Hon. Jno. Wendell after the
council had been deadlocked for
many ballots as to who should
be the presiding officer was fin
ally their choice. Mr.. Wendell
is in every way deserving OF
the honors given him as he is a
hard worker and conscientious at
all times for the interests of his
constituents
We do not share in the be-
lief of some OF our friends and
some of the members of the
Colored Progressive club that
Cap. Adamson as constable has
been urfaithful to a trust, that
he is not sincere ect. We, of
course, can be mistaken, and if
he is not all right, we are. We
have at all times found him cour-
teous and obliging as an officer
and we trust that the differen-
ces that exist between him and
the committee from the progress
sive club can be settled and all
will be better off.

DETROIT HAS BEST FUR
NlSHED HOMES IN
UNION
An Interesting Interview With the
Head of q Leading Furniture
House.

IF one II to Judge by the amount
and quality Of the furniture bought
In Detroit. the people of this city de-
vote a greater part OF their incomes
to their homes and furnish them In
better taste than the people OF any
other city In the union"
Thus spoke Mr.. Walter l. Owen, or
owen e Co., furniture dealers. In
an interview with TINES reporter.
"In further evidence OF this fact,
he continued, might be mentioned
the interest manifested In furniture
by the readers OF the Detroit news
papers, as shown by the ready re
sponse on the part or the public 70 the
announcement OF the August sale we
are now holding.
Taking the reports of conditions
among furniture stores in other parts
OF the country as a basis OF comparl-
son, we certainly feel highly battered
by the tremendously successful open
ing OF this August sale during the past
week, and we have every reason to
believe that equal success VIII attend
Il to the very last day.
The feature OF this sale that the
public seems 10 appreciate especial
Iy,g said Mr.. Owen, with emphasis, is
that In spite Of the great reductions
quoted, our easy-payment plan still
continues in force. The alertness OF
the people OF Detroit In selling upon
this opportunity to secure 500 furnf-
ture Mt a great saving argues not only
for their thriftiness, but for their o otd-
ing interest I'm the things that concern
the welfare OF their homes"

ZION CITY, Aug 4.-Eight years
eco Zion City was at the height Of
its glory. Dowie was exerting a
power such as few religious leaders
OF modern times have ever exerted,
and his ecclesiastical colony was
aourishing amazingly. Zion City's
streets were crowded. Wealth was
pouring into the Golfers of The
Christian Catholic Apostolic Church

Icon, stood dazzled by the splendid
Comp OF Dowies religious pageants.
n Now Zion City is but husk. Its
population has snrunk from over 1000

weed grown. The paint il peeling

from the Northwestern station up

Near by, It's gaunt ribs OF steel

Dowie never finished.
But this husk Of city isn't as

quiet as II looks. A bitter struggle
is going forward. The "Theocrats, I"
as the Voliva standpatters call them
selves, and the Independents" or in
surgents against Voliva's rule, are
making Zion battlefield. Also there
are near half dozen different con
gregations OF the Church of Zion,
each claiming 10 be the only orig
inal. To say nothing Of a few Metho-
dists who have gotten foothofd in
Zion.
There was excitement TO spare
when, after a campaign that came
near ending in a riot, the issue OF
the local election was found TO hang
on one or two votes That was after
the insurgents" had been in control
for two years. First the Voliva
crowd had everything, but the city
attorney. Then the board OF cleo
tions reconsidered the election and
threw out, as Illegally marked, two
theocratic ballots and one independ
ent.
That threw everything to the indie
pendents.
Since then there has been a con-
tinuous legal fight for control. The
old council independently accepted

Stern OF Harrison, Candidate.

Willis L. Stern of Logan, Harrison
county, is candidate for congress in
the Ninth district, in the convention to
be held on May l6, at Council Bluffs.
Mr.. Stern was born within few miles
of the present location of Logan, in 1850,
and has lived all his life in that county
His parents were sturdy pioneers who
came in 1857 from Chester county, Penn
sylvania, to build home in the wild
and new west. They were Quakers and
remained so during their lives. They
did their full share in developing this
cation of the first farmers club in
western Iowa, and possibly in the state.
Mr.. Stern grew to manhood on the
home farm, then branched out into
mercantile and clerical pursuits, ac-
quiring good business training by
actual experience, and for about eigh-
teen years has been actively engaged in
the real estate and abstract business,
and has wide acquaintance in his part
of the district. The father, Jacob T.
Stern, was in at the birth of the repub-
ican party, and there has been no
break in the republicanism of the family
down to the present hour. The subject
of our sketch has always contributed
literally of his time, energy and means
to aid his party. For several terms he
has been the party chairman of his
county, and his relations with all the
candidates of the party have been of
the best at all times. Being republi-
can and also protectionist, Mr.. Stern
naturally believes that home grown pro-
ducts should be given the preference,
in congressman as well as along other
lines --Nonpareil.

stiIson HutchIns Insane.

A Washington dispatch says that
Stills Hutchins multi-millionare has
become insane This calls to mind that
in an early day Hutchins edited paper
at Usage which we have since owned for
twenty years. Hutchins drifted around
a good many years and finally started a
paper at Washington City which put
him ON the road to wealth. Before
going there however he was q member
of the legislature in Missouri. He tried
for many days to get the floor but for
some reason the speaker would not re-
cognize him. So one morning Stills car
ried gun with him. Not one of the
little kind they all carried in their
pockets in those days but one about as
long as the backbone of razor back
hog. After the Chaplain had invoked
the Divine blessing on the officials and
members of the assembly, Hutchins
rose in his seat pointed his big gun at
the chair and said. mr.. Speaker" The
speaker responded quietly and prompt
ly The gentleman from Yazoo County
has the floor" After that the speaker
was always at his service.

Uncle Toms Cabin.

Good plays well played never grow
old. Last Wednesday evening the Terry
Company played Uncle Toms Cabin in
big tent set up in John Wild's pas
ture west of the Northwestern tracks.
No more out of the way location could
have been secured in the city. However
the play was we'll advertised and
large audience almost filled the big tent.
The play was worth it. There was no
long delays between acts TO make ready.
The colored actors needed no masks,
coloring matter or other make ups" to
determine race. Nature had done the
necessary act for them. And they were
actors who were there to interpret as
taught and to please as an unlimited
repertoire of specialities. The dance OF
the wells, by young 1.-the, ''colored
gemman" was speciality which deser-
we'd the generous applause it received.
The double directoire, the bejewelled-
bedizened raiment was, likely, more in
keeping with the Jewess Salome than
the swishing skirts, no matter how
gracefully they are swirled. Terry's
Company deserves the large audiences
it secures. -Tama County Democrat.

White OF Shelby, Candidate.

The News had the pleasure of call
today from Mr.. White of Harlan, candi-
date for the republican nomination for
congress in this congressional district.
He is young man of pleasing appear
ance and personality and is undoubtedly
creating good impression on his visit
to the several parts of the district. Back
of his candidacy Mr.. White has the loyal
and active support Of Shelby county, his
home county, and to this will be added
enough other votes tomake him factor
of importance in the contest when the
roll is called on the first BALLOT. The
one thing to recommend Mr.. White is
the fact that he is a republican fighter;
that he has done the active organization
work of the party and has not held aloof
and permitted others to do the work for
him. In addition to this he is young
man of intelligence and those who know
him best say that he is of Congressional
size" The News is not in accord with
Mr.. Whites fractional alignment, but,
nevertheless, considers him candidate
of no small moment in the rapidly de-
veloping contest.-Atlantic Daily News.
