DO WE WANT A CODORED
COMPANY?

COMPANY!
Now is good opportunity for
our people to organize in this
state company and get attach
ed to the State Guards. It will
be remembered at one time we
had one of the best drilled COM
panies in the state, and many of
the members of that company
have never been satisfied with
the way in which that company
was disbrnded. All Iowa was
proud of Company E. Why we
hove said the chahces were good
If we had company to get into
the State Guards IS that both
companies, A and H, have been
mustered out, leaving the State
Guards short two companies. We
would like to see good company
of young men formed at once in
Des Moines, Keokuk, Ottumwa,
Oskaloosa, or any other place
that have enough good men to
form a company, and apply to
Governor Shaw and General
Byers to be mustered in. There
is nothing quite so grand as a
military company skilled in the
manual of arms or the field move
ments. Men have many reasons
for wanting to see a good COM
pany in the state and we will as
sure the first compano that will
organize, that they will find all
the assistance and encouragement
rom the best people, they want.
There is a number of young men
who could take such a company
and soon have it second to none.

THE NATIONAL NEGRO
BUSINESS LEA @ UE TO
NET IN CHICAGO.

Alter full CONSIDERATION an
consultation with the officials 9
the National Negro Bushes
4 League and friends throughou
the country, it has been decide
to call the next session of tn
I League to meet at Chicago, Ills.
Wednesday, Thursday and Fri
day, August Fl, 22 and %.
! It is generally conceded tina
the meeting held in Boston las
August was one of the most sue
cessfu1 gatherings ever held II
the history of the race, and tina
it gave an encouragement ant
impetus to the race in all lines o1
business in a way that is now ap
parent in all parts of the country,
Any person engaged in any
commercial enterprise or properly
delegated to represent any indi-
vidual or individuals engaged in
commercial enterprise, is entitled
to membership under such regu-
lations as may be adopted. Wom-
en- as we'll az men engaged In
business should be represented.
It is strongly urged that Local
Leagues be established in every
part of the country where no
such leagues now exist and those
already organized be strength
ened wherever necessary, and
that these local leagues send del
egates, so far as possible to the
National organization, and keep
in close touch during the year
with the officers of the National
organization; that these local or
ganizntions hold meetings mouth
1y as far as practical; that every
thing possible be done in these
local organizations to discourage
complicated and useless parlia-
mentiary machinery, and that
parliamentary and technical dis
cussions be avoided, as far as pos
sib1e, with a view to concentra-
ting time and strength on the
real objects of the organization.
It is the desire of the officers of
our people as we'll as of the per-
persons engaged in business.
These photographs should show
both outside and inside views as
far as possible, and they should
be forwarded to the President of
the League at Tuskegee, Ala
bama, as early as convenient.
The time has come for the race
to take a long step forward in
establishing itself permanently
and more generally in the busi-
ness of the community where it
resides.
Let no Legislation or attempted
legislation discourage or dis
hearten us. There should be no
doubling or hating. Every move
should be forward one. To
gain recognition and success we
may have to struggle harder and
longer than others, but out of the
very struggle we shall gain a
strength that we can get in no
other way. The influence and
power of intelligence, high char
acter and high standing in the
business world, are sure to place
the race IN the end in a position
where it will be honored ant
treated with justice in every par
of the land. Let our watchwort
constantly be, FORWARD"

Growing in United States.

There are now FIVE states in which a
woman suffrage amendment has been
twice submitted to the voters, at inter.
walls of some years. In every case the
result has been more favorable the sec.
ond time than the first. 1t was sub
mitted in Colorado in 1877 and defeated
it was submitted again in 1898 and car
ried. In Kansas, when submitted the
first time it received 9,10O votes; when
submitted the second time it received
95,3O2. In the state of Washington, in
1889, the adverse majority was 10, 1856;
in 1898 it dropped to 9,882. In South
Dakota, in 1890, woman suffrage was
defeated by a majority of 23,61O; in
1898 by majority of only 3,2S5. In
Oregon the vote on the suffrage amend
ment in 1884 stood 2S,176 nays to H.
223 yeas; in 1900 it stood 29, 298 NAYS
to &c, 265 yeas. In 1884 only one Of the
SO counties of Oregon gave majority
for suffrage. In 1900, 81 counties gave a
majority for it, another county was a
tie, another went no by one vote, and
still another by three votes. The prog
ress of woman suffrage has been aptly
compared to series of wrestling bouts
between an old man and growing boy.
The man can throw the boy as yet, but
it is only a question of time when the
case will be reversed.

THE RIGHT THING TO PUT ON.
Hsnson's Plaster Is Pains MaSter.)

From the natural impulse to "put some-
thing on" painful spot all applications
for the relief of pain have arisen.
The most successful have ever been poul-
tees or plasters, and the best of these is
Benson's Porous Plaster.
No other has anything like the same
power as curative agent; it is highly and
scientifically medicated, and its standard
is advanced year by year.
Use Bensons Plaster for coughs, colds,
chest diseases, rheumatism, grip, neuralgia,
kidney trouble, lame back and other all
ments that make Winter a season of suffer-
ing and danger. 1t relieves and cures
quicker than any other remedy.
Do not accept Capsicum, Strengthening
or Belladonna plasters in place of Benson's,
as they possess none of its curative power.
Insist on having the genuine.
The people of every civilized land have
testified for years to the superlative merit
of Benson's Plasters; and 5000 physicians
and druggists of this country have declared
them worthy of public confidence.
In official comparisons with others, Ben
sons Plasters have been honored with
fftY-fge highest awards.
For sale by all druggists, or we will pre-
pay postage on any number ordered in the
United States on the receipt of Csc. each.
Accept no imitation or substitute.

Apple water is refreshing drink for
an invalid. 1t can be made with either
baked or raw apples, the former to be
preferred when haste is wished, that is,
if the apples are baked and in readiness.
They should be sour, and when cooked
should De immersed in boiling water to
cover them. Let stand until cool strain
and sweeten to taste. For that made
from raw apples, three or four juicy soul
apples of fine flavor should be pared and
sliced. Pour over two cupfuls of boiling
water and let stand three hours. Strain
sweeten, and add a small piece O
ice. A pleasant flavor is added if the
rind of lemon is mixed with the slices
of apples.
