Any one now living in Emporia who attended the Chicago Exposition in 1893 will remember the much advertised village of pygmies from Central Africa, one of the most sensational exhibits of the year. The village consisted of 12 Negro savages brought from the Victora Nyanza region by an enterprising showman. Eleven years later these same twelve pygmies were shown at another exposition in St. Louis, decked out in all the pomp of barbarian. Again they were the center of attention. After this exposition they were given $200 and offered transportation back to their native village by the showman. Most of them stayed here. Scattering over different parts of the country, these twelve pygmies from Central Africa blinked at twentieth century civilization until as the time went on, slowly one by one they succumbed to new and strange diseases. Of the twelve who left the village on the shorts of Victoria Nyanza in 1893 to come over the big waters to the white man's bazaar, there is only one left now. He is Charlie Oliver, and he is now working as a day laborer in the Emporia gas plant. Beveral-days ago he came to Dr. J. C. Brickell's office with a burn on his arm. Charlie, the savage from Central Africa, is a short, stocky, quiet Negro in blue overalls. He is the story he tells in answer to questions: "I think the people over here are all wild, all crazy for killing. Back in the village we were not like that. I will tell you why I think so. When I left the show in St. Louis, the man who had charge of us told me and my mate. Now you are in another man's country, and you must be good. You mustn't hurt any one. For twenty years my mate and I worked in the South. We were good, and didn't hurt any one, just as she show man told us. But we didn't hike the white men in the South. So a year age we moved to Tulsa. There my mate and I bought a house. She stayed in town to keep our little son in school, while I worked on a farm two miles from Tulsa. We heard talk of trouble between the Negroes and the white men for months, but we were not afraid. We believe in this country and the people. If we went about our work quietly, no one would hurt us. Then one day as I worked on the farm I heard shooting in town, and people coming back said there was a war on between the Negroes and the white men. But I was not afraid for my mate. I knew she would not go out of the house if there was shooting in the streets. That night the sky was red with fire and a big column of smoke rose from Tulsa. Then I began to be afraid for my mate. Next morning I hurried to town. I found my mate and son buried under the flaming ruins of our home. For two days I could not pull the charred boards from their cooked bodies. White men driving like mad devils thru the streets in autos would shoot at me as I worked. I don't understand it, but this I do know. My mate didn't hurt anyone. We always remembered that we were in another man's country. These people are mad for blood. White men here have been very good to us, and I bear no grudge against white men. Why should I? But I do know this: If ever I find the man who set fire to our house, I will crush his bones to toothpicks. I hear white men will rebuild the homes burned during the two days fight, but I do not care what they do with mine. I am never going back. Two months ago I came to Emporia to work in the gas plant. When I get enough money I am going back to Africa. My mate is gone, and my little son is dead, so what has this country done for me that I should stay? I want to go back to my people in the village by the lake to die. I don't know the name of it, but the man who brought us over is still in St. Louis. He will tell me how to get there. I hear the white men have put schools in the village. That is a good thing for my people. White men are sometimes very good to us, but they are mad, mad for blood.

More than twenty persons were wounded last Friday night when deputies guarding the Knox county jail fired on a crowd which sought Frank Martin, Colored held as a suspect in a criminal assault on a county school teacher. All of the wounded are white. Two are women. Deputy Sheriff Charles Lewis was wounded by a shot from the crowd. Although the machine gun company of the 117th infantry, Tennessee Nationa', guard, was on duty at the jail, the soldiers did not open fire. Following reports that the school teacher had identified Martin as her assistant crowds gathered in the vicinity of the fall. Two hundred men and boys approached the fall, while several hundred other persons, many of them women, in the courthouse yard, watched. As the crowd came within 100 feet sheriff Cave demanded that they disperse. He gave warning that an imaginary line should not be crossed. As a dozen men passed these poles, the sheriff fired a riot gun over the heads of the crowd. Two men in the courthouse yard and two or three in the street fired revolvers in reply The shooting then became general. Many of the loads of buckshot fired by the officers went among spectators in the courthouse yard. One or more of the officers at the jail opened fire with rifles and revolvers. The crowd in the street ran back. and the deputies charged, firing until the crowd dispersed and fled. The city has remained quiet during the week. Big Athletic Meet At "Y" On Labor Day.

Allen who said in part it is one of my fondest privileges to welcome you folks to this state, the state, who as your leaders have informed you got into trouble years ago through our hospitality and kindness to you people, but Ah! we have never been sorry in the least. I assure you and all it is the sincere wishes of the people that I make you welcome and wish for you, one of your grandest times. I said we got in trouble on your part years ago and are not out of it yet for just a few months ago a man by the name of Robert Hill came to our stats from Arkansas, from where he fled to our peaceful state and asked for protection and was protected. Why should I not protect him when he had done no wrong? Should I have given him up to Arkansas, to be legally lynched? No, I didn't and never will. Why did the present Governor of Arkansas refuse to let five colored prisoners go back to Phillips County. Arkansas to be tried, because they could not get a fair and impartial trial and that was why I never let Hill go back. Now, to succeed all you have to do is to become satisfied, fix your idea's and work to them. They say that labor has the bulk on capitol; if that be true you folks have the bulk on the world. Now, I bid you hail and a hearty welcome. 8. Welcome to the city by his Honor Mayor Corwine, one of the most eloquent speakers of the evening, who spoke in growing words: "The possibilities of the race." He also proved the same by a wonderful bear story, about an old colored friend of his father's, who was in his active days a great coon hunter, but had grown old and lame and who heard the youngsters going hunting one evening and begged to PRICE, FIVE CENTS building up this Fine Band and OUT THE SUPREME TOPEKA. be taken along, so the boys decided to take him wifh them and in the course of the hunt the dogs treed what was supposed to be a coon so old Uncle Moses had the boys to push him underneath the tree, where the coon would still when shook down someong of the boys went up to shake down the supposed coon after a few shakes down came the supposed coon beside Uncle Mose and the most faithful dogs, all the boys soon discovered it was a bear so did Uncle Mose and the faithful dog, so the boys scattered and ran for their lives leaving supposed. Y Uncle Mose behind; so as they passed Uncle Mose's house they found the door open, and they looked in and found old Mose at home and they asked when and how he got there, he said: he came home with the dogs; so if you have grown paralized and old, all you need is a bear thrown down at your feet and you can and will make it. Now, this key that I am about to present you may not be so large, but I think it will open most any door in the city if it doesn't see me. 9. Welcome on the behalf of the Grand Lodge by Atty J. H.
