Booker T, Washington.

Booker T. Washington has full
filled that which was said of the
man dilligent in business, he has
stood before kings. More than
that, he has outrun the Scripture,
for he has sat at meat with royalty.
The honor paid to the head Of
Tnskegee in Denmark is only as a
breaking down OF precedent and
prejudice in an older land where a
throne still stands; in this country
where he was born a slave, he has
already won such respect and hon
Orable attention as are only obtain
ed by the white. men best endowed
by nature and elevated by personal
struggle to the top. The King OF
Denmark honored the life OF
black man devoted to the better
ment Of his race; and in so doing,
gave evidence of lofty spirit and
a royal simplicity of purpose

perior Court for Sussex County be
gan on Monday, October 10th.
The case of the Moline Jewelry
Company of Iowa City, Iowa, vs..
L. J. Warrington Of Seaford, was
the first to come up, and was dis
posed of by the jury returning a
verdict in favor of the defendant.
The company claimed Warrington
owed them S2T6 70 for jewelry, but

which Warrington signed, was a
deceptive one.
Another case of the same kind

same Company tried to recover the
same amount from the firm of Of
well, Lowe & Tull of Laurel The

dants.

next to the church, which he did
not purchase, and was used as
burial ground, and it is alleged he
had to remove some of the tomb
stones and bushes. The citizens
of the town, and officials of the
church objected to this and insti-
tuted legal proceedings against
Wright, with the result stated |
above.

luhl from Doretta c. Lehmkuhl,

Ancient Customs of Living.

For examples of ancient customs
and modes of living one is not
obliged to wander far beyond the
confines of Gutenberg at the pres
ent time, says the Press. A trip
across the river to Gen Haven will
suffice. There one will find a num-
Der of native Mexicans and their
families, the men being employed as
section laborers by the Burlington
road. The company furnishes them
with cars in which they live, but
this manner of shelter means to
them, no doubt, little more than a
mere existence and furnishes none
of the comforts of an adobe hut. On
wash days the women may be
found at the rivers edge, and in
stead of employing the ordinary
dashboard in their embarrassing
process, use large fiat rock. They
appear Industrious and frugal and
are comparatively bright intellectu-
ally, but yet cling to the ancient
customs characteristic of their race.

New Motor Car Running.

The new gasoline motor car on
the Great Western made it's first
trip from Rochester to Usage and
back one day last week 1t was a
source of great curiosity all along
the line and is still an attraction
A good many hundred passengers
have been people who were merely
riding to see how it goes. Inc car
is about sixty feet long, built OF
steel, and with its pointed stem and
rounded stern and port hole win
dows. it reminds one of little lake
steamer. Inside it is very attrac-
tive, with wide comfortable seats
and the conspicuous absence of coal
dust There are three compart-
ments besides the engine room, bag
gage, smoker and coach. 1t still
makes but one trip day, from
Rochester, arriving at 4:45, but the
schedule will be changed soon, Civ
ing Usage a morning and afternoon
car.
This is what we ought to have
between DEBORAH and Calmar.

McGREGOR HAS MURDER SCARE
Railroad Men Report Seeing Two
Italians Carrying Away a Body.

McGregor, Ia, Aug. 19.-Train-
men on a train going west saw two
Italians carrying a body up over
the bluff west of the city, and be-
lieved from the mems actions that
the man they carried was dead.
They reported the occurrence to the
authorities who are investigating.
There is camp of Italians west of
the city, but the men in the camp
are battling the authorities by their
reticence. 1t is learned, however,
that there has been trouble in the
camp between two factions and it
is believed there was a fight Thurs
day night. The authorities are in
formed by the foremen that sew
eral members of the gang are miss
ing. 1t is believed they are the
perpetrators of the deed. and tele-
grams have been sent to adjacent
cities to watch the trains and round
the fugitives up. No body has been
discovered, and whether or not
there is anyone missing Will not be
known until the men in The gang
are rounded up.

Base Ball at Mason City.

Mason City is going to play win

signed-a manager, pitcher and
catcher. "Silent" Corners is the
name of the new manager. Those
who are interested in base ball
dope have been apprised through
the daily papers of Chicago and
elsewhere that the three hired by
Mason City were from the Ke-
vance team. They were set aside
as deserters and were each fined
with five others 500 and SIS each.

story you get an entirely different
version. They are bunch of good

Fast Enough at That.

There seems to be very few who
really know anything about auto
mobile speeds permissible in Iowa.
Section 1871 of the code says that
"in the close built up" portions of
the city the speed shall not exceed
ten miles an hour, in other parts OF
the city fifteen miles an hour and
outside of the cities and villages,
not to exceed twenty miles an hour
The law also says that the speed
shall not be greater than is "rea-
sonable and proper" That is at
crossings, intersections, descents,
curves, bridges and other places of
like nature, the vehicle shall be
under control and operated at a
less speed than hereinbefore speci-
fed" That is the whole law

The Skin and Not the Blood.

Until recently it has been gen.
orally accepted proposition that &C.
zema was a disease of the blood,
and that in order to cure 1t, the
blood must be purified and enriched
by internal remedies. Careful ex-
periments and scientific investiga-
tions have taught us that eczema
is purely skin disease, and durable
through the skin alone. A great
majority of persons aM,icted with
eczema have no other ailment,
which is accepted as positive proof
that it is purely skin disease
Having established this fact, the
chemists of the American Drug and
Press Association set about to COM
pound a prescription that would
successfully cope with this disease
and after much investigating
brought out Meritol Eczema Rene
dy, the effect of which Is marvellous.
III you are afflicted with this loath-
some disease, do not delay trying
Meritol Eczema Remedy. You will
be surprised at its prompt action,
its soothing effect and its perman-
eat results. Brunt & Parman are
commissioned by the association to
sell It In DEBORAH. 80,

42S Grains on Dat Straw.

There is just now a good deal of
interest in several parts of the
state over the number of grains
that can be raised on an oat straw.
At one time loo grains were con-
sidered big. j. A. Vipond of AL
coma took an interest in the matter
and he found one in his field that
numbered 1875 perfect grains, and
in the entire field there were few
less than 100. Not to be beaten
without some effort, Frank "olfe,
who resides in Prairie township in
Kossuth county, went into his field
and pulled one stalk that has 214
double grains, making total of
42S, and this was from one oat
seed. The head of the straw is a
little over fifteen inches long. For
fear this may be contradicted by
some doubling Thomas, the stalk is
now on exhibition in the Kunz
grain Office at Wesley.

Writing in Packages.

The government has fixed the
maximum fine for placing writ
ing in packages sent through the
mails at 500. Heretofore there
was penalty of $40 for any one
who committed the offence. Then
it was only necessary to hunt out
the offender, and If he acknowledg-
ed his mistake. make him pay $40
But now the fine has been raised
from $40 to 500 and has become
statute. In case of an offence
under the law, it is now necessary
to bring the offender up before the
court and the case heard. If he is
found guilty the Judge may impose
a fine as great as 500 and not less
than $40. So don't write on news
