A Credit to Kansas. The closing exercises of the Industrial Institute, the pioneer trade school for the colored youth of the state and West, began Sunday after noon, May 18th, at which time the following program was rendered: Selection ..... Institute Brass Band Song ..... Institute Chorus Scripture Lesson ..... Rev. G. W. Guy Sung ..... Institute Chorus Invocation ..... Rev. J. D. Knox Plantation Melody ..... Institute Chorus Baccalaureate Sermon ..... Rev. W. F. Helm. Plantation Melody ..... Institute Chorus Address ..... Governor W. E. Stanley, Selection ..... Institute Brass Band In speaking of the exercises the Topeka Daily Herald of Monday 52 51 THE SCHOOL evening says: "The program as announced was carried out, and in addition to this the Shiloh Baptist Choir sang two selections. The Institute band consists of about fifteen pieces and the chorus consists of about a dozen voices, and both furnished very creditable music. Governor Stanley's address was rather short and was devoted almost entirely to discussing the outlook of the educational institutions of the country, whether for white or black. He finds that while the world long since reached her best in art, in poetry and in literature, that she is only just coming to her best in education and that the highest will not have been reached until the masses and not the masters possess the wisdom of the schools. The Governor spoke very encouragingly of the industrial work here. He said that he noted with much pleasure the great increase in the number of students present, and the interest on the part of the colored people. He urged every parent to give their children the education that makes the child not only a good tradesman or mechanic but also a law-abiding, progressive citizen. "Rev. W. E. Heim in his baccalaureate sermon pointed the class along the starry road to glory telling them to get out into the world and do things, that is what they have their education for. "The members of the graduating class are Katie D. Link and George T.

After the exercises the visitor was 1 TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 30 1902. ```markdown ``` shown through the various departments of the Institute where the handiwork of the students was on display. In the Academic department, exhibits of the work in primary studies, grammar, botany, freehand drawing and painting in water colors were carefully inspected. He was then ushered into the room containing the exhibits from the garden; shown how the theory is taught in the class room, and how well from the large, fresh bunches of onions, radishes, lettuce, spinach, etc., the boys and girls carry out in the garden their knowledge thus received. Practice work is given in growing peas, cabbages, beans, corn, melons, cucumbers, and tomatoes, enriching the soil, disease of plants, weeding, destroying insects, care of cow, hogs and horse. The products of the students' gardens, besides supplying the table, sell readily in the city markets. The visitor was then shown how girls are taught washing and ironing handkerchiefs, sheets, napkins, tablecloths, etc., under clothes, shirtwaists, white dresses, shirts, collars and cuffs and fine silks. He was then taken to the Domestic Science department where the girls are taught the making of fires, care of stove and fire, cooking of cereals, eggs, breads, puddings, pies, cakes, cookies, meats and dressings, table decorations, dishing and serving of foods, economy and hygiene in cooking; also, in this department girls learn how to care for the house, the lamp, how to sweep and dust properly, cleaning furnitre, economy in space, ventilation and bedroom health requisites. The visitor was then directed to A the Dressmaking department where the girls are first taught the plain stitches, making of hand bags, towels, aprons, napkins, sheets, pillow cases, underwear, skirts, shirts, wrappers, waists, dresses, fancy needle work and drafting of dress patterns. Quite a large amount of work was on display in this as well as in the other departments. Leaving here they entered Industrial Hall, the boys' trades building. In the Carpenter and Paint shops he saw how the boys are taught the use of the tools. making of boxes, tool chests, benches, laundry tables; center tables, wash stands, bureaus, wardrobes, lady's writing desk, office desk, a large glass-front cabinet for tailor shop, store building, miniature dwelling house, painting and varnishing, house repairing and fence building. From here they visited the tailor shop where they saw the work of the students, after they have learned the care of the shop and the position of sitting on the board, in common and fancy stitches, button holes, buckle straps, hip pockets, side pockets, cleaning and pressing, dyeing and running machine, over-all making, boys' pants making, men's pants, coats and vests, overcoats, ladies' tailor-made jackets and drafting of patterns. In the Printing department the visitor saw how the boys, after learning the care of the shop, were taught to set and distribute type, run the printing press, to print and bind the monthly school paper, THE WESTERN CORRELATOR, to print letter heads, programs, invitations, tickets, calling cards, and envelopes; thinking out and making up ads., work on school catalogue, Graduates' certificates, work in color and bronze. Girls' printing class. The visitor was then conducted upstairs to the Business Course department where young men and women are taught the Ben Pittman System of Shorthand and "Touch" Typewriting, and Bookkeeping and Business practice. They were shown the workings of the "Touch" system on the Remington Typcwriter, how the students begin by writing words of two letters; then three letters, etc., numbers, small phrases, sentences, business letters, addressing letters and how to properly stamp them, carbon manifolding, postal cards, narrow paper letters, telegrams, essays, marginal documents, extra length letters, legal matter, consisting of deeds, wills, mortgages, franchises, etc., copying, folding and covering the same, dictated matter. In Bookkeeping and Business Practice, the student conducts a business for himself, with Day book, Journal and Ledger; fills out, enters and files away, all necessary blanks, as statements, receipts, checks, invoices drafts, bills, vouchers, etc. Practica business transactions, trial balances and closing of books. The visitor then passed to the Musical department where the Brass band receives instruction in reading music, playing instruments, harmony and band music, also where the piano instruction is given, and vocal work in chorus, and solo, duet and quartette singing. They were then shown through Sheffield Cottage-the dormitory for boys and the gentlemen teachers, also through the girl's dormitory in the main building, and # they saw neat, tidy and well kept rooms, In the evening a reception to the graduates, students and teachers was given. Conversation and music made the evening a very pleasant one. Light refreshments were prepared and served by the girls in the Domestic Science department. The work this year has been exceedingly gratifying to the Board of Trustees and to the friends who are interested in the growth of the school. No longer is the school a mere local institution; students have attended from fifteen counties in Kansas. Oklahoma and Colorado have also been represented. Good records have been made by all the students, both in their trades and regular school work. What these boys and girls have been able to do, many other earnest boys and girls can do. School will begin Sept. 9th. It is hoped that every person interested in the advancement of the colored boys and girls will assist some one to attend this school next fall. A Talented Negro Actress. A recent issue of the Kansas City, Mo., Journal says: "Miss Victoria E. Overall, the Negro actress, who gave a successful production of 'Caprice' at the Century theater last week, is a teacher in the Sumner school. Miss Overall has long been identified in the theatrical work among her people in this city. Most all of the large entertainments given for the Negro churches have been under her charge. She has gathered about her young people whom she has trained to assist her in the plays she has given. She has produced 'East Lynne,' at the Gillis; Fanchon, the Cricket,' at the Coates; and 'Lady of Lyons,' at the Auditorium theater. In the 'Thirty Years of Freedom,' she gave three scenes from plays, taking a prominent part in a scene from 'Richelieu,' "In producing Minnie Madern Fiske's great play, 'Caprice,' Miss Overall was ably assisted by Richard B Harrison. of Chicago, one of the foremost Negro elocutionists of America. Miss Overall and Mr Harrison have received a number of flattering offers for next season." Miss Overall was presented with a huge bouquet of beautiful roses by white friends in a box party, Thursday, the first night of play. A large cultured and appreciative audience was present. In Womans World In opening this department, which we sincerely hope to make permanent and beneficial, THE PLAINDEALER acknowledges a tardy recognition of the sterling virtues and the great work of our women. The women of no other race are striving more earnestly and unselfishly for the moral and intellectual uplift of their brothers and sisters, than are the hundreds and thousands of Negro women. They seen to recognize their mission in life, whether they be the weary, poorly paid and ill fed washwoman or one in the higher walks of life. The mission of our women is the creation of a home life out of which will come a manhood and a womanhood fully capable of sustaining the demands of our modern civilization. In opening this department we The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

The background is indistinct, but it seems to be an outdoor setting with some light and shadow. desire it to be the forum of our women. A place for them to exchange ideas of mutual benefit and improvement. There is no greater work than the solution of their part of the race's problem of coming "up the plain of man's incline." The Negro women of Kansas have contributed no small amount of the sum total of the race's material and moral advancement. They have been, and are, the mainstay of our churches, and the center of our religious development. They are the most potent influence in the development of social and intellectual life through the medium of their self-culture clubs. The sudden prominence of art clubs in addition to the old time literary and reading clubs, indicates an awakening of the masses of our women to the realization of the importance of the home. This is but one of the blind gropings of a waking womanhood to the need of an accurate knowledge of social science and domestic culture. Club Organization is "Die Zeltgist. It is the spirit of the age. It is the all absorbing issue in womandom. Is there any reason it should not take on the ebon hue and appear in public for the edification of the many and the delight of the few. But, then, how many of our women's clubs have a definite purpose in view. How many of them go beneath the surface of "a three or four course luncheon," and put thoughts and ideas in the minds of our women, that when they go to their several homes, they will carry into them ideas which will make home brighter SIZES THINGS UP CORRECTLY WASHINGTON, D. C., May 24.—In a recent issue of THE PLAINDEALER Rev. W. L. Grant gives the Negro voters of Kansas some very timely and wholesome advice. He has about sized up the situation in the state, so far as it particularly affects the Negro. His letter also recalls to memory a recent interesting contribution to The Daily Capital, in which was advocated a new leadership for the Kansas Negro. There are other prominent Negroes of the state who have expressed the same views as Rev. Grant. Since so many agree, why not act at once? There is no division of sentiment on the need of an organization. It should not be formed for the sole purpose of supporting this or that party for the sake of party, but it should be a civil organization, which will advise the bulk of Kansas Negroes when advice is needed, without regard to Democracy or Republicanism. At this juncture, however, and under the present conditions the Ne- B THE BAKERY A CLASS IN COOKING. gro must be and is a Republican. Consistently he could not be otherwise Locally this might not be the case always, but for the present and no doubt for several years to come, the Democratic party must not be supported by the Negro voters, for reasons which Senator Tillman has repeatedly set forth in the United States Senate. Since it is a reasonable and conclusive fact that we should support the Republican party, we should by legitimate understanding, be recognized by the Republican organization. Because we must support the party, is no reason why the party should ignore our claims for recognition, rather on the other hand, by natural laws of right, the party should be willing to reward our support. It is quite clear to every Negro voter in the state that there are certain forces within the Republican party which are bitterly opposed to his political preferment. What are the Negroes of Kansas doing to defeat these forces? It would be exceedingly unwise and fruitless to attempt "o accomplish this end by supporting the Democratic party. For if there is any issue upon which that party is unamimously united it is to absolutely eliminate the Negro from politics in this country. We have nothing to hope for from that quarter. If we are entitled to and want better recognition from the Republican party we must get ourselves in shape to demand it. At the primaries and in the county and state conventions are the places for the Negro voter of Kansas to defeat the forces that e n. o t i n e w. s w e s e n, r a l e m ter ```markdown ``` A SECTION OF THE TAILOR SHOP. ampled Under Foot!

There is never a lack of candidates for any position within the gift of the people and it ought not be difficult to choose between the friend and the hypocrite However, efforts along this line to be effective must be organized The power of organization is great. Every race and element, except the Negro, appreciates the importance of organization. If all the Negro forces in Kansas would get together they would be a distinct factor, not only in the political life of the state but of the nation. Any party will heed THE FIRST WORLD FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP the voice of impenetrable organization when such a body is sincere and immovable. The Republican party in Kansas has been more kindly disposed to give political recognition to the Negro voter than in any other state North of Mason and Dixon's line. It has failed to give us what we were entitled to, in most instances, be cause of factional fights in our ranks. There are political factions everywhere and always will be, but the Negro as a class, ostracised and disliked, a victim of the strongest race prejudice, is so situated that he can least of all afford to be divided. As Prof. Watkins says, "we need a leader." I do not recall that we have followed a leader in the past fifteen years. It is to the credit of some that they have made efforts in that direction but failed. I believe it an easy matter to name a dozen men in the state capable of wearing the mantle of leadership, but cannot say that it is so easy to name one whom the rest would earnestly follow. It will be admitted that the Negro voters of Kansas were an important factor in wheeling the state back into the Republican column, and hence they are justly entitled to federal recognition. I believe that if the leading Negroes of the state had agreed upon a man for a federal office when this administration came into power, he would have bee appointed. Therein lay the secret of Crossland's success. His forces Continued on Page 4 . NUMBER 22. published at Topeka, Shawnee county, KK, every Friday morning by the Plantaleal Publishing Co., 114 E.

EDITORIAL COMMENT The Value of Industrial Training Just now much attention is directed to a discussion of the value of industrial training schools to our race. Kansas has two schools devoted to the industrial training of Negro youths. The Topeka Industrial school, for Negro youths, and the Western College at Quindaro, have just closed a years work. Both have turned out graduates, and their commencement exercises have attracted large crowds. Their work justly merits the many complimentary notices received. In the face of the definite results, in the way of graduates, there comes more or less criticism as to the value of these schools to our people. No one, will however, question the intrinsic value of trade to any one, whether the individual intends to follow the livelihood or not. A trade of any kind forms the basis of living. A man or woman with a trade has the first and surest means to independence. It has been found that idleness is one of the sources from which the world recruits its large army of criminals. It has also been found that men having trades constitute the least number of inmates of our jails and penetentiaries. The value of industrial traiining such as our boys and girls are receiving in the various industrial schools is inestimable. With our people these schools must take the place of the apprentice system in vogue among whites, from which we are debarred. The man who has a trade, be it ever so humble, has learned to think. He has learned to think logically and coherently. And they who can reason logically seldom commit crime. If these schools do no more than this they are doing a great work for the race, worthy of our honest and enthusiastic support. Making a Record Superintendent Carter of the Topeka Industrial school is making a splendid record. Coming to this city, practically an unknown man, and placed at the head of school almost gone by the board, the record of his work for the past year speaks volumes for his executive capacity. He has succeeded in impressing the people of the community of his honesty, sincerity, and his patriotic devotion to the uplifting of his race. No movement in late years has contributed so much to realization on the part of all people of the moral and material advancements of our people, as has his Sunday afternoon mass meeting of Negroes, when for an hour, earnest men and women discuss means and methods of bettering this city, and at the same time promote der A. Reeves and then some. Now who will be the Moses? A mighty hard question. After all things are said and done, the individual's view of the Negro is purely a local one, aside from the inherent race prejudice. Prejudice against the Negro is due largely to the ignorance of the white people. The "coming up" of these Sons of Ham will bear close inspection. It is not to be expected that the changing of the chattel to the citizen should not be accompanied by more or less petty criminalities, the logical consequence of slavery. The thoughtlessness, indolence and untrustworthiness is rapidly giving way to a busy class of Negroes, who are raping at the doors of all our public institutions and private enterprises, asking not for alms, but for a man's chance in the battle of life. They are not only asking, but are beginning to seriously consider the means of providing labor for the increasing thousands of skillful black hands. At the Republican State Convention, held at Wichita on Wednesday of this week, our race was represented by 28 delegates. The following is the ticket as nominated: For Justices of Supreme Court, J. C.

This is not news to those who are close readers of his most excellent paper the New York Age. But at the same time, it is a little unusual for our "fiery" friend to "nail his flag to the mast-head" so early in the game. It looks as though Timothy had been supplied with a new stack of "chips" and proposed to either freeze out or bluff the hands of the other boys down East. Brother Fortune now becomes the original Roosevelt man, and we opine that our next view of the shaggy headed lion of Manhattan Isle, he will have on a rough rider's costume and "nose glasses" without braces. Fortune has declared for Roosevelt for President in 1904, all because he dined with Booker T. Washington. Selah. Wanted-a leader Paul Bray, our talented Washington correspondent takes up the lack of leadership of the Kansas Negro in this issue. This has been a topic of discussion in this state among Negroes, ever since the exodusters of 1878 received handouts from the North Topeka Barracks. Our people in Kansas are the exception. They are all leaders. A lot of fellows have gone up against this proposition and gone down to an untimely political death like the Assyrians of old "before the breath of the Lord." A catalogue of Kansas Negro leaders would include such illustrious names as Bill Eagleson, C. H. J. Taylor, B. K. Bruce, W. B. Townsend, J. H. Stuart, Col. James Beck, MaJ. John Brown, E. P. Mc Cabe, and John Walker. In this day and generation the Negroes of Kansas conjure by the names of William T. Vernon, Paul Jones, John M. Wright, W. I. Jamison, W. H. Hudson, Maj. George W.

Negro women will be up for the purpose of rendering more effective this splendid organization. There is a world of work to be done and much of it can be initiated at this meeting, if the scramble for offices be made secondary. One important question which we take the liberty of suggesting for the consideration of our women is the proper and thorough education of our boys and girls. Thousands of Negro children are wandering the streets, who should be in the public schools. The bringing up of children and their education is a serious problem.

This is but one of the many questions of deep interest to our women. The Color Line Question. The color line question has been settled by the National Federation of Women's Clubs, in its recent meeting at Los Angeles. By its creation of a gantlet of examining boards, which the Negro applicants must run, the presence of a Negro delegate to plead the righteousness of their cause before this modern Agrippa is not to be until God in his own good time sees fit to bring educated women to a plain above race prejudice. But for all this, discouraging as it may seem, the Negro woman is struggling honestly with the problem of right living. The Ladies' Imperial Art Club, of Topeka, has added to its work the study of current literature. At its recent meeting with Mrs. H. W, Dillard, "The Benefit of Women's Clubs", from the March number of the Ladies Home Journal, was read, and evoked much discussion. The next meeting of the club will be with Mrs. J. M. Ferguson.

The Ladies Guild of St. Simon P. E. church met with Mrs. H. W. Dillard on Monday night. See E. S. Lee, the druggist, at 112 West Eighth street. Do not forget the Knight Templars entertainment for June 11th. The program will be something fine. Have you found something for your boy for the summer vacation? To know how to work is as important as an education. In fact it's a part of it and the biggest. SOMETHING GOOD. It was a large and appreciative audience that gathered to h-ar Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, the renowned race elocutionist and Mr. Albert Young, the impersonator and balladist at the Shiloh Baptist church on Monday night. A This was the first appearance of this notable pair in Topeka and their program was much enjoyed. Miss Davis needs no praise from this paper. Her long career as a dramatic reader has established her reputation. Much interest was attracted to Mr. J. B. MR. ALBERT YOUNG Young. He is a Kansas product, his home being at Lawrence. His work was of a hibgh order and merited the praise received. They will be in Topeka again and iwill receive as hearty welcome. The program Monday was varied by local talent. Mrs. John D. Barker spent a few days in Kansas City, Mo., last week visiting friends. Mrs. Robert Rolling of Limon, Colo., is in the city visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. John L. Buckner. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Gaydon of Kansas City, Kansas, are the parents of a fine baby; born last week. Mrs. Gaydon was formerly Miss Ida May Patterson. Mr. Butler was found dead this morning in an out building at Fourth and Jackson. June weddings, we are told, will include a couple of popular West Eighth street society devotees—How entirely apropos. When you have a good job, stick to it. Do not quit just because they want you to work. That's what they pay you for. We know a prominent lady out in the west part of Topeka, who spends more time hanging out in the front yard swapping gossip with every passerby, who complains of her unpopularity. Gossiping and slandering your friends don't get you anything. It ruins our people. It's real funny. Just think how much preference we give to men and women of tarnished reputation. A man or a woman with a record will get a front seat. We can't afford to drop them you know.

Patterson and Mr. Artur Patterson, are among the graduates of the Topeka high school. We notice that the teachers of Parkdale school have been taking their pupils through the state capital to receive instructions in historical agricultural and other departments. We wonder if any of the colored teachers have taken their pupils? The "Elites" will dance at 118 West Eighth Friday, June 6.

He accompanies the graduates of the Naval academy, on board the battleship Indiana. As we missed the last week's issue of the Plaindealer, we take advantage of this week's issue to say a word about our Sacred concert, May 18. By chance falling into company with our esteemed friend, Hon. Mr. Childers, editor of this valuable God Send (the Plaindealer). He proposed a Sacred concert to which we consented and some three weeks before we made preparations, Mr. Childers prepared and delivered one of the best papers on the subject, "The Duty of Church Members to the Young People," that has ever been our privilege to hear. No church will act unwise to have Mr. Childers in their exercises. We have invited him back the third Sunday in June to take a part in another concert. Come on Mr. Childers and make yourself at home and be one of us. We will begin our new church building in about thirty days, and by September 1 we expect to hold our first services in it. I. S. WILSON. One of the most fashionable events that has occurred recently in Omaha society, was the marriage of Mr. Chas. Slaughter to Miss Elliza Bradshaw, of this city. The ceremony took place last Thursday at the residence of the bride's parents in the presence of a few near relatives and friends. Mr. and Mrs. Slaughter arrived in Topeka last Thursday and are at home to their many friends at their beautifully furnished cottage on East Seventh street. Friday evening, Mr. Slaughter's mother gave them a reception at her home 407 Monroe street. An Iowa paper in speaking of the Topeka boys who left recently with a show says: "The Lacey Vaudeville company have played at the opera house five nights to standing room, having turned people away the first three performances. The trombone solo by James Harris is the best we have ever heard, while Bryant the slack wire man and the Lacey's give the people a far better performance than companies of twice its size. They are a gentlemanly lot of boys, and will command respect wherever they go. The band though small in number, is one of the best that has visited this state, and are playing a good grade of muscle." Straightens Kinky, Curly Hair OZONO TRADE MARK KING OF ALL HAIR TONICS. 50¢ BEFORE. AFTER. BE WARNED In order to protect the public from the numerous quack nostrums now on the market, which claim to straighten and cause the hair to grow long, and which are simply put up by a lot of quacks, charlatans, and fakirs, who have no chemical skill, with the sole idea to get your hard-earned cash and give you nothing in return for your money but a dirty, sticky mass of worthless greases, which injure the hair and cause it to fall out, we have placed our trade-mark, granted to us by the Government of the United States of America, on every box of OZONO, King of all Hair-Growers and Hair-Straighteners. This trade-mark consists of two heads, as shown in this advertisement—one head showing short, curly hair, the other showing long, flowing hair. Any preparation showing the heads with the hair done up in a coll, or showing features different from the faces shown in this advertisement, is not OZONO. Seeing our marked success with the true hair-straightener, OZONO, King of all Hair-Growers, numerous firms are now widely advertising spurious compounds, and trading on the reputation that we have made for OZONO. Do not be fooled by these flaring advertisements, which are all promises. Buy the genuine and only original King of all Hair Tonics, OZONO. Two hundred and fifty thousand colored people bought OZONO in the last twelve months. OZONO is sold in every State in the Union, all over Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, also in Cuba and the West Indies. Its fame has travelled around the world, because it is a true Hair Tonic, that straightens without any outside assistance. No hot irons are used; nothing but OZONO. It not only straightens the hair, but produces a long, silky, beautiful, luxurious growth of soft, fine hair. To neglect your hair is more than foolish, when you can increase its beauty by a few applications of OZONO. We can send OZONO to any place that you may live in, no matter where you may live. The price of OZONO is 50c. a box, sent to any point on receipt of price. Four boxes is a complete treatment. In order to introduce this great Hair Tonic, we will send to you, on receipt of only $1.00, the following grand aggregation: Four boxes of OZONO; one bottle of ELECTRICAL SKIN REFINER, which softens rough skin and brightens black skin, making it several shades lighter, worth 50c.; also one bottle of ELECTRICAL SKIN FOOD, Nature's cure for all skin diseases, such as Pimples, Tan, Acne, Itch, Eczema, and Bollas.

The Industrial Institute is a lonesome place to what it was last week, school closed and the students having departed to their several homes over the state. Miss Minnie Howell left for her home in Manhattan, Tuesday. The Summer school of the Business Course department will remain open during vacation. Persons who intend taking up this most helpful occupation should apply at once to Principal Carter. The students' garden produce has been put upon the market, and sells readily. Why cannot the many, many colored youths of this city be taught to make money by this means rather than be constantly idle. Professor Carter will leave for Colorado about June 14, where he will spend sometime laboring in the interest of the school. Professor Brown will locate in Lawrence during the summer, leaving for that place, next Monday. Mrs. Mary Smith, our matron will remain at the Institute during the summer. Persons desiring to enter their boys and girls in the Industrial Institute next year, should begin now to take preparations and correspond with Principal Carter. A very large attendance is expected from outside of the city, and rooms should now be engaged. School begins September 9. Professors Freeman and Ross will be engaged to remain in the city during the summer months. The annual meeting of the directors of the Institute will occur next week, at which time the principal and the directors for the ensuing year will be elected. A subsequent board meeting will be held, at which meeting the board will elect its officers and the faculty for the next school year. ST. MARK'S A. M. E. CHURCH ST. MARK'S A. M. E. CHURCH. The rally and corner stone laying at St. Mark's A. M. E. church, last Sunday, was a grand success. The Odd Fellows played their part well, in spite of opposition. They laid the stone in the presence of about 1,000 or 1,500 people and helped us raise one hundred and sixty-five dollars and seventy cents ($165.70). How is that for the Odd Fellows? Rev. J. R. Ranson, P. E., the orator of the day, delivered an excellent sermon for the occasion. The following named pastors were on the platform. Revs. W. H. White, J. H. Wilson, D. Smith, Rucker, Stoner Baker, and a number of others. Every one seemed to enjoy the service. The rally will close Sunday, June 1. We had thought of tearing out the stone, so as to give the Odd Fellows another job as they did so nicely last Sunday but we have changed our mind, and will invite them to come back if ever there is another one to be laid. Rev. J. H. Wilson of Glaszow Mo. a minister of no mean ability was the servant for the day. He preached at 11:00 a. m. and 8:00 p. m., two able sermons of which he is qualified to do, and the people went away feeling as the apostles did at the transfiguration, that it was good for them to be there. NOTICE. The programs for the Baptist Sunday school convention, of Kansas, will be out this week. Let all the delegates render their numbers. The convention will be better than ever this year. Let every worker attend, as there is plenty of work for you. J. E. LEWIS. OF WICHITA, KAN. Mr. John E. Lewis, one of Wichita's enterprising young men, has lately bought the Fisher barber shop on East Douglas street and will maintain the only accomodation of its kind in the city. when asked in regard to the prospects of the shop. John replied that if the colored patrons would be satisfied with the accomodations, he would be satisfied with the income. Two artists are employed in his shop who are doing much to further his interests, while he continues to contract house work. From the foregoing statement made to our representative it goes without saying that Mr. Lewis is a thoughtful race man and should be appreciated by the negroes of that community. He is at present the grand chancellor of the K. of P., state of Kansas and recording secretary of the N. W. B A. John is the coming negro of Wichita. Dr. E. Harrison of Wichita, who is classed today as one of the foremost colored physicians of Kansas was born in Kingston, Jamica in 1864. Coming to the United States in 1834, he entered the medical department of Harvard and through the agencies of hard study and economy, finishing in 1885. He was enabled to launch out in the South with other practitioners. Owing to Southern prejudice, after staying in Georgia and South Carolina for four years, he came to southern Kansas and located in Wichita and by his kind treatment to all classes he has built an exceptional large practice at that place which has made his present surroundings. Dr. Harrison is one of those congenial sort of gentlemen that makes friends fast and does all in his power to make things pleasant for strangers. We wish him continued success.

A man attempted to force an entrance into the house of Mrs. M'Qualor one night last week, but was scared away. It is not known whether his motive was robbery or what, but he certainly would have met with a warm reception. Whit Gasaway has recently been appointed janitor at the city hall.

A single city in Kansas presented the names of two of its leading men for a federal appointment, and there were others from different sections of the state. Comment is unnecessary. Any man will earn the gratitude of the rank and file of the Negro voters in Kansas if he can bring the factions together, thereby establishing peace and harmony. The best interests of the race will be served when there is no contention, except that noble contention, who best can work and best agree. Another thing to be regretted is the fact that the Negro so often fails to discriminate between the real and pretended friends. The latter are in evidence only on election day. If we could take the moral side of a question, as it pertains to a candidate, and stick with a tenacity to that, we would be respected, and such respect would carry with it the necessary recognition. The Germans accomplish all by such methods. In deciding whom to support for office we should remember the man who is forever working for the uplifting of the race, as against the parasitical shyster, who appears as our friend only on election day. That is the wrong—the remedy is easy. Why can't we apply it, and apply it with force? Men get tired of fighting for us and suffering-criticism, ostracism and contempt, because of their loyalty to us, and in return have the race turn them down at the polls and vote for the hypocrite, who appears with the cigars and the "barrel," and disappears after he has robbed us of the ballot. This criticism does not apply specially to the Kansas Negro, it is quite general and the best case in point that I can now recall was the treatment of the late John Sherman of Ohio, in the National Convention at Chicago, when he was a candidate for the presidency. Coming nearer home I think that among the men in Kansas who have stood by the race loyally, in politics and out of politics is Congressman Charles Curtis. He has not appeared at election time, only to disappear as the snow does, before the scorching sun, after he has gathered what he desires. But he stands ready at any time to assist the Negro race. Rev. Grant in his letter named only a part of the appointments made by Mr. Curtis in Washington. The following were omitted by him: Fred. Hedges, postoffice, House of Representatives; J. Williams, government printing office; Albert Barton, office secretary of interior; Mr. Brooks, recorder's office; Mr. Lewis, bureau of education. It will be seen therefore that Mr. Curtis does not forget the race. He has a glad hand and an open heart at all times and no hypocracy about him. There should be no question as to the position of the Negro in the Senatorial contest. It is our duty to support Mr. Curtis because he is our true friend and because he is, by virtue of his long experience and influence in Congress, so well fitted for the position. And what is the most important of all to the Negro is the fact that he is not allied or in sympathy with those in his party who desire to limit our political aspirations. Here is an opportunity for the Negro to show his appreciation for "a friend indeed, who is a friend in need. There is no better evidence as to the attitude of the Democrat towards the Negro who seeks political office than the case of Mr. Deavaux, of Savannah, Ga. Mr. Deavaux had the entire Republican organization behind him, but was strongly opposed by leading Democrats of that city and state. One of his strongest opponents, representing the aristocracy of the commonwealth, wrote a letter to President Roosevelt in which he paid the highest tribute to Mr. Deuvaux's character, intelligence and special fitness for the position that could be paid any man. The letter was extraordinarily strong, but notwithstanding Mr. Deveaux's qualifications, the "old colonel" was opposed to his reappointment solely because he was a "nigger." This letter had much to do in bringing the President to his decision to reappoint Deveaux. PAUL BRAY. BOURBON COUNTY ANNOUNCEMENTS. For County Treasurer.
