly, these young women take coffee out here on the porch, though I must say it's queer time of day for coffee, and you'll run your complexion."

Tommy won't hurt it, will he? He loves machinery and it's so little. My goodness! You never paid $100 for that, did you? I'm sure you can do it. Do you care if I borrow some of these magazines? I haven't any of the late ones. Tommy loves to cut out the pictures. Oh, of course, if you haven't had time to read them yet yourself I won't let him cut them, but I don't see what difference it makes, because most of the read just as well if you skip a little."

Although the use of bloodhounds for tracking criminals still survives, another ancient use of these dogs seems to have died out. Bloodhounds were at one time often called upon to assist an army in the field, the forces with which the earl of Essex suppressed the Irish rebellion in the time of Elizabeth, for instance, accompanied by 80 dogs. In the Scottish Highlands, bloodhounds were between England and Scotland bloodhounds were regularly employed in tracking fugitive warriors, and both Wallace and Bruce were hunted in this manner. Wallace is said to have baffled his pursuers by killing a follower and leaving the corpse for the hound to find, while Bruce adopted the less cruel plan of wading some distance down a stream and ascending a tree which overhung the water.
