JOHN C. HUBINGER , Remarkable Career of a Well-Known Western Cnpltnlint , Manufact urer nml Phllnnthroiilut. Among the leaders of the progressive element for which the midle west is famous , Mr. John C. Hubinger , of Keo- kuk , la. , reigns -without a peer. As a manufacturer , as an enterprising cap italist and as a philanthropist his fame has spread over many states , and his financial enterprises have developed many obscure towns into progressive , thrifty and wide-awake cities. Mr. Hubinger , although but 47 years of age , can look back upon scores of com mercial victories , each one of which has benefited mankind , for his liberality is as bountiful as his business sagacity is marvelous , lie was born , in New Or leans , La. , his parents being of French and German origin. When he was four years old , his family removed to Ken tucky , in which state youngHubinger received a public school education. Al most before reaching man's estate he secured patents on a number of val- nable mechanical inventions , thereby laying the foundation of his present fortune. By inclination and force of circum stances his attention was early direct ed to the manufacture of starch by im proved processes , and in the course of time he became the head of a concern having an annual business of millions of dollars. But genuine ambition never quite satisfied with existing- con ditions , works ever toward perfection , and after years of painstaking- study and research Mr. Hubinger has made o JOHN C. HUBINGER. discovery , which he considers the crowning event of his -wonderful career , and which is embodied in a new article of commerce , known as Ked Cross Starch ( Hed Cross trade mark. ) He is planning to distribute millions of packages of this starch to the housewives of America , at a merely nominal price to the consumer , in order to make its merits known without de lay. Thus , for but 5 cents two large lOc packages of Red Cross Starch may be had , together with two magnificent Shakespearean views printed in 12 T beautiful colors , or a Twentieth Cen tury Girl Calendar ; or for oaly 20 cents 10 packag-ee of the starch and the entire series of eight Shakespearean views -and one Twentdeth Century Girl Calendar views alone easily worth $1.00. Watch this paper for future premium announcements , of which every lady will certainly want to take advantage. While Mr. Hubinger vrill devote his best energies to the manufacture of this new and wonderful starch , he will not retire from the various financial enterprises in vrhich he is interested street railways , electric lighting plants and the Missisisppi Valley Telephone Co. , with 10,000 telephone subscribers in Minneapolis and St. Paul nor vrill his augmented activity interfere with his social obligations and exercise of the splendid hospitality which he dis penses at his palatial Keokuk home. Mr. Hubinger's family , consisting- himself , wife a d four children , is tie pivot around wtich his actirity re volves , and wkile fond of promoting great enterpriaas , he is still fonder of his home circle , where he spends every moment of time not taken up by busi ness or public cares.

PIKIIA.I For some time I have thought of writing to you to let you know of the great benefit I have received from the use of Lydia E. Pink- ham's Vegeta ble Compound. Soon after the birth of my first child , I com menced to have spells with my spine. Every month I grew worse and at last became so bad that I found I was gradually losing my mind. ' The doctors treated me for female troubles , but I got no better. One doctor told me that I would be insane. I was advised by a friend to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound a trial , and before I had taken all of the first bottle my neighbors noticed the change in me. "I have now taken five bottles and cannot find words sufficient to praise it. I advise every woman who is suffering from any female weakness to give it a fair trial. I thank you for your good medicine. " MRS. QTEETKUDE M. Jon SON , JONEBBOKO , TEXAS. Mrs. Parkins' letter. "I had female trouble of all kinds , had three doctors , but only grew worse.

The thin ! day of the Grand Army reunion opened with a large increase in attendance. It. is esti mated that there were fully 15,000 people on the ground.

The military pa rade was the crowning event of the state's reception to the First Regiment and the greeting extended to the soldiers as they passsd along the densely crowded street was as enthusiastic as it was possible to give. The parade was announced to move jit 0 o'clock , but there was the usual delay in getting started , caused by the late arrival of the soldiers. The stieet , car company found it impossible to transport from Hie fair grounds all the veterans who wished i to participate and others who wished to t witness the pageant. Hundreds of people walked four miles'to the city lo be on Mini' Old soldiers from the fair grounds were the first to arrive , followed later by the men of the First Regiment.

As the color bearer stepped forward , holding aloft the battle tlag of the regi ment , all of the -troops and the thousands of people on the ground united in giving three thunderous cheers.vCol. . Mulford then stepped up to the band stand and , facing the governor , turned the ( lags over to ihe state. The governor made a brief speech ofacccptancc. This concluded the morning exercises and the tropps dispersed. The flags were carried by Col. Static and Col. Lundeen to the military headquarters in the capitol building and placed in a vault. In the big tent in the afternoon Assistant Secretary of War George D. Meiklejohn lelivered an address to the members of the First Nebraska Regiment. . In opening he read the following message from President McKinley to the regiment expressing his regret at his inability to attend and person ally welcome the returning volunteers : "The Nebraska volunteers were among the first to respond to the call of the execu tive. How conspicuously they have real ized every patriotic expectation is known to their state and country. With the other splendid regiments of volunteers and reg- ularr they rendered devoted and uncom plaining service ; for months they refused to avail themselves of the privilege of mus ter out ; they sustained and strengthened the government ; they stood by the flag and kept it stainless. "At this time of home-coming and re union it is a source of deep gratification that the health of the regiment is good , its morals of the best , and that the losses sus tained have been no greater , although rel atively larger than in most of those serving in the Philippines "Our thoughts go out to the absent ones , who by sickness or death have made de voted sacrifices in the national service. The families of these brave men have our lov ing sympathy , and the heroism of their deeds will grow brighter with each passing year. "I send every good wish that the wel- cqme given to the First Nebraska may be niost generous and patriotic. " SlierilT Has a Broken Leg. i S. N.

She Is only a little black pickaninny who lives down in Georgia , She Is un- tier a dozen years In age , and until a short time ago had passed all of her life on a rural plantation. Trains and their attendant movements were utterly - ly unknown. Indeed what Phebe Ann knew of anything outside of that plantation - tation would not make the beginning of a primer. She was beinjr educated for a house servant , and hence was not permitted to roam to any great extent. She was busy about the big house all day , and at night retired to the shack set apart for her family. ! Along in the season , for some good reason , it became necessary for the ! family to move into a city. The little j negro girl was wanted , for she had j much skill in soothing the childish woes of the heir to the estate. So it was decided that she must accompany the expedition. From the time she en tered the carriage to ride to the railway station Phebe Ann was in a state of suppressed excitement. She sat beside "Miss Amy , " as she called her mistress , and -with' staring eyes took in all that passed without comment. When she was taken Into the train her wonderment was amazing. She sat gingerly on the cushions , looked out of the window and generally seemed uncertain concerning the possibilities of the future. She was silent until the train commenced to move. Then her fear took shape. She saw the landscape passing rapidly before her , and her eyes filled , her lip quivered and she snuflled audibly. "What's the matterPhebe Ann ? " asked her mistress. "Oh , Miss Amy , " wailed the picka ninny , "whah all dem houses and trees a-goin' at ? " A seat on the floor was the only means possible to quiet the fears of the child. Louisville DiSDatch.
