THE TOPEKA PLAINDEA Historical Society State House --- REPUBLICAN CANDIDLTES ARE MAKING AGGRESSIVE AND CLEAN CAMPAIGNS-COL. JELTZ IS BARRID. 2 VOLUME III. The Shawnee county campaign is taking form rapidly. Politicians galore are dilating on the many excellencies of their particular candidate. The fight for sheriff has narrowed down to Bert Lucas and Hal Williams. Both men are pushing the game up to the limit. They are both popular men and the rece will be a close one. Williams with his position as under sheriff for four years, has had an excellent opportunity to flx up his fences. Lucas belongs to the young crowd of politicians and has a host of friends who are turning every stone to make him win. **** In the county clerk fight, the withdrawal of Fred. Roundtree as announced in The Daily Capital, leaves only "Doc" Newman, A. A. Swazey and Col. Fred. Jeltz. Unfortunely for Col. Jeltz, he is obliged to be out of town a great deal and his campaign has not been pushed with the vigor it should be. Newman and Swazey are hustling things. Both are popular with the colored voters and the outcome of the primary is being watched with Keen interest: Mr. Swazey has had three years as deputy county clerk and it will be Swazey against the field. His long and faithful service to the party has made him many friends. "Doc" Newman is a member of the Continental Clothing Co., and one of the rising young business men of the city. He served as secretary of the Republican county central committee last fall and was untiring in his efforts to promote the success of the party. He is extremely popular among the colored voters. --- Capt. W. S. Everle, Frank Crown and W. F. Weber are dividing honors in the race for county treasurer. They are all good men and the county finances will be well cared for if entrusted to either. Mr. Everle has grown up in the city and is deserving of great credit for his energy and perservance. His honesty and energy, together with his splendid record as deputy county treasurer, entitles him to the favorable consideration of all classes. Frank Brown has served the tax-payers of this county for many years. He will make a strong candidate if selected by the party. W. T. Weber, the popular Fourth ward councilman, for twenty years has been selling groceries and doing business in this county. He is known as a careful business man, and is making a strog candidate among the business men. +++ The withdrawal of Sam Garrard from the race for register of deeds, leaves the fight between Van Vechton, Marshall and Caddington. In this fight it looks like a neck and neck race between Van Vechton and Marshall. Mr. Marshall's recent tender of the service of his great band to assist the Twenty-third Regiment band should not be construed as a departure in the conduct of that gentleman. Years ago, it was due to his efforts that the first Negro was placed in the Topeka fire department. And last year he turned over his park to the Twenty-third Kansas boys for their reunion. Mr. Marshall has alway been friendly to the colored people. In the race for county commissioner, two of Shawnee coun- ty's best known farmers are asking the support of the Republican voters. Mr. George A. Anderson is from the west end of the district and Mr. Skinner from the east. The west side has never had a representative on the board and feel at this time that they should have some consideration. This county is rapidly growing in population and wealth and the board of county commissioners should be composed of the best men in the county. Either Mr. Anderson or Mr. Skinner will make an ideal commissioner. Both are men of good sense and judgment, who if selected will carefully and economically administer our county affairs. ++++ The present Republican primary is one exceptionally free from personal attacks. All the candidates are good clean men who will honestly serve the interest of the county. The colored voters have nothing to fear from any of them. All recognize the Negro as a factor in Shawnee county affairs, both politically and financially and will reward him accordingly. Do not forget that the primaries are to be held Saturday, June 1, and that the selection of a strong county ticket will depend upon each voter getting out early and working for the man of his choice. The Capital: "Col Fred. L. Jeltz, who has been running for county clerk for the past six months, did not have [the price and has been ruled off the official ballot by the Republican county committee. The committee levied an assessment of $60 against each candidate. This made Col. Jeltz very wryly and he declared it a hold-up. He finally offered to compromise by paying $40, but the committee refused his offer. The colonel says he will be a candidate anyway, and says he will call upon his numerous friends throughout the county to write his name on the ballot. I have a cinch on this nomination" said Editor Jeltz "and the people will endorse my protest on the highhanded methods of the tyrannical county committee. It will be a little inconvenient for my friends to write my name but they understand the difficulty perfectly and when the votes are counted it will be found that my competitors were also-rans." EQUITABLE EXCHANGE NEW DEPARTURE IN GROCERY BUSINESS. The growth of co-operation among people is now noticeable in these days of gigantic financial combines. Mr. A. W. Grigsby has resided in this city for a number of years and has spent some time in studying the various ways of co-operation and has worked out this plan for practical co-operation. This plan has the endorsement of Rev. C. M. Sheldon and a large number are supporting the plan. In order to carry out their socialistic theory of the exchange of commodities, the Equitable Exchange, grocery store has been opened at E. Sixth street. This store was opened on the 13th of May which goes to show that it's proprietors are above the influence of modern superstition. The following trustees have been selected by the association: Mrs. T. E. Bowman, Messrs. W. D. Gilpin and TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 24, 1901. and A. O. Grigsby. These trustees will have full control of the business and have placed the active management in the hands of Mr. W. G. Frazeur, who was formerly engaged in the commission business in this city. All goods are bought at wholesale and sold at the usual retail rate, and one-half of the profits to be returned to the contract holders and the remainder to be used in extending the business and educating the people in a better understanding of the purchasing power of money. The following is the contract made with all parties desiring to become partners: EQUITABLE EXCHANGE. NOTE—The business manager of the Equitable Exchange is hereby instructed to enter into the following agreement with all who desire to become regular patrons and to file a duplicate copy of each agreement with the trustees, and keep a roll book containing the address of each patron. By order of the trustees, this 13th day of May 1901.—W. D. GILPIN, Secretary. The trustees of the Equitable Exchange, dealers in groceries and general merchandise, now located at 111 E. Sixth avenue, Topeka, Kas., hereby give themselves to the patrons, to have the business conducted according to the rules and regulations which have been adopted by the patrons, which provide: FIRST—that all goods shall be sold at the usual market price and that the market price shall be paid for all products. SECOND—that one-half of the net profits shall be divided equally between the regular patrons of the business. THIRD—that one-half of the net profits shall be used under the direction of the trustees to extend the business and to educate the people into a comprehensive understanding of the value of their purchasing power as a means of enabling them to increase their incomes without increasing their expenses. FOURTH—that reports of the financial condition of the business shall be regularly furnished each person who signs, and carries out in good faith, as a regular patron of the Equitable Exchange, the following AGREEMENT: I the undersigned..... believe in the principles of the Equitable Exchange, as above set forth by the trustees, and desiring to assist in the work of establishing these principles in all of our business relation, hereby agree to use Equitable Exchange certificates in the transaction of business whenever practicable, and do all of my buying and selling as far as possible without serious personal loss to myself, through the said Equitable Exchange and should I fail to do so without reasons satisfactory to the board 'of managers. I hereby authorize the trustees to erase my name from the roll of regular patrons, who are entitled to benefits. In witness whereof, I hereunto affixed my signature, this the.....day of..... 190..... Witness..... Signed..... Business Mgr. ..... The capital to develope this business is secured by the patrons depositing a sum of money with the trustees and receiving in return a certificate or receipt for same which will be honored on demand by the Equitable Exchange company for groceries or goods carried in stock. This certificate reads as follows: EXCHANGE CERTIFICATE EXCHANGE CERTIFICATE. Topeka, Kansas.....190... No. This Certifies that.....has this day deposited the sum of Five Dollars in.....with the Equitable Exchange Association, to be redeemed on demand in goods at the market price. .....Pres.....Sec.....Manager. These certificates are used among the members as so much scrip. The business will be conducted along the lines of Christian brotherhood. Each man is regarded as a steward of what he possesses, which he is bound to use to the best interest of all. This plan recognizes the principle that the purpose of business should be service and not gain. The grocery store is but the first step in a comprehensive plan which is designated to include all kinds of business. This store now starts off with over two hundred customers and more are being added each day. There will be no discrimination on account of color. All classes and conditions of men will be welcomed as members of this movement. --- MINISTERS AND DEACONS UNION. IOLA, KAS., May 9.—The Ministers and Deacons' union, of the Central Baptist association, met at the Second Baptist church at 3.30 p. m., with vice-president, Rev. T. W. Greene presiding. The president appointed Rev. Hale to conduct the devotional service after which the journal of the last session was read, and approved. The following brothers paved their quarterly dues: Revs. R. Cox, 25c; J. S. Hale, 25c; H. W. Scott, 25c; Deacons Stokes, 25c; A. Woodward, 25c. Sisters Anna Crawford and Carrie Montgomery, of Burlington, 10c each; Sister J. Phelps, 10c; Revs. Jones, 10c; J.

Phelps delivered the address of welcome in an able manner, response, Rev. R. Cox. The choir furnished excellent music for the entire session. Symposium, the Lord's Army was ably discussed by Revs. R. Cox, J. Thomas, H. W. Scott, A. Fairfax and Presiding Elder W. B. Brooks of the A. M. E. church. Revs. J. S. Hale, J. Thomas, H. W. Scott and A. Fairfax, preached able sermons. Rev. Thomas read an able paper on the Twentieth Century revivals. During the last day's session it seemed as though the spirit of God fell upon the whole congregation. Three ladies joined the church. Total amount received from all sources $18.01. The following resolutions offered by Revs. J. Thomas and H. W. Scott were adopted: WHEREAS, The pastor, Rev. T. W. Greene and the members of Mount Zion Baptist church and the other two M. L. churches and citizens of Iola in general who opened their doors and gave the members and friends of this Union such a hearty welcome, both in the churches and their homes, and seemed to have spared no pains to make it pleasant for us. Therefore be it RESOLVED; That we return our heartfelt thanks to them for the same and we will hold them in lasting esteem, and pray God's blessings on their churches and homes. RESOLVED; That we thank the choir for their beautiful music and regular attendance. That we also thank the president for his impartial manner in which he presided. JAMES HOMAS. Committee. WHEREAS, We have missionaries in Africa, whereas God has blessed thousands of souls by their preaching the gospel. The late Rev. Steward spent many years in the land of Africa, and during the past month fell at the hand of death as a soldier at his post. He leaves a wife and two children. Be it. RESOLVED; That we do all we can to assist the state so it can help the foreign mission board to care for his family. H. W. Scott. We your committee on business ask to make the following report: Printing programs $2.00; vice-president for services $2.00; that the proceedings be printed in The Topeka Plaindealer, and that sufficient be allowed to pay for same, and that the secretary compile the minutes and send them to the members of the Union, and that $2.75 be allowed him for his services; that the janitor receive $1.00; record book 50c; and the remainder of $7.98 be held by the secretary until the next meeting. Thus closed one cf the best meetings of the season. Deacon N. Stokes, Rev. and Sister Hale, Mrs. Stokes and Sister Campbell came over from Chanute to help make the meeting a success. Iola Sunday School of the Second Baptist church holds the state banner. Adjourned to meet in Paola, Kas., Wednesday before the second Sunday in August. Salina, Kansas. Our County Central Committee having called our republican primaries for Saturday, June 1, for the nomination of county officers, I take this method of informing you of my candidacy before the voters of this county for the office of County Treasure, and most respectfully requests your support for the same. Owing to my many duties, I realize it will be impossible for me to make a thorough canvass and call in person on each voter as I would like to do, hence this letter. I have been a resident of this county for the past 32 years, and have been employed in the offices of County Treasure, County Clerk, and various other County offices for the past twenty years, but have never been "it" in any of them. I cheerfully refer any and all voters to Messrs. Bradford Miller, A. J. Huntoon, Byron Roberts, A. K. Rodgers, F. M. Stahl and H. M, Phillips, for whom I have served as assistant during tax payments in December and June during their several terms as County Treasure of this county. I would also refer you to J. Lee Knight, Chas. F. Spencer, D. N. Burge, Jno. M Brown Chas. T. McCabe and John M. Wright whom I have assisted during the period of making up Tax Rolls of this county during their respective terms as County Clerk. I have always endevored to be attentive to business, and have especially tried to "always wait on you first" during the rush of tax payments, and hope no one will be "agin" me on account of any differences in this line. Owing to my familiarity with County records I feel capable and thoroughly compitent to fill the office of County Treasure, and will use my best endeavors to be an obliging and accommodating official. I have made no promises, am not a party to any combination or clicue, have no direct interest in the success or failure of any candidate, but ask and hope for your favorable consideration of my candidacy. Sincerely yours FRANK C. BOWEN. Wichita. M. E. Woods of Kingman was in the city Sunday to attend the annual sermon of the Odd Fellows. The Ladies Mission circle gave an entertainment at the Second Baptist church, Wednesday evening. W. E. Whitted who has been ill for several days, is up again.

A social club was organized by a number of ladies Saturday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. I. Reed. Mrs. Lillie Oweus died Monday evening of last week. Rev. B. F. Watson secretary of the church extension society, was in the city Sunday and preached at the morning and evening services at the A. M. E. church. Mrs. J. H. Covington is on the sick list. Notice.

Just because the freezeout system was in force at the High School failed to freeze out, this time, three colored pupils in the graduating class there is a cry in the Globe. The colored children had driven the whites out. It is not so. Stop your freeze out system. You might as well be fair and let them through on time else the colored people have an understanding to keep them there. "Eye sore" to you or no eye sore until you lt. tt them through. We feel sincerely grateful for what ever assistance the better element of whites may have given us but this does not close the colored man's eyes to the enumerable indignities offered the race, by the adversary who say, "You are getting equal treatment, an equal show in life" and such falsehoods. The colored people cannot give to much praise to the christian faculty of the Couniy High School. There the whites believe their children can win on their merits. Perfect harmony exists between the colored and white children there. No asking by the teachers. "Wouldn't you colored children rather be in a seperate school to yourselves?" You colored children this and that, and having some of them sit in a class a whole week without asking them a question. No the colored people don't want any seperate High School, It is coming from the wrong source and you have learn them to mistrust your intention. NUMBER 21. Treat the colored child right and stop leading the white child to hate them. Leave the children alone and go kneel in prayer. Miss Willa Smith, traveling Agent for the Plain Dealer was here this week looking pointedly after delinquents and new subscribers. Miss Myrtle Porter, one of Atchisons most prominent young ladies, a good pianist, now contemplates entering one of the eastern conservatories of music to take the highest course. Accept the Plain Dealer's good wishes Miss Myrtle. Jas Bradley says the malicious treatment the Globe gave the colored people in exciting white people against them in the School Bond subject at last election is not so easily forgotten as to follow any of the Globe's suggestions in separating the High School that the colored people will take no chances on a trick of being crammed off in one room with other inferior facilities. So they had better stand the present evil. Rev. Ward's face is about due in Atchison. A north Atchison young lady's beau presented her two beautiful lots and she is now busy setting trees thereon. Now rubber! It is true. Johny Barbee one of Atchison's old sons and favorites is here on a visit. Miss Rena Barton returned from Omaha Wednesday morning after a years absence. We heard a great deal of shouting at her home when she came. Extracts from Father Moses Dixon. I have made a thorough investigation to find out the reason so many Temples and Tabernacle were lost. I found that a large majority of them were imperfectly organized by the Deputies. They gave the degrees and install the officers, and leave them without any farther instruction. Of course, these new members did not know how to conduct the business; they soon got tired and closed up. The Taborian Constitution, page 168, plainly gives the law for Deputies to work by C. G. Ms. are requested to have them obey this law. We have lost a number of the Royal House from imperfect instruction. This, the highest department in our order, requires the Deputies to give the most careful instruction on its managements. A Deputy that organizes only for the money that he gets is a positive injury to our order and must be stopped. Sometimes we commission dishonest Knights and have trouble with them. In most cases we soon detect them and arrest their commissions. There is one that I commissioned in may 1900. He was highly recommended. His name is Rev-Samuel Johnson, of DesMoines Iowa. I thought I had secured a gem of a Deputy. The first organization he made was in Iowa. This was all right. The next time I heard of him he was in a small town in Ohio. He gave a number of ladies the degrees and he took the money and skipped out, without giving them a warrant and supplies. The next time I heard of him he had been to Joliet, Illinois, made a number of Knights and Daughters, got their money, and left them without Charter or supplies. By this time I had my detectives hunting for him, but he was like a flame when they went to put their hands on him, he was not there. When I heard from him again he was at New Castle, State of Washington. He apparently had repented of his evil deeds. He sent for a Charter for a Temple. Having received the Charter, he gave a number of ladies the degrees and got their money, but did not send for a warrant. He borrowed money from the Knights and Daughters, and left for parts unknown. All Knights and Daughters of Tabor every where are hereby notified that this Rev. Samuel Johnson's commission is dead, and he has been suspended from all of the rights and privileges of the International order of twelve. Show him up, and warn all members of his acts. We heard that Rev. Samuel Johnson is in the southern part of the State of Kansas and at his same trade. Weir City and Parsons, Kansas perhaps can tell of his whereabouts.

Western farms are offering glittering prospects for success to our boys. Let them come West and see the promise land. Our young men who have a habit of spending the summer at the seaside resorts, would earn more on Kansas farms. Come West and try it. Reports of continued prosperity in Kansas are coming in all the time. Kansas is better than Wall Street to make and keep money in. Come West and try it. While many of our preachers are making a strenuous efforts to meet church obligations, they would do well to put in a few licks in the interest of the boys and girls. We attended, service the other Sunday and the entire burden of the sermon was urging the members to contribute more money. Try and lay up a few treasurers in heaven. Constant preaching about money, drives he young people away. The passing of Populism in the west and north and the elimination of the Negro as a political factor in the South, bringing the South into the Republican column, promises a lease of life to the party in power. This may be good politics, but at what sacrifice. Kansas is placing on the market several hundred thousand acres of school lands. These lands are suitable for grazing and other agricultural purposes, and can be sold on more reasonable terms than other lands. The Plaindealer is very anxious that some of these lands should pass into the hands of Negro farmers. We will present next week a free statement advancing the methods of obtaining these lands and also their location. The supreme court decided the mayoralty case in favor of General Hughes. Mr. Parker's attorneys have instituted quo warranto proceedings to bring about a recount of the votes cast at the city election April 2. Topeka has had more trouble over the mayoralty contest this year than a Kentucky fued. Sensible people, regardless of color, do not object to an educational qualification for voters, but, what they do object to, is that deliberate designs should be made on the suffrage rights of any particular element of our citizenship because of their color. The South is demanding additional tests for voters because they desire to shut out the Negro. Hon James A. Troutman was appointed councilman from the Sixth ward. We commend the Colonel for his sensible act. Mr. Troutman will do what he believes to be right. He is a little off on how to reform people but is rapidly catching on. With eight white in firms Topeka engaged in the undertaking business to supply the demands of about thirty thousand white people, why is it that ten thousand Negroes in this city can't support an undertaking establishment operated by colored men? These white men are all making money at this business—we have our share of deaths. Since Clark's Embalming school, of Quincy, Ill., is turning out three or four colored professionals in that line each year why not extend an invitation to some of them to cast their lot with us?

Bowns, Liatia Daniels, Chaney Vaugho, Sadie Owns, Julia North Miss Samella Lacy and Elsie Orr and Mr. Charles Pillow to raise $50 for his annual benevolent purposes. These parties reported last Sunday and turned in $158. These are the right kind of church workers and Rev. Moppins is to be congratulated. This is one Negro church that does not owe a dollar. It certainly ought to be rich in charity to all. The Ascension Day celebration by Cyrene Commandery No. 3, K. T., was a magnificent success. Promptly at 3 p.m. the Sir Knights assembled at their asylum tent. Owing to the threatening weather, the parade and church service was abandoned. The services held in the asylum were interesting and impressive. Splendid addresses were made by Sir Knifflits Rev. G. D. Olden and Rev. J. R. Ransom. In the evening at Metropolitan hall an interesting program was rendered. The program closed with an exhibition drill by Cyrene Commandery.

Chiles, of Oakland, handed us the following: "There is a little boy at my place, one and a half miles east of Oakland, who says he ran away from home. He gives his name as Fred. Lee, of Fishback, he says he has an aunt in Lawrence, Kas., and that her name is Laura Gibson." A large and appreciative audience greeted Miss Lucy J. Bledsoe at 11S W. Eighth street last Friday evening, this being her first musicale in Topeka since her return from Boston. The playing of Miss Bledsoe was fine—superb and showed marked improvement over previous good work. Miss Bledsoe possesses rare musical talent and Topeka is justly proud of her accomplishments. She gives a recital in Kansas City Friday night. Mr. Anderson Chiles died at his home on Washington street last Thursday night at 11:30. Interment Saturday in the Topeka cemetery.

Deceased was a market vender and was quite successful. The four brides-elect, Misses Eva Hawkins, Ella Williams, Eliza Hamilton and Maule Ratley were paid a most graceful compliment last Saturday afternoon at the beautiful home of Miss Corinne Bennett, 803 W. Eighth street. About forty guests called during the afternoon and made the four young ladies the recepients of many smiles and hearty congratulations. The parlors were profusely decorated with white daisies and cornations, and gave a telling effect to the charming costumes. At the termination of each session hour, a two-course lunch was served. Each guests was presented with a unique little card, bearing the inscription, "Hearts are Trumps" and departed, wishing them an abundance of future success. R. I.

TOMB OF A MARRIED MAN BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. TRADE-MARK. BEFORE. AFTER Recognizing the fact that there are many 80 CALLED hair growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are founds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1571 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, thou a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale because to any extant it 1815 when it was put upon the market and met with many through test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honorable person to sell. It was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the condition, to be a member of the colored race, because they found it to be a hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as you will morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the ink 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, off-ring hair growers and hair straighteners, of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall on and doing great damage to the hair scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are not animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good.

It is a pity that the office of Justice of the Peace in this community can't be abolished; as that office serves as a bug-a-boo to intimidate and scare negroes. No negro has ever been known to get anything like a square deal before that justice. To insure this an appeal must invariably be taken to the district court. In the cases of the State vs. Robinson and the State vs. Turner and Foster Howland enough has been exposed to evoke the hearty indignation of all fair minded people against that justice and the county attorney for allowing those cases to be dragged into the district court. These cases have cost the tax payers five or six hundred dollars. Whatever there is dirty work to be done for white folks it takes a nigger to do it. LAWRENCE. Dear Editor: Thinking you might be glad of a few more items from an "Indoor," I take pleasure in contributing a few items. The co-operative store is in full blast Lleut, Stone and M. Gloed in charge and we know they are going to stick. It's deplorable to see how bully good culture is neglected in our homes.

We are glad to have the Hayter family added to our list of citizens. Christianity begins to live at first.

Mr. Jackson is noted for his push in whatever he undertakes. Everytime the harmonies entertain Mr. Jackson always puts forth extra efforts. On this occasion Mr. Jackson brought along with him Miss Miller who is one of his apt pupils, Miss Miller's execution of the part of the above named selection, not only from praises for herself, but reflected great credit upon Mr. Jackson as an instructor of plano forte, Mr. Jackson has a number of pupils and not praise him for his musical ability, but also his capacity as a host, in this role. He is the least to all the members of the club combined, as chairman of the executive committee on refreshments, he is always the right man. After the program the guests were invited into the dining room to partake of the refreshments. The table was tasty decorated, and Strode's orchestra rendered delftful music throughout the service. The people always expect a treat when the Harmonies entertain, for they are made up of the most talented musicians of the city. WEIR ITEMS Mr. and Mrs. C. W.

After extending congratulations to the bride and groom, the relatives and intimate friends who were present were served to a sumptuous wedding dinner by Mrs. Mayse, Mr. and Mrs. Stell expect to make the west their future home. Miss Trusty is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Trusty, an old and respected citizen of Leavenworth, and a graduate of the High school of the class 1800. Mr. Stell is formerly of San Antonio, Texas. The many friends of the young couple wish them success and happiness. Lousant cirle had a swell social at the Eleventh Hall Monday evening. The guest of honor was Miss Willa Smith of Topeka, the pleasing representative of the Plainncaler. Come again Miss Smith. Another couple are thinking about marrying, and the old people are not even aware that they were exchanging smiles, Misses Myrtle Porter, Little Bowen and Rev. King were delegates this week to the A. M. E. Sunday school convention Troy, Kansas. The most ridiculously dirty thing did the five colored graduates in the class of only two whites was to print class invitations and strike off all class names because the colored people had the majority. If you think such persecution of our children will lead us to advocate your separate high school you are mistaken. The devil will come out from under cover occasionally if he must sneak back when he fails to get his game. He is always hunting something to devour, something to slaughter. The colored people do not hate the white people but they are beginning to feel very keenly the wholesale injustice practiced on them by certain elements of whites. All the Sunday schools expect to have their little children to come together at Forest Park, Tuesday, the 25th. camination, and you don't begin to apply it until the child gets to the 8th grade other. This is a part of the freeze-out curriculum. In the Patrons meeting at the High School the same old numble hand saw to it that no colored teacher took part on the program. This is why the colored patrons stand away. Still you have a smooth excuse for this discrimination against our teachers. The colored people appreciate the honorable and just sayings of the Daily Champion on the High School mistreatment. The hearts of all white men are not with their brothers whose sense of manhood and honor would allow them to stoop to fight the weak and innocent. Our beloved Rev. Ward will be in the city Monday. LAWRENCE LOCALS Miss Ulla Ellis, daughter of Mrs Ben Ellis, died last Thursday after a lingering illness. One of the most beautiful memorials is the patience with which she bore her long suffering and the willingness with which she resigned herself to the will to Our Father which art in Heaven. Deceased was a member of Warren Street Baptist church and her funeral was attended at that church last Sunday afternoon. Services were conducted by Rev, Decielland and the Benevolent Society of this city of which she was a member. Deceased leaves a father, brother, three sisters and a host of friends to mourn her loss. The lodge of which the deceased was a member, deserves much praise for the kind assistance rendered during her sickness and death. The sympathy of the entire community is extended to the bereaved family. Miss Alta Hoyt has left the city for a short visit in the country in the hope of recuperating after her recent illness. Since school is to close and the students are to go home, no wonder "he" looks lonesome. Mrs. Nellie Langston-Irving-whose marriage to Mr. Artemus Irving, one of the students of Kansas State University last June, has only been recently announced, a few days last week in Kansas City, Mo., the guest of her husband, Mr. Irving is a very excellent young man and bids fair to become one of Kansas's most favored sons in the educational fields. The Harmonic Club entertained with a muscle last Thursday evening at the home of Miss M. J. Dillard. Some very excellent musical numbers were rendered especially the solo by Mr. John Gregg and the instrumental duet by Professor Jackson and Miss Mattie Miller. Light refreshments were served and all present were highly pleased with the work done by the members of the club. Rev. Decleland's heart was made to rejoice last Sunday eve when one young woman dared to give vent to her womanly convictions. A freshman of the Kansas State University escorted her to one of our churches. After the young people's meeting was over he informed her that she would be her service but could be back to see her home the day long service. Being a little over confident of his "bull" with her, he rushed away. He arrived just in time for this young woman of culture and refinement to inform him that he could "just go his way rejoicing." If he did not respect her enough to remain with her during the services, she respected herself too much to allow him to see her home. Rev. DeCieland has been begging and pleading with the young women of Lawrence to have the moral stamina to stand up for their rights and make the young men respect them; and that there are hundreds of men looking for just such young ladies for wives and—from all accounts—this young lady had numerous applicants to see her home, and the boys were standing around saying; "that's what I like, a woman with some pluck." Rev. favor the ladies by continuing your popular discourses and you will help Lawrence.(Handed to your correspondent.) Read the Paldeainer if you would know all the news. Rev. Brown of Neosho was in the city last week. The Misses Long and Miss Ella Miner Spent Sunday with Mrs. Harvey at Blue Mound. They report a fine time. Mrs. C.

All the churches from the city were represented and there others present from out of town. Rev J. W. Williams of St. James A. M. E. Church a read very interesting paper, subject, "What is preaching?" After which there was a lively discussion of the subject. Reports from the various churches were good. The Negro Minsters of Lawrence are now united regardless of creed or dogma and are trying to do what Christ would have them to do. The Alliance speaks very highly of the Plaindealer. Subscribe for the Plaindealer. All the churches of the city are undergoing repairs.

That we would like to see a colored man on the force as policeman, but white men don't wan't to be arrested by a colored man, Mr. Lee of course was defeated. Mrs. Anna Johnson who has been visiting at Kansas City, Mo., and Hiwatha Kansas on business returned last Wednesday. Mr. C. F. Fowler has returned from a pleasant trip to Osage City. Mr. Henry Marks made a flying trip to Denver last Saturday night so as to be with his Lodge at their annual sermon last Sunday.

The Odd Fellows had a large attendance as usual. Leavenworth, Kansas. Some time ago a white brute assaulted a white girl and threw her afterwards into a well, it was not his fault that he did not commit murder. That virtue snatcher and murderous scoundrel has not as yet been apprehended. The colored people of this city are very anxious to have that white brute caught in order that an example may be made of that class of friends who are raping and killing white girls and often leaving the impression that it was a negro who committed the dastardly act. It may be that this man is the same one who murdered Pearl Forbes, there's no telling, for his is the same sort of a crime and was done in about the same manner. One thing I do know that if the girl had said it was a Negro, Leavensworth would have taken a holiday and its white population would have paraded with shot guns and ropes in their effort to catch the Negro, and some Negro would have been caught, then the price of coal oil and matches would have gone up. The school Board appointed a special committee to investigate the protest of a few shanty Irish and lapeared beer luppers against the locating of the colored school on the lots on Dakota St., between sixth and seventh streets. That act of the Board indicates a back down, for the Board owns the lots and can locate the school on them and it should have taken a firm stand and told the protestants so. For some cause or other the colored preachers of this city have become aroused on the necessity of race unity and race success and are giving each Sunday, some wholesom advice from the pulpit to their respective congregations. Rev. Middleton took the lead in preaching some practical truths then Rev. Clark, and on last Sunday Revs. Banks and Stewart rounded out the measure while Rev. Jesse Harris was also telling his congregation some things they must do to promote their temporal happiness. Let the good work go on. The laymen are thanking who ever the bystander in Plaindealer, is for calling the attention of the preachers to this important race necessity. The Federation of Art Clubs met in this city last week and was well attended, several ladies being in attendance. Many members of the 1900 Art Club attended the sessions and received new inspiration from what they saw and heard. The Grand Armory Hall has been engaged for the Federation next month and extensive preparations are being made to entertain the delegates, also to show them the many places of resort in and about the city.

The senator says that he never misses a train, but ask him if any trains waited for him while here Miss Willa Smith, representative of the Plaindealer spent several days in the city looking after the interest of the Plaindealer.

Dr. Jackson returned yesterday from a trip to the South. A LONG FELT WANT SUPPLIED At 112 west 7 street, over the American Steam laundry a very swell club is being operated by the colored young men of our city, with Henry Hatcher as steward. The boys are all working very hard, and should the efforts of Epp Love, Geo. Branford and John Walker together with many others of the "System" Club continue to meet with favor in the future, as it has in the last ten days, in a short time the club will have attained its station along side of the foremost Negro, Social and Atheletic clubs of the west. A Brave Act. KANSAS CITY, KAS., May 21.—We understand that Gov. Stanley has received a groupe of the eight men who took their lives in their own hands to save the state of Kansas from a disgrace that could never be wiped out. These eight men who went down into the coal mines at the state prison and quelled 286 resisting convicts, displayed more courage than is found in the average man. So go into the bowels of the earth, 720 feet and surrender 286 of the most desperate characters in the prison, required more nerve than it did for the boys who charged San Juan Hill. We are expecting Gov. Stanley to present each with something as a token of their bravery and loyalty to the state. The following is the gentlemen: G. Harmon, Henry Stauf, William Duckell, P. E. Tihton, J. W. Newel, L. C. Bowers, D. W. Welch and G. W. Bowner. The Ladies Sewing Circle of St. John's A. M. E. met Wednesday with Mrs. J. Bennett.
