A Great child.sav,na Work.

| DIR. III. w. Slingerllnd, of the confer
ence, is state superintendent of the
Iowa Children's Home Society, the
largest and most important private
charity in the state. He has held the
position for three years. under regular
appointment by the bishop, and expects
to continue for an)ther year at least.
The society was Incorporated i'll 1883
and its work is the rescue of homeless
and destitute child'en, and the placing
Of them in selected and approved fam
lily homes. In fourteen years nearly
2,400 children have been wards of the
society, of whom over 1000 are yet in
family homes, under age, and>under the
society's supervision. Over 600 of these
have been cared fer since Mr.. Singer
land became superintendent in 1899.
From fifteen to twenty-five new chill
dren are received each month and as
many placed in homes. The society
possesses a splendid receiving home and
central Office at Des Moines as its
headquarters. Here children from
abodes of poverty. slums of cities, poor
are temporarily cared for, cleaned and
In the central office are complete rec
ords of all children, of all families,
which have taken wards of the society,
with adoption and other important pa
pers, so that the legal rights of ell may
be always ascertained and maintained.
Here also all decisions are made in re-
gard to placements, final papers,
removals of children, the hiring and
discharging of employees and all other
important matters. The central Office
is the hub of the society, its business
center.
The support Of this great charity,
which employs a score of workers con-
stantly, and requires thousands of doll
lars annually, is almost wholly from
the philanthropic people of the state,
most of whom are found in the various
churches. The work is interdenomina-
tional. On its board of managers are
such men as Dr. ]. B. Albrook, of the
Methodist Episcopal church, DR.. I. N.
McCash, of the Church of Christ, DR..
John A. Writ, of the English Lutheran,
Hon. II. Scott Howell, of the Presby-
terrain, Mr.. Simon Casady, of the Epis-
copal and Mr.. Geo. x. Powers, Of the
Baptist. Among the active workers are
members of at least five denominations.
So all churches are equally recognized
and give equally cordial support.
The past year has been the very best

children We're received. The work is

servaItive management of DR.. Singer

duty Of caring for her helpless and
homeless children, Iowa has in this or

the world. and should be proud of the
and it's splendid work.

A Peculiar Accident.

The fourth section of No. 95, the
north bound freight in charge of Con-
ductor c. c. Christianson, experienced
most peculiar accident at the north
switch at Monkey Mountain at 1:45
Thursday evening. The train was run
ming at the rate of twenty miles an hour
when one pair of trucks on box car
left the rails and one wheel of the
truck, running over the ties, close up to
the rail, tore out the spikes holding the
rail for distance of 1000 feet before
the train could be stopped Other than
delaying the train a short time no
great amount of damage was done.

TO DETECT PolsoNs.

The Body Tries to Sweat Them Out
At a convention of medical men in st.
Louis the effects of coffee drinking were
carefully considered. It was unani-
1nously agreed that while coffee does not
seem to injure some persons. to others it
is a rank poison. The effect on differ
ent persons is of course, very different.
In some the heart is affected, in others
the kidneys, again the stomach or bow
els. or the eyes. and in nervous cases the
prostratiOn is spread over the whole
body

of poisoning from coffee. He says, 4

could not successfully diagnose it. I

Vanderbilt Clinic for treatment There

two hours. What I suffered no one can
understand.
It finally came to me that these terri

Duty of Democracy.

The party, as party, needs to haul
in sail and to keep before the wind. 1t
has been undertaken too much, promis-
ing too much, and thus, by doing moth
ing, discrediting itself. One can not be
a pilot and surgeon at one and the
same time. 1t is for democracy to steer
between socialism on the one hand aud
expediency on the other hand. To ally
tradition with progress; to identify ex-
pansion with freedom; to cleanse the
Augean stables by process of eyolu-
ton, not revolution, and to hold the
money power within bounds without
impairing the public credit and order,
these are the lessons democrats have to
set themselves and to learn; and, as we
master them and put them in practice,
shall we confirm our usefulness as o
national force, and recover the power
which fatuous, blind incompetency
threw away.-Courier- ournal.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 5.-Tonight
Chairman Thompson, of the state dem

statement in which he estimates the
majority of James B. Frazier, demo-
cratic candidate for governor, at so, 900
votes, with probability of its reaching
$4,000. The congressional race in the
Eighth district has been a close one,
but returns leave no doubt of the re.
election of T, W. Sims, democrat, over
F. N. Davis, the republican candidate.
The anti-saloon league has cut quite a
figure in the state legislative election,
the lower house being overwhelmingly
its way, while from twenty to twenty
two of the senate's thirty-three mem
bers are claimed to be in sympathy.
Both houses of the legislature are, Of
course, largely democratic.
