The Busy Bee restaurant will soon be doing business again, at their location on S. Ninth street. When Mr. R. T. Lain was burned out the 28th of last October, it left him with a number of boarders and roomers, but no restaurant to do business in. The boarders have been taken care of in his residence on Grant street, just across the block from their restaurant. Mr. Lain meanwhile started to rebuild, and has his new building nearly completed, on the site of the building which was destroyed by fire. The new building is larger than the old one, which will permit of carrying a stock of groceries on the first floor, besides serving lunches and short orders at the counter in front, and tables for the regular boarders in the rear. A cement floor is being laid in the front of the building. A cellar in the rear will hold the steam heating plant, which Mr. Lain intends to use for heating purposes. There will be a number of bedrooms upstairs for the roomers, besides a ladies' waiting room upstairs. It is Mr. Lain's purpose to build on the rear of the building now being erected, making that part of the building his kitchen, and bathroom, besides a refreshment room where people may come and get soft drinks in the summer time. Mr. Lain is one of our Clarinda colored men who deserves much credit for the enterprise he has shown in helping to build up the town. How To Prevent Croup.

ST Nee eee The Busy Bee restaurant will soon be doing business again, at their lo- cation on S. Ninth street. When Mr. R. T. Lain was burned out the 28th of last October, it left him with a number of boarders and roomers, but no restaurant to do business in. ‘The boarders have been taken care of in his residence on Grant street, just across the block from their restaurant. Mr. Lain meanwhile started to re- build, and has his new building nearly completed, on the site of the building which was destroyed by fire. The new building is larger than the old one, which will permit of carrying a stock of groceries on the first floor, besides jserving lunches and short orders at the counter in front, and tables for the regular boarders in the rear. A ce- ment floor is being laid in the front of the building. A cellar in the rear will hold the steam heating plant, which Mr. Lain intends to use for heating purposes. There will be a number of bedrooms upstairs for the roomers, besides a ladies’ waiting room up- stairs, It is Mr. Lain’s purpose to build on the rear of the building now being erected, making that part of the building his kitehen, and bathroom, besides a refreshment room where people may come and get soft drinks in the summer time. Mr. Lain is one of our Clarinda colored men who de- serves much credit for the enterprise he has shown in helping to build up the town, How To Frevent Croup.

Our attention has been called sev- Ajuacat sosva yioq Aq sawy [v9 about the unbecoming rowdyism and a disgraceful sight to see some of the little colored boys out upon the public streets singing and dancing for the little money that the public might give them, There are three or four little boys from the ages of 6 to 12 who go down town and get in front of the business houses and sing and dance for money. They are drawing large crowds. The better class of col- ored people should see that this is stopped. This shameful sight humili- ating the Negro race by our own peo- ple may go on in the extreme south, but for God sake stop it up north. Parents, send your children to school, teach them loftier and higher ideals than to be a monkey for everybody. We must first respect ourselves. Mothers, don’t allow your boys to be- come monkeys or niggers for a few pennies. Mothers, have respect for the honor and dignity of your race. Some of our true white business men won't allow those boys to come before their stores and make fools of them- selves. Stop those children and stop it at once. NEW CONGRESS TO MEET. Next Monday the American con- gress is called to meet in extraordi- nary session ostensibly to declare war on Germany or that a state of war exists. The Bystander is still of the opinion we should not declare war on any country that is not bothering us. Of course if we put our gun on our shoulder and then go out upon the ocean 3,000 miles away looking for game we of any other country is liable to find some game. Our congress not be so eager to have us to Ko to war as the president is. We all yea- lize by now that the president “has been trying to help the allies in every move that he makes, so don't be swayed by what he may say or do, for in the hands of the American congress is the only power that can declare war, So go slow, act wisely, for war in this age will be a great destruction and a great calamity to any nation.

An accurate report of all contribu- tions will be made at the Federation and all clubs contributing enrolled in the list, which is to be placed in the State Historical museum along with the portrait, and a fac-simile copy of the portrait presented to the president reporting the largest amount for this fund.

WANT RIGHTS PROTECTED Richmond, Va.—The Louisvuite (Ky. ) segregation ordinance will be reargued before the supreme court at Washing: ton this month, March. Due to the fact that Louisville copied the Rich: mond (Va.) ordinance, the city attor: ney here, the Hon, H.R, Pollard, has tiled a brief, as amicus curiae, com mending segregation, and in addition has offered as exhibits in evidence photographs of Negro churches, resi: dences and business places to prove that segregation has been beneficial to the Negro’s progress. ‘The colored people of Richmond were amazed when they learned of the city attorney's attitude.

Real Purpose of Segregation Laws. ‘The averaze southerner pretends that the reason the southern whites restrict Negroes to certain areas in their com- mumuities is because the Negroes are shiftless and keop their premises in in- sanitary condition. ‘They claim the Negrves do not improve but destroy the homes they occupy. In other words, they picture the Negroes as de- stroyers and not makers of values. ‘Their actions show that the real cause ot segtexzation is to prevent the Ne- groes from making and showing real progress. ‘The Mechanics’ Saving bank, owned by colored people, occupied a substan. tial but inadequate building on ‘Third street, hetween Clay and Leigh streets, On the northwest corner of Third and Clay streets stood an old brick resi dence deserted by the whites. The bank bought this and the adjoining ‘building. After breaking down a de- ‘termined opposition on part of some of ‘the whites the bank secured a permit and put up a handsome four story brick building and remodeled the old building adjoining it on the west at a cost between $25,000 and $30,000, This improvement would be considered a credit to any community where pluck and enterprise are nppreciated, but not 0 here, as will be shown, Thrift, Among Colored People Noted.

No white bidder, so we were informed, had offered more than $6,000. The colored people paid $11,500 for it, Other properties In this and other neighborhoods adjoining the cot ored section had heen purchased by colored people, This was done to pro. vide for the natural increase of the colored population ‘The whites sceminzly did not relish these evidences of the Negro's prog: toss, so they Invoked a new kind of hindrance to the Negro’s advancement —the Infamous segregation law. The HAPPENINGS TWENTY YEARS AGO (As Chronicled by The Bystander, March 26, 1897.) Remember the Douglass Portrait concert to be given at the Tabernacle next month. ‘Mrs, Ed, Good arrived in our city this week to visit friends and her hus- band, who is working in the legisla- ture. We learn that Miss Delia Richard- son, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richardson, of Clive, has been sick the past week. Miss Blanche Winnifred Renix, be- ing ill, was unable to attend the mar- riage of her brother, James Ward, to Miss Alice Knox of Oskaloosa. Mr, Bell, of Stuart, Iowa, father of A. L. Bell, is a visitor to the Capital City this week, Mr. Bell is one of the energetic colored farmers of his county. Mr, Geo, Stovall, a capitol employe, spent a few days visiting his family in Waterloo, Iowa, returning last Satur- day. He brought his little 5 year old daughter with him to visit awhile. Edward Morton, son of N. E. Mor- ton, has been employed as elevator boy at the Moershell, Duffy & Forth- eringham store. He has a good place and is punctual and attends strictly to business. We wish him success. ‘About twenty young people met and About twenty yuong people met and surprised the Renix brothers at their residence, 1010 Center street, Satur- day evening. The evening was spent in music, games and social converse. After refreshments they left at a late hour, feeling they had been royally entertained. ‘The King’s Daughters will meet at the home of Miss Susie Mash, 104 South First street, Wednesday, March 31. The following program will be rendered: Recitation, Miss V. Jack- son; select reading, Miss Mash; duet, Misses Taylor and Jackson. Miss Me- Knight, president; Miss Jackson, sec- retary. ‘The Fred Douglass portrait commit- tee will give a concert at the taber- nacle on April 8th. Great prepara. tions are being made and the concert will be a rare musical treat. The col ored people of Des Moines have 2 state-wide reputation for their musi- cal yenius, and all their leading artist will participate in the event. The pro: ceeds of the entertainment will be used to purchase a fine oil painting of the Rev. Fred Douglass. The portrait colored people fought it from its Intro- duction In the council to the state court of appeals, and, although they were defeated ail along the line, they have never ceased their opposition to it, nor have they ever seen anything beneficial to their interests iu the en- forcing of Its provisions, Baneful Effect of Race Prejudice. A Jew or Greek will open a shop in the culored section. After a few weeks his family will be moved over his store, and nothing is done about it. But if a Negro moves in his own house, should it be located around the corner from the Negro quarter and the whites are in the majority in that block, be will be fined and forced to move out of his own house. Is it reasonable to think that the colored people could commend such a law? ‘The Negroes of Richmond feel, like members of the race everywhere else, that the segregation laws are the greatest foes that the race bas bad to contend against since the infamous Dred Scott decision of antebellum days. The segregation laws destroy property rights, encourage race hatred, force colored people to live in the un- healthy and overcrowded parts of a community, with no provisions for tm- proving these conditions, set up @ bar to their self advancement and thereby stultify their growth as a race. Living in these overcrowded, unhealthy and unnatural conditions will certainly pro- duce and increase crime, vice and im- morality and is the basis for the appar. ent high death rate of the Negroes of this city.

COLORED PYTHIANS.. The first lodge was organized here last night, Geo. E. Taylor, grand chanéellor of Iowa, assisted in the in- stallation, There are fourteen mem- bers of the new lodge. ‘Through general solicitation, St. Paul’s A. M. E, church choir gave a special song concert at the Y. M. C. A. auditorium, which eclipsed all former efforts. The fame of this choir is not confined to our state, but is well known, and perhaps the best church choir in the middle west. Owing to the blowing ‘wind and snow storm which was raging all day, yet a goodly number was present. The choir is composed of Mesdames Wm. Coalson, contralto, (also organist); W. H. Birney, J. H. Shepard and J. F. Blagburn, sopranos; Mr. J. E. Mose- ley, first bass; Dr. E. F. Johnson, see- ond bass; Mr. Douglass Miller, tenor. Being a sacred concert, it was opened with prayer by Rev. A. L. Frisbie of the Congregational church, after which the choir sang “Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem,” then “Calm on the Listening Ear of Night.” The bass solo by J. E. Moseley, entitled “Palm Branches,” was heartily _ap- plauded. The duet by Mesdames Bir- ney and Coalson was so beautiful that the house at certain times was held spellbound. It was the best of the evening. The soprano solo sung by Mrs. J. F. Blagburn, entitled “The Everlasting Hills,” was well rendered in her sweet cultured voice, and she received applause. She was a student at Wilberforce university, Ohio. And when the choir sang “Wake the Song of Jubilee,” the audience could not hold their appreciation any longer, but encored them to the echo. Then Mrs. Wm. Coalson, the star contralto of the west, sang “Pity, O Saviour,” receiv- ing ‘applaudits and new enconiums. “Glory to the Lord in the Highest,” by the choir, was well rendered Then Mrs, Mae Ruff-Johnson, a graduate of Highland Park college, sang a soprano solo, entitled “Glory To My God This Night,” which pleased the audience so well that she received an encore. She possesses a highly cultivated voice. The choir is making great progress under Prof. J. E. Mosely, as director. For Diseases of the Skin. Nearly all diseases of the skin, such as‘eczema, tetter, salt rneum and bar- bers’ itch, are characterized by an in- tense itching and smarting, which often makes life a burden and dis- turbs sleep and rest. Quick relief may be had by applying Chamberlain's Salve. It allays the itching and smarting almost instantly. Many cases have been cured by its use. For sale by all dealers.

Next came little Dorothy Strawthers in a white frock, carrying the ring in a lily, followed by little Virginia Jones, flower girl, attired in a white frock, strewing rose petals along the path. Next came the groom, bested man and Mr. John Gassaway of St. Joseph, Mo., as attendant.

Lastly came the bride upon the arm of her father. Her dress was white net over white satin and her wedding veil of tulle was arranged cap fashion. She carried a shower bouquet of bride's roses. Her only ornament was a pearl necklace, gift of the groom. The impressive ring service was performed by Rev. S. L. Birt. After congratulations the guests repaired to the dining room, where a two-course luncheon was served. The bride's table was beautiful, with the large wedding cake as centerpiece. White satin ribbons were stretched from the four candelabras, placed at each corner of the table to the ceiling. The dining room was in charge of Mrs. Anna Tomlin, Miss Hayes and Miss Aileen Woods. Mrs. Cleveland of St. Joseph was an out of town guest. Thebridal couple left the city amid a shower of rice for Minneapolis. They will be at home after April 15th at Chippewa Falls, Wis.

There are a great many people who run about with voices of maximum volume which are controlled by brains, if any, of the smallest quantity. The first and greatest protection which can be shown a people is to insure them a means of livelihood and a protection of whatever they may be fortunate enough to acquire, as a mark of thrift and prudence. Property cannot be created over night, but babies are born every day. Consequently there is more importance attached to preserving property than to protect life. The cheapest thing in the not be created over night, but babies are born every day. Consequently there is more importance attached to preserving property than to protect life. The cheapest thing in the world is life. Abraham Lincoln was more interested in saving mules than he was in the officers. He could create officers, but mules cost money. The first thing any person living in this country, regardless of how imposed upon they feel, would do if their house were robbed, or someone set the place on fire is to call the police. Something is always done in these cases. It is not a matter of religion, race nor of prayer, but it is call the police. The first thing an industrious man does is to get a job in order to buy bread, and usually he buys the bread from the same race type from whom he gets the money. After he gets more money than he can spend for bread and clothes he gets some ground either with a house on it or he builds one. The span of life is three score and ten years, but a man's house and lot are his and his heirs forever. His neighbors may make it unpleasant for him, but it is his forever. They may destroy his life, but the title stands. Millions of people go to bed every night feeling secure of the protection of life and property and their faith is well founded. Property owners usually are a more conservative set of people than those who have a monopoly on hot air and have nothing to protect nor feel uneasy about. When people get to thinking and can distinguish between noise and nonsense and reason and facts they will begin to take stock in their well-being, and security which is based upon conservatism and thought, rather than noise and braying of bipeds who are misnamed. No man can defend discrimination not to give people a justification for keeping up devilish practices. At this time most people are concerned with the outcome of this nation so far as the war is concerned. You will not make a hit with any red-blooded citizen of this country by telling him this is not your country and you will not fight for it that you have grievances. There are very few people who are entirely satisfied, either here or abroad. Things are going to warm up about these parts and the best thing to do is to beat it for the place you will fight for. In family affairs the outsiders get the worst of it, and there might come a time when those who will not work cannot eat. This is a grand and glorious country; opportunities are here such as one will find in no other country on the globe. In Iowa we are blessed. There are privileges all out of proportion to payments. The free school system is fity capped by a free state university; men are given opportunity to do public work as an encouragement to all of us. The state furnishes hospitals for children who are deformed, the tuberculosis sanitarium takes care of unfortunates; the local charities help without discrimination, getting very little from us. Our battles are fought in the press every week at least, ministers of the gospel are telling people about us and helping to make things better. If these things do not warrant the feeling of protection and make a fellow feel that he is willing to share the hazards of the commonwealth, in the name of lal the gods at once, what will stir gratitude and patriotism? If your tongue is hung on a swivel and you have no thought, then at least accept the chance of being mistaken for being wise by keeping your mouth shut and not embarrassing those who have a conception of public duty. There are a great many people whom the audience might think were sensible if they had sense to be quiet. To speak right out in meeting does not of itself show courage or wisdom; of course if a man wants to create sympathy for his lack of reason he may get by provided the listener is a pacifist. The people who do not claim this country as theirs are usually the ones who would not know where to go if they had a ticket and a basket given them.

There are a great many people who run about with voices of maximum volume which are controlled by brains, if any, of the smallest quantity. The first and greatest protection which can be shown a people is to insure them a means of livelihood and a protection of whatever they may be fortunate enough to acquire, as a mark of thrift and prudence. Property cannot be created over night, but babies are born every day. Consequently there is more importance attached to preserving property than to protect life. The cheapest thing in the not be created over night, but babies are born every day. Consequently there is more importance attached to preserving property than to protect life. The cheapest thing in the world is life. Abraham Lincoln was more interested in saving mules than he was in the officers. He could create officers, but mules cost money. The first thing any person living in this country, regardless of how imposed upon they feel, would do if their house were robbed, or someone set the place on fire is to call the police. Something is always done in these cases. It is not a matter of religion, race nor of prayer, but it is call the police. The first thing an industrious man does is to get a job in order to buy bread, and usually he buys the bread from the same race type from whom he gets the money. After he gets more money than he can spend for bread and clothes he gets some ground either with a house on it or he builds one. The span of life is three score and ten years, but a man's house and lot are his and his heirs forever. His neighbors may make it unpleasant for him, but it is his forever. They may destroy his life, but the title stands. Millions of people go to bed every night feeling secure of the protection of life and property and their faith is well founded. Property owners usually are a more conservative set of people than those who have a monopoly on hot air and have nothing to protect nor feel uneasy about. When people get to thinking and can distinguish between noise and nonsense and reason and facts they will begin to take stock in their wellbeing, and security which is based upon conservatism and thought, rather than noise and braying of bipeds who are misnamed. No man can defend discrimination not to give people a justification for keeping up devilish practices. At this time most people are concerned with the outcome of this nation so far as the war is concerned. You will not make a hit with any red-blooded citizen of this country by telling him this is not your country and you will not fight for it that you have grievances. There are very few people who are entirely satisfied, either here or abroad. Things are going to warm up about these parts and the best thing to do is to beat it for the place you will fight for. In family affairs the outsiders get the worst of it, and there might come a time when those who will not work cannot eat. This is a grand and glorious country; opportunities are here such as one will find in no other country on the globe. In Iowa we are blessed. There are privileges all out of proportion to payments. The free school system is fity capped by a free state university; men are given opportunity to do public work as an encouragement to all of us. The state furnishes hospitals for children who are deformed, the tuberculosis sanitarium takes care of unfortunates; the local charities help without discrimination, getting very little from us. Our battles are fought in the press every week at least, ministers of the gospel are telling people about us and helping to make things better. If these things do not warrant the feeling of protection and make a fellow feel that he is willing to share the hazards of the commonwealth, in the name of lal the gods at once, what will stir gratitude and patriotism? If your tongue is hung on a swivel and you have no thought, then at least accept the chance of being mistaken for being wise by keeping your mouth shut and not embarrassing those who have a conception of public duty. There are a great many people whom the audience might think were sensible if they had sense to be quiet. To speak right out in meeting does not of itself show courage or wisdom; of course if a man wants to create sympathy for his lack of reason he may get by provided the listener is a pacifist. The people who do not claim this country as theirs are usually the ones who would not know where to go if they had a ticket and a basket given them.
