Fort Dodge, Oct. ga. Simmer,
of Waverly mas just made the city
of Fort Dodge an offer to donate
$4,000 for the erection of a city hos
pital. The only conditions attending
the gift are that the city shall fur
nish another $4,000 to be devoted to
the purpose of Il permanent fund to
the hospital and that the hospital
service shall be free to persons of all
colors and creeds.
Mr.. Simmer is man of advanced

coming well known as a phi f.nthro-
pist. In 1898 he made n sir9lar gift
to the Finley hospital of Dubuque,
which was accepted and has resulted
in the erection of a handsome new
building in that city.
The improvement is much needed
in Fort Dodge, as the hospital accom-
odations are wholly inadequate Mr.
SINNERS offer was entirely unex-
pected, as he had received no solici-
tation save from private sources.
The state convention of the Ep-
worth League elected officers as fol-
lows: President, Fred L. Montgom-

RADICAL ADVICE TO ROBERTS.

London, Oct. 29.-With the excep-
tion of the unexpected activity of the
Beers and the temperance before
the public of a statesman supposed
to be politically dead, nothing has
occurred this week in England capa-
BILE of disturbing the enthusiasm over
home coming Cf the city imperial vol
unteers. The news of the guerrilla
successes in South Africa which has
been received in the last few days,
has prompted some of the more seri-
Gus publications to sound notes of
alarm. The Saturday Review begs
Lord Roberts to take ga lesson from
one who was greater soldier than
he, namely, Caesar, and ruthlessly
suppress the re bellion." "The truest
mercy in the present case says the
Globe, sis to be merciless.
That fairly voices the average opin-
ion of the government organs, while
"a few out-and-out radical organs
scarcely conceal their satisfaction
arising from their ability to say .I
told you so" in reference to the war
being long drawn out ar1 enduring
racial hatred that time will not dis

NO MENACE is INVOLVED.


Washington, Oct. 25.--In view of
the widespread comment that the
Anglo-German alliance campaign in
China was open to the possible con-
struction of an implied or indirect
menace or threat against some other
ton, the attention of Count de Quadt,
the German charge d'affaires, was
called to this point. Count de Quadt
| said that he was able to give cate
gorical and very positive statement,
on the highest authority, that the
agreement involved no menace what
ever to any power concerned in China.
| He said this applied to all the parties
| which had taken a hand in Chimes,
affairs. Count de Quadt stated with
| equal positiveness that there was no
foundation for reports of further or
| additional features to the' agreement
| beyond those transmitted to the var.
ious governments and made public.
| He said that document covered the
entire transaction. The response of
the United States to the Anglo-Ger
man agreement is still held in abey-
ance.
A dispatch from Picking says: "a
preliminary convention between China
and the combined powers has been
proposed by Prince Ching and Ii
Hung Chang. 1t is as follows:
article /. l. ylng siege to the le-
cations of foreign ministers is high
offense against international law. No
country can possibly tolerate such a
thing. China acknowledges her great
fault in this respect and promises
that it will never occur again.
art. 2. China admits her liability
to pay an indemnity for the various
losses sustained on this occasion, and
the powers will each appoint Off
Gals to examine and present all
claims for a final consultation and
settlement.
art. 3. AS to future trade and
general international relations, each
power should designate how the mat.
ters are to be dealt with, whether the
old treaties should continue or new
conventions should be made, slightly
modifying the old treaties, or cancel
ing the old treaties and negotiating
new ones. Either of these plans may
be adopted and WREN China has ap'
pio'Su lhOii SpCSldl
tions can be made in each case as
required.
art. 4. This convention will be
made with China with the combined
powers to cover the general princi-
pies, which apply alike to all. This
settlement reached, the foreign minis
tiers will remove the seals they caus
ed to be placed in various parts of
the tsung-li-yamen and attend to bust.
ness as usual. And further, each
power should arrange it's own special
affairs with China, so that separate
treaties may be settled in due order.
When the various items of indemnity
are all arranged properly, or an un
Outstanding has been reached about
them, the powers will successfully
withdraw their troops.
art. 5. The troops sent to China
by the powers are for the protection
of the ministers and no other pur-
pose, so when the negotiations begin
for treaties of peace each power
should first declare an armistice."

to ride with the farmer, one took his
seat at the side, while the other stood
behind the two men. Both men were

road they signified their intention of
going the other direction and left the

A dealer in spices declares that the
consumer can now buy pound of
what purpOrts to be pepper, ground,
packed in a tin box and labeled
cheaper than the wholesaler can buy
pure unground pepper by the ton. The
dealer who undertakes to sell really
pure pepper must therefore charge a
price for his goods which seems high
when compared with the prices of his
competitors, and thus adulteration be-
comes the general practice. 1t is AM
outrage on the consumer, yet it is the
consumers continual demand for
cheapness that is largely to blame. The
honest dealer and the customer who is
willing to pay fair price for pure
goods will have no redress until public

way adulterated and the punishment Of
