F~INKELsTEIN MURDER.
John Walker is Found Guilty by a Des
Moines Jury.

Des Moines, Mch., I've, the
jury, find John Walker guilty of man.
slaughter"
This was the verdict that the jury
returned in the Finkelstein murder
to Judge Givin at 6:15 last night,
after having been out since 8 o'clock
Saturday afternoon, a total Of twenty
seven hours.
The crime for which Walker stands
convicted is the killing of Isaac Fin
kelstein, who for many years was one
of the leaders of the Hebrews on the
east side of the river and a prominent
republican politician. Finkelstein had
been on the police force, was interest
ed in the second hand furniture bust
ness and owned some property in the
east side business district. He was
murdered on the night of August 5
last, at about 10 p. M, while enroute
to his home on East Seventh street.
The murderer stepped out of the
mouth of an alley as Finkelstein pass
ed and struck him over the head with
a, singletree which had been removed
from a wagon belonging to Harris
Levich and which was standing in the
rear of his store at 522 East Walnut
stree, less than a block from the scene
of the murder.

with the negro and a great step would
be made in the solution of the whole
problem.
The time for fire, sword, shotgun
and the lynchers' rope is past and cool
judgment should rule in their stead.
Mr.. Washington believes that the sub
ject can be submitted to arbitration,
just as any other large problem involv-
ing a difference of opinion. In the
close of a notable address, delivered
in New York City recently, he makes
this appeal and suggestion:
81 cannot believe, I will not believe,
that a country that invites into it's
midst every type of European, from
the highest to the very dregs of the
earth, and gives these comers shelter,
protection and the highest encourage
ment, will refuse to accord the same
protection and announcement to its
black citizens. The negro seeks no
special privileges. All that he asks is
opportunity-that the same law which
is made by the white man and applied
to the one race be applied with equal
certainty and exactness to the other.
"The age of settling great questions,
either social or national, with the shot
gun, the torch and by lynchings has
passed. An appeal to such methods is
unworthy of either race. I believe the
time has come-and I believe it is a
perfectly practical thing-when a
group of representative southern white
men and northern white men and
negroes should meet and consider with
the greatest calmness and business
sagacity the whole subject as viewed
from every standpoint"

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf.
ness. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflammed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rumb-
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, deafness
is the result, and unless the inflamma-
ton a be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflammed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give one Hundred Dollars
for any case of deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be sured by Halls
Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,

My observation says Jack Dali
ton in the Manson Democrat, has
been that the girls whom l have
known to go to the bad were neglected
in religious training, brought up amid
unpleasant surroundings and too often
allowed to choose their own company
and do as they pleased. They were
never taught self-restraint and never
asked to change their ways unless it
was with curses, epithets and threats
of violence. The good girls it has
been my good fortune to know, and l
am grateful that they are many, YER
nearly all given rigorous religious
training, were the companions and
chums Of their parents, were advised
with kind and loving words and given
every opportunity to enjoy themselves
in refreshing, innocent amusement"

JOINS ATTACK ON SMooT.
Helen Gould Signs Memorial to Sem
nte Protesting Against Seating
the Utah Man.

Washington, March Miss Helen
Gould and the other officers of the
International Council of Women for
Christian and Patriotic Service make
vehement protest against the seating
of S~enatOr-eIect Reed Smoot in a
long memorial received by the SEN
ate Saturday. The direct charge of
polygamy is not made against Mr..
Smoot, as in the protest of Mission
airy Leilich, received early last week,
but it is asserted that the church of
which he is an officer encourages
polygamy and hopes to establish it
as a part of the law of the land,

THE MAN WHO WENT ON.

There was c sudden outbreak of fire
on Saturday in the varnish room of a
factory in this city. Fifteen girls en-
ployed on the fourth floor hurried 10
the dark and narrow stair. The first
to reach it fell, but in her terror she
chung to the balustrade and blocked
the way.
Charles Parr, the foreman, made
himself heard by the crowd of terri
fed women and led the way through
the dense smoke to the street. Annie
Ledwein picked up the fallen girl and
carried her out. But Parr was not
sure that all were in safety and called
to James Woolley to follow him back
into the building. After a time Wool
ley staggered out again. Where is
Parr?" was the cry that greeted him.
I'VE ran to the fourth floor" said

The c QUESTION.

Booker T. Washington, the presi-
dent of the Tuskegee negro college
and the acknowledged leader Of the
colored race in America, admits that
the race problem is a grave n and is
daily becoming more pressing. His
conservative spirit, his knowledge of
and sympathy with his race, coupled
as it is with our knowledge of the prac-
teal results of his labors in behalf OF
his people gives value to his opinion.
According to Mr.. Washington the
path to independence and usefulness
for the negro lies along the line Of
fitting him, by education, honesty and
frugality, to meet the conditions that
confront him. To accomplish this the
way is clear. Let judgment on the
part of the whites take the place of
sentiment and prejudice in dealing

A Remarkable Case.

One of the most remarkable cases
of a cold, deep-seated on the lungs,
causing pneumonia, is that of Mrs.
Gertrude E. Fenner, Marion, Ind. who
was entirely cured by the use Of One
Minute Cough Cure. She says: "The
coughing and straining so weakened
me that | run down in weight from
148 to 80 pounds. 1 tried a number of
remedies to no avail until l used One
Minute Cough Cure. Four bottles OF
this wonderful remedy cured me en-
tirely of the cough, strengthened my
lungs and restored me to my normal
weight, health and strength"
