HORSEY PREACHES FAREWELL SERMON Men and Women Pays Homage to Worthy Citizen and Family. MANY ATTEND RECEPTION AND SAY GOOD-BYE MONDAY NIGHT FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH. Last Sunday brought out to the services at First A. M. E. church unusual numbers, as had been previously announced that Dr. Kealing, that master theologian and intellectual giant, would preach at the 11 o'clock service which was a wonderful bit of eloquence and spiritual uplift. The Rev. Dr. Horsey, assistant pastor delivered his farewell service Sunday evening to a large and appreciative audience and his message so penetrated the hearts of his hearers, three came forward and joined the church, while two young men stood for prayers. On Monday night at the church a farewell reception was given in honor of Rev. Horsey and family. There were many who came to pay homage and scatter flowers at the feet of one whose life in this city and community for fifteen years had been as an oasis in a desert. Men and women, as representatives of church and state, brought out the worth and beauty of Christian manhood of this great character. Truths of unknown quantity were spoken of this high type of citizenship. Probably no family ever moved away from our city who carried so many friends in their hearts as Dr. Horsey and his lovable family did when they took their departure from Kansas City, Kas., Tuesday evening at 6 p.m. for Great Falls, Montana. Many fine eulogies were listened to by some of our great men and women and at times many a moistened eye could be seen in the audience. Those who took part on the program were as follows: Song, by choir; invocation, Dr. T. H. Johnson; vocal solo, Mrs. Estella Hayden; address, Mrs. Leota Miller; piano solo, Miss Louise Thompson; address, Mrs. Lillie Kearney, piano solo, Mrs. Fulbright; address, Prof. J. P. King; address, Dr. S. H. Thompson; address, Hon. C. H. M. Collins; address, Pastor Dr. J. R. Ransom; response, Rev. Dr. G. E. Horse; closing song by choir, "Take the Name of Jesus with You; benediction, Dr. Owens presiding, elder of the Omaha district, after which refreshments were served by the ladies. Prof. Shelton French was master of ceremonies: DOLLAR MONEY! DOLLAR MONEY! DOLLAR MONEY! ANNUAL CONFERENCE NEXT WEEK—DR. RANSOM PREACHES 'HIS FAREWELL SERMON SUNDAY, NIGHT Next week, beginning Tuesday at Wichita, Kas., the annual conference of this district will convene with Bishop Parks presiding. Kansas City, Kansas, being the metropolis of this conference, therefore it holds the honor of having the first church both in size and number in the conference, so it is always looked for to be first in all of its conference claims and if it should fall short of that First A. M. E. church of Kansas City would have to forfeit her long standing position as being first and another would lead. But she is not going to allow this to happen this year any more than any other year. She can't afford it. The members and friends of this great African Methodist Episcopal church in Kansas City are going to see to it that the excellent, hard working pastor, Dr. Ransom goes away next week still holding that place that he has held for years. So let us pay our dollar money—bring it, send it, or telephone to the pastor to come after it. WHITING'S SAMPLE SHOE SHOP 527 MINNESOTA AVENUE. The Whiting Sample Shoe Shop at 527 Minnesota avenue, has made in the last year, the greatest stride in business of any like store on the avenue. This firm is less than two years old, but by fair honest dealing, and giving every customer full value with a small profit to the house, its genial manager and proprietor. Mr. Whiting, has come to the front, and at the VOL. 3. RECEPTION same time holding the confidence and good will of all his customers. The main success of this firm has been its quality of footwear at a very small profit and one other great factor is to be considered and that is, you always get the truth, as to quality of goods in Whiting's shoe store. There is no store of its kind in Kansas City more reliablo than this shoe house. They carry an up-to-date stock and a large one, and their prices are certainly right. REPUBLICANS WLL WIN SAYS CHAIRMAN CARSON The Republicans of Wyandotte county are more cemented together with one hardenious effort for victory this fall than has been seen for a dozen years, says Chairman David Carson of the Republican county committee. Mr Carson further stated that the whole ticket would be elected with majorities running to 1500 or 2000 votes. Chairman Carson and his committee are getting things in shape to make one of the most searching and thorough campaigns that has been waged in old Wyandotte for many years. The Republican ticket this year in an exceptionally strong one, every candidate on the ticket is clean out and their ability to fill these places of trust is unquestionable. The colored voter is naturally a Republican and can always be relied upon as doing his whole duty so long as he is not handed the dog's paw and he has been given the assurance when the G. O. P. returns back to where they belong November the 7th all will be treated as of olden times. There will be a number of national spell-binders secured by the committee who will speak here before the campaign closes. THE CITIZENS' FORUM. The Forum of Greater K. C. Church opened with great pomp and ceremony last Sunday at Metropolitan Baptist Temple, the largest and finest church on this side. As architects say it holds 1500, about 1,000 persons were present in the lower auditorium. Promptly at 4 o'clock Mrs. W. Dwiggins, the president, Mr. Truman, the critic, Rev. A. Brown, the chaplain, and Mrs. M. C. Matthews, reporter, were in their stations. The Inter-city band played selections and the chaplain rendered the divine service. The president appointed Mr. Walter Maddux, secretary pro tem, and the following program was rendered: 1 Music, band, enceded; 2. Quotations. 3. Current Events, Mrs. I. F. Bradley. 4.

Davis, J. H. Clayborne and H. Dwiggins were appointed to get statistics and data for the Forum of the colored residents of Kansas City, Kansas, in order to show our progress in accumulating property, etc. Prof. Kealing gave such a practical talk that a vote of thanks was given him. Prof. Reynolds is called the finest tenor singer west of the Mississippi river and is also one of our finest music teachers. RECEPTION AT FIRST BAPTIST. A large crowd attended the reception for the Carnival workers at the First Baptist church Monday evening. Prof. J. J. Lewis introduced Mr. Gerren, the master of ceremonies, and the principal features of the program were: Crowning the queen, president's message and vocal solos by Misses M. Stuart, O. Scott and Dr. Radford. Miss Lulu Wilson was encored on her monologue. The pastors of the five Baptist churches made remarks, and trick ice cream of 3 colors, delicious cake and punch were served to all. The carnival netted $220 aplece to each church.

BLANTON, PARKS, D.D. Bishop of the Fifth Episcopal District, Who Will Preside Over the Kansas Annual Conference Next Week, at Wichita. PROFFESSOR JACKSON MAKES GREAT IMPRESSION ON THE GOLDEN STATE R. G. Jackson, of Western University, and one of the race's greatest music teachers, has returned from California where he was invited by the Allensworth Literary and Industrial club to put on a play in the Trinity auditorium, one of the leading playhouses in Los Angeles. He had one hundred voices in a program of two parts; the first part consisted of folk songs, organ and piano numbers and the second part. one hundred trained voices in Coleridge Taylor's Hiawatha Wedding Feast dramatized. The stage setting was elaborate, including palm, tee, pine trees and other Indian effects which were loaned for the occasion by the park commissioners of the city. The auditorium was filled to its full capacity and a large sum was realized which was for the benefit of the Old Folks Home. Prof. Jackson also had his chorus of 100 voices at the First M. E. church and had an audience of more than 2,000 people. The professor says he played on one of the biggest pipe organs he ever played on in this church, having 86 stops, contained harps, chimes, bells, orchestral effects and has one stop that sounds like a real human voice, this being the first time a colored person has ever played on it. He also assisted with the music at Bishop Park's conference, and gave a concert in Oakland with 100 voices. The professor says the people in California certainly know how to treat and entertain a visitor. Dinner parties, ocean parties and automobile parties were galore. While in Los Angeles Professor Jackson organized a Western University club with 16 students there. Their purpose is to give a scholarship to some worthy person every year. The press and public of the Golden State honor and admire in the highest degree, the talent of Kansas's great musical genius. VOTE FOR PRESIDENT INSTEAD OF ELECTORS. Kansas voters this fall will have less work to do in casting their ballots for president and vice president than in 1912, J. T. Botkin, secretary of state, has discovered in preparing the ballots for the next general election. Instead of having to vote for each presidential elector, as in 1912, the voters simply will have to make a cross in the box to the right of the name of their choice for president, this mark casting the ballot for the entire list of ten presidential electors of the party. Republican voters, for instance, will have to make their mark only after the name of Charles E. Hughes at the head of the ticket to express their preference for president. The 1913 legislature changed the law, which in 1912 would have required the voter express his preference for ten presidential electors. A large number attended the Vespers on Sunday afternoon and received much inspiration from the gospel team of the Washington Avenue church. Attend Vespers next Sunday. You will not regret the hour you spend in this way. About a week ago, a group of teachers met at the "Y" and organized the Boosters. They elected the following officers: High chief booster, Ethel Caution-Davis; Assistant chief booster, Lottie Tipton; scribbler, Sadie Buster; assistant scribbler, Ora Carter; tinkler, Jessie Saunders; boost-the-boosters, Beulah Burke. Club motto: 'Stiffen your back bone, set your jaw bone, throw away your wish bone, and boost." The club is trying to raise $40 for winter coal. We can secure our coal cheaper if we have this money in a short time. Help us out. The "Y" Utility club met at the "Y" on Monday and decided to present the "Y" with some sheets. Coming!

Cook Furniture company, one of the largest in the city, has at this time one of the largest stock of household furnishings that ever came to Kansas City, Kansas. Mr. Cook with his long experience in this business, is probably one of the best buyers in the west and knows better what the people want than any other man in like business in this part of the country. Mr. Cook has several advantages over many dealers, as he is out of the high rent district and large buying capacity gives him a lower rate, and he gives to his customers the difference. This big furniture house is located in its new home at the corner of Fifth and Virginia streets, and is one of the biggest and most handsome stores in the city. It has three floors with thousands of feet of floor space. Mr. Cook and his salesmen are very courteous and one feels at home in his store. Read the big ad in this issue. The Masonic banquet that was to be held at their hall next Thursday evening has been changed to First A. M. E. church on that evening, September 28th. Y. W. C. A. NOTES NOTICE. ADDRESS IN BEHALF OF CLASS LEADERS. To Dr. Horsey. (By Mrs. Lillie Kearney.) Master of Ceremonies, Pastor, Sisters, Brethren and Friends:: When asked to deliver an address or short talk to say good-bye to our beloved friend and co-worker, Rev. Dr Horsey, on behalf of the class leaders I wondered what could I say that would be of worth to this giant. Brothers and Sisters, too much good cannot be said of this great and yet little man. He is great because he stands for that which is noble, upright and true. He is a little man because he doesn't mind coming down and doing the little things. Show me the man or woman starting out in public life and draw him or herself to one side and say "O, I can't mix with the common people," and I will show you a man or woman who will soon make a bankrupt of their profession and will become a commoner themselves. But not so with Rev. Dr. G. E. Horsey—he is a mixer; he goes down in the humble walks of life rescuing the perishing, caring for the dieing and then comes back to his standing in the profession and society with unsouled hands and garments unspotted. Dr. Horsey is a believer in religion. I mean a practical religion. He believes in practicing what he preaches and that's the only kind of religion to have. The man that preaches one thing and practices another will not be a preacher very long. When Dr. Horsey is gone we shall miss him in the early prayer meetings. We shall miss him in the Holiness meetings. We shall miss him in the class room. We shall miss him in the services on Sunday mornings. Yes, we shall miss him going up and down the streets performing his medical and religious duties. We shall miss him at the bed side soothing the pain and cooling the scorching fever. Dr. Horsey is like our blessed Christ—he is going about doing good. Some people believe in saying mean and unpleasant things about you while you are living and when you are dead then strew the flowers on your casket and say he or she has done well. But not so with the class leaders of the First A. M. E. church. We will give our flowers when the sweet odor can fill every receptacle of the heart and give consolation to the troubled mind. Rev. Dr. Horsey, we will say to you, go on in the Master's vineyard and work and when the world's fierce winds are blowing temptations sharp and keen and the clouds of besetments and disappointments over-shadow and darken your pathway and you will have to walk alone by faith with God, let this one thought be your staff on which to lean, the class leaders of the First A. M. E. church are ever praying for you. When thus assunder we part not like in death, but are still joined in heart and hope to meet again. N. W. BAILEY, COAL DEALER. The N. W. Bailey Coal firm at 1969 North Third street. is doing a nice business and his teams are kept busy early and late in filling orders. There is one thing you can say of Mr. Bailey, when you order a ton of coal you may feel sure of getting 2,000 pounds. This coal firm carries all high grade coal and will be delivered to your home in small or large lots. Mr. Bailey is a colored dealer and he ought to be carefully considered when it comes to buying your fuel. His prices are with the market and there is no excuse whatever for not giving him your patronage. The Advocate is always ready to help boost any race business that is trying to do something in a commercial way and is in harmony with other race enterprises. METROPOLITAN CHURCH. The congregation of this church was delighted to greet the pastor, who has returned from Cheyenne, Wyo., revigorated. He preachd at 11 a. m. from Job 22:21 and at 8 p. m. from the 55th Chapter of Isalah. Both sermons were spiritual and effective. Judge Booker, of K. U., joined at the morning service and Mrs. Henderson of Dallas, Tex., joined at night. The rally started off with $342, to be finished up Sunday, September 24. NO.5 "POTATO KING" GROVES TO GIVE HOME BUYERS CHANCE A GREAT OPPORTUNITY TO GET A COUNTRY HOME. In an interview this week with Mr. J. G. Groves, known as the potato king over the country and who lives on the Kaw Valley road near Edwardsville, this county, the question was asked him as to how our people had taken hold of the small farm offer which he sometime ago put on the market for his people. His reply was, "I have become disgusted. While some have grasped the opportunity of securing a home and small farm at a low figure and easy terms. He said further, that it was his sole purpose to increase the colored population of that community and in order to do so he would make a great sacrifice in cutting up part of his farm that they might have something to make a living out of the sole and at the same time secure a home. As Mr. Groves loves his people and wants to share a part of his labor of success with them, says he will give them another opportunity to take advantage of this land sale, but will not fool with it long if the people don't take hold of it. This chance of getting a country home from one to ten acres probably may never come by your door again as there is no other place in and about Greater Kansas City with such favorable conditions as the Groves proposition. And we would advise any one who would like to have a nice country home right on the interurban to see or write Mr. Groves very soon, Edwardsville, Kas. It is certainly a chance of a lifetime to get a home on such terms. SARGEANT LUMPKINS DIES WHILE CALLING ON ONE OF HIS LODGE BROTHERS. Sergeant A. Lumpkin, of 417 Nebraska avenue, and one of Kansas City, Kansas', prominent and noble citizens, dropped dead Thursday about noon while calling on one of his lodge brothers on Greeley avenue. While Mr. Lumpkins had not been feeling so well for several days, nothing of a serious nature was expected by the home, as he attended to his daily labor, being employed at the Skukert building, Grand avenue, on the other side and took care of his work Thursday morning as usual and going to his friend's home before he returned to his noon lunch. He stated to his friends how badly he felt and his physician, Dr. S. H. Thompson, was sent for but he passed away before medical aid could be administered. Mr. Lumpkins was a retired sergeant of the famous Tenth Cavalry and has been living in this city about seven years and lived in, and owned a beautiful home at the number mentioned. He was a staunch and devoted Christian and was an active member of the First Baptist church. He leaves a lovable wife, Mrs. Margaret Lumpkin, one sister and one brother, both living out of the city. The funeral will probably be held Sunday or Monday and interment will be made at Ft. Leavenworth, Kas., where all military honors will be given this soldier, citizen and Christian character. The good wife has the fullest sympathy of the community, Including The Advocate, in her sad hour of bereavement. GRAND LOGE OF U. B. Fs. & S. M. Ts.—LARGE NUMBER IN ATTENDANCE. The U. B. Fs. and the S. M. Ts. of the state of Kansas held their Grand Lodge session this week at Leavenworth. Rev. George McNeal, Grand Master, presided. A very large number were in attendance and much business transacted. This order has grown rapidly under the leadership of Rev. McNeal and the district feels the strength and influence of this great organizer. The session closed Friday night with a number of contest drills from both departments. Kansas City, Kansas, sent up two companies, one representing the U. B. Fs. and the other the S. M. Ts. They went in a special car today. TT KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE.

It was a pleasure to be called back to the scenes of one’s university life —the scenes of hard study, of hard knocks, of hunger, of scarcity of money, of struggle and final achieve- ment. To be grected by a full house of one’s friends and strangers is worth struggling with life’s difficult prob- lems to enjoy. a Such was the writer's pleasure when he arrived in Lawrence last Sunday to make the opening address at the Lawrence Forum. Fifteen years ago it was his pleas; ure to share in its organization, and tu know that it has been going ever since and that many university stud. ents as well as the citizens of Law. rence have shared in its benefits is cause for rejoicing. With men like Mr. Wm. Wright, Vresident Rey. Jackson, Rev. Hender- son and Dr..Harvey the success of the forum for this year is assured. I; was gratifying to have a part in its openings. a. i. pena PARENT-TEACHER MEETINGS in a few days or weeks the atten. tion of parents and teachers will be directed toward — Parent-Teachers’ meetings. , This is a much needed movement and should be attended by every par. ent who has a child in school, and in fact by every adult 1dr some time dur ing the school year he comes in 4ouch with some child and can be of aid to it, I should like to define the Parent. Teachers’ meeting as an occasion for developing a mutual understanding of the life-habits of the child. This is of extreme importance. The parent is aware of some of the pecu- liarities of the child. In the presence of the parent the child reacts in a cer. tain way. In the~teacher’s presence reaction may be entirely different.g, These meetings which offer abund. ant opportunities for free and open discussion of children's habits, will do much to advance the child's work. Many parents are impatient with their children due largely to a lack of knowledge of the child's physical and mental activities. Many teachers fail to zet the proper response because they have not taker the time to Tear of the child's home eovironment. It must be admittec that the home surroundings, physical tucntal and moral make-up to a larg extent affect the child's thought-world * Let the parents and teachers unit forces to the end that the child may awake more rapid progiess in its de yelopment. —G.

The King sweeps wide his magic rod, And from every hill and valley Spring plumes of gold that wave and nod. Aye; his reign is sweet, this gold King. But summer, he did drive away.

Ave. 1 RECLAIMING A GREAT SWAMP Scientific Farming on an Eleven-Thousand-Acre Tract in Western New York. One of the largest and most scientific agricultural enterprises in the eastern part of the United States is a farm in western New York. Popular Mechanics Magazine tells of scientific methods and modern implements used on this big farm, which has been in the course of development for the last three years. This farm comprises 11,000 acres and is two miles long and nine miles wide. A trip of sixty miles is required to pay off all the help. The undertaking is backed by New York financiers and is managed by a civil engineer who is also a scientific farmer. The land comprising this farm was originally a vast, undrained swamp, and its reclamation was accomplished only by employing a dredge which cut a deep main canal, with many lateral branches, through the tract. As the land was drained lumbermen were put on it to clear off the trees and stumps with axes and dynamite. These workmen were followed by others with fivegang plows, etc., drawn by caterpillar tractors of light construction. These light engines have almost wholly supplanted horses on the farm and are a source of special interest to the boys of the farmers. One tractor has eight times the pulling power of a horse. Of the 4,000 acres of muck land in the tract, only about 1,000 acres have been reclaimed and are now in use. Much of the farm is devoted to truck gardening conducted on a strictly scientific basis. A cost system is maintained, and it is possible to know just what each crop costs. All the produce is prepared for shipment according to factory methods. The crates are made on the farm, a special nailing machine being one of the labor-saving devices used in their construction. The workmen are well provided for with bungalows of modern type and with modern social conveniences, and such improvements as telephones, electric lights, etc. An evidence of the success of the enterprise is that much of the land is now valued at $500 per acre. HOW SUNBURN MAY BE CURED Really Painful Affliction Can Be Alleviated If Treatment Is Undertaken at Once. Sunburn is often extremely painful. In many cases, where a girl has been out in the sun practically all day, the skin blisters and causes very real suffering. It is a wise girl who knows how to care for her own sunburn, for she will save herself a good bit of pain by doctoring it at once. When you return to the house after a day in the open and find your arms, neck and face all rose colored from the sun, don't stop to question why, but start in treating it at once. The burn never hurts the first day and sometimes it does not the second day, but you will certainly get it the third, unless you are very careful. Don't wait until the skin begins to itch and smart before you put on a cream, but at the first sign of rose color, where white usually is, start your doctoring at once. Cocoa butter is excellent to take the sting out of sunburn and witchhazel cream is another fine emollient. Rub either one in well at the first appearance of the burn and then again the next day and you will not be bothered so much by the pain and itch. In increasing Motor Truck Efficiency. In a recent issue of Factory a contributor suggests a simple yet most efficacious method of securing greater service from any motor truck. He recommends the use of a number of crates or tubs, which can be loaded at any time and handled by a derrick which places them on and removes them from a motor truck. Thus the motor truck becomes practically independent of loading operations and the minimum of time is spent in loading and unloading. If a trailer is used in conjunction with a motor truck, this system of loading is even more effective. Will He Go? "And where do you expect to go next?" we asked the great explorer when we had finished interviewing him about the results of his latest expedition. "I don't know," he replied. "You see, I've been to about every place there is except one." "And that is?" "That's the place the taxi driver told me to go to when I refused to pay him any more than the exact legal fare." "Where are the snows of yesterday?" inquired the man who quotes poetry. "Never mind that," rejoined his wife. "The important question is, 'Where is the ice that was due to arrive this morning?' "What are you doing, Billy?" asked Mrs. Nannie Goat of her son. "Practicing economy, maw," replied Billy, who was chewing on an old umbrella. "I'm putting away something for a rainy day."

Drafts issued to all parts of world. THE BANK OF PERSONAL SERVICE. (International News Service.) Topeka, Kas., Sept. 22.—The Wyandotte County Gas Co., the local distributing company which supplies Kansas City, Kansas, with natural gas, appeared before the public utilities commission yesterday, by its attorney, J. W. Dana, presented an application for an increase in the rate for natural gas from 28 cents to 30 cents. The Wyandotte County Gas Co. desires this increase in order to enforce its contract with the Kansas Natural Gas company, which calls for a rate of 30 cents to be in force after November 19. "We desire this rate in order that we may enforce our contract with the Kansas Natural." said Mr. Dana. Judge H. J. Smith, city counsellor of Kansas City, Kansas, was present at the hearing and told the commission that Kansas City intended to instil upon the fulfillment of all contracts by both the Kansas Natural and the Wyandotte County Gas Co. and that he would insist upon an adequate supply of gas. "Kansas City is willing to pay 30 cents for gas if we have a sufficient supply" said Judge Smith. "We do not oppose that price if we get gas but we will oppose a higher rate with no more gas than we had last year." The utilities commission took the application under advisement. Alienist Say Ruby Was Sane. (International News Service.) Iola, Kas, Sept. 22.—Three alienists called to pass upon the mental condition of Ruby Stephens, on trial here for the murder of Clifford Kistner, answered they believed she was sane at the time of the shooting. The physicians were Drs. D. J. Walker and P. S. Mitchell of Iola and Dr. R. S. Lane, of Topeka. All said the slayer's methods, deliberations and reconizance of surroundings indicated that she knew what she was doing. Rev. G W. Schulenburger, pastor of the Methodist church at Kincaid, testified that during his 5-years' pastorate he had never seen Ruby Stephens at church, although Kistner and Rosetta Smith were often there before their marriage. DISCHARGE 8-HOUR TALKERS. Railroads of South Face New Labor Crisis (International News Service.) Montgomery, Ala., Sept 21.—That trouble is brewing between certain railroads of the south, and the four brotherhoods is indicated by mutterings heard from employees, who charge that the railroads are discharging men active in the campaign for the eighth hour day. At Nashville there have been a large number of employes of the Louisville and Nashville railroad laid off in the past ten days. While no formal action has yet been taken, the fact has become known that the representatives on the Nashville brotherhood of Railway Trainmen, and Warren S. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers are to come to Nashville, and conduct an investigation. (International News Service.)

STATE TO PROBE DUDLEY LYNCHING STATE TO PROBE DUDLEY LYNCHING GOVERNOR CAPPER DIRECTS ATTORNEY GENERAL BREWSER TO INVESTIGATE. The Mob Said to Have Organized at Stillwell, Though the People of That Place Did Not Hear of the Lynching Until Yesterday Afternoon. A state investigation into the lynching of Bert Dudley at Olathe carry yesterday morning was ordered by Governor Capper at Topeka yesterday afternoon. "The act was deplorable and the lynchers will not be allowed to go unpunished," the governor said. "I have directed the attorney general to make an investigation and report to me. Until this is available I do not believe I should discuss the lynching. This is the most serious blot on the fair name of Kansas that has come for many years and every power of the state will be used to erase it." It was currently reported in Olathe yesterday that the mob which lyncher Dudley was formed at or near Stillwell and it moved to Olathe in a string of motor cars. However, the people of Stillwell professed to have known nothing of the lynching until late yesterday when C. L. Randah, county attorney of Johnson county, and E. G. Carroll, the suspended sheriff, told the news when they visited Stillwell. Stillwell was astounded to know the rumors it had heard were true. Everybody in the town asked Mr. Carroll and Mr. Randall for the details. After spending two hours trying to find some claw in Stillwell that might lead to the identity of the mob, Mr. Carroll and Mr. Randall returned to Olathe the last night. The first definite information as to where the mob came from was given by M. T. Meredith, treasurer of Johnson county. He heard the procession of motor cars pass his house about midnight. Mr. Meredith lives five miles southeast of Olathe. Sheriff Carroll, automatically suspended from office for allowing a prisoner to be taken from him and lynched, late yesterday afternoon sent his application for reinstatement to Governor Capper. The application was drawn up by S. B. Scott, the attorney appointed by Judge A. O. Ranin to defend Dudley in his trial. It will be at least ten days before Carroll can be reinstated, the county attorney said. DUDLEY BARNHART SLAYER. That Is the Story Told at Olathe Today. Olathe, Kas., Sept 22.—While Johnson county waited calmly today for the attorney general of this state to begin investigation of the lynching of Bert Dudley, convicted murderer of Mr. and Mrs. Mueller, a discovery was made which probably solves the mystery of the murder of George Bernhardt, his mother, Mrs. Emelline Bernhardt, a farm hand and a 16-year-old boy visiting at their home. The story came from the lips of Fred Stickler, a farmer living ten miles northwest of here, while he rested for a while from his labors in the field. To Stickler, in the jail here, Dudley made statement s which indicated strongly he had been instrumental in the murder of the Barnhardts their hired man and the boy, between here and Stilwell in 1910. Stickler and his brother Charles were in the jail on charge of hog stealing, but, were released before Dudley came to trial. Stickler said Dudley showed a spirit of bravado after his confession of the murder of the Muellers. He was talkative and the Sticklers listened. "I suppose this will blow over like the Bernhardt murder did. If we had kept the mail box empty no one would ever have known of the Bernhardt case," Sickler says Dudley told him.

A Representative of the Bureau of Naturalization Here to Interest Foreigners in Our Night School—Large Employers of Labor to Help Along the Movement. The United States government, through the department of commerce and labor, is taking a great interest in educating the foreign born residents and making good American citizens of them. To this end it is encouraging these foreign residents to enter the night schools that are being conducted in many cities, in order that they may avail themselves of the opportunity of educational instruction in Americanization. W. S. Wolf, a United States naturalization examiner of St. Louis, is in the city today for the purpose of working up interest among the foreigners in the night school which is to reopen October 9 under the principalship of Prof. I. B. Morgan. Mr. Wolf said today the government is highly gratified with the work done in Kansas City, Kansas, for the education of foreigners, and it was having a telling effect on the making of new and desirable citizens of them. Approximately there were 165,000 foreigners in the night schools of 650 cities last year. Mr. Wolf said, and it is expected the number will be increased this year. In Kansas City, Kansas, which is a pioneer in night schools for foreigners, more than 100 foreign born residents attended the school last year and it is proposed to almost double the attendance this year. Mr. Wolf is urging the Mercantile club educational committee to give attention to the matter of encouraging foreigners to attend this school. He visited the packing houses and other industries employing many foreigners and as a result these employees will co-operate with the government in this work. The government is securing the names of foreigners needing educational instruction and by co-operating wit the school authorities the work can be effectively done. A text book for the instruction of adult foreigners is soon to be issued by the government for free distribution. Rolls Away Live Bomb. London, Sept. 21.—It is officially announced that Private W. J.
