The reports from the various charges of the two districts, were the best in the life of this conference. On educational night, Friday, more than $500 in cash was laid on the table by the audience for Western University, leading the Kansas conference. One of the most helpful hours spent each day was the ministers' institute from 8:30 to 9:30, in Bible study and discussions on various topics. Some minister of the conference served each day as chairman. Bishop Carey inaugurated this institute and is carrying it through all of his conferences in the Fifth Episcopal district. Wednesday evening the conference was welcomed to the city of Omaha and its homes, after which a fine banquet was tendered to the members of the conference. The pastor, Rev. W. C. Williams, and his loyal members gave one of the swellest conference entertainments during the entire session that has ever been seen any place in the West and has placed on the map of the Fifth Episcopal district and for that matter any other district one of the greatest church buildings. When completed will seat 2500, costing more than $100,000.00. Tuesday night Bishop Carey spoke at the second church, Bethel, Rev. Fred Divers, pastor, followed with a banquet.

The South is largely represented, with many of its professional and business men and women. The sessions have been full of business of both departments and the order shows a great increase in membership since its last meeting. Mayor Gordon welcomed the visitors to the city on Tuesday evening, including a fine program rendered by local talent. This morning a big street parade will take place and this evening at Pleasant Green Baptist church, a public installation will be held. The guests claim they have been royally entertained since coming to the city, and they will go away feeling that Kansas City is a good place to come. Rev. J. A. Broadnax of this city is Grand Master of King Solomon Grand Lodge of this jurisdiction and Mrs. Dovie Cummings also of this city, is Grand Matron of the Heroines of Jericho. Again the W. U. Bulldogs ran wild with the opponents unable to check them although they fought desperately and furnished the fans with a few thrills. Only the boys in the high school department were permitted to play as they were playing a high school. Russel Shepherd, now known as "young snake" acted captain, as Captain Starks is out of the game on account of injuries. Shepherd played a stellar game at the quarterback position against his home town. The Liberty boys knowing Shepherd's unusual ability sought every way to stop him but hands would not hold him. The High School team is composed of mostly new material, with only three last year's varsity men playing on it. But it is playing like a team of years. Working like a machine with the hand of Coach Willis directing it. Liberty High showed up well for a first year team. This is Liberty's first year and Friday was its first game. Although the score was 48 to 0 against their aggressiveness was not lost. The Bulldog High School team will meet Sumner High Friday, which will be the first Association game of the season. Mrs. Grigsby, on Nebraska, is still suffering some from her vaccination. COLORED VOTERS WATCH YOUR STEP. In this campaign there is more propaganda displayed to mislead and misguide the colored voters of the country, than has ever come to them in the history of their franchise. One bunch of political trixters will tell you this is the time to leave your conscience at home and vote this party and another bunch will advise you for the good of the race to line up with some disgruntled, unreliable bolting independent organization and another oily-mouthed straddler, will tell you this fellow is a kluxer or something else and when you get to the bottom of it all and taste the dregs, you will find everyone of them bitter as gall and a drink of their political prescription, one of sorrow to you and your family. We have some right here in our own city and of our own race, who would destroy and are trying to destroy some of the race's vital interest that has been built up for the good of the community. Beware of these cheap little unrighteous blood suckers. The thing for every colored voter to do is to support the party that causes the least trouble to the race. A party whose principles are against disfranchisement, jim crowism and segregation. Keep your ear to the ground, your eyes open and WATCH YOUR STEP. KANSAS CONFERENCE ASSIGNMENTS.

NATIONAL BASE BALL AND SERIES "I DIE PEE S We Owe this Chicago I have no too much this week not been g been g that last some r and still around. We are to the United getting made The world baseball series for the championship between the champion Monarchs of Kansas City, who has won two pennants in the Western League, and the Hillsdale champions of Philadelphia in the Eastern League started last Friday at Philadelphia, the Monarchs winning the first game, the Hillsdale the second, and then they moved over to Baltimore Sunday for the third game, which resulted in a 6-6 tie, 12 innings. It was played off Monday, the eastern champions nosing out in a 4-3 score. A three-game series will start Saturday, October 11, on the Monarch's own lot, twenty-second and Brooklyn. All games will start at 2 p. m. Four big lergue umpires are deciding balls and strikes in this world's championship contest. Mr. Wilkerson, manager of the Manarchs says the Eastern champions are a strong team, but is sure of his boys winning out, in the series of nine games to be played. Hillsdale will have to win three more games to win and the Monarchs four games. If the Monarchs win all three games on their own grounds, they will fall short one game and the eastern club would have to win all of the three games to cop the world championship. If these games do not decide the championship, it will be played off in Chicago, starting next week. These games are going to be hard fought by both teams and two of the greatest colored ball clubs ever went on a diamond will be seen in action Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Hutchison left Wednesday evening for a visit in the following cities: Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and Canada. --- "I DON'T WANT MY PEOPLE FOOLED" SAYS J.O. MIDNIGHT "I DON'T WANT MY PEOPLE FOOLED" SAYS J.O. MIDNIGHT We Can Not Hope from a Party Who Disfranchise Us Chicago, Ill., Oct. 9.—Do you think I have been knocking around Chicago too much this year? I am here again this week, but put it down that I have not been here all the time, and I have been going some since I wrote you that last letter, and I will be going some more when you read this one, and still the world moves around and around. We are getting just a little closer to the election of a president of the United States, and the people are getting their minds more and more made up. Some are going to be swayed by the spellbinders and will vote just as they are told, while others as just listening, and listening, and will vote the common sense way We have had prosperity and we want it to continue, hence they will tell President Calvin Coolidge to continue in the harness, and have associated with him Charles W. Dawes, and the country will be safe, and me and my people will rejoice and grow happy. I find that we are getting in shape for the big time and for a good time in this world and in the world to come. I am asking the Republicans to be brave, to be real men and by the eternal Moses we will break the solid South, but they must see to it that I have the free and unlimited use of the ballot. Do this, and we will show our country a thing or two. We need to not expect anything from the democrats, for they have disfranchised us, and are still trying to do more of it. I shall never forget next or last presidential election in Florida. I do not want my people fooled into voting away their rights, their manhood. I care not what W. H. Lewis and Kelly Miller may say, we are going to vote for the fellow who has given us the best chance for life, and who will be stirred to do even more in the future. Since I wrote you that last letter before this one, I left Chicago on the Nickel Plate iron horse carriage, headed for Cleveland, Ohio, where I had been invited to come and talk to the people. When I stepped off the stable in Cleveland, I found that Rev. Mack T. Williams was there with his automobile car carriage ready to tote me out to his home and church, and later to the place where I was to spend the time. You recall I have been to Cleveland before, and I am glad to return, or was glad to do so. We have many people in Cleveland, and they are there to stay, some have gone to heaven from that point already, and others have gone to the other place, the place of heat, the place where the winter winds have never been—in fact they do not have any wind there, but honey when the state of Louisiana gives its electoral votes for a republican for president of the United States, then the devil will make ice and serve ice cream to his inmates. You understand what I am saying. Reaching the parsonage Mrs. Williams, the wife of Dr. Mack T. Williams, met me, and assured me that she was glad to look in my lily black face. Told me to remain to dinner. Of course, that was an easy thing for me to do, although I had notified Dr. and Mrs. E. J. Gregg, that I was in town and would spend the time with them. But I am talking about Mrs. Williams. She comes from Nashville, Tenn., and is one of our well trained musicians. I am sure you will realize this when I tell you she is a graduate from Fisk university. She is a scholar of grade one. Rev. W. H. Moses was there for the purpose of chasing the devil out of the sinners, and if you know anything about Dr. W. H. Moses, you know that he is not a friend to the devil or sin, and that he is one of the most preachingest men in the country. He is preaching at the Antioch Baptist church.

Williams is the pastor and he is one of the educated men of the race. He has a good church and a good people, and he told me that the men of his church had a LaFollette club in the church, and some of the leading men of the church headed it. I will not say much about it this week but will have my say in another letter. I will tell you all the things that happened in this connection when I write again. After eating the chicken dinner, I was placed in the automobile car carriage and there escorted to the home of Dr. and Mrs. E. J. Gregg. They have a beautiful home right in the most exclusive residence part of the city, and he bought his home there, paying cash down for it, and right across the street from him is Bishop C. H. Phillips of the C. M. E. church. I congratulate him on securing for himself a real first class home. His wife is a Walden University product, and the sister of Hon. Eugene Booze, of Mount Bayou, Mississippi. Of course you know him, and his good wife who is National Committeewoman, from Mississippi. I had the pleasure of meeting the widow of the late Charles Banks, of Mound Bayou, Mississippi. She is the sister to Mrs. Gregg, and was up there on a visit. Was delighted to see her. I got much real pleasure out of this visit, and I am here to tell you that Dr. Gregg has one more fine home, and they are comfortable. I had the pleasure of speaking to many people there, remaining in the city Saturday, to Wednesday, and then off for Buffalo, N. Y., and this is for me a new place. I had an invitation to come there and talk to the people, and you believe me when I tell you that I spoke right out in church. I was the church guest of the Rev. Dr. Echols, pastor of a large Baptist church and a wonderful preacher. He had been out of the city, and left word for me to go to a certain place to stop, but bless your soul honey, I went to the speaking tube, got in touch with Mrs. Lambert Y. Ewing, and told her I would soon be there to dinner. I got my eats, and talked with her. I did not get to see her husband, Lambert Y. King, for he was out of town, but I remember when his wife came into the world via Frankfort, Ky. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Willis. She got her education and taught in the public schools for a long time, and then Lambert, who was born in Frankfort, went back on a visit and got her to come and take charge of his anticipated kindergarten. They are doing well. Now, for Buffalo, the people turned out to hear what I had to say, and I told them in plain words not to make a mistake. I told them that some would vote for the first time in life, for down home the white man had deprived them of the weapon which had been placed in their hands for protection. I told them to vote and vote wisely, and that it was dangerous to cast their ballot on election day for either Davis or LaFollette, and I wanted them to keep it in mind. I felt called upon to help to direct the way. After I had spoken, I had a conference with the leaders, and they told me that they were there to do their part for the election of Coolridge, and I agreed with them. After speaking an hour with them I went to the stable ready for the bed car on the iron horse headed for Cleveland, and then over to Toledo. Before saying anything about Toledo, permit me to tell you that Hon. Charles Cottrell, was a very sick man, and is now lingering between life and death, but we are all praying that God will spare him to us many years. He, is a great man. His friends and others_were not permitted to see him. I met the nurse, and she said he wanted to see me, but he could not. The nurse is Mrs. Ova L. Brooks, of Texas. She is doing well up there. I was glad to see a young woman from Texas wearing her R. N. button and delivering the goods. A long time ago I met a little girl about 9 years old in high school in Danville, Illinois, Roger Williams. Her mother was a graduate from Roger Williams, University, Nashville, and so impressed with the institution, that she named her daughter for the school. She has finished high school and now they live in Toledo, and she is studying now to plead at the bar, and I am of the opinion that she is going to make good. She is a wonderful little girl and has a wonderful mother, and a wonderful father. I stopped in their home during my stay in the city, although I had an invite to stop at the home of Mrs. Bertha French, formerly Miss Bertha-Dixon, a teacher in the public schools of Baltimore, but now the wife of an efficient mail clerk, and the mother of a fine son. We are producing people in this country. From Toledo, I made my way back to Chicago, and since I have been in the city I have called to see the headquarters of the National Republican Committee: I found them at work. Mrs. Carmile Cohen Jones, the secretary to Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, is one more busy woman. She knows the game called politics and she plays it well. She is an efficient secretary, and is putting forth all in her power to help to land Calvin Coolidge in the White House, to keep him there for four additional years. She is the daughter of her father, Walter Cohen, of New Orleans, and she is filling her place in the world as the wife of her husband and a worker for the success of her own people. Mrs. Myrtle Cook is now in charge of the Western Division of women, and she is the right woman for the place. Miss Hallie Quinn Brown is hard at work, and all the other workers. I am sure that the women of Kansas and Missouri and all that country will be delighted to know of the success of Mrs. Cook, and they will do their part. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop for this time. God bless you and the rest of the family. J. O. MIDNIGHT. Rev. A. W. Davis, Mrs. Jones, Wm. Boone, Dr. Davis and others made good talks at the Forum. The Metropolitan Sewing Circle played their 1-act playlet, "Not a Man in the House," at the Christian church, and realized quite a nice sum. ORACULAR WRITINGS REMAIN A MYSTERY The Silbyline books were a collection of oracular writings in three volumes, said to have contained the fortunes of the ancient Roman date. According to tradition they were purchased by Tarquinlus Superbus from the Cumaean Silyl, and deposited in the temple of Jupiter Capitolinus at Rome in a stone chest, underground. They were guarded by certain officers, at first two in number, but afterward increased successively to ten and fifteen. The Silbyline books were not open to public inspection, but -were consulted only by those in charge of them, at the special command of the senate. Whether they contained predictions or merely directions for propitiating the gods is difficult to determine in consequence of the mystery that enveloped them. They were destroyed by the burning of the temple in 82 B. C., but a fresh collection was made and deposited in the same building when rebuilt. In 12 B. C. the Silbyline books were transferred by Emperor Augustus to the temple of Appollo on the Palatine hill, where they remained until publicly burned by Stillicho, between 404 and 408 A. D. Many Religions at College Many Religions at College Twenty-five religious denominations are represented among the students of the Pennsylvania State college.

"I really can't think." "Oh, well, if it's as hard as all that, I'll wish for you," he said at last, obli-gly. "John," she cried happily, "you really wish for me? Then you can have me! This is sudden!" The Rivals Sheldon Whitehouse of the Paris embassy condemned, at a dinner on the Paris, the more immodest fashlons in dress. "I was talking to an old lady the other day," he said, "about two very beautiful young women whose taste is unfortunately a little immodest. "They spend a lot on their clothes," I said. "They're rivals in dress, aren't they!" "Yes,' answered the old lady. 'Yes, each tries to outstrip the other.'" Light Church Bells The village of Allraht, near Cologne, Germany, boasts of the first church bells made of alloy of aluminum and copper. Their weight being only one-third of the traditional bronze bells, the superstructures of the steeples may be built more lightly and interpenitively. Furthermore, there is no danger of the bursting or rusting of bells made of aluminum.
