THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Historical Society State House THE The Knights and Daughters of Tabor Holds the Most Interesting Session in Its Entire History. The Order Has Made a Record Second to None and is Still Increasing. The International Order of Twelve, Knights and Daughters of Tabor 777-333, of Kansas Nebraska and jurisdiction held their eleventh an- nual session in the A. M. E. church on Eighteenth and Webster street, July S, 9 and 10 in Omaha, Neb. This was one of the grandest and most successful sessions ever held, and from every standpoint was of particular interest to the Neero. Sir Frank Wilson, C. G. P., and Dt. Emma Gaines, C. G. P., deserve great credit for the manner in which they are handling the affairs of this noble order. Sir Wilson is a man of exceptional ability in handling people. His diplomatic method of treating all persons with whom he comes in contact, leaves a favorable impression upon them, and by so doing he has built up a large organization composed of the best people. They are hard laboring, industrious men and women, and are accomplishing much toward solving the problem. During the entire three days session, not a single word of bitterness or strife was uttered. Those present seemed to have the highest regard for the presiding officers, and they too for the representatives. Dt. Emma Gaines, the chief high priestess, is an exceptionally bright lady, and deserves all the honors conferred upon her. She is a Topekan and Topeka is proud of her. She is loved, honored and respected by all with whom she comes in contact; she is fair and impartial in the performance of the duties of her office. She presented the grand jurisdiction with a beautiful banner, made by her own hands. It was a very beautiful design—green on one side and crimson on the other and beautifully embroidered. The figures and emblem of the order were worked in silk thread. It was attached to a nicely finished pole with beautiful tasseled cord. Rev. P. C. Thomas, of Salina, Kas., in a neat little speech of acceptance in behalf of the order, paid an eloquent tribute to the donor and the ladies of the order. A vote of thanks was tendered her for such a valuable and timely gift. Joe E. Herriford, C. G. M., of Missouri and jurisdiction, assisted the officers in their work. He won the admiration and respect of all who met him. He is quite young in the cause, but thoroughly understands his duties. As a scholar, he stands in the front rank, and is doing much to build up the order. The order has increased to 2,000 members. During its eleven years of existence it has collected and paid out over $31,000; for the year Jvly 1901 to July 1902, expended Hall rent, $890; sick dues, $916; burial, $975; endowment, 1265; miscellaneous, $110; total $4163. The Grand C. G. M., Dt. Sarah Williams, of Lincoln Neb., who has been re-elected several times, is one of the most efficient secretaries we ever met, and there is not a single item in the proceedings that escapes her. She is an estimable lady and is loved by all the members. Sir A. W. Hopkins, the C. G. S., is a fixture in the order that would be difficult to replace. He understands every detail of the order, keeps all the papers that belong to the body in proper place, and gives an accurate account of every penny received or expended. By retaining him, shows what high appreciation they have of him. Sir Hopkins resides in Leavenworth, and is well known through the state for his sterling qualities and business integrity. William Core, of Topeka, C. G. T., is called the watch dog of the treasury. He closely scrutinizes all vouchers and checks drawn on him VOLUME IV. 777-333, Kansas Nebraska and jurisdiction held their eleventh an- and pays nothing unless properly signed and vouched for. He has been grand treasurer for ten years and not one penny has been misplaced. He is honest, upright and honorable, and the proper man for the place. THE TOFENA PLAINDEALER and The Omaha Progress were competitors for the official organ. The former was selected with the following agreement: Each Temple, Tabernacle and Tent must take at least one copy of the paper, and pay $1.00 in advance for same. The paper is to carry the names of the chief mentors, high priestess, queen mothers, secretaries, place and time of meeting, and news pertaining to the order for one year. We accepted, and hope each presiding officer who has not met the requirements will do so at once. The order made another grand step by increasing the endowment. Instead of paying fifty dollars to the beneficaries, they will receive $75.00. Each member is assessed fifteen cents per month; by this method the treasury will be flowing with money during the next ensuing year. The grand officers were photographed at the park, where a fine program was rendered. Rev. W. L. Grant, of Kansas City, Kas.. past grand orator, delivered the speech of the day. He electrified the people of Nebraska, and scores of white and colored people were heard to remark that such a speech was never before heard in the state. The Reverend was feeling at his best and covered the Negroes' history from Adam down to Booker Washington. In all, the Knights and Daughters of Tabor are doing much to build up the race. The following delegates from Topeka were in attendance on the grand body: Dt. Ema Gaines, C. G. P.; Sir Wm. Core, C. G. T.; Sir W. Osteen, C. M.; Sir Ransom Taylor, P. P. D.; Dt. Susie Richardson, H. P.; Dt. Ida M. Jordan, H. P.; Sir Robert Jordan, C. M.; Dt. Blanch Hide, P. H. P.; and Miss Sally Storm. following report of the session: "Not since the order met here a dozen years ago has Omaha seen so resplendent a parade as that of the Knights and Daughters of Tabor, which left the African Methodist Episcopal church at Eighteenth and Webster streets shortly before one o'clock this afternoon and traversed the principal streets before disbanding, to take cars to Hibbeler's park, where there are exercises and carnival contests that will last until late this evening. "This order is the especial pride of the colored people, and they have not stinted themselves in providing parapharnalia. The grand presiding prince, C. M. Johnson, wore a uniform that would back Nelson A. Miles clear into obscurity. He was at the head of the procession, except for the mounted police, and behind him and the band wagon, drawn by four white horses, came Grand Drill Master W. O. Wigley, Past Grand Drill Master Ed Henderson and Grand Inner Sentinel James Thomas all mounted and scarcely less impressively costumed than their leader. MAIDS, PAGES AND CHILDREN. "Then came the maids and pages of honor, colored children in white frocks and suits, each with a head piece significant of the order. They occupied a caryall. "The pedestrian contingent included the Princes of the Royal House of Media, the Palatine Guards and the Uniformed Rank, Knights of Tabor, to the number of sixty. Swords, sashes, medals, badges, plumes—they were so abundant that in comparison that ancient spectacle of the Assyrians who 'came down like a wolf on the fold, their cohorts all gleaming with silver and gold,' must have been tame indeed. In the fourteen carriages were the crowned and garlanded grand officers, including the grand queen mother, the chief preceptress, the chief mentor and past chief mentors, the chief grand mentor and chief grand preceptress.

"Those in carriages drove out Farnum to Thirty-seventh street and then across to Hibbeler's park, but the marchers broke ranks at Sixteenth and Howard streets and boarded cars, taking the band with them. "The officers of the grand temple and tabernacle as elected are: Sir Frank Wilson, Kansas City, Kas., chief grand mentor; Daughter Emma Gaines; Topeka, chief grand preceptress; Sir D. L. Taylor, Salina vice grand mentor; Daughter Bessie Hall, Fort Scott, Grand preceptress, Sir A. W. Hopkins, Leavenworth, chief grand scribe; Daughter Sarah Williams, Lincoln, chief grand recorder; Sir William Core, Topeka, chief grand treasurer; Sir G.C. Tucker, Omaha, grand presiding prince; Daughter Eliza Scort, Leavenworth, grand queen mother; Sir Allen Garner, Coffleyville, Kas., chief grand orator; Daughter Hattie Montgomery, Atchison, chief grand priestess; Daughter Maggie Mack, Kansas City, Kas., grand inner sentinel. It was voted to hold the next session at Leavenworth the second Tuesday in July, 1903. At the entertainment and reception at Washington hall there was given a program which consisted principally of musical numbers, and addresses by Chief Grand Mentor Frank Wilson, of Kansas City and Rev. J. W. Clarke, of Omaha." NEBRASKA'S POPULAR State Superintendent of Schools-He is a Strong Man and Sue of Election. The nominee for state superintendent on the Republican ticket is one of the most prominent and most rapidly rising school men of the state. Wm. K. Fowler is a native of New Jersey, being born in that state nearly forty years ago. He graduated from a grammar school in New York city, after which he attended college Monmouth, Ill., and still later at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland. With his father's family he came to Nebraska in 1883, locating at North Bend. His business and professional career began while living in Dodgecounty and for this reason his candidacy is regarded with unusual favor there, where his sterling worth was made plainly manifest. He at one time edited the Scribner News, and afterwards founded the North Bend Argus. He first served in country schools and afterwards was elected principal of the Scribner school. From there he went to the superintendency of the Blair schools, where he served with unusual success and satisfaction for the past seven years. Mr. Fowler has been prominently identified in the management of state educational matters. He has been a progressive student of school management and has neglected no opportunity to fit himself in a thorough manner for his life work. He has excellent administrative ability as well as experience and educational qualifications to serve him and the public if he should be called to the state superintendency. That he will get a decisive majority in Dodge county, where he is so well and favorably known, is a foregone conclusion. Should Know Whereof You Speak. "The PLAINDEALER seems to have some misunderstanding with the administrations of the Prince Hall Grand Chapter and Prince Hall Grand Lodge. We are very sorry to see this and hone peace and harmony may soon reign." The above, from the Kansas Record, a youngster published in Kansas City, Kas., only serves to show how some people will try to "butt in" and handle other people's affairs without first ascertaining the facts. This paper has never uttered one word about the Prince Hall Grand Lodge. We had a grievance against Prince Hall Grand Chapter, O. E. S., and we stated it to the public, and if the editor of The Record will only read THE PLAINDEALER of two weeks ago he will find that nothing has been said regarding the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M. We don't understand the Record's motive in saying we are out with the Masonic Grand Lodge, but would advise that facts should first be ascertained before speaking. THE INFLUENCE Welded by the Publip Should Be Exerted in Support of Race Enterprises. The following was read at a late meeting of preachers of New York and vicinity, entitled "The Influence of the Pulpit with the People in their Support of Race Enterprise", by Dr. D. P. Reid, as the representative of the Medico-Chirurgical Society of Greater New York; I have been deputized by the Medico Chirurgical Society of Greater New York to submit here this afternoon for the consideration of all present who are looking toward the development of the race along all lines, the subject on which I shall address you. I know of no classes of men who are better fitted to aid such development, by virtues of their calling and work, than the minister and the doctor, and for this reason, if for no other, these two sets of representative men should cooperate and work for the betterment of our race. Some of the ministry this afternoon may ask the question "Why is it that the M. D.'s have a D. D.S. to represent them in this matter?" The great fact that we are all doctors. The D. D.S. is a part of the M. D., whose calling it is to assist him in looking after the health of men. The D.D. looks after the highest interest of man, the soul; hence we allowed him to sit as a tribunal of justice, not only for the M. D.'s but also for the business and industrial classes, which support us all. The physicians are here this afternoon to confer with the clergy for the purpose of trying to find some way by which our people may be influenced to support their business and professional men as a matter of principle, and as one of the crying needs of the race. The physicians feel that the pulpit is and has been the great educator of the people, that its influence was felt even before freedom and that it cannot be denied or disputed that if it has not been the means of educating the race in general, it has been chiefly instrumental in the education of those who cannot or do not read or think for themselves on matters which require serious and cultivated thought. Statistics show that the white people do not give as largely as they used to for the maintenance of schools and when they do give it is chiefly to industrial institutions or those with industrial attachments; so you see, the time is rapidly ap proaching if it has not already arrived, for us to support our institutions as well as our churches; to support our professional and business men, because today we judge of the prosperity and general character of a race or nation by the aggregate advancement of its individuals along all lines and this being true we have a right to expect of each individual personal effort and personal interests and support according to each ones ability and opportunity. It behooves, therefore, each man and each class of men to be up and doing for the night cometh when no man worketh. I start out with the broad and general statement that the influence of the pastor with the people is the most potent for the reason that the great masses of them come under his direct guidance and instruction. They have, from their frequent contact with him, as spiritual guide, always regarded him as their natural safest and most reliable leader, whose advice, opinions and teachings they have been accustomed to follow with implicit faith and to which they have learned to attach considerable importance. The pastor has made himself prominent and conspicuous in nearly all matters touching the welfare of the masses. He has initiated some of the most important movements on behalf of interests vital to the race. It is, therefore evident that the confidence of the people in the pastor should be unquestionable, and their respect for his views and suggestions on questions involving their material and social progress of the highest possible degree. In pleading for the support of race enterprises, it must be understood that although the initiative in taken by a single class of representative men, yet I do not advocate the cause of any special class. On the contrary, I stand on the broad question of the recognition of a general race principle and it is for this I plead and which it is clear to understand underlies the general progress and elevation of the race along all lines where unity, co-operation and genuine race pride must from the necessity of the situation, be prominent and essential factors. If it were characteristic of our race in this country to patronize and, as do all other races instinctively rally to the support of the business enterprises of their own people the outlook for the race would not give so much anxious concern to those who are capable of measuring the extent of the tremendous disadvantage with which the race is afflicted. The lack of systematic race support of our enterprises and professional men from a sense of sacred duty cannot but result in the languishment and ultimate extinction of those enterprises which are in competition with those of other races, whose enlightenment in this respect teaches such u ful and valuable lessons to our people as regards the basic principle of true and solid race progress, and affords an example which they cannot imitate without giving a strong impulse to the general advancement of the race and raising us in our own respect, as well as in the respect of other races surrounding us. The race cannot take on any appreciable feature of material and social progress until it has become in a large measure an employer of the labor of its people. It must be able to a considerable extent to rise from its present weak and humiliating condition of utter dependence for all the elements of its existence on the white race. This is possible only by the liberal support of such race enterprises whose growth to the dimensions of an employing agency depends, for the most part, on the constant and liberal support of those who will have the most natural and unquestionable claim to employment. If these facts be conceded, then the people must be prepared for this duty. They must be educated to a sense of the necessity of performing it, they must be enlightened on the benefit which the consist-disharge of this natural obligation will confer on a race as a whole as well as on individual members, they must be taught the intimate relation which the performance of this bears to the general elevation and betterment of the entire race, and I do not know of a man better qualified to make a better impression on the people in this regard than the pastor. There is none in a better position to advocate this principle more successfully with the masses than he, none who, through the relation he sustains to the people, can so properly regard it as a natural duty as he. While it is the unquestionable right of every one to seek that service which is of his personal choice and from which he is satisfied he will obtain the best value for his money, yet the tendency which is too prevalent among our people to go outside of their own race in a very large degree cannot be defended on the ground of incompetency on the part of our men who are on the common field of competition for the evidence is overwhelming that we show as high qualifications at our examinations as other races and that on any field of activity we are capable of meeting the demands of business and professional life. This tendency, then, must be counteracted, if the race would take a prominent and respectable place in the great activities and in the general estimate of the nation, Revs. Bishop and Scarborough, a short time ago, took occasion to preach a special sermon on the question of the necessity of upholding our business and professional elements; of giving them unstinted support, lest the race should retrograde, and this is clear, for the business and higher professions enter largely into the general estimate of the advancement and elevation of a people. The sentiment is gaining, and we are constantly reminded of it by the evidences in practical life, that if we wish to enter the higher fields it must be by our own efforts and resources. The whites no longer regard us with that compassionate sympathy which marked their attitude and feeling shortly after the emancipation. They tell us practically that we have grown strong enough to look after ourselves, and to mould and work out our own future. The only hope, the only salvation of the race, its only escape from retrogression, are to be found in a well marked disposition to enter heartily into the work of co operation; to act out the sacred principle of race unity, through an intelligent and enlightened conviction of its far reaching influence upon the general condition of the race, its uplifting tendency and the certain guarantee that it affords for success, for mutual help, and for substantial progress along those lines on which the race needs to operate, in order that it may impress itself on those activities which give real, tangible value and recognition. I strongly urge upon the pulpit the necessity of making a systematic effort in impressing upon the people how important it is to the race that this great and saving principle should be practiced as a duty incumbent upon us—a duty emphasized by the ever growing and ever changing conditions which we must meet, as experience teaches, without outside assistance. The rank of the clergy had never been filled by men who enjoyed so great a degree of popular respect, and confidence as those here at the present time, and they can do no better service to the people than to instruct and influence them on such matters as those on which their higher advancement materially depends. OMAHA'S COLORED PEOPLE Omaha is located on the Missouri river and claims a population of 150,000, of which about 5,000 are colored. A small portion of them are doing all they can to upbuild the cause of the race. They have several secret societies and three churches—one in South Omaha. Rev. Dr. Shafer, pastor of St. John A. M. E. church, is doing a great work for the cause of Methodism in this portion of the country. St John is a beautiful brick structure, and is artistically arranged upon the inside for the convenience of handling large and small congregations. He has remodled the building considerably since taking charge of the work. The parsonage is a neat building with a handsome lawn beautifully studded with flowers, plants, etc., which is Mrs. Shaffer's delight. The appearance and condition of the property, not only reflects credit upon the Reverend and his estimable wife, but city as well. The people both white and colored hold them in the highest esteem for the manner in which they have conducted the church and its property. The Doctor has quite a practice at his profession, and those with whom they are acquainted, speak of them in the highest terms, and express a hope to see them remain permanently. Rev. Jeff Williams is pastoring the South Omaha church and is succeeding admirably well. Nothing but praises are heard on all sides for him. IN THE BUSINESS WORLD. Omaha's Negro population is doing but very little indeed in the business world. There are several boot black pariors in the city which are paying, yet white men own all of them except one. Negroes are employed to do the "shining," but why they cannot or do not operate concerns of this character where such a small amount of capital is required, is a question that we are unable to answer. The Enterprise, owned by Mr. T. P. Mahammitt and operated by Mrs. Mahammitt, is a credit to the colored people of this section, and their circulation ought to be five times its present number. The people should read and pay for it. Mrs. Mahammitt deserves much credit for the way she conducts the paper. She knows the newspaper business from "case" to the editorial chair. They are giving the people a much better paper than they are paying for. Mrs. Al. Robinson, the typo, is an excellent worker, in fact the ladies do as much work as the average man. The Progress appears to be doing great service, although we could not locate the editor, on account of rushing business we suppose. In fact, both papers eke out an existence fifty-two weeks in the year. The Enterprise is the leader, and if the field was clear, a decent living could be obtained from the profits. Two Negro papers in a town is too much, and the quicker one of them dies the better it will be for all concerned. The waiters have all the best hotels and two or three of the leading cafes, at a salary of $25 per month. With their tips, etc., they are able to earn as much as $50 a month, yet they do not save any cash. They all dress well, and that's all they receive out of their hard earned dollars. A good time seems to have taken possession of their souls. The packing plants furnish employment for a large number of men and women. The average young Negro in Omaha is like all others, improvident and looking for a good time. In energy, thrift and progress, the formerly-of-Topeka man is always in the front rank, which can be applied to Mr. Al. Jones, who is successfully conducting a restaurant and short order house, employing ten members of the race. His wife, who looks after the cash, is of much assistance to him. Mr. Jones is also head waiter at Lake Manawa with about thirty men under his management. He is president of the Waiters' and Porters' club. NUMBER 27. A Glance at Their Opportunities and Progress in the Business World Are Doing But Very Little Along Political Lines, They are far Ahead of the Kansas Negroes. recognized in several departments of the city government at salaries ranging from $60 to $85 per month. Messrs Thos. P. Mahammitt and Jas. G. Brooks are the leaders in politics and hold two of the most prominent positions out of the seven in the city building. The former is inspector of weights and measures and the latter has a place in the mayor's office. Colored men are employed on the streets and receive just recognition. A colored street foreman is something rarely seen in other cities. THE SCHOOL QUESTION. We are forced to confess that the more we see of the country, the more deeply we are impressed with mixed schools. Here in Nebraska one does not see the children separated, and the people pay no attention whatever. Everybody with whom we talked on the matter, both white and colored, think mixed schools the proper thing. Nobody questions the rights of others on public matters. The medical college admits colored as freely as whites. Dr. Wm. Gordon, who is forging to the front in the medical world graduated from this school with honors. Mixed schools is what is needed everywhere to drive out this awful race prejudice. There is less prejudice in Omaha against the Negro than any city in the United States. He is received on a political equality with the white man. In business houses, hotels, summer resorts, or any place where the public goes, he, also, is welcome along with the others. We can only account for this in an educational way; as they grow up to know each other there will be less prejudice. PROFESSIONAL Dr. Wm. Gordon, formerly of Atchison, Kas., came to Omaha five years ago with his family of four children, and by working twenty-four hours a day, succeeded in building up a lucrative practice. Drs. Hutton, Shaffer and White also have a large practice. All are good physicians and enjoy a liberal patronage among the whites. TUPEKANS IN OMAHA. There are severali Topekans here and all seem to be prospering, with abundance of work and good pay Among them are Mr. and Mrs. Hubard, formerly Miss Della Cannon, who have prospered here and are a credit to Topeka. Merritt, Royster, King, Starnes and Mr. and Mrs. Julius Banks. are prosperous and showing that old Kansas energy and push. N.C. A Prominent Lawyer. George W. Jones, attorney-at-law, of Hill City, is one of the bright attorneys of western part of the state. The Hill City Republican of recent date has the following to say regarding him: "In noting our county officials a leading place must be accorded to our able, high minded county attorney, George W. Jones. He is a well equipped and successful lawyer and his career in this community is one any man might wen be proud of. It is not too much to say that there is no better lawyer in the county and litigants and bar esteem him highly. His progress both in law and political life has been rapid. Mr. Jones is an enthusiastic champion of popular rights and he favors every movement looking to citizenship. He is a colored man and is a credit to his race, for all sections of this community esteem him highly. His word is as good as his bond and he is an important factor in the progress and development of Hill City. His private residence is a handsome mansion and is the largest and only brick in town. He is at present city attorney." Still in the Lead. Hon. Harry McMichael, candidate for attorney of Leavenworth county, is still in the lead.

It will not be out of place, therefore, it, for a while our people should cease chasing the beautiful chimera of «a land of pure delight, where saints immortal dwell,"" and de- vote some carelul consideration to conditions more seriously af- fecting the race's earthly progress and development. A few weeks ago this paper took occasion to make a few remarks concerning thé rehgious movements of our people and especially co: ndemned the practice of ministers building a multitude of churches, thereby saddiing adebt upon the masses of our people, beyond thei means to pay. We did not expect our position would meet the unqualified approval of eithe: our ministry or laity, and it ha: not. However, we are pleases to note the absence of bitternes or acrimony, which raises thi question above the plane of pett} personalities and clothes it witl interest and importance. Thi race, therefore,” in ‘‘taking stoc! of its powers’ will find it “religious development” one o the most potential elements upo: which future greatness and suc cess can be predicted. I returning so soon to this subject it will be our purpose to kee ever before our numerous reader the purpose of the church, an its possibilities for the uplift the race. Let up fix in ot minds that effective Christia work does not result in th multiplying of denomination: nor the rearing of magnificer buildings, but its direct an positive effect is seen in tt loftier ambitions and the high conceptions of citizenship as e perienced in the everyday liv of the Christians. Church Debts and the Preacher. | In commenting upon THE PLAINDEALER’S remarks upon church debts, a prominent A. M. E. Divine said: ‘‘You scem to lay the burden of contracting church debts upon the ministry alone, and do not give to the congregations their share in the création of church debts."’ It has not been the intention of this paper to charge undue blame to aay particular person or set of persons. We were deal- ing with the facts as we found them. Nothing will be gained by apologet‘cally transfering the burden upor another. The part that the congregation has played jn the multiplication of churche: and the creation of a bonded deb has been ‘‘the yielding to temp tation" only. They have merel; followed up the impulse from without. We are inclined t doubt seriously the amount o understanding of the masses o the powers they vested in pastor . and church boards for th creation of debts. * An Appeal to Rastors.

The appeal is timely and: brings be- fore the people the salient points ina movement which if carried to a successful termination will transform the race from an aggregation of *hewers of wood and drawers of water,’’ into an employing class. Every one recognizes the tremendous in- fluence of the church, and all realize that the furnishing of employment for idle boys and girls, constitutes a Christian duty from which one cannot shift the responsibility. There are numet- ous small business ventures springing up all over the country which if properly nourished and developed would in a few years furnish a great deal of employ- ment for our boys and girls. The building up of a confidence in the business men of the race is < worthy undertaking and ow ministers will find much food foi thought in this text. We are cursed more for our lack of con fidence in one another than any thing else. The gospel of con fidence in the honesty, integrity and business capacity of our peo | ple is worthy of another crusade GEN, LEb’s DALGHTER ARKESTED., A sensation was created in Al- lexandsia; Va., recently when iss Mary Custis Lee, a daugh- ter of General Robert E.

We are called upon to send fifty cents per member for the purpose, and if the 5,000 members of our fifty churches were to give the prescribed pro rata, $2,500 would be realized. But let us allow a liberal discount for the children and the disabled members of our churches, by cutting the aggregate lintwe. We would still have 2,500 members who could centribute 50 cents each, thus realizing $1,25¢ from the members and children o} lowe churches in this district. A committee was appointed— Rev J. H. Vanleu, Mrs. M. D. Jones and Hon. H. I, Munroe—to look out site, etc., and report at this ses joion of the association. They hav done their work and call upon us t pass upon it.

Gerun fl oetie-tBes Epitor PLainpeaLer :—-Having ‘been questioned so often as to the [present situation in the Philippines, I feel that you will not refuse me space in your columns for a few words to the questioners. My three years and four months of experience there has taught me that the situation there is in no bet- ter condition now “as far as the Filopinos are concerned,” than it was in 1899, when I landed on the island of Luzon. This island is the tapital of the Philippine group, and headquarters of the United States army. Itis at perfect peac2, anc has been since the capture of Agui: naldo, the noted teader, which wa: effected by the little Kansas man General Funston, in May, 1900 since which time the island of Samar has been the seat of the greatest struggle, and the battles fought now are more severe and destructive to the Americans than those of former days. The Filipinos are not Negroes, as we have been told by many of our white people. They belong to the Malay race, along with the Japanese, Chinese and Indians; they are of the same complexion, and possess a profusion ot long, black, coarse hair, There are different tribes of them, the iocanos, Zambalians, Moros, Togalos and many others, the latter being the leader and promoter of this hard struggle against the United States. Each tribe speaks its own language, but Spanish is the prin- cipal language taught on the island. ‘The Filipinos are far from being the barbarous, uncivilized people they have been so often reported to be. They are very business-like inclined, they furnish their own teachers in their own schools where the Spanish and Togalo languages are taught; \they conduct their own railroads | and machine shops, also many of the '|business houses of the cities of Ma- Jnilla, Dagupan and others; they are owners of a steamship line consist: ing of about thirty steamers, that "|does a large business on the coast of '|China and Japan, The fact that the) “Jare struggling against the Unites | States is not due wholly tu ignorance >and barbarism, but to the fact thai +\ they, like other nations, love thei “| country, love freedons and liberty and desire to govern their own af S\fairs.

The funeral services were held Monday under the auspices of the Masonic fraternity. Say! When are you going to have the party you were talking about and found that it would be impossible to have it because your own parlor is to small for a party this time of year, and there is not a hall in town that will suit for a swell occasion of the kind? So why not go down and look at the O. K. parlors, 1303 Kansas avenue. They can't be beat, we have our own special decorations for parties and social meetings. From July 7, to August 7, we will furnish our parlors and music free, will serve refreshments, ice cream, cake and fruits, for a very small amount per couple. We have things arranged so that all events are private. We would like to have every one that intends to give a party to call and see us. N. B—We study to please the public, we have planned for years to have just such a place. Imagine yourself in a garden of palms and sweet smelling flowers all around you in the midst of sweet music, conversing with a lady or gentleman friend, with a glass of ice cream soda with crushed fruit before you, then you will have a correct picture of the O. K. parlors. Yours for pleasure J. E. TURNER, Prop. of O. K. cafe, and ice cream parlors. They don't Climb. Filled with a strong desire to have a place "to go," a crowd of Topeka's young bloods decided to organize a club—"The Climbers." A meeting was called, officers elected and hall rented. It was a brilliant start, and one of the strongest agitators—a wealthy "club house man," we presume, wanted eah member to pay a tax of $10 per month, but however, when the time came to "deliver' the goods," part of them had business elsewhere—especially the ten dollar man. Well, they met, everybody talked at once, wrangled and demanded their money. The boys could have conducted a real nice club had they possessed the least bit of common sense and business ability. They all wanted to dictate—hence, "The Climbers," like anything else that starts with everybody as boss, died aborin'. We were told by a prominent "leader" of the movement that some of them who had placed their money, became hungry and demanded it before the meeting was called to order. MUCHO FIESTA A number of young people gathered at the residence of Dr. and Mrs. O. A. Taylor Tuesday evening, to pay their respects to Miss Bertha Tipton, of Emporia. Such a treat has not been enjoyed by those present since their childhood days. The merry laughter, the charming music, and the flutter of fans mingled together, added much to the grand "fiesta." The benefit of the drawing taught in school was shown when all were given paper and pencil, blind-folded and told to draw a pig. Prizes were awarded to the two best. Miss Clara Williams bore off the honors of the first, and Mr. Syl Vaughn, the second. Chas. Wolf, had he seen some of the hogs (?) that were drawn, would have closed his packing house to await developments. At a seasonable hour six couple at a time took their places at the table where ice cream and cake were served, then in single file all passed from the table to the punch bowl where they were served by Misses Arnicholas Chiles and Bertha Harlan. The young folks extend to Dr. and Mrs. O. A. Taylor their heartiest wishes, for their kindness toward them has no limit. Mrs. M. Chiles, who assisted, by her kind and courteous manner won the praise and good will of every one. All sincerely hope that such "fiestas" will not be few nor far between. Those present Misses Bertha Tipton, Annetta Scott, Ell n Page, Susie Eagleson, Addie Thompson, Anna Dotson, Bessie Hawkins, Hattie Harper, Clara Williams, M. B. Patterson, Effie Burge, Muggie Vault, Gracie Todd, Arnicholas Chiles and Bertha Harlan; Messrs J. Dotson, W. Tresvau, E. Mason, J. B. Williams, H. Link, E. Nelson, A. D. Patterson, F. Preer, O.
