background for the color schemes of the
pictures.

A Native of New York.
Mrs. Josephine Silone Yates of Kan
sas is a native of New York. Her
early education was received in the
Rogers high school at Newport, Conn,
from which school she graduated in
the year 1877 as valedictorian of the
class. She Immediately entered the
Normal school at Providence, r. T.,
and in 1879 secured her degree, gradu-
ating with the honor rank. Since that
time Mrs. Yates has devoted her time
entirely to the work of the moral and
intellectual advancement of her race.
For the past twenty years she has
taught in Missouri and during eight of
which she has been instructor of ma
tural science in the Lincoln institute
at Jefferson City, Mo. Mrs. Yates has
gained a national reputation as an ed
ucator, a writer and lecturer. She was
elected to the Office of president of the
national association of colored wo-
mans clubs at the meeting held in
Buffalo last July.
Work Is a Growth.
Concerning the work of the colored
women's clubs Mrs. Yates says, "All
such work must be a growth among
the colored people just as it has been
among the white people. In the
south there is carried on through the
agency of the club kindergarten de-
partments for the benefit of the color
ed children. During the past few
years there has been quite a marked
advancement in the club circles and
the club women are now coming to a
place where they may exert a wonder
full influence for good in the affairs of
the race. l believe that Iowa is an
excellent field for the work of the
women's clubs and l look for a mar
velous growth in the affairs in this
field"

DIES SUDDENLY.
Mrs. H. p. Wilson Passed Away at
Burlington.

DO'tiIiStOHs
[From Tuesdays Daily.l
The many friends of Mrs. Ruth Car
penter Wilson, the wife of DR.. Horace
p. Wilson, formerly of this city, will
be panied to learn of the death of this
estimable young woman, which occur
red at Burlington at the home of her
father, E. H. Carpenter, shortly before
midnight. The news was received in
this city by Mrs. w. r. Daum, a cousin
of Mrs. Wilson, this morning. The
blow is a hard one for the loving rela-
tives of the deceased to bear, and es-
pecially SO inasmuch as the death was
sudden and unexpected.
Ruth Carpenter vas born in Burling-
ing t~hirty-one years ago. She was
reared and educated in Burlington and
was married to DR.. Horace P. Wilson
five years ago. They came to Ottum-
wa and resided at 432 North Court
street, DR.. Wilson having his office in
the building on Main street opposite
the Ballingall hotel. Both Dr.. and Mrs.
Wilson made many friends in Ottum-
wa and We're highly esteemed by all
who knew them. The sincere sym
pathy of all of the scores of friends
and acquaintance they had in Ottum-
wa is extended to the bereaved hus-
band in his hour of extreme sorrow.
In December, 1899, DR.. and Mrs.
Wilson removed to Mediapolis, and
since that time their home has been
at that place. Yesterday Mrs. Wilson
was on a visit to her father, Mr.. Car.
penter, at Burlington. when she was
taken iii suddenly, and in spite Of all
that could be done for her RELIEF she
was passed away about midnight. The
funeral services will be held Thursday
lat the Carpenter home in Burlington.

the delegates to the convention and
the members and friends of the local

which had reached its limit, broke
forth in one great volume at the ap.
pearance of Mrs. Josephine Silone

upon her introduction to the audience
she was most heartily applauded and

supreme object is the upbuilding of

Mrs. Yates arrived in this city last
evening to attend the state convention
of colored women's clubs and to assist
in the organization of the Iowa State
Federation. Mrs. Yates, in converse
ton with a Courier representative,

EVENING SESSION.
Mrs. Josephine siIone Yates Makes a
Short Address.

The height Of enthusiasm was
reached at the session of the conven-
ton held last evening at which time
Mrs. Josephine Silone Yates, of Kan
sas City, president of the national as
ISOLATION of Colored Women's clubs,
made a brief address to the assembly
in which she spoke Of the work that
is being accomplished by the colored
club women throughout the United
States. The large audience room of
the church where the convention is
being held was well filled and the au-
dience listened with great interest to
the exercises of the evening.
After the opening exercises a short
business session was held at which
time a committee on household econ
omy was appointed consisting of Mrs.
Ruth Richardson, of Davenport; Miss
Florence White. Of Muscatine, and
Mrs. M. A. Strother, Of Ottumwa.
Mrs. Yates Introduced.
At this juncture Of the proceedings
Mrs. Josephine Silone Yates was in.
troduced to the convention and was
greeted with a most hearty and en-
thusiastic ovation.
The Program.
The program of the evening was
opened with "a piano solo by Miss
Florence White, delegate to the con-
vention from Muscatine. Mrs. Gene
We've Toliver, of Rock Island, pre-.
sented a paper or the subject of en-
portance Of Mothers Meetings"
Mrs. Toliver is one of the most prom
inent colored club women in the Tri.
cities and her presentation of this
subject was peculiarly interesting to
the persons present. Miss Blanche
Bell entertained the audience witch a
very enjoyable recitation, which was
followed by a solo by Miss Lillian
Fields.
Mrs. Jackson's Address.
Mrs. F. Jackson, of Des Moines,
gave a very interesting discussion on
the subject, Influence Of Young Wo-
men," and said in part as follows:
Someone has said the three sweet
est words in the English language are
Mother, Home and Heaven. The first
two represent that which is purest and
hottest in this life, the third is our
ideal of the blissful state to come, and
the mere mention Of these names
holds the attention of those who ap-
pear hardened in the ways of wicked
ness. Nature teaches us that great eff.
fects are produced by gentle persistent
means. The spell that binds comes
from within the home rather than
form outside halls of legislation. The
man was not a dreamer who wrote:
Let me write the songs Of a nation.
and I care not who makes its laws
The effect of sweet and gentle infu-
ence and it's power for doing good is
one of the important factors in home
and society, and it is the cultivation
of this influence that should bring
forth the best efforts Of the young
woman, Of whom it may be truly said:
You have a work that no other can
do q work Of daily m~inistration, by
casting the sunlight cheer Of comfort
and encouragement along the pathway
of 5fher lives.

TO OBSERVE FLAG DAY.
Will Be Officially Celebrated In Iowa
This Year,

For the first time in the history Of
the state of Iowa a proclamation has
been issued by the governor of the
state this year requesting that the
people observe June IA as Flag day.
For several years the flags on public
buildings and some private homes
have been displayed OF this day, but
never before has the observation been
requested in Iowa by a proclamation.
However, the custom has become so
general that the action of Governor
Cummins is especially appropriate.
1t is the more appropriate inasmuch
as it was issued Sc neal the time when
the capital city, where the governors
office is located, was decorated with
flags and filled with hundreds of the
defender of the emblem of The Ameri-
can supremacy.
One man in Iowa who is RESPONSE
BILE largely for the widespread notice
that Flag day is attracting, is Richard
c. Barrett, state superintendent of
public instruction. Mr.. Barrett is a
patriotic man in the truest sense of
the term, and he never misses an OPP
p%ortunity to laud his nation in any
way possible. He has done much to
instill into the minds of the children
of the state since he has been super
i%ntendent the Importance of observing
the days which are important in the
history of the nation.
The Day.
June IA is the day upon which in
1777, the year after the declaration
of Independence was adopted, the
Stars and Stripes were chosen as the
emblem of the United States, then
comprising the thirteen original state
organizations. The day had been OBJ
served in a semi-oficial manner for
several years past, but an especial eff
fort is being made this year to secure
a uniform observance throughout the
United States. The governors proc
lamation in full is as follows:
Governors Proclamation.
"In harmony with a custom rapidly
becoming general, and which ought to
be encouraged by all lovers of their
country. l hereby proclaim Saturday,
June IA, 1902. as Flag day, and earn
estly recommend that the day be OBJ
served by IL citizens throughout the
state by such assemblies, exercises
and ceremonies as may be best adapt
ed to inspire patriotism and increase
the love we bear for the flag of the
republic. l respectfully suggest that
all the schools of the state observe
the previous day in some fitting man.
ner, and that upon Flag day the peo-
pie decorate their homes, places of
business and all public buildings with
the Stars and Stripes in commemora-
ton of the occasion"
