Hospital Corps Back from Can

Hospital Corps Back from Camp.
Mayor Macrae and his hospital corps
which accompanied the Fifty-sixth regi-
ment, Iowa National guard, to Fort Riley
arrived home yesterday morning. The men,
while tired out with the weeks maneuvers
were in good physical condition and not a
man was on the sick list.
Mayor Macrae said the corps was kept
busy all the time and on the tramp the
greater part of the time. The camp OF
instruction was thirty-six miles square and
this afforded considerable room for lona
distance tramps. The alkali dust and ex.
treme heat, Mayor Macrae said was very
trying, and the ground over which they
hiked. as rule. was about as rough as
could be fousd anywhere. The Fifty-sixtt
regiment was given a good marking by
the umpires, about as good as most OF
the regulars. Colonel Humphreys was un
able to attend and the regiment was ir
command Of Lieutenant Colonel Cook.

gates were selected. AS a result an op-
portunity for reuniting the factions pre-
sented itself and the chairmen of the
rival factions united in selecting a date
and place and temporary chairman for the
convention to name county candidates. In
Jasper the county ticket was nominated
when the state delegates were selected,
and a result there are two county tickets
In the field. Both have asked the county
auditor to give them place on the ticket
and both have fled their list of nominees
as the regular republican ticket. In spite
of the discouraging situation 1t Is learned
that leaders of both factions have been at
republican headquarters In this city en-
deavoring to fix up a solution and the
probability is strong that one Of the fac
tions will withdraw its list of nominees.
Ex-AttOrney General Hopeful.
Ex-Attorney General Baker of Center
Vile, who was in this city yesterday and
today, declares that the signs of a repub-
lican victory, so far as his county is con-
cerned. are growing brighter every day.
General Baker is resident of Center
Vile, in Appanoose county, and has been
intimately associated in many ways with
Claude r. Porter, the democratic nominee
for governor He said today: II know
of five prominent republicans in Appa-
moose county who, when Porter was nom-
mated were going TO vote for him and
were red hot for him. Toda. every one
of them is getting ready to go out and
work enthusiastically for the whole repub-
lican ticket. There are many others like
them in our section of the state" General
Baker is a republican and his statement
was made to ex-Congressman Walt But
ler who Is In charge of the democratic
headquarters here following a claim by
Mr.. Butler that he was every day receiv-
ing many letters from republicans saying
they would vote for Porter and Dennison.

Pending controversy.
OPPOSITION TO II slsAISs vNsHAKtS
Return of Mayor Macrae and Counetl-
man Younkerman Gives Oppor-
tunity for All 60 Go on
Record on Question.

The proposed lighting contract with the
Citizens Gas and Electric company, which
has been pending for several months. Is
slated TO come up for action at the meeting
of the city council tonight Consideration
of the contract has been delayed owing to
the absence at times Of Mayor Macrae
and Councilman Younkerman, chairman of
the committee on FIRE and light, having the
matter in hand. Mayor Macrae arrived
home yesterday from Fort Riley and Coun-
Gilman Younkerman is home from his trip
TO Germany. 80 a full attendance Is ex-
pected at tonights meeting.
The proposed contract, which. IL n said.
the committee will recommend. varies but
In few minor details from that originally
submitted several months ago. Opposition
to the proposed contract is expected from
CouncIlnen Wallace and Knudsen. who
| have demanded extensions Of the COM
pany's gas mains which President Nash
declined to accede to at this time al
though he promised that such extensions
would be made as soon as practicable and
possibly next year. The proposed contract
prepared by the committee on fire and
light is regarded by Mayor Macrae and
| several of the councilmen as a favorable
| one for the city and II was stated last
| evening that It was likely there would be
suficient votes to carry it's adoption.
These are the main features of the con-
tract:
To be for FIVE years from July Of this
| year to July ]. 1871; the company to furnish
arc lights of 1000 nominal candle power
| under the Philadelphia moonlight schedule
| at $3.50 per light per year; this rate to be
| subject to a rebate or royalty OF per cent
| OF all the company's gross earnings on all
! other electrical business in the city, the
company guaranteeing that IL will not claim
| or seek to collect from the city after the
application of such rebate or royalty a
| sum to exceed the rate of se5 on average
per light per year, of hours under the
| moonlight schedule; the rate under an all
night schedule is to be seS per light. no new
| light to be placed requiring an extension
| Of the circuits more than 1000 feet with
| out the consent of the company; lights
! after being located and installed to be
moved only at expense OF the city; the city
| agrees to pay for at least 16 lights; four
incandescent lights of thirty-two candle
power each to be reckoned equalling
| one arc light company agrees during the
| life of the contract TO a rate of 81 q per
| 1000 cubic feet Of gas, provided bills are
| paid on or before the 18th Of each month.
| the rate to be $.35 where bills are not
paid by that time; the new rate for gas
to take effect January 1, 1907.

Couldn't Carry the Cabbage.

She was a very small girl indeed, and she stood contemplating in despair a very large cabbage just as young lady of benevolent mind passed by. The young lady took note of the despair.
 Gan do anything to help you. dear?" she asked kindly. Cant you carry that cabbage?"
 "No'm," said the child, hopefully.
 The young lady considered her ten spare moments and picked up the cab bage.
 If you don't live far I'll carry 1t for you" she said; and forthwith balanced the cabbage on her open hand to show how very strong she was. You can carry 1t just to the door-can't you, honey?"
 'No'm; I can't" very positively.
 But why not?"? It isn't heavy" The young lady was plainly puzzled.
 "No'm; but there's big worm on it right where your hand is, and I don't want to touch it. It's horrid worm. like"
 But the cabbage had dropped with . thump and the young lady was already hurrying on toward the corner with a handkerchief tightly clutched in her hand.-Judge.

seemed waiting for something; the katy-dids, the doves. were silent; no sound nor stir came from any living creature; the owls cry was hushed; only a bat blundered by with soft swish of wings.
 Lavender reached out her hand for Charles comforting clasp. How still the night is," she said. Tt awes, 1t frightens me. Even so think 1t will be on that dread, final night. The world will be still-so still. beloved, that the last waiting ears will hear the whirling of the globe. the swing or the stars in space"
 "Lavender." Mrs. Creighton's voice startled them-loud, but clear and sweet as water over stones.
 "Yes, mother, dearest" and the daughter clasped the knees of her who now sat upright in the hammock, her whole frame tense, rigid. On her face was look of unearthly fairness. a beauty that was young again, with the last. eternal youth.
 Her eyes were wide with expectancy. a smile parted her lips. "'Are we al- most there?'" she murmured.
 For one long moment the daughter gazed, not daring to draw breath breath now was precious.
 She watched the last faint sign of color fade from her mothers face. leaving 1t gray as a wasted ember. Only those eyes burned bright with the fire of the deathless soul.
 Then waves of grief enveloped the young. untamed heart, her whole being ached with agony as in a flash the thought confronted her. She had not prayed right; she had blasphemed; she had demanded of her God this boon. And now the cup was at her lips. but she must not taste-the Promised Land was In sight. but she must abide on Pisgah.

Metz, General Horace Porter. Secretary Elihu Root Judge William K. Townsend and Judge William J. Wallace. Others in attendance will be presidents of the largest American universities and prominent patent lawyers, who are ac- lively interested in the celebration. Professor Perkin himself probably will be present.
 Aside from the practical advantages which have resulted from the discovery made by Professor Perkin in 1858 the science of chemistry has profited won- derfully. Particularly in America, where the coal tar industry is enor- nous. has the discovery had a great effect. It gave to the study of organic chemistry and to chemistry in general . powerful stimulus. It also opened up new field in the creation of new compounds possessing wonderful phys- illogical properties, and the materia medica consequently has been enrich ed by the. addition of hundreds and even thousands of new remedies which were not previously known. including such as phenacetin. antipyrin and salol.
 In connection with the jubilee there will be banquet and symposium on the progress of synthetic chemistry, In- cluding the results in relation to theo. retical chemistry, the arts of dyeing and calico printing, the production of new remedies. antiseptics and per. fumes. It Is intended to present to Professor Perkin an appropriate token of appreciation of his services.
 A prize to be known as the Perkin medal will be established and awarded annually to the American chemist who shall have rendered the most impor.. tant service to the science of applied chemistry in the previous year. An other feature of the jubilee will be tbs foundation of a national library oe chemical works and periodicals situat- ed in New York and consisting of q permanent reference library and q du. pllcate circulating library for the ben. eft of chemists throughout the United States.

 "God answers sharp and sudden on

 And thrusts the thing we have prayed
 for in our face,
 A gauntlet with a gift int"
 Scarcely were they home again in St. Charles when they began planning for the return to Virginia.
 Lavender was all excitement, all in- terest. Was not this the desired end of her hopes! The direct answer to prayer?
 But her mother watched the prep arations quietly, without enthusiasm.
 At Lavender's gentle remonstrance she forced smile to hide the sigh. "Yes. I know, child. we are almost there.'"
 But the daughters happy. hopeful heart did not see the meaning with which swift and undefnable presci- ence burdened the words.
 Once America spoke in a muffied tone of alarm. Honey, hab yo' mo- ticed dat yo' mas allus axin' what time 1t Is?"
 The mysterious manner struck e chill to Lavender's heart, though the words seemed senseless.
 Rolling her eyes until the whites were in startling relief against the black setting. the old woman contin- ued: "Dey do say as dat's a bad sign. honey"
 Then. as she noted the effect of her speech: "Nebber mind my fool talk. chile. come out an see de nice new moon

Winslow answered, speaking and scornfully: "I am amazed, MT. Creighton, that you continue this farce. Let us have done with it. AS man to man why not acknowledge that you struck the blow?"
 Gerald retreated, deathly pale. Then his lips, purple with rage, opened but slightly as he stammered: 'I-struck what blow?"
 Then, as the full force of Winslow's suspicion dawned upon him, he stag gered to seat on fallen tree. You thought I killed Sues father? And she thought SO? Thinks so still? Good God!" And he covered his face with his hands.
 In the long pause that followed neither heard the rustic of grass near, nor saw the two figures lowering on the outskirts of the grove.
 Charles was the first to speak. 'I am to understand, then, sthat you did not"
 Gerald sprang to his feet. T did not. By what right am accused? The old man was dead when reached the spot; you were unconscious; what more natural than that should think he died by your hand?"
 Perfectly natural. but mistake. nevertheless. Then, since to neither of
