"What is August Flower for?"
As easily answered as asked. It is
for Dyspepsia. It is a special rem-
«dy for the Stomach and Liver.—
Nothing more than this. We believe
August Flower cures Dyspepsia.
We know it will. We have reasons
for knowing it. To-day it has an
honored place in every town and
country t.tore, possesses one of the
largest manufacturing plants in the
country, and sells everywhere. The
reason is simple. It does one thing,
and does it right. It cures dyspepsia®

The funeral of Alexander Clark, late
Minister of the United States to Li-
beria, which was held in Muscatine,
I nva, recently, serves to recall the
career of a really remarkable man.
Alexander Clark was the most distin-
guished, as he was the most forceful
and wealthiest, colored man in Iowa,
lie was a leader and an inspiration to
succesae* nerve
race,
VujaifflsreEm;
to accentuate tho obstacles ho
ETirmouuted. He was known as "the
colored orator of the West," he had
taken high rank in the Masonic order,
lie had dabbled actively and influen-
tial^ in politics, he had risen toa posi-
tion of influence. Yet tho father of
this man was a slave. Alexander was
born Feb, 25, lS'.'O, in Washington
count}'. Tenn. His father was the
son of his master, an Irishman of
the name of George Darner.
Tho boy Alexander h;id few oppor-
tunities for systematic study, and at 13
lie was working in a barber shop in
Cincinnati. Here he attended school
in a desultory way until October, 1841,
when he became a bartender on the old
steamer George Washington. lint life
on the river did not suit him, and in
1S42 he settled in Muscatine, then a
raw frontier town, and opened a
barber shop, which he conducted
until 1808. lie had been frugal all
these years, and so when ill-health
menaced him ho had a little capital
saved up with which to embark in a
more active avocation. lie bought a
little town property, leased timber
lands, contracted to supply si earners
on tho river with wood, speculated
here and there when opportunity
offered tó earn an honest penny—and
so came finally to a position of inde-
pendence bordering on aftluence.
It was the exigency of war.however,
which lirst called young Clark into
prominence. He enlisted in lSii.i in the
First Iowa colored cavalry and received
the appointment of sergeant-major,but
was refused muster on account of
physical disability. Deterred from p\>
intf to the front he became one of the
most active agents in the West iu
gathering recruits for the army.
In 180!) he was appointed by the col-
ored State convention a delegate to the
National Republican convention of his
race at Washington, and by this latter
organization he was appointed chair-
man of the committee charged with
the duty of bringing to the attention
of Congress the claims of colored
soldiers and sailors toan equality with
their white eopatriots in the matter of
pensions and bounties. Another honor
bestowed upon him in this convention
was his appointment «-■ a member of
the committee to wait upon President
Grant and Vice-President Colfax to
tender to them the congratulations of
the colored people of the United States
upon their election.
In 1800 he was Vice-President of the
Iowa Republican convention, and from
then on he was usually a delegate and
could generally be heard upon the
floor at some time during the delibera-
tions. In 187:.' he was appointed by
the Republican State convention
coming after might And the struggle
not so hard. In this he was largely
successful, for he will be remembered
n a most upright man and cituen ami
his example will Ion? remain to afford
encouragement to ether selfrrcllaul
ambitious member of his race.
