tiOn, is progressing nicely under the
pastOriate of Rev. II. M. Mcmillan,

the condition of the church is said

good for humanity.

The colored people of Muskogee
have suffered the bardships of public
discrimination long enough and we
demand that something be done to
better existing conditions at the Katy
depot
The colored waiting room at this
depot Is without exception the most
vile, polluted and filthiest place we
know OF for the accommodation of our
people, In the city of MuskOgee.
Our women are compelled to sit In
an atmosphere Of tobacco smoke and
bad whisky while waiting for their
trains, or expose themselves to the
weather while white women are pro-

Is this fair to the colored people?
Is this complying with the law?
The law specifies that the colored
people be accorded equal accomOda-
tion in every respect to that OF the
whites.

"soDA" MAY GUST WILEY.
College Experts Find Chemists Ben
zoate Theories Wronq.

Washington JAN 25-A severe jolt
to DIR. Wiley, chief of the bureau OF
chemistry of the department of agri-
culture, has been delivered by the ref
cree board appointed to settle the long
standing controversy over the safety
of benzoate of soda as an edible.
Despite Dr. Wiley's famous poison
squad" experiments and, his findings to
the effect that food preserved with
benzoate is decidedly injurious to the
health, it is declared that human beings
may indulge in "doped" food to rea-
sonable extent. A board of college pro-
fessors appointed several months ago
by the president has held experiments
and determined that DR.. Wiley's theo-
ries are all wrong.
The resignation OF DR.. Wiley IS pre-
dicted as the result of the report. He
will take no steps to this end before
the secretary of agriculture has passed
on the findings of the referee board. 1t
is morally certain that the approval of
the latter will not be withheld. On the
board, therefore, will fall the onus of
discrediting DR.. Wiley, and President
Roosevelt and the secretary of agricult-
ure will stand as onlookers wearing
grieved expressions.
In advance of the decision of the sec
rotary of agriculture DR.. Wiley says he
is not anxious to rush into print He
said tonight, however, that altho ben
zoate of soda may not be found to be
poison by all people he does not care
to eat it with his food.
you can see," he said, when asked
as to his future movements, "that any
remarks which might make at this
time might prejudice the fight I am
for the American people in the
nature of obtaining for them the right
to be protected against the adultera-
ton of their food. This you may say,
however, that shall not be put into a
position where might be compelled to
act in an insubordinate manner"

The GrinnelI News,

Speciai to T:mes-Eerubllcan
Grinnell, Jan 25.--Mr and Mrs.
Charles Crafty, OF this city, announces
the birth of a daughter to them at their
home. on Friday evening last. Mr..
Crafty is engaged as a lnachinist IN
the Grinnell garage.
e. j. Hadley recently sold his present
residence, on the west side of Elm
street, the house being partly within
and partly without the city limits, to
Mr. McIlrath, for $500. About five
acres of land, most Of it outside the
city, were included in the deal.
The people of Grinnell are congrar-
ulating themselves upon the extraor-
binary fact that not single fire of any
of this size, has occurred during the
past year. Something over a year ago,
the dwelling of Wesley Manatt, on
North Broad street. suffered to the ex-
tent of between $1,000 and $4,000. Since
that time, while there are recorded
some twenty five or more alarms. there
has not been a single case in which 1t
was found necessary to throw water
from the hydrants. The chemical APP
paratus and a small amount Of water
applied by hand, have, I'M all cases,
been sufficient to subdue the flames.
The friends and acquaintance Of
Charles Utley, a former Grinnell boy,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. George Utley, are
indulging a very natural feeling Of
pride in a recent engineering achieve
ment accredited. to him, in the build
ing of what is claimed to be the high
est steel bridge in the state of Cali
fornia. The bridge is said to be 500
feet long and 100 feet high, and to have
been mostly designed by Mr.. Utley,
who is only 25 years of age.
The preliminaries have just been held
in the annual contest for the "Spauld-
ing Prize" for "the best presentation
Of an oratorical selection" and the
interest shown is indicated by the fact
that some eighty contestants took the
preliminary tryout. Professors Charles
Noble and R. H. Perring were the
judges in the trials; just closed. There
will be a semi-fnal trial soon, and the
final public contest will be held in
April. The prize is 500, divided into
first, second and third Of $50. $50 and
$50. This contest is open to all stu
dents, and the selection may be orig
inal or otherwise, at the option of the
candidate.
The members of Gordon Granger
post Of the G. A. r., are planning to
celebrate the birthday of Lincoln by
an evening entertainment, in which
the members of the Woman's Relief
corps and of the Sons of Veterans and
their. families, will be invited to join.
There will be an address from some
good speaker, singing, "reminiscences by
some Of the veterans. recitations by
some of the children, and a social hour
in which the veterans will serve re-
freshments to their invited guests.

three anti-Japenese bills now pending
In the California legislature, Is today
the fioor leader of the republican ma
jority In tho state senate. For years he
has been known as a servicea' lie tool
of Southern Pacific interests The anti
Japanese issue has been good enough
for any demagogue who wanted to
catch the labor vote, and 1t is believed
here that 1t is being used for that pur-
pose in the present instance.
But of vastly more Importance than
catching the Pacific labor vote for any
political party Is the preservation of
the peace of the world The president
and his advisers are sincerely anxious
to have the country make a study of
the situation in California. with a view
to apply the pressure of combined
national public opinion to crush 1t be-
fore actual harm can be done.

Chicago, Jan. DISQUALIFICATION the
first time in several weeks, the run
of cattle on the opening day, was what
could be called light. Receipts were
10000 against 1000 last Monday, and
the market was higher from the very
opening. The general advance was put
at 10@15c. Trade, however was not
very active, owing to large offerings

Hogs displayed good tone early.
and prices advanced 10c. Initial pur-
chases We're made by the shipping and
speculative elements. Packers were re-
luctant to pay the advance, the mar
ket became slow. and a portion OF the
early gain was lost before the close.
All factors are in a conspiracy to put
hog product on higher plane. A year
ago packers We're selling product daily
against their hog purchases. while now
they are out of the hedging business,
regarding a pile of meat In the cellar
as a good investment and an insurance
against the coming merchandising sea-
son. The country Is on the speculative
side OF both hog product and corn,
Spectators have taken the pit marked
away from packers and every specula-
tor is bull. Should the February hog
fall materially short pit pyrotechnics
are certain. Cash business is good ard
shipments of meat are very heavy. the
middleman having concluded that nov
is the best time to fill his shelves. The
trade is coming to THE view that the
big end of the winter hog crop has al
ready been marketed and n large pre-
portion of the supply during the next
three months will go into fresh polk
consumption. Under existing and pros
pective circumstances packers dare not
sell anything short as such action
would invite covering at a loss. The
only product on the market specula-
lively is that unloaded by longs VINO
are in a position to take substantial
profits and many of these promptly &c
invest.
Sheep.
Sheep We're strong at an advance of
10@15c. Prime lambs sold at $3.50. The
top for sheep was $3.50.
Heavy supplies of Colorados are not
for another thirty days. BY
that time the Michigan fat stuff
ought to be out of the way; also the
bulk of the nearby stuff. mostly ma
tives. Market men are not diScour
aged on account of the recent break
which is only a natural occurrence
and they are confident that the g.
cent lambs will be soon in evidence
again. There is no possible show for
low prices. as pelts and wool are bosh
selling high and with moderate re-
ceipts there is nothing but a bright
future for holders of sheep and lambs.
