--- KANSAS CITY VOL. 2. LINCOLN PARK UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT 5,000 PAID ADMISSIONS WERE THE NUMBER PASSED THROUGH THE TURNSTILES THE 4TH OF JULY. Lincoln Electric Park has taken on new life under the new management of Mr. L. L. Hill, an old experienced park man. Many changes have been made to the advantage and convenience of its patrons. Some of the things is the installation of a new safety vault for bathers, visitors or employees where their valuables can be put, away, and be as safe as in a National bank deposit box, and it's without cost to anyone. EMERGENCY HOSPITAL ROOM. We find also an emergency hospital room, fitted up too. If any takes sick or gets hurt, they can be taken away from the crowd and placed in this room on a cot, and immediate medical attention rendered. There has been two new shower baths installed, one for women and one for men, and before any one goes into the pool, a shower bath is compulsory. Besides, there is a lady inspector for the women and a man inspector for the men, and if any eruptious breaking out or any kind of a disease is detectable, they are not permitted to enter the pool, and their money refunded. This is done to make the pool perfectly sanitary. A $5,000 CALIOPE. Manager Hill has purchased a $5,000 callope which will be in the park this Sunday. It is the latest and most modern of all attractions. HIGH DIVER. The world's greatest high diver is billed for next Sunday, making a dive from the top of tower 90 feet high.

In 1914 when he was a candidate for the Supreme Court, Colonel Little received 196,000 votes in the state in round numbers. In the Second Congressional district in which he is now a candidate for the Republican nomination for Congress, he received 33,864 votes. Col. Little received the largest vote ever cast for any office in the Second congressional district. Below we give the figures for the votes cast in this Congressional district in the last six years for various candidates. Guyer, congress, 1911. 10,841 Taggart, congress, 1911. 11,994 Caldwell, congress, 1910. 19,852 Mitchell, congress, 1910. 23,282 Brady, congress, 1912. 21,995 Taggart, congress, 1912. 25,830 Crider, congress, 1914. 24,732 Taggart, congress, 1914. 28,472 Capper, governor, 1914. 25,353 Dawson, supreme court, 1914. 23,805 Mason, supreme court, 1914. 24,463 Marshall, supreme court, 1914. 25,123 Little, supreme court, 1914. 33,864 It will be seen that in 1914 in this Congressional district Col. Little led Justice Marshall by 8700 votes, led Justice Mason by 9400 votes, led Justice Dawson by 10,059 votes. Col. Little's vote was 8,511 greater than that given overnor Capper in the same district, and 9,182 larger than the vote given Mr. Crider, the Republican candidate for congress. Col. Little led Congressman Taggert in the district by 5,452 votes. A man who received the largest vote ever given in the district ought to be a pretty good candidate for a party that has been beaten three times in succession. The Western Spirit of Paola is conducted by Mr. Sheridan, Congressman Taggart's postmaster and Hon. Barney Sheridan, Mr. Taggart's principal manager. Naturally this paper is anxious to see the Republican nomination their weakest candidate so Mr. Taggart might win again, and they have been furnishing Mr. Guyer with political ammunition, but in their eagerness they over-reached themselves. A little while ago Mr. Guyer's paper, the Kansas City Kansan, published a clipping from the Western Spirit purporting to tell what Little said in a speech at Paola October 27, 1896. If Little had said it, it would have been no more than Guyer said frequently when he bolted President Harrison in 1892, but as a matter of fact Little not only didn't it but wasn't in Paola at the time of this meeting. An examination of the files of Barney Sheridan's paper in 1896 shows that Governor Leedy, Attorney General Boyle and State Senator Crossan were the only speakers that day. The Democratic papers must be mighty anxious to beat Little for the nomination when they will draw on their imaginations for ammunition, and Mr. Guyer must be mighty indifferent to Republican success when he uses Democratic ammunition to beat a Republican for the nomination who has so effectually demonstrated that he has the confidence and friendship of the voters of this Congressional district. Every one who wishes to see a Republican returned to congress should get behind this man Little who can win and who has demonstrated many a time that he has the ability and the character to make an efficient public servant. ATTORNEY McINTOSH CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE. Attorney Alex McIntosh, a resident of this city for sixteen years, has had cases in every court in Wyandotte county and also the supreme court. He has taken an advanced stand in every movement that had for its purpose the benefit of the city and country. Many of the wholesome reforms that now obtain were advocated by him when it was not thought by some of his co-workers, wise to do so. Attorney McIntosh maintains that he is the only experienced lawyer that is now a candidate for the judgeship of the north city court. He is a married man with a family and a tax payer and therefore is in touch with the various sides of human problems and is well qualified to sit in judgment upon the same. He is held in high esteem by the members of the bar. He is worthy of the careful consideration of the voters. He is an active, alert thoughtful attorney—a candidate for the judgeship of the north city court. And Independent KANSAS CITY, KANSA By A Large M A COLORED ENTERPRISE, L AND S ICE CO. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS, JULY 7, 1916. There is probably a good many of our people who are not aware of an ice plant owned and operated in this city by a colored company. This plant was built in the early spring, and commenced its operations about the first of May, and has been running 24 hours a day, and 7 days in the week ever since it commenced. While it is not a hundred ton plant, it is selling every cake soon as it is ready for the market. It is claimed by users of this ice, that it is superior in some respects than any ice in the city. It's made from pure well water and there is no taste of artificial ice as usually is discerned. Those who use ice should buy from this company as this is what we need to build up for ourselves, more business enterprises. This plant is quite a large investment for our people, and they deserve a great deal of credit in taking chances on a plant of this kind. It is located at 1612 North Third street, and it would please the management for you to come and see their plant and operations of making your ice. It is run entirely by colored help. Watch for their wagons with L. and S Ice cards on them. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC AT LARGE. The Hon. Cornelius J. Jone, chief counsel for Civil War revenue cotton tax claimants, with general headquarters in Memphis, Tenn., will speak at the Kingsolomon Baptist Church, Third and State avenue, Kansas City, Kansas, Sunday, July the 9th, at 8:30 P. M. o'clock. Rev. J. W. Clay, pastor. Mr. Jones will probably remain in the city several days and will attend the Western Baptist Convention while arranging his tour for the state of Oklahoma. Come to the Kingsolomon Baptist Church and hear him Sunday night, he is the greatest living Negro Statesman in America, and the fight he is making for his race is worth their chiefest consideration. Hon. Jones will be the guest of Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Clay, 203 Garfield avenue, Kansas City, Kansas. REPUBLICANS START BUSINESS. Campaign Headquarters Were Opened Yesterday. Wyandotte County Republican headquarters were opened yesterday in the rear of Lake's drug store, at the northeast corner of Sixth street and Minnesota avenue. Noonday meetings soon, the candidates having the privilege of conducting meetings in their own behalf. Bush Case to Be Tried Next Fall. The case of Louis Bush, negro, convicted Monday on a charge of assault upon Mrs. May Gunn, a white woman living in Argentine, and now awaiting trial on a further charge of burglary, was continued yesterday until September. The charge was preferred against the negro in the first division of the district court. I. O. B. and THANKSGIVING I. O. B. and S. of C.

SPECIAL ATTRACTIONS. Special arrangements are being made for a high diver and other devil attractions. BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTERS. If you are a booster come to Lincoln Electric Park.

Washington, July 6.—Pancho Villa today again broke into the Mexican-American situation as a leading factor. It was officially announced at the state department that the bandit chieftain whose raid on Columbus, N. M., had brought Mexico and the United States to the verge of war, is reported to be at the head of a large force of troops headed toward the American border. Dispatches from American residents along the border to the department today said that Villa is rumored to be near Farral. The advices did not give any estimate on the number of men Villa had with him. Another important development in the Mexican situation today was the positive statement, authorized at the state department, that General Pershing's expedition will not be ordered out of Mexico at this time as a result of Carranza's note. It was made emphatically plain that the American troops will not be withdrawn. City Force Cutting Weeds. Twelve men were put to work by Commissioner Beggs cutting weeds on the vacant lots of the city. A peculiar condition exists at the corner of Eleventh street and Laurel avenue, where a vacant lot is covered with poison ivy. This lot will be plowed, as this is the only effective means of killing the vine. K. P.S AND COURTS TAKE NOTICE. Those who expect to attend the Grand lodge sessions at Independence, Kas., this month, see the editor of the Advocate or Major Chas. Slaughter, for particulars as to rates and time of leaving, or call Bell West 455 W. for desired information. ADVOCATE Wyandotte Lodge No. 3 EIGHTH ILLINOIS COLORED REGIMENT PASSES THROUGH KANSAS CITY. The Eighth Illinois colored regiment of National Guards of 1600 men passed through Kansas City about 10 o'clock the Fourth of July on their way to the border. This regiment is officered entirely by colored men. Its headquarters are in Chicago, and is the sole regiment that has the distinction of having a full set of officers of their own race in the United States. This regiment made itself popular and prominent during the Spanish-American War. This famous colored regiment has a band of 50 pieces, and is considered to be one of the crack bands in military affairs. Their train stopped in the city for 2 hours, and they were admired by thousands, while the band played several national alrs. PUBLICAN CANDIDATE. Mr. H. F. Schaible announces his candidacy in this issue of The Advocate for the office of Register of Deeds of Wyandotte county subject to the Republican voters in the coming primary August the 1st. Mr. Schaible is one of our well known business men who has been in the grocery business on the corner of Third and Everett for a number of years. He is a staunch Republican and has all the requirements' for filling the office he seeks with credit and honor. He has lived in this county for 35 years and is one of its citizens who pays into the treasurer's office annually taxes of some considerable amount. Mr. Schaible has lots of true friends who are working daily for his nomination. There is no doubt of his election if nominated. FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH. The rally at First Church last Sunday was quite a success. More than $1,000 in cash was raised, which was considered very good for the lazy times. Bishop Parks, who was to have been present, was ill at his home in Chicago, and Dr. Vaughn, dean of Western University, preached an able sermon in the morning, and the pastor, Dr. J. R. Ranson, preached in the evening. Dr. McDonald, editor of The Western Christian Recorder, of Kansas City, Mo., was a morning worshiper, and made a few remarks. Some of the Church Clubs turned in several dollars more than their pledge of $100. All of these clubs will stay intact until the balance of the $3000 is raised. The Church was filled to its capacity down and upstairs Sunday morning. BE A BOOSTER The Negro Business League, one of the biggest things to our people in a business way, whose annual meeting will take place in Kansas City, Mo., or rather Greater Kansas City, in August, is expected to excel any previous National meeting in its history. We are not just saying this to have something to talk about or because its to meet in Greater Kansas City, but because it's another year older, and is still in its teens of youth, but ever since its birth by that great leader and educator, its founder, Booker T. Washington, every annual gathering has shown a remarkable growth in thoroughness of purpose as well as numbers. The commercial world of the Negro will be at this convention, and not merely to be seen, but to bring a message to his people and co-laborer that it might enable him to profit by an experience that was not a failure in the business world. Thousands of such men and women from all over this country will be here in August, and Greater Kansas City Business League and our good citizens will entertain these guests, as no other people can. Mr. Weaver, president of the local league, is the busiest man in all Kansas City and has his committees going all the time. Mr. Weaver believes in getting the best that is possible to be gotten, when it comes to entertaining strangers, and his whole ambition and desire is to make this convention just what it ought to be, the largest, best and most profitable to the race of any previous meeting. Miss Goldie Duke, of Topeka, attended the Jackson-Fine wedding. NO.46 MEAT PRODUCTION LAGGING BEHIND IT DOES NOT KEEP PACE WITH INCREASE OF POPULATION. In the Face of a World-Wide Movement to Encourage Growth of Live Stock Industry It Is Doubtful If It Can Catch Up and Prices Will Continue High. That meat production has not kept pace with the increase in population and that its failure to do so, combined with increased cost of production and diminished purchasing power of the money unit, has contributed to higher prices not only in the United States but all over the world, is stated in Part I of the exhaustive report on the meat situation in the preparation of which specialists of the U. S. Department of Agriculture have been engaged for some time. This country, it is said, is participating in a worldwide movement and it is not expected that the situation will undergo any radical change in t he immediate future. On t he other hand, it is believed that there will be a gradual growth and expansion in t he world's production of beef, mutton, and pork which may or may not equal the rate of increase of the meat-eating population. In America this gradual expansion appears to have begun already. Between 1907 and 1912 there was a marked decline in the number of cattle in the country but in t he last two years this has not only stopped but has given away to a perceptible increase. The estimated number on farms and ranges on January 1, 1916, 61,441,000, is, however, still much below the corresponding figure for 1907, 72,534,000. With t he exception of temporary checks due to losses from hog cholera, there has been in recent years a persistent increase in the production of swine. On January 1, 1916, the number in the country was estimated at 68,000,000 as compared with 58,200,000 in April, 1910. On the other hand, the number of sheep declined during this period from 52,500,000 in 1910 to 49,200,000 in 1916. As the decrease, however, is not sufficient to offset the increase in cattle and swine it may be said that the total production of meat in the United States is increasing but that this increase is not yet proportionate to the growth in population. The available supply of meat would be much greater if it were not for the enormous losses caused by disease and exposure. Since 1900 it is estimated that from 1,100,000 to 1,475,000 cattle have died each year from disease and from 600,000 to 1,500,000 from exposure. With sheep, the losses from disease have been about the same, but from exposure much larger. With swine the relative prevalence of hog cholera is perhaps the determining factor in t the annual loss. In 1894 this was as low as 2,200,000, but in 1914 it amounted to 7,000,000. If these 7,000,000 hogs had been saved, it is said, they would have produced enough meat to furnish every family in t the United States with 40 pounds of pork. Despite these facts the United States remains the greatest meat eating as well as the greatest meat producing nation in the world. Approximately twice as much meat is consumed in this country as in Germany before the war and the total normal consumption in Russia, Great Britain and France is less than in Germany. The per capita consumption is also far greater in this country than anywhere else with the exception of Australia and New Zealand. Our own exports now consist largely of pork and pork products and these are derived to a great extent from corn. In t he fiscal years 1914 and 1915 we imported more fresh, chilled and frozen beef and mutton than we exported, and more beef of all descriptions was imported in 1914 than was exported. In this limited respect we have joined the great majority. Practically the whole of the world's export trade in meat is maintained by nine countries, Argentina, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Mexico, under normal conditions, New Zealand, the United States and Uruguay.

A LARGE FIELD TO PICK FROM Wyandotte county has at this time one of the largest field. of Republican candidates that has been seen in a primary for many years. In this large number of office seekers you may find most every race eligible but the Negro. A race among the oldest in America, a people that has had as much to do in making it the greatest country known to the civilized world. A race who has made it possible for other races to rise from the state of poverty and ignorance to the highest honor in the gift of the people. A race whose loyalty and patriotism for his country has been weighed in the balance and never found wanting, but where do you find him today in Wyandotte county when it comes to breaking bread along side of the other races of whom many have come here as might be said, carpet baggers? No, not one colored man or woman in this large field of candidates is to be found upon the political rostrum for the most humblest office, and with no assurance of even getting an appointed position by those who expect to be elected. Look the field over, colored voters, and inquire into their lives in the past and their attitude toward fair dealings in the future. Don't let a few paltry dollars or a soft word of deceit keep your boy or girl from a chance of obtaining a position under some one who you have not, probably, personally known. Think of it, fifteen thousand of the race in this country and paying thousands of dollars every year in taxes to help run its affairs and only a few pennies coming back to us, in comparison with the great amount going in to homes of other races year after year, and some of them have spent half of their life in drawing public money and now are seeking to draw from the same till the other half, and have never even intimated to you that your girl or boy, who you have worked and toiled to give them an education, might be a share holder in their office, that you might get back some of the money you have been paying in for these many years. Are you going to still keep it up? Now look them over and support the men who says they will place your boy or girl. CARD OF THANKS. We wish to acknowledge to our neighbors and friends our heartfelt appreciation and thanks for the many kindnesses shown us in the breavement of our daughter, granddaughter and sister, Bessie Parker. We also thank those for the beautiful floral offerings. MRS. ELLEN PARKER, MRS. J. GOODLOW,Grandmother C. C. PARKER, J. A. PARKER. The Neighborhood Bible class for all denominations is growing rapidly. At its meeting at Mrs. O. B. Johnson's each one had a good lesson.

Green and others have enrolled their names. The next meeting is Monday evening, July 10th at Mrs. B. Carroll's, 1322 North Eighth street, promptly at 7. All are invited. Lesson, Acts 3rd Chap. 1-26. BATHURST STOVE COMPANY MAKING ENORMOUS REDUCTIONS. The Bathurst Stove Company, at 514 Minnesota avenue, and the largest store in Kansas City, Kansas, are making the biggest cut in refrigerators ever known at this season of the year. In fact, they are fall prices. This house carries one of the largest and best stock of combination stoves in the two cities, and as you well know what your gas supply is here in the winter. A combination is always ready for either gas or coal, so it makes it absolutely safe to those who has one of these stoves, when sudden changes come in temperature. Why should you buy two stoves when you can get two in one. The Bathurst company makes the stove line a specialty, therefore, handle better quality and at a lower price. They buy by the train load, where others only buy a car load. Another thing about this firm, every thing that goes out of their store has a guarantee on it. When Mr. Fisher, the genial manager of this house, tells a customer the merits of his goods one can as well depend on it being true as though you knew it yourself. The terms of this house is either cash or credit. These stoves run in price from $28.00 to $70.00. It will pay any one to see and get prices at the Bathurst store before thinking of any other place. SOME THOUGHTS. It is a little strange that Mexico with her sixteen millions can take Uncle Sam's pants off and dress her sons in his clothes and send him home neither naked nor clothed and accompanied by her soldiers dressed in cool delightful white linen. Such courage is not to be be-littled even by ninety-millions. --- Isn't it about time to quit nursing the "black mammy?" There are battles of peace that need courageous soldiers. The silent ballot box is the battle and the ballots become men and dwell among us. Let us see to it that a real man or a real woman comes out of the box. Welgh the various candidates. Quiz them politely and courteously to learn whether they have the courage to act in keeping with their spoken word. It is too late for "soft soap." --- Our attorneys have a severe handicap when their clients have a whiskey drinking, beer drinking, crap shooting key club record behind them. Bring them a good past record and when misfortune befalls you they will be able to compete favorably in the courts. Lawyers Henderson and Booker conducted their case with care and zeal befitting good professional men as they are. Prof. Hodge delivered an interesting and instructive address at the Allen Chapel A. M. E. church of Quindaro last Sunday evening. The subject was Education. It was delivered under the auspices of the Society for the Advancement of Colored People It is the purpose of the organization to occupy the various pulpits of the city each Sunday evening. Next Sunday evening Prof. Buster will speak at Rev. McMorris' church on North Ninth street. The following week a mass meeting is planned to be held at the new Baptist Temple. The Fall Campaign. There is no valid reason why several of the positions to be filled this fall should not make a place in some of the clerical positions for the capable men and women of ours. It is the extreme selfishness for one people to appropriate unto itself all the positions. A selfishness that a little thought of fairness would be eliminated. Let those who have it in their power to be fair, appreciate the fact that the man of color is an asset capable of increasing the material wealth of the city. We pay our taxes. Give us the pleasure of rendering service where a portion may come back to us. Has not the cruel, unkind, repressive police system of exclusion run its course? Quite a nice meeting of colored and white was held at the Metropolitan church Monday night from 8 to 10 to see about organizing the Sons of Veterans. Miss C. Wilson presided. Commander Stokes, another gentleman and two ladies made four whites who spoke and Mr. Thos. Knapper and Prof. Buster also spoke. All present pledged to work hard for this organization. The Ninth Street M. E. church gave a nice picnic at the park at Eleventh and Jersey avenue last Tuesday. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE BUSINESS DIRECTOR JEWELER BUSINESS DIRECTORY A.

KANSAS CITY, KAN. --- AND STILL THERE IS MORE. Having treated all the objections and claims, against Race Unity, however unworthy and baseless they have been—as if they were really worth considering as argument—brings us down to real old "Bull-headed" meanness—to those who express themselves somewhat as follows. "There is no reason why I should do anything to help keep a Negro (Nigger) living in ease—let them Get to it, like I do—I Don't owe them anything, and I Sho, Don't have to pay them." If we should concede that it is true, that by doing your duty toward your fellowman, you would be "Helping to keep him living in Ease" which, however, is not the fact; yet still, there would be absolutely no reason or ground for your conclusion. To all who think and reason in that way, I put the following question. 1. What reason is there for your helping to keep your "Other Friends living in Ease? 2. Why should he not Go and Get It, like you do? 3. What do you owe them—And Why—that makes you treat them better than you do your own fellows? "And you Sho Do." I really hope you will seriously think over these questions, and I would be glad, if you would speak out and answer them—this is a Friendly affair—from which we hope good will come. That is just what we ask—"Come let us Reason together, it will do Thee good." The purpose of this Appeal is not to Chide because of these short comings—but simply to call attention to them, in order that they may be corrected. We therefore earnestly hope that all who have decided opinions in these matters, will give us the advantage of them. That is why, we think it Just Right and Proper for those who charge that Negro Professional men are not Equal to, and up to the Standard of others—or that they are below the standard, in other necessary qualities, such as Honor, Honesty, Integrity and Manhood—to speak out and make your charges clear and plain—so that the one charged, if nobody else; will clearly understand. And it is not only Just, Right and Proper, but it is your Duty to do it. And in order that a measurable degree of success shall come to us, along these lines, it will be necessary for us to put the greatest possible amount of energy and force in operation to effect it. That is why, I maintain that it is incumbent upon the Minister, to lay on—Loud, Long and Regularly, for in so doing, he is making better and more substantial his congregation. That is why I maintain, that the Teacher should be deeply imbued with the Ideas and notion, because of his, or her great opportunity to implant the same in the Young mind. That is why I maintain—that of All, the Professional man should be the Last,—No not the Last—He should not at all. He should spurn to be guilty in the premises, as he would spurn to take a Poison Potion for when he fails to lend his best efforts to the building of a stronger and economically better constituency he is FALSE to his cause, to his Aace, and its best interests. And in connection with this point, 'Tis well to notice, that Christ RebUKED all other short-comings—but struck Ananias DEAD for FALSE-HOOD. Then come Preacher, Deacon and Layman, come Teacher and Parent, some Lawyer and Client, come DOCTOR and Patient, come and let there be no false Plays—no False Chords in the music—for, mark you—it is easy to see where the False play comes in, (the conduct of each of us, is before all others)—Come.

Mr. Charley Henry, of Emporia, spent July 4th in the city, the guest of Miss Clara Coffey. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE of years he was a Third party man. He is subject to the very criticism he advanced against Col. Little. What on earth the man was thinking about in precipitating such an issue we can't conceive. Evidently he thought he could get through the campaign and nobody would learn of his bolt, but people who live in glass houses should never throw stones. We are not interested so much in what happened twenty years ago or even twenty-four years ago when Guyer bolted. Pretty much everybody has bolted some time in these days. As a matter of fact Col. Little is better equipped for congress than Mr. Guyer and would make a better congressman. Mr. Guyer ran for congress in 1911 and polled 10,891 votes in this Second Congressional district. Colonel Little ran for the supreme court in 1914 and polled in this congressional district 33,864 votes. Everybody knows that the Colonel would make a much better candidate than Mr. Guyer. Instead of trying to stir up trouble for the nominee Mr. Guyer ought to get entirely out of the road and let a man who went to war and fought for his country have a fair test of the district.

GUYER BOLT THOSE WHO LIVE IN A GLASS HOUSE SHOULD NOT THROW BRICKS This is a time when the Republicans need every element. Since Mr. Guyer was overwhelmingly beaten for congress in 1911 the party has been all split to pieces, and every loyal Republican should be trying to get everybody back in the party. Mr. U S. Guyer has made it the principal point of his campaign for congress that in 1896 Col. Little like 70,000 more Kansas Republicans was a Free Silver Republican. The opposition of these men in this district itself is enough to defeat Mr. Guyer if nominated. When he attacked their leader after twenty years it immediately became impossible to elect Guyer. What we must do is to get together. Mr. Guyer's misunderstanding of the duties of a leader was never more clearly demonstrated than by his stirring up the rows of twenty years ago. However, after all Mr. Guyer's criticism of Col. Little it turns out that U. S. Guyer was a bolter himself before Little was. The Gazette Globe charges and Mr. Guyer's paper, the Kansan, admits that in 1892 U. S. Guyer bolted General Harrison, the Republican nominee for President, and the whole ticket. They admit that he bolted in other years and it becomes apparent that for a number GENI'S LIST LADIE'S L ST ```markdown ``` LINCOLNPARK NEW ATTRACTIONS, NEW CONGESSIONS, NEW SURPRISES NEW $2,000 SWIMMING POOL HAS BEEN ADDED.

Republican Candidate SHERIFF. Bell Phone 180 Grand THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE WOODEN BUGLE IS HISTORIC Instrument That It is Alleged Was Brought to America by the Pilgrims. R. M. Bever, living near Hillsboro, Ind., has a bugle, sald to have been made in England early in the seventeenth century, according to an exchange. It is three feet long, made of cedar wood in two sections which are glued together. It is about three inches in diameter at the base and tapers uniformly to a point. Around it are ten crude rings made from sections of a buffalo horn. It was brought to America in 1620 by the Pilgrims, it is believed, and tradition says it was carried by the army of Miles Standish in the expedition against the Indians. The earliest authentic account of it dates back to colonial days. It was used at the Boston tea party and was carried by the minute men in the battle of Lexington and Bunker Hill. At Bunker Hill the instrument was struck by a British musket ball and a portion of the end was torn away. It was at the siege of Yorktown and helped to celebrate the surrender of Lord Cornwallis in 1781. After the war the old bugle was handed down as an heirloom in the Bever family. Mrs. Michael Bever, the great-grandmother of the present owner, died in Tazewell county, Illinois, 45 years ago, when she was one hundred and four years old. She came into possession of the bugle when a very small girl, and later prepared a history of it. Upon her death the old heirloom was kept for a time by Joseph Bever, an old tanner of Hillsboro, and it then passed into the hands of L. M. Cooper and wife of Waynetown, from whom R. M. Bever received it five years ago. OWE DEBT TO SERVIAN BARDS Men of Letters Have Kept Alive the Spirit of Liberty Which Is the Country's Pride. The schoolmaster as the citadel and hope of national aspirations is today what he was a hundred years ago, when Korais laid the foundations of Greek independence by purging the native tongue of its barbaric infections and bringing it as near as possible to the language of Pericles. It may be the professional schoolmasters, or it may be the professors, writers, poets, who constitute themselves the schoolmasters of a nation. With the hedge priests of Ireland who kept alive the national spirit under fierce persecutions stand the Servian bards who, through the centuries, kept the national soul alive under the despotism of the Turk. As applied to racial awakenings, Faust's conclusion is wrong. In the beginning is not the deed, but the word, the word that often has to be taught to a people that has forgotten it, and even when half-learned falls upon their ears from an ancient past as a call to great deeds. It is the schoolmaster and the bookmen who have stirred up and led revolutions in our own day, the intellectuals in Russia, Nansen and Sigurd Ibsen in Norway, Braga in Portugal, D'Annunzio and Martinetti in Italy, and now Pearse and his predecessors of the Gaellic league in Ireland. Among the Jews today the revival of national aspirations expresses itself, in one form, through the rebirth of, the language of the Bible as a spoken tongue, a parallel strangely akin to the Gaellic renaissance.—New York Evening Post. The late George W. Smalley belonged at Yale to the class of '53, which included Isaac H. Bromley, the brilliant journalist; Henry C. Robinson, the leading Connecticut lawyer; Gen. Edward Harland of Norwich, distinguished in the Civil war; Edmund Clarence Stedman, the banker-poet; George H. Watrous, president of the New Haven road; Andrew D. White, former ambassador to Berlin and president of Cornell; Senator Tom Platt of New York, Senator Randall E. Gibson of Louisiana, Charlton T. Lewis, prison reformer and insurance expert; George Shiras, Jr., a member of the United States Supreme court; Episcopal Bishop Davies of Michigan, and Wayne MacVeagh, a leading lawyer and in Garfield's cabinet. This is quite a list for one Yale class to produce.—Waterbury American. Olive, aged four years, went for a walk with her father one June morning. Hearing a bird singing by the roadside she stopped to admire his beautiful black and white coat. "How do you know it's a bobolink?" asked her father. "'Cause I 'stinctly heard it bobble," was the reply.-Ladies' Home Journal. Chestnut blight has already done damage estimated at close to $50,000,000. The disease attacks both American and European species, but does little damage to those from Japan and China. Plant breeders by crossing Japanese chestnut and native chinquapin have produced resistant trees. Some of the Chinese chestnuts are said to grow 100 feet high in their home forests.
