Sierra Leone and her human cargo set free to become citizens of Eng lands black colony. For the first few years the additions made to the pop ulation in this way were but few, and while the colony numbered 400 blacks at the time it was founded, there were but 500 people there in 1907. But Eng land redoubled her efforts at the sup pression of the slave trade and the colony grew more rapidly, so that by the time the century was half over the population numbered more than 25,ooo people, all of whom were blacks. During the past 50 years this has been increased until to-day the people num- Der more than 75,O0O, of whom all but about 300 are blacks.
 Sierra Leone lies just north of Li- beria, the little independent. African nation in which America is interested, and just west of the French Soudan. In extent it is one of the smallest of England's many African colonies and covers an area of but some 4,0O0 square miles.
 The capitol of the colony, Freetown, is a promising African city of some 3o,ooo people, and is the chief seaport on the West African coast. Though it's population is almost exclusively African blacks, it is progressive place, with substantial buildings in the business center, well-kept streets, churches of practically all denomina- tions, college of some importance that is affiliated with the University of Durham and police system that rivals many of the smaller cities of Europe. It is the English military headquarters for West African col onies, and a considerable military force is maintained there at all times
 There are over 20 public schools in the little colony with an average at tendance of close to 1000 pupils. The only railroad in the colony extends from Freetown to point some 60 miles in the interior, and is being ex- tended further into the interior. The people are industrious and saving, the savings deposits in the government banks amounting to more than $20O,- GOO in 1898. Wilham Harvey Brown says of this interesting English col ony:
 ''Many different tribes of natives, having, all sorts of savage customs and super stitions, were thrust upon this unique col ulousIy in endeavortng to establish habits of industry among them, and have succeed cd fairly well. In religions, most Protest ant denominations, Catholics, and Moham-

 liam Ernest of Saxe-Weimer, Germany. He is of special interest because of the fact that it was reported at one time that he had been selected by Queen Wilhelmina of Holland as her consort. He but succeeded to the title of grand duke recently. He is the eldest son of the late hereditary Grand Duke Charles August, who died in 1894, and is now in his twenty-fifth year.
 Princess Beatrice, the prospective bride, is the youngest daughter of the late duke of SaXe-Coburg, second son of Queen Victoria, and was born April 20, 1884. Of her three sisters one is the grand duchess of Hesse, another the crown princess of Roumania, and the third the hereditary princess of Hohenlohe-Langenburg. Princess Be- atrice is highly accomplished young woman, with not an overly pretty face, but with charming ways, and is general favorite in English court cir cles.
 The marriage, if it takes place, will further extend English influence in Eu- 1a4ae sso far as interrrai.riag of the English royal family with the mobility apd royalty of other nations can do so. The prospective groom in this case is grandson of the late Princess Sophia of the Netherlands, and is next heir to the throne of Holland. He is prac- tically the last scion of his house, as his uncle, Prince Edward, cannot suc- ceed to the title because of his mor- ganatic marriage with Lady Augusta Lennox. He is immensely wealthy, in- heriting much of his fortune from his grandmother, the late Princess Sophia, and is liberal patron of German arts aid literature.

Mabel johnson by means of a phono-

pleted for the wedding and the groom
arrived to find his fiance had been
stricken with scarlet fever and was
under quarantine. Though the attack
was slight the quaran tine was strict,
but they determined to go through
with the ceremony. The bride con-
ceived the idea of resorting to a
photograph. An instrument was pro-
cured into which the minister pro-
pounded the questions. 1t was con
veyed to the house and the answers
of the bride recorded, then after it
was fumigated the groom made his
reply and the ceremony was ended
by the minister filing a marriage

ITS "MUM" TIME.
The Fall Flowers Are Blooming in All
Their BeautI.

Chrysanthemums are ripe and
there is no better place in the country
to see a fine show of the favorite fall
flower than right here in Oskaloosa.
The Kemble green house have the
largest crop Of the flowers that they
have ever raised and the show is we'll
worth ones time in trip to the
green houses east of the city.
One large house Is completely filed
with the hand some blossoms and in
addition parts of several of the other
houses are we'll stocked with the
flowers. The flowers in some cases
are of enormous size. It's no exag-
geration to state that the diameter
ofsome OF the flowers with the petales
extended would be eight to ten inches.
The color is purest white, delicate
pink, deep golden yellow, a rich
cream or deep rich red.
The show Is now to be seen in all
OF it's glory and will last number of
weeks. The chrysanthemum is a
lasting flower and its glory is slow to
fade. No wonder they are favorites
with some people.

ILLICIT LOVE.
Serious Charge Lodged Against a Way
ward Couple

L. J. Zenor, OF Sioux City, caused
the arrest in this city Saturday even
ing of one ] A. Baker, of Ames. The
crime charged in the Information is
lewdness. The disposition of the
case has not yet been determined
The defendent was arrested about
midmi ght in a private residence in
the city in company with Mrs Zenor
after having retired.
The woman, it is alleged, left Mr.
ZenOr in August, taking their three
year old daughter. The husband was
unabl lie to locate the wife for time
aud the assistance of a detective was
employed. One clew led to another
until it was developed that the couple
were in this clty Tn Oskaloosa
police were in communication with
the elective and located the couple
Saturday evening when Mr.. Baker
retur ned to this city from week on
the road. They were Swallowed from
buC o ~ y SAOCA 1--WE CChLl al u HAb
and were seen to enter the hOus
where they had rented apartments.
Mr.. Zenor and detective Smith, of
Des Moines, arrived at 9:15 from
Des Moines and after a consultation
with the authorities the necessary
papers were forthcoming and the ar
rests made.
About three weeks ago Baker and
the woman made application at
reside nee in the city for accommo-
datio MS representing that they were
man and wife with their little daugh-
ter. The man was in town for Sat-
urday and Sunday and on the road
during the week in insurance bust
ness. The bills for room and board
were paid promptly. The woman
was the personification of propriety
and there was not an iota of suspi-
cion that anything was wrong.

Courted with Firearms

Considerable excitement was occa-
stoned at the Mayors Office about 8
O'Clock Saturday evening, caused by
the arrest Of Gilbert Wilson and
Daisy Grill. The couple were plan
ming an elopement but the girls
father became aware of it and a war
rant was sworn out against them.
They were taken to the mayors Office
whore q charge was arranged a.
gainst Wilson for carrying concealed
weapons. 1t seems that Wilson had
been carrying q revolver and on go
ing to the girls house had hourished
it quite freely, he plead guilty and
was given fifteen days in jail. He
begged hard to be allowed to pay q
fine but the mayor would not grant
the permission.

life convict in the Iowa penitentiaries.
He had died at the ripe age of 76 he
was fully resigned to his life and
never caused any trouble, In hislater
years, so it is said, he had shown
signs of mental weakness.
The story does not end here, how
ever, for its most pathetic chapter
followed death, The body was claimed
by the medical department of the
state university for the dissecting
table, and there being no protest
from the relatives the body was sent
to the doctors. Then the will was
opened and read. He had made a
request in the will, which was to the
effect that the, body be sent to his
farm in Clayton county and be buried
there, that the expense of such re-
moval and burial should be paid by
the estate before any money should
be paid to the heirs. But the body
had not been claimed and was al
ready in the medical school.
The property left consisted of 2sO
acres of land, some government
bonds and other securities, the whole
valued at about $40 900. He was in
fact one of the richest life prisoners
on record. The recollection of his
crime is vivid among the residents of
Clayton and Fayette COMMITTEES. The
wife survived him and the estate was
all left to her.

DEWEY CALLS ON PRESIDENT.
Does Not Discuss with Him, How
ever, the Scbley CaSe-PrePRred
for Hard work ON Case.

Washington, Nov.4.-Admiral Dewey
called upon President Roosevelt Sat-
urday, but did not discuss with him the
Schley court of inquiry, except to tell
the president that the public sessions
of the court would be concluded in a
few days.
When we begin to sIft the testlmony,"
said the admiral, Our real work will be-
gin. l tod Secretary Long when he asked
me TO become president Of the court that
l would rather go through another bat
tie In Manila bay. The hardest part Of this
work will be waGiHg through the mass Of
testimony and reaching our conclusions.
l have two able associates, however, and
realize that we are on trial before the
country as well as Admiral Schley. Two
ADLER. better men, could rot have been Sc
cured than AGmirals BeEham and Ram
sey."
Admiral Dewey said that the court
probably would take up each charge in
the precept, review the testimony, and
give the facts as they found them and
give such an opinion as they called for.
He did not know that this would be
done as he had not discussed the case
with his associates, but it had occurred
to him that this would be a good plan.
He fSlt, he said, that the American peo-
pie would want tho courts reasons in
detail and were entitled to know them.
