Black taffeta coats have returned to popularity. but they are trimmed in many elaborate ways with bands of round the neck with lace collar. These coats are useful, for they are too warm, yet they provide that finish to the costume which Is necessary when driving or automobillng Is in order. Coats are sometimes made of gray taf- feta and lined with pink liberty satin, and the innovation Is becoming and most attractive, Sometimes, too, they are made of satin and lined with soft pongee, which makes them ser viceable and dressy at the same time.

DIR. MOORE HERE.

DR.. George Moore, financial
agent for the American Mission
ary Association of Nashville,
Tenn, spent Sunday in our city
preaching in the morning at the
Plymouth and in the evening at
the Greenwood Congregational
churches, and he assisted the
Union Congregational Sunday
school at II o'clock and delivered
a very good address, subject "A
message from the Southland :"
It was very interesting. DR..
Moore was so delighted to see
such beautiful and substantial
church that Rev. Porter has built
he was in our city four years ago
when we were meeting in little
house. DR. Moore is a man of
wide experience and by age he is
good representative of the race.
He went from here to Waterloo
to attend the State meeting.

The above is a good likeness of Hon.
J. H. Kelley of Altoona, candidate for
Representative for second term.
It has always been custimary to give
officials in this county, who are honest
and capable, a second term, and Mr.
Kelley asks your support. He is an
active Republican worker and has never
held an elective Office before.
Mr.. A. L. Urick, President of the
State Federalism of Labor, who has
carefully kept record of his votes on
bills in which the laboring man was
deeply interested says: "Your record
on these bills were first class and you
have full authority to use this state
ment in any way you deaire
Mr. Kelley was the author of the new
Justice of the Peace law, which re-
moved the graft heretofore practiced,
of dragging men into court on every
small pretex simply to get witness and
constable fees. He is friend of the
colored people and merits their support
for his second term.

Rev. H. w. Porter spoke at Dunlap,
Ia, on Sunday morning and Council
Bluffs Sunday evening in the First Con-
gregational churches of both cities.
He is meeting with much success in his
efforts to prove what an educated
ministry can do for the uplift of his
people. He also visited Omaha, found
Omaha flourishing city, but was much
grieved to see so many idle colored
men upon the streets Of that city.
"Get busy" is his advice, even though
it be busy at home until you find that
job you are looking for. We cannot
afford to be seen in this progressive
age without an occupation of some kind.
Men and women Of the race, "get
busy" be found busy and remain busy
and you will demand the respect and
praise of all mankind.

ASSAULTS OF WOMEN
MUST BE STOPPED.

In this land of civilization and
age of enlightenment but few
acts of barbarism or tiendish
heathenism are practiced or even
attempted in this country except
upon women to attempt to COM
NIT rape, this heinous crime is
praticed still in this country by
both black and white people.
Therefore it is high time for the
good people both white and black
to get together all over the Uni
ted States and put stop to this
crime, either make the punish
ment so severe and so great that
we see each guilty party quickly
tried. We regret that our race
commits such crimes, and we like
other good lawabiding citizens
will join in to assist any one to
find and punish the guilty. There
should be sufficient colored off
GERS and detectives employed to
assist in forcing out those class
es. Let our newspapers cease try
ing to incite riot and lynch law
BY those burning article de-
nouncing the whole race because
there are few criminals among
our race. We regret and are
sorry that such be true, but the
same is true among the white
race. So let us like ture brtohers
join together and see that these
acts arestopped.

Wants Criminals Punished.

The atrocious assaults made
upon white women by Negroes in
Des Moines last week, which
caused sensation all over the
state, was made the subject Of an
address lasi night by Rev. J. Cor
nelius Reid: pastor of Mt. Zion
Baptist church. He took rap
at the newspapers which play
upon such stories in lurid head
lines and urged the necessity of a
press censorship over all papers
which would scatter the seed of
race incendiarism," ..
Among other things, Rev. Mr..
Reid said:
ut is to be deplored that the
heinous crime of criminal assault
upon two white women by mem.
bers of my race has manifested
itself. The respectable and law
abiding element of our race feel
keenly the effects of these barba-
rous acts. We desire such crimi-,
mails be punished to the full ex-
tent Of the law.
ut is a question whether self
respecting and law abiding Neg
roes will be protected from the
fury of an outraged public in the
north. Atlanta failed to stand
to stand the test of justice as
against racial hate, for their citi-
zens murdered Negroes indiscrimi-
nately because of this peculiar
crime. Will the people of Des
Moiues and Iowa foster like
prejudice against self respecting
Negroes because of its base crimi-
nails? Crime is not the special
heritage OF any particular race,
and in justice to the Negro and
to the Christianity we represent,
as we'll as duty to God, we ask
the white people of Des Moines
and Iowa to fix the blame upon
the guilty parties and allow a
sane and charitable feeling to ex-
ist between the races.
eve appeal to the Christian
white people not to force self re-
specting Negroes to remain silent
in these cases of criminal assault
BY nistreating and fostering-
secret prejudice against the
worthy members of our race. -
