Williams of Boone was in our city on business, last Monday. Vernon Out and Napier In. It has been rumored for some time that Hon. W. T. Vernon, of Kansas, would be ousted from the Register of U. S. State Treasurer. He resigned last week and his place was filled by Hon. J. C. Napier of Tennessee. Mr. Vernon stated that he resigned to take up his school duties as president at Quindaro College, but we are informed that the trustees would not elect him as principle, therefore he is out of the Western College at Quindaro. Mr. Vernon is an able orator and a good politician, and they think that President Taft has made another one of his blunders in dismissing Mr. Vernon, while Mr. Napier is able, honorable, and a politician, but could have been given another place equally as good. The great middle west should have a representative in governmental affairs. The race has gained nothing by this change. Reaping What You Have Sown For the past ten or fifteen years parents have been lax in the rearing and training up of their children. They did not even teach them to shun bad company and seek good associates. They neglected to teach them politeness. They would not make them attend some Sunday School or church, loiter the Sunday hours in idleness or down at some place of amusements. The mothers never teach her child to obey her nowadays, but the little child simply grows up without restraint. The father fails to take his son or daughter into companionship with him, under the old plea that I have not time to bother with them. Oh! my parents, it is dangerous to neglect your duty, train them up while young and they will not far depart. Sow the seed of kindness, obedience, morality, christian love, honesty, sobriety and industry, and you will reap a good harvest. You will reap just what you sow.

Mrs. White, colored, was found by her neighbors prone over a wash tub and very near death. Dr. Courtright was summoned but all attempts to revive the wohan were futile and she died in a few minutes. One of Mrs. White's neighbors had been talking to her a few months before she had the occurrence and noticed nothing popular about her appearance nor actions. She has always been a strong healthy woman, and her death can be attributed to nothing but heart failure. Mrs. Melvina White was the wife of Thomas White, who is in the employ of S. Hamill Co. She has lived in Keokuh for about 11 years and has resided the whole of that time at 1123 Orleans street, where she met her sudden death yesterday. The deceased was about 56 years old.

Charles Steward gave an able and beautiful lecture to the colored people last Friday evening at the Calvary Baptist church. The title of his theme was "Sambo Mixed Fat and Kicked."

CRAWFORD, Prop Iowa State Bystander BYSTANDER PUB. CO., Publishers DES MOINES. IOWA King Menelic never knows when to quit dying. Rouge is now a Newport fad. The people who use it need it. Football has begun and the doctors are busy saving the pieces. The facial expression of a man waiting at the phone is not his best. The man who really practices what he preaches does mighty little preaching. Some of the Philippine uprisings are so hardy that they last over night. Scandal is the one thing that never gets worn out at the edges by being passed around. A married man informs us that one who tells his wife all he knows doesn't know much. There are 600 rooms in Kaiser Bill's new palace. He'll have to keep a hired girl, we fear. Wealthy Americans now coming home in the steerage could not wait for the flying machines. While a wooden leg may be the sad result of an accident, the hobble skirt is a woman's own fault. And now, since men have proved themselves the best dishwashers the women want them to retain the job. It took Moissant three weeks to get from Paris to London by airship. Still, walking would have been worse. A young lady says it does no good to "hitch your wagon to a star" for the darned star don't stop to let you get in! It is hard to predict occurrences from day to day further than that an aviation record of some sort will be broken. A Chicago man defeated a woman in a dishwashing contest. It were better for his sex had he considerately lost. Now that the Balkan war cloud has begun hanging around again it is time to send up a flock of airships to invite it to go hence. Another naval hero. A captain of a warship has been seriously wounded in action. His ankle was broken while he was dancing at Newport. Chicagoans will now be expected to carry around a microscope to see whether their ice cream contains more than 5,000,000 germs, the new limit. A New York policeman recently ate 61 ears of corn at a sitting. Our only hope in this connection is that he did not have an overhanging mustache. When a man's wife has gone away for the summer he ought to have the decency at least to look downhearted in the photograph which he sends to her. If man had had as complete command over the seas as he has had over the forests they would all be dried up and crying for irrigation by this time. An airship line is to be established between Baltimore and Washington. Those two cities are so near together that the ground between them can be padded all the way. Prices have been offered for the best poems in Esperanto. This ought to give the magazines a much-needed rest, and it ought also to cheer up the unappreciated poets. It is a harsh and hasty judgment to assume that every handsome young woman who is seen walking with crutches has been rashly intimate with a hobble-skirted gown. The woman who slashed nine persons when she saw her husband slip a quarter to a girl in church must have thought that particular act of charity covered an unusual amount of sin. A New York court has declined to permit a literary society to call itself the Souse club. Occasionally a New York court tosses aside technicalities and legal verbage and gets right down to business and common sense. The United States forest service is advertising for a xylotomist. We are not quite certain what a xylotomist is, but the man in the flat overhead plays something that sounds like it every night. Indiana now eats more beans than Massachusetts. See what literature does! We learn from London that the silk hat is dying out. Occurs it's been an uncommon long time dying. There's no more pathetic sight on earth than a silk taper on its last legs. Somebody ought to put it out of its misery. Maybe it's only one of those hot weather stories, though. In London, whenever news is dull, they send out a hardened reporter to kill the plug hat. Sauerkraut is surpassing beans in popularity in Boston. Now, that shows the progressiveness of the Hub. The bird-men have not learned yet to fly as surely and to light as safely as the birds. When Brookins at Asbury park himself took a tumble and crashed into a crowd of spectators, injuring a large number, it was perceived that, as in the flight of a bird, it is the coming back to earth that hurts. Air navigation is still extra hazardous. ```markdown ``` SOLONS MUST TELL SENATE INVESTIGATING COMMITTEE DECIDE BRODERICK AND BROWNE SHALL TESTIFY. LUKE'S WIDOW ON STAND Representative Terrill Says John Griffin Offered $1,000 for vote—Wife of Deceased Legislator Gives Evidence in Lorimer Hearing. Chicago. — John Broderick, state senator, and Lee O'Neill Browne will have to testify before the Lorimer investigating body without reserve. The senate committee, after considering the plea of Broderick that he be allowed to testify generally without being compelled to give specific answers to inquiries involving serious circumstances. Wednesday decided unanimously to reject it. The senators held that Broderick must testify without reserve, as he had not pleaded that his constitutional rights were jeopardized. Broderick's plea that specific testimony would be unfair to him in view of the fact that he was to be tried in Sangamon county on a bribery charge has held to be an inadequate reason for his request. The ruling also will apply to Lee O'Nell Browne and Robert E. Wilson, from whom legislator Charles A. White, H. J. C. Beckemeyer and Michael Link declare they received money after their votes for Lorimer. Aside from the Broderick decision chief interest at the hearing centered in the testimony of Mrs. Charles H. Luke, widow of a legislator who is said to have informed her of bribery attempts in the legislature shortly before his death. Mrs. Luke admitted that she had seen her husband in possession of an unexplained $550 shortly after the adjournment of the assembly which elected Lorimer. Luke is alleged to have confessed before his death to H. Harvey, not state's attorney of Chester County, that he was bribed to vote for Lorimer. Representative Henry Terrell of Colchester testified that Representative John Griffin of Chicago offered him direct $1,000 to vote for Lorimer. Terrell did not so vote. Daniel D. Donahue, Democratic representative from Bloomington, testified that he had heard talk about money in connection with Senator Lorimer's election and had been approached with requests to vote for Lorimer, but he denied that he had been offered any money to vote for Lorimer or that he had been tempted with bribes of any sort. OUTLAW DIETZ IS HEMMED IN Wisconsin Desperado Practically a Prisoner in His Log House—Home Town Under Martial Law. Winter, Wash—With his daughter in a hospital at Ashland badly wounded, one son in jail with a bullet through his chest, and another son with him also suffering from a gun wound, John F. Diels, the desperate "outlaw of Cameron Dam" fame, was Monday a prisoner in his log cabin in the northern Wisconsin wilderness, he being entirely surrounded by a sheriff posse. While Dietz is surrounded in his forest clearing, the town of Winter is excited, because Dietz has threatened to invade the place and shoot every person involved in the shooting of his two sons and his daughter. The town is under martial rule, the sheriff having deputized about thirty-five men, most all of them friends of Horel, the man shot on election day.

There was called a meeting of the Ancient Order of Spins last evening, and papers were read on every subject, from removing grease from carpets to the sad memories that attach to a bunch of old letters. The Spins were having a hilarious time when a Visiting Spin got up to make a few remarks. She said that she was a sad time coming. "Think of the day," she said, "when, having no husbands or children, you will be all alone." There was a sniff and then a snort as Spin recalled wives and mothers who are alone from daylight till dark, except when some member of the family wants waiting on. The sniffing and snorting increased volume as Spin told Sains to freedom from worry, her independence in financial matters and the joy of doing as she pleased. "But we must not take offense at what our sister has said," one Spin remarked. "Let us show our good intentions by calling on every lonesome wife and mother we know."

STANDARD CUTS OIL PRICES Reductions Made in Europe and the Far East in Campaign to Increase Use of Kerosene. New York.-J. I. C. Clarke, through whom the Standard Oil company makes its official announcements to the public, has issued a statement to the effect, that the company has entered on a thoroughly mapped out campaign to increase the consumption of the Standard Oil companies and the lands of the Orient. The first move in this campaign is the reduction of the prices of oil in those countries. Mr. Clarke's announcement says in part: "The Standard Oil company has inaugurated a campaign to increase the world's consumption of refined oil. The level of prices for refined oil today in the United States is lower at any time during recent years, and as a direct result of these prices the consumption of refined oil in the United States is increasing. The same policy is now being actively pursued abroad." As indicated by this statement, the Standard company began trying out the policy of lower prices in the United States, though without announcing that it had in view a campaign that would cover the world. In August the price of refined oil in tanks was reduced from 6½ to 5½ cents a gallon, and the price of refined oil in barrels at the refinery was cut 1 cent, from 9½ to 8½ cents a gallon.

The Kind You Have Always Bought. Now They Sleep Inside. George H. Beatle, jeweler in the old Arcade, and L. E. Ralston, auditor of the News, have jointly and severally decided to be tougher than all that it has been declared to be, says the Cleveland Leader. They were both in a deep snoope out at the Beatle farm, near Chagrin Falls, the other night, when a runaway team from the county fair city turned into the lane leading up to the Beatle estate and came along at full speed.

"On the advice of a friend, I first tried Postum, making it carelessly as directed on the package, so I had always used 'cream and on sugar,' my mother said, looking good, was奶和 fragrant, and it was a pleasure to see the cream color it as my Kentucky friend always wanted her coffee to look—like a new saddle." "Then I tasted it critically, for I had tried many 'substitutes' for coffee. I was pleased, yes, satisfied, with my Postmum in taste and effect, and am yet, being a constant user of all these years. "I continually assure my friends and acquaintances that they will like it in place of coffee, and receive benefit from its use. I have gained weight, can sleep sound and am not nervous."

Des Moines, Oct. 6. "The harvest has been profitable and with a few exceptions very bountiful." Thus Dr. George M. Chappel in his final bulletin for the year optimally describes the conditions of the Iowa 1910 season. The entire corn crop is practically safe from frost says the weather director. He predicts that the yield will probably be over 300,000,000 bushels. According to the report more seed corn was collected in September than in any previous year. The extra amount of corn cut for fodder and the excellent condition of the fall pastures more than made up for the corn hop, is the statement of Dr. Chappel. Small grains were above the average in quality and in yield, states the director of the Iowa station. He also says that the fall grains are up and growing nicely. Acre of Tomatoes Worth $2,400 **Acre of Tomatoes Worth $2,400.** A man near Hampton Mountains, a near Hampton Mountains $6,400 worth this year, produced on sixty acres; two brothers at Fort Dodge sold $2,400 worth of onions raised on six acres, but a Belle Plaine gardener far exceeded these records this season on a patch of tomatoes which he was able to irrigate during the dry period because of the free running artesian wells here, which anyone can get about $100 expense. On one-sixth of the land, he has irrigated which he has sold for about $400 and is still picking, there having been no frost as yet. Of course, he got the "love apples" to the market when the price was high early in the season. This is at the rate of about $2,400 gross grown on one acre of Iowa soil, with a little irrigation at the critical time. That is far ahead of irrigation profits in California or Colorado, and still such land as this can be grown in such western irrigated land, and the water costs nothing but the well, and has to be applied only once or twice, instead of all the season and excellent markets are near by.

Tukey, blew a car from the seat and sawed into the fence, practically demolishing the car. Tukey was thrown about twenty-five feet in the air just before the machine dashed into a fence post and stopped. However, he was not seriously injured and was able to walk from the track. Tukey was leading every car in the race, which was one of the feature events of the program. He was on the east end of the track on the fast lap and the burst and he lost control of the machine. For a moment it was killed the driver would be killed. Before 5,000 automobile enthusiasts the first races under the auspices of the Des Moines Auto Race association were held at the state fair grounds.

The benches in the waiting rooms at the Union depot in Kansas City are used for other purposes than to rest on by travelers, the Kansas City Star enlightens us. At every midnight the mads clean out the rooms. They forget to poke under the benches for aray bundles left by trusting travelers. Sometimes, after intervals, the travelers return to claim their property. Some time ago a red cap at the depot saw a man in a linen duster, a felt hat and the manner of one who had spent his life in a secluded part of the Ozarks get down on his knees and peer carefully under several of the benches. "Lost anything, mister?" the red cap quotted. "Wall, no, sonny, not a actually. I left a pair of rubbers here last January when I was on the way tue Emporoy. Hain't seen nuthin' of 'em, have you?"

BABY'S SKIN TORTURE "When our baby was seven weeks old he broke out with what we thought was heat, but which gradually grew worse. We called in a doctor. He said it was ecumenia and from that time we doctored six months with three of the best doctors in Atchison but he only got worse. His face, head and hands were a solid sore. There was no end to the suffering for him. We had to die his little hands to know what it was to sleep well from the time he took the disease until he was cured. He kept us awake all hours of the night and his health wasn't what you would call good. We tried everything but the right thing." "Finally I got a set of the Cucurcua Remedies and I am pleased, to say we did not use all of them until he was cured. We have waited a year and a half to see if it would return but it never has and to-day his skin is clean. I hope Cucurcua will help me. Cucurcua may save some one else's little ones suffering and also their pocket-books. John Leason, 1403 Atchison St., Atchison, Kan, Oct. 19, 1909." FAIRLY WARNED.

Pointa tc Good Future **Points to GooB Future.** Seven poor children, four girls and three boys, all about ten years old, went to a nearby seaside resort, in charge of a family's outing. The funds for the plenic were provided by two boys who sell papers and who live in one of the two houses from which the excursion party was recruited. One of the women in charge of the children said that the boys had arranged the outing "of their own accord, and the remarkable thing is this: They are not good boys by any means and one of them is probably the naughtiest boy in the neighborhood. But we think that when boys do little things like this they will come out all right."—New York Tribune. Why He Wouldn't Hurry They were riding to church and were late. Several of the party were worried and one remarked: "The audience will be waiting." "Woll," observed the old pastor (who was to preach that foremon), "don't let's fret over it if we are a little late. It reminds me of the man who was being taken to execution. His guards were greatly exercised over the fact that they could not possibly get there on time, but I felt that the poor law philosophically. 'Don't fuss over it. The people can wait.

The more mystery there is about a woman the more attractive and scary she looks to a man. People are happier for a lot of things they don't know. Woman's most glorious endowment is the power to awaken and hold the pure and honest love of a worthy man. When she loses it and still loves on, no one in the wide world can know the heart agony she endures. The woman who suffers from weakness and pain often loses the power to sway the heart of a man. Her general health suffers and she loses her good looks, her attractiveness, her amiability and her power and prestige as a woman. Dr. R.V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N.Y., with the assistance of his staff of able physicians, has prescribed for and cured many thousands of women. He has devised a successful remedy for women's ailments. It is known as Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It is a positive specific treatment for women with weakened strengthens and heals. Medicine dealers sell it.

Nothing of note occurred until the train steamed into the station at which tickets were collected. The woman, not having a ticket for the boy, requested him to "corris doon."
