IE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. --- A MOURNER'S BENCH For Repentent Populists—Chairman Albaugh Extends An Invitation for Them to Join the Republican Ranks. THE FIRST LADY OF KANSAS. Mrs. W. E. Stanley, the First to Adorn the New Mansion A Lady of Culture and Refinement. VOLUME III. A MOURNE For Repentent Populists—Ch Invitation for Them to J THE FIRST LA Mrs. W. E. Stanley, the First A Lady of Cultur In the Topeka Advocate, the official organ of the People's party of Kansas, under date of June 28, Mr. John Curran, secretary of the People's party state committee, makes public announcement, presumably acting for the said state committee, that on August 1 of this year the headquarters that his party has maintained in Topeka since the close of last year's campaign will be formally closed, and gives as his and the committee's reason for such action, the following: "These and many other signs show a movement of greater or less proportions toward the democratic party. The invitation of the democratic party to join their ranks is only a reiteration of many individual institutions, and there are many who clam it will be generally accepted. If the refusal of the democratic committee to adopt the 'union' idea is endorsed by their rank and file, there will be nothing left for those who insist on working with them but to join the democratic party. If it is the sentiment of a majority of the populists to join the democratic party, then, indeed, I have no business here." The above statement of Mr. Curran is generally accepted as a practical announcement by the people's party state committee that the organization has gone out of business and it might be well in this connection to quote from Mr. Geo. P. Locke, vice-chairman of the democratic state central committee of Kansas, and chairman of the organization committee of the democratic national committee. Mr. Locke says: "The last campaign demonstrated the fact that Kansas is back in the republican column, and back there to stay. It now has a majority that cannot be touched by any anti-combination that can be formed. When the democrats rejected the populist 'union' party scheme they did it for two reasons. One was, that fusion in any manner will no longer be tolerated by the democrats; and the other was in hope that the populists would have enough pride left to go ahead and keep up their separate organization as best they might." In speaking further of the democratic invitation to the populists to join the democrats, Mr. Locke says: "In inviting the populists into the democratic ranks we made the dose as bitter as possible, for we do not wont them in. If Kansas is to be a republican state, which there is not the least doubt, it will be for years to come, the fewer there are in the democratic party in case the national party should be successful, the better it is for those who are in it. We have not given up hope of a national success, and then those who remain true to the democratic faith in Ransas will have front seats at the pie counter. We are selfish enough not to want to divide up with any outside aggregation." A crisis has been reached with those who have labored to build up the people's party. The people's party state committee, through its secretary, Mr. Curran, practically advises that they join with the democracy. Yet, the determined stand taken by many populist county committees, and individual protests heard everywhere, in opposition to this proposed transfer for the democracy, proves conclusively that the rank and file of the organization will not acquiesce in this movement. Conditions not only in the country at large but particularly in Kansas, have changed very materially since the days when this organization was founded with so much enthusiasm and such promise of success. The very fact that the state committee representing the people's party now practically decides that the party's existence shall be brought to a close is evidence within itself strongly tending to the conclusion that conditions as they exist at present furnish no demands for the party. The action of the party's committee leaves nothing for the individual to do but to choose for himself the political road that he would travel in the future. He might begin again and from the foundation once more attempt to build up the people's party, but it would look like an impossible and fruitless task. Not deeming this feasible, it leaves him to do, notwhat Mr. Curran and the populist committee tell him, but that which he himself, after mature deliberation, believes to be best for his country's welfare and the individual prosperity of the people of this state If he sees in the history, experiences, accomplishments, principles and leadership of the democratic party more of promise of the future, it becomes his duty to ally himself with that organization, notwithstanding Mr. Locke's insistence upon the port of the democratic committee that he is not wanted; but if present conditions, past history, past accomplishments, present policies, present leadership and principles and future promises of republicanism afford better prospects for the material interests of our country and the prosperity of the individual ditizen, then it becomes his duty to ally himself with the republican organization. The growth and development of Kansas should be a matter of common concern. The greatest prosperity, both in the nation and the state, has been marked by republican rule. The policy of the democratic party has been one of obstruction and retrogression. Its platforms have been protests against "things accomplished" and not assurances "things to be done." In no two successive campaigns have they been consistent. Conservative citizens cannot but believe that the future growth and prosperity of the country will be safer under republican than democratic management. The republican party is not overcrowded. In its ranks there is room for every voter in Kansas. And to every populist who now finds himself without a home, left to chews as between democracy and republicanism a cordial and earnest invitation is extended to ally himself with the fortunes of the republican party. MORION ALBAUCH, Chairman, T. T. KELLY, Secretary, Rep. State Central Committee The First Lady of Kansas. At the last session of our legislature a liberal appropriation was made for the purpose of purchasing and properly furnishing a governor's mansion. After careful consideration of a large number of sites, the magnificent Bennett property located M. MRS. W. E. STANLEY. on Eighth Ave. and Buchanan St. was purchased, and has been refurnished in a handsome manner. This handsome residence was orig- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 12, 1:01. THE STATE FEDERATION OF ART CLUBS inally built for one of Kansas wealthy horse dealers and cost $70,000. The rooms are all elegantly furnished and decorated. It is especially fitting that this beautiful mansion should recieve as its mistress, Mrs. W. E. Stanley, the cultured and refined wife of our present executive. Mrs. Stanley is a modest woman of strong character, a splendid support to the Governor. She gave personal attention to all the details of the furnishing of the Mansion and its present exquisite harmony is a tribute her taste. Mrs. Stanlea belongs to the class of woman, of whom Kansas is proud. With strongly developed domestic taste, she gives the best of her time to the rearing and educating of her children. As the first lady of Kansas, she is in every sense worthy the admiration and love her very estimable qualities have gained for. Kansans regardless of race are proud of their first lady. Returned from the Seat of War. Several of the boys of the 4th and 49th regiments have been must red out and stopped in Topeka this week. Among them are Clarence Langston, Earnest Jordan, Arthur Jeltz, Spot Ellis, J. D. Smith and T-J. Jordan. Direct from the Philippines Mr. Jordan furnishes us with some interesting matter regarding the natives, climate, and etc. He says that they are friendly toward the Negro, moreso than the whites and our boys seem better adapted to that climate than any other nationality. Sickness is very prevalent among the natives and whites but the boys say they faired well. Among the items worth notice is the gallant deeds of our boys abroad. At Bamboo Bridge on July 16 Corporal Kimball with eight men, of whom Mr. Jordan was one, stood off an army of one-hundred. We only wish we could relate all he told us but shall close by saying if every race has a flag but "the coon" the PLAINDEALER cheers F-Editor Plaindealer: T MAY not be appropriate, certainly cannot be amiss for a man removed from the scene of action where the work was actually accomplished, to say a few words relative to the merits of the work of the Federation as seen in Leavenworth. The questions were often asked before the meeting was held: "What is the Federation?" "What is it supposed to accomplish?" "What is it doing?" "Has it an object?" When the lower floor of Chickering Hall, large and commodious, was arranged in booths each ten feet square, and eighteen of these booths were filled with the handiwork of the various clubs, the work as displayed answered all of the above questions far better than I can. The work was a marvel to every man, white and colored that saw it. The colored men were never more agreeably surprised in their lives and certainly never prouder of their ladies. Such expressions as "It is wonderful, grand, magnificent, it can't be beaten," were heard on all sides. The white ladies and gentlemen that visited the booths, and there were about 200 to 300 each day were as free in their praise as were the colored people. They all admitted that it was the finest display of art work ever seen in Leavenworth, and those who are acquainted with the West, said it was the finest ever seen in this section. What did this annual session teach? It taught plainer than words and far more conclusive, that our ladies have the power to conceive, and the ability to execute the most difficult designs in which the shading and coloring cannot be excelled. If such wonders can be wrought in so short a time, what may we expect in a few years? We can look for and will have beautiful homes. Yes, homes in which everything is tidily, tastefully and artistically arranged, homes that will be a realization of that idea of the founders of the constitution that each man's home is his palace, for each will be a veritable palace. One purpose then of the Federation as enunciated by the booths—not by long winded speeches, nor longer resolutions, is to make our homes more beautiful, more enticing for the man without a county who fights the battles of the United States of America. Duke Grand Lodge Meeting. Grand Lodge meeting. The Grand Lodge of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor will convene in the city of Leavenworth this week. Sir Frank Wilson, chief Grand Mentor, the head of this noble order, deserve commendation for the manner in which he has successfully conducted the affairs of this institution. Also Daughter Emma Gaines, the Chief Preceptress, is doing much to upbuild the order. The popular Chief Grand Scribe Sir A. W. Hopkins is well fitted for the position he holds. All the records are neatly kept and one can find what is wanted without much annoyance. This order paid out something over $2000 for death benefit. The Ministerial Union and Afro-American Council convened in Lawrence, Kansas last week. Much good is promised from this meeting. IS THAT SOCIETY? Kirk Pinkston, the Fireman, Gives Some Sound Logic on society. Kirk Pinkston says that social society without the use of economy will always keep oppression in the ranks of the poor. To force you to live beyond the limits of your earnings would finally drift into criminal results. First, it causes mothers to neglect their households and children. Second, it causes fathers to embarass himself with obligation to borrow money to support the family. He fails to pay it, he looses his credit, he becomes fractions with his family, pulls up stakes and leaves the town. Thirdly, it causes young men and women to lose their positions by asking to be absent from duty more than once a week. Fourth, what we call society mau is one who works for $3.50 per week and places fit for the gods. The peculiarity of the annual meeting here was the talking of the booths, the silent work as it hung upon the walls spoke to the thousands of visitors and convinced them that our ladies had determined to make our homes as beautiful as any in the land. Again, those same booths preached another sermon as powerful as some of old which told the people that our ladies are engaged in a grand missionary work of making a new and a better manhood of our men by educating them to have an eye for the beautiful, a taste for the refined and to be more aesthetic in their natures. This in itself is a sufficient purpose for the existence of the Federation, and one towards which every energy should be placed. Living as we do in a land and as an age in which the dollar is almighty, allwise and all powerful, we were taught by those same booths that art work from a commercial standpoint, from a dollar and cents view of the subject is a great and profitable field upon which our ladies may enter and be amply repaid for the time and labor spent. Hanging on the walls were pieces of work each of which was worth from five to fifty dollars. Had the ladies desired to sell the work thousands of dollars worth could have been sold here as so many visitors, those that knew the value and had the cash to buy desired to purchase pieces. The meetings of the Federation in G. A. R. Hall were largely attended, and consisted of well rendered programs. Here too the pivotal idea—the betterment of our people was apparent always and was discussed by those who were doing something and who were trying to to lay a foundation upon which to build a race. This meeting was so different from the usual meetings held by our people. In the first place it was composed of those who were doing something. Their motto was "All Doers are Welcome." The Federation is composed of little workers. While this is true of this meeting of the ladies I am forcibly reminded of the fact that the meetings held by us men are invariably composed of "big talkers," "great jaw workers" and that each of us has his individual ax to grind. But, here was a meeting of ladies who with three change suits composed of hat, $4.00, shoes, $5.00, trousers $6.00 coat and vest, $15.00, shirt or shirt-waist, $2.00, cigar, 10 cents, without street car fare in his pocket. This makes his bill $2.10 and three suits would be $6.00 from his years salary which is $180.00, leaving him $73.70 to pay his board, washing, room or house rent. He pays a visit to the society bell, finds her in a rented house with a $300.00 piano on payment, her house decorated with palms and lillies and her poor old widowed mother running a machine or in the back yard washing to keep her daughter in society with $3.50 per week. Gentlemen, perseverance is the first laws of nature. Think more of your interest, work and save your money and raise your children the fruits of economy by setting example. Garnett. Mrs. J. B.

The Leaventworth Meeting as Viewed By a Man x x x had no aes to grind, none of them were trying to convince any party of their greatness, none were looking for jobs. The central idea of each session was to make a race of our people that would stand upon a higher moral and intellectual plane. The men should learn this lesson too from the ladies. God grant that we may yet live to see the day when the men can meet for the betterment of the race and that our meetings will be held for the same purposes as the ladies, and not to boost some fellow into office, not to show some political party how great some of us think we are. This meeting of the ladies was filled with ideas which the men should emulate. To attend a meeting in which the real advancement of our people is the motive, is such an unusual thing that I cannot fail to comment on it. The great majority of meetings held by the men in Kansas, have been for the sole purpose of advancing some man, or some men into political favor and the majority of the delegates were simply plastic tools in the hands of the schemers. If I read the signs aright a new era is about to dawn on Kansas, an era in which the talkers; those whose stock in trade is talk, talk will be relegated to the rear and those who are actually doers will be advanced to the front, and the ladies will be the pioneers in this movement. For over thirty years the ladies have waited for the men to show some real, tangible, practical results from their numerous meetings but none were shown. Now the ladies have mapped out the way. Each individual lady in each of the clubs deserves praise, for the annual meeting was the result of the efforts of each. Especial praise is due Mrs. Washington through whose untiring efforts the Federation has become a permanent institution in Kansas. May the Feberation grow and broaden until its influences permeates every avenue of our life and until its fruits are apparent in every home in Kansas. Yours for those that are doing something for the advancement of our people. B. K. Bruce. WHY NOT RAISE ALL Salaries?—The Council Can Afford to Add a Little to the Working Man's Income. NEGRO BUSINESS MEN'S LEAGUE To Meet in Chicago—Kansas Negroes Should Elect Delegates to the Convention—League Growing in Number. Raising Salaries. The city council has decided to raise the salaries of a few of its officers. This is due, undoubtedly, to the gigantic ware of prosperity now sweeping over Kansas. Topeka is a model city and its faithful servants should be well paid for the services rendered. We have no particular objection, to raising the Mayor and Counsilmen's salaries, but we believe that the salaries of all city employees should recieve the benefit of this unbounded prosperity. No department of this city treats it employees in a more left-handed manner than does our police Department. Here are men, subjected to the most scathing criticisms, compelled by their positions to care for the peace and morals of the city recieve less pay than like employees of any similar city in this country. These men are obliged to be out in all kinds of weather and to constantly jeopardize their lives for the protection of nur city from thieves, and things recieving practically no consideration from the Council. From their meagre salaries they are required to furnish their clothing and to conform to a set of regulations as exacting as the discipline of our regular army. In no city of the size and wealth of Topeka is the patrol driver compelled to serve twenty-four hours without relief. This city hss reached the point in its development when a relief driver for the patrol wagon is an imperative necessity, and the driver paid a salary commensurate with the arduous duties required of him. Let the city council pay the police department fair wages, and on a graduated scale determined by the length of service and the efficiency of the officer. This department, in order to secure to the citizens of Topeka, the very best service, should be removed as far as possible from the influences and caprices of politics. Then too, this city council might carry the good work of increasing salaries a little further and add ten or fifteen cents a day to the pay of the men who labor, that Topeka may have the cleanest streets of any city west of the Mississippi river. This will place money where it will do much good, and where it is much needed. The laborers who carry shovels will derive more comfort such a policies than others who have recently vated a few dollars into their own pockets. The council is made up of business men with whom the city employers spend the major portion of their earning. Let this wave of prosperity strike all classes. Negro Business Men. The second annual session of the National Negro Business League will be held in the city of Chicago on the 21, 22 and 23 of August. It is urgently requested that all states have state organization hold meetings at once and select delegates for this meeting. States where there are no leagues are requested to organize and have representatives in this gathering. There will be no objection raised against any Negro engaged in a legitimate business participating in this meeting. It is strongly urged that local business men organize local leagues in every part of the country and keep in close touch with the work of the national league. These organizations should have for their object the promotion of the business interest of out people. The result of the meeting at Boston last year is seen in the increase number of Negro business men, and the deeper interest manifested by all our people in matters pertaining to it. Kansas has, in proportion to its population and wealth, more Negroes engaged in legitimate business pursuits than any other state. It is NUMBER 28 RAISE ALL A Afford to Add a Little to Man's Income. S MEN'S LEAGUE Negroes Should Elect Delegates League Growing in Number. doing as much if not more to give employment to its people than any other state. We have more Negroes engaged in lucrative business, is such as farming, truck gardening, etc., than any other state. The largest potatoe grower in the west is a Negro and his potatoe farm is one of the finest in Kansas. Down in Holgeman, Stafford and Rice counties will be found some of the largest wheat growers of Kansas. Negroes who come to Kansas, and eschew politics, devoting their time and attention to the industries are meeting with merited success. During the past year a number of small business houses have been opened in our larger cities, and they are receiving a good share of public patronage. What the National league wants is an exhibit from these people at Chicago in August. To make a proper and credible display of the business development of the Negroes of Kansas, it will be necessary for the Negroes of this state to act at once. Let us have meetings in all places convenient for our people. Let our people spend some time in interesting the Negroes of the cities of the East and South in glorious opportunities for making money on the farms of the West-Kansas farms are especially productive and can be purchased on terms to suit. The president of the Topeka Business League has called a meeting to be held at 429 Kansas Ave. on Tuesday evening, July 16 and all our business men should be out. The colored people of Maryland have taken a wise step in organizing themselves into a body for the purpose of establishing an industrial school for the colored youths of that state. This school is to be conducted on the plan of the school at Tuskegee, Ala. At the head of the movement are some of the leading colored men of the state as well as the country. Dr. Ernest Lyon, who is the moving spirit has given the idea careful study. He has secured the endorsement of the leading white and colored men of the state and already a site comprising about eighty-five acres of ground has been secured and the movement is on a fair way to success. That the idea of industrial education is growing goes without saying. Intelligent Afro-Americans everywhere are learning that they must depend upon themselves and that the shortest way to ascend the heights is to master the basic occupations. Dr. Lyons and his associates have the cooperation of the whole people of Maryland. The movement is a good one. It is both practical and feasible and is in the hands of men who are not quitters but who will push matters until their efforts are crowned with success. The Negro Bank. The failure of a white bank in Richmond, Va. last week entailed heavy losses on the colored people of that city. They are not to be pitted since the strongest bank in Richmond is owned and operated by colored people. This same bank—the True Reformers Bank—loaned the city of Richmond during the panic, sufficient money to tide it over. The white banks could not spare the money. Kansas will have a Negro magazine soon. It will be issued monthly. The spirit of the South is very clearly seen in the action of those states demanding the disfranchisement of the Negro. Kansas Negro farmers, merchants, and mechanics should manifest deep interest in the coming National Conference of Negro business men at Chicago in August. We call especial attention to the contribution of Mr. B. K. Bruce on the work of the Women's Federation. It is a clear statement of their work as seen by a man competent to pass upon it. It will now be necessary for Councilman Nichols to go after the drivers of the People's Ice wagons Their insolence may be something paid for by Manager Dickey. With Troutman, Nichols, and Bergunthal in the council the peoples interests are being looked after with a vengeance. Keep the work going. Senator Burton sent the names of L. S. Crum for United States Marshall and B, H. Tracy for United States District Attorney, to Washington last week. The establishment of civil rule in the Philipine Islands on the Fourth of July will be followed by the sending of thousands of teachers into the Islands by our government for the purpose of bringing about that kind of civilization impossible to be achieved by the sword. It would be but fair that our people be given an opportunity to teach in the islands. Let the Negroes prepare themselves that they may fill these positions. Then ask for a share of them. The resignation of Assistant County Attorney Olis Hungate has been accepted by County Attorney Nichols and Mr. J. R. McNary appointed to fill the place. THE PLAINDEALER is very muce surprised thatDeputy Attorney, W. I. Jamison should not have been given first place. Mr. Jamison is splendidly equipped for position. His service as second assistant has been of a high order and as a matter of fairness. Mr. Jamison should have recieved the promotion. He possesses exceptional legal ability and would have administered the duties of this position with honor and credit. The power of the press is seen in the gallant and successful fight against the Topeka Ice Trust. Topekeans should be proud of the work of her dailies. The good people of Philadelphia needs the services of our outspoken papers in their fight against the indecent haste manifested by its city government in giving away franchises worth millions of dollars to political cliques. Public press need have no fears about receiving the full and hearty supp of the people, so long as they stand for what is right. The remarkable success of old Kansas Ladies in affecting a strong state federation aught to convince the women of Kansas that there is no disposition on their part to occupy a back seat in the white federations. THE PLAINDEALER is certainly proud of the ability of our women to get together and do business. In the two short years that the federation has been organized, one can see more charity, more sisterly affection, more deep interest one in another, manifested than before. It is these little things that go to make up life, our women, lending a helping hand to one another, are laying a foundation for that strength of character in the future generation, that is so much lacking in this day. Since the opening of July a number of our soldier boys from the Phillipine Islands have been shaking hands with friends about the city. The Negroes of America are to be congratulated for the soldierly services of these two regiments. When the Spanish-America war was opened, this country looked dubuously upon the employment of Negro troops and officers. It was only in a fragmentary way that Negro volunteer soldiers were given a place in the nations service. Then only a few states sent them forth in c.^rge of Negro officers. In the Philippine served the Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth, with company officers Negroes, have rendered splendid service. The same reports come to us from the Phillipines that came from Cuba. Spread of American race prejudice. We understand that some of the white troops in veiw of the apparent friendliness of the natives, lost no time in preaching the American gospel of social damnation. However the conduct of the American Negro soldiers was always brave, and manly. Their deportment went far to refute and destroy the stories circulated by white soldiers. ...CHEAP...

IT is always the idle and shiftless Negro who causes the trouble, for which the whole race is blamed. Parents should see that their boys work during the summer vacation. Habits of industry acquired while young, will prove benificial for all time to come. FOR the first time in the history of Southern lynch law, an officer of the law has carried out the oath of his office at all hazards. This heroic officer is Joseph Merrill, sheriff of Carrollton, Ga. who in upholding the dignity of the law caused the death of one man and the serious injury of two other men. A Negro criminal was about to be lynched. He was in charge of Sheriff Merrill whose duty it was to protect him from violence. This the sheriff did even at the peril of his own life and the life of others. If all the officers of the law would emulate the official force and character of this man then lynching would soon be a thing of the past. The Catholic Church and the Negro. From The Colored American. WHATEVER one may think about the Negro forming a political alliance with the Roman Chtholic church, the black man may learn much from the solidarity of that massive institution, and study with profit the practical manifestation of its ministry. The Catholic church looks after the education of its people, and is particularly zealous in safeguarding the virtue of its girls. No one is ever turned away empty-handed from a Catholic institution nor is counsel denied the lowest sinner. Let a calloused murderer, whom Protestants have given up as irredeemable, refuse spiritual consolation, the Catholic priest is found watching and praying to the end. The terrors of the leprosy and the hardships of new countries are patiently endured, and color has no influence to lessen their regard for their plain duty. In the time of riots, like that of Wilmington, the Negro's haven of safety has more than once been the shelter of a Catholic roof. The black man may form no political or other alliance with his church, but when powerful agencies for protection are to be sought the world-wide power of the Catholic Church is not to be lightly sneered at.

ON behalf of the disfranchise- ment of the Negro because of his color nothing can be fairly urged either in morals or in law. Much can be said in favor of an educational test, but it should apply to whites as well as blacks. The vote of an ignorant white man is quite as injurious as that of a black one equally ignorant, and generally it is less excusable, for, as a rule, white men have had better educational oppo- tunities.----Washington Daily Times Democrat. The above editorial paragraph expresses the settled principle and theory of our government. Everybody knows that the restriction of the suffrage in the Southern states is to get rid of the colored people as voters because they have chosen to vote the Republican ticket and because of the old race prejudice born of slavery. Were it not for the obstacle placed in the way by the XV Amendment, the remodeling of the Southern states; constitution would be an easy task by limiting the suffrage to white people only. It is singular that these States which now require the highest standards for citizenship and the right to vote are the way states whose past history, law and usages are responsible for the poverty and illiteracy so prevalent in the South, where the education of the masses of both white and black have always been discouraged. THE Atlanta Constitution appears to be afraid that an educational qualification to vote would work in favor of the blacks as against the whites as the former are making more sacrifices to educate their children than the latter. This admission is an important concession and coming from the Constitution it makes us blink. The intense struggle for existence is no respector of persons, as our Mr Fortune said in: "Black and White", in 1887, which made the Constitution blue in the gums at that time The poor white man of the South is no equal to the poor black man in hustling a living out of the situation; he was not before the war. He does not make the sacrifice that the black man makes to educate his children and he drinks more rum and does more lawless mob work than any other element in the South. RY. E.

HEARICK CARRIAGE CO., 812 Kassas Ave. 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 frauds 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, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale in 1575, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough investigation of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true. This was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cause the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair of people who are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal hair to do harm from an good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on our hair. Go be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics.

The Inter-denominational Ministerial Alliance and State League met in joint session at Warren street church. Wednesday, July 3, 1901, Dr. Hudson of Atchison, Kansas, presiding. The call for the meeting was read by Secretary Roundtree of Topeka, Kansas. The burning of Fred Alexander of Leavenworth was next discussed and means of bringing the guilty parties to justice in this outrageous affair were devised. In the prosecution of this case the only thing needed is money. As much has been done as can be until more funds are raised. This should be done at the earliest possible moment. Lawyer A. M. Thomas of Topeka was present at this meeting and strongly urged that each one respond liberally to the call for funds to further prosecute this case. One of the principal features of the meeting was the adoption of strong anti-lynch proceedings. The idea that black men should be so brutally assaulted on the slightest provocation and without any positive evidence against them is preposterous, and the time has arrived when the negro must take a firm stand in defense of his life, his honor and his home. Rev. Alexander, father of the late Fred Alexander, was the next speaker and his forcible denunciation of the punishment shown his son, as well as that meted out to many other negroes in this country, won the sympathy of all present. Since woman is found to be indispensable to the success of any important movement in the progress of the negro race, and realizing that her wise and judicious council is ever worthy of consideration, the joint council agreed to bring her into closer touch with its proceedings and to make her voice heard in the future proceedings in the Alexander case. This means that something has to be done, for it would be impossible for this matter to remain as it is now, when the energies of some of the most brillians negro women of Kansas are bent toward its further prosecutions. A vote of thanks was tendered the pastor and members of Warren street church for the hospitality shown them during the meeting. After a brief address by the chairman the meeting was declared adjourned.

Mrs. Melissa Simpson who departed this life July 3. 1901. Was a native of Logan county, Kentucky where she was born 84 years ago. She left Kentucky at the age of 16 and as a slave was sold to W. H.

We have not the space to enter all the touching tributes that have been paid to her as a mother, a wife and a Christians but will mention one most touching testimonial of Mr. Petefish one of the oldest settlers of Clinton township who says, using his own language, that thirty five years ago she entered his employ as a farm hand and burdened with a large family, and that there was never a part of the work she could not do from making rails down to the smallest item of housekeeping. She was a woman of an acquiring disposition and besides maintaining her large family and her charitable work, died leaving between six or seven thousand dollars which she, herself, had accumulated.
