On my wheal with quill in hand, we will again jot down a few observations from Monroe county, Iowa, including the town of Albia, Buxton and Hiteman. We had planned to give our readers an illustrated edition of Buxton; similar to one gotten out three years ago, but have deferred it until next year; hence we shall be satisfied with a synoptical mention of the far famed Buxton, which has been truly styled the Negro Athens of the Northwest. While there has been several attempts to "Write up the Town" by other editors in this limited space, I can but briefly mention a few of the interesting things that show signs of progress of the race under the best opportunity and environments as but few other Negro communities have First thing, don't you believe all the bad things that you hear about Buxton by what some newspapers report; but go and see the Negro and his white companion, working in peace and harmony, hand in hand, in their daily labor. Unions in schools, and stores, in shops, and in the mines. Here we have a population of 5,000 of which 3,500 are colored. Here we see the whole town managed by colored people; here is the oily town in Iowa that we saw automobiles running too and free owned and operated by colored men. Here we see rubber tired buggies dawn by fine horses, bicycles, hacks, hacks; in fact everything except the airship. The postmaster is J. P. Mill, a colored man with three assistants. Mr. Mills is a leading citizen, highly respected and an active church and Y. M. C. A. worker; the only first-class hotel is owned and managed by young W. L. Perkins and mother. He also runs a confectionary and news stand in the hotel. Lewis is a model and exemplary young successful business man, liked by the thousands of miners. Hobe Armstrong and son Charles, own the largest meat market in the city, and Mr. Armstrong is one of the wealthiest of our race in Ta. He was drawn on the Federal Grand jury and was in Ottumwa. He has DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1910. been in business twenty years. The Y. M. C. A. costing more than $20,000, is a credit to any town; Mr. LeRoy Tucker is secretary. He is a fine young man; all business. He books all the shows at the theater and the Y.M. C. A. Literary course. He is a good man Mr. W. A. Brown is See'y of the boys department where s. veral hundred boys spent the evenings in study and gymnastics. He is the agent and representative of the Bystander. The large company store managed by Mr. R. R. McRea, an energetic up-to-date business man who now employs about fifty clerks, of which ten are colored, namely, Wm. H. Cozens, W. [P. Lewis, C. C. Strong, Jos. Baker, Henry Weaver, Channey Monroe, Walter Blaney, and Miss Susie Roberts, Julia Buckner and A. P. Sharp. This town contains nearly all secret societies known among the race.

Zion Baptists have also been the rally to put new chairs in their church, they raised $280 00. Rev. Woodward has charge of the church, and is doing well. See cut elsewhere. The other Baptist church is now without a minister. The London Bros is still in the insurance business and runs a piano and milliner store. They are successful business men. The Jeffers Bros. still conducts the best restaurants here; serving good meats. Mr. B. F. Cooper is still in the drug store. As usual for the past sixteen years is doing a big business.

No. 3, Marshall Thorp (white) principle. His associates names we did not get. In the baseball field the Buxton Wonders are well known over Iowa. Last year they played 93 games and only lost 17. They have been organized for 7 years. This year's season just closed with them playing 43 games and winning 37. This team has been maintained for the past 7 years without asking the aid of Buxton, but next year it is likely that the business men will be asked to support it as all other semi-profits are supported by the home town. The list of this year's players are: Manager, Riley Sales, Captain Rich S. Lee. A very competent man from Eventston, Ils., who was ex-coach for the North Western University for six years. He is an excellent man and molds make an error; they ought to be proud to have him on their team, the 2d baseman Geo. Neal, a great player, catcher Cliff Wallace, the leading batsman catcher John Cross, a very steady player; cather Clinne Carter, also good short shot, Adolph Wilson, and his brother, Horace. 2d base are two excellent players; left fielder is Robert Weaver, a coming star. There are boys and girls away attending many colleges and Universities. Young L. R. Willis just graduated from dentistry at Howard University.

Spaars also practice law here both doing well in their professions. There are many other worthy people and business that we would like to mention but time and space will not permit before the illustrated edition comes out. "We stuffed ballot boxes, we shot them; we are not ashamed of it." Pitchford Tillman, in a speech in the United States Senate. The Indian play given the Second Baptist church was a grand success. A large crowd enjoyed the treat. The play will be reported Nov. 14. Atty. S Joe Brown will address the Negroes at a political meeting Wednesday evening at Central hall.

Sunday was quarterly meeting day at the A. M. E. church, Rev. M. I. Gorld), Presiding Elder, delivered an excellent sermon. HON. S. P. PROUTY. It is indeed a pleasure for us to present the picture of Hon. Judge S. F. Prouty, of Des Moines, the republican candidate for congress from the Seventh congressional district. Those who know the judge the last like him the most. He is an able, strong young man well equipped by are, experience to make a leader in congress and the editor know that if Mr. Prouty ever gets a chance to hit disfranchisement and Jimcrow carism in congress that he will do it with a sledge hammer. Every colored voter in the Seventh congressional district should vote and work for Judge Prouty on next Tuesday. PETER H. Mulvaney for Judge. The above cut is a true likeness of John T. Mulvaney, candidate on the democratic ticket for one of the Judges of the Polk county District court to be elected next Tuesday. Mr. Mulvaney is a Polk county man, born here forty years ago, educated in the public schools and graduate from the law De. department of Drake University, was admitted to practice seventeen years ago and entered the practice of law here, and by his hard work, honest dealings, has made great success. He is a true friend of the colored race as his past actions has proven. President Taft a pointed a democratic judge of the United States. The last Iowa legislature repealed the law nominating district judges at the primary election, that there might be a nonpartisan bench and a court freed from politics. The people are demanding a higher standard of courts. Common honesty and ability to discharge the duties of the office are now considered of more importance than in the profession of political creeds. No democrat has been district judge in Polk county in about thirty years. Every fair minded republican should vote for at least one democrae for district judge. Four judges are to be elected and with the voting machine it is easy to mix your ballot and vote for whomsoever you please without loosing your vote. Remember, with the machine you cannot spoil your ballot. Go to the polls next Tuesday and do your full duty. PRESIDENT Prof. Fred L. Solomon, who is now presenting his musical talent before the musical world and all livers of music, was born and raised in Galesburg, Ill. Since a small boy he has always interested himself in musical instruments, giving them a careful study. He now plays upon musical instruments of all kinds with such great skill that those who have attended his musical entertainments, wonders how he manages to do it. Mr. Solomon once met the Staff-Bolls, Bamboo Chimes and Xy lophone at the same time with the Staff-Bolls, Bamboo Chimes and Xy lophone, accompanied with piano by Miss Marguerita H. Allen, who at so plays upon several of his instruments. Mr. Solomon also composes his own marches, and delights his audience with their many encores. The last march he composed was the Toussaint L. Overture Flrst Regiment March, which he plays with cornet and piano, using the two instruments at the sametime, and Miss Allen with the xylophon e and traps. Mr. Solomon first appeared in the year of 1808 at bi-some city, giving musical performances in which he was a member of the Masonic Lodge and also of the Lincoln Memorial Chapel to which church he has served two years a superintendent of that SundaySchool. He will now be glad to receive dates from churches, lodges and social gatherings. He also gives sacred concerts when requested. For information or dates address a ll mail to PROF. FRED D.

He is an able lawyer, brilliant speaker, a great leader of men, was elected speaker of the Iowa Legislature. He introduced a bill to have the South represent it reduced to the actual number of representation as they have qualified voters where some people are disfranchised. We hope that every colored voter in the Sixth District will vote for Nate Kendall. J. HON. W. H. LEWIS The President of the United States Wm. H. Taft, has just appointed Hon. William H. Lewis, of Boston, Mas. Assistant Attorney General, the high at position ever given a colored man of this country, politically. He is now District Assistant United States attomey at Boston.

We hope it will vote for Nate Kendall. an admirable record as a lawyer and legal representative of the government. He is a graduate of both Amherst and Harvard College a At Amherst he was the captain of the football team and at Harvard he was the most noted center rush that institution ever knew. As assistant attorney general of the United States it will be necessary to assign him to some of the most important legal work of the government, and he will come in frequent contact with senators, representatives and others having business with the department. Price Five Cents. ```markdown ``` Hon. B. F. Carroll, governor of Iowa, who is a candidate for his second term for governor, is a good honest man, and has made a business like administration and we feel that it is the duty of all good republicans regardless of factionalism to support the party nominee if he is a good man, and such is the case of Governor Carroll. His past record is without fault. THE REPUBLICAN PARTY The approaching general election which now occurs in most states every two years will next Tuesday be held all over our country to elect our representatives in the American Congress, and also several state legislators will be elected who will in turn elect a United States Senator from some states this coming winter. It is well that we should remember that at least nationally the Republican party would support the Republican party because all measures thus far introduced, all bills passed for the benefit of the Negro race has been passed and enacted into law by the republican party. The principal policy of the republican is for us although there are some men high up in the party that don't represent its true principle nor policies, such men must, and only honest leaders will again assume control and our party will then grow and be truly the party of hope, of equality, of justice, of honesty, of the people, for the people, and by the people. About half a million Afro-African young men will be eligible to cast their first presidential votes in November, and if they are wise they will begin life right by voting the Republican ticket. of Afro-American youth in the South are crowded with students. Republican prosperity has enabled parents to send their children off to school. work may obtain it by voting the Democratic ticket. The election of a Democratic house would mean the passage of the Helfin jim-crow street car bill. It costs a million lives and a billion dollars to rid this country of the curse of slavery. The Democratis party hopes to take away the manhood rights of the Afro-American and reduce them to a state of vassage. President Taft favors industrial and higher education for the Afro-American, the enforcement of the war amendments and equal protection for every citizen. Vote the Republican ticket and sustain the Administration. Fall in and forward to victory. Get out the votes and there'll be no doubt about the election of Republican congressmen. Wake up! Come out! Shout and hurry for the Republican ticket. Let us see what a big majority we can give for the Republican nominees for congress. there are more than 14,000 Afro-Americans in the public service of the country and they receive over $8,000,000 in salaries The Afro-American people know too well what Democratic success means to be beguiled by the smooth talk of Democratic spellbinders. The Afro-American will never turn from the Republican party and go over to the Democrats who are disfranchising and Jim crowing the people of their race in the South The election of a Democratic house can bring no possible good to the Afro-American. Better let well enough alone and continue the Republicans in power. In no school for Afro-American pupils in New Orleans is instruction given in any grade higher than the fifth. The Democrats seem determined to keep the race down. The Democratic South has already disfranchised the Afro-American. Now many prominent Democrats in the North as well as in the South favor the repeal of the fifteenth amendment. A vote for the Democrats is a vote for an empty market basket. The cost of living may be high, but the real hard times will come when the Democratic party is in power. AFRO-AMERICANS IN GOVERNMENT SERVICE The oil, old story, told times without number, and repeated over and over again for the last 36 years, but it is always a welcome story to those in search of health—There is nothing in the world that cures coughs and colds as quickly as Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. Sold by all druggists. EQUAL RIGHTS PLANK "The Republican party has been for more than fifty years the consistent friend of the Afro-American. It gave him freedom and citizenship. It wrote into the organic law the declarations that proclaim his civil and political rights, and it believes today that his noteworthy progress in governance, progress in citizenship, earned the respect and encouragement of the nation. We demand equal justice for all men without regard to race or color; we declare once more and without reservation, for the enforced thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth which were designed for the protection and advancement of the Afro-American and we condemn devices that undermine the disfranchisement for reasons of color, as unaffair, un-Afro-American and repentant to the supreme law of the land:" —Republican Platform, 1908. Why doesn't Zeppelin experiment with submarines? New York continues to grow in every way but good. There is hope, indeed. Nevada has shut down on gambling. If Count Zeppelin isn't discouraged, have you any reason to be? Aeroplanes are good for round shoulders and hollow chests. These are golden days for the railroads, as well as the farmers. A number of London people have appendicitis. That's one style we set, anyhow. An Englishman has invented a triplane. We presume it falls three times as hard. A $18,000,000 shoe corporation has been formed in Massachusetts. Now watch the cowhide. New York spends $35,000,000 a year on charity, and even at that New York is a bad place to go broke in. Poughkeepsie court enjoins a husband from speaking to his wife for 30 days. Now stand aside and listen to wife! New York paper claims "4,700,000 souls" for New York. Nonsense! The census showed only that number of people. New York man resigns a $4,000 position because there's not enough work to do. You just can't please some people. A Massachusetts man has invented a flexible rolling pin which, we trust, will not make the pie crust more rubbery than ever. According to the astronomers there is an unusual amount of moisture on Mars just now. Canning time perspiration, no doubt. If a woman asks $5,000 damages for jabbing herself with her own hatpin, how much would she earn by putting out somebody else's eye? Now that sharks are known to be good food they become doubly useful, for they have always provided a superior quality of fish stories. A Chicago woman asked a divorce because her husband wore her undergarments. This is a case where clothes make the man trouble. A man at Scranton, Pa., who claims to have a hen that lays seven eggs a day should be bred by party campaign committees to claim elections. Here's a Boston preacher calling Newport "the vestibule of hell." This will disappoint many Newporters who thought they were really on the inside. An American promoter is about to build an amusement park in Rome. The ancient ruins will have to put in vauderville attractions to hold the crowds. If you knew what a woman was doing all the time, you wouldn't worry so much—or else you would worry more. Settle that with your conscience. Connecticut man shot himself in the head ten times and still lives. That's what Connecticut men get for substituting wooden nutmegs for genuine vines. The per capita circulation of the United States is now $33.03. Almost any paragrapher that comments on this will have his share if somebody will lend him $35. One authority advises dyspeptics to eat a teaspoonful of sand with each meal. And just after a doctor told us not to put sugar on our oatmeal! Now what we'll do? A New York waiter recently bought $100,000 worth of government bonds. Just what his jocular patrons no doubt advised him time and again to do with the quarters they tipped him. Wisconsin man loses an eye by being fabbed with a hairpin while he was kissing his wife good-bye, in the morning. Experienced husbands have learned to dodge such perils. Pacific coast artillerymen made nine hits out of ten shots at a distance of three miles with five-inch guns in a fog. How would you like to play cannon ball pool with those fellows? "Fighting Bob" Evans says the airship "is a mere plaything and would amount to nothing as a weapon of war." "Fighting Bob" may be pardoned for clinching to an old-fashioned faith in the efficacy of the battleship. The New England swain who starred to foreclose a mortgage which he held on the home of the father of the girl who refused his attention ought to have his attention called to the fact that even meddroma long ago dropped this once popular form of love's cruel revenge. One of Chicago's health rules for pupils in "don't run to school." Even Shakespeare's time they knew better than that—"creeping like small unwilling to school." And boys haven't changed much in that respect. Perhaps the oddest suit ever entered is that of a young woman in St. Paul. Who is sitting another woman's estate who is unwilling in an attempt to leave the latter's life. This is blood poured in a new sense. ```markdown ``` BUXTON BRIEF& The meeting at the Mt.

The Key to Germany. Capt. Charles King, the author, praised, at the Milwaukee club, the German element in Milwaukee's population. "I know a soldier," said Captain King, "who met the kaiser last year in "You have a thorough knowledge of our best thought and customs," said the kaiser. "Have you ever been to Germany before?" "O, yes, sir," said the soldier. "What cities have you visited? Berlin and Hamburg?" asked the kaiser. "No, sir," said the soldier. "Milwaukee." Not Easy Pat was a married man—a very much married man. He had married no fewer than four times, and all his wives were still in the fore. According to Pat's own account before he was forced to leave and found guilty, his experiences were not altogether satisfactory. The judge, in passing sentence, expressed his wonder that the prisoner could be such a hardened villain as to delude so many women. He told Pat, apologetically, "I was only tryin' to get a good one, an 'it's not alisy'—"Lippincott's Magazine. What About Him? The talk had gone back and fro, and the youthful socialist had been announcing that no man ought to get his living by cheating, and we all listened to him, and agreed that it was dreadful when men and women did not tell the truth, but tried to make their living by deceiving people. Millionaires, landowners, financiers, we sacrificed, "No one should make a living by deception," said the young man. Then a quiet voice from a woman came from the corner of the house, "What about the conjurer?"—London Chronicle. Lovemaking and Practice The only way to become an expert at lovemaking is to practice. This was the information handed out to a handful of hearers by the Hindu philosopher, Sakharam Ganesh Pandit, in a lecture on "The Science of Love." "Love is a divine discontent," said the philosopher, "and if you want to arouse love in others it can be done by giving them love. How can develop the emotion of love in another is the great question of today—the art of making love. It needs a great deal of study and a great deal of practice." THE FIRST TASTE Learned to Drink Coffee When a Baby. If parents realized the fact that coffee contains a drug—coffee—which is especially harmful to children, they would doublestilize heastate before giving the babies coffee to drink. "When I was a child in my mother's arms and first began to nibble on coffee, the mother, my grandmother, gave a slip of coffee, and my parents used coffee exclusively, at meals I never knew there, was anything to drink, but coffee and water. "And so I contracted the coffee habit early. I remember when quite young the continual use of coffee so affected my parents that they tried roasting wheat and barley, then ground it in the coffee-mill, as a substitute for coffee. "But it did not taste right and they went back to coffee agam. That was long before Postum was ever invented, and when I was until it was 27, and when I got into office work, I began to have nervous spells. Especially after breakfast I was so nervous I could scarcely attend to my correspondence. "At night, after having coffee for supper, I could hardly sleep, and on rising in the morning we feel weak and nervous. "A friend persuaded me to try Postum wife and I did not like it first, but later when boiled good and strong it was fine. Now we would not give up Postum for the best coffee we ever tasted. "I can now get good sleep, am free from nervousness and headaches. I recommend Postum to all coffee drinkers." Read "The Road to Wellville," in plight. "Wheres a Reason." Ever read the above letter?

An incident in which former Governor Odell of New York figured as the victim was told by Col. James Hamilton Lewis at a recent banquet. "When Governor Odell was last running for office," said Colonel Lew Hamilton, who became a great deal of talk about Niagara Falls and the electrical power that could be conferred on all parts of New York. One day an old negro halted Mr. Odell and said: "Mr. Odell, is you 'runnin' for gorner, sah?" "I am, answered the candidate." "I guess 'yo' want my vote, den, said the colored man." "Well, I would like to have your vote, Zeb. I have known you for so many years." "Wohl, I list want to ask you a question, Mr. Odell, befo' I give man vote to you. Are yo' for electric lights in dis town?" "Well, Zeb, I am for all modern improvements," said Odell, with a slight flourish. "Well, sah, I can't vote for you," said Zeb with firmness.

TAKE A DOSE OF PISO'S THE BEST MEDICINE for COUGHS & COLDS TEN TONS OF FISH Spirit Lake, Ia., Nov. 3.—Ten tons of flopping, splashing fish confined within a space of a few hundred square feet of net, is the sight of a lifetime to a landsmans. Buffalo fish weighing from five to twenty-five pounds scooped up into a net and dumped into burges reminds an lowan of shipping hogs by the train load. The northeast shore of Spirit Lake made on the northwest shore of Spirit Lake. A gasoline launch with a crew of twelve men arrived on the ground at 7 a.m. The launch ran up close to shore, and the end of a half mile of rope was made fast. When the rope was paid was, 2,800 feet of net varying in depth from eight to thirty feet, followed and the lower end of the shore line was reached with another half mile of rope. A windlass, manned by three men in each of two boats, brought the line in and then the net. The manned line was brought to the water along the bottom frightened the fish and drove them to the center. The crew got the ends of the net to shore by dinner time. In the afternoon the work of drawing the net was begun. The ends were drawn together until they were about 100 feet apart, under the orders of experienced fishermen. At this time the center of the net was a long ellipse running out 1,000 feet from shore, and there was little to indicate the immense haul of fish there. It was also apparent there was a splash, indicating a good sized fish was corralled, but in the minds of the spectators there was a feeling that a big hole had been torn in the net, allowing the fish to get away, and the fishermen would have nothing for their labor but their pains. It was not until the ellipse had been reduced to 150 feet from shore that the luck of the haul began to show. Dozens of five pound buffalo were drawn to the right of the fight of the big followers to keep the cup water for themselves. Then the work of leading the fish began. The work was superintended by a game warden and all the game fish were returned to the lake. The gars are all killed and buried; the buffalo packed in live boxes and shipped in refrigerator cars to Peoria, ill, where they are dressed, salted and smoked. For I. O. O. F. Grand Lodge Officers.

Berry of Indiana, G. H. Sulton of Tennessee, J. E. Hove of Greenfield and Sam D. Woods of Des Moines, the last named being the secretary, concluded their investigation work at the penitentiary here, after having taken testimony in over 100 cases here, besides an even larger number at the Anamosa institution. Over 200 convicts, practically 25 per cent of the criminals of Iowa, ask release from their confinement, claiming the right of free men. There are about thirty cases continued from the last investigation, and in view of the fact that the board seldom continues a petition unless intending to pardon, the number of petitions to be granted promises to be unusually large. The number of prisoners is withheld from publication by the board because there is a barge chance for each to be set free, and the publication of his crime or the fact of his imprisonment would contract the reformary possibilities at which the board aims.

SWELLING THE HOTEL BILL Hotel Keeper's Method of Taxing Traveler Had at Least the Method of Novelty. One of the things which help swell the traveler's expenses, both in this country and abroad, is the cost. It may not be charged in the bill but it is sure to be paid for. Probably even the most generous traveler, however, will have some sympathy for the gentleman in the following story who was made to pay liberally for a certain annoying privilege. During his stay at the hotel the weather had been very hot. He was forced to board the toller the clerk who was making out the bill to be presented to the departing guest, "have you noticed that the gentleman in number seven has consulted the thermometer on the plaza at least ten times every morning during his stay here?" Charles replied that he had. "Well," said the landlord, "charge him the price of one dinner a day for the use of the thermometer."—Youth's Companion. AWFUL BURNING ITCH CURED IN A DAY "In the middle of the night of March 30th I woke up with a burning itch in my two hands and I felt as if I could pull them apart. In the morning the itching had gone to my chest and during that day it spread all over my body. I was red and raw from the top of my head to the soles of my feet and in continual attack from the itching I got up. I happened to see about Cucurcua Remedies, and I thought I would give them a trin. I took a good bath with the Cucurcua Soap and used the Cucurcua Ointment. I put it on from my head down to my feet and then went to bed. On the first of April I felt like a new man. The itching was almost gone. I continued with the itching and during that day the itching completely left me. Frank Gridley, 225 East 43rd Street, New York City, Apr. 27, 1909."

There is a desk in the senate particularly convenient as a place from which to make speeches. It is next to the aisle and almost in the center of the chamber, and affords an opportunity for the speaker to make everybody hear. At least a dozen senators, according to the Washington correspondent of the senate, have borrowed this desk when they had special utterances to deliver to the senate. This led, not long ago, to a mild protest from its legitimate occupant. "I am perfectly willing to give up my desk," said he, "but I am afraid people will think that the same man is talking all the time. I don't want to get the reputation of constantly filling the senate with words."—Youth's Companion. STATE OF OHIO CITY OF TOLEDO. LOUIS CITY. 12. FRANK J.

Address: The International Liberty Union of the World 331 1st Nat'l Bank Bldg. Covington, Ky. U. S. A. REV. B. F. WOODARD. Our readers now have an opportunity to see the cut of Rev. F. B. Woodard, that quiet, unassuming Christian minister who is a power in Buxton for all that is good and uplifting in his community. Rev. Woodward is pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist church, the church which has the largest membership of any in Iowa. Rev. Woodward is a very modest invincible speaker, so modest that ye editor had to beg with him for his photograph for he does not like to see ministers too often in print. He came from Michigan to Buxton two years ago. Rev. D. E. Butler Ph. D., Pastor First A, M. E, Church, Buxton, Iowa. The Bystander, in presenting the this clergyman and friend of education, is carrying out a plan long since conceived by the editor. "Pen sketches of the Negro Clergy" will be a subject periodically set forth and read by thousands throut the country. Rev. D. E. Butler, the subject of this sketch was born of Madagaskan parents Holy Springs, Miss, May 21, 1872, and was educated in the public schools, Millers Institute. and Rust University of which city, having for his classmates, THE MARTIN MARTIN the daughters of the late Hiram R. Revels, United States Senator from Mississippi. Coming to Chicago in 1890, Mr Butler engred in various occupations entering Harvy Medical college; later for the study of the profession. He was converted to the Christian religion at Bethel A. M. E. church, in January '64, serving as an official and local preacher 'till Sept. 1899, when he was ordained a Deacon by the late Bishop B. W. Arnett. Instead of completing a course in medicine, Rev. Butler entered the ministry, serving as pastor at Racine, Wis., his first charge, '98, 1900 (two years). From 1900 to 1905, he pastored the St. James church at Minneapolis, Minn., where he built a two-story brick church with living rooms, valued at $8,000.00. During Rev. Butler's stay in Minneapolis he mastered the Social Settlement Idea, and conducted for two years the most systematic and complete work of this kind among Negroes. In 1905, Sept. after having served 5 years as pastor at Minneapolis, Rev. Butler was sent to the St. Mark church, Wis. The next year he took charge of the First A. M. E. church at Galesburg, Ill., where he published a historical record of the Negro—a work of great merit, called "Butler's Blue Book," which was favorably received by the Iowa and Wisconsin Historical societies. Ottumwa, Iowa, was Rev. Butler's next charge, where he rebuilt a dilapidated parsonage and conducted the "John Brown Industrial Mission," a work that had the co-operation and guiding hand at the Y. M. C. A. and public library. Bishop Shaffer in 1908 appointed Mr. Butler as Conference Missionary and Supt. of the A. C. E., a young peoples organization, to which was added the pastorate at Mt. Pleasant, Iowa, the last five months at that conference year. Fresh from these responsibilities, Dr. Butler came to Buxton, Iowa, where he had nothing but high s unding success from the very day of his advent. Here he instituted a revival a few months ago with Mrs. Mary E Wilson, Evangelist, "In the Saddle," which resulted in 103 conversions and 59 accessions; the most successful ever held in the State of Iowa. So that the Buxton church is now in 'point of memberbain, the largest A. M. E. church in the state. 1 24 The above pictures are Mrs. W. H. London of Buxton and Mrs. Dr. J. S.

To Whom It May Concern: I find it a pleasure to say a word in praise of Madame Perkins and her remarkable success in scientific scalp treatment. Madam Perkins, for many years a resident of Denver, is an active member of Zion Baptist church, and one of the most favorably known women in our state. The beautiful hair of hundreds of women in our city and other parts of the state is a tribute to her phenomenal success in her profession. The wonderful growth of her own hair is a most remarkable testimony. I cheerfully recommend her to all ladies who may be interested in the growing and beautifying of the hair. Respectfully, DAVID E. OVER, Pastor Zion Baptist Church. To Whom It May Concern: Having taken Mrs. T. D. Perkins' treatment for the hair for about nine months, I can say it has given perfect satisfaction in every way. My hair was not two inches long when I began to take the treatment, and was very uneven. In some places I could not get it up at all. In these nine months my hair has grown six and one-half inches in length all over my head. I can advise any woman who wishes to have hair to take treatment of Mrs. Perkins, following her instructions, they will have the same result as I have. I cannot praise Mrs. Perkins' treatment enough. Try them. Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 19, 1909. Dear Mrs. Perkins: Your letter at hand, and I am very glad to hear from you. My hair is doing fine, I must say. I am greatly pleased with it. It seems to draw many people attention very much, and I am doing all I can for you every day. I am of your wonderful treatment. I am following your instructions in every way.

To Whom It May Concern: After reading in the Philadelphia Tribune of Madam T. D. Perkins, the Dear Madam Perkins. This is the third month I have used your scalp treatment, and I am greatly pleased with its success. My hair has grown more than four inches, and has taken on new life. It is very soft. I am very well pleased with the treatment Philadelphia, Reaun April 21, 1910. Scalp Specialist of Denver, Colo., demonstrating in Philadelphia, I decided to write her relative to my hair. I received a prompt reply, and sent for her treatment at once. Being so well pleased with the same I went to Philadelphia to have her give me a personal treatment. I never used anything that was so wonderful for the hair, as her treatment. My hair started to grow from the very first, the treatment not only causes the hair to grow, but removes dandruff and makes the hair soft and glossy. My husband thinks my hair is beautiful and says that it is the best I have ever used. I advise all good women that want good hair to write Madam Perkins, for she is doing just what she advertises to do, for those that will carefully follow her instructions. Dear Mra, Perkins: How much I wished I had known you years ago, and taken your treatment for the hair. I would have had better hair today if I had. In the few months I have used your treatment there is such a decided change in my hair and scalp. This is the best treatment I ever used or heard of before, and if your customers would tell the truth they will say the same. I intend to use it as long as I am able to buy it. I wish more of our women knew of your work and would take your treatment. I have known Mrs. T. D. Perkins more than ten years and never knew her to have hair more than two inches long until the past three years. I was more than surprised when she took her hair down to prove to me it was all her own. I put my scalp in her charge at once, and words ca me never express the woman's results of her treatment. I have tried so many hair treatments that my hair is still colorful and healthy, proved beyond a doubt her knowledge of the care of the scalp. I trust every woman who may read this will write Mrs. Perkins and secure a place in her class for treatment for beautifying and growth of the hair. Dear Madam: I have been using your hair treatment for four months, as I must say it is wonderful. My hair was so short I could hardly pinch it u when I began using it, and in one week's time I could see an improvement. have used many things on my hair to make it grow, but none ever did the good you have. I can without exaggeration say this is the most wonderful thing you have ever used. My hair has grown wonderfully since I started to use it, and I must say I am highly pleased with the method of treatment, and I can and will gladly recommend you to anyone wanting their hair to grow. Any one wishing to know more about this wonderful treatment and its growing qualities can write or call at my address, 1858 North Clark Street, Chicago, Ill. I take great pleasure in writing you a few lines, to let you know how well I like your scalp treatment. I think it is fine. Yes, it is grand. My scalp is clean and my hair is black and full of life, and is growing nicely. It is much thicker, and I have only been using the treatment six weeks, and I see such a great change in my hair, and scalp, I hope I will be able to say more of your wonderful scalp treatment in my next letter.
