There were only two colored people graduated from our three high schools this year and this June only saw a few. Why is this up here in the north where we have equal school opportunities, so very few of our young boys and girls finish? Why in many places in the southland our boys and girls are eagerly hoping and praying for the opportunity that we in the north are letting pass by without taking advantage. This could not be. The two who finished were less. Ross Robert North High and Mr. Robert Bruce of East High. We congratulate these young men and women and wish for them future success. JOHNSON JEFFERIES, FIGHT JOHNSON-JEFFERIES FIGHT. Seldom do we take time to write about prize fighting or other sporting news, but as the Negro is beginning to be a power in every department of human life in America and such an equal competitor in so many things and in a few they are leaders, so we may be excused to mention about a prize fight. The great fight of forty-five rounds to be waged on July fourth, Monday, in Reno, Nevada, will attract the attention of many people and cause reasons. First, because it is the first time a colored man is now the world's champion in the pugalistic arena, and he will meet the undefeated champion who when in his zenith was the greatest of his race, and Johnson now in his zenith, is the greatest of his race. It will be all the more interesting truly if Jeffries can be what he was twelve years ago and odds were equal, it would be a tremendous battle, but physical condition and age favor the colored man. Yet, prejudice is against Johnson, for truly, a white referee and white time keepers will be a hard deal to give a fair deal to the colored man, yet with this condition. I firmly believe if only half a chance is given Johnson that he will knock Jefferies out and whip him in a clean battle. There will be millions of dollars bet on this fight. MASONIC GRAND LODGE MASONIC GRAND LODGE. On July 12, 13 and 14th the Masonic Grand Lodge of Iowa and her jurisdiction will convene in our city as the guests of North Star No. 2, in her hall on Tenth and Park streets, for her regular session.

Conservation of hats is suggested to reduce insect pests. Did you ever notice how much legal argument is piffle? Manchuria is the Massachusetts of the Orient. Its bean crop did it. The Chinese are not so slow; slavery has been abolished in China. A Philadelphia man stole the roof from a church, and Pittsburgh is jealous. Sample of the most patient man—life who counted the 6,600,000 germs in one fly. Those "Kiss not" buttons will not be worn by such girls as are encouraging the mashers. Pittsburgh celebrated "bird day" the other day, with the whole Audubon society out in chantecler hats. Restored from the dead after 20 minutes. Is this a new press agent unit for some elitr of life? A Paris woman is accused of braudulently securing some $800,000. Maybe she wanted a new hat. Man is so perverse a person that the sight of an anti-kissing button will drive him to more serious efforts. A Harvard student lives on a dollar a week, but no doubt he'd gladly pay more for his living, if he could. What a relief it must be to some spera singers to learn that legally they do not have to pay their husbands' debts. Some horrid men say that just the dearest kiss they ever had was not the one which led to a breach of promise suit.

Fashion note: A woman with plenty of the long green can wear any other color and will be in style this summer, or any summer. A whale the other day sank a fishing schooner with a blow of its tail, strictly speaking, however, you cannot call this a fish story. If you have saved any money on your fuel bill this last winter, prepare now to spend it on a little ice for the next few weeks. The theatrical profession has received another blow. A New York man has a hen that lays eggs impregnated with coal dust. Vienna intends to fight the white plague by building sanitary homes for the poor. There is nothing indirect in that way of going about it. A prominent Frenchman proposes to cure delinquent children by giving them singing lessons. But some singing in itself is almost criminal. In the anxiety of preparing her graduation gown the sweet girl graduate should not entirely overlook the finishing touches of her thesis. A new play entitled "Piscator" is soon to be brought out by a New York manager, according to a report that has just been sent from that city. It sounds fishy. An English doctor says that eating ginger in the morning will cure bad temper. If your wife insists on your eating ginger you know where she got her information. When a car laden with ten tons of dynamite jumped the track 16 miles from Tacoma, and the explosive "let go," blowing the two Du Pouf powder mill brakemen to atoms, something happened that is within the range of possibility every time a heavy shipment of dynamite is made by rail. But dynamite is invaluable in industrial operations, and it must be shipped. China's abolition of slavery is a direct result of the awakening of the government of the Flowery kingdom under the influence of contact with the Occidental world. China has noted Japan's advance as a nation, and she is ambitious to make similar progress. Therefore she may be expected to do everything that will increase respect for her among the people of other nations, and at the same time push forward industrial and commercial enterprise. That automobile demonstrator who hurled an occupant of his car through a saloon window may have had good intentions, but his alm was bad. Most persons prefer to use the door. A plumber who was arrested on a charge of vagrancy indignantly protested that the police might as well have taken in President Taft on such a charge. Anyone who ever had a plumber at work in the bathroom can appreciate how it was possible for the patrolman to make a mistake, however. Fires crawl, they buzz and they annoy in other different ways, but their chief spread is that they carry and spread disease. If any man were to do all these things, particularly the last, he would be unmercifully killed. Why not the fly? The need of close inspection by agents of the state dairy and food departments is indicated by the fact that during April 144 samples examined in Minnesota were found to be in violation of the laws of that SISTER'S BASHFUL BEAU DOESN'T CALL AS OFTEN SINCE THE HAMMOCK SEASON OPENED THE HAMMOCK SEASON OPENED CHICAGO EVENING POST FTIX SENATOR J. W. DANIEL DEAD OLDEST DEMOCRAT IN SENATE DIES AT LYNCHBURG. Has Third Paralytic Stroke, but Cause of Death Was Cerebral Hemorrhage. Lynchburg, Va. — John W. Daniel, senior senator from Virginia, died at the Lynchburg sanitarium Wednesday night, his death being due to a recurrence of paralysis. The immediate cause of his death was cerebral hemorrhage. This was Senator Daniel's third paralytic stroke. He suffered the first fall last fall in Philadelphia and the second in Daytona, Fla., during the winter, having gone to Florida to recuperate. He had not been in Washington for several months. Senator Daniel was sixty-seven years old. With Sonny Daniel, his wife and his son, Edward M. Daniel, and his daughter, Mrs. Fred Harper, whose husband, also here, is Senator Daniel's law partner. The death of Senator John Warwick Daniel removes the oldest of the Democratic senators in point of service. Of the entire list he was the only one who could be said to belong to the old regime. And, as he was the oldest in service, he was one of the most conspicuous in popular favor. Senator James McEney, United States senator from Louisiana, suddenly expired at his home here Tuesday from an attack of acute indigestion. The senator arrived here Monday from Washington. He was seventy-three years old, and death was superinduced by old age. The senator is survived by his wife, who was before marriage Miss Elizabeth Phillips of Monroe, Pa.; his wife, Elizabeth Phillips of Monroe, B. Parker, and his two sons, Charles P. McEney and Dr. Douglas W. McEnergy of Washington. Im all probability Gov. Jared J. Sanders will be chosen by the Louisiana legislature, now in session, as Senator McEnery's successor. It is thought that the leading figure in the nation won the aged senator's passing for some time, but it was not anticipated exactly at this juncture. CONGRESS COMES TO CLOSE Adjournment Sees Most of the Taft Program of Legislation Carried Out. Washington.—With President Taft's legislative program practically carried out in its entirety the first regular session of the legislature, he adjourned sine die Saturday night, signed the rivers and harbors bill, but sent a message to congress indicating that he had made up his mind to do so practically at the last minute of time at his disposal, so far as that measure was concerned. Congress was warned that it must change its method of framing river and harbor improvement measures, and announcement is made that unauthorized construction carried out in future bills the withholding of executive approval will be justified, even though a rivers and harbors bill fall. The president also signed without comment the postal savings bank bill, the omnibus public building bill, the latter carrying authorization for improvements aggregating $23,000,000, but leaving the items of appropriation to be attended to later, in connection with the regular estimates of the treasury department with respect to work authorized by congress.

Blount in the court have German Campaign of Slander Against the Deutsche Vacuum Oil Company Falls. Berlin.—The long and venomous campaign waged by German newspapers and rival industrial interests against one of the German branches of the Standard Oil company—the Deutsche Vacuum Oil company, has just been brought to a vicious end for the Americans involved. A well-known Hamburg newspaper for months printed such a series of attacks on the "American graft methods" alleged to have been practised by the vacuum company in the conduct of its German business that the public prosecutor of Hamburg felt constrained to make an official investigation with a view to eventual indictments. The prosecutor has now conducted a investigation, especially of the German companies, American manager of the German company's sales department, and announces that no necessity exists for pursuing the inquiry further. No evidence of anything warranting prosecution was found against Mr. Quarles, and the costs of the entire inquiry will be borne by the state. The result of the investigation constitutes a notable triumph for Americans in Germany. It is not the case that Germans, finding themselves unable to compete with Americans on ordinary terms, have resorted to slander.

SOME REDUCTIONS A HALF Shippers of Spokane and Reno Win in Contest Against Paying Tariffs to Coast and Back to Destination. Washington—Reductions in class and commodities on all shipments west from Chicago to the Pacific coast were ordered Wednesday by the interstate commerce commission. The commission decided that the capital invested in railroad property and betterments did not justify the advance in rates to the point marked in the new schedules filed by the railroads. The decisions are in what are known popularly as the Pacific coast cases. These cases were heard last autumn by the commission on its six weeks' trip to the Pacific coast and intermountain territory and had been under consideration ever since then. In every instance reductions in the existing rates were made. The commission found a remarkable rate situation on the Pacific coast, and even a more remarkable one in intermountain territory. This is true especially of the rates to and from Spokane, Wash., and Reno, Nev. The Spokane rate issue had been before the commission in one form or another for several years. The shippers of that city complained insistently of the tariffs on freight classes and commodities from eastern points of origin, because they were required to pay the Pacific coast terminal plus the local rates back to Spokane from those terminals, although the freight was discharged at Spokane on the western trip. Substantially the same state of facts existed at Reno and other Nevada points, which had to pay the rates to San Francisco and the back haul local rates from San Francisco or Sacramento to destination. These local rates in the majority of instances amounted to two-fifths or more of the entire rate from eastern points of origin to Pacific coast terminals. The decisions of the commission affect all class and commodity rates between eastern points and the far west. No complaint was made of the rates of the eastern lines between Atlantic points and Mississippi river transfers and all of the reductions ordered by the commission affect rates from Mississippi and Missouri river transfers to Pacific coast terminals and intermountain territorial points. In a case involving class freight rates from eastern territory to Phoenix, Ariz., the commission held the rates to be unjust and unreasonable and ordered reductions of approximately 30 per cent. MANY DIE IN CLOUDBURST Three Kentucky Counties Are Swept by Storm and Flood—Deaths May Reach Forty. Saylersville, Ky.-Fifteen people are known to be dead, fifteen additional are reported as having died and fully forty are missing as the result of a cloudburst in Magoffin, Floyd and Knott counties, Ky., late Tuesday. Twelve bodies of the known dead have been secured by the workmen in Saylersville and the towns affected by the terrible cloudburst. When late reports came in from sections lying near Saylersville, it was estimated by the people here that fully forty have been killed in the floods and that forty are missing from their homes. Saylersville is the county seat of Magoffin county which is in eastern Kentucky. There are no railroads running to the town and little else than farming is done in this vicinity. Floyd and Knott counties lie adjacent to this county and have several small towns lying directly on the Licking river and large creeks which were affected greatly by the dqnwpout. It has been raining in this section for three days and the rivers and streams were all full of water when the downpour from the cloudburst broke over this section. Instantly many houses in this section were carried from their foundations and were swept into the streams. Many of the people in these three counties are homeless. The property damage is estimated to be fully $100,000 and the losses in stocks and grains will go to even higher figures.

Keen observers predict a big boom in property in Wantland, Colorado, the new town which is being built in the center of the Little Snake River Valley in Routt County, Colorado. A big irrigation system is being built to irrigate 60,000 acres of very fine land surrounding Wantland.

Declares Former President is Greatest American Living and is In Fighting Trim. Oyster Bay.—Robert M. La Follette, United States senator from Wisconsin, spent two hours talking politics with Theodore Roosevelt. He left Oyster Bay wearing a broad smile. Senator La Follette arrived with G. E. Roe, a New York lawyer, who was formerly his law partner. Colonel Roosevelt's chauffeur was waiting for him, and whisked them away to Sagamore Hill. The senator had pulled his hat down over his eyes and tried to escape unseen. But he was caught fairly at it by a group of newspaper men. They tackled him on suspicion, although nobody recognized him, for his hat hld his famous pompadour. "Not a word," he said. "I'm going to Sagamore Hill, but I don't want a word said about it." When he returned, just in time to catch a train for New York, he was smiling his most expansive, persuasive smile. "It's all right, boys, he cried jovially. "The colonel says I may talk with you." "Did we talk politics?" he replied to the first question. "We did." "We talked of the legislation of the present session of congress, from the attitude of those members of the Republican party whom the newspapers are pleased to call insurgents." "Can you go into details?" "No; I prefer that they come from Sagamore Hill. I am very much pleased with the result of my visit with Colonel Roosevelt, very much pleased, indeed." The senator paused for a moment. Suddenly the smile left his face for the first time and he said impressively: "I want to tell you that Colonel Roosevelt is the great living American, and," he added slowly and significantly, "he is in fighting sign." CHARLTON CASE IS HALTED Arraignment Postponed to Await Exchanges Between Washington and Italian Government. New York—Porter Charlton's case now waits upon the result of exchanges between the state department at Washington and the Italian government. His counsel, in asking that his formal arraignment be postponed, Tuesday promised that no effort would be made under habeas corpus, insanity or other proceedings to take the prisoner out of the hands of the New Jersey authorities, pending the adjourned arraignment, which after some argument, was finally set for July 8. Meanwhile it is expected that the international aspects of the case will have adjusted themselves and decision be reached as to whether Charlton shall be delivered to the Italian authorities on extradition proceedings. DEMANDS MILLION DAMAGES Ida Von Clausen Files Suit Against Roosevelt and Others Charging Slander and Conspiracy. New York.-Ida Von Clausen, once the wife of Dr. William Francis Honan, whose coming to America to sue the Roosevelt Roosevelt and other notables was announced from Paris a few weeks ago, appeared in the county house Tuesday with a complaint which she insisted on filing in the county clerk's office. Her complaint charges the Theodore Roosevelt, Robert Bacon, ambassador to France; Charles Graves, minister to Sweden, and Mrs. Alice Wright G. Graves, his wife, with slander and conspiracy. She declares that through the machinations of these distinguished persons she was deprived of a royal marriage with Prince Eugene of Sweden as the bridegroom. Wherefore she demands $1,000,000 damages. 1.500 IN SHIP FIRE PERIL Four Dead, Number Seriously Injured and 400 Slightly Hurt—Result of Burning of Excursion Steamer. La Crosse, Wils.-Four persons are dead, a number seriously injured and about 400 slightly burned in attempting to escape from the burning hulk of the excursion steamer J. S., with 1,500 passengers aboard, which caught fire Saturday night in the Mississippi river 15 miles south of here. The story of the rescue as told is that the steamer, when it finally reached Bad Ax island, where the passengers were able to escape ashore, was burning so fiercely that only 200 of the 1,500 aboard were able to go ashore on the gangplank. The other 1,200 or 1,300 passengers were forced to leap over the rail into water four or five feet deep and wade ashore, suffering terribly until they were able to reach the main land.

CORN PLANTING IS OVER CORN PLANTING IS OVER THAT CANADIAN TRIP SHOULD NOW BE TAKEN. If you had intended going to Canada for the purpose of purchasing land on which to establish a home and accompanying some land company, whose holdings you proposed to look over or to go up on your own account to select one hundred and sixty acres of land free, you should delay no longer. Corn-planting is over, your wheat crop is well ahead, and you have a few weeks' time before you are required in the fields again. Now make your intended trip. Reports at hand show that the crop prospects in Canada were never better than they are today. The cool weather has not affected the crop, but if anything, it has been a benefit. There has been plenty of moisture and those who have had their land properly prepared look upon this year as likely to be one of the best they have had. A great many are going up this season who expect to pay two or three dollars an acre more than they were asked to pay last year. Others who wish to homestead are prepared to go farther from the line of railway than would have been necessary last year. Still it is worth it. So it will be with you. Next year lands will be higher-priced and homesteads less accessible. There is a wonderful tide of immigration to Central Canada now. It is expected that one hundred and fifty thousand new settlers from the United States will be numbered by the end of the present year, an increase of fifty per cent over last year. In addition to this there will be upwards of one hundred thousand from the old country, which does not include those who may come from the northern countries of the Continent. These all to settle upon the land. The reader does not require an answer to the questions, "Why do they do it?" "Why are they going there in such large numbers?" Western Canada is no longer an experiment. The fact that one hundred and fifty million bushels of wheat were raised last year as against ninety-five millions the year previous, shows that the tiller of the soil in Central Canada is making money and it is safe to say that he is making more money than can be made anywhere else on the Continent in the growing of grains. He gets good prices, he has a sure and a heavy crop, he enjoys splendid railway privileges, and he has also the advantages of schools and churches and such other social life as may be found anywhere. It is difficult to say what district is the best. Some are preferred to others because there are friends already established. The Grand Trunk Pacific, on its way across the Continent, is opening up a splendid tract of land, which is being taken up rapidly. The other railways—the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Northern are extending branch lines into parts inaccessible a couple of years ago. With a perfect network of railways covering a large area of the agricultural lands it is not difficult to secure a location. Any agent of the Canadian Government will be pleased to render you assistance by advice and suggestion, and a good plan is to write or call upon him. The Government has located these agents at convenient points throughout the States, and their offices are well equipped with a full supply of maps and literature.

The proof of the value of our work is that we are being imitated and largely by persons whose own hair we have actually grown and the further fact that they have very frequently mentioned us when trying to sell their goods (saying that theirs is the same or "just as good") or referred to PORO.

Perkins for four months, I can say that it has been very good. When I began taking her treatment my hair was very short, harsh and stubborn and broke off close to my scalp in some places. And now it is long and plurable. I recommend to my Mrs. Perkins' treatment I remain. HER CLAIM IS BONA FIDE. To Whom it May Concern: This is to certify that I have known Mrs. Perkins for nine years, and can testify that she did have her nine years ago, when she began treatment on her own hair.

I thought I'd wait to see how I liked your treatment before writing. I also received your letter from Joan, and thank you for letting me in for dinner as well as to your treatment, I used the red shampoo, and eggs, as I thought the scalp must have thorough cleaning to start with, and you didn't deserved it. I was very sorry, it was the most delightful shampoo I ever had. I felt like I had a new head, (laugh). Now, as to your salve, it is the nearest thing to perforated hair, as a dressing, and I don't think you exaggerated its merits. THE CROWN OF SUCCESS. (From the Denver, Statistica.) A year ago the first announcement was made of the wonderful success which Mrs. T. D. Perkins had made in the growth of her own hair, and it is her intention to give the benefit of her knowledge to the world at large. Women in this section of the country, already the news of much comment, and many people who had known her for years, came to realize for the first time that the magnificent suit of hair she has now was the product of a very short time and that a hare three years ago she wore her hair in short sleeves. She now does. That success begets success, was evident from the start. Her classes in the care of the scalp and the growth and beautifying of the hair were filled at once. They grew in prodigious bounds and some weeks ago she was compelled to the out-of-town classes altogether. She was herself to treatments at her home in the Highlands and to mail order business. In the special articles which will appear from time to time in this paper, we delight to call attention to various duties achieved by people of our society that there may be honor paid to whom honor is due, and also that proper appreciation and patronage may come to ploneers in business among us. Personal profit for them enables them to encourage for us all go hand in hand in success won by members of our race. Even the mean spitted should not begrudge the one when so much is accomplished for the whole people at work. In her business Mrs. Perkins does not play the part of a charitani, but sets forth clearly the possibilities or her work, and her greatest endorsement falls short of the painstaking effort that we through knowledge she uses. We grow and grow, we know that she has succeeded and we, therefore, predict* that in no great length of time she will be doing a business that will make a good business conducted by us in race in any department of endeavor. ---
