The first warm day of spring bring with them a desire to get out and enjoy the exhilarating air and sunshine children that have been housed up all winter are brought out and you wonder where they all came from. The heavy winter clothing is thrown aside and may shed their fannels. Then a cold wave come and people say that grip is epidemic. Colds at this season are even more dang rous than in mid-winter, as there is much more danger of pneumonia. Take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, however, and you will have nothing to fear.

Cousins Correspondents take Notice. Notice.—To our correspondents and subscribers in general, for the last 8 or 10 months we have been crowded for space for our news, owing to numerous correspondents from the different towns of the middle west and the many new towns that are clamoring to have space in our paper, also the many worthy papers, essays and poems often sent for publication and with our limited space each week, that we cannot accommodate them all, in fact we have often left out the editorials and race echoes to accommodate our outside news gathers; but many of our readers like to have editorials to read each week, therefore we have decided that we will discontinue our regular correspondents where we have less than ten actual subscribers; news can be sent from those points occasionally. We also ask our correspondents to condense each article and be brief with 'your letter. ANNUAL CONFERENCE. Rev. O. A. Johnson. The Central Missouri Annual Conference, of which Rev. O. A.

The membership has increased from 12 to 78. Rev. Johnson will leave on the 18th for Joplin, and as the members and friends have asked Rev. A. H. Higgins, D. D., the Presiding Elder, to be sure and reverend the reverend, the chances are that their wishes will be granted. Rev. Johnson is a sociable and courteous gentleman to meet and is quite a secret society man. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is Both Acceptable and Effective. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has no superior for coughs, colds and croup, and the fact that it is pleasant to take and contains nothing in any way in injurious has made it a favorite with mothers.

Ill., renominated for for Mayor Dunn again. While we do not agree with his political affiliation, yet we admire Mayor Dunne and the manly and statesman course he has taken on many great questions. We are frank and liberal enough to say and commend the course he took in refusing to preside at the Tillman meeting. Then we believe in his method of municipal government, also agree with him in controlling street cars and city traction Go. Then we commend his attitude of appointing several good colored citizens in positions. Indeed he is a broad level headed Mayor. Eliot's Narrow Position. Last week we read with great surprise the address of President Eliot of Harvard University, before the students of Berea College in Kentucky, which has been an institution of co-education of both races until the state laws prohibited it. Then professor Eliot going down there and saying that co-education was the thing and colored students should not be allowed to attend with white students, and said the only reason Harvard did not debar them was there so very few there. We do not agree with this distinguished scholar, for he gave no sound reason for seperation. Certainly education broadens a man and makes him free. The two races must live, work, learn, trade and build up human character together here; why not educate together. We speak the same tongue, live under the same flag and pay tribute to the same government. Then let us all join hands together for the good of all the American children. We are much surprised at the president of so great an institution to have become so narrow or talking to suit the narrow whims of the prejudiced South. MISSOURI Each recurring session of the Missouri legislature some little prejudiced would-be legislator will introduce a bill to compel the railroads to operate separate cars for the races. True the bills have always been defeated by the good, honest and right thinking men, regardless of party. So we hope the present bill that is now pending will be defeated, although this time the bill has already passed the senate. While we deplore the uncouth action and bad conduct of a few of our people on those cars, but don't condemn the many for the way a few bad ones may act; for there are many bad white people and you do not condemn the white race for what their bad ones does. Therefore we ask you to judge us by our merits. The good honest citizen must join hand in hand to route out sin, ignorance and rowdyism in all classes and THE GLANSMAN. This unreasonable, fire eating Negro hating play was presented at one of our local opera houses last Wednesday. The colored people, almost as a whole, protested against it being put on; while their protest was right, just and even felt, they did succeed in getting a resolution through the city council whereby it will be unlawful for it or similar plays to be given here. This resolution was passed last Monday through the special effort of R. N. Hyde, S. Joe Brown, J. C. Williams and other race men. Mr. Brown framed the resolution which is to the credit of our race. After the play was given the Mayor, Geo. W. Mattern, who attended, gave an interview in the evening paper that there was nothing bad about it. We must say that our Mayor is dull of comprehension or densely prejudiced, (as some of his past actions have proven the latter), or else he is framing his way to veto the resolution which prohibits the play in our city; but the colored people know this office holder so well, need not be surprised at anything he may say or do. CLINTON BRIEFS Charlie is dead, was the news that went over the city to the friends of Charles Williams who has been ill with pneumonia for the past two months, on last Friday afternoon, the end coming at the noon hour of that day, his death took place less than a week after the passing away of his father Jas.

Norman Payne is entertaining his sister Mrs. Burns and son of champagne, ill, who are informed will no doubt make this city their future home.

Thompson have moved to their new home on West Eight Avenue which they have recently purchased. A few friends of Mrs. Jesse Mitchell went to Fulton Friday tendering her a surprise in honor of her 20th wedding anniversary, she was the recipient of some beautiful presents appropriate to the location.

The ladies of the Tousaint L. Overture club and a few friends will go to Clinton Thursday and spend the afternoon with Mrs. Gertrude Culbertson the state Presidency.

The decoration were of purple and white. The refreshments were delicious, tiny baskets of violets were presented to each guest as souvenirs. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. Mrs. M. C. Terrell presented "The Bright Side of a Dark Subject," to a large and appreciative audience in the Institute auditorium on the evening of February 23nd. As this cultured, refined and brilliant woman stood before her audience, and later, as in the circle of her friends, the president and faculty, the conversation rapidly turned upon the great problems of the age and the questions of the home, one could not feel otherwise than proud and happy over the logical chain of national events occurring in the month of February that indisolubly connect and bind the names, life and character of George Washington, Father of his country, Abraham Lincoln, emancipator of a race, Frederic Douglass, leader of the American Negro, and Mary Church Terrell, flower of Afro-American Womanhood. Among the many, many excellent points in the lecture, one, that teacher impressed of history, naturally, forly impressed the writer, was the stress which the speaker placed upon the value of the study of history. honorable and valuable part of the Negro has played in the making of this country, his bravery as a soldier, his loyalty in war and in peace, are studious avoided by the American historian. We wish in this article to emphasize the before mentioned point, the value of the study of history, referred to as "a people without a history," this in itself is quite sufficient to lessen the self respect of a people unschooled in taking those broad views of men and affairs that some only with wide reading along historical lines. Extensive study of ancient civilization will raise the Negro's respect for himself and for his race, as he learns of the enslaved condition, enforced degradation and bitter persecution of other races, the Anglo Saxon included. Knowledge of the slow and painful process by which step by step, slowing toiling upward through the centuries, these races have thrown off the yoke of bondage and have developed into the foremost nations of the world, will help us as a people toward that constructive patience, so necessary in the meeting of a race or an individual. We advisedly used the expression constructive patience, for mere patience wottle kittlite, if unaccompanied by initiative power of the individual, or race to do things! Reading clubs, literary societies and personal effort will do much good along the line indicated by urging the study of Universal History: Philosophy of History, and kindred studies; and will be richly rewarded for labor expended in the study of the Egyptians, Ethiopians, and other Ancient inhabitants of Africa, as well as in that of the long exploited Greeks and Romans, and when, as in the case of the late Frederick Douglass, and possibly a few others of our race, we are financially, strong enough to send our own scholars, men and women of education, to drive in the ruins of the Nile Valley and other portions of Africa, there may be some starting revelations. A very pleasing and instructive feature of life at Lincoln Institute is the after dinner talk, or better, conversations, of President Allen and the students, during which time current topics, as brought forth in the daily papers, standard magazines, and high class books, come up for discussion and comment. Longfellow Day was thus appropriately observed and has been followed by afternoons with Holmes, Lowell, Tennyson and Emerson, each one of which was veritably "a feast of reason and flow of the soul," long to be remembered by all present.

Judge McPherson of Federal Court Saaicen tsanortank Ralinn. Des Moines.—Declaring that a city Js bound to repay borrowed money the same as an Individual, Judge Smith MePherson In federal court held tat the clty of Marshalltown must eredit the Glucose Sugar Refln- §ng company of that efty with {ts taxes as repayment of $25,000 bor Towed to constrict a sewer. The court overruled cemurrers of the city fo this case, which has attracted great attention, for it Involves the Tigits of a elty to repudiate a debt after contracting one. | When people living below Marshall town on the lowa iver threatened Gamage sults If the sewage from the ‘klucose works was continued to emrty ‘nto the river, the elty and company got together to dig a sewer. ‘The company contributed $25,000 to the fewer on condition that Its taxes bo vemitted until repald. Two years later the county treasurer collected the taxes and the company for three years pald in $14,016.00 ag taxes. It asked that these payments be eredite to it ou {ts loan, and this the elty re- furod to do. The latter sought to re pudlate the entire contract, claiming ‘that since a portion of the taxes go to the schools and rart to the county the elty could not legally make the necessary remission, The court holds, however, that the contract must stand ‘and that while the city bad no power to exempt the company from taxatton Mt has the power to creiit the taxes ‘on the dett it owes the company.

CHILDREN TORTURED. Girl Had Running Sores from Eczema Boy Tortured by Polson Oak— ‘Both Cured by Cutlcura. “Last year, after having my little irl treated by a very prominent phy- slclan for an obstinate case of ec: ema, I resorted to the Cuticura Rem- edies, and was so well pleasod with the almost instantancous relief afforé- ed that we discarded the physician's Prescription and relied entirely on the Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Olnt- ment, and Cutlcura Pills. When we commenced with tho Cuticura Reme- les her fect and limbs wore covered with running sores, In about alz ‘weeks we had hor completely well, and there has been no recurrence of the trouble. “In July of this year a little boy fn our family poisoned his hands and ‘arms with polson oak, and in twenty: four hours bis hands and arms were 8 mass of torturing sores. We used only the Cuticura Remedies, washing his hands and arms with the Cuticura Soap, and anointing them with the Cuticura Ointment, and then gave him the Cutlcura Resolvent, In about three weeks his hands and arms healed up. So we have lots of cause for fecling grateful for the Cu- tleura Remedies. We find that the Caticura Remedios aro a valuable household standby, living as we do twelve miles from a doctor.

Probably Shakespeare did his own thinking on questions of religion, sald Uttle, and conformed strictly to the ex- {ating order. Still we question it he ‘was a good churchgoer. The town and church of Stratford had a decided bent toward Presbyterlaniam, and there is reason to think that he did not get fon well with it in this respect. Him- ‘self the wisest of preachers, he does ‘not seem to have been fond of preach- Ing. That which sounds most like it and very wise {t ts—comes from Polonlus, whom he :lls “a prating old fool.” We fear that when he walked to church with hie wife he went no farther than the porch, but strolled along the Avon, where he was found by Susanna and Judith on “a grassy bank” in close convorso with “daisies pied and violets blue,” and “herbo- Grace” as’ became Sunday., And in winter he was not sorry “when cough- Ing drowned the parson’s saw.” The preacher and the poet have never got on well together, and will not until they aro identically the same person, 8 Cardinal Newman says; and they must not divide and antagonize what God have joined together.—Theodore TT, Munger in the February Atlantic.
