(This Week's News.) Quite a shadow of gloom swept over the city Thursday afternoon about 2 o'clock, when the death of Mrs. Sarah Price occurred at her home in the west part of town. Mrs. Price was a Daughter of Tabor, having been a member of Golden Rule Tabernacle for the past five years, and the friends as well as the daughters mourn her sad demise. We know God giveth and God taketh away. The funeral was held from the Second Baptist church, conducted by the order. Rev. Sir M. Carrington preached a beautiful sermon, one that compared with her life in every way. It was a sad scene to look at seeing the hearse bearing the remains of Daughter Price and the sir knights and daughters in their full dress, showing how they mourned for their loved and deceased daughter. She left to mourn her death her husband and six stepchildren, all present but one. Daughter Price was only sick about two days when God relieved her of her pain. Sunday was a beautiful day and services were well attended. The rally was quite a success and the social given Friday evening by the Mission Circle was a success. Rev. Carrington, Sir E. Martin and Sir M. J. Thompkins left this a. m. for the association, which is held with the Cedar Rapids Baptist church. They are the delegates for the circle and church. Miss Vina Harris is much improved at this writing. Mrs. Bessie Jones of Minneapolis, Minn., left for her home Friday night, after spending a week with her mother, Mrs. Lizzie Taylor. Miss Christina Crittenden is visiting her cousin, Mrs. Angeline Walker, and Mrs. Chas. Story in Liberty, Mo., for two weeks. church in our city. Rev. Moss is a young man of experience and comes highly recommended. He will take hold of the work in Iowa and push it in the middle west. He says that their denomination is but little known up here, yet he hopes to soon have churches established all over Iowa. His address is 518 S. E. Second street. There was quite a crowd up to town Friday morning, taking the last look for a while on our Co. D boys, who left for Des Moines. Miss Hazel Jeter and brother, Harry, Jr., left Saturday afternoon for a few days' visit with their grandmother, Mrs. Susan Stewart, of Oskaloosa, Iowa. Mrs. E. F. Brown of Mystic was in town today shopping and attending to business. Quite a number attended the funeral of Mrs. Price from Mystic on Sunday. Mrs. Dorothy Mash and Mrs. Bessle Grant and children, who were called here by their stepmother's death, Mrs. Price, are visiting a few days with their sister, Miss Marie Price. The Masons Jubilee Singers made their appearance on the stage at the Chautauqua on Tuesday afternoon and rendered a most pleasing program to a large crowd. Quite a number of our colored people were out to hear these wonderful colored singers. The Clio club will give a musical on Saturday night. Mrs. Anna Gooding, chairman, came out and heldGaau chairman. Come out and hear some good music from our home talent. (Last Week's News.) The social given Saturday night was a success. Sunday was a very pleasant day and services were well attended. Everybody busy trying to get things ready for the association. The B. Y. P. U. rendered one of the best programs that has been rendered for some time. They have purchased a beautiful piano for the church and it was used for the first time with the program. Bro. Phillip Jeter of the program committee was given the credit for this most wonderful program. There were solos, recitations, panors and addresses and select readings. All were excellent. The president of the B. Y. P. U., Bro. J. W. Martin, and also his topic instructor, Bro. S. H. Jones, is to commended highly for their excellent work. Everything is moving along nicely and our pastor is well pleased with the work. The Knights and Daughters of Tabor celebrated the 11th of August for their annual picnic and it was largely attended and the beautiful lawn of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Saunders was a real scene with so many knights and daughters and maids and pages of honor and the visiting friends. They left about 9:30 for their many homes, headed by the C. C. famous band, which furnished music for the day. We are proud of our band boys and much credit is due them. EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS. After a silence of more than two months, we have again resumed our collecting trip, consequently our observations. On leaving the present capitol of our state for the city which was at one time the capitol of Iowa and where the first state capitol was built, namely, Iowa City, the county seat of Johnson county, where is located the great state university of Iowa, with her many new, modern, magnificent buildings, which is the college home of more than 2,000 young men and women, and among those 2,000 students are thirty-five colored students, the largest number that the university ever had at one time. In fact the largest number in any of Iowa's three universities or her twenty colleges at one time, and I was informed that those students' conduct was good and they made a good record for their race and the university. The sooner that our young boys and girls realize that they must act well their part in the drama of human life and respect themselves, then and then only will the dormant race admire and respect us. Here lives about twelve families and all of them are doing well and most of them are owning or buying their own homes. Mrs. H. R. Moore is a substantial and highly respected widow lady, who has a hairdressing parlor on E. College avenue. Her only living child, Miss Daisy, recently married a Mr. Miller. Mr. Hal Short, a graduate from the university, is in training camp at Ft. Des Moines. His wife is here. J. W. Thompson, also a student, is still supervising one of the large fraternity frats.

His church is a live, active force in this city for good, and the A. M. E., presided over by Rev. Waters, a new man to this conference. His church members speak well of him and everything seems to be moving along nicely. Their secret societies are all doing well, namely the Masonic, the U. B. F. and the I. O. F. cach, with their ladies' auxiliaries are making progress. They have one physician, Dr. R. S. Taylor, who is a graduate from Creighton college in Omaha, Neb., and settled here a few years ago. He is doing nicely and has a good practice in the tri-cities. His amiable wife is a great helmate for him. Lucern Brown, formerly of Des Moines, where he graduated from a course in embalming from Des Moines has located here in the undertaking business. We hope for him success as Lucern is a deserving young man and all the colored people of the tri-cities should patronize him. Mr. Ezr Green, 114 E. Fifth street, has the only restaurant. He has a good trade. He also owns a pool hall and rooming house. He and his amiable wife are fine people to meet. See their advice elsewhere. Mr. B. N.

They served supper to You Editor while there. Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Shepard are doing well. Mr. C. F. Wright, brother of the Hon. H. E. Wright of Des Moines, is practicing his profession here.

To feel your best, day in and day out, to feel clean inside, no sore bile to coat your tongue and sicken your breath or dull your head; no constipation, billious attacks, sick headache, colds, rheumatism, and other illnesses you must handle the inside like you outause. This is vastly more important, because the skin pores do not absorb impurities into the blood, while the bowel pores do. You must handle the inside like you outause. To keep these poisons and toxins well flushed from the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, drink, before breastfeeding, before putting on a diaper, before kidding on a kidnec tablet, then take it before dinner and supper with a glass of cold water. This will cleanse, purify and freshen the entire elementary tract before putting on a diaper, before kidding on a kidnec tablets for a quarter from your druggist.
