KANN'S FALL SALE
IS GREAT SUCCESS
Washington Buyers Favor
Coat Suits Over One

They looked at dresses. but they

And the prophecies Of the managers
were fulfilled. for on the first day Of
the three-day fall opening Of S. Kann,
Sons & Co, the New York idea about
one-piece gowns was given a mighty de-
feat and victory perched upon the racks
OF the coat suits.
I'VE sold more high-priced suits yes
terday than ever before in one day since
the store opened" said the head man
in the gowns department this morning.
Proves Former Assertion.
'It goes to prove" he continued,
that we were right about the coat
suit proposition and that New York was
wrong. We mad some Of the hands9mest
gowns on display We have ever shown,

Ons OF the first acts of the mob which
had been made drunk before being
turned loose for the murderous work,
was TO rush to the synagogue. where the
rabbi was butchered and the congrega-
ton driven from the building. The edi-
fee was then demolished.
After the destruction OF the syna-
gogue the mob divided into smaller
groups and invaded the homes OF the
Hebrews. The chief weapons " ere axes,
clubs. and iron bars, though a few
were armed with guns and revolvers.
Every home visited was sacked, the
furniture tossed into the sreets and set
aflre. Many OF the houses also were
fired, but the mob had been previously
warned against burning the houses, for
fear that the entire town would be de-
stroyed.
whenever the rioters showed signs Of
tagging energy the leaders called them

attacked and several were killed.
Authorities Are Passive.

against the defenseless Hebrews. Dur

outrage, the authorities passIveIy watch

A GREAT MAN GONE.
A Friend of John Brown and Operated
the Underground Railroad During
Slavery Days. !.

Mr.. Isaac Brandt, one OF the
most highly esteemed aud notable
characters in our city and state,
died very suddenly Sunday night
of apoplexy. He died without
much suffering. He retired about
10 o'clock feeling swell and jov-
al as was his disposition, and
about 20 minutes later his daugh-
ter heard noise in his room and
went there and found him dead.
Thus ends the life Of one Of our
most beloved BY all, and most
interesting pioneers Of Des Mcines
and Iowa. He was born ia Lam
cester. Ohio April Z 1927; came
to Des Moines ii 1856 in an OK
team, where he has made his
nome ever since; always working
for the good Of his fellowman
aud the growth of Des Moines
He done SO much for the public
parks; a great big hearted man;

the last of the old guards who
during slavery times spoke, work
ed and conducted the Iowa head
quarters for the fugative bond
men; a very personal friend of
John Brown. He has the gate
over which he bade John Brown
farewell on his raid. He was a
member of the 18th G. A., auth
q of the bill to build our present
State Capitol; was appointed
postmaster of Des Moines by
President Harrison, and we can
say that he had more colored men
in the postoffice ser vice than any
other postmaster; was deputy
state treasurer for six years, and
city park Commissioners. He was, was,
a pure, high-minded, temperate
and 4 christian gentleman. The
funeral was held Tuesday from

In the police and fire departments OF the
greater city. From 1877 to 1892 only
about nine appear to gave had the
courage 10 take the examination for
the police force, and every one Of these
passed and served with credit. We are
indebted to William n Ryerson of
Yonkers, N. u, for valuable data on
this subject. 1t will be revelation
perhaps to many who hare not kept
themselves informed on this subject.
The first negro appoin on tho police
force in New York was ChrfstoDAef
Gibbons. who was six feet four inches
in height and a yeritable Hercules. He
served twenty-five years as a regular
policeman in the city Of Brooklyn and
was retired on pension.
At one time 1t was a popular BELIEF
that the Negro was moral coward
and would not fight. The contrary Is
true, for when the Negro as soldier
or policeman Is assured that the ma,
ton or the state will sustain him he
will fight at the drop Of the hat. even
II he has to. drop the hat himself.
In an effort to discourage Negroes
from seeking appointment on the po.
lice force Chris Gibbons was sent
out onsa beat where the worst gang
Of Irish toughs in Brooklyn assem-
bled daily and nightly.
1t was secretly believed that If Glib
bons was sent to this beat the gang
Swn,,ld 1fafipvyrn him 40 hndly that his
remains would defy Identification and
that other Negroes would take the cue
and look for jobs elsewhere. So he
was sent to 1t to be "done up" But
his record shows that he was not that
kind Of man. He went after that
gang Of ruffians as ordered and took
two Of them, the ringleader and bis
unlcrstudy, one under each arm,
distance Of two blocks to the station.
