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?

Davie, he preached an able sermon and one that was ap- preciated by all, The Odd Fellows had a large attendence as uaual. Lenvenciectii:: ian: Se a, ae at eee.” eee, Te saulted a white girlund threw her afterwards into a well, it was not his fault that he did not commit nurder- That virtue snatcher and murderous scoundrel has not as yet been appre- hended. 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 rapeing and_kil- ling white girls und often leaving the impression that it was a negro who committed the dastardly act. 1t may be that this man is the same one who murdered Pearl Forbes, there's no telling, for hisis the same sort ofa erimeand was done in about the same manner. One thing I do know that ifthe girl had said it wasa Negro, Leavensworth would have taken a holiday and its white popula- tion 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 lap- eared beer luppers against the lo- cating of the colored school on the lots on Dakota St., between sixth and seventh streete. 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 aod told the protestants s0. For some cause or other the color- ed preachers of this city have become aroused on the necessity of race unity and race success and are giv- ing each Sunday. some wholesom ad- vice from the pulpit to their respec- tive congregations. Rev. Middleton took the leat in preaching sme practical truths then Rey. Clark, and on last Sunday Reys. Bavks and Stewart rounded out the measure while Rev. Jerse Haris was also tel- ling his congregation some things they must do to promote their tem- poral happiness. Let the good work go ou. The laymen are thanking who ever the by- stander 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 at- tendance. Many members of the 1900 Art Club attended the sessions and received new inspiration from what they saw and heard. The Grand Armory Hall hae beenengaged for the Federation next month and extensive preparations are being made to entertain the delegates, also to show them the many places of re ‘sort in and about the city. Senator Brown, the Adonis of Atch- ison spent Tuesday in Leavensworth, with friends. The senator says that he never misses a train, but ask him ifany 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, A certain man who runs a business house and keeps a telephone told Willa if she remained hore much longer he would have # bill against her for the use of his phone—she being so popular.

A LONG FELT WANT sUrriizp At 112 west 7 street, over the American Steam laundry a very swell club is being operated by the colored young wen of our city, with Henry Hatcher as steward, The boys are all working very hard, and should the efforts of Epp Love, Geo.

Kansas Criy, 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 Kans2s 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 fol- lowing is the gentlemen: G. G. Harmon, Henry Stauf, William Duck. ell, 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.
