COPYRIGHT THE NEGRO IN BUSINESS There has not been a time since the emancipation that the Negro has attracted so much attention to his ability and business attainments as now. In all sections of the United States, in foreign countries, and on the isles of the sea where the Negro is congregated to any extent he is launching successfully, into every avenue of business and trade that is open to him. Some of the most successful commercial agents of our government are found in the ranks of its Negro appointments. Some of the ablest financiers in this country are housed in a dark skin and manipulating the affairs of many of the most rapid growing business institutions. The Negro has ventured and failed in the same manner and under the same financial laws that the white man has, but his greatest foe in most cases may be charged to a lack of confidence and patronage from his own race. The holdings and wants of the Negro in this country are heavy enough to maintain large and Prosperous business institutions of nearly every variety and still allow seventy per cent of his business to go to other institutions. He is not selfish in the distribution of his patronage for he continuously carries his trade to the very people who he knows will show him no manly quarters in business, politics nor society. He should not desire the latter, but he should look well for the other two. The Negro has not well learned either, that a business among his own people properly supported, makes places for the hundreds of boys and girls who Muskogee, I. T., Thursday, August 10,1905. J S BROWNLOW, MANAGER. graduate from our schools each year and keeps them from the cook kitchen, hotel and sporting places. The young Negro needs a chance to enter business pursuits and such needs can be supplied only in Negro business institutions. No race nor people can hope to gain nor maintain a creditable standing with other races or people who fail to properly regard and support its own institutions and needs. Races like individuals, who fail to respect themselves and provide for their immediate needs cannot hope to hold the respect and confidence of others. We should show that we give greater concern to our own welfare than anyone else does even much greater than we may hope for others to bestow. Let us follow the business example of our energetic, aggressive white neighbor—work to promote every interest, whether in business or otherwise. that will give the race more prestige, more influence, more strength and more wealth.

A Dental Treasurer Trove "I know where I could go, right here in this country, and dig up millions of dollars' worth of treasure," said a dentist. "Where would I go? To our cemeteries. To the mouths of our dead. In the teeth of our dead enough gold is going to waste to enrich a small town. "You have in your teeth $10 in gold. Your sister has $5. Your father and mother each have $7. And there are ninety million people in America. "Allow to each person's teeth a half dollar's worth of gold. You have then forty-five million dollars hidden in our mouths. When we die this gold won't be extracted. It will be buried with us. "To take the gold from the teeth of the dead before burial would be neither difficult nor gruesome. It would be a good idea to pass a law requiring that all this gold, which does no good in the grave, to be removed after death and distributed in charity." Beautiful Savages?

Forwarding a photo of a splendidly handsome and healthy young boy, a happy mother writes from an Ohio town: "The enclosed picture shows my 4-year-old Grape-Nuts boy. "Since he was 2 years old he has eaten nothing but Grape-Nuts. He demands and gets this food three times a day. This may seem rather unusual, but he does not care for anything else after he has eaten his Grape-Nuts, which he uses with milk or cream, and then he is through with his meal. Even on Thanksgiving day he refused turkey and all the good things that make up that great dinner, and ate his dish of Grape-Nuts and cream with the best results and none of the evils that the other foolish members of the family experienced. "He is never sick, has a beautiful complexion, and is considered a very handsome boy. May the Postum Company prosper and long continue to furnish their wholesome food!"

The Reservation contains 2,445,000 acres, but the Military and Forestry Reserves and such Mineral lands as have to be withdrawn under existing MAP OF THE UINTAH RESERVATION, UTAH Reached by the Denver & Rio Grande System laws will leave 1,069,000 acres available for entry. Registration for the land will commence August 1st and close August 12th. Registration may be made at Grand Junction, Colo., and Vernal, Price and Provo, Utah. Prospective settlers may register at any one of these places from 9:00 a. m., Tuesday, August 1st, until 6:00 p. m., Saturday, August 12th. To obtain registration, each applicant must appear at one of the registration places and show himself duly qualified to make homestead entry Care for Pauper Children. The plans of maintaining the children of the poor—or such as may be in the poor-houses or "unions"—in cottages and homes of that character, is finding a very general adoption in England, no less than 128 "unions" now maintaining the children away from the pauperizing effects of poorhouse association. The county of London pald out 72 cents a head of its population for the half-year on poor account. Chirography Was Puzzle. Harvey Walters, an expert on patent cases, had occasion to write Rufus Choate on some important question and when he received the reply was unable to read a word of it, so took the missive to Mr. Choate and asked him what he had written. Mr. Choate replied: "I never can read my writing after the ink is dry, but if you will tell me what it is about I will tell you what I have written." And he did. Regulated Price of Meat. In 1592, in England, butchers were compelled by law to sell their beef for a half penny a pound and mutton for three farthings. The butchers of London sold penny pieces of beef for the relief of the poor, every piece two pounds and a half, sometimes three pounds for a penny. Monks Made Champagne.

A WOMAN'S ORDEAL DREADS DOCTOR'S QUESTIONS Thousands Write to Mrs.Pinkham, Lynn, Mass., and Receive Valuable Advice Absolutely Confidential and Free There can be no more terrible ordeal to a delicate, sensitive, refined woman than to be obliged to answer certain questions in regard to her private ills, even when those questions are asked by her family physician, and many Mrs. T. C. Willadsen continue to suffer rather than submit to examinations which so many physicians propose in order to intelligently treat the disease; and this is the reason why so many physicians fail to cure female disease. This is also the reason why thousands upon thousands of women are corresponding with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. To her they can confide every detail of their illness, and from her great knowledge, obtained from years of experience in treating female ills, Mrs. Pinkham can advise women more wisely than the local physician. Read how Mrs. Pinkham helped Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning, Ia. She writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— "I can truly say that you have saved my life, and I cannot express my gratitude in words. Before I wrote to you telling you how I felt, I had doctored for over two years steady, and spent lots of money in medicines besides, but it all failed to do me any good. I had female trouble and would daily have fainting spells, backache, bearing-down pains, and my monthly periods were very irregular and finally ceased. I wrote to you for your advice and received a letter full of instructions just what to do, and also commenced to take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, and I have been restored to perfect health. Had it not been for you I would have been in my grave to-day." Mountains of proof establish the fact that no medicine in the world equals Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound for restoring women's health. They Are Coming. The Chills, and Fevers, too.

Nearly every farmer we visit has a windmill, but not one in twenty makes the most use of it. For instance, the windmill usually is located near the barn and the water tank is in some convenient place near the windmill. Hundreds of gallons of cool fresh water are pumped each day, but not a gallon of it goes through the milk trough when, as a matter of fact, it all could just as well flow through the milk trough as to go where it does. Most farmers have a well near the house and a hand pump in it, from which the water for house use is pumped by hand, and if they have a milk trough the good wife is required to fill it night and morning and the whole long, warm summer day the water in the trough is of the same temperature as the air outside. The result is that instead of having good, sweet cream and milk and good, solid butter, they have sour cream and milk and strong butter. If you want to have the full benefit of your windmill and with it good milk, cream and butter, build your milk house near the well at the house, make a wooden tank about six or eight feet long, twenty-six to thirty inches deep, and about eighteen to twenty inches wide. Set it inside of the milk house and move the windmill from the barn to the house. With the aid of iron pipes carry the water from the milk trough to the tank at the barn and you will have conferred a great favor not only upon your wife, but upon all concerned. The milk trough should be provided with an overflow pipe that will always keep it full, but never let it overflow. With this arrangement all the water that is pumped for stock passes through the milk trough and the milk and butter is always kept at the proper temperature. We used the Cooley milk cans and a swinging churn and made the windmill do the churning. For the money expended, there was nothing on the farm that yielded so great a return as the windmill and milk trough. The milk house should be made tight and a place fixed for a stove, so the milk can be kept there in both summer and winter. The farmer who will once try this method of keeping his milk and butter will wonder how he ever got along without it. A. M. Caldwell. Temperature and Dairying. A low temperature is necessary to obtain the best results in dairying. The cold is needed for the keeping of both butter and cream. In the far south conditions are not good for the keeping of butter and cream and for this reason dairying finds it difficult to get a foothold. Only by artificial refrigeration can the best results be obtained. Ice gives a temperature 32 degrees above zero, and this is not enough to keep butter for long periods of time. Because of the difficulty of getting temperatures far below the freezing point butter making on the farm is for a long time to come sure to depend on a market that will take the product about as fast as made. Fortunately it is not difficult to obtain such a market. Dangerous Garbage. Reports from various parts of the country have from time to time told of strange diseases appearing among the pigs. When such a report comes to hand we always feel that the chances are that the "disease" is some very simple trouble, the cause for which could be easily removed. In one town in the state of New York where such a "mysterious" disease appeared an investigation showed that the hogs had been receiving daily considerable quantities of washing powder, that had come in the garbage gathered from hotels.

'His business won't take more than a minute or two.' "So, in came a wild-eyed, long-haired man, twisting his soft hat nervously in both hands." "General,' he said, 'I have here—and he took out a small parcel—a bullet-proof coat. If the government would adopt this—' "Put it on. Put it on,' said General Miles, and he rang the bell. The servant appeared as the inventor was getting into the coat.

Sound as a Dollar. Monticello, Minn., Aug. 7th.—Mr. J. W. Moore of this place stands as a living proof of the fact that Bright's Disease, even in the last stages, may be perfectly and permanently cured by Dodd's Kidney Pills. Mr. Moore says: "In 1898 three reputable physicians after a careful examination told me that I would die with Bright's Disease inside of a year. My feet and ankles and legs were badly swollen; I could hardly stand on my feet and had given up all hopes of getting cured, when a traveling salesman told me that he himself had been cured of Bright's Disease two years before. "He said he had taken to his bed and expected to die with it, but that he had been cured by a remedy called Dodd's Kidney Pills. "I commenced taking them at once and I am thankful to say that they saved my life. After a short treatment I was completely restored to good health and I am now as sound as a dollar."

Pact ets treet ci peice wee | You are now called upon in view of the fact that Indian Ter- iritory must suon be added to the Union, either as a state to itself, jor with union with Oklahoma, to give expression of your views and determine whether or not, you will put yourselves on record jas factors in helping to shape the destiny of the basic and fund- | amental principles of this future commomwealth, | History records, that the American Negro, ever since the for- mation of the thirteen American Colonies, and their expansion linto forty-five of the greatest commonwealths throughout the globe, has played an important part in helping to bring about these magnificant achievements and beneficial results; but no- where is it recorded that the Negro has ever helped to dictate, or | sive his expression as to the constitutiouality in the formation of ‘astate or states, Asa part and parcel of this cosmoplitan citi- zenship, we of the states are here by, and at the request of our brothers in black—the Freedmen Citizens of The Five Civilized Tribes, who own in severalty, two fifths of the aggregated landed interests of this country. My fellow countrymen, the hand-writing is on the wall, and written in letters indelible, the white man of this ceuntry, with but few ex :eptions, is bending all of his energies to disrobe the Negroes of the country of every civil, vested, and political right, guaranteed unto them; and as a demonstration of this particular fact, we would call your attention to the maneuvers and, mani- pulation, of those delegated and clothed with the. power to call ‘the coventions to elect delegates to attend the conventions held at Oklahoma City, July 12th, 1905, and at Muskogee, August 21st, 1905, respectively. At the first of said conventions, not a Negro was permitted to sit in said convention, nor were any Negroes, save one from Okmulgee District, elected to attend and partici- pate in a convention, called to meet at Muskogee, August 21st, 1905, The time is now ripe, and we must strike for ourselves, There- ‘fore, in pursuance to the call issued by the Executive Committee lof The Suffrage League, of date August 8th, 1905, as hereinafter set forth, we make this appeal to your man-hood, your intelli- gence, patriotism and race pride, to turn out in full mass at your respective places designated in said call and elect full delegations, to attend a conventicn of colored citizens, to be held in the City of Muskoge_, August, 21st, 1905, Let your motto be, ‘‘Do or die’’, Yours for success, A, 8.

Men are not happy without plenty of work; and a man who has no outlet for his energy elsewhere bestows it on his household, with generally unfavorable results.—Lady St. Helier in Leisure Hour. To the housewife who has not yet become acquainted with the new things of everyday use in the market and who is reasonably satisfied with the old, we would suggest that a trial of Defiance Cold Water Starch be made at once. Not alone because it is guaranteed by the manufacturers to be superior to any other brand, but because each 10c package contains 16 ozs., while all the other kinds contain but 12 ozs. It is safe to say that the lady who once uses Defiance Starch will use no other. Quality and quantity must win. To Stop Crowing Portsmouth, England, has passed an ordinance for the suppression of cock crowing. The chicken fanciers say it cannot be suppressed, but the London News say that a partial remedy consists in placing the perch where the cock roosts so high that when it stands up to crow he knocks his head against the roof, and desists. A swinging board hung over his head answers the same purpose, it says. Soldiers as Beer Testers. The following order was issued to a company of garrison artillery at Allahabad, India: "The following N.C. O.'s and men will report themselves to the quartermaster-sergeant to-morrow, June 1, at 9 a. m., for the purpose of testing beer at the supply and transport go-down. These N.C. O.'s and men will be held strictly responsible and liable for the beer selected, and will have to pay for any beer that may have to be returned." Sorrows of a Mother. Until her daughters are married no mother is satisfied, says the Ladies' Journal; before they have departed for the honeymoon she thinks how much better they ought to have done, and the rest of her life she spends lamenting her loneliness without them The kiss that snaps like a dried sumach is the kind that's good, better, best. Compound Interest comes to life when the body feels the delicious glow of health,vigor and energy.

"The fad of tracing one's ancestors back as far as possible has a firmer hold in the east than in the west," said Mortimer E. Walker of Boston. "One winter I spent some time in a certain southern city which is noted for its blueblooded and exclusive inhabitants. There was much jealousy in the highest social circles, as there were two factions which desired the honor of being the original grandees. Finally the leader of one faction gathered together a few friends and started a society known as the Daughters of Ferdinand de Soto. "This was supposed to be the ultrafashionable society of the city, and one by one the aspiring matrons produced the indisputable proof that they were eligible for membership. "Finally one of the younger set had the temerity to try and force an entrance into the charmed circle. She was blackballed almost unanimously. "She determined to be revenged and to that end did a little real investigating which was more thorough than any ancestor hunt which was ever made in that city. The result of her investigations she made public and the result was the utter rout of the daughters. "For the young woman proved beyond the question of a doubt that Ferdinand de Soto had died a bachelor." —Milwaukee Sentinel. Signature Thieves. It is difficult to get access to the government's historical documents and papers in Washington, and they who do get access to them are always accompanied, as they make their consultations, by a guide. H. Clay Evans said recently that a big percentage of the government's documents have been robbed of their signatures. The signatures, if of value, have been cut out by thieves. Hence the precautions that are taken to-day. Autograph hunting is thought to be not very common, and yet so many hundreds of the signatures of Washington, Hamilton, Burr, Lincoln, Jefferson, etc., have been stolen from governmental documents that it appears as if every American citizen, on seeing a good autograph, feels that he has the moral right to lift it. For five years, though, thanks to the vigilance that is now maintained, no autographs have been lifted from the government's archives. Food That Produces Cancer. "I could see no reason for the prevalence of cancer among the backwoodsmen of North America," says an English writer. "The other day, however, I happened to read, in an account of the backwoods of Canada, that the lumbermen maintain their remarkable powers on buckwheat cakes served with molasses, potato pie, baken beans, white bread, pork, and bacon; so far so good, but that tea, black as ink, sweetened with molasses or sugarhouse sirup, is always near the fire by day and night, and is used in vast quantities. Here we have the rich nutriment and the great excess of stewed tea and the excess of sugar, corresponding to the excessive beer and excessive coffee of parts of Holland, Scandinavia, Switzerland, Baden and Bavaria, in all of which cancer is exceedingly prevalent." Life Is Good. FEAR FOR NIAGARA FEAR FOR NIAGARA IMMENSE VOLUME OF WATER DIVERTED FROM FALLS. Commercial Enterprises are Making Heavy Drains on This Famous Show Place—Its Tremendous Electrical Power the Inducement. Niagara Falls, August 7:The volume of water being diverted from the historic Niagara Falls is reaching such proportions that the people of the State are trying to pass laws which will prevent the possibility of a practical wiping out of this sublime natural spectacle. Water sufficient to develop nearly five hundred thousand horse-power continuously, twenty-four hours per day, for industrial purposes, is now being taken from the river above the Falls, and further developments requiring more water are contemplated. Probably the largest user of the electricity produced by the waters of the mighty river is the concern which by the five or six thousand degree heat of the electric furnace brings lime and coke into unwilling union, thereby producing what is known as Calcium Carbide. Dry calcium carbide is lifeless as so much broken rock, but in contact with water it springs into activity and begets abundantly the gas Acetylene. The light resulting from the ignition of acetylene is the nearest approach to sunlight known. These facts, though of comparatively recent discovery, were soon seized by men with an eye to the commercial possibilities and to-day calcium carbide is being shipped everywhere and used for dispelling darkness in buildings of all descriptions, from the ordinary barn of the farmer to the country villa of the wealthy, as well as for lighting the streets of a large number of towns. Acetylene can be easily and cheaply installed, and the manufacture and sale of acetylene generators has become a business of recognized standing, has assumed large proportions and is steadily growing. It is difficult to get access to the government's historical documents and papers in Washington, and they who do get access to them are always accompanied, as they make their consultations, by a guide. H. Clay Evans said recently that a big percentage of the government's documents have been robbed of their signatures. The signatures, if of value, have been cut out by thieves. Hence the precautions that are taken today.

"At four months old my baby's face and body were so covered with sores and large scales you could not tell what she looked like. No child ever had a worse case.

A piece of goods has shoddy in it when the material so used is scrap material from the best tailor shop, pulled to pieces, twisted anew into a new yarn, and woven into a new cloth. Also a piece of goods is shoddy when it is made from the poorest of old woolens plucked to fibers and made over into a cloth that will hardly hold together. Plantati To cure, or m The man who is always on time generally has to wait for the other fellow. Every housekeeper should know that if they will buy Defiance Cold Water Starch for laundry use they will save not only time, because it never sticks to the iron, but because each package contains 16 oz.—one full pound—while all other Cold Water Starches are put up in ¾-pound packages, and the price is the same, 10 cents. Then again because Defiance Starch is free from all injurious chemicals. If your grocer tries to sell you a 12-oz. package it is because he has a stock on hand which he wishes to dispose of before he puts in Defiance. He knows that Defiance Starch has printed on every package in large letters and figures "16 ozs." Demand Defiance and save much time and money and the annoyance of the iron sticking. Defiance never sticks. The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well; and doing well whatever you do without a thought of fame.—Longfellow. Might Have Been.
