State Capitol Bldg Hist.leaf Room NAPIER BANQUET ECHOES HEARD New Register of the Treasury Deplores Present Conditions. In First Public Address After Entering Upon Duties of Office Noted Tennessee Says That Things Sometimes Look Dark For the Race. What Former Leaders Did. Washington.—At the recent banquet tendered him by the Tennessee colony of the nation's capital Mr. James C. Napier, the newly appointed register of the treasury, made a notable speech, in detail the growing opportunities for the industrial and economic development of the Negro in the south. The deliverance, coming from such a high source, has attracted nation wide attention. After expressing his heartfelt thanks to his fellow Tennesseeans and his friends from other states who had joined with them in tendering this treasury, he answered briefly the civil and political status of the race since the war Mr. Napier said in part: The predecessors engendered by the peculiar conditions following the close of the war and followed in a burial by the authorities, reconstitution period, we must confess, took deep root in the minds of both white and coloured men, in all of them, include that these conditions could not be altered in a day. But these conditions are changed, in a better feeling being infused together in all the colors between the white and black people of the south. There is a large and growing class of people who have been brought together in the effort to create a better spirit and a better feeling between neighbor and neighbor, whether that A result of all this is that the colored people are building homes and character and are throwing around these the strong cultures that themselves in the business of trades and commerce and are fixing lines of credit and confidence in almost every community. The colored man sees the civilization that surrounds them. They are buying land and are becoming agriculturists. The colored man sees the need for a neighborhood where a grocery store is needed, and immediately he begins the work of establishing that branch of the community, an important factor in every industry that engages the attention of the people in the different communities in which he lives. Where formerly in stores, in factories, in the city, the colored man HON. JAMES O. NAPIER. service he could secure only the lowest grades of work, his education, his good character and trustworthiness and his industrious habits are placing him where he is doing a much higher grade of work and requiring for it much better pay. Sunday will be stewardesses day at the A. M. E. church. A special programme will be rendered. Mr. John W. Patterson of Sioux Falls S. D., and a former residence of our city for years past is in the city renewing acquaintances and shaking hands with old friends. He will remain here for an indefinite time. The A. I. P. club met with Mrs. Anna Roberts last Friday afternoon. Mesdames Mary Knight and Lulu Webb arrived in the city, Thursday, from Clarinda for an indefinite visit with relatives and friends. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Baker, Wednesday, May 17th, a boy. Mother and child doing nicely. Mrs. J. E. Roberts arrived in the city last Saturday to join her husband, Rev. J. E. Roberts who has been waiting her coming. Mr. Fredrick Baker, son of Mrs. Anna Norris returned home last week. He has been travelling with a troop during the Spring through the state of Illinois, Missouri and Nebraska. He will remain home during the Summer, Mr. Joseph Norris left Friday for St. Louis, Mo, to meet his son, John, who is on his way home from Tuskegee college, where he has been attending school for the past year. He will return home with his father." Rev. J. W. Browder, pastor of the Mt. Zion Baptist church returned home from Omaha, Monday, where he went on business. He left his wife sick in a local hospital with inflammatory rheumatism. The I. O. O. F. order of Odd Fellows had their sermon preached Sunday at the A. M. E. church. Rev. J. W. Dowden preached the sermon. The entertainment given for the benefit of the pastor of the A. M. E. church and philanthropic work of the State Federation, which was given at A. M. E. church, Thursday, was a success socially and financially. The W. C. T. U. society met last Thursday evening at the M. Zion Baptist church. The meeting was largely attended. The work was listened to by all present. Mrs. Myrtle Taylor, who went to the hospital two weeks ago to be operated on for the appendicitis; has returned home and is able to be out on the streets Her many friends are glad to see her out among them. Mr. Thomas Vaughn, a paraletic, arrived in our city last week from Hot Springs, S. D. He is without friends and money, and soliciting as he travels along to aid him to his home, which is in Cumberland, Virginia. A liberal collection was taken up at the A. M. E. church, Sunday evening, the sum being $5.47 We should remember in life, that one touch of nature makes us all of one kin. Mr. and Mrs. John Jones gave a social at their residence 715 W. Seventh St., Tuesday evening, 16th. A good number were in attendance. Ice cream and strawberries, with cake, were served. The social was for the benefit of the chair of the A. M. E. church. Billousness and Constipation. For years I was troubled with biliousness and constipation, which made life miserable for me. My appetite failed me. I lost my usual force and vitality. Pepsin preparations and cathartics only made matters worse. I do not know where I should have been today had I not tried Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets. The tablets relieved the ill feeling at once, strengthen the digestive functions, purify the stomach liver and blood, helping the system to do its work naturally.—Mrs. Rosa Potts, Birmingham, Ala. These tablets are for sale by all dealers. MUSCATINE, IOWA We have another Button strike here and there is no telling when we can have quarterly meeting here. There are about nine of our people in that union that are out of work and might possibly have to leave town. Mrs. I. P. Johnson is on the sick list, and has been for nearly four months. The pastor of the A. M. E. church has suffered greatly here this conference year. The help of our other people is fair. We have been under the impression that things would change in the Spring, but the outlook is still dark. The Ice Cream social given by the Sunday school was a success. Miss Luah Barquette of Chicago will spend the Summer at the home of Rev. and Mrs. Payton. Neatly Furnished Rooms and Good Board at Reasonable Prices at If You Want A Good Meal, Ice Cream, Soft Drinks, A Picture Framed, Human Hair Goods Just See R. E. PATTEN Red 8296 Patten's Novelty Co. 1010 Center THE trouble with the harem skirt it will bag at the knees. According to an eastern judge a street piano is a vehicle. Of music? We couldn't imagine a safer place to hide a pocket than in a harem skirt. Beans are now rivals in Boston of sleeping porches in the prevention of tuberculosis. Wrestling is the latest fad of Boston girls. It is good for the figure and the complexion. That Camorra trial, from the description must somewhat resemble an agitated zoo. Tan shoes are going out of fashion again. The trouble is they decline to retain their original color. The Oriental nations do not seem to feel complimented by the adoption elsewhere of the harem skirt. The raglan overcoat is coming back into style. We have not, after a dillent inquiry, been able to find out why. A goat in Kentucky is charged with eating important state documents. Probably looking for inside information. A Chicago real estate man says that a flat is no place for babies anyway. Or phonographs or plano players, either. It is said that 100,000 Americans will spend $25,000,000 in seeing that King George gets his crown on straight. Fifteen hundred dollars for a window on the route of the coronation parade in London! How much for a knot-hole? Physical culture is a great thing. Princeton is planning a stadium where 40,000 persons can sit and watch athletic contests. With two explorers at the south pole, the objective points for future expeditions may actually lead to pleasant spots. Victor Herbert says that Chicago is the musical center of the country. Probably because nearly every man there blows his own horn. An American girl is said to have paid $25,000 for a handkerchief in Paris the other day. She must be getting ready for the hay fever season. It is estimated that Americans will pay $50,000,000 for seats from which to view the coronation pageant. England certainly is getting a rich revenge for 1776. The author of a book entitled "How to Be Happy" recently tried to poison himself because he thinks his life has been a failure. Evidently his book was one also. The sensible masculine view would be that there is no objection to women putting on the divided skirt so long as they do not try to make the men wear the discarded petticoat. The "pasha" skirt is the latest. You can make one by sewing two flour sacks together down to a little below the middle and punching holes through the bottoms. Try it. We haven't time. At a dance given in New York the host wore a live snake wound around him. Opinion as to the inadvisibility of this sort of decoration was probably freely given by the guests on sober thought. Sixty-seven vessels arrive in Chicago daily during the navigation season. This does not include the gasoline launch that comes in at the end of a towline after having gone dead four miles out. Velvet trouser cuffs will be the rage this summer, according to a report from New York. If the style ever is adopted it will behoove mere man to maintain a deep silence on the subject of the harem skirt. The latest fad taken up by Washington society girls is learning how to cook. And how with eager and admiring commendation will that fad be met by the self-constituted critics of much abused femininity! Bugs are asserted to have damaged the peach crop to the extent of $8,000,000. If bugs and frosts did not keep the peach crop down the produce combinations would be dumping the fruit into the river next summer. Now arises a historian to say that Columbus was an impostor. It has already been denied that Queen Isabella pawned her jewels, and it may be that in future generations George Washington will be proclaimed a myth. A French aviator flew 208 miles in 132 minutes. When one can fly at more than 80 miles an hour, and carry 12 persons safely, the possibilities of human flight in heavier-than-air machines become simply unlimited. A circus came across a town in New Jersey lately where the mayor and city officials refused passes with scorn. The circus proprietors did not recover their presence of mind in time enough to invite such unparalleled official rectitude to join the curios exhibits of the show. A hobble skirt in an Indiana town was the cause of a yoke of oxen running away from fright. The skirt was lucky in frightening them. Had it antagonized them it would have been promptly transformed to a gored skirt. PRODUCE FRUIT Iowa Must Spray Trees and Plants To Get Best Results SAYS PROF. G. R. BLISS, AMES If the Insects That Prey on the Trees and Plants Are Killed This Can Become the Greatest Fruit Dea Moines.—Constant spraying of trees and plants is the only possible way, in which Iowa can hope to get the best results in fruit raising, according to Prof. G. R. Bliss of Ames college. If attention is paid to the destruction of the various forms of tree diseases, Iowa fruit growers can lead all others in the fruit field. The one insect that Professor Bliss said must be destroyed is the coddling moth, which develops into the apple worm. He stated that, according to experiments by students of the University of Illinois, 65 per cent of the apples in an orchard that had been sprayed were first grade, whereas there was not a first grade apple in the entire orchard before spraying. Sod and moss must not be allowed to grow near the trees if good results are desired. The sod invites insects that spread disease among the trees. The prospects of good crops were never brighter. Strawberries may suffer a little from the drouth of last fall, but all other berries will be abundant. Raise Sum for Railway. Atlantic.—At a meeting of the farmers at Kimballton, Audubon county, $30,000 was raised to be applied on the fund to buy back from the receiver seventeen miles of the north end of the Atlantic Northern & Southern road when the sale occurs July 24. Together with $140,000 in first, second and third mortgage bonds due the farmers this will give them $170,000 toward purchasing their own branch line. Aviator Near Death at Atlantic. Aviator near Bear in Atlantic Atlantic.—Three thousand people attend opening session of the aviation meeting here and saw Rene Simm in a daring flight that came near cading in his death. On his last flight for the day he was caught several hundred feet in the air in a wind and rain storm and was obliged to make a quick landing a mile from the aviation grounds to save his machine and himself. Merchant Kills Himself Sloux City—A. A. Lester, a well to do merchant, shot and killed himself here today. Despondency because of a divorce his wife had secured three months ago is supposed to be the cause. Lester's brother, while a member of the police force, committed suicide some months ago. Rays to Raise Good Horses Waverly—It pays to raise good horses now, even better than it did when autos were only thought of. A few years ago E. M. Reeves bought a team of Percheron mares for which he paid an even $1,000. A year ago he sold a 2-year-old colt for $800 and now he has disposed of a second colt, getting an even $1,000 for it. Hurle Bike Into Window. Des Moines—Dr. S. B. Garry, of Searshoro, Iowa, was arrested here by Officer Kehner after throwing a bicycle through the front window of a candy store. Several bottles of cocaine and morphine were found on the man when he was searched and it is thought that he was crazed with the drugs when he threw the wheel through the window. Lad Badly Injured in Runaway. Knoxville—Daniel Marsh, the 18-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Marsh, living four miles west of Knoxville, is lying in an unconscious condition and may die, as the result of a runaway accident. He was thrown from his buggy, caught by the feet in the lines and was dragged more than a mile. Farm Hand Kills Self.

Duesseldorf, Rheinish Prussia.—Count Zeppelin's dirigible balloon, the Deutschland, the latest of his models, after a career of only six weeks, was totally wrecked on the roof of its shed. The finish of the airship was less spectacular than that of its five predecessors, but more complete. Fortunately the crew and passengers escaped injury. The accident occurred as the Deutschland was being released for a passenger trip. Eight passengers, four men and four women, had seated themselves comfortably in the cabin, the crew were at their posts and 200 men on the ground clung to the guide ropes as the powerful craft slowly emerged from her berth and, under pressure of over a half million cubic feet of gas, struggled to be free. Just as the airship cleared the shed a violent guest of wind drove her back against the entrance. At the impact several of the balloonettes burst and the released gas destroyed her equilibrium. The army of men at the guide ropes clung on desperately, but were powerless against the wind, and another gust lifted the airship bodily and she dropped on the roof of the shed, her back broken and her hull left dangling over one edge. In this position the crew and passengers, rudely shaken, but not seriously injured, were left helpless until a fire brigade, hurriedly summoned to the scene, ran their ladders to the top of the balloon shed and pulled the marooned ones out of the wreck.

Washington.—On its own initiative, the Supreme court of the District of Columbia instituted proceedings for alleged contempt, against President Samuel Gompers, Vice-President John Mitchell and Secretary Frank Morrison, all of the American Federation of Labor. The sentences of imprisonment imposed on these men by this court were revoked by the United States Supreme court, and the case was remanded to the district supreme court. The United States Supreme court, in setting aside the sentences of imprisonment, held that the case on which the lower court had acted constituted a civil contempt against the Bucks Stove and Range company, and that the offense was punishable only by a fine to be recovered by the wronged corporation. Justice Lamar, in handing down the opinion, called attention to the fact, however, that if the lower court felt aggrieved it could have brought criminal contempt proceedings in the premises and have inflicted a jail sentence. The lower court has been quick to take advantage of the opportunity afforded to reopen the case. As the labor dispute which brought the case into court had ended it was presumed the matter would be allowed to drop. Justice Wright of the district supreme court, who imposed the sentence on Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell and Morrison, in instituting the proceedings anew appointed Joseph J. Darlington, Daniel Davenport and James M. Beck, counsel for the Bucks Stove and Range company, as a committee to inquire "forthwith" into the question of whether the labor leaders had violated the court's order.

The dedication ceremonies took place near Buckingham palace, where the great monument to the late queen overtops the Mall and rears its stately proportions high in the air, crowned by a gigantic bronze statue of Peace. After the ceremonies were over the royal family, together with their German guests of honor, repaired to the palace for dinner.

The court declared that he would not hear oral arguments and directed the attorneys to file briefs within one week. The court then told what he believed is a fair construction of the decision and the whole proceeding ended, in less than fifteen minutes. Judge Carpenter held that the Supreme court must regard the Sherman anti-trust act, under which the defendants have been indicted, as a penal statute.

WILL OBEY THE LAW STANDARD OIL ATTORNEY SAYS COMPANIES AFFECTED BY DE. CISION WILL SEPARATE. NO PLAN YET DECIDED UPON Tobacco Case Ruling Will Determine Taft Policy—President Satisfied With Decision of Supreme Court Despite His Former Views. New York. —At 26 Broadway Standard Oil headquarters, officials of the company seemed to be in anything but a gloomy mood over the Supreme court decision. Their attitude showed clearly that they had expected such an opinion for some time and were ready for it. Two points are clear. First, that there will be no contumacy by the company—it proposes to obey the decree; and, second, that it will be some time before any plans of reorganization are given out. The company has insisted through out that no plans had been formulated in advance of the decree, and the statement made by Mortimer F. Elliot, general solicitor for the company, takes the same attitude. He said: "Having only before us the press reports of Chief Justice White's oral opinion and the remarks of Justice Harlan, and not having seen the opinion of the court in full, it is impossible to make any lengthy statement. The full opinion must be read and studied by my associates and myself before it can be intelligently dealt with. "It may, however, be said that the Standard Oil company will obey the decree of the court and that all the companies embraced in the court's decree will carry on their business as usual under the direction of their own officers and through their own corporate organizations." Washington. — Until the Supreme court has rendered its decision in the pending case of the tobacco trust the administration will formulate no policy based on Monday's far-reaching decision. The manner in which the court will now apply the rule laid down in the Standard Oil case to the facts presented in the suit against the tobacco trust become the paramount issue with department officials. Broadly speaking, Attorney-General Wickersham-regards Monday's decision the most important declaration ever made by a court of justice. But because of the fact that a new rule is laid down it becomes essential to observe how the court will enforce the rule before any of the proceedings are begun under the new dispensation. It is regarded as particularly fortunate that there is to be had so soon as the Standard Oil decision an opinion from the court that will serve as a guide in all future litigation. So far as the effect of the decision is concerned, both the president and Attorney-General Wickersham declared that they were perfectly satisfied; and neither would permit himself to be drawn into any expression of opinion with regard to the point made by Associate Justice Harlan in his dramatic dissent. Not even the quotations from President Taft's previous utterances, which seem to put him at variance with the majority view of the court served to bring forth any explanation from Mr. Taft. In conversation with callers on this point, he merely referred to the fact that every man was entitled to a view on the circumstances before the Supreme court had passed on a case; but once the court had decided, it is the president's opinion that patriotic duty and a regard for American institutions require that every citizen loyalty accept the view of the Supreme court as his own. The president does not believe that the Sherman anti-trust law requires any amending by reason of the decision of the Supreme court and accordingly he will make no recommendations to congress to that end, while the attorney general does not, altogether share the view that additional legislation is not desirable, he does not believe that legislation at this time would improve the situation. Both the president and the attorney general are as one in the belief that modern business demands some latitude for operation under the changed economic conditions, and in private discussion they point to the methods that have been adopted in both Germany and Great Britain where trade combinations have been recognized and legalized and brought under proper and necessary regulation by the state.

Kattner COPYRIGHT 1905, THE BOBBS-MERRILL COMPANY SYNOPSIS. Miss Selina Luce, spinner grocery-store-store of the community, presides over an impromptu day nursery for the babies of the community, places in a place. Her charges are kept in soap boxes and are known as the "Soap-Box" and makes her somewhat of an object of interest, as she possessed of stronger material instinct than many of them. One of her intimate friends of Widow Page, who lives in the white-washed Widow Page, visits her sister Miss Selina and learns that she has ken another "soap-box" in. Alan Kent, a studio in her barn. CHAPTER II. Continued. "What's your friend like?" asked Miss Cynthia interestedly. "He's a kinder forlorn-like young man that paints pictures what are plumb uplifting for other folks to see. They are jest out and out surprising. When I seen his heart was so sot on the barn to work in—I jest aln't one to hold out against other folks hankering fer what's mine, and so—lands alive, there he comes now!" He came the river, the Bluff came the forlorn one, and the two or three minutes he consumed in striding across the lot to the grocery door Miss Cynthia spent in a paralyzed regard of him. He was tall and broad and had a square chin and laughing, dark eyes. So much she could see, but further details were obscured, for perched on his right shoulder was the Blossom, nodding like a flower in the breeze, and on his left arm bobbled Carrots of the flaming hair. To one knickerbockered leg chin Bennie Dobbs, while the other leg was dangled with the wounded hand of Ethel Mand, who ran to keep up with the procession. In due time they arrived at the foot of the steps on which stood Miss Cynthia, still belynized with surprise, and Miss Sellina Lue, anxious to do the honors in the way of an introduction. The swaying of the Blossom and herutch of his hair had hid Miss Cynthia's eyes, the artist, and his surprised eyes took on a vision in white linen a1. large rosegarden hat with such a start that there threatened a rain of babies on Miss Sellina Lue's devoted head. "Make you quainted with Miss Cynthia, Mr. Alan—not as that's his last name, as is Kent, but we feel so friendly with him now we compliment him with his first. Miss Cynthia, please take Blossom so he can put Carrots in his box; he is most drove off and I am going to get a bucket of land and we can get to git a bucket of land and some starch for Miss Dobbs for she is in such a hurry." Miss Sella Lue's energetic treatment of the situation released Miss Cynthia's motor nerves and she became once more herself, a very sweet, cool, formal self that acknowledged the introduction with graceful aloofness. This most appropriate attitude was achieved somewhat modified by having to descend to the step above that upon which he stood in order that she might get possession of Blossom who was drooping toward her with an enchanted gurgle. As Miss Cynthia raised her arms she also raised her long lashes a fraction, and inadvertently achieved an inchoacious amusement that sent little fuming embarrassment all over the still dumb Mr. Kent. It was enough to floor any man to find suddenly that a girl was laughing at him—and such a girl in such a hatt! Of course he realized that he looked like a new style perambulator, but what—the arm that steamed Blossom trembled and she was about to be lowed into the embrace of her waiting friend, when with a little squeal and a scornful kick of one pink foot she had detained itself with black hair and absolutely refused to leave her perch. In vain Miss Cynthia wooded with outstretched hands; Blossom held to her coign of vantage. A mean little feeling of gratification cooled the embarrassment in Mr. Kent's veins, and he said gently, too likely perhaps: "Try lower down. Carrots will, I am sure, be more amenable to the—th-charm." And he rolled that very sleepy young gentleman into her outstretched arms. A gleam of vexation was all the return he got for the trick he had played with her. He was ready for both Blossom and him, Miss Cynthia turned and mounted the steps and made her way to the back of the store. Rage, yes, actual rage was boiling within her as she laid the heavy baby on the pillow and threw the mosquito netting over him. The man's calm assumption of an intimate friendship with Miss Selina Lue and the babies and the grocery, and she had almost included herself, was unendurable. And Blossom, who had always been overjoyed at her attentions, refusing to leave him for herself was the last straw. But, even worse, could the man have meant to insinuate that she was consequently exerting a charm, for him, so Blossom's shoulder? he move up, such a thing settled materials! With the head in the air she held a paper of tacks, which Miss Selina Lue hastened to wrap up her, all unmindful of the proximity of the volcano. "I do wish you didn't have to go, Miss Cynthie, honey. I was jist counting on your setting with us awhile to go' qualited with Mr. Alan. He do talk so interesting about pictures and things we don't know nothing about. You can learn a heap from him. Why, Mr. Dobbs is a wasting jest last night that the things he tells us about are plumb educating. You must come down often to see him." And within "yard of Miss Selina Lue stood the KETT "What'a Your—Friend Like?" Asked Miss Cynthla Interestedly. helpless victim of her enthusiasm, Blossom in his arms swaying with sleep. The color of his face and ears and the set of his square jaw told the tale of his embarrassment which cared up into rage surpassing that which burned in the bosom of his adversary as she answered gently, very gently: "Miss Selina Lue; I am sadly unable to explain many things." And with her laugh in the and the suspicion of a tilt to her very classic little nose, Miss Cynch this swept out of the door without so much as a glance either to the right or the left. "Now amt's she sweetest thing!" exclaimed Miss Selina Lue as she leaned out of the door and watched the retreating figure with admiring eyes, all unconscious of the snub and the feelings of the snubbed. "She's jest that good and kind and loving she didn't hardly believe it, could you?" "No, it's hard to believe that anybody could be—like that! Does she happen often in these parts?" answered Mr. Alan in a weak voice. "Why, she's our Miss Cynthie from up on the hill—you know the big house with the white pillars and the long walks with box scrubs on each side. Her ma, Mis' Jackson Page, owns all this Bluff and most of the land 'twixt here and the edge of town, and she is one of the first families though we all do come here from Adam and Eve. Theyn't rich, because the city took a notion to grow out west of the University, and here are beetles high and dry except for warmer days when it can't get out it. Mr. Jinzo is conductor on one of 'em and Mr. Flarity is motorman on the other, and they don't make but six trips a day. We are all a-hanging on here on 'count of the boat landing and some of the men arunning on the river. Looks like procreative's kinder shy at us, fer 'Mis' "What's Your—Friend Like?" Jackson Page can't sell a foot of her land for decent price, and she's just downright land-poor, as the saying is. "Is Mr. Flirtary the Flirtary who is the owner of Carrots and his brother?" asked Mr. Alan. He had deposited Blossom on the counter and she had immediately curled up in a little bunch and plunged into the depths of sleep. He seated himself on the steps as he questioned Mr. Alan about his parents' memory of the twins--anything to get h' mind off the scourful lady of the H. mansion and give his a chance to cool down. "Yes, and he is the most misfortunate man I ever did know about some things. His wife have had twins twice, and a tapeworm, and now she's gone to the hospital to stay three months to get cured of it. The poor thing wouldn't go until I promised to invite the babies for a visit while she were away. All the others are dead is what makes her nervous about these." Miss Selina Lue was $s$ busy dusting the row of bluing in the failed to see the effect of her naive revelations in the domestic situation in the guilty household. "Flarity's a mothering sort of a man and he comes by and gits the twins after eight clock and takes them home for the night and leaves them on the back steps with the cat when he has to go on the very early morning runs. I go out and git them right away as soon as I can slip on some clothes." "Does Miss Clemmie spend the night?" "Oh, no—Mis' Simmons don't bring her over till after ten. She takes the ten-forty car into where she washes dishes for the Women's Exchange lunch. She has to stay until almost sundown, and comes home dead-beat. I don't want to say anything hard of Mr. Simmons, but it do seem he has his family keerless like on a good salary." "What," inquired Mr. Alan from the doorstep, "does the brute do?" "Well, I wouldn't akeercey can nim a brute, I think," said Miss Sellina Lue, as she shook out her duster and began on the shelf of canned tongue. "He runs a wagon wagon and he says it is a advertisement for the house for him to be a stylish dresser, but I can't see why the house has to have his pants pressed every morning and have him wear purple socks and tan shoes, when his wife is all drug out with trying to piece along and keep going. Sometimes I think it must be vanity in Mr. Simmons, and vanity in a man turkey gobbler a-strugging in November. "What about vanity in the ladles, Miss Sellina Lue? You surely don't approve of that." "Now, Mr. Alan, we mad at what I said about the men and are trying to git even with me." And Miss Selina Lue smiled over her shoulder at him. Miss Selina Lue's smile was like a broad beam of sunshine on a summer morning. "Don't you know how much I have gone women folks shiny curls, cheeks pikk like a peach, figgers plump beautiful and eyes blue as the wild violets on the creek, like Miss Cynthie there, lessen he intended to excuse them some for being proud?" "I don't believe he would just stand for that amount of pride and grudge Mr. Slimmons the purple socks," murmured Mr. Alan over his cigar in careful sotto voice, and immediately Miss Selina Lue of the turbing topic of her friend's perfections. "Anything interesting in the family histories of the other two soap boxes, Miss Selina Lue? It seems the thing on the Bluff to know all about your neighbors, and my intimacy with your kiddies grows up." There was a winning wholesomeness in Mr. Alan's voice that struck a kindred note in the story of Kellum Law, and she weaved in the unbossoming of herself to him. His dark eyes shone with interest and his straight mouth had an unexpected quirk in the left corner, easily interpreted as indicative of a sense of humor. "Well, Pattie Tyne, the little one that can't hardly set up good yet, is jest so to speak a transient, as her ma have gone on a visit to her sister over to Union City. After she had got the dress she needed, she wasn't nothing to fix Pattie up in ittten for a visit, so she left her with me. I wash the blue gingham out of nights and place out with a dress of Blossom's when it's needed bad. Looks asked Miss Cynthia Interestedly. like Mis' Tyne dreads the sewing machine and a bolt of boltic like they was typhoid smallpox." "And last, but not leat, tell me the tale of Blossom, the lady of my heart, the only person who really appreciates me for my true worth, which is pepermint candy in limited quantities and the only person I ever existed in height. Blossom is a lady of discernment and has the courage of her predilections."

T time; the whole family slept in the second room. The Ohio river, on which in those days rafts, steamers and flatboats piled, flowed from the front door. The father, Jesse Grant, was at that time foreman of the tannery of the village. He had lost his money and was now saving more money for a new start. The Grants, originally settled in Massachusetts, had emigrated to Pennsylvania, and in 1799 to Ohio. Ulysses' mother's father, John Simpson, also went from Pennsylvania to Ohio about 1819. In the autumn of 1823 the Grants removed to Georgetown, the county seat of his remained Ulysses' home until at the age of seventeen he went to West Point. The year after the birth of Ulysses Jesse set up a tannery of his own in Georgetown, which was situated in a wilderness of oaks that provided abundance of tanbark. Jesse Grant was strong in body and mind, nearly six feet high, with large head and strong face. He was essentially a New Englander, was fond of arguing, and was much criticised in the community because of his dogmatic nature, except where clearings had been made for the fields; these were still filled with stumps. The manners of the people were rude. The houses were small, with low ceilings, beared walls and little furniture. They were modified woodsman's cabins, with outside chimneys and a lean-to kitchen behind. The citizens were plain people, but they despised foolish pride, and they ridiculed the name Jesse given his son and another named "Ulysses" by the name named Himrud Ulysses; the first name was dropped and S. was afterward adopted by Grant as the initial of his mother's name, Simpson. The father was always extremely fond of his boy and excited the riddle of his neighbors by prophecies of his greatness. The Ohio schools were then very indifferent; they were supported by subscription, and a single teacher would have thirty or forty scholars, from little ones learning the A, B, Cs up to girls and boys of eighteen studying reading, writing and arithmetic. From the age of five or six until seventeen, Ulysses attended the subscription school of Georgetown, except during the winter when he studied at Marrysville, Ky, and the winter of 1838-9 when he studied at a private school at Ripley. Ohio. He was not studious; both winters were spent going over the same old arithmetic, of which he knew every word before. His father was, from the boy's earliest recollection, in comfortable circumstances for that time and region. His great desire was for the education of his children; so Ulysses never missed a quarter from school. He had to work, however, as everyone labored in that region then; his father not only carried on the manufacture of leather and worked at the trade himself, but also owned and farmed some land. Ulysses hated the tanning business, but was fond of farming and of all employments in which horses were used. When Ulysses was eight years old he began hauling from the farm all the wood used in the house and shop; he could not load it on the wagons, but he could live it on the chopper and load, and someone at the house would unload. In the woods he was willing to help strip the bark from the trees and to set fire to stumps and brush piles, but the tannery was repulsive to him; he would not scrape nor even handle them. In ten years Jesse Grant had become one of the prosperous citizens of the town; he had built a brick house and owned a carriage. When Ulysses was ten years old he used to drive a team all alone to Cincinnati, 40 miles Seemingly Uncoincious Remarks of Little Ones Aid Father in Poker Game. William Loeb, Jr., at a recent dinner in New York, said, apropos of smuggling: "The smuggler's ingenuity is incredible. It suggests Tricotrin. "Tricotrin, you know, a French bakery, and every evening his cronies would gather in the room behind the shop for a game of poker. "It happened one evening that the jackpot was unusually large. Tricotrin, after all, said: "My braves, I shall win this pot," and he drew two cards. "But the other three players also thought they would win, and hence the betting was very brisk. The pot, in fact, soon became enormous. Then, in the midst of all those raises and counter raises, Tricotrin's little boy leaned over his father's shoulder and OD OF UNION ULYSSES ORANT away, and bring home a load of passengers. His mother was a sweet, lovely woman loved by everybody, and she agreed in her husband's effort to educate Ulysses and saw that he was always well dressed and ready for school. Ulysses, either on account of his superlority or because of his quietness, was always an object of ridicule among his mates; yet he commanded respect. He kept among the better class of boys, never swore or used vulgar words, or used tobacco in his youth, or drank; and he was the soul of honor. At ten years of age he astonished everybody by his ability to manage horses. He liked farming; he saved his money; and he was always willing to haul and plow. When he was not busy otherwise he would haul passengers to Ripley, to Maysville or to Cincinnati. When he was thirteen he worked in the farm, his father was asked if he was not afraid to trust his boy on such a long trip, he replied that he could take care of himself. From eleven years of age until he was seventeen, he did the work done with horses, breaking up the land, furrowing, plowing corn and potatoes, bringing in the crops when harvested, hauling all the horses to the farm, fending the horses, a cow or a wooden wood for stoves, while still attending school. He was never scolded or punished by his parents. No objection was made to rational amusements, such as fishing, going to the creek a mile away to swim in summer, taking a horse to visit his grandparents 15 miles off, or taking a horse and sleigh when there was snow on the ground. Ulysses got a horse to go to the school, however; the teacher, John D. White, used to compel the boys to bring in switches in bundles from a beech wood near the school house, and often a bunch would be used up in a day. Ulysses was a good swimmer, could play ball well, and could ride standing on one foot on the back of a galloping horse. The girls liked him; he had a team and sleigh to take them to school, and they were strong and sturdy. His parents loved Methodist church and Ulysses was trained to respect the Sabbath, and his mother's religious spirit made a deep impression upon him. When he was sixteen his father wished him to help in the tannery. He told his father he disliked it, but he would work for him till he was twenty-one but not a day more. His father replied that if he did not mean to stick to it he need not go into the tannery now, and he asked what he would like. The boy said he would be a farmer or a river trader or get an education or an orphanage. He was to Ripley O. then to emery there. That winter he spent the Christmas holidays at home, and during his vacation his father received a letter from the United States senator from Ohio. When he had read the letter he turned to Ulysses, saying: "Ulysses, I believe you are going to receive the appointment." "What appointment?" the boy asked. "To West Point. I have applied for it." "But I won't go." Ulysses said. His father replied, "I think you will. And Ulysses thought so, too if his father for that purpose had no objection to going except of the requirements necessary to get through and could not bear the idea of falling. He had always a desire to travel, and to go to West Point would "Oh. look! Papa has got four cards all alike!" "Silence! Idiot! shouted Tricotrin. "But it was too late. Nobody would see Tricotrin's next raise. The betting stopped and the baker took the pot. "Then he took his boy upstairs and spanked him. "But fancy, half an hour later, in the middle over a second pot, Tricotrin's girl shouted. 'Oh, papa, you've got four cards all alike!' And again Tricotrin scraped in a mound of chips that, but for the little girl's remark, might have been a mountain. "Tricotrin took the little girl upstairs and spanked her, too. But on toward the evening's end his youngest boy, a child in frocks, spoiled a third enormous jackpot with the observation: 'Pa, why have you got four cards all exactly alike?' One of the players, instead of drawing out forthwith, met Tricotrin's raise. EARTH-PLACE OF GENE GRANT give him the chance to visit Philadelphia and New York. He had saved $100 and was proud to give the $5 payoff. He started for West Point about the middle of May, 1839, by way of Pittsburg, Harrisburg and Philadelphia. He stopped five days in Philadelphia; an aunt there described him as a rather awkward country boy, wearing plain, ill-fitting clothes and large coarse shoes. His stay in New York was shorter, and he reported at West Point May 30. Two weeks later he passed the examination for a doctor without difficulty, much to his surprise, all in other new at West Point, he was bullied and called all sorts of names. He felt awkward in his new uniform, and the innumerable rules and regulations annoyed him. The boys nicknamed him "Uclem Sam" and then "Sam." He became the most daring horseman in the academy; he lacked elegance, however; the southern men, at that period, led all in social affairs; the tanner's son was among the plebeians at the school. He soon became known as most truthful, good and honest, and one from whom man might be expected. He was quiet, but full of ability to study for fun. He did well to his studies with avidity and rarely read a lesson over a second day. Mathematics was very easy to him. He afterward said of his standing: "If the class had been turned the other end foremost, I should have been very near the head." When he was ready for his forlough after two years, he had acquired a soldierly bearing; he was now nineteen. His father was delighted with his improvement and provided a fine colt for him. He enjoyed this forlough beyond any other person of life. The last year of his time the wore away more rapidly for him than the first two had done, and at last all the examinations were passed and all the members of the class were called upon to record their choice of arms of service and regiments. Ulysses recorded his first choice cavalry; second, Fourth infantry, and got the latter. He graduated the twenty-first in a roll of thirty-nine. He had a good record in mathematics and engineering, a alfa record in all things, and a hawk record in a horse. After a furlough at home, he reported September 30, at Jefferson Barracks, St. Louis, with the Fourth United States infantry. Dissertation on Woman "What constitutes society? Woman; she is its sovereign arbitress; it exists for her and for her exclusively. But woman forms the great educating influence for man; she it trains him in the gifts that charm—courtesy, discretion, and the pride that shudders her heart. She is a few the art of pleasing, and all the useful art of not displeasing. From her we learn the lesson that human society is more complex and more delicately adjusted than is generally suspected by the politicians of the cafes. Last, but not least, it is she brings home to us the great truth that the human faith are invincible forces, and that it is by no means reason that governs humankind."—Antoile France. Panama. Recularities It is news to some people that the entrance to the Panama canal is more than 600 miles to the east of New Orleans. A visitor to the isthmus is apt to have many of his fixed ideas in regard to geography. He finds that the canals find the farther end of the canal farther west than the western end; he finds the canal running from a northwesterly to a southwesterly direction; he sits on a porch at Colon and watches the sun sink into the Atlantic; and, if he rises at the hour that he sees the sun come up at Ancon, he will see the sun come up out of the Pacific—Exchange.

Medical Society President Says Insane Not Properly Handled Dr. Volding Declares Commissioners Violate the Law When They Fail to Call Outside Physician in Insanity Cases. Des Moines, May 19.—As president of the Iowa State Medical Society, Dr. M. N. Voldeng who is also superintendent for the insane at Cherokee gave the annual address before the assembled medical men of the state in the sixth session at the Colleague. More humane treatment of insane patients was emphasized by Dr. Voldeng, who condemned the practices of the county commissioners for the insane in not abiding by the law in employing outside expert medical opinion when the sanity of a person insane is stable. He stakes the case of sending a sheriff to bring an insane patient to hotel, court house or jail for examination by the commissioners was severely scored by Dr. Voldeng, who stated that this very act mitigated against the patient. The law providing for a suitable room for the detention of such patients was also ignored by the board of commissioners. He commended the legislature for its adoption of the bill to prevent procreation of habitual criminals and feeble minded, but regretted that no provision had been made for the care of epileptic patients of the state in separate state institution. The decision for the commission to investigate the causes of insanity, epilepsy, deficiency, delinquency and criminality and to report its findings to the next general assembly was especially depleted by Dr. Voldeng. The first session of the house of delegates was held last evening following the session of the general association. The roll of delegates was called. There are 1,839 members of the association, according to the annual report of V. L. Treyron of Council Bluffs. Of this number 340 were in attendance at the convention yesterday in Des Moines. DEPARTMENTS OF PUBLICITY The New Law Authorizing Cities To Create Department Opens Field For Local Clubs. Des Moines, May 19—The new law authorizing cities to create departments of publicity-opens a splendid field for work by the local clubs. While the law contemplates the employment of a superintendent of the department, and such action would probably achieve the largest measure of success in the leading cities of Iowa, greater results with a limited appropriation would be obtained by cooperation between the municipal authorities and the local club. Should be an easy matter to arrange the appointment of a nominal head of the department from the membership of the club, and by turning the appropriation over to the club to handle as a body, secure the co-operation of every member of the organization in making one dollar do the work of several. Tama Pioneer Passes Tama, May 19—Thomas Murray, aged 83, a Tama county pleneer and one of the founders of the town, died at his residence here yesterday.

During the evening a two course luncheon was served. The place favors were pink and white carnations. The color scheme of the club being carried out in almost everything. The cream being pink hearts with white trimmings on the edge, and the name of the club, Bon Ami, in white in the center. Little Elizabeth Redd presided at the frappe bowl. Those attending from a distance were: Miss Faye Brooks, of Burlington; Miss Nissie Sykes, of Fairfield; Miss Moni Motts, of Sigourney; Miss Lottie Greaver, Mrs. Anderson, Mrs. Johnson and Mr. McGill, Mrs. Wilson, of Ottumwa; Mrs. Edna Jones and Jennie Hardy, of Oskaloosa; Mr. Watson, of Monmouth, Ill.; Mr. Howard Motts, of Daxport. Last week an accident happened to Geo. W. Black that he will not soon forget. He was in the path of a gasoline explosion, which knocked him down and burned the left side of his face and left arm pretty badly, but he is getting along alright now. It was lucky for him that his clothing was not set on fire. The Allen League of the A. M. E. church celebrated the eleventh anniversary of its birth last Sunday eve.

The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO. We advise you you use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oldest and best of its kind.) See that the name PORO is on every box, not genuine without it. Prepared only by Mrs A. M. POPE.

It always has been and always will be. There are many good and generous men in it. There are many who will lend a helping hand to you in your adversity, but in the time of need you will not find them among the men who tried to get you to embark in speculation with your little surplus, and to sell you something which would help you to "easy money." Be self-reliant. Make your own investment into investments. When you cannot, put your money in a good savings bank. Distrust the financial demagogues as you distrust the political demagogue. Keep your hand on your pocketbook as you travel life-first, to give always in proportion to your means to those who are poor; second, to hold from those who would take through force or frand what you need for yourself and yours. You will then, writes Mr. Dawes in the Saturday Evening Post, have your hand where most of the other fellows have only their eyes. In this alone you will have the advantage of them 60 YEARS EXPERIENCE PATENTS TRADE MARKS DESIGNS COPYRIGHTS & C. Anyone sending a sketch and description may use it without permission.

The ameer has published an edifice which applies to all parts of Afghanistan, prohibiting the import into the country of all kinds of gold lace, including embroidered kullas lungis and embroidered shoes. The ameer is evidently actuated by a desire to prevent his subjects from spending their hard earned money on show dress. It is the poorer classes who are notoriously addicted to this extravagance which his majesty has decided to check. The gold laced coat of the Afghan is decidedly handsome, and although the ameer has acted wisely in bringing into general use clothing less costly, his majesty's orders will doubtless be received by his subjects with gather mixed feelings. Proper Bestowal of Charity. Dickens: There are not a few among the disciples of charity who require in their vocation, scarcely less excitement than the votaries of pleasure in theirs; and hence it is that diseased sympathy and compassion are every day expended on out-of-the way objects, when only too many demands upon the legitimate exercise of the same virtues in a healthy state are constantly within the sight and hearing of the most unobserved person alive. In short, charity must have its romance, as the novelist or the playwright must have his. A Chance for a Bargain An Irishman who had begun to pressite photography went into a shop to purchase a small bottle in which to mix some of his solutions. Seeking one he wanted, he asked the chemist how much it would be. "Welch," said the chemist, "it will be two pence as it is but you want anything in it, I won't charge you for the bottle." "Thea," said Pat. "put a cork in it." When we first began our wonderful work all lengths, and all conditions of hair places of the head, many persons scornible; but we have grown the hair for hair proof of the value of our work is the persons whose own hair we have actually have very frequently mentioned us when thelrs is the same or "just as good" or use only PORO Hair Grower, (the oi name PORO is on every box, not genuine A.
