A prominent western newspaper rec

remedy for whooping cough. 1t may
be good but it is not to be compared
with Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
This preparation will allay the violent
fits of coughing and make them less
frequent and less severe. 1t also lique-
fies the tough mucus, making it easier
to expectorate. Complete recovery is
much quicker, too, when this remedy is
given. There is no danger in giving
it to small children, as it is a pleasant
syrup and contains nothing injurious.

KEOKUK.

The gate city of Iowa, which by
her geographical location seems
sometimes to be ostracised from the
Uawkeye atmosphere. Yet she has
some attractions which is of interest
to the casual tourist or visitor. 1t
is according to ancient tradition the
burial place of keokuk, the great
Indian chief, who once held full
sway of the "Beautiful Land" and
with his sum tanned followers chased
the buffalo and the deer, and danced
to the whoop. A stone monument
marked his resting place in Rand
park. The park is the finest in
Iowa, and one of the prettiest little
parks in the U. S. There they have
several pools of water, 3 artesian
wells, 3 buffaloes, several deer, 2
bear and several other lesser wild
animals, also the ostrich. Then
they have very fine athletic park,
called Hubinger park in course of
building. When completed will be
the finest of the kind in the state.
1t has summer theater, seating
1000 people, two bathing pools
ant plunge. This is all owned by
one man, Mr.. Hubinger, who is a
past millionaire, and very liberal
minded enterprising man; he also
owns the street car and electric Light
plant, and we are informed tina,

Our Next Senator.

Thos. A. Cheshire was born April
?, 1854. His father was one of the
early settlers Of Poweshiek county,
Iowa, coming to that county from
the state of North Carolina in 1853.
His father, John W. Cheshire, en-
tered government land and erected
thereon log cabin. In this pioneer
dwelling Thos. a. Cheshire was
born. During the first ten years of
his life he lived on a farm. Although
his father was southern man, when
the war broke out he enlisted as
private soldier in Co. B. 4otn Iowa,
and went back to combat his kins-
men, and fight for the preservation
of the Union. !
In 1864 John W. Cheshire, was
discharged from the army on &C
count of disability and m oved from
the farm to Montezuma, the county
seat of Poweshiek county. Thos. A.
Cheshire received his education in
the public schools of Montczuma,
and it was afterwards supplemented
by studies at Iowa College and Uni
vcrsity at Iowa City. On account
of i'll health he left the University
and after a short time he concluded
to learn the printing trade in the
office of the Montezuma Republican,
which was owned and edited by his

father. After serving an appren
ticeship of four years, he went to
Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he
took law course in the University
of Michigan, graduating in 1876.
He located in Montezuma aud
opened an office for the practice of
the law, and after being engaged in
the practice for one year his father
died, and it became necessary for
him in connection with younger
brother to take charge of the paper
which he edited for three years. In
1880 he sold his interest in the
paper and again entered the prac-
tlce Of the law in Montezuma, in
which he had much success, until
1886, when he removed to this city,
and opened law office. Since his
residence in this city he has been
actively engaged in the practice.
For five years during the Incumbent
cy of Attorney General Stone, he
argued the criminal appeals in the
supreme coutt of the state. In o.,
he was nominated by reclamation for
Senator for Polk county, and has
served in the 18TH and in the regu-
lar and extra session of the 10th
General Assembly.
He never held but one elective
Office prior to his election as senator,
and that was mayor OF Montezuma,
to which positian he was elected at
the age of 22. At the time he moved
to Des Moihes he was the nominee
of the Republicans of Powesriek
county for county attorney, which
he declined, preferring to come to
this city where he would have a
wider field in which to practice law.
The Senator has proven to the
satisfaction of all that have watched
his course, that he is true friend OF
the colored people. While he has
been in the Senate he has done more
to assist them to positions than any
one before; in fact he is the friend
of the working man, and should re-
ceive the support of the laborine
men.

A thoughtful Charge,

A Thoughtful Charge,
"We frequently find in articles written
by some OF our oolored men, insinuations
and intimations to the effect that colored
papers and colorcd leaders do not speak
out on subjects that concern the race
that these do not voice forth the honest
convictions Of the parties themselves. It
Is offered rs reason for this condition
that these men are afraid OF losing their
job.
ave regard this charge as both unkind
and uncI,aritable. This charge is abso-
lutely void of the principles of christian
ity and is too far from the truth to come
from persons who have any respect for the
truth or the least desire to be just with
their tellowman."
This article we clip from the Vir-
vinia Baptist, because it expresses
our views on this matter. We have
seen men who are continually trying
to blacken the character of some
one. Such narrow contracted men
never did nor never will have any
thing but insinuations; they have no
desire to see any one advance.
Again the writer says:
"Wise men do not change their course
without some good reason for doing so,
The judgment and opinions of the fathers
we do not think it wise to ignore"
Wise men will be sure that they
are right before they assail any one.
If a person is too corrupt for public
good and it is necessary to publish
him is it wise for the writer to then
turn around with this corrup: man
on his arm and ask the colored peo-
pie to follow them. Inconsistency;
thou art jewel" He says, further:
1--WE hate the idea that niea must be
put down as enemies to the race simply
because they chance not to agree with
some new ccmers, rs to the policy of con
Quoting affairs. These critics set them
selves up as the only loyal men in the
race"
The time has come when people
will not believe everything they read
about people they have known all
their lives. The men who try to in
jure others, should be shown back
seat. Watch the man that will try
to stab an honest member of the
race. He will do the same to you.
Beware of such men. Saying, fur.
Their:
1--WE trust that our labors are directed
to this end. If this be wrong course fol
us to pursue then we must plead guilty.
