The National Negro Business League of which Booker T. Washington is President, will hold its 8th annual session in Topeka, Kansas, this year; the dates having been fixed for Aug. 14th, 15th and 16th. It is the first time in the history of the organization, that it has seen fit to hold a session so far west as Kansas. This League, as is generally known, is composed of many of the best, most influential and industrious men and women of the race, and we may say in a large measure, represents the wealth, business acumen and intelligence of the race. And when we say intelligence, we do not mean to confine the terms to literary attainments, but we mean that class of men and women who do things, who accomplish something for themselves, and are a living and practical example to the commercial and business world, that could well be emulated. Men and women of every livelihood are represented in the great concourse of industry that is soon to invade, for the first time, the broad and inviting plains of historic Kansas. What will the West do? To what M. I. Gordon of Ottumwa, Iowa. Church for the Des Moines District. In 1856, came with his parents to town school.

Is it not the most opportune moment to place ourselves favorable before those of the more distant parts, who are soon to become our guests? It will be a splendid opportunity for the North, South, East and West, to touch the cord of common brotherhood and for three days drink from the same fountain that will be filled with the lessons of economy, thrift and industry. There has never been a time in the history of this republic when there was a greater necessity for a common understanding; an understanding as to the best methods of making a life worth living. Of making a life, not only commendable to ourselves or one's own country, but to the world. The program for this session will be ripe with seed thoughts, thoughts which when once dropped, will take root and send forth a hundred fold. The benefits to be derived from this meeting, especially to the west, is incalculable. The opportunity will not, unless we begin at once to look, be seen until it is past. To the end, therefore, that we in west, especially, may be able to grasp and hold all the benefits that are to be derived from the meeting, it is urged that in each community, (city and country alike) that Leagues — Business men's Leagues be organized and delegates elected at once to attend this meeting, and all business men and women put forth every possible method to be in attendance and hear the program. The committee on transportation is assured of a rate of not over 1 1/2 fare for the round trip for the benefit of those who may avail themselves of the opportunity. Topeka most heartily extends to all, her warmest and best right hand. The necessary committees have been appointed and ample accommodations for all will be provided. A most hearty reception will be extended. Further information will be given by addressing Ira O. Guy, 1st. Vice President, National Negro Business League, at 311 West 14th street, Topeka, Kauasus. OBITUARY. Mr Peter Bass of Clive, Iowa, died at his home last Tuesday morning. He had been sick for a long time but seemed to be improving, when the end of a long and useful life came peaceful. He was born in Ohio 69 years ago, moved to Indiana, then to Illinois, then to Fayette county Iowa, and about 15 years ago to our county where he has lived on his farm. He owns some good valuable real estate and a home in Clive Iowa. His wife died only a few months ago; thus this happy couple had lived together for many years. He was highly esteemed by all who knew him as was testified by all his white neighbors who attended the funeral. Rev H. W. Porter preached the funeral. Mr. Bass was a member of the United Brethren church and was a good citizen and neighbor. He leaves three children, Chester, Miss Mabel and Mrs. John W. Jackson. Do Not Neglect the Children. At this season of the year the first unnatural looseness of a child's bowels should have immediate attention.

Francisco Jose, who was born in 1788, is still alive and at work, and a good shot with the rifle, at Oporto, Portugal. He served in the Portuguese army, which in 1810 opposed the invasion of the French under Napoleon I. Authorities on the subject have estimated that only about 100,000 survivors of the civil war have not been pensioned. Of the men who actually served in that struggle it is estimated that 783,000 are living to-day, and that out of this number 675,000 are on the pension roll. Theodore N.

We sometimes see in the city papers much fun poked at the country press for its insignificant personal items.

A bushel average 200 oysters, so that at least 100,000,000 oysters were eaten there between September 1, 1905, and the end of April. These figures mean 8,300,000 "stews" or as many "fries." if they are on hotel, restaurant or family tables. But that would be only two meals of oysters in a winter for every man, woman and child in the greater city. Very few have ever seen the kaiser on foot, except on his yacht, the Hohenzollern.

WEST CASE GOES TO JURY. Women Engage in Encounter in Court House. Des Moine.—It is now up to the jury in Judge Brennan's court to determine whether or not Mrs. Fred West murdered baby Jim with laudanum at the West baby farm October SCHOOL MATES OUTSHONE HERE Popular Fifteen-Year-Old School Mail Commits Suicide. Woodward.—Unable to have all the fine clothes her fancy craved, an down-hearted because she could no dress as the other girls did, prettily 18-year-old Ebbe Jacobson committe The case went to the jury at 10:30 Thursday morning. Assistant County Attorney Robert Brennan, the closing argument, told the state, completed his speech at 10 o'clock. Judge Brennan then read his instructions and the jury retired in the custody of Hallifield County Judge. While Judge Brennan was reading his instructions, Miss Gretchen West, the daughter of the defendant, burst into an uncontrollable torrent, her mother until Mrs. El. Kauffour, with tears streaming from her own eyes, led the young girl away. But throughout the trying ordeal Mrs. Brennan unmoved. When Judge Brennan read the three forms of verdict, the first of which provided that death should be the penalty in case the jury found Mrs. West guilty, Mrs. West did not bat an Sounds of an argument from the jury room, the anxious curiosity of a mighty throng and a rumor that acquaintal may be the verdict—those are the main points in the trial, and the trial, Bailiff off DeFord took the panel of twelvemen to the Slims Avenue cafe for lunch and at 12:45 the jury fled back into their room again, closely guarded. Since that time they have been studying the exhibits in the case and caring for the victims, and the instructions of the judge. A rumor current around the court house Thursday afternoon is that the jury will acquit. But the sounds of the courtroom and the doors fail to prove a decision one way or the other. In the court rooms the crowds surge back and forth, impatiently awaiting the end of the long process. The feature of Thursday's session was an encounter between Mrs. Lee Moses and Mrs. Josie Stanley, which occurred in the courtroom immediately after the jury retired. The women pased the lie between them and but for the timely interference and Mrs. Moses' husband they would have come to blows. The trouble resulted from an attempt of the defense to re-open the case and have Mrs. Moses' statement to her which conflicted with her testimony on the witness stand. Judge Brennan overruled the motion to bring in the additional evidence. Mrs. Moses was standing just outside the court room door talking to Mrs. West and her friends, when Mrs. Moses come up. She accused Mrs. Stanley and Mrs. Moses and Mrs. Stanley retorted that she simply intended to tell the truth. MAYOR PURIFIES ROCKWELL. Rood Clampa Lid on and Clinches it Tight from Beneath. Rockwell City.—The lid is on. May Rood, who has been appointed mayor to fill out the expired term of Mayor Cahalan who resigned in October, has instituted a campaign against the lawlessness of the town and has announced his ultimatum to drunks, users of profane language and to the public to be a couple of young fellows who defied the police and after imbibing freely, proclaimed their intention of running the town. The police were notified either to arrest the men or to arrest the women, and a hand to hand battle. After a hearing and a fine of $25 and costs, peace reigns. The public is highly elated over the prompt action of the mayor in suppressing lawlessness on the streets and in arresting him in his endeavor to get officers who will do their sworn duty. ARM BROKEN BUT CHILD PLAYS Wouldn't Tell for Fear Her Mother Wouldn't Step on the Fun Des Moines—With her left arm broken. Little seven-year-old Lois Lloiseau, daughter of Louis Lloiseau of the Co-operative Creamery company, played at the Gass home at Fourteenth and Des Moines at Fifteenth, telling out telling of the accident.

So Claims George Mengel, Rich Dave enport Mag. Davenport.—Whether or not Blanch Meir Reutem Mengel, a noticed actress, is the wife of George Mengel, the wealthy Davenport brewer, now 60 years of age, is the question Judge James W. Bollinger of the district court is seeking to answer by untangling a web of marital complications such as appeals against the Mengel and the actress, who is young and beautiful, while he is gray and 60, were secretly married in Aledo, Ill., in 1905. The young woman had been previously married to Hans Reutem, a German actor, and was married to the Mengel, and had that marriage annulled. Now Mengel seeks to have that decree set aside, alleging that Mrs. Reutem had conspired with her husband to get the divorce and marry him for his money. If the Reutem divorce is set aside, the Mengel will be freed from the bonds that have proved irksome and expensive, as his young wife's gay life is said to have made large inroads into his fortune. Questions of purityion further conspire the case and Judge Bollinger adjourned it for twenty days to permit of further investigation. FACES AN OLD INDICTMENT.

Steuenberg and Many Others.) Boise, Idaho.—Alfred Horsley, alias Harry Orchard, the actual assassin of Frank Steuenberg, went on the stand Wednesday as a witness against William D. Haywood, and made public confession of a long chain of brutal revolting crimes, done, he said, at the inspiration and for the pay of the leaders of the Western Federation of Miners. An undertaking by the special prosecutors for the state that they would, by later proof and connection, legitimize his testimony opened the way like a floodgate to the whole diabolical story and throughout the entire day Orchard went on from crime recital to crime recital, each succeeding one seemingly more revolting than those that had come before. country, and then Hawley down to the destruction of the Hill and Sullivan mine.

Orchard confessed that as a member of the mob that wrecked the Bunker Hill and Sullivan mill in the Cœur d'Alenes he lighted one of the fires that carried fire to the giant explosion; confessed that he set the death trap in the Cœur d'Alenes and blew out the lives of Superintendent McCormick and Foreman Beck; confessed that because he had not been paid for his first attempt at violence in the Vindicator mine he had been treacherous to his associates by warning the managers of the Florence & Cripple Creek railway that there was a plot to blow up their trains; confessed that he cruelly fired three charges of buckshot into the body of Detective Lyte Gregory, of Denver, killing him instantly; confessed that for days he stalked G政. Peabody about Denver, waiting a chance to kill him; confessed that he and Steve Adams set and discharged the mine that instantly killed 14 men, and confessed that, failing in an attempt to poison Fred Bradley, of San Francisco, he blew him and his house up with a bomb of gelatin. And he has more brutal crimes to tell that will bring his bloody career down to its end at Caldwell, where with a great bomb he killed Gov. Gavin Buckingham on Monday, Tuesday, for he is to resume the stand when the district court sits again. Crowd Sickened by Recital. The story was told to a ten-serviced, rigid crowd that watched with staring eyes for every move and word of the confessing witness; a crowd that was skicked and weary of its disgusting details long before James H. Hawley, pleading illness of himself at three o'clock in the afternoon, secured adjournment for the day. Orchard retained control of himself almost from the moment he took the stand, and if he suffered much he did not show it. His eyes met those of Horsley, and the two gazed fixedly at each other. There were a few preliminaries as to Horsley's birthplace and real name and his first days in the North Idaho SAYS HE MURDERED WOMAN. George Kadelbach Writes Letter Confessing, Minnesota Crime. Minneapolis, Minn. — George Kadelbach, brother-in-law of Mrs. Catherine McCarthy, has made what purports to be a written confession of the killing of Mrs. McCarthy, who was found dead in a well, to his brother-in-law, Dena McCarthy, the lover. In this letter he said he was contemplating suicide. Posses are searchips in the vicinity of the village of Long Lake, but no trace of the man has been found. In this remarkable letter Kadelbach claims Mrs. McCarthy begged him to kill her and kill himself, and that he was on his road to hell. The police believe the confession is a ruse to throw them off the track. For South Dakota's Capitol. Pierre, S. D. — The contract for the building of the new state capitol was let Wednesday to O. H.

He told of seizure of the city by the attack upon the mines, and concluding, said: "I lit all of the fusen myself." Destruction of Vindicator Mine. Horsley then told of his flight into Montana and of various journeys in the western country until he turned up in Cripple Creek in 1902, went to work in the mines and joined the Western Federation of Miners again. The witness told of the plot to blow up the Vindicator and the strike began he went down into the mine "high grading," and there discovered a quantity of powder. He reported this to Davis, and there, he said, began the plot to do violence in the mine.

He swore that Haywood paid him $300 for blowing up the Vindicator mine. Next came the making of two bombs that were tossed into the coal heap at the Vindicator mine, but, he were heard from again, and there a direction to confess that the Vindicator mine he had informed the railway management of a plot to blow up its trains carrying munition men. Next the related how he journeyed to southern Colorado as a guard to Moyer. After the noon recess the witness told of his journey with Moyer and his return to Denver, where it was suggested, he said, that he kill Gov. Peabody. He said he picked Steve Adams to aid him, and together they stalked the governor between the capitol building and his home, trying for a shot at him with cut-off shotguns. Haywood and Pettibone were in the plot and furnished the witness with money from time to time to help. The plot failed because Horsley and Adams followed the marriage containing the plot to the Peabody home and excited auspicious. Next came a plot to dynamite Peabody, and Horsley said they made a bomb, but gave the plan up at the suggestion of Haywood, who was in fear that they would all be arrested. He said he and Adams were told to lay off for a time, but meantime Petitbone suggested that they kill Lyte Gregory, who had been a deputy sheriff, and had given testimony against some of the members of the federation. How Gregory Was Murdered. The witness then detailed the relentless trailing of Gregory and his final murder. "Gregory turned and backed up against a fence," said the witness, "as if to draw a gun, and shot him three times. It certainly killed him." This tale nowowerly brutal man hunting and killing seemed to play with greater intensity upon the nerves of the men and women who sat listening to Horsley than any of the others and perceptible shudder went through the room as he calmly took the shooting. It was the only place where a victim had been actually faced. The others had been done to death by mechanical and chemical condictions. Then came the frightful tragedy at Independence, followed by the flight to Wyoming and after that the trip to San Francisco for the purpose of killing Bradley. Orchard swore that after his visit to Denver, when he got the money for killing McCormick and Beck, he was constantly in communication with and in the of either Haywood, Moyer, Pettibone, Simpkins or Davis; that one or all of them varied his various crimes, and that at all meetings held after each crime his accounts had been warmly commended. The first of the witnesses called Wednesday was J. M. Brunzell, a hotel proprietor of Caldwell, Idaho which is between Boise and Caldwell. Brunzell identified the names of Thomas Hogan and J. L. Simpkins in his hotel proprietor for November, 1905. Hogan, or Orchard, was at the hotel with Simpkins on November 13. The presence of Simpkins at Nampa on November 7, and at Silver City on November 8, 1905, was established by A. Hinkey and J. A. Connors, hotel keepers, in their respective cities.

Tucker, Jr., the indicted secretary of the Uncle Sam Oil company, to serve three months in the Leavenworth county jail for contempt of court, the contempt being a sensational file filed by Federal Judges with a conspiracy between Federal Judges Pollock, Meek, Phillips and the Standard Oil company to drive the Uncle Sam company out of business. Judge Hook delivered a terrific arraignment of Attorney Albert L. Wilson, of Kansas City, who prepared the affidavit. He said the only purpose of filing the affidavit was to create a sensation in the papers and influence the public sentiment. Hook declared there was no precedent for such an affidavit and the clerk of the court was criticized for placing it on file. It was stricken from the files by order of Judge Hook. Tucker commenced serving his sentence Wednesday night. The bankruptcy proceedings were continued until a judge can be found who can sit in the case. Judge Pollock will not preside. The afdavit alleged that Judges Pollock, Philips and McPherson went on a fishing trip to Tampico, Mexico, on January 26, 1906, in the private car of Gardiner Lathrop, head of the legal department of the Santa Fe, and strongly intimated that during the trip a conspiracy was entered into between the judges and the Standard Oil company, the claim being made that the Standard and the Santa Fe were controlled by the same persons. The afdavit further alleged that Pollock made a statement against Tucker and the Uncle Sam company out of court. Admits He Has no Proof. Tucker was on the stand two hours, and was subjected to a grueling examination by N. H. Loomis, general attorney of the Union Pacific, named by the court to conduct the examination. Tucker attempted to corroborate his testimony. The defense came mixed and admitted the affidavit was prepared on hearsey. The attorneys for the Uncle Sam Oil company asked the court to dismiss the bankruptcy proceedings, stating that Tucker should pay every outstanding debt in a few days. Judge Hook refused to dismiss the suit because he felt it was unfair to jury. The present term of court will be continued until a judge can be secured. Judge Hook returned to St. Paul Wednesday night. KILLED IN AUTO SMASH. Harry Hamlin, Rich Buffalo Man, Meets Instant Death. Buffalo, N.

The lady let her ride before she was ready, and then on viewing the disreputable outfit fairly refused to accompany Mr. Nye. "Why," she exclaimed, sneeringly, "that horse may die of age any more!"

Read the f "Health Classic," "The THE GIRL IN THE PICTURE It stood over the mannel in the oak-paneled dining-room, a portrait by Gainshores of a slender dark-eyed girl in a white satin gown, with a necklace of milk-white pearls about her softly rounded throat. She was pulling the petals from a red rose and mulling ruggishly out of the frame, the light from the window from the time I used to spend my schoolboy holidays at the manor until, as a young man I ran down to Kersey for week-ends, ostensibly to see my Aunt Elizabeth, in reality to spend most of the time before the great fireplace in the dining-room, blowing rings toward the ceiling and dreaming as I watched Marlene dropping the petals of her crimson rose. I am going to have a house party on the weekend, my wife, "and you must not fall me my dear Reginald. I shall refuse to take no for an answer." This was of the nature of a summons to Windsor castle, and I dared not disobey. Besides, I did not altogether object to a house party at Kersey manor in rose time. However, at the last minute I was delayed, and it was not until the evening of the 26th that I drove up the oak-lined avenue in the soft moonlight. My maut met me in the great hall. I was having a tableau in the music-room," she said. "Will you come soon as you have changed?" The light was turned low as I softly entered and stood unobserved in the back of the music-room. There was a hush over the audience as the curtain was drawn to reveal a lovely picture. My cousin, Jeanne, smiled winsomely out of the frame as the Countess Potocka in the famous portrait that is familiar to every one. The clapping of hands drowned the little murmur of admiration as the curtain was drawn over it. My cousin, Jeanne, smiled ordeal of keeping still to be looked at again, so the encoring died away and the low murmur of conversation was resumed. Suddenly the conversation ceased; the curtain was about to be drawn for the next picture, and I turned perforantly toward the little stage. I gave a great start and clasped the back of the chair in front of me. I could see the sheen of her white satin gown, the long necklace of pearls about her snow throat. It was Mariane, but a living, breathing Mariane. Suddenly the lights fared up, the buzz of conversation grew louder, everyone was talking at once about the tableaux. One or two old friends saw me and came to welcome me, so it was several minutes before I could make my way to my aunt. "Aunt Elizabeth," I demanded, present me, I beg, to the lady of Keseran manor. Where did you find her? Did she step down from the frame to day? How did it all happen? Even as I spoke Mariane came by, Mariane in her white satin gown, her shimmering pearls and the red velvet dress. "Marian," cried my aunt. "Stop a moment while I present your cousin, Bednald." I bowed low. I felt that I ought to have a plumed hat to sweep the floor before this lady of an olden time. "Why did you not come down from your frame before?" I asked. "I have waited for you for years, centuries, aeons, and I have been so lonely, though I knew you would come at last, Marianne, lady of Kersey manor." She smiled ravishingly and looked at my aunt questioningly. "He is our court jester," the latter replied with a smile. "But I am not jesting." I cried, with mock solemnity. "She is Mariane, Mariane of the portrait." I insisted. "Deny! if you dare." "Deny! is Mariane, my aunt acknowledged." But, Mariane, the greatest granddaughter of the lady of Kersey manor and your distant cousin. "Not at all." I begged to differ. "She is Mariane herself, Mariane who sat to Gainsborough, Mariane who pulled a red rose and fung the petals at her feet—you are, aren't you, Mariane?" Aunt Elizabeth smiled indulgently. "You must not, mind your cousin," she said. "He is harmless, but I am convinced he is quite mad." Then some young upstart bore off my Marianne for the cotillon. If I could not dance it with her I showed her with favors and danced with no one else. When she misleaviously brought me a jester's cap and bells in one figure, I put it on reluctantly. The next morning we walked in the garden together just as we used to do in the old days, and I gathered her roses. We flung bread crumbs to the trout that rose greedily to snatch them, and we pelleted the cross old peacock with flowers, and then we leaned on the sun-dial, and Marianea taper finger, traced the letters of the cross inscription just as I had learned of her doing. Her hair was dreaded riotously, bewitchingly about her face that was flushed like petals of a pink rose, as she bent over the letters. "Do you know, Marlene," I said, "that this is not the first time you and I have leased on this sundial. Sometimes it has been in the pale moonshine when the garden was turned to silver and the roses, dew-drenched, filled the air with their perfume, and sometimes we have been here in the wintime when the snow lay deep on the terraces and the quant bay trees and hedges were all carved from purest Parian marble. Always we have been here together, and always we will lean together on this old dial watching the sunny hours go by; Marlene, lady of Kersey manor." She blushed ravishingly, "But I am not Mariane, lady of Kersey manor, stuild," she pouted. "You are in deed mad, madder than the maddest March hare." "You may say you are not, but you are going to be," I said emphatically. "You have got to be. I have been in love with Marianne, lady of Kersey manor, since I went to Rugby, a little chap in kuckerbusters and an in love with you and two things inquiring the same thing equa each." "Not at all," she said. "It only proves you are a fickle creature. Fancy a change of heart to admire my great-great-aunt one minute and the next to tell a girl whom you have known only 15 hours that you care for her. How could I ever trust you, Cousin Reggie." "As I said before you interrupted me I went on tranquilly. I love Marianne lady of Kersey manor, and I love you and two things equaling the same—" "Ah, you are getting too mathematical for me," she said, and ran swift We Leaned on the Sun-Dial. ly away down the garden path and I after her. And then began days of uncertainty. Marianne teased me and tormented me and avoided me, choosing any little insignificant creature that was nearest her when I approached. But I was not discouraged. I loved her too long not to feel that some day I must win out. By great luck one day I found her alone in the library and boldly walked in. "I want to speak to you about a little matter of business, if you will deign to listen," I said, stiffly to her back, as she sat at the desk writing. "Oh, business," she said, coldly, though her lips trembled a bit at the corners of her mouth as she smiled through. "Well, be quick about it. I am immensely busy." A frown puckered her delicately pencilled brows as she leaned her head on her hand to listen. "It's about the succession and the property," I said, sitting down comfortably in the low chair beside her. "Is this stricty business?" she asked suspiciously. "Strictly," I answered. "It is very important. You see I am a munt's heir and some day Kersey manor will belong to me, and do you know it doesn't seem to me quite fair. You have always been the Lady Mariane of the man, and you know I feel as though I were doing you out of it. "Oh, not at all," said Mariane politely, half turning back to her letter, as though she wished me to hasten. "I have no claim in any way, you know." "Well," I said, reflectively, "somehow I feel that it's not fair and I have a proposition to make. I want you to keep on being the lady of Kersey manor." "Oh, no, March hare," she said. "That would be doing you out of it. No, thanks very much, but I should present from you." She laughed. "What does Mme. Grundy say? A young lady should never accept any gift from a young man, except books, flowers and bonbons, unless—" She stopped suddenly and blushed adorably up to the little curls on her forehead and down to the collar of her frock. "Unless what?" I demanded, but she laughed and blushed still more. "Unless?" "Oh, never mind," she said. "I know," I cried triumphantly. "Haven't I studied Mine. Grundy's rules of etiquette?

In 1885 there was a great celebration in London in honor of Dr. Samuel Johnson, and among these in attendance was the Australian "attack" cricketer, Bonner, then at the height of his fame. As one of the guests, says the compiler of the recently published "Lettera" of the late Dr. George Birkbeck Hill, Bonner's health was proposed. His response was noteworthy. "After seeing the way in which Dr. Johnson's memory is revered," he said, with great simplicity, "I am not sure that I would not rather have been such a man than have gained my own greatest triumphs in cricket."—Youth's Companion. SORES AS BIG AS PENNIES. Whole Head and Neck Covered—Hair All Came Out—Cured in Three Weeks by Cuticura. "After having the measles my whole head and neck were covered with scaly sores about as large as a penny. They were just as thick as they could be. My hair all came out. I let the trouble run along, taking the doctor's blood remedies and rubbing on salve, but it did not seem to get any better. It stayed on my face for a week in a set of the Cuticura Remedies, and in about a week I noticed a big difference, and in three weeks it was well entirely and I have not had the trouble any more, and as this was seven years ago, I consider myself cured.

On the island of the Vela, at the Alhambra, Spain, there is a silvertoned bell which the Moslems used to ring as a signal to let on the water in the gardens and the fountains in the city below. Its sound can be heard at Liga, 30 miles away. The maiden who strikes it to-day is sure of a husband before the year is out, and of a good one if she rings loud enough. On certain fete days it is lively for the bell. The extraordinary popularity of fine white goods this summer makes the choice of Starch a matter of great importance. Defiance Starch, being free from all injurious chemicals, is the only one which is safe to use on fine fabrics. Its great strength as a stiffener makes half the usual quantity of Starch necessary, with the result of perfect finish, equal to that when the goods were new. The Disadvantages of Schools.

Starch, like everything else, is being constantly improved, the patent Starchs put on the market 25 years ago are very different and inferior to those of the present day. In the latest discovery—Defiance Starch—all injurious chemicals are omitted, while the addition of another ingredient, invented by us, gives to the Starch a strength and smoothness never approached by other brands.

Prejudice and Opposition Are Bringing Black Men Together in Various Enterprises. Dr. William Beckham, field secretary of the National Baptist convention, delivered an address at Corinthian Baptist church on the "Achievements of the American Negro." Dr. Beckham is a fluent speaker. He has been successful in life and loaned the first money which made possible the existence of the Negro Baptist Publishing House, which, after an existence of ten years, is giving $150,000 worth of business a year, not only printing Sunday school supplies, but bumn books, Bibles, books by authors, and is now making organs and church furniture. Dr. Beckham is very enthusiastic over the progress of his race. He said in part: For more than a decade the negro question seems to have given this country a point of view. I believe if he is looked at from an unbiased standpoint, his past and this country will make one form a better opinion of him. However, I believe opinions are formed largely from the reading of books, especially the delight in presenting the worst side of the negro to the general public. We act well as their defects, they have their good traits. A great number of the schools in the country are largely paid by the southern white man. And if forty years of schooling has not done much to elevate him then the fact in the case is the progress of the race in the last forty years is phenomenal. In some sensual investigation, such as I have been able to make, will show. We shall not attempt to give all the figures, but just a general indicate some phases of his achievements. Many Are Farmers. About one million negroes are farmers; more than 180,000 of them own their own farms (paid for). Their farms range from about 10,000 to more than 180,000 who own their own homes in the cities. In North Carolina we have silk mills; in Florida we have sugar mills and rice mills that are doing the same work as those of the white people. In Florida we have a street publishing houses; namely, the A. M. E. Sunday School Union, Nashville, Tenn.; the C. M. E. Publishing House, Jackson, House, Charlotte, N. C.; the National Baptist Publishing House, Nashville, all negroes as mecanics, doing every kind of work common to publishers. The last named house is one of the largest of the first named houses put together. There is no class of printing, binding, or copying done by the country; the country is not done by this house. And In this building alone, saying more than 200 hands are employed daily. The negroes of the country pay taxes on more than a billion dollars' worth of goods and services. He has paid more than twenty million dollars for his own education. This includes books, books and board, for he have spent both time and money for buildings, grounds and equipment. They Are Prosperous. We shall leave off the amount of money for church property, the number of square miles of land cultivated, magazines and books written, the 500 or more newspapers, more than 30,000 collegiate, and turn our attention to the banks owned and operated. We have thirty-three banks, these banks doing first class banking business just as all others are doing business. In the states where they are located. In the town of Mound Bayon Miss. we have no bank run by white people. The same is true out at Booker T. Washington's school, but we have in each of these places first class banks owned and operated by negros. The most common school is law and medicine, owned by the negros. In the legal profession we have three thousand men who fill their calling in this profession creditably. We have the same number of physicians, dentists, and pharmacists that are regarded as the equals of any other race in the same profession. Time would fall to many of the 6,000 stores (700 undertakers, 300,000 laundry hands, 35,000 sawmillers and planing hands, 15,000 stone and brick masons, 25,000 carpenters, 22,000 dressmakers, tailors and tailoresses, 15,000 iron and steel workers, 12,000 oystermen, 37,000 school teachers and professors, 21,000 school buildings, 20,000 other public works, 10,000 other public works. Prejudice and oppression are bringing the negros together and making them go into business and support each other in the fight against the oppressors, stopping the numerical growth of the race, for six thousand black babies are born in this country every year. In 1980, the United States proved ourselves men, the equals of any other any where. Every Man His Own Doctor The average man cannot afford to employ a physician for every slight ailment or injury that may occur in his family, nor can he afford to neglect them, as so slight an injury as the scratch of a pin has been known to cause the loss of a limb. Hence every must from necessity be his own doctor for this class of ailments. Success often depends upon prompt treatment which can only be had when suitable medicines are kept at hand.
