Bloomfield, Sept. 30-(Special.) y
After stealing two horses to aid him
in his escape from the officers who
have been hot on his trail, and after
having come out of two running fights
in two days without injury, Dee Mar

Thought He Was Surrounded.
Late yesterday afternoon it was
thought that the officers, with a posse
of nearly 200 men had the fleeing
bandit surrounded in heavily wood

nine and half miles northeast of this
city. In some mysterious manner UNI
known to the pursuers the man elud-
ed the entire posse and escaped south

half east of this city, and was last
seen about five miles south of Bloom
field by a lone traveller last night.

ELOQUENT ADDRESS.
S. j. Brown Speaks Before the Good In
tent Club.

.,s iCnt SidUs
From Wednesdays Daily.
MY advice for the solution of the
problem of constitutional disfranchise-
ment is, first, not an appeal to arms
but to the courts stated Attorney S.
j. Brown, the colored orator, in his
address at the Second Baptist church
last evening. The address was upon
the topic, Constitutional Disfran-
chistisement Its Evils and Its Rene
dies" and was an eloquent statement
of the speakers faith that the disfran-
chisement of the colored voter in the
southern states would become a thing
of the past when the matter is brought
to the attention of the supreme court
of the United States in the proper
manner.
Mr.. Brown is an attorney practicing
at Des Moines. He is a former resi-
dent of Ottumwa, attended the public
schools in this city and has the hon
or and distinction of being the only
colored boy ever graduated from the
high school of this city. His lecture
was delivered before the Good In
tent club and the attendance was
large.
The address was in part as fol-
lows:
The fourteenth amendment contains a
provision which in mig humble Judgment
is violated by the DISTINGUISHING legislation
under consideration.
ut is the provision that No state shall
make or enforce any law which shall
abridge the privileges or immunlties Of cit
izens of the United States nor shall any
state deprive any person of life, liberty or
property without due process of law nor
deny to any person within its Jurisdiction
the equal protection Of the laws
Certainly the right to vote Is priyl-
lege and the right to vote regardless OF ed
ncation or property, an immunity of a
citizen of the United States and law
which deprlyes a citizen of the United
States Of the right TO vote or abridges this
Immunity to him and leaves it intact TO
another violates this provision and is there
fore unconstitutional
Again 1t should be observed that stat
ute which excludes negroes from the poll
lists also excludes them from the jury list
for the latter is invariably made up from
the former; but the supreme court of the
United States has already said that such
