The Doctor Awsy from Nome when
#5 Most Needed.

{.
People are very often disappointed
to find that family physician is away
from home when they most need his
services. Diseases like cramp collie and
cholera NOR bus require prompt treat
ment, and have in many instances
proven fatal before medicine could be
procured or physician summoned.
The right way is to keep at hand q
bottle of Chamberiain's Collie, Cholera
and Diarrhoea Remedy. No physician
can prescribe a better medicine for
these diseases. By having it in the
house you escape much pain and suff-
ering and all risk. Buy 1t now; it may
save life. For sale by all druggists.

THE NEGROES ARE JUSTIFIED.

The Register and Leader believe.
the colored people are justified in theil
protest against a Tillman Chautauqus
J lecture of the usual variety in Des
/, Moines.
Would any organization in Des
, Moines invite Senator Tillman to de
/! vote an hour to the abuse of the
! Italians, the Jews, the Irish, the Ger
mans, the .Bohemians, the English
mans, the Bohemians, the English OF
! the Yankees? And yet each of these
! divisions of the human family have
their racial traits and human frailties
Senator Tillman does not tell the
truth about the colored people. sHe
/ does not give a correct idea Of the
real situation in the south. Archbishop
Ireland says the Negro has made more
progress in one generation than any
race of history The Register and
Leader has repeatedly republished
|, from the columns of southern news
paper statements that 60 to show that
the real race problem Of the south is
occasional by the rapidity with which
the Negroes are acquiring property
and an education. and SURPRISING the
peor white population. 35sa
Why should any northern society be
willing to permit Senator Tillman to
abuse and villify the Negro, to say
nothing of paying him to do 1t, when
it would not for moment consider
allowing him to say anything in the
same spirit about any other race?
There ought to be a sense OF Anglo
Saxon fairness in the north, that if
race prejudices are to be revived at
so much per- would impartially expose
the weaknesses and criminalities Of
all races.
If there be good and sufficient rea-
son why we do not permit public ridi-
cule and condemnation of other races
by wholesale, is there not good and
sufficient reason why the north at
least should cease to contribute its
good money to help southern swasii
bucklers work their political game,
which is to keep themselves in office
by a false alignment of the white
man against the Negro?
The Negro forms about one-tenth of
the total population. He is here to
stay. He is trying to make something
Of himself. IIe is seeking an educa-
tion and ic acquiring a home. He has
plenty Of leaders who have surpassed
Senator Tillman in learning, in cul-
ture, in manliness, and all essentials
OF decent American citizenship. What
is to be gained by listening to or per-
hitting this continued and unjusr
abuse of the Negro? Is it not about
time to give the under dog a chance?

You are cordially. invited to be pres

Few ministers have accomplished
go much in SO short time with so
small q con yregation.
But the faithful and untiring efforts
OF Rev. Porter and his faithful flock
have worked as those who knew no
defeat. The Union, Congregational
church stands for power and infill-
ence not alone In! the city of Des
Moines but wherever it is known.
1t has demonstrated fact which is
known to many, that it isn't members
that count with God,
The little band who started the
work looking to Jesus Christ as the
head and not man have accomplished
much. What we have done in three
years:
The membership has grown from "a
to 81.
The Sunday school has grown from
to IS.
The Mems League has grown from
70 to SO.
A lot and church building not yet
completed valued at $5,257.
Raised for incidentals, $3.50.
Raised for pastor ssalary, $2,250.
Raised for home and foreign mis-
sions $50.
Value of church property when
completed, $4,000.
Not for ourselves, but for God and
humanity has been the motto Of Union
church.
Rev. Porter has found employment
for twenty-six men, women and boys
in the city and not one Of them mem
bers Of Union Congregational church.
He also found homes for three boys
and one girl who had no one to, care
for them, and in every way possible
has cared for the sick, the poor and
needy, and wherever duty called he
was never wanting there. The work
of completing the auditorium Of the
church will begin very soon, and when
completed there will stand the most
beautiful and modern church building
for colored people lin the state of Iowa.
We boast not in our own strength but
see what God has wrought. We in
vite all who hayesno church home te
come and abide with us. We welcome
