THE DISSOLUTION OF THE BY . STANDER CO. Last week we announced that Iowa State Bystander mutually dissolve its company, invoiced its plant, and John L. Thompson purchased most all of its shares and a reorganization corporation to form a new company.

The new management can say that the members of the old company that the generous pump up the money that the parties now owning it will ask your continued confidence and support for we hope by your cooperation to make the Bystander the best paper in conservative and real repelling to reason, despite the right and consent the gross injustice and monitor wrongs perpetuated upon the colored American.

Urich, the drunken teen who so brutally attacked Dr. Booker T. W. ington, the Tuckeeg educator, on a public street in this city last March, wrought to book" in the Court "Schoel' Sessions, Part V, today, Judge Zeller, Mayo and Ryan pre- sident. Dr. Washington was in court to present Ulrich; present also were his secretary, Emmett J. Scott; Hon. Chas. Revenue for the Second District of New York; Fred H. Moore, editor and publisher of The New York Age; Hon. Ralph W. Tyler, auditor for the Navy Department, Washington, D.C.; George J. Moore, auditor and other of Dr. Washington's friends. The people of the State of New York were represented by Assistant District Attorney James E. Smith. Dr. Washington's personal attorney, Wilford R. Smith, was present as consulting attorney. Ulrich has continued to have this case delayed each time it has been called for trial, hoping that Dr. Washington would drop the prosecution; today, through his counsel, he again said that he would not be able to get his witnesses into court—this despite the fact that he has had seven months to do so. District Attorney Smith opposed the motion, claiming that Ulrich had no witnesses, and that his plea for delay was simply an effort to avoid the consequences of the trial. The judges decided they would give him one more chance, and have set the case down for trial Monday, November 6. Dr. Washington has notified the District Attorney's office that he will cancel the series of engagements he has for "coincidental and the West, more than once, as to be responsible for Ulrich." The assault occurred several months ago, and Ulrich at that time told contradictory stories of what led to it. To the police he said that he had taken Dr. Washington to the hospital, and he said that Dr. Washington had insulted Mrs. Ulrich, his wife, Ulrich, however, was never married to the woman he claimed was his wife, and the real years ago, he was deserted by him several years ago, confronted him in court when he was today arraigned for trial.

Your life means a life of sacrifice, Of more than can ever be told; as it is an importance Of riches, greater than gold. Is the reward that is to come, When your earthly labors are ended And the Master has said, "Well done." Tonight as we welcome our pastor, If we love him let's tell him so. Do not wait until he has left us, And then words of praise bestow. Words of cheer and appreciation Spoken we are asking; he said, And worth more than the finest eulogies Written when we are dead; Sometimes on these occasions, We make flowery speeches galore. Then we go home, and throughout the Then let us not be spasmodie in the struggle in which we're involved But work steadily on, with a laugh and a song. And our problems will soon be solved.

Bloodhounds were at one time often called upon to assist an army in the field, the forces with which the earl of Boen suppressed the Irish rebellion in the time of Elizabeth, for instance, being companied by 800 dogs. In the Booth clan feuds and wars between England and Scotland bloodhounds were regularly employed in the war with the Warriors in Wallace and Bruce hounds in this man- ser. Wallace is said to have hated his partners by killing a follower and having the corpse for the bound to find, while Bruce adopted the four crusel plan of waiting some distance down a stream and ascending a tree when overhanging the water. ee ee eae eT ven o : \ ul PT Ce ae : | SS fea aE eee oh Sou Sei ots, \ Pepe ee ks > \ ies a fi fi aa aS a a : } F ; : Towa State Bystander BYBTANDER FuB, CO, Publishers ‘pie woes, = + 1OWA —_————e SS __{Waruhlps are nenrly atwars tonded. | Aviation fa nat yot above’ the chapew ot meoldent Feminine fashion ls doing ite best fe improve on patcre. ‘Wrestiing '9 nots popular sport, decause ft is lawfu! and humane ‘The new comet has no tall and « (allies comet ia & sorry spectacle. © Swarta has decreed that the corset swat go."

It is then, a noteworthy fact that acrobas have worked out almost independently the ideas for the development of their people, while the whites have furnished most of the "where-with-all" to put these plans into operation, themselves being induced by the transaction. Much attention is being attracted just now to the American Interchurch college being established in Nashville, Tennessee, to train individuals for carrying on religious work. The main college, for whites, will be affiliated with Vanderbilt university and Peabody college, while the colored department will be affiliated with the colored colleges of the city. The Interchurch college has a capitalization of $1,000,000. There will be raised $200,000 for the colored colleges, making the total investment $1,200,000. A layman wonders if a movement of this kind means that the church is losing ground and must in this way be reinforced to be saved itself; or does it show that the church has failed in fulfilling one of its missions? It has boasted of fitting workers for the Master's vineyard. Is this important feature of church work to be turned over to religious schools?—Southern Life Magazine. It is a source of deep regret to see warriors among the younger women of our city. To see so many of our young women parading the streets alone at night, darting in here and there bound for a good time must make thoughtful men and women stop and consider, what is to become of our future? Such actions are not restricted to a certain class, the ordinary girl whose home life and environment has not been the best, whose education and society circles has not been with the young men of our city, the real "best girls" of our city. Some of them run the streets and are like passengers as if having no home, people or good associates. Just lately some of the girls of city were forced to pass the words, "We must drop her," because this girl was making herself too common, had given up the idea of living a clean, respectable, decent life, forsaking possibly all chances of taking on the happiness of matrimony and bringing joy in the world with the beauties of home life. The Chronicle aims not to be a life preserver of those that are hidebound for destruction and immortality—with all hopes gone, but it suggests that the good club women of our city, individually for that matter, to use some influence in encouraging young girls to seek the right paths, to so conduct themselves that they may not fall and be lost by displacement and finally lost as a respectable member of decent and refined people. No race can rise higher than its women and it behooves us to look these conditions in the face; not merely mediate, in the face, with a definite purpose of uplifting and women, let us use the wayfairs on the men. Young men and old men for that matter can stop encouraging young women to be out at nights, to meet at certain places, such as winerows, cafes and buffet houses. Our decent young men should think of their own sisters and the respect in which they should be held when they in turn invite young women to places that lead to drink and vice. With the wave over the city to stop graft and gambling, it might be opportune to start a wave to save the young women, stop the passengers and wayfarers in the streets and turn them in the direction of home life, decency and respectability—Illinois Chronicle. Dr. E. H. Oliver, pastor of Warren Chapel M. e. church, Atlanta, Ga., sets aside one Sunday of each year as "Old Polk's day," when the young people honor to the fathers and mothers in honor for their past service and present commendation, helps to keep the younger and older elements of the church in harmonious touch, and impresses upon the young people respect for old age. The bishop was one of the officials of his church who paid strict adherence to the doctrines of his church. He was a man of high moral character—a great reformer. Bishop Malatiainen was a true and intimate friend of Bishop Jilbwr Haven. Bishop Gilbert Haveau for years took great interest in the wolface of the negroes, especially in the southern states. Thus these two religious reformers walked idee by idee in the work of their bhagad Muster—Christian index. The season is upon us when the college and university throw open their doors to the young men and women of the race. Many are returning to devote another year to knowledge, while thousands for the first time will seek the ways of wisdom. The educational institutions in the south have done more for the negro people in forty years than educational institutions have done for any people before in an hundred years. As we count the seasons and mark the achievements of the people since the close of the Civil war, we marvel at the revolution by the books and a consecrated army of teachers. Everywhere in the south the preacher and the teacher, ought to go among the people, pick their brightest youth and urge them to seek a school of training. In this way we can build up a leadership, not with respect to the people, but with respect to scholarship, to science, to art and to the professions. Sight must not be lost of the preparation the great mass of people ought to have in the trades. In agriculture, particularly agriculture, and the household economy. To us it is encouraging to note that much of the silly debating that got into the life of the race ten or fifteen years ago about education, its need and kind, has passed out. What the negro needs is education; the kind he needs no man can establish. Booker Washington was never wiser than in his refusal to set metes and bounds for the training of colored men and women. His opinion is our opinion and the accepted rule of all who study with a serious mind the situation in the south. What is education? As many answers to this riddle are there philosophers in the council we have had. But it is safe to say that education, whether the spirit or method of it, gives the power to see two stars where we saw only one before, and makes two bolls of cotton to grow where only one grew before. Education, they tell us, means service, and he is not educated who does not serve his fellowman. That is true, but education means also individual emancipation, not only out of selfishness, but also out of poverty. It is a poor education that gives the man or the woman no power to lift himself up. Colored people can afford to disregard the warring ideas, and opinions regarding education and insist upon the children getting hold of useful knowledge, that is, knowledge that will help us all forward to a wider life, and to a higher place in the higher life of the country. Any education that will be the proper education. The education does not do this is no education at all—Editorial: New York Age. Governor Northen in a recent address before the Evangelical Minister's union of Atlanta holds that religion is the only remaining sufficient solution of the negro problem. This seems strange when one looks at it from the negro's standpoint. It would seem that the real problem is not of the negro's making but is a by-product of white prejudice. If religion is the solution then whose religion? The negro has religion enough to spare and the evidences of his passivity are the page of his contact with white people. Clearly the governor means that the religion of the white people is defective insofar as it pertains to according the negro those rights and privileges which are guaranteed by the fundamental law of the land. We are at one with the governor that only religion can cure the evil, but how can we get at the people with this pure and undefiled brand of religion. True it is in the Bible, but the people have become so thoughtful to having their thoughts made for them that possibly they would even doubt it should be found in the Bible. It is plainly up to the white preacher to do some real talk to their congregations concerning the teachings of the Bible along this line. When brought to a test can see really depend upon the preacher to say the plain truth about the teachings of the Bible on the race question? We rather think not. The preacher prefers passages which are not discordant with the sympathies and prejudices of his hearers and that reality of the Bible on the race question? We rather think not. The preacher prefers passages which are not discordant with the sympathies and prejudices of his hearers and that reality of the Bible on the race question? He is not really able to be a martyr. "Love ye one another." The elasticity of this friendly relation has been stretched to such an extent that it has been broken in two distinctive parts. The stronger end is alive and energetic and it preys up in the weak and most terrificly. It's a common occurrence to some of our leading preachers, teachers and business men preaching and trying to impress the man that is not a professional one or in business. "But he with all his influence, wealth, etc., will turn his hand from one of the brothers of the weaker end, when he is in need yet he has extortionally received his wealth from him. Treat your brother as yourself. If you will not help him let him alone. Don't pull him down—Pasture Plaindealer. The far-sighted and enterprising editors have long since realized that their chief work is to anticipate the actual needs of their patrons and meet them, being prepared and spurred by constantly multiplying things day and night. Always on the go, making things go. Their publications are the most far-reaching and the foremost in distributing education and training the people in civic righteousness. Upon them rest a great responsibility, since they must be agents of great good or great harm—Cadis Informer. Filteen Hundred People, Many of Them White Hear Address of Noted Educator. THE RACE IS IMPROVING WHITE MEN IN THE SOUTH SHOULD ENCOURAGE THE NE- GRO TO BECOME AMBITIOUS. Dallas, Tex.—A crowd of 1,500 people, one-fourth of whom were white, heard Washington at the fair grounds. The speaker said in part: "In the last analysis the negro, like any other race of people, will be tested by his usefulness to the community in which he lives. Our greatest protection in any community will be our usefulness. The race that learns to do something better than anybody else does in the thirty years past,ful and conscientious in its work that a community will feel that it cannot dispense with the presence and service of that race, is the one that will succeed anywhere. "I have said before that the average white lady in the south who is a housekeeper will never believe thoroughly in the education of the negro until she can see some of the results of education in her own kitchen and in her own dining room. The average white lady in the south who is a farm will never believe thoroughly in the education of the negro until it can see some of the results of education on his own farm. Our white friends must be patient, however, with us while we are reaching this point. The kind of education that manifests itself in the kitchen, and on the farm in this country is new for the white, but gradually, year by year, we are making progress in these directions. Value of Education. "Our efforts will prove of little value, however, unless the influence of the church and school reaches the most ordinary member of our race. The church and school must help and help the man who uses the pick and shovel, must reach and help the woman who washes, who irons, who cooks. From the very beginning, every negro child should be taught the dignity of labor, should be taught to get rid once and for all-time of the old idea that the educated man and the educated woman should not work with their hands. "The negro must improve year by year as a laborer. The kind of labor which would satisfy on the farm and in the kitchen twenty years ago will improve and improve can be brought about by the training and skill into the most ordinary occa- "A large number of white people, both north and south, have never reached the point where they believe thoroughly in the wisdom of educating the masses of our people. We cannot change their opinion by abusing them in an opposing way. We cannot on patiently day by day, educating the negro youth in a way to let the world see that education makes the individual negro more reliable, more progressive, more conscientious to labor, makes him a larger producer than he was when he was ignorant. The very minute the world becomes convinced that this is the result of education, he will support in a large degree those who are attempting to give us education. WHITE MEN must encourage. "It will pay the white man in the south to encourage the negro to get education. The negro must have its mind awakened, his ambitions aroused, his self-esteem aroused, his incentive, unless his wants are increased. In proportion as the negro has his wants increased, he becomes more reliable as a farmer, as a laborer. I need not refer to the fact that in a city like Dallas the negro man or woman who is most reliable as a laborer is the one who owns one house and wants to add another room to the house, or perhaps wants to build another house; is the negro man or woman who has $100 in the bank and wants to put another $100 in the bank. "On the other hand, the ignorant, shiftless nego-*o*, who has no ambition, who wants nothing except perhaps a chew of tobacco and a dring of whisky, will work only one or two days in the week, until these wants are supplanted by the excess weep in proportion as the negro's wants can be increased through education in the same proportion will he become more helpful to himself and more helpful to his white neighbor as a laborer. Race is improving. "The time is here, and I see many signs of it throughout the south, when in my opinion, the best white people of the south are going to take more part in the education and elevation of the negro. The negro does not ask or desire to trust himself among the white people, and matters; all the whites are拉斯曼保护 of the law that protection makes his life and property rate, which will insure him a fair trial, whenever he or his family are charged with crime. In the courts of the state of Texas, when the negro is brought to trial before the bar of justice, charged with the crime of stealing or the crime of murder, the same law that punishes the white man punishes the negro. Since this is true, the negro should HONORED AT HOME AND ABROAD. Emmet J. Scott, private and confidential secretary of Dr. Booker T. Washington was at his home, San Antonio. The last week. His chief was there to make a tour through the campus. Each were given an anation. Mr. Scott, so the dailies claim, shared a great deal of the honor. It was his home town. There he was educated and was a newspaper man. His success in life has been phenomenal. He has been an indefatigable worker. have the same opportunity in school and Christian institutions to prepare himself to meet the same test before the law that the white youth has. Every time a white man sits upon a jury to try a negro boy for the crime of murder or theft, he should put his hand on the ground. Education: Has this negro had the same chance to know what the law is, he has had the same chance through education to learn how to control his appetite that the white boy has? Many Common Interests. "In a large city like this, the interests of the two races are so closely bound together in certain directions that the interests of one race cannot be separated from the interests of the other." While in some cities there are other races to be separation, in other vital matters the two races live together as one. Disease, for example, draws no color line. Crime draws no color line. By if reason of the negro's filth disease and crime exists in the negro quarter of the city, that same disease will find its way into the body of the best white people in the city." Both whites and negroes shook hands with the famous negro leader at the conclusion of his speech. HUGHES HOME IN NEGRO BELT JUSTICE AND FAMILY ONLY WHITE PERSONS IN CAPITAL BLOCK. Washington—Justice Charles E. Hughes of the United States Supreme court and his family will be the only white persons living in the block when they take possession of Mr. Hughes' new $100,000 home which is to be finished within the next two weeks. The remainder of the persons in the block are negroes. The new house is at Sixteenth and V streets. Shortly after work was started on the Hughes home, which at that time was one of the quietest spots in the capital, all of the property on V street between Sixteenth and V street was to a speculator, who erected two "story" box houses. These houses did not appeal to white people and were offered to negroes. Justice Hughes has made no comment on his new home or on his neighbors. NEGROES HOLD A SUCCESSFUL FAIR. Tuscumbia, Ala.—The colored citizens of Colbert county have planned a most interesting county fair and live stock exhibit, to be held in Tuscumbia. Many of the leading colored farmers of the county are taking an active interest in the project, and the success of the occasion is absolutely assured. It can be said to the credit of Colbert county that many negroes own their lands and a great many prosperous planters are within its borders. They have fine stock, cattle, etc., and use scientific methods in their farm operations, to make unpredictable good barns and above all, many of them have well filled smokehouses and plenty of provender. They stand well with the white people, there is no race friction, and the relations of the two races are refreshingly pleasant. This is shown in the fact that the Colbert County Fair association has tendered the fair grounds, buildings, etc., to the colored association for their exclusive use during the occasion of the coming fair. WHITE LABOR UNION FIGHTS FOR NEGROES. Key West, Fla.—The Carpenter's labor union of this city ordered a strike here several days ago because of the discharge of two colored workmen. The difficulty, on the agreement of both the builders and the labor union, was submitted to a board of arbitration, which decided in favor of the labor union for the most and recommending the re-employment of the colored workmen. As a result of the strike, the white and colored laborers are on much betteg terms in Key West. AT THE SHINDIG. One of our most prominent college professors took unto himself as wife a very charming and highly cultured German lady who is exquisitely particular about all small matters, says Harper's Magazine. Several years ago, just after she had come to live in this country, she was ever on the quilive for new forms of expression. One night the professor came home worn out with the troubles of commencement. As he was dressing to a formal reception he remarked: "I wish we weren't going to this shindig!" "Shindig!" repeated his wife. "What is that?" "It's the sort of thing we're going to tonight," answered her husband. At the close of a very enjoyable evening the professor heard his wife saying, "Oh, Mrs. B. I have so much enjoyed your shindi!" "Seven years ago I landed in this town with only $1, but that dollar gave me my start." "You must have invested it very profitably." "I did. I telegraphed home for money."—Louisville Courier-Journal. "Why did you break your engage ment with that school teacher?" "If I failed to show up at her house every evening, she expected me to bring a written excuse signed by my mother."—New York Evening Mail He has helped to make Tuskegee and the National Negro Business Man league of which he is secretary. His great distinction has been that of a commissioner to Liberia, a place appointed by the president of the United States. White and colored honored Mr. Scott at home and such has been done abroad.

Fayetteville, N. C.—The forty-fourth annual session of the Baptist Educational and Missionary convention of North Carolina, held in this city, was unprecedented in the annals of the convention, when the attendance and the effective scope of the deliberations of the body are considered. Each session of the convention was pregnant with helpful features for the furtherance of educational and missionary activities. The payment of the funds for the organization is greatly accentuated by the wholesome papers by Col. James H. Young of Raleigh and Dr. A. M. Moore, treasurer of the North Carolina Mutual and Provident association of Durham, the greatest negro organization of its kind in the. world. The reports of the officers, especially that of Dr. C. S. Brown, corresponding secretary of this convention, president of a successful institution at Winton, N. C., president of the Loyal Carey Burry Foreign College, and president of a number of movements for the uplift of the race, make excellent literature. "How to Raise Mission Money," by Dr. C. S. Morris, Norfolk, Va., who recently held a revival having over 3,000 converts and making the traffic in liquor among negroes in Norfolk decrease to such an extent that questionable resists thriving upon negro patrons suffered and a number were bankrupt, and another paper fielded in the city. Their Needs," by Dr. W. M. Alexander of Baltimore, Md., were pertinent features of the session. The forthcoming colored ministers' conference under the auspices of the National Religious Training School. Durham, to convene for one week beginning July 6, 1912, all ministers being entertained without cost in the "Bull City," was indorsed by the delegates. To make the ministry effective and become a potent factor in solving the problems of the Afro-American folk made the National Religious Training School the cynosure of the delegates of the convention. The pious opening of the school October 1912 brought in the large dormitories taken and students from Africa and India preparing for missionary work, when made known to hundreds of the delegates caused a heavy apprehension of this great educational movement. FORETURE COMING VETERAN EDITOR TO LOCATE IN WASHINGTON. Washington, T. - Thomas Fortune, the veteran editor, who made the New York Age famous, may located in Washington permanently. He is expected here in a few days and plans to spend the winter, putting on the finishing touches to some special literary work upon which he has been engaged for a long time. He is considering an offer of men of means who believe that Washington is the place for the establishment of a great national negro weekly. They wish to make Mr. Fortune the chairman and build around him the finest staff of writers and business bustlers this section of the country has ever seen, not even excepting the palmy days of Edward Elder Cooper. Mr. Fortune has a host of friends in this city, and already a number of social functions are being arranged for him—National Union. KNEW HE WAS RIGHT. Michael Clancy, who lived in Goldfield, New, had returned to that mining city he after a stay in Sacramento. He was telling his friend F尼尼 about the place and was exasinating particularly on the 'gories of a new hotel building where he had aided construction by carrying the hod. "Tis that big 'ograted Clancy, 'they have a place on the roof where they play golf.'" "Man, you’re crazy?" broke in Finley. "How could you do that? 'Tis some other game you think‘in’aw.' "Well, 'tis this game they play with a hat." "That’s thatnis," even 'almed Finley.' "Beloike you’re right," condescended Clancy. "I niver played it." "Sure I'm right," declared Finley, with a fine air of superior wisdom. "I know’d it couldn’t be golf.' for how the blazes would they get their horses up there?"—Saturday Evening Post. THE TURNING OF THE WORM. "I guess it's true that the worm turned," growled the farmer boy to himself as he wearily twisted the handle of the grindstone round and round. "I've read it in the Third Reader at school, an I've heard it said time an' again. I don't know whether he turned over in bed, or turned some different color, or turned out badly, or how the dingitation he turned, but what I'm here to say is that if the worm turned the grindstone when he didn't have to he was a dum fool! There!" -Success Magazine. "Went to bed at eight o'clock last night." "Why so early?" "My skye came untied and I thought I'd save the trouble of trying it again."-Louisville Courier-Journal. George William Curtis was lecturing on a stage once when suddenly a heavy rope somehow broke loose from its moorings in the flies above and dropped with a tremendous thud to the floor behind the speaker. Mr. Curtis looked round in mild surprise to see what had happened, then, turning to the alarmed audience again, said with a twinkle in his eye: "Ah, that must have been the stare of my discourse!" VERNON IN ARKANSAS FORMER REGISTRAR OF THE UNITED STATES TREASURY SPOKE TO LARGE AUDIENCE AT LITTLE ROCK. Little Rock, Ark.—William Teucumseh Vernon, former registrar of the United States treasury and now supervisor of education in the department of the interior, en route to Oklahoma from a visit of inspection of the work of such schools as Tuskegee and Hampton institute, with a view of comparing the work of these institutions with that of the Indian schools maintained by the government, spoke to a large audience at the First A. Baptist church in Little Rock, Ark. The Little Rock Gazette, in noticing the address, says in part: Vernon, who has long been an educator, having until recently been president of Western university, Quindaro, Kan., is one of the most prominent orators of the negro race, and for a long time entertained his hearers with a recital of progress of the South, counseling them in the meantime to take advantage of every opportunity the south afforded them. The work of such institutions as Tuskegee and Hampton was praised by the speaker, who declared that in a large degree they trained the negro boy for active participation in the life of the *people* here in the South. "The time has come when the negro no longer feels that he must go north to serve his people," he said. "The opportunity is right here for the negro black man and the white man is so interwoven that they are common and they must be worked out on a common basis. The negro has proven his right to stay here by his bravery on a hundred battlefields, by the fact that he has betrayed no trusts in the days gone by and is no worse now than he was then. We must have confidence in our leaders on the one hand, and on the other we must have a leadership that will come to it by being worthy as a result of education, competency, manhood and real worth. There is that in manhood that appeals to manhood, whether in white or black. The boys who loaf on the streets by day and their parents' home by night their lodging places, growing into idleness and criminality, must be stopped. The manhood and morality must be taught that the only thing of worth is character and virtue, whether clad in rags or in silks. TALKS ON TUBERGULOSIS. New York—Drs. E. P. Roberts and Johnson delivered two extremely interesting lectures at St. Mark's last week. Doctor Roberts said the main trouble with colored people is that they don't think enough. He advocated saving money, saying that the colored people can't have good health without saving money. The doctor says as a result, the colored people eat too much pork. Doctor Johnson says that the negro young men are dying rapidly with tuberculosis brought on by irregularity in living. The doctor says negroes have as good lungs as anyone else but their way of living to a great extent destroys their longevity. Both physicians were puzzled to know why so many negroes dislike milk. They advised parents to teach children to eat fruits and vegetables, etc., become an impartial part of diet Condensed milk is good as a food for children. FOOLISH DELAY A company of colored actors was playing "Othello" in Alabama. Everything had gone along nicely until they came to the scene where Dedemona's fidelity is to be tested. Iago has secured her handkerchief by cajolery, with the connivance of Othello himself in her incontinence may be established. Othello—Desdemona, where amd hat handkerchief? (Desdemona remains silent). Othello—Desdemona, once more I ask you where amd hat handkerchief? At this juncture an old negro woman in the front of the house rose foully, "fooligish!" she exclaimed loudly. "Wipe younah nose on younah sleeve and let this play go on!" LINCOLN'S LEGS AND WHISKY. A well-known evangelist one day called on Abraham Lincoln. After a hard day the president was lying stretched out on a couch. In the course of the conversation the evangelist said: "Mr. Lincoln, it has always seemed a remarkable thing to me that, considering the circumstances and conditions under which you were brought up, you never acquired the drinking habit." The president smiled and then, lifting up one of his long legs and slowing it from side to side, said: "Heavens, just think of those things tangled up with whisky!" WHERE THE POET ERRED. Ugardson--You know what the poet says about a woman: "If she will do 't she will, and there's an end on 't." Atom--Yes; but that isn't the end on 't; she keeps on talking--Chicago Tribune. NEGROES OF COLUMBUS ARE ON GOOD BEHAVIOR. Columbus, Ga.—For the first time in many months, there was not a single case tried in which a negro was the principal, every case tried being against white people on various charges. One man was fined 810 and bound over to the state court on a charge of pointing a pistol at a street corner. The judge said for being drunk and disorderly on the streets. --- Frank Robinson Is To Face Jury At Jefferson, iowa WOUNDED DURING A FIGHT Was Captured Near Paton, Iowa, Last Spring After a Running Fight With Poise When Two Men Were Killed. Jefferson, Oct. 27.—On a charge of murdering James W. Busby, Frank Robinson will be put on trial here Monday. Robinson is in a Greene county boy, who is said deliberately to have taken up the life of a desper- ado. The crime for which he is to be tried is—alleged to have been committed Sunday, May 7, at Paton, in the northeast part of Greene county, and he was made prisoner after a desperate fight in which he and Ed Pemble were wounded and Busy and Frank Galaise, a prisoner escaped from the Stillwater, Minn., penitentiary, was killed. It is claimed that early on the morning of May 7, Robinson and Galaise attempted to rob the Paton postoffice, but were detected in the attempt and forced to flee. Sheriff Wilson of Jefferson started in pursuit, but meanwhile a posse was organized. At Dana it divided, Busy and V. C. Hinkle turning north. Stopping a schoolhouse they apprehended the door. The posse wired from the interior, and Busy fell dead. The posse was notified and soon was on the scene. The posse approached the schoolhouse and the sheriff made a demand for the men to surrender. The answer was a furnishal of bullets. The fire was returned. After a half hour of firing one of the men appeared at the door waving a broomstick. It was seen that he was wounded. The sheriff yelled to him to throw away the fire. The posse processed for the wounded man as he crawled out for he had been shot in the leg just below the knee and the bones were shattered. For a time the remaining bandit kept up a continued fire, but he ceased finally and it was found that he had been killed, a rifle bullet passing entirely through his head. The body finally was identified as that of Frank Galalea. LOWERY W. GOCDE SUICIDES Founder of Highland Park and Builder of Belt Line Railroad Takes Own Life in Boston Hotel.
