THE NEGROES OF KANSAS, EVER LOYAL TO THE TENETS OF REPUBLICANISM, AGAIN PLEDGE FEALTY THRO THE TOPEKA . PLAINDEALER. VOLUME II. Kansas With He A BUSY And Its Doings. News of the We of Orient & Coming—Slow, but Sure. From The Mushroom Pioneer. It is estimated that there are about 18,268 Negros employed by Uncle Sam; 2,537 of them are in the District of Columbia, 7,500 in the States, 8,250 in the army, including 186 officers. A Daniel Come to Judgment. From The Cleveland Gazette While it may be difficult to believe yet nevertheless it is a fact, that a United States district judge of Kentucky has sentenced five white men to three years' imprisonment for tampering with the right of Afro-Americans to vote. The world "do move." Rev. C. M. Sheldon, author of "In His Steps," who successfully edited the Topeka, Kans., Capital for a week upon lines of strict Christianity and morality, purposes to devote his share of $65,000 net profit made to beautify a Negro settlement of Topeka which is surrounded by the aristocratic sections of that city. The Right Kind of Education, From The Languages Curry Herald. The Negro must educate along all lines. industrial, agricultural, mechanical, commercial and professional and on each and every line he must himself be a specialist. In other words what ever he has to market must be of the best—the very best. It is not enough however that he should fit himself as a body class or race along one line only but he must prepare along all lines and be as diversified ready and fit to offer the best in the market as the various walks of our civilization and country demand. If he in any measure falls short of any, every and all things our civilization is and is, striving to be, he that extent is unequal, inadequate and a failure. Negroes, educate every way. Praise From the Orient. From The Japan Advertiser. The appearance in our harbor of a U. S. Tranport, bearing a large contingent of troops for the reenforcement of the American army in the Philippines, is an event of more than ordinary interest. It is the fact of the special character and history of the men of the regiment on board, which renders this interest a peculiar one. The dark hued faces and soldierly bearing of the men who have appeared on our streets, suggest one of the most striking developments in modern history, namely that of the Negro into a soldier. Not the least of the extraordinary features of such development is to be found in the fact that it finds its chief illustrations in the United States, where until forty years ago all the conditions or Negro life were eminently calculated to deprive the colored race of every element of true manhood. In other words, that out of slavery and its demoralizing influences, a race of splendid soldiers should have arisen is one of the anomalles of history. The whole tendency of the institution under which they are reared was to render them spiritless and abject, and yet there was no more valiant fighters than the dark-hued heroes who flung themselves into the trenches at Fort Wagner and there nobly vindicated their race from all suspicion of cowardice. We vividly remember the departure of the first colored regiment from Boston lead by Col.Shaw, the son of one of the meat noted abolitionists of the day. It passed down the street where ten years before, amid a sea of faces white with wrath, a fugitive slave, guarded by Federal bayonets and artillery, was marched into bondage. The suggestiveness of their mission is evidenced in their set faces and martial tread. From that day to this, stimulated by the new condition of manhood which emancipation has gained for them, the colored population of the Union has been steadily gaining in all the qualities which go to the making of the soldier and the man. In A War For Hum FRIDAY MORNING. the recent Spanish war there were no braver troops, and since then a large contingent of them has been hastened to the Philippines where their valor and discipline have greatly told in the war now drawing to its close. There are none of the regiments whom the insurgents fear more than these, and their adaption to the conditions of a tropical climate render them an addition of the utmost value to the resources of the Republic. The price which the Republic paid for their emancipation was none too high. Ernest Hogan Winn a Law Suit. From an Honolulu Exchange. "All coons do not look alike today." There are twenty-nine negroes in Honolulu to whom life seems a perpetual luau. They are the members of the Hogan Miustrial Company. Last night a jury in Judge Davis' court rendered a verdict for $2,250 damages in favor of Ernest Hogan, the head of the company, against the Canadian-Australian Royal Mail Steamship Company. Hogan's case was a sample of twenty eight others which were brought some weeks ago against the steamship company for its refusal to transport the minstrels to Vancouver on the Miawera. The case is familiar to Honolulans. The minstrel went from Vancouver to Australia on a vessel of the Canadian-Australian line. On their way back to Vancouver they stopped off here, intending to resume their journey in a few weeks. Quarantine intervened, and when they finally applied for passage on the Miowera they were denied. The Minstrels, ny thier attorneys, Kinney, Ballou & McCanahan, at once instituted a suit. They alleged they had been discriminated against. They said that the Miowera's captian and purser, though refusing them, had taken eight white passengers on the trip. They asked for damages in the sum of $20,000 each, or an aggregate of $586,000. The hearing of the case was deferred until last Saturday, when the Miowera was again in port. Then the captain and the purser testified. The evidence seemed to show that the minstrels being Negroes had been the cause of their not being given accommodations. Arguments on both sides were lengthy and vigorous. Judge Davis was occupied all of yesterday in hearing the case. During the forenoon Hogan, Dante and others of the troupe were placed on the stand. The attorneys for the plaintiffs announced before noon that they were through with their side of the case. Mr. Robertson, one of the counsel for the defendent company, began his argument, continuing until about 2 o'clock, followed by Mr. McClanahan who finished his case for the Hoganites shortly after 3 o'clock. Judge then allowed a recess to be taken until 4:30 in order to give everybody an opportunity to see the Australia off. The Jurymen were carefully instructed as to the manner of spending their recess and were given explicit warnings not to converse with any one, or among themselves in regards to the case in question. A glad smile spread from face to face of the weary ones in the jury box and they were soon speeding for the Australia wharf. At the end of the time specified, the Court session was resumed, and Judge Davis read his charge to the jury, and also gave them the instructions requested of him by council for both sides. Judge Davis read the charge in a forcible manner, showing a desire to impress upon his hearers the importance of the matter which he consigned to their keeping. The charge was as follows: This is an action on the case brought by the plaintiff against the corporation as common carriers for (Continued on Page Two) TOPEKA, KANSAS, JUNE 8' 1900. Kinley and Endorse His Policy. The national convention of the Republican party convenes June 19 in the city of Philadelphia for the purpose of nominating a president, a vice-president and adopting a platform. No convention in the history of the Republican party since 1856 will be of more importance to the people of this nation than this one. It will be confronted by many entirely new issues, involving not only the prosperity of the citizens of America, but will be called upon to develop a suitable and practical colonial policy to deal with the rights, privileges and status of many millions of alien elements that have become a part of this great nation as the direct result of the late Spanish-American war. It will be called upon also to outline and define clearly and distinctly its attitude in relation to the controlling of the trusts and vast corporations that have grown up within the past few years. None of the many issues will be of greater importance to the citizens and laboring elements of this nation than is this question of trusts. If the Republican party follows the guidance of the rank and file of the party, its platform will speak out in no uncertain terms against the encroaching and pernicious influences of trusts. Four years of Republican rule have worked wonders in the nation. When the party representatives assembled in St. Louis, the hope of success was imperiled by the "walk out" of the Free Silver element of the party headed by Senator Teller of Colorado. This was not less brilliant and sensational than the cel- W. H. Kinneng ebrated split in the Democratic party at Charleston, S. C., in 1860, though its influence was more favorable to the Republican than to the Democratic party. In this convention the Republicans nominated Hon. William McKinley for president and Garret A. Hobart for vice-president, and adopted a sound money platform. The management of one of the most exciting campaigns in the history of the nation was intrusted to Senator Marc. Hanna of Ohio. The result was an overwhelming victory for the Republican party and sound money. During the past four years the renewed prosperity of all classes of our people, and the very remarkable development of the United States as a world power, has been due to the enforcement of the financial and business policy of the Republican party along with a humanitarian regard for the rights of the oppressed. The promises made the people by the Republican party have been carried out. We now enjoy remarkable and permanent prosperity as a result of sound money legislation. The developing colonial policy is satisfying the world that the men at the head of the Republican party are capable of dealing with this new issue. Kansas is, along with the nation, enjoying peace and prosperity. The wail of the calamity howler is no longer heard in the land. The debt-ridden serfs on Kansas farms have marshaled an army of one-hundred-and-fifty-thousand veteran laborers to harvest the one-hundred-million bushels of wheat planted on four-million, seven-hundred-thousand acres of this "waste howling wilderness" of sand burrs and sunflowers. In this great state Mary Ellen Lease, "Jim" Beck and the cohorts of reform have lost their occupation. We send to the national Republican convention this year an aggregation of Republicans whose fidelity to the principles of the party and whose knowledge of the developing issues will reflect credit upon Kansas. Kansas is a Republican state. Kansas believes in the administration of William McKinley and has instructed her delegation to vote.solidly for the favorite son of Ohio. Kansas Republicans believe in the man and the party who have redeemed the credit of the nation and made the United States the great factor in modern civilization.

's Grand Record. The Plaindealer. Published at Topeka, Kansas, Shawnee county, very frequently by the Phiindalerie Pub- sating company, 114 B. Serenith street. [In order to insure publication of matter in the current issue, correspondence must be in this office not later than Tuesday] OUR POLICY. Remember, THE PLAINDEALER is no six-months campaign sheet and we are not in the business to fleece candidates or the public. We have kept our promises to our subscribers, but some of them have broken theirs with us. This paper, in politics, is intensely Republican; we believe in Bill McKinley and Marc Hanna. As to races, we believe that all men should stand on an equal footing before the law, having free speech, a fair ballot and an honest count. We are not asking special privileges for anyone; we believe that the salvation of the Negro is like that of all races—in that he must hustle and rustle, to get there. We shall point out the way for him through the columns of this paper; we are not cranks on political jobs, but are very cranky on our people getting down to business, such as farming, the mercantile business, cattle and poultry raising; then they should have the nerve and backbone with which to push it along. Some Negroes imagine that the white man, as a rule, is against them; it is a mistake; they are against themselves. You should get money, deposit it in some bank; when you think you have a sufficient amount, invest in a farm, buy stock in some bank, railroad, or anything that will let people know you mean business. Demand a job from some of these concerns, on the ground that you are an investor, and not because you are colored. Money has no racial qualifications; it buys as much for a colored man as it does for a white man. Corn, wheat, oats, potatoes and barley grow as well for a colored man as they will for a white man, provided always that he plants and cultivates them. Cattle, hogs, sheep and poultry procreate as fast for a colored man as they will for a white man, provided he cares for them, so we have no kick coming in the Northern states. We acknowledge that the Negro is denied equal rights at law in the South, though he may toil. His rights are taken from him through what the white man of the South calls "legal rights," but which we of the North call robbery. The term as applied to the Negro at law in the South is "a Negro's word counts for nothing at law against a white man." We only contend for equal rights at law, and that is all the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments intended, and the better class of white people ought to set that this much is granted. If this is done you will see one of the biggest changes in the South ten years hence that you have had in the past one-hundred. Let the change come, and come quick! THE Negro in deserving of the best gifts that Republicanism has o bestow on her loyal sons. WHAT is the matter with having four years more of the Advance Agent of Prosperity? THE world powers should treat the Sick Woman of Asia just as they do the Sick Man of Europe. THE Democratic party has twice been tried and twice been found wanting by the present generation of voters of the country. It should hardly hope to be trusted again. THE Democratic party will not care if the Boers are forced to resort to guerilla tactics before the cessation of hostilities, as long as they can utilize it to party advantage for campaign purposes. It is understood that the first measure to be considered by the Senate of the United States when it meets for the short session in December next, will be the Frye ship subsidy bill. Its passage is assured. The Wichita Searchlight is the new name of The Pittsburg Plaindealer and the manager is our mutual friend, John E. Lewis. Wichita is a good town.and we believe Brother Lewis will give the people a good paper. THE opposition of the foreign shipping interest and their free trade allies to the American ship subsidy bill has had the effect of uniting all friends of American shipping, with the result that the passage of the bill is assured at the short session of the Fifty-sixth Congress. THE Chinese "Boxers" are giving the foreigner more or less trouble in China. Why not send a regiment of American "Boxers," headed by Gentleman Jim Corbett and Jeffries, over there? They would show the wily Celestials a few tricks about boxing that would put them out in one round. Democratic papers are making a great outcry about the Cuban postal frauds. But they forget to point out that the record of defalcations of Government funds shows stealings of $5.17 in every $1,000 under Democratic Administrations as compared with only 46 cent in every $1,000 under the Republican Administrations. THE scheme of organizing a so-called national Negro party, which had its inception in the brain of some Philadelphia curbstone politician, is too palpably ludicrous to merit serious consideration. Some would-be's whose pork chops have not been coming regular during the last four years just want to make a touch. The War Department has again revised the schedules of the Cuban tariff, to go into effect June 15th. It is expected that this will increase the imports from the United States, as we now have less than half the trade of the island. A previous reduction of the duty on foodstuffs and live stock has not lessened the cost of food to the consumer. THE Boer incident was diplomatically and courteously terminated by President McKinley, and the envoys have been socially entertained by the Secretary of State. Politically the matter is ended just as completely as the Macrum affair. Secretary Hay soon showed the envoys that the United States government had not only done in the interests of peace, but is the only nation that has shown an interest in stopping the war. The Commercial club has extended an invitation to the colored people of this city to take part in the dedication ceremonies of the auditorium in September. A meeting has been held and we understand that a committee of colored men has the matter in charge. We sincerely hope that these gentlemen will select an entertainment equal to "The Elijah." Let this opportunity be selected to bring out our best musical talent. During the past few months much has been said and written about the need and importance of a federation of the various women's clubs of Kansas. The Afro-American clubs of Kansas are very seriously considering the proposition. And to fully and freely canvass the sentiment of our ladies a meeting of clubs and club women has been called for June 20 and 21 to meet in Topeka. The call for this meeting has been issued by the various art needlework clubs, headed by the Oak Leaf club, the oldest club of its kind in the state. We are not prepared to say, just now, upon what lines our ladies will federate, but we are constrained to believe that the state organization if consummated will be sufficiently liberal to allow clubs of all kinds to become members. To our mind, this is the correct idea. All kinds of clubs should be brought into this federation and their work divided, classified and intelligently guided. It is to be hoped that there will be an absence of jealousy and bickerings that have characterized the attempts of our men to organize along any line in this state. Let all our ladies come together and discuss questions relative to domestic economy, self-culture, music and literature best calculated to advance the interest of our people. (Continued from Page One.) sermon. Collection taken up, $1.05. Adjourned. Benediction by Rev. Watson. The union reassembled at 2:45 p.m. After devotionals the morning journal was read and approved. The topic, "How to Better Interest our Young People in Church Work," was opened by Rev. Watson in a few chosen remarks. The order of the day having arrived, the topic was passed without any definite conclusion. The question box by Sister H. Harper was very interesting and beneficial to all present. Sister Etta Schrader made an address on "Women's Work." She spoke about the great work the women were doing, and appealed to them to do more for missions, and asked the men to help them. The hour for preaching arrived. Revs. R. Cox and H. Frazier took the stand. Rev. Cox was introduced by the president, and took for a text Rom. 9:35. Several came forward and congratulated him on the sermon he preached. A collection of $1.16 was taken up. A committee of four was appointed on condolence in respect to the late Rev. E. K. Love, of Savannah, Ga., viz.; Revs. M. L. Copeland, J. H. Vanlue, H. F. Frazier and R. P. Banks. Adjourned to meet at 8 p.m. to hear another sermon from Rev. R. P. Banks. Benediction by Rev. R. Cox. EVENING SESSION. Union reassembled at 8:37 p. m. Devotional exercises conducted by Rev. B. Morris. The Baptist choir furnished excellent music. The president presented Rev. Banks, who took for a text, John 14: 8, "Lord, show us the Father," from which he preached an able sermon. A collection of $4.31 was taken up. Rev. Cox turned over to the union 57 cents, received from the Clay Center church. A postal from Rev. W. L.

Morris conducted devotional services, after which the journal of Friday afternoon and evening was read and approved. Sister Mary Hody paid ten cents. The committee on business made its report, which will be read at the next sitting of the union if required. The committee on program for next meeting made its report, which was adopted. The hour for preaching arrived. Rev. R. Cox took the stand, with Rev. Copeland as assistant, and took for a text, Luke 10:20, and preached a sermon, short and enjoyed by all. The finance committee reported $15.06 received from all sources; all bills paid, and $1.50 donated to the Second Baptist church, $1.00 to THE PLANDEALER and $5.35 to the state missionary. The committee on condolence made the following report: WHEREAS, We learn with sorrow the sad intelligence of the death of our dear, distinguished brother, Rev. E K. Love, D. D., pastor of the First Baptist church, Savannah, Ga., whose place among the brethren will be difficult to fill. As a friend, he was true; as an orator, superb. Among leaders he was a leader numbered among the men of mark. The church of which he was pastor has lost a guide; the denomination a strong defender; the country a true American citizen. He filled the chair as president of the Foreign Mission convention with credit to himself and the convention alike. But our loss is his eternal gain; he is now with the just made perfect by the Lord in the land of greatness. Resolved, That we tender our condolences to his bereft ones, and bow with humble submission to the will of Him who doeth all things well. M. L. COPELAND, J. H. VANLUE, H. G. FRAZIER, R. P. BANKS. A resolution of thanks was offered by Rev. Vanlue to the pastor, members and friends for entertaining the union so nicely. The resolution was adopted. We hope to meet with Rev. Copeland's people again. Adjourned to meet at Fort Scott, Kas. Aug. 2, 1900. Benediction by Rev. R. Cox "God be with you till we meet again." Rev. G. W. WATSON, President.

Topeka, Kas. an alleged wrongful refusal of the defendant to accept and carry the plaintiff as a passenger for hire on the steamship Miowera from Honolulu to Victoria,British Columbia, and other ports. The plaintiff has established that the defendant corporation was, on the 12th day of May, 1900, engaged in the business of transporting passengers and freight for hire upon steamship operated by said corporation. The defendants are therefore common carriers, and I so instruct you. If you come to the conclusion from the evidence that on the 12th day of April, 1900, plaintiff offered himself in a fit and proper state to be carried on board the steamship Miwowa, one of the steamers of defendant corporation, from Honolulu to Victoria, British Columbia and other ports, and plaintiff was ready and willing to pay the proper and reasonable fare therefor, it became and was the bounden duty of the defendant corporation to receive him on board the said steamship Miwowa and carry him as a passenger from Honolulu to Victoria and other ports, provided there was accommodation and convenience for him on board the said vessel. The refusal of the defendant corporation under such circumstances, to so receive and carry him as a passenger would be a wrongful act, for which the defendant corporation, is liable in damages. The burden of proof is on the plaintiff to establish by a preponderance of the evidence that there was accommodation and convenience for him on the said steamship Mlowera on the 12th day of April, 1900, when he applied for passage, and that he was prepared to pay his fare or the price of his ticket, and that he presented himself in a fit and proper state to be received on board and carried as a passenger. By a "preponderance of the evidence", is meant such evidence as reasonably satisfy you of the truth of the allegations in the complaint and the compliance with the condition set forth in this instruction. I charge and instruct you that you are the exclusive judges of the facts in this case; the character, quality, strength, weakness and credibility of the evidence are matters exclusively for you. The character, attitude, motive and reliability of the witnesses who have given testimony in this case are matters for your consideration and exclusively for you to determine, and are made so legislative enactment. The fact that defendant is a corporation should not influence you in arriving at a conclusion in this case favorable to the plaintiff. That is to say, a corporation has the same rights and is subject to the same liabilities as an individual, and should be so treated by you in the consideration and determination of this case. The burden of proof is on the plaintiff to sustain the allegation set out in the complaint, and he must sustain his whole case and prove all that he is bound to prove by such preponderance of the evidence as will reasonably satisfy you of the truth of the allegations in the complaint and material to the issue which you are to determine by your verdict. If you come to the conclusion that the plaintiff is entitled to recover in this case you will then have to consider the question of damages. The damages recoverable in this action are the expenses actually incurred by the delay caused by the wrongful act of the defendant corporation, such as lodging and convenience, but not particular consequential loss which may have been occasioned by plaintiff not reaching the place whither he was bound at the time contemplated such as loss of business by not keeping appointments. If nine of you agree you may return a verdict under the statute laws now in force in these Islands. I charge and instruct you that the defendant corporation as common carriers, had no right to refuse to accept and receive an intended passenger on board their steamship on account of race or co'or, plaintiff was entitled to the same consideration by the defendant corporation as any white man who might apply for a passage on the steamer, and if you should reach conclusion that plaintiff complied with all reasonable regulations and did what he was bound to do, and that defendant corporation had the convenience and accommodation for him, and that the true reason for the refusal of the defendant to accept plaintiff as a passenger was on account of his race or color, such refusal is not justified by law. If the defendant complied with the regulations of the Board of Health at this port the fact that the steamship would be quarantined at Victoria or Vancouver, B., C., would not relieve the defendant as common carriers to accept and recieve the plaintiff as a passenger, if they had accommodation and the plaintiff presented himself in a fit and proper state to be recieved and was willing to pay his passage money. At nine o'clock exactly the jury was announced ready to render its verdict. The jurors were brought in by the balliff and arranged themselves in a row before Judge Davis in the Supreme Court room. L. C. Ables foreman, handed the Judge the written verdict, which was as follows: "We, the jury in the above entitled cause Hogan vs. Canadian-Australian Company)find for plaintiff in the sum of $2,250. Three dissenting. L. C. Ables, Foreman." It was explained that the jury was unanimous in rendering a verdict in favor of Ernest Hogan, but were at variance in rendering their verdict upon the sum to be allowed him.

HUNTER. Some Of Our Faults. We shall not attempt to enumerate all the faults which are our common heritage, but only those monumental imperfections that so largely detract from our racial usefulness and unity. One of them is, when a man is found philanthropic and patriotic enough to launch into a legitimate business enterprise, giving employment to our promising boys and girls, we let him go to the wall by lack of appreciation and want of substantial suppr. rt. The enterprise of such men as start a grocery store, cigar store, undertaking establishment, tailoring establishment or job printing office, giving employment to our sons and daughters, should not remain unheralded and unsung. It is one of the vagaries of Buddhism that its prayers of the faithful may be infinitely and acceptably repeated by mechanical helps; as for instance, revolving wheels or the vibrations of clanging bells. I would to heaven that a great bell tower might be erected, its spires piercing highest heaven, so that whenever a Negro is found, broad and great enough, a lover of his race enough, to launch the earnings of a life time into business enterprise, the lips of this mighty and eloquent bell might be moved by fitting tongue until it breathes forth in deep, sweet, prolonged and wonderful vibratory voice, a deed so noble, so worthy of emulation. * _ * Trusts and Kansas Blinding Twine. The attempt of the binding twine trust to the disparage quality of the Kansas product is but another phase of the fable of the fox and the grapes. The motive underlying the charge that the twine manufactured at the penitentiary was of an inferior quality, is too patent to receive the serious consideration of any sound minded person. In the first place, the charge, by imputation, assails the fair fame of the state of Kansas, of which every true Kansan is deservedly jealous. That the great state Kansas could be a party to an organized scheme to defraud the farmers of the state by putting on the market a spurious article, is a falsity only paralleled by its audacity. Then again, if the trust succeeds in poisoning the minds of the farmers against the Kansas product, it will throw down the barriers that have hitherto curtailed its sphere of activity, and make possible its commercial conquest of the entire state. Every thinking man knows with what shrewdness the trusts enter upon the accomplishment of desired ends; bringing to bear all the concentrated energies of arrogance and power in the fulfillment of a desired object. The great state of Kansas could not afford to do what the charges infer; and any farmer who entertains such a thought is a fit subject for the lunatic asylum. The Plaindealer will wager $100.00 that the twine made at the penitentiary is as good as any other binding twine manufactured in the world, the trust to the contrary notwithstanding. Among Our Clubwomen. The Oak Leaf club meeting, held in conjunction with the Dumas, Ne Plus Ultra, Rose Bud and Golden Rod clubs, in the parlors of the Chiles' Hotel, Monday evening last, transacted considerable business of interest to clubdom locally. These clubs, having as their objects, aesthetic and artistic culture, are highly commendable organizations. They evolve from the ordinary housewife a being who translates the ideal imagery of Hawthorn into reality, and gives us a woman who weaves herself into silent recesses of our natures and by her gentleness and refinement keeps afame the fires of chivalry, and aglow the spark of inate gentleness which is too often considered inane in this prosaic, work-a-day world of today. But while music, and painting and all the finer accomplishments should be encouraged, they should be made of secondary importance to the practical needs of our every day life. If conditions are here, as they are in the majority of places we have sojourned, these excellent ladies could exert a wider and more beneficent influence along the lines of practical home making, with all that that term implies; the encouragement and lifting up of their less fortunate sisters; training in those nameless arts and graces which make womankind most womanly; the touch to the furniture here, the home-made throw or tidy there; the dinner to tempt an epicure—these are the lessons needed by the vast majority of our women. Teach the girls to cook; they can appeal to a man more forcibly thro' the medium of the stomach than any other way; teach them to sew, to be house-wives. The diadem of usefulness will shine with greater lustre than all the crowns society can place upon the most brilliant of our women. A talented woman may sing with the witching tenderness of the "Lorely";paint till nature seems a counterfeit of art· wake from the silent ivories melodies that fill the heart with voiceless emotions; but all her singing, all her art, all her drumming on the piano, cannot atone for scorched buscuits and burnt potatoes. The sequel is self-evident and we offer these suggestions for their par value. C. S. H.

If you get in the habit of loan- ing a man small pieces of money, you have made a serious mistake. Better to loan a small piece and never try to collect it. He won't bother you for any more and you will hold his friendship. But if you stop a habit of loaning, your friend-debtor will become one of your bitter enemies. First, you will see it in his countenance; nest, you will hearof his tongue. Soit is on other lines you too frequently befriend. Unless you Sve equal reciprocation, stop at once, else you will drive a friend into anenemy when you do stop. This rule has but very little ex- ception. Such is Atchison.

Patter- son was called into the house by the flames of a gasoline stove which had leaked for some time into a skillet beneath. The skil- let was blazing furiously and in a little while would have set the house on fire. She endeavored to carry it outside, and in doing so came in contact with Mr. Nel- son's little girl, setting them both on fire, Mrs. L. Johnson assist- ed in putting the little girl and Mrs. Patterson out; but they were badly burned. Mrs. Patterson’s face and arms were marked by the flames very badly; yet allare glad to know that she is improving. Lucy NELson, Lucy Nelson never recovered from the flames which ravished her form, and she now sleeps in death. She was a pretty little gitl about two years old, with black eyes and black curly hair, which hung in jewels about her round face. She was active and her face was always lit with 2 beam of joy. She was worship- ed by her parents and admired by all who beheld her. Her sudder and tragic death was a terror tc the town as well as to the family. The funeral services were helc ‘Sunday afternoon at the home at 2 o'clock. Rev. Skinner and Rev. A. H. Attaway officiated. Everything was carried out splen- didly. There was a large crowd who felt a personal loss in this little girl. And as the bouquets and wreathes and crosses of white flowers were borne by friends of the family, a many heart whis- pered to itself : Innocent child and snow-white flow- ers, Well are ye paired in your opening hours; ‘Then can the pure and lovely meet, Stainless with stainless and sweet with sweet. Go to Ober's for firstclass gents’ furnishing goods . at the lowest prices. Last Saturday a select party of Lawrence's society and fashion- able people met at the residence ‘of J. B. Moore for dinner and re- paired to the home of Mrs. Stu- arts, two miles North, in honor of the visiting guest, Mrs. Mamie Bradley, formerly of this city. Everyone enjoyed himself. There were games, music and various modern amusements indulged in. After which an elegant supper was served and all joined in pro- nouncing Mrs. Stuart one of the most hospitable and entertaining ladies of this community, and re- turned joyously to town. Sadie Stone and Miss Johnson, of Atchison, are in the city. Miss Stone is regarded as one of the most scholarly young ladies of Lawrence and her many friends Ss glad to greet her on her re- turn for the summer. Mr. Penn is feeling alternately better and worse. DECORATION DAY. Decoration Day was celebrat- ed, as usual, in Lawrence with the exception that no invitation was cxtended to the colored sol- diers of the civil and Spanish- American wars. This is a burn- ing shame. The colored soldier was good enough to face the shot and shell of battle in the Civil War and the world knows of his matchless heroism at El Caney and San Juan. And as he gave his life for his country, and fought side by side for his coun- try's cause, he should now be given an opportunity to show his patriotism to his country as often as the people and soldiers meet to pay another tribute of respect to the departed dead. To fail to invite him is no reflection upon the valor of the colored soldier; it reflects, if on anybody, upon those who had the arrangements in charge. Let us hope the old soldiers will put the affairs of this day under better management in the future. INEZ SHOTEAU. Thursday of last week was the beginning of the commencement of the High school. Miss Inez Shoteau was on the program; her subject was ‘*The Progress of the Negro.’? All agree who heard it that she delivered one of the ‘best if not the best oration of the evening. Miss Shoteau deserves ‘congratulations upon such an lable production so effectively de- livered. But her courage in de- fending the cause of her race in this age when everyone is saying “I can't bear anything on the Negro,”’ is simply heroic. Her friends wish her to continue her upward journey to power and nsefulness. Go to Ober's for the latest styles. .
