Took Manly Stand for Right and Justice—Urge Colonization of "When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for the representatives of a people or a nation to declare the fundamental principles of closer relations with their fellowmen and citizens of different races, in order that they may cooperate to the best interest of each and to promote their own posterity in just and equal enjoyment of the rights guaranteed by the Constitution of their government," the Western Negro Press Association adopts the following Resolutions as an address to the people. In recent years we have noted the growing sentiment of Northern and Eastern journals against our people, as evidenced by the wide publicity given writings of the Southerners, and by the numerous cases of constantly violent agitation who are constantly fanning the flame of prejudice against the race. For the protection of our homes and the perpetuation of the suffrage guaranteed by the Constitution of the nation we therefore deem it imperative duty of the voters of our race to advocate and support only men who will always stand out for the defense of manhood rights of all men, and to maintain certainties the offensive importance that is defiling our Hall of Conress. Negro Homeseakers to the West. In view of the fact that Southern agencies sustained by the taxes of all the people are securing foreign emigrants for the purpose of displacing the Negro labor in the South, we urge the government to anticipate this movement to displace them, we urge them to come West and settle upon the millions of acres of free homestead land and cheap farms offered by friendly corporations, and the future of our country upon the streets of the widespread acceptance of the impracticable ideas of Southern agitators which tend to promote racial strife, encourage unjust laws, and debauch the Puritan ideals of Right. Reason and the fundamental structure of our national commonwealth. Such teachings tend to pervert the objects and encos of Christianity, cause hatred and hypocrisy in public schools on the part of the public, and about a complexity of unpleasantness in every phase of daily life. Practical Education Needed. While there are many great needs for the Race we represent, yet the primary need is education in its broad and comprehensive sense both of the hand, head and heart, and the distribution of the fundamental principles of common, industrial and higher education to all classes. We commend the noble and philanthropic spirit of Mrs. Anna Jeans, of Philadelphia, Pa., who recently donated $1,000,000 for the education of the colored youths of the Business Enterprise. Accumulated wealth is one of the great social forces. The crying need of our people is greater commercial development than aid and assist Negroes in all lines of business. The great commercial development of our people during the past few years has been remarkable. We have made more business. The white man employs no Negro clerks, it becomes our duty to create and maintain business enterprises that there may be increased opportunities for our boys and girls. Peonage. We unhesitatingly commend the vigorous action of the national administration in dealing with the terrible condition of peonage existing in Southern states and its effort to eradicate the same. The Brownville Affair. We have the utmost confidence in the administration dealing justly with all men, yet we believe it has been misinformed as to the nature of the affair; and since a Senatorial investigation has found our colored soldiers to be innocent of all charges, we urge the restatement of the discharged battalion. We have the invaluable service rendered to our people and the country by Senator Joseph Benson Foraker in his noble and courageous defense of the army and the Negro soldiers, and we take this opportunity by assuring our appreciation of the same. Military and Naval. In view of the possible conflicts of this government and noble services rendered by the Negro soldier in all the wars of this nation, we call the attention of the president of this great nation to the injustice done by people in this country to the government, specifically the cabinet, for which the president is responsible. The continued rejection of young colored men at West Point Military School and the Annapolis Naval Academy on frivolous excuses, thereby preventing them becoming officers, is not only wrong, but is un-American. In view of this fact, Congressmen will not recommend our boys to these institutions for the reason that justice is denied them. We ask for representatives in the artillery and marine corps. Suffrage. Since it is the spirit of this government to accord each citizen the right of suffrage and since this right is being continuously auridged in some section of the country, we ask the present administration to fulfill its pledge as to these matters as shown in the platform of 1804. Oklahoma Statehood. Congress has given to the Territory of Oklahoma and Indian Territory the right to form a state, and a Constitution has been framed and is subject to ratification by the people and the appraisal of an amendment. The constitution has submitted conventions, clauses offensive to the races and calculated to produce strife, we appeal to the president that he dis his approval on said constitution. One of the most offensive clauses is that which enables a white man to marry a black woman. We recommend that, copy of this address be given Senator Curius Chur to be transmitted through him to His Excellency, President Roosevelt, and that the president and secretary of the Western Negro Press Association be requested to forward a copy of the same to Senator Foraker.

E. Blackmer was horibly burned and disfigured when at 3 o'clock Tuesday he was sprayed a great shower of sprayed over his body. When the fire burst the steam from five of the great boilers rushed out into the chief engineer's face. The entire upper portion of his body was burned, and the skin was burned that the skin peeled from the hip to the knee when his clothing was removed. Mr. Blackmer had elimbed to the top of one of the boilers and was turning the steam in the extra boilers when light would suddenly come save way like a paper bag and he was thrown to the coal piles several feet below. The firemen rushed to his side and while they were caring for the injured man all the steam in the plant escaped and left the city in utter darkness where the steam are depended on for navigation. The engineer was taken immediately to Mercy hospital and Drs. Priestly and McCarthy were called. The skin on Mr. Blackmer's face and arms peeled off soon after the accident, and upon removing his clothing the skin on his chest, back and one of his legs peeled off. The house police found the body of Blackmer would undoubtedly recover, although the burns on the upper portion of his body were very deep. For over half an hour every electric light on the Edison wires was set, and the great crowds on the streets in the business district were left groping around in the darkness. There were also the Valuers, most except those furnished by private plants. For fear that robbers might take place, customers were driven from the business houses, and in one of the leading levels the only illumination was that given by kerosene lamps. Both the Mutual and Iowa lines was crippled, and the operators were unable to ring any phones for over thirty minutes. The police were unable to manage the crowds on the streets and in the theaters all the electric lights were out, and had not it been the gas panies might have ensured. General Manager P. B. Sawyer of the Edison company declared that service had never been crippled to the extent with the company. Although the accident was unavoidable, he expressed his regret at the inconvenience in the patrons were placed.

Iowa City—What harmlessly enough as a lowers' quarrel, developed into a murder and suicide, William Dohrer fatally wounding Florence Fuhrmeister and then killing himself. The scene of the tragedy was the maze of the Fuhrmeister home, six miles south of the city. He dwells with his mother and grandfather, while her lover lived a few rods down the road. The two had been devoted to each other for over a year and it was generally understood that their marriage was to place in a short time. The alliance between the two alluded to to call this evening, but before long the girl's mother heard voices raised as if there was some disagreement. She did not interfere, however, deeming it slight. Then some time passed the evening wore on until 11 o'clock. Suddenly two shots were heard in rapid succession. Bushing out, her mother saw Florence fallen to the floor of the porch, the blood spurting from a wound in the breast, while Dohrer still occured a sitting position in his chair. He had evidently fired upon the girl without rising. Physicians were at once called. It was meant that Dohrer, who had shot himself through the wall, was dead, but there was life left in the girl. Her wound is believed to be fatal. SEVERE STORM HITS BOONE. Hay Barns Destroyed and Cattle Killed by Lightning.

SIX WEEKS FOR PRACTICE SIX WEEKS FOR PRACTICE BATTLESHIPS WILL THEN PREPARE FOR PACIFIC CRUISE. Route for Return Trip Not Settled—Several Commanding Officers Will Be Relieved. Washington. — The Atlantic fleet under Admiral Evans, which sailed from Hampton Roads Monday, will remain for two weeks at the southern drill grounds, 40 miles off the Cheapeake cape, practicing fleet and squadron formation. Then will come the regular fall target practice, lasting probably four more weeks. Acting Secretary Newberry said Tuesday the ships would then go to the navy yards in prearranged order, where, in two weeks, they should be put in perfect condition, the actual start for the Pacific cruise being made about the middle of December. None of the itineraries so far prepared by the navy department is final. If the decision as to route of the big ships is in favor of a return by way of Cape of Good Hope the fleet will sail from San Francisco about the end of next summer straight away across the Pacific, calling at Honolulu and probably heading thence for Australia. If the Suez canal is closed the fleet will probably, after thence, sailwing to the northwest, skirting the coast of British Columbia and the Aleutian islands, cross the Pacific by the shortest great circle route, which will take the ships close to Japan, and thence to Manila, where they will make a short stop before passing through the Straits of Malacca and entering the Indian ocean. The navy department will relieve some of the present commanding officers of the battleships before this cruise is begun, because they will have already served nearly the full term of sea duty. Officers who have already had two full years of sea service in their present commands include Herbert Barry of the Kentucky, Herbert Winters of the Kearsarge and Comly of the Alabama. ATTEMPT TO KILL CORTELYOU Package Addressed to Him Explodes in Philadelphia Post Office. Philadelphia. — The explosion of what appears to have been a large percussion cap in a package addressed to Secretary of the Treasury George B. Cortelyou created excitement in the Nicotown substation of the Philadelphia post office Tuesday. The package, which was collected from a box in the northern section of the city, was received by Clerk Roberts, who says it was about four inches long by two inches wide and three-fourths of an inch thick. When Roberts brought his steel cancellation die down on the stamp the package exploded and was torn to pieces. Roberts was unhurt. The package was put together and the package was found to have been addressed to Secretary Cortelyou, Washington, the address having been cut from a newspaper and pasted on the package. Chest Postal Inspector James B. Cortelyou, a brother of the secretary, is trying to solve the mystery surrounding the explosion, though most of the authorities think the package was mailed as a joke. There was not sufficient explosive matter in it to have done injury to anyone. What was in the package aside from the explosive cap the officials will not say. GROSS EARNINGS OF RAILWAYS.

WHAT THE WOMEN WORE. Of Course the Story Teller Didn't Really Mean Just That. A gentleman recently returned from that quiet little Maryland resort, Ocean City, has a tale to tell of conditions that are really sensational. And the worst of it was that he did not know they were sensational at all. He was out calling the other evening, and he saw a shirtwrist man, who, the returned wanderer said, was to be found in great quantities at the summer resort. Then he told about the habit everybody down there had contracted of going without hats. This is the way he told it to an interested company: You see every body down there wearing a shirt, never wear coats; they go about in just their shirts and trousers, and the women are just like them." VERY BAD FORM OF ECZEMA. Suffered Three Years — Physicians Did No Good — Perfectly Well After Using Cuticura Remedies. "I take great pleasure in informing you that I was a sufferer of eczema in my early years, and last three years. I consulted and treated a number of physicians in Chicago, but to no avail. I commenced using the Cuticura Remedies, consisting of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills, three months ago, and to-day I am perfectly well, the disease having left me entirely. I cannot recommend the Cuticura Remedies too highly to anyone sufferer of eczema, and I have had, Mrs. Florence E. Atwood, 18 Crilly Place, Chicago, Ill., October 2, 1905. Witness: L. S. Berger."

Nature's Gift Wasted A Scotchman who recently took the street car trip on the gorge route, the New York side of Niagara river, was much disgusted with the hawkers of views and "Teddy bears," who make the afternoon hideous and do their best to spoil nature's grandeur.

BAD DREAMS Frequently Due to Coffee Drinking. One of the common symptoms of coffee poisoning is the bad dreams that spoil what should be restful sleep. A man who found the reason says: "Formerly I was a slave to coffee. I was like a morphine fiend, could not sleep at night, would roll and toss in my bed and when I did get to sleep I would feel like a helpless lins, would wake up with headaches and feel bad all day, so nervous I could not attend to business. My writing looked like bird tracks, I had sour belchings from the stomach, indigestion, heartburn and palpitation of the heart, constipation, irregularity of the kidneys, etc. "Indeed, I began to feel I had all the troubles that human flesh could suffer, when a friend advised me to leave off coffee, I could not drink it. I could not bear the idea, it had such a hold on me and I refused to believe it the cause. "But it turned out that no advice was ever given at a more needed time for I finally consented to try Postum and with the going of coffee and the coming of Postum all my troubles have gone and health has returned. I eat and sleep well now, nerves steadied down and I write a fair hand (as you can see), can attend to business again and rejoice that I am free from the monster coffee." Ten days' trial of Postum in place of coffee will bring sound, restful, refreshing sleep. "There's a Rezon." Read "The Road to Wellville" in pkins.

Mahogany trees do not grow in clusters, but are scattered throughout the forest and hidden in a dense growth of underbrush, vines and creepers and require a skillful and experienced woodman to find them. He seeks the highest ground in a forest, climbs to the top of the tallest tree and surveys the surrounding country. The mahogany has a pearl foliage and his practiced eye soilder the woodman. The axmen follow the hunter and then come the sawyers and hewers, a large mahogany taking two men a day to fell it. The tree has large spurs, which project from the trunk at its base, and scaffolds must be erected so that the tree can be cut off above the spurs. This leaves a stump ten to fifteen feet high, which is sheer waste, as the stump really contains the best lumber. The hunter has nothing to do with the work of cutting or removing the tree, his duty being simply to locate it. If he is unable to locate it, he may amount to $500 or $1,000 a month, but he may travel weeks at a time without detecting a tree, and as he is generally paid by results his earnings are rather precari Citron Tree and the Bible. Was the citron tree the tree of knowledge of good and evil in the garden of Eden? Some persons think it was. In any event, it appears that "citron will grow in the right rendering in passages where the thorized version of the Bible gives "apple." For instance, in the Proverbs, "A word fity spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." And in the Song of Solomon, "As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons." And again, "Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples, for I am slick of love."

SHERIDAN. WYOMING. Aug. 12, 1907.—(Special to Bystander. er.) Mr. Editor: Will you allow me to ask you to insert these few lines in your paper concerning a certain population of six or seven thousand and about 200 colored people, with a drafting class. A very industrial place for the colored man to make money. The opportunity is fine for young married men. Messrs. Shute, Al Bell, Roy Armstrong formed a camping party in the mountains "fishing and hunting for five days." Mr. E. church gave a dinner on a dinner, which netted $34. Mrs. Moore of Billings is visiting Mrs. Tom Newsome. Mrs. Watson of Omaha, who has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. Chonault, has taught us how to home build. It is quite an effort being made to build a church among the A. M. E. denomination. Mr. Leonard Harrison, formerly of Burlington, Iowa, is located in our city, to which we welcome him and Mr. Geo. Wilson has formed a baseball club. He expects to get or make a pretty good showing with his team. Mr. John Ivey was in town from his ranch looking fine. Mr. Al Bell is doing a prosperous business in the messenger service. From a Reader of The Bystander. Don't Have Short Hair. Romero will grow your hair and a the same time straighten it.

The SelfImprovement and Social club and their invited friends gave an outdoor picnic at the city park Thursday afternoon. It was what might be termed an old fashioned picnic, and the good things provided passes description, fried chicken, ham, boiled eggs, salads, rolls, ice cream and cake and fruit. It was sufficient to satisfy the taste of the most fastidious epicure. C. Wickes, Gus Watkins and Miss Zoe Richardson left the city Saturday for Colorado Springs. Mrs. J. H.

Mrs. Asberry is very much above the average Negro women that you meet. The Negro women of Colorado have conditions and when you do meet such you pause, you think and naturally you consider. OTTUMWA NOTES The A. M, E. Sunday school picnic was a success from start to finish. Many pleasure seekers sought the heights with well filled baskets and a god time was enjoyed by all. Mr. Roscoe Wess of Kirksville, Mo. and Miss Ruth Campbell, one of Ottumwa's society belles, were united in the spring, but have enjoyed the secret until it was authoritively announced by his mother, Mrs. Ellen Wess of 516 S. Main street, Kirksville, Mo. May God's blessings attend them forever, also our sympathy for the Ottumwa girl. Miss Bernice Dale, one of Ottumwa's most highly esteemed young ladies, has secured a position of playing ball in Mason City, Iowa. This shows that our young ladies are progressing. We should wish for a few more Miss Davis'. Miss Edna Martin has secured the position of playing at nights for Lily Dill on S. Greene street. We should look for higher bushes and better berries.

Very few persons outside of the glittering circle of our enormously rich families, who constitute what is referred to as "the best society," can understand how any young woman in this or any other country can spend upon her wardrobe such vast amounts of money as are expended by the daughters of some of these families. The history of the world does not show such reckless extravagance in the way of dress. One of the reasons for the history of the world show so ridiculous a use of money as that practiced by our very rich in their strictly social divertissements. Happy is the lot of the man or woman who is not tempted to such foolish indulgences, which take the edge from life's real joy! "I had a friend," said the bearded man, "who got out of paying a bill he owed in an original way. When the collector arrived he sent word to him that he would him in a few minutes. Then he went into the parlor, shut the doors carefully, turned on every blessed burner in the chandelier, came quickly out, and had his man show the bill collection in the parlor while he lit the fire. Do you want for the collector waited a few minutes for him to come down? Not on your photograph. He fed from that gas filled room in about two seconds by the clock. If he had stayed three he'd have been suffocated." Good Enough for the Deg. Bobby's mother was often distressed by her small son's lapses from correct speech, all the more because his reports from school were always good. "Bobb," she said, plantatively, one day, "why do you keep telling Major to 'sel up' when you know sit up' or learn to 'sit up' when you know sit up?" The mother answered hastily, "of course I have lots of grammar, but I don't like to waste it on Major, when he doesn't know the difference, being a dog."—Youth's Companion. Speaking of Fathers. Two kids had been engaged in a heated argument over the respective merits of their sires, when Johnnie clinched his argument with the following: "Huh, that's nothing! My father was in the army, and once, when he was standing on a hill beside a cannon, a war came up the hill, and he fired the cannon and killed the whole war." - Judge's Library. Hope. "Woman is naturally more hopeful than man," began the moralist. "Yes," interrupted the plain man. "There's my wife, for instance, to buy fish since she has had occasion to buy fish since we started housekeeping she has asked her dealer if they were fresh, hoping, I suppose, that some day he'll say no."
