HAPPENINGS IN
HAWKEYED0M
What Has Been Going on
During the Past
Week.
DON'T WANT PARL0R EQUALITY
President of State Federation of Afro
American Women Clubs Advises Colored
to Avoid Contact With Women and
Work Out Their own Salvation.

Muscatine, April 1--we do not
ask for parlor equality with the white
race. The negro women, knew,
would shrink from social contact with
the white race. But we want to be
taken into their hearts as human be-
ings; we want them to help us, and
it is their duty to make their neigh
bors better, be they as black as the
ace Of spades"
The above were the words of Mrs.
H. Downey, of Ottumwa, president of
the Iowa State Federation of Afro
American Women clubs, at a meet
ing of the executive committee held
in this city.
In an impassioned address she ex-
horted colored women to avoid con-
tact with white women and work out
their own salvation. She urged them
to protect their own good names at
any cost, and insisted that this was
the only method by which they could
hope to uplift their race.

HEAD OF BOXERS is DEAD.
Yuns III, Controller Of Chinese Finan'
ces, is Victim of Dropsy.

ceS, Is Victim or Dropsy.
Picking, April 11.-Yung Lu, the con-
troller of finances and first grand sec.
rotary, is dead. He had been suffering
for some time past from dropsy and
was known to be very critically ILL.
A month ago he asked permission to
retire from Office but the dowager en-
press urged him to take a rest instead,
as the emperor needed his services.
Yung Lu, who was a Manchu, at the
time of the beginning of the boxer"
outbreak was viceroy of the province
of Pc Chi LII and generalissimo Of the
Chinese army. He was then said to
be the most powerful man In China,
his influence being even greater than
that of Ii Hung Chang. Since the death
of the latter, Yung Lu has more than
once been represented as debating the
policy of the dowager and emperor.
The rapid rise Of Yung Lu from a
small military command to be viceroy
of Pc Chi LII and later to be one of the
highest counsellors of the dowager
empress is said to have been unprece-
dented. He obtained his post of gen.
eralissimo as reward for crushing
the reform party in China.
Yung Lu was said to be the real au-
thor of the anti-foreign outbreak in
Picking and Tien Tsin and he COM
manded the best disciplined troops
which opposed the allies. This latter
fact was recalled by foreigners when.
in 1901, he was awarded the two eyed
peacock feather "for protecting for
eigners against the boxers"

FLOODS AT KANSAS

Kansas City, Aug. iS.-Boats are
again being used to transport persons
between the two Kansas Citys, the
James street bridge and the Metropol-
itan street railway company's bridge
over the Kansas river having been car
ried out by the strong current. The
river is higher than at any time since
the June food, and other structures are
in danger. The wrecked bridges are
temporary pile affairs, constructed
hastily two months ago. When the
James street bridge went out II fioated
down stream and carried away the steel
railway bridge which supported the
Kansas City, Kan, gas main and tele-
phone cable. The wreckage Of the two
bridges finally lodged against the Chi
cago Great Western Railway bridge,
and while It weakened that structure
and put It out of service. the bridge
will, it is believed, remain intact.
