Personal :- There's a widow on 18th street between Morgan and Lucas who is ready for husband No. 3 she is O. K. If you want fresh Drugs, call on Pickett, 2601 Lawton Ave. They can't be excelled. Miss Jennie Thurston of 4036 Evans Ave, is quite a business women. The personal referring to girls marrying is too explicit for publication. Below are the words of Col. John Crisp, the Democrat who gave Tandy letters of praise sometime during 1870. A few years ago he was opposed to the Jim Crow Car, now he comes forth and wants to chain the Negro in separate car. Is it possible that Col. Crisp is in his dotage? Yet in the face of a few misguided Negroes who call themselves Democrats, Col. John said: "If I were a Negro, I'd be a Republican; if I were an Irishman, I'd be a Democrat." Very good. Let the Negro Democrats of the Jefferson Club cut this out and keep it before them constantly, so that they may always remember what Col. SAYS SHE WAS KIDNAPED. Eva Wallace Makes a Serious Charge Against Police =] William T. Connell. $^{2}$ Eva Wallace, a mulattress, charges that Polieman William T. Connell kidnapped her Monday night of last week. The girl is comely, almost white, lives with her father John Wallace, 5425 Si. Louis Ave, and works at the residence of Andrew O'Conner 1472 Union Ave, returning home each night Her family is respectable. The girl says the officer met her on King's highway and asked her to go out with him. She refused. He called a cab and throwing his hand over her mouth put her inside. She says she was forced to drink some beer and soda the officer brought. Then she grew sleepy. She spent the night at a house where she was locked in a room for about two hours while the officer was gone, but a white women guarded her until he returned. Before daylight the next morning she taken to the O'Conner home. The fathe, of the girl reported to Police Captian Johnson. He took five officers to the house and the girl identified Connel. Captian Johnson said he will let Connell stay on the beat, but when the girl gets better will bring the two into the office and sweat them. The girls condition is serious. Monday it was feared she might die, and preparations were made to take her ante-mortem statement. But another incident preving in what light the majority of white men view a colored girl. Girls should profit by the experiences of other and maintain a dignified and very distant demeanor toward men in general. Let them know that Negro women are virtuous. $4 to $8 a day guaranteed to every person sending th. in name and address to Scott Remedy Co., P. O. Box 570, Louisville, Ky. Write at once The Jim Crow Bill. The Jim Crow Car Bill was passed to engrossment in Jefferson City last Tuesday. The arguments concerning the bill were rather heated. Mr. Williams, of Scott County, in referring to the difference between the races, said that God never intended to a Negro to be the equal of a white man. One of the gentlemen from St. Louis asked him how he knew what God intended. A most appropriate question, for it is to be doubted whether God ever heard of the gentleman. The speech made by Mr. Williams was so disconnected that no one could follow his argument. The only word he could say straight was "Niggers," in alluding to the Negro race. He even disgusted Col. Crisp, the originator of the bill. Col. Crisp, when speaking, deviated considerably from the question under consideration. In fact, the worry over the Jim Crow Bill seems to have scattered the brains of those most desirous of having it passed. The originator and associates have no logical reasons to explain their desire for its passage. Mr. Williams with his "Niggers, niggers," and Col. Crisp with his explanation "Negroes look better by themselves," constitute the chief causes, in their estimation, for the Jim Crow Car. Just when Col. Crisp developed an eye for beauty is a question for future consideration. Whoever told him that objects of the same color, when grouped together, produce harmony, must have been a new fanatic upon the subject. Almost every other person has been led to believe that the best picture is produced from an intermingling of light and shade. As for Mr. Williams, one can readily tell from his manner that he has doubtless been taught from earliest infancy that the term "Niggers" is the embodiment of all that is low and degraded. "Niggers" to him, as a child, must have been a sort of a bug-a-boo that would catch and eat him if he dared disobey his elders. There are many of his kind, whose intellects have been slumbering since birth. It is to hoped that the awakening in store for him may not shatter what few brains he has left.

W. Washington's letter to the Public in to-morrow's (Sunday Feb. 22) Post - Dispatch in which he preaches, white and colored a few wise hints. Mr. Washington is well known as an eminent poet and composer. STRANGE. INDEED Some time ago, we spoke our opinion concerning a few straggling Baptists, would be preachers, who are hungers-on to the White Baptists Ministers Alliance. Have they no eyes to enable them to see that they are not wanted? They are not permitted to act with them, so why hang on? Why dont these ministers admit that they where in the wrong? The Baptist Church will hear their plea for forgiveness. Follow the example of the Prodigial Son, and return home. The Church will meet them half - way and rejoice in their return. Caught Dead to Rights. On Feb. 18 - 03 when W. W. Howard should have been to work. he was in the Custom House from 9:15 A. M. until 11 o'clock in the office of the sub-treasury and assistant custodian. He then came back at 11 o'clock in the afternoon and remained around the building until 3 o'clock. Let the Building Commissioner take notice. We are on to him and the staff of the Palladium will run him down. NO USE TO HIM.

Mrs. Gozzer—Your husband is a great sportsman, isn't he? Mrs. Malapon—Yes, indeed, he THAT "JONAH" MAN. The Old Black Man is again emirching the character of our teachers and principals. In an article in the Eagle he says the persons who do not pay their subscriptions range from the "Big, stuck-up Negro, straight down to the little fellow," and that principias, lawyers and school teachers come under that category. While we admit there may he people who are neglectful in this respect, he need not include all, on account of some one-by-two principal of a two-by-four school. The Palladium has among its subscribers all the first-class principals and they pay their subscriptions. The old fellow invariably fails to call names, but places all under the same category. Sometime ago he made a slanderous report in his paper about school teachers. He lost out there and again makes an attempt. We told the public once that interference with our public school teachers meant a few months breaking rocks, but we suppose the "old man" did not profit by one warning. "He is a Jonah, he is a Jonah man." LINCOLN INSTITUTE. Notes. The Olive Branch, a society composed of young ladies of the Senior and Junior classes, holds its meetings weekly on Saturday evenings. The program is always instructive and well rendered. The essays prepared, the subjects discussed and the manner of conducting business, would do credit to adults. The debate at the last weekly meeting, "Which one has contributed the more to Civilization, Virchow, or Marconi," showed careful preparation, and that these young women are making effective use of the reading room. The Olive branch is distinctively a literary club and has membership in the "National Association of Colored Women. The Institute has recently been favored with visits from many of the noted men of the race in Missouri. Among these may be mentioned Regent Harriet Elder Scott and Dr. Unthank of Kansas City, Lawyer Farmer and CapCampbell of St. Louis, Dr. Perritt of Columbia, and others. The presence of these distinguished gentlemen on their early utterances have been inscription to the young people gathered here; and the gentlemen in one and all, have expressed themselves as highly gratified with the condition of things, as they, by careful inspection saw them. Visitors from the legislature come out almost daily and they also express great satisfaction with the institution, and their enthusiastic speeches give the young people much sound advice. Thus from both races, the colored student is receiving helpful recognition and there is every reason to believe that practical results will follow from seed thus sown. Lincoln Institute is always glad to welcome visitors and they will always be well received by President Allen and his faculty. Professor J. Siloue Yates of the Department of English, has been invited by the President Bumsted of Atlanta University to deliver an Address before the 'Eighth Annual Conference of Atlanta University to be held in Atlanta, May 26 Among other prominent speakers will be professor Kelly Miller of Howard. Dr. Washington Gladpew, and others The general subject for discussion will be "Negro Church", A. though each speaker will be assigned a special phase of subject The entire amount of the appropriation asked for by the President for the maintenance of Lincoln Institute for the ensuing two years has been favorably recommended by the committee on appropriation. THE MAN AT THE STAMP WINDOW. The man at the stamp window who has spent so many idle moments with "Barrel House Andy" should at least, out of respect for his position, seek better associates. Money paid into the coffers of Andy McGrew for the promotion of low and nefarious schemes (such as only Andy can promote) is contributed to a poor cause indeed. CHARITY BALL The annual Charity ball of the Provident Hospital and Training School will take place at True Reformer's hall, Monday, Feb. 23, 1903. The invitation list is now being prepared. Send in at once the names and addresses of all persons you desire to be invited. Address all communications to Dr. Edward J. Davis, Provident Hospital, M. B. Manager of The Palladium. Again We Give Our Readers a Look at Andy McGrew and W.W.Howard, the Two Schemers. Andy McGrew, who has a reputation for conspiring against reputable people, conceived the idea that if he could get P. M. Baumhoff removed or prevent his repointment, he could secure a good position in the postoffice. I know of my own knowledge he expected to be appointed easihier. Howard, who is a boon companion of McGrew, was brought into this matter because it was necessary to have some person sign the charges and take the initiative. McGrew first wanted Pat Clark to do so but Clark, while Pat was anxious and willing to help McGrew, feared to lend his name to the scheme publicly. Howard was then selected, and not only did he assist McGrew in fixing up the statements which it was desired the several witnesses should teetify to at his house, and at McGrew's house, and at the house of Pat Clark in the evening on numerous occasions, but I have positive proof that he and Joe Dryer spent much time during the hours that he should have been at work for the city, and have also proof that he called where Howard and McGrew would be occupied in close conversation from ten minutes to an hour. These calls were of almost daily occurrence and would, on numerous occasions, meet McGrew's sister-in-law, Annie Dryer, employed in the postoffice, whom McGrew would send a messenger for. Sometimes other girls would meet them there. During the visit of the Postoffice Inspectors, between November 6th and 21st,'02, Howard and McGrew would spend hours on this work, and Howard would pop in every few minutes to get instructions from McGrew or tell him of the progress made by the Postoffice Inspectors, between November 6th and 21st,'02, Howard and McGrew would spend hours on this work, and Howard would pop in every few minutes to get instructions from McGrew or tell him of the progress made by the Postoffice Inspectors were taking evidence at the Planters' House, and Howard acted as messenger escorting the witnesses to the Inspectors' rooms, and while they were engaged in their work at the Postoffice which issued from about November the 11th to the 20th,'02, Howard was almost constantly around the Government building and in the corridors. He often walked up and down Olive street, around 9th street, where he could get a good view of what was going on in the office. On or about November the 8th,'02, he went out to the northwestern part of the city in the afternoon to bring in a witness to the Planters' House. About January 25th,'03, Howard left for Washington where he went at McGrew's request, Pat Clark furnishing the money, for the purpose of calling on the President who he failed to make connection with. While there he telegraphed McGrew to see $2.00 Per Annum, Single Copy 5 cents. The Palladium. some money. Howard is now out-spoken against McGrew for, having got him mixed up in this matter and they are both planning to throw off suspicion of having had anything to do with it, because McGrew has had charges against him, and Howard says a dozen persons are after him. Mass meeting for the benefit of St. Louis Colored Orphans Home, on Sunday, February 22, 1903, at 3 p. m. at People's Fund and Welfare Hall, N. W. Cor. 11th and Locust streets.

Will the custodian clear the Janitor's Room of that loafing, uncouth set which lounges around the Custom House. BRADBURY L. H. Bradbury, a Kansas City refugee, has been making himself generally obnoxious since his arrival in St. Louis. Bradbury headed all his previous antics last week by carrying a crowd of Negroes into Collector Westhus's office for a jolification. Bradbury was ordered out and the west door was ordered locked by Mr. Westhus, a thing which has never before happened in the history of our Custom House. We do not blame Mr. Westhus, for such Negroes as Bradbury are cause of "Col. Crisp's separate coach bill." McGREW. If Andy McGrew is retained in the Sub-Treasury, Civil Service is a force for Andy has formed the acquaintance of every money-lender in St. Louis over the I. O. U. route. A great many bartenders have also met McGrew. In fact, there is only one feature required Entered at the postoffice at St. Louis Mo. as second-class matter. Published Weekly by J. W.

Many questions have been asked concerning our position in the postoffice fight, and we truly hope that the following explanation will make clear our stand in the matter: We have not seen or sought to see either Mr. Baumhoff, Andy McGrew or W. W. Howard, but have carried on a quiet investigation of our own accord. We assume the position that right is right and right must surely win. First of all, the Negro is not ungrateful. Mr. Baumhoff has been known to us only as a gentleman. He has proven his friendship to the race under severe tests. Second, Andy MsGrew and W. W. Howard belong to the low pot-house class of politicians who deal in scandal-mongering methods and common, ungrounded malicious attacks on any officeholder who may chance to excite their waath. We know these men and the politicians of St. Louis know them. Mr. Baumhoff needs no defense. Our only interest in the matter is to see right prevail over malice and falsehood. After this week we will drop from our roll a number of exchanges supposed to be weekly papers, but which are sent to our office semi-monthly, especially the Kansas City Rising Sun. From its contents last week's issue seems to have been the first since the delegates visited Jefferson City. We asked the manager whether his paper was still being published or not. We told him then we thought his paper a back number, but we know it now. We are informed that all the Democratic Representatives from St. Louis in the House of Representatives in Jefferson City are with Col. Crisp in farthering his separate coach bill. Let the members of the Negro Democratic Club in St. Louis put this in their pipes and smoke it. What do you fellows think of Williamf when he says, "Niggers, niggers." The "big fellow," who was formerly custodian of the Jefferson Club, has taken his departure from that club. We wonder if he took his political proclivities with him and returns to the Old Republican party? Col. John Crisp thanked the Negroes of the State for their forgiving spirit some years ago. What's come over the Colonel? ANDY McGREW We wish to keep the above names before the public. As the Republican party will need candidates two years hence and their names are seen among the list, which will you have? When W. W. Howard secured a five days' leave of absence to go to Washington, 991 miles from t. Louis, in order to oust the Postmaster, whose business was he meddling with? About six months ago when two clubs consolidated in the 14 h ward, W. W. Howard refused to attend because Negroes were members of the club. Now you see why the Palladium is on to him. If the arguments of Williams, of Scott County, are true examples of good white men, God pity the white race. "Niggers, niggers." When the 60,000 rebels were disfranchised in 1707, the Negroes of Missouri voted to restore them to citizenship. Now it is a case of asking for bread and receiving a stone. All men have some admirable qualities about them. We admire Col. Crisp for many things, but Williams—O, yes! he says "Niggers, niggers" so enthusiastical y. Andy McGrew is after General Farrar's job. He had better hold on to what he has lest, like the dog crossing the pond, in seeking the possessions of shadows, he loses all. Why is it that every question brought before the public by any one of the white race, advocating any measure for the benefit of the Negroes, is said to have some political motive as a basis? When President Roosevelt upheld Mrs. Cox, some wise ones declared he merely wiied to secure the entire Negro vote. Now that Senator Hanna introduces the Pension Bill, he is accused of desiring some political office. Are politics so interwoven with the thread of life that a separation is impossible? When Senator Smoot, of Salt Lake City, was asked his reason for inviting Negro guests to a banquet of his friends he replied that President Roosevelt did not consider himself too good to dine with Negroes, and he (Smoot) failed to see in what respect he was the President's suprior. Spoken like a man! Would there were more like him. FROM OUR EXCHANGES. We are pleased to read in the Colorado Statesman of the attitude maintained by Lawyer Jones of Washington, toward senior Morgan's views on Negro emigration. His ability to penetrate the veil-hiding Senator Morgan's real intention in advocating African emigration, speaks well for him. We only regret that the poor Negroes who are being enticed away by golden promises did not have the pleasure of hearing his address before their departure. We are confident that their eyes would have been opened. The picture, "Snap-Shot in Hades" in the Colored Citizen is rather hard on Booker Washington. We wouldn't care to see one of our leaders about to be precipitated into the depths of Hades. You've all heard of the "Man with the Hoe." He's a back number.

THROUGH LACE: OZONIZED OX MARROW CO., 76 Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. Those Postoffice Vipers Including Howard and Pat — will be out of a job this coming spring. Wonder what jobs they had their eye on in the post-office? When men of the stamp of those who formed the basis of charges against the Postmaster band themselves together to correct the morals of their superiors in the community, it suggests the question?— "How about their own morals, past life and present standing in the community?" "Does any one who knows Andy McGrew, mark him as a standard of morality?" Does any person who knows W. W. Howard, or who has ever had a five minutes' talk with him, rate that man as their standard of morality? Does any one who knows Jack Tatum desire to set him up on the pinnacle of—the standard—for a moral man? We think not. Not for public motives or any other reason. Does any person who knows Pat Clark as he is known, desire to point to him and say, "He is our standard of a moral man?" Would you like to say to your children, pattern after this man? Look at each of these men square in the eye, engage them in general conversation, "for they are an intellectual set in their own way," and if you never before realized the character of the men responsible for the false attack on the Postmaster, you will shudder when you think how it is possible for such hold methods to be concocted. They have by their action brought discredit and rebuke on themselves, and all honorable people will set the seal of disapproval on these methods. Such men are no great credit to any party, and we know of our own knowledge that not a man of them has the confidence of his neighbors sufficient to carry the ward or precinct in which he live on a fair election, and a man is always best known by his neighbors. None of these men individually ever exerted any influence in the Republican party. Not one of them could convince a stranger by his personal appearance or conversation that he was aught but what those who know them best—know of them. A tramp can wreck a train or destroy human life, but who can rebuild when once destroyed? An evil-minded person can tear down but they seldom rise to the position of building up; in fact, such persons remain what nature has made them—base, vile and ungrateful—such is the life of the evil-minded. JACK TATUM. Mr. Tatum, employed in the Railway Mail Service, as out in a statement last Sunday explaining that his connection in the attack against the Postmaster was out of public motives. We did not know that this man Tatum had been called upon to give out a public or private statement, but it's a safe proposition that we don't miss our guess very far if at some future time this—public motive—young man is not called upon to give out a statement, as is a statement. There are a few passages in this young man's life that will hardly justify the belief that he is the proper persos to assume the—public motive—act. We guess Jack Tatum won't be Superintendent of Mails yet awhile. We will consider—public motives—in our next. A man is known by the company he makes of Two Prolifics Daily Standard Theater are hardly the ones to pose as censors of the morals of decent men. When walking through the grass in summer time we look for snakes, but the snake that erawls on its belly always gives a hissing warning before making an attack; in that respect, the real snake is superior to the scandal-monering snake who always seeks to strike its victim in the dark. When associates of habitual criminals and frequenters of Two Frolics Daily assume to correct the morals of their superiors decent people begin to wonder what can be their motives. In the case Postmaster Baumhoff it was not—public motives—as one of the would-be immaleate fellows claim, but as every one who has followed the case knows, selfish motives. Try again—public motives—alias Raymond. Howard, on his recent to Washington, telegraphed a jolly to his boon boon companion, Andy: "Have seen—Main—Sure to win. See Clark and others and send me some money." And we still wonder if those who put up, including the man at stamp window, have realized on their investment? Public Motives Jack, alias John J. Raymond, should take a looking glass and see himself as others see him. How about that girl you used to write to under an assumed name? A certain ex-member of the City Council while on a European trip a few years ago, formed the acquaintance of a young girl in London; became so smitten with her that it was the talk of his associates, and it was not in the Poor House either. Andy McGrew and W. W. Howard have been associated together for many years in an endeavor to carry the ward in which they live at primarv conventions. They are, however, so well-known that no one has looked seriously on their notifying efforts to foist themselves on the party. Men of their calibre seldom rise above the slums in political methods. We are still wondering if the man at the stamp window has realized on his investment, of the loans made for a good cause? That such vile methods by such unprincipled persons could gain the promirence achieved as the gangs of character and scandal-mongers who have sprung up in this city against Federal officeholders in order to prevent reappointment is one of the wonders of the times. If the parties implicated in such work applied themselves to advance in a decent way, their own interests, they might have achieved fortunes. The Postmaster seems to have smoked a bunch of such fellows out of their holes. Those who were implicated in slanderous attacks against other decent applicants for Federal office in this city are known, and will receive due attention at the proper time. Meanwhile the rank and file of the Republican party in this city and decent people generally will ever remember those implicated in such nefarious work. $4 to $8 a day guaranteed to every person sending their name and address to Scott Remedy Co., P.

Electa Temple, No. 31, of the S. M. T. Meets the 4th Friday at 8:00 p. m. Mrs. Annie D. Hyatt, M. W. P. Luhn O. Dell, Scout BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics. OZONO. which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozone has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozone as the King of all Hair Tonics. Ozone will positively take the Kinks out of Knotty, Kinky, Harsh, Curly, Refractory, Troublesome Hair. It will make short, harsh hair long and straight. It will cure your head of all itching, worrying scalp diseases. Itch, Eczema, Dandruff, and Scurf can not live after Ozone has been applied. It will stop your hair from falling out. It will restore gray hair to its natural color, making the hair long and soft. Now, right here, let us make a statement. Many firms are advertising remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparation they tell you to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the life of the hair, and cause it to drop out. Ozone straightens without any outside assistance. Nothing but Ozone is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time. The good effects on the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application. The price of Ozone is 50c. a bottle—4 boxes do the work. We make this liberal offer, which is good at any time: Cut out this coupon and send to us, enclosing with it the sum of One Dollar, and we will forward to you four large boxes of Ozone and one large bottle of Electrical Skin Refiner, which makes black skin bright, rough skin soft and pliant, and cures all skin diseases. Also removes all facial imperfections, and actually removes small-pox pits. We will also include one fancy jar of our Electrical Skin Food—Nature's great beautifier—removes wrinkles, moth patches, freckles, and all facial blemishes; makes the old look young and the young look younger.
