ALBERT JACKSON GEORGIA'S COTTON KING DEAD. Mr. Albert Jackson, Sr., of Savannah, Georgia, died at his home last week after a short illness. Mr. Jackson was one of Savannah's successful Negro business men, and for twenty-five years has been a cotton merchant in that city, and had been very successful. As a citizen he was highly respected by all his fellow townsmen both white and black. He was a devout christian and held a high office in St. Stephens Episcopal church for years. During his life-time he accumulated considerable property. His son Mr. Albert Jackson, Jr. a graduate of Hampton Institute, Va. and an under graduate of Howard medical college, and his brother Sidney will succeed in their father's business. Sidney, although not quite past his majority is a shrewd business manager, the combination will be a force hard to beat on Bay street. We tender our regrets to the bereaved family. MEXICO NOTES. Rev.

Western Theological Seminary Allegheny, Pa., April 21, 1901. Dear Sir—W. H. Thomas was a student in this seminary between the year 1865 and 1868, and in latter year was dismissed because of criminal intercourse with the woman he subsequently married. He first denied the charges, but later confessed their truth and was sent out. I have just written out a transcript from the faculty minutes for a lawyer in New Bedford, Mass. and mailed them to him. Youry sincerely. T. H. ROBINSON. President of Faculty. Columbia, S. C., March 1, 1901. Dear sir—Referring to your letter of the 21st ult. in regard to Mr. W. H. Thomas, I hand you enclosed a letter from Mr. E. W. Screven, who, at my request has looked up Mr. Thomas' record. Hoping that the enclosed letter will furnish you the desired information, I am Very truly yours. Signed E. A. WEBSTER. P. S. You are at liberty to make any use of this letter you think proper. Note—Webster is collector of port at Columbia, S. C. Columbia, S. C., March 1, 1901. Dear sir—With reference to the career of Mr. W. H. Thomas in South Carolina in the period of 1876, I would say that he was elected a member of the legislature in the fall of 1876, and took his seat in that body when it convened at the capitol on November 29th, of that year. Owing to political complications at that time there were two rival organizations claiming to be the legal House of Representatives and Mr. Thomas gave allegiance to the Mackey house which was shortly after its organization adjudged not to be the legal body by the Supreme Court of the state, and after sitting just twenty-thee days (adjourned) sin die. It never re-assembled. I find by the report of the proceedings of this body that Mr. William H. Thomas was chairman of the committee on privileges and elections and that during the twenty-three days, three reports were made by this committee. I find also that Mr. Thomas made one report to the House on behalf of the judicary committee and upon inquiry I learn that he was chairman of that committee. All of this information I got from the files of the News and Courier whose reporter was present daily and gave very full accounts of these proceedings. I can find no journal of the House in the state library giving any account of the proceedings of the Mackey house, and it is reasonable to assume that the legality of that body never having been recognized no record of its proceedings will be preserved by the state. While in Newberry County a few days ago at the county seat I took occasion to make enquiry as to the record of Mr. Thomas while a citizen of Newberry, and I find that he was a trial justice in 1876. I also find that Mr. William H. Thomas was indicted on May 9, 1877. for "corruptly and fraudenily" seizing and selling property. Mr. Thomas was bound over to appear at the general session court and bonded in the sum of $500, his bondsmen being Elijah Phillips, Burrell M. Raines, Henry Kennedy' and William H. Snead. When the court convened Mr. Thomas failed to appear and these bondsmen cited by order of the court on the 17th June 1878, to make payment of the bond which they did. A sealed sentence is now on file. Roll 1306, in the clerks office at Newbrry against Mr. William H. Thomas in this case. The case against Thomas was brought by a colored man, J. H. Blease, who in the examination swears that a bale of cotton valued at $42 was taken from him and that he has never been seen the cotton from that day to this. I saw Elijah Phillips an honest and respected colored blacksmith doing business in the town of Newberry and he assures me that he and his associates on the bond of Thomas paid the bond, and that they have never been able to get any payment or reimbursement of any kiud from Thomas. No more need be said concerning "thomas;" his unenviable record speaks for itself, and if there is anything in it of which he is particularly proud he's well come to it all. These disclosure will explain more fully than any words of ours who this man is who has presumed to set himself up as a critic and censor of the morals of the Negro race. Discriminating people of whatever race will be slow to attach much, if any, importance to the learned deliverances of this "second Daniel come to judgment" to be found in the autobiography of w. hannibal thomas. His extreme modesty possibly prevented him from giving his book its correct title. JOHN EDWARD BRUCE, 97 Orange St., Albany, N. Y.

STICK TO BUSINESS The approach of spring and the warm weather are already being figured on by the "race leaders," worthless agitators and professional wind-jammers. The organs of these drones are already beginning to hint about great (?) race meetings to be held at this or that big city, where not an infernal thing will be done to help the race, or any one else except the cheap boarding house keepers and the railroads. The gullible Negro, it is hoped, has seen enough of these noisy, unprofitable "grand meetings," and it is further hoped that he will start off this year with a new determination to go to work and save his earnings. Race meetings and conferences and councils cannot accomplish for the Negro what he now needs. The world demands of him some individuality. It demands of the Negro to learn to keep his word, to pay his honest debts, to tell the truth, to keep his tongue in his teeth, to attend to his own business and to make a better and more trustworthy employee. It demands these common things of the individual Negro, and he must pay the debt. We repeat, the "race meeting" cannot and does not help him to pay this debt, hence he should stay away from it and stick to his job. One-half of the wild-eyed, flannel-mouthed, broad-breasted harranguers, who get up and run these meetings are deficient in all of the things which go to make up a worthy man, and hence their jabber does no real, lasting good, The secret of the white man's success is in this, that he works, and the Negro might profit by his example.—Dallas Express.

Last Saturday the Republican County Central committee met at the old court house and after a very lively session, decided to hold the primary on Saturday, June 1st, for the purpose of nominating various county officers. The inauguration of this campaign before the question of "Whose mayor?," is definitely settled, will not cause much trouble or annoyance to the average Kansas politician, who lives, moves and has his being in a seating political cauldron. This announcement of the primary early in June, has served to aevive the activity of the candidates for various places. We do not anticipate that the question of selecting good men for all positions will trouble the voters for the men, so far mentioned, are all good, honorable, citizens, whose long residence among the people of this county, renders it unnecessary that any extended notices of their qualifications be published. We desire to call the attention of our readers this week to the announcements appearing in the Plaindealer: FOR SIIERIFF. The announcement of Bert Lucas for the position of sheriff on the Republican ticket brings out one of Shawnee county's most popular young men. Having lived in Topeka for over twenty years, he enjoys the acquaintance of most people. A hard working and an uncompromising Republican, is the way he is spoken of among members of the party who know him best. For the past two years she has been one of the most popular commercial travelers out of Topeka. His selection for this position will please a large class of young men with whom he is immensely popular. w. Hal William's announcement for sheriff appears elsewhere in this paper, is perhaps, one of our best known officers at this time. For the past three years he has served this county as under-Sheriff to Sheriff Cook, and if selected for Sheriff, will bring to that office an intimate knowledge of present conditions. Mr. Williams has made a careful and a painstaking officer. Previous to his appointment as Sheriff he was one of the best city officials. Mr. Williams has made many friends in both parties by his fairness and honesty in discharging all duties incumbent upon him. His nomination by the Republicans in June will be very acceptable to a large class of voters. FOR COUNTY TREASURER. For the past three years, no man has more acceptably discharged his duties than Captain William S. Eberle, deputy County Treasurer. His announcement, at this time for head of this very important office, will be received with much gratification among the large circle of friends who have grown up with him during the years he has lived in Topeka. Mr. Eberle is aifiable, genial, and capable, and his nomination for Treasurer is confidently predicted by his host of friends. The office of COUNTY CLERK has been filled for the past four years by Mr. John M. Wright, and his very excellent service has forever silenced the assertion that the Negro is not competent. Mr. Wright has made a splendid officer in every respect. The announcement of Frederic L. Jeltz, editor of the Kansas State Ledger, therefore, need cause no feeling of uneasiness on the part of the PUBLIC in case the party should confer this position on Mr. Jeltz. His candidacy for the position of County Clerk has long been before the people. He is a hustler from way back. To his energy alone is due the remarkable circulation and influence of his paper. Mr. Jeltz is one of the plain, common people. Coming to Topeka twelve years ago, from Mississippi, he began laboring with his hands at any thing he could find to do. He has taught school along with the various occupations he has followed. His strongest claim for the suffrage of the people, is the splendid manner in which he has cared for and raised his family. In his office he has employed his little girls when not in school, and they are rapidly developing into competent typos. He has always been a strong party man. His selection by the party will please a large mass of the colored people of this conuty, who feel that they should have a representative on the county ticket. Another candidate for the position of County Clerk is Oscar Swazey, for the past three years Deputy County Clerk under Mr. Wright. "Old Hoss" Swazey, as he is familiar known, is an excellent accountant, and is especially qualified by his years of training to fill this position. He has made a good officer, and is a courageous outspoken Republican. Among the colored people he is liked for his generosity. He is regarded as being up among the sure winners by his friends. Mr. W. F. Webber, one of the oldest citizens of this county, announces his candidacy for County Treasurer. Mr. Webber has been a prominent merchant in this city for over twenty years, and is thoroughly interested in the business development of the city and county. He has served as Councilman from the Fourth Ward for the past two years. A business man of energy and ability; if selected by the Republican party he will give the county's work the same close attention he has given his own business. A NEW MAN Is in the race for County clerk with the same tireless energy, that has characterized him in fighting the battles of other fellows. No man is better known to the colored voters of Shawnee county than "Doc" Newman. He has always manifested much interest in promoting the interest of colored people, and employs them in every way possible. He is interested in the Continental Clothing Company and is regarded as one of the coming young bnusiness men of our city. Last campaign he served as Secretary of the Republican County Central Committee and gave excellent satisfaction. "Doc" Newman is very popular among a large class of Republican voters who predict his nomination. He is very friendly to the colored people. NUMBER 17. Opens. r Saturday, June various Places. J. B. MARSHALL the leader of Marshall's Millitary Band is a candidate for Register of Deeds. Mr. Marshall has been a resident of Topeka for a number of years, and through his efforts the great musical organization bearing his name was conceived and brought to a degree of perfection unequaled by any similar organization in the West. Mr. Marshall has served as electrician in charge of the City Electric Light plant and gave entire satisfaction. He is affable and pleasant and if selected for the position, to which he aspires, he will be a terror of strength. T. V. CODDINGTON whose announcement for Register of Deeds, appears elsewhere in this paper, has for thirty four years been a resident of this county. He has spent the best years of his life laboring for Kansas. He is an old soldier and a member of Lincoln Post. He served as Lieutenant in the Fifty Second U.S. Colored Infantry during the late civil war, and was highly respected by the men who served under him, for his deep interest in their welfare. During the years he has lived in Topeka, he has always readily and willingly assisted all old comrades when called upon to do so. Mr. Coddington will make a good officer if seleted for Register of Deeds. POLICE COMMISSIONER GRE GORY CALLS THEM DONS OF VICE Police Commissioner Gregory and prosecuting attorney, H. S. Hadley, made an interesting talk before the Men's Union of the 1st Congregational Church, upon the evils of the Negro "Social" Clubs. Mr. Gregory calls them dens of vice, and he struck the nail on the head. They are deans of infamy and vice where many of our boys are graduated in crime, and our girls into genuine prostitutes.—The influence of these clubs upon the Negro youth of to lay is most pernicious and dangerous, and it is hoped by the colored people of this city that the above named gentlemen will do all that is in their power to remedy this evil which is threatening our youth with ruin.—Rising Sun. The Kansas City Rising Sun takes the right view of the case. But it is one thing to condemn and point out evidence of evil, and another to provide a remedy. We must take the initiative in providing places where our boys and girls will be surrounded by more wholesome means of enjoyment. These places flourish and prosper because, we do not provide other places for our boys and girls to spend their idle time. Let the race leaders in every community ponder this question.

Very soon school will close and the question of what to do with the buy, will be uppermost in the minds of the thoughtful parent, and mighty perplexing one it is. Just at this time nothing could prove more bene- ficial to the parents and the bey than to farm him out. At the eame time that he will be learning atrad> that is euperior to any other trade or pro- feasion, he will also be earning few dollars, and his environment is conducive to habits of thrift and fru: gality. Reports of Secretary Cuburr of the Board of Agriculture indicate that the cerial crop this year in Kan sas will eclipse all previous years in tiehistory of the State. Already special reductions is being made by ete to enable ten thousand farn laborers to come to the State to aid in harvesting this vast erop. The splendid cerial cropa of the past twe or three yeare has enabled the Kan. ess farmers to pay their debts, and has created a demand for farm lan that hss given the prices an upwarc tendency, that will soon carry it be youd the reach of the poor man. Noy ie the time for the Negro, who is de nied the right to enter the big mills factories, railroad shops etc., through out the country, to tura_ their atten tion to farming, and Kansas has ad vautages not possessed by any othe State. Send your boy to the farm. “Speaking of blind justice here's a Kansas sample: A white fiend raped a little colored girl over in North To- peka. We understand that he got two yearsin the penitentiary. A Negro was accused of raping a white woman in Leavenworth, and is burned at the stake. From this kind of justice, Good Lord, deliver us!” The Topeka ‘Plaindealer is authority forthe above. We thought better things of Kansas, but since that Leavenworth horror, we are prepared for almost anything. —Enterprise. Well, if you will only consult the usual miscarriages of justice all over America, where the black man ia con. cerned, you will find Kansas a fair sample of all. LEAVENWORTH. the proposition to vote bonds t build three new School building carried by a large majority. This i as it ehould be, for there never was § more deserving purpose for which th People can vote bonds. The amoun of $34,500 estimated by the Board will if properly divided and imparti ally expended will furnish three mod ern school houses, one of which wil go to the colored children in Nort! Leavenworth, Itis an ill wind that brings no good toany one, For years the colored patrons of the North Leavenworth School have been demanding better schovl facilities, and that that old rookey in which the colored children have been achooled for nearly two generation be abated, owing to its unhealthy location, and its unpleas- ant surroundings. ‘Their suplications demands and protests were always met with the responce, that we, the Board, have no funds, and that the people will not vote bonds, etc.” but as soon as more school accomodation and facilities were needed for white school children, then the Board found out at once, that 4 proposition to vote bonds woald be satisfactory to the people. Therefore a committee was appointed by the school board to make an estimate of the cost of three six- room school buildings two for white children and one for the patient and long suffering colored children. The committee consists of Messrs C. F. W. Dassler, J.C, Lysle, and O. J. Twogood. It was upon the fa- vorable report of these gentlemen and members of the Buard, that the pro position to vote bonds to build new echool houses was submitted, and to them is due much credit for the fair manner in which the colored children were treated, and for the piospecte of removing the North Leavenworth polored school and for a new building and for better school fucilities. Let he good work goon, The agitation for the enforcement. of the prohibitory law by Mrs. Na- ion, has caused an expression from he people at the bailot box in the re- ent election, which is unfavorable to he law, and which might be interpre- ed as meaning that the Republican arty will have to adopt a resubmis- ion plank iu its platform, if it hopes o win sgainet the combined efforts of] he opposition party which is for re- ubmission. The leaders of the party bad just as rell make up their minds to face the ausic, for the band wagon is coming, nd will nut only run over them, but ill buck up on them if they do not. ide or get out of the way, The earl- a decision is made on this impor nt feature of the platform, the bet-| the understauding will be with the eople who have been for twenty ears bedeviled, harrassed and annoy- .d by a lot of hypocritical, pretending fwhem cry aloud for prohibition, put keep in their cellars and in cold storage plants, their beer and whisky, and send their servants for their wet oods, drink it in setlusion and peace, Out on such goody-govdy folks. That claes of people will attempt to ecntrol. the.expression of the Republican par- ty in the next convention; and if headed, they will not be eatisfied, but after making sure of the defeat of the Republican party by securing a pro- hibition plank in the platform, will as goou as they can and i, keeping with their pzst record, beat their “rat, tat, tat,” call their clans together and nominate a atraigh? prohibition ticket for the avowed purpose of defeating the Republican ticket which they have loaded down with prohibition. Prohibition and temperance should not be made a party question, nor a test of party fealty, because its a ques- tion upon which republicans and dem- ocrats and populists differ about, and a resubmission plank does not neces- sarily corsmit any party tothe whisky interest, but gives the people who seem to be dissatisfied, after a fair trial of prohibition, an opportunity to pass again upon the question; while the advocacy of political prohibition ia a denial of that right. Capt. George W, Jackson, that pes- tiferous, insolent, arrogant and pro- voking individual who is eternally pushing his nasty probosis into the business of decent citizens, performed that obnoxious feat‘just ouce too of. ten for the good of hide and health. A few nights since,when a few colored mien whose patience had beea tamper. ed with, gave the Captain such adrub: bing, that when he reached his home, his family did not recognize him.— ‘Well, come people only learn through their hides, } ‘The colored citizens of Leavenworth have organized to protect themselves. ‘They have an organization of weveral ‘bundred strong known as the Anti ‘Lynching Association. | The father of Fred. Alexander who was burced, bas asked the County Attorney for several warrants for the arrest of persons who murdered hi son. The Cousty Atturney has call- edan inquisitorial court of all the witnesses offered by Mr. Alexander: for the purpose, he says, of finding out for himself if there is testimuny enough to produce a conviction. If in his mind he determines that a conviction can be had, he says he will issue the complaints. The County Attorney may be proceeding correctly, but that is a novel proceedure in this county. We shall await and see what we shall see. Miss E, J. Embry, teacher in the Western University, and Prof. W. T. Vernon, visited friends in this city last Sunday. Lawyer A. M.

TO HELP JACKSON'S BAND. COLORED CITIZENS MEET AND FORM AN ORGANIZATION. A meeting of colred creed citizens was held on Monday night at the Commercial club at which an organization was formed the purpose of which is to support Jackson's Militaryband. The Commercial club is lending its assistance to the movement and Major T. J. Anderson was present and made a brief address in which he outlined a plan for work and explained the benefits of such an association. The organization consists only of a board of directors of seven members, although there are a large number of others backing the scheme. It is the idea to place the band on a sound financial basis and to remove the care of the management from Prof. Jackson's shoulders. The following is the board of directors of which Major Anderson was chosen an advisory member: J. H. Guy, chairman, F. M. Stonestreet, Prof. G. W. Jackson, George W. Smith, J. H. B. Taylor, J. M. Wright and H. DeShatio. NORTH TOPEKA. Daughter Wooten, of Lincoln, a member of the Massadonia Tabernacle No 93, is enjoying good health and we are glad to know that she is.

The Club adjourned to meet at Mrs M J Martin's Tuesday night, April 30th. Frank C. Bowen, whose announcement appears in this issue, for the nomination to the office of County Treasurer, is well and favorably known throughout the entire county. He has been connected with the County Treasurer's office during the terms of Ex-Treasurers, Bradford Miller, A J Huntoon, Byron Roberts A K Rodgers, F M Stahl, and H M Philips, present Treasurer, and needs no introduction to the tax payers. He has grown grey in the service and has become known to many of the patrons as "The Old Grey." Always pleasant and obliging and ready to accommodate any and all patrons, of the office. Mr. Bowen is an old resident of this County, and his long service has enabled him to be of much help to the large class of people who have not been able to fully understand their accounts with the county. To the colored people he has been exceptionally kind. He was a member of the first Flambeau Club in the First Ward—also a member of the famous Hayes and Wheeler Club, and has been actively identified with Republican politics for the last twenty years. The Imperial Art Club held a very interesting meeting with Mrs D F Mallory last Saturday. ABILENE. Mrs Harrison Allen has returned home.

Ware and spent a delightful afternoon, after two hours of busy needle work. A dainty lunch was served and the Club adjourned to meet with Mrs. Chiles. Among the Negroes of Jefferson county, J. H. Tompkins is one of the most promising young men of his race. He is certainly solving the industrial problem. He owns 150 acres of the best land near Oskaloosa; and is considered one of the most prosperous farmers of the county. He is also one of the shrewdest politicians in the county, without regard to color. He is consulted in all political caucuses, and if the race between two candidates is very close, his opinion is asked, and the figures that he presents are generally accepted by all. So well attentive to business is Mr. Tompkins, that he has won for himself, mail carrier, on the No. 2, free delivery route; and so far as is known, he is the only Negro in Kansas who carries a key to an appointive office by the President for the special purpose of entering at any time. This shows that Negroes can be trusted. Henry Bell is another one of Jefferson county's coming Negroes. He owns 200 acres of good land on which is found two good houses; one in which he lives and one for his tenant. He believes that this is the best way to solve the Negro problem; that he must be a producer as well as a consumer. So business like is Mr. Bell that he won the confidence and support of the leaders of the Republican party, for the position of messenger at the last State Legislature, which position he filled with credit to himself and his race.

Recognizing the fact that there are many SO CALLED hair growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to 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 1671 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, thouh a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt I OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 875 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 cut e the hair to grew long and straight, sift 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, cuasing the hair to fit out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are bearing these spurious compounds, which are tiled with animal fat, 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 adverti-ements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonies.

Board of the State Convention was called to order at 10 a.m. by President T H Ewing. Deacon Monroe conducted devotionals. Revs W L Grant, W E Helm and H I Monroe were announced as Com. on Finance. Secretary read minutes of last quarterly meeting which were approved. An inquiry was made in regard to the delay of the publication of State minutes. After an explanation from Revs Copeland and Frazier, they were appointed as a com. to assist the Rec. See. in getting out the minutes in next ten days. The Ex. Board proceeded to business. It is well to note here, that the State Convention works in co-operation with the Mission Society of New York. It is our object and our work in connection with the above named society to support a State missionary, missionary pastors, and to keep a church edifice fund. The missionary is employed at $700 per annum, besides travelling expenses and postage. He is to superintend the mission work in the State. The missionary pastors are those who labor in destitute fields. The Church Edifice fund is to loan money to struggling churches, to rid them of their indebtedness and thus save their property. The Home Mission Society pays half salary of general missionary and half of missionary pastors' salaries, as we might have. Therefore to keep this work going, we are compelled to meet every three months and raise our pro-rata for these departments, that the mission work might be kept alive in our state. We call upon every Church to send 17c a member annually, one-fourth to be paid every three months for this work. The Sunday Schools, and Mission circles are auxiliaries which help in collecting this money to carp on the great work entrusted to our hands. They are proving a great help. Owing to the lack of financial funds last quarter, we were compelled to lay aside all missionary pastons except one (Rev. R. Cox, Ellsworth and Ellis.) At the Lawrence meeting we were able to put in the field as missionary pastors, the following named persons, Reva R Cox at $50 for balance of year. M S Jones, Garden city, $50. J W Price, at Dunlap, at $50. R H Graham, Carbondale and Tonganoxie, $50. G W Budette, Bonner Springs, $25. For lack of sufficient money, the following missionary applications were passed for present, Revs T W Greene Iola and Mound city, C Seal, Cherryvale and Independence, R J Johnston Great Bend, Revs J S King, Cherokee, Z Griffin, Humboldt, A C Pierce Columbus, were left in hauds of special com. to act later on, Com. Revs Van Leu, Fairfax, N C Robinson. Through the Church Edifice fund, a loan of $200 was granted Shilob church, Burlingame, the Convention to raise $66 2-3. The following com. on Claims was appointed, Revs W L Grant, N C Robinson, A Fairfax, M L Copeland, J H VanLeu. On business, Revs G McNeale, H F Frazier, J S King, D Watson. The recommendations from the S. S. Board of Mrs Maley Alexander as a temperance and religious worker, and Rev H W Scott to the Baptist brotherhood abroad, were read and endorsed by the Executive Board proper. The afternoon was taken up mostly in receiving reports from the different churches. The preaching service was dispensed with at 4 p. m. and the topic—"Some hindrances in the Christian work," was discussed. The discussion was led by Revs W E Helm and E Arlington Wilson, followed by Revs G McNeale, G W Burdette, A L Voorhees. On motion the place of the annual meeting of the Convention was left in hands of com. consisting of Revs T H Ewing, E A W'ilson, J H VanLeu, W L Grant. In the evening devotionals were led by pastor. Rev J Thomas, Salina, read an interesting and instructive paper on "Twentieth Century Revivals" After a lengthy discussion, the paper was adopted as sentiments of the Board. Rev Dr Miller, pastor U B F Ch. Lawrence was introduced and delivered an excellent address. A communication from Rev J W Price was read and Sec. notified to answer on behalf of the body. following table which was adopted. Ballance last quarter $10.21; Garden City Church $5; 3d Ch.

The Board was invited to hold its 3d quarterly meeting in Edwardsville July 4 5, 6, with the 1st Baptist Church. Thus closed the most successful Board meeting held for years. Peace and harmony reigned during the entire session. The sermons, papers and addresses were all of a high grade. The brethren were business like, and business was expedited in an orderly manner. The President is a model presiding officer. He was ever calm and watchful. Pastor DeClelland is an enterprising young man of much intelligence and ability, and spared no pains in making our stay welcome. Each mess-enger returned to his home with the best words of praise for pastor and people. Warren St. proved herself capable in every respect to entertain and care for strangers and friends. Never in the history of the State Board meeting have they been better treated, more hospitably received. That Heaven's choice benediction may rest upon the pastor and church is the prayer of the various Boards. Rev. F. H Ewing, Pres. E. Arlington Wilson, WHEN IN EMPORIA— The Blue Front Restaurant.
