THE COLORED MAN is True.
From The Lo,ea .state .Rsqister

From Tie 7owa Stale Reglsfer.
In Charlottesville, Indiana, where
Cen Lew Wallace organized companies
to offer their services to the govern
ment, should there be need of them, a
colored man rose up and said that his
people wanted to take part in defend
ing the institutions of the country
against the lawless. They were at
once organized into company. 1t is
a matter of congratulation that among
the lawless crowds in Chicago there
have been no colored rioters. Theriot
ing has been done largely by alien ele-
menus, reinforced by American born
stoughs.' The colored mans love for
his country needs no defense, no com
mendation All over the country he is

We are in receipt Of the Madagascar
News, published at Antananarivo, OF
date Saturday, May IL, 1894. Exon
sui John r.. Waller has kindly sent it
to us 1t is neat paper, printed in
English and full of news of the people
and setting forth the advantages of the
country. A special effort is made to
develop the agricultural resources of
that country, which are magnificent.
Mr.. Waller has been given a large
grant of land by the Malagasy govern
ment. This country has direct steam
communication with other govern
ments which affords a good and ready
market for farm products. The eli
matte advantages are very inviting.
Mr.. Waller was raised in this state,
went to school, studied law in Judge
Hubbard's office in Cedar Rapids and
was admitted to the bar in Linn county
and is a self-made man. He found no
opportunity for the exercise of his
ability in Iowa and therefore emigrated
to Kansas, where he was recognized
according to his merits and rapidly
arose from one position to another,
until he was finally chosen to represent
this country as United States consul
to a foreign country, where he will
probably remain, Colored graduates
are leaving the state very rapidly.
They realize that the only positions
they can expect to fill here are menial
in character. Brains will count for
something in the future.

There Are too many employed in our

of the stability and independence of

TWO PICTURES.

The railway men have entered upon
a strike that is the greatest and in
wolves more men and more interests
than any previous one this year. Men,
women and children have been killed
and injured. The president of the
United States has sent troops into the
city of Chicago without being asked to
do so by the governor and before the
governor even thought it necessary to
call out the state militia at his COM
mand. Government troops have in
vaded this and other states to protect
the property of the greatest corpora
tions in the country. Pullman and the
other magnates are enjoying the season
at the sea shore.
In the south 300 to 10000 men congre-
gate and pursue poor Negroes. The
southern .'colonels'' are armed to the
teeth and allege that some Negro or
"blacl1 brute has assaulted white
woman, murdered a white man, burned
some property or intends to do so.
They capture the first Negro they come
across and burr him at the stake, skin
him alive, hang him or shoot him.
These men sometimes search for a week
or more for some victim upon whom
their mobilize fury may be expended.
Meantime the government at Washing
ton says nothing and apparently has
no knowledge of the action of these
murderers. Notroops aresent in to pro-
tect the LIVES of American citizens.
Life is not worth as much as property.
No word of opposition is heard, no
reward is offered for the capture OF
those who have desecrated American
soil by spilling the blood OF its citizens.
Every thing is quiet and the govern
ment at Washington Still sleeps. The
weak get no protection.
We believe in protecting both prop
erty and life against the fury of mobs.

New Way of Arranging Lace.
Lace is more worn every day. The
new way of arranging it on the Marie
Antoinette waistcoats is very grace
Iul. The waistcoat is composed OF
pale satin or figured shot silk if made
full; but if quite plain, brocade or
moire antique can be used. 1t is either
worn with a belt or made just beyond
the waist line, and always fastens al
the back. Collar and belt are of con.
ored velvet, fastened with the inevit.
able paste buckles. A deep fiounce OF
the new fine guipure lace falls from
the collar band, quite short in front
aud gradually deepening into two
points, which descend on either side
beyond the gilet on to the dress The
short, open jackets or Figaros are
worn with these.
The Popular Chatting Dish.
The chafing dish has grown to be
an essential article in the dining room
outfit. They may be purchased from
half dollar upward and are really a
great comfort, especially to people
living in fat or boarding house.
Some one has said that Chicago is run
ming to flats, aud indeed it looks like
it 1t is so easy to cook with chafing
dish. Oysters cap be stewed, eggs
boiled, fried or yrambled, custards
cooked and all sfrts of gruels made in
a few minutes with this simple. con-
trivance. 1t is clean, quick and does
not give half the trouble any other
cooking apparatus does. And then il

Mitchamite outlaws last August; Later
several of the outlaws were killed, among
them Ley James. Kirk James and Tooch
BedSole. The rest escaped. Among those
VINO escapeit were Babe Burke and Jim
Jordan, two of the most dreaded Of the
band Now Jim Jordan being dead, only
one is left.
The people of Mitchams beat and the
surrounding communities are determined
that the outlaws shall not come back among
them again. Not long ago George Jamcss
house was riddled with bullets. The shoot
ing was done after dark George James
was sick and happened to be sitting in
chair at the time. That was ali that saved
his life. The window shot entire-y out.
The head Of the bed riddled with bull
lets. Who did the shooting is unknown,
but it was supposed to have been some
friends OF the dead outlaws who wanted
revenge on George James for revealing the
murder Of e. McC2rquodale, who was killed
on December a. 1892, by Lev and Kirk
James.
The trouble is not at an end by any
means and friends Of the laWless gang may
spring up at any time. The people on
the lookout and win be ready at a moments
notice should anything Um up. 1t is said
that John White, near relative of Jim
Jordan's induced him to come back and
that jordan said ne had followed the
Burkes for two years and that theV had
ruined him and he did not intend having
any more to do with them. He was con
scious from the time he was shot till his
death, but refused to tell anything
