THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. The Republicans of Fort Scott, Have Showed Their Loyalty to the Negro by Nominating Dr. W. G. Brookins for Coroner. Let the Good Work Continuel WILLIE SELLS, AMERICA'S VOLUME IV. Greatest Coming Showman, He is a Topekan and is Conducting a Circus Which is Making Money and a Reputation for This Matchless Prince. Topeka is Proud of Him. Topeka can boast of one of its sons who is rapidly and surely coming to the front as a circus proprietor, in the person of Willie Sells. From the time of his boyhood at the age of six years, he rode in the ring of his father's circus. His first turn was riding a pony, which took so well, and his improvement was so rapid and sure, that the time was not long until he reached the highest round as the leading exponent of bareback riding in America. Today he knows the ins and outs of the circus business in all probability better than any other one man in the country. In 1872 he was put in the ring against high salaried riders and at that time made good in Sells Bros. Greatest Shows on Earth, and after toiling and working hard to [Image of a man with a beard and mustache, wearing a suit and tie, facing slightly to the right.] HON. CHAS. CURTIS. The man who does things for Kansas, and one of the strongest candidates for the United States Senate. excell in his profession, he succeeded in his ambition to be the star performer of that show. All along through his career he has exhibited the highest type of a progressive and thrifty citizen. It was always his motto to, "Do Something" even when a youngster. After his turn in the ring he would get out and sell photographs of himself; and in those days people bought such things even more quickly than they do now. His sales of pictures would average from $15.00 to $30.00 per day, which he turned over to his mother, with all his other earnings, until he reached the age of twenty-one years. Besides this turn to make an honest dollar he would sell the Clipper to the show people, from which he derived a handsome revenue; also, blacked their shoes, ran errands and sold sandwiches. One might think that being the son of the proprietor he came up with a silver spoon in his mouth but such was not the case. His early life was all but strewn with roses, altbough he appeared gay and happy to the people who saw him perform in the circus arena amidst the glitter, tinsel, and blare of the band. His father was always JOHN H. HARRIS MR. H. I. MONROE. Custodian W. and O. Fund, Prince Hall Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M., and one of the Plaindealer's most liberal patrons. connection with the management of the great show he left the little fellow to his own devices, and the care of his mother and his trainer, the ringmaster,one Ferdinand Touraine. Mr. Sells said: "My mother sometimes was very cruel to me, but I avways kept still and took everything that I got without ever mentioning it to my father. More than once when the trainer was teaching me something new he beat me unmercifully and I have marks on my body to this day which will testify to the manner in which he would lay the lash." Willie was always a favorite with everybody connected with the show, being good natured and ever ready to run an errand or oblige them in any way in his power. When he got to be twelve or thirteen years of age being ever on the alert for new business he imagined he had struck a bonanza in a receipt for hair oil which he secured. He procured the materials and made quite a quantity of it and for a while did a thriving business among the show people, but he shortly made it convenient to keep out of their way for, lo, it turn-their hair green. Upon attaining his majority Mr. Sells had not outgrown hard work. All through his life he has had to fight against desperate odds, and it has never ceased to be a struggle. Not even alter leaving the show conducted by his uncles, and starting in the world for himself, did he have an opportunity to let up and rest. It has been one long, continual, uphill pull. In 188c Allen Sells left the show business and came to Topeka to live; the business being continued by the three other brothers. Allen Sells built here the Chesterfield hotel, (named after the horse Willie rode in the sawdust ring) and gathered around him a great deal of other property. At this time Willie Sells continued with his uncles' show. In 1889, when Barnum went to Europe, Willie, who had become famous all over America for his riding, was engaged to go with the Barnum shows. He was the first American who ever rode before her majesty, the queen of England. After the first season he was offered double the salary to remain for another season but he said that as he had agreed to return and go with the Sells show that he would do so and at least fill the one season out with them and at the end of that time he would entertain a proposition from the Barnum people. He returned home, filled out his season and coming to Topeka, with his father conducted the Chesterfield Hotel. When he took out a show of his own, though on a small scale it grew and he made money. The season of 1895 he cleared $44,000. Then he sold out and opened in New York City a high-price vaudeville house, in which he was very successful, making the books balance on the right side. It is possible that there is not one boy-in ten thousand who has had the varied experience which Willie Sells has had. Besides being famous on two continents as a bareback rider, owner of his own show and a hard worker, he has assumed the role of impressario. After leaving the theatrical world Mr. Sells went back to the circus business. Although at present his show is not as large as the larger ones, it is rapidly coming to the front and 'ere long will be the peer of any aggregation. Mr. Sells is the friend of the lowly and weak, ever ready and willing to foster and encourage those who are worthy and by such qualities has endeared himself to the common people, who are his friends the country throughout. He is especially friendly toward the colored people when he is out on the road with his show, giving them employment, and when in the city he is always around, looking up some colored man to do work about his properties, During the season of roof his show visited this TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 15, 1902. [Name not visible] Besides the regular afternoon performance he was compelled to give two night performances to satisfy the people. The show was all that could be desired. The name of the show this season is Sells and Downs, and they are making money and a reputation. Topeka is anxious that they shall see fit to make this city, and to have them winter for 1903. Mr. Sells is genial, obliging and a gentleman, is a prominent fraternal man, an Elk, and stands high in this city, has not a known enemy, and can get anything in reason he may want. About twelve years ago Mr. Sells married Miss Effie Harris, a highly intelligent, beautiful and esteemed young lady from Columbus, Ohio, who has been a valuable helpmate in moulding out his destiny. To them was born Little Allan Sells, who is now ten and is their only son. He has in the past created quite a furore among the boys of the town by his dog and pony shows in a small way and the time bids fair to come when he may follow in the footsteps of his father as the proprietor of a great show. Allen is the chief beneficiary of Mrs. A Sells, his grandmother. The property which is willed to him makes him the richest boy in Kansas. It affords us great pleasure to put World's Premier before our readers this brief outline of the energy and perseverance of a man who has as yet only started on the journey of life, but who if the past is any criterion will win life's battle and look back upon a past well spent in usefullness to his fellow men, a credit to himself and honor to his family. Notwithstanding the fact that cruel fate and rank injustice have robbed him of most of the rewards of his early life, in the endjustice will see to it that he yet has those things which are his by right. It is the general concensus of opinion that he should have of right inherited the great bulk of the estate left by his parents, but people who did not assist in earing one dollar of this vast estate, nor contributed one cent directly or indirectly are clamoring for it. Justice will surely be done in this matter. THE PLAINDEALER is the champion of his cause and will continue to be. Sells and Downs Great Show is at the present in the state of Iowa coining money.

The announcement of candidacy of Hon. W. A. Calderhead, Congressman from the Fifth District, for United States Senator to succeed Senator W. A. Harris whose term expires March 1903, changes the situation in this state. Congressman Calderhead has made a splendid reputation as a member of the National Congress, and will make a strong fight for the place. He is one of the brightest scholars in the state and has a thorough acquaintance with the leading men throughout the country. His late entrance into the fight in no sense indicates that he is not a formidable competitor for the coveted honor. Already he has secured several members of the legislature and no doubt he will secure a strong following before the state legislature convenes in January next. Governor Stanley is making a strong fight for the senatorial toga and feels confident of winning. His administration as governor for the past four. years is without spot or blemish. He is strong with all classes of the people and if selected will make a good senator. His WILLIE SELLS, or Bareback Equestrian, Successful Present Circus Manager and Proprietor work in the interest of the Negro Industrial schools in this state makes him exceptionally strong with the masses of our people. By reason of illness, Hon. Charles Curtis has not been able to give the people the benefit of his magic handshake. Now touring the Sixth district he will not return without bringing a vote or two. Mr. Curtis is one of the strongest candidates for the position of United States Senator. If left to the choice of the ```markdown ``` HON. W. A.

Just who will win in this fight is hard to say. These are good men, any one of whom would make an ideal Senator. N. W. B. ASSOCIATION. Hold Their Nineteenth Annual Session in Topeka. The Nineteenth Annual Session of the Northwestern Missionary Baptist Association was convened at B, street Baptist church, Topeka Kansas, Tuesday, August 12th, and has continued in session during the remainder of this week. During the morning, afternoon and evening sessions many papers pertaining to the work have been interspersed with high grade musical selections and addresses. Friday evening the session will be held at the Auditorium and the following program will be carried out: Singing by Shiloh Choir; addresses by Prof. I. E. Page, Langston, O. T.; Wm. R. Carter, Topeka, and Rev. T. J. DeClelland, Lawrence. Sunday services will also be held in the Auditorium and ser- ul Impressario, tor. mons will be preached by Rev. W. L. Grant in the morning, Rev. H. F. Frazius in the afternoon and by Rev. J. F. Thomas in the evening. Wednesday, the Woman's Convention of the Missionary and Foreign Board was called to order by Mrs. M. Jones. It is the purpose of this association to build in the near future a Home for the aged and infirm of this District and active progress has been made along this line. Among the prominent persons attending the Association were: Revs. W. L. Grant, E. R. Wilson, H: J. Spigener, of Kansas City; J. H. VanLue, Wichita; R. P. Banks, Great Bend; H. P. Frazier, Wichita; J. M. Middleton and W. P. Banks, Leavenworth; Geo. McNeal, Kansas City; J. W. Price, Dunlap; Robert Cox Salina; C. Gordon, Manhattan; C. L. Guyton, Atchison; H. F, Missimor, Mesdames Maggie Stark and M.

Thomas, Chicago. A more neat and intelligent looking set of delegates have never come to Topeka than the ones that attended this association. Rev. White and The business manager and a representative of THE PLAINDEALER swooped down on Kansas City, Kas., and added a large number of subscribers to our already large list. Our mission to Kansas City was to give a general resume of the various enterprises and the citizens in general, but after our arrival conditions were found to be such at this time that we reluctantly abandoned the project and the outlook was so promising to increase our circulation at this point we concentrated our attention along those lines, and thanks to those who know a good thing when they see it we were successful beyond our fondest hopes. The branch office of THE PLAINDEALER hereafter will be at the A. C. L. Coal Co., 435 Minnesota ave., where subscriptions or any matter for THE PLAINDEALER will be promptly attended to. While in Kansas City we spared enough time to get around among a majority of the business concerns conducted by our people and we found that notwithstanding this being the dull season of the year, they were holding their own. Among the newspapers the American Citizen was still doing business at the old stand, having weathered the storms of years and steered clear of the breakers. On account of the proprietor having taken unto himself a helpmate, things of course bore a rosy hue on the occasion of our visit to his sanctum. The Record is a new publication launched out upon the sea of journalism and they start out under the most auspicious surroundings, every thing in the office new and up to date, thorough and experienced workmen in charge. We see no reason why their efforts should not be crowned with the greatest of success. The firm of Jones and Clark, at Oakland and Fourth streets, do a general grocery business and from the way customers were coming in while your scribe was trying to talk to the firm we could only say that they were there with the goods. W. B. Trembly, city clerk of Kansas City, Kansas, has served with the famous Twentieth regiment in the Philippines. He is serving his first term as city clerk and has made a painstaking and efficient officer. POLITICAL Politics at Kansas City at the time of our visit were at the high-water mark. A hundred patriots who are willing to serve the dear people are offering themselves up as a sacrifice for county officers. The Republican county central committee met sometime back and changed the usual order of things from the popular Australian ballot system, back to the old-time convention where the fixers can manipulate the ticket. And this convention does not meet until the 9th inst., to nominate their ticket. There is some complaint among the colored contingent over what is reported, that a certain part of the managers have got together and propose to eliminate the Negro from the county convention. In conversation with one of the leading Negroes of Wyandotte county he waxed warm over the matter and said if they carried out their threat they would also have the pleasure of electing their ticket without the aid of the Negro. Charles W. Green, mayor of Argentine, is the Democratic candidate for county treasurer. Mr. Green has had a successful career as the chief executive of Argentine. Going in at a time when every thing was in a chaotic state financially, he has brought the city's credit to par notwithstanding that the great smelter which employed so many men has been closed down and removed. All the city departments are kept up and there is no trouble in meeting all demands. Mr. Green has appointed on the police force a colored man, Rufus Balthrop, who is a terror to civil doctors and fills the position NUMBER 31.

Green is an energetic and progressive citizen who would fill the office as treasurer of Wyandotte county with credit and signal ability. G. C. Morrison, of Armourdale, is the Democratic candidate for clerk of the court of appeals. Mr Morrison is identified with the common people, having for years been employed by the Sewartzschild Packing Co., though while at work he has studied law in the Kansas City School of law and graduated with honors, thus making him especially competent to fill the position to which he aspires. He has never held office up to this time, but if elected there is no doubt but that the place will be in competent hands. Hon. Jno. E. McFadden, the Dem- ocratic candidate for county attorney, is at present councilman from the Second ward and has a host of friends, so much so that it can be said that he is popular. There is that genial fellowship and honest expression about him that to meet him is to be his friend, and besides adding strength and dignity to any ticket we predict him a handsome support from all classes. W. J. Thompson is the Democratic candidate for register of deeds. He is a young man but has a lifetime experience in the abstracting business, making him especially a competent person for this position. He has a host of friends among the colored people of Wyandotte county and will no doubt give a good account of himself at the polls in November. The Democratic county convention met on Saturday. July 26th, and nominated a ticket and feel sanguine of success. The ticket is headed by J. D. Waters, of Bonner Springs, for Sheriff. Mr. Waters was born and raised six and one-half miles south of Leavenworth, Kansas, Nov. 25th, 1860. His father served in the Union army and at the close of HON. J. D.

Recently a number of the Ne- gro editors and publishers repre- senting papers published in the interest of the race, held their annual meeting in Topeka. It was a notable gathering of a representative class of Negroes. They came from Utah, Colorado, Oklahoma and Missouri to talk shop. They were deeply in- terested in the work at hand and manifested a surprising know- ledge of the publishers’ art. The work of building up Negro jour- nals on a national business basis and the development of a definite policy for racial advancement has never before tngaged the serious attention of the Negre editor. He has been disposed to plod along in a haphazard sort of a way, mixing the grafter's in a large proportior with bis business. There is nc reason why the Negro paper: should rely for their existence upon the uncertainties of the “political hold up."’ There i enough legitimate business fo papers published in the interes of our people to enable them t live and prosper. The Fake Negro Paper. It is gratifying to note the manly stand taken by the Negro editors and publishers against the fake Negro papers. In many of the Western cities during the stress of political campaigns, fake papers are established for the purpose of advancing the politi- cal interest of some candidate or party, While it will not be possible to prevent this class of fakes, the legitimate Negro papers will not hesitate to de- nounce them as fakes and warn the public against putting theit money into them. One of the greatest obstacles a legitimate Negro journal has to contend with is the fake Negro editor who travels over the country soliciting subscribers and never sending’a copy of his paper to people who subscribe, thereby ruining the opportunity of legitimate journal to get busines: and _at the same time reflecting on the honesty of the race. ‘Improve Your Papers. It was a pleasing feature of the conference of Negro news- papermen to note the general desire of all present to improve their papers. How to get more news matter and how to arrange it in an attractive manner, and how to improve the mechanical appearance of their papers, were some of the questions up for discussion,- ‘and if the various suggestions are followed out dur- ing the coming year, the pros- -pects for a marked improvement in the literary and mechanical departments of the Wester papers is assured.

There should be [2 Negro paper in every home. The power and* inffuence for the good of the Negro press should be active and not passive. The Negro press should lead in moulding the thought and senti- ment of our people. Will we do it? A Mistake. In making a report of the recent session of the Western Negro Press association, an un- intentional error has crept in. In the hurry and rush of the closing hours, a resolution was introduced by Mr. Nick Chiles of THe PLAINDEALER, andjpassed the unamious vote of the asso- ciation, “that the papers of the Western Negro Press association should support Western men only for appointments under the federal government.” It has been reported eroneously that the association would support and endorse none but Negro editors. It is to be hoped that this will be corrected and that the association will not be placed before the world as a gathering of political grafters, anxious to hold some petty office rather than devote their time and ability to the upbuilding of the race. Se eee eee: nT Many of our people have been disposed to disparage the work of the Western Negro news- papers. No class of Negro busi- ness men are giving employment directly to more of our boys and girls than are the Negro print shops. In the territory West of Mississippi river and North of the Texas state line, twenty- three legitimate papersare editec and published in the interest 2 Negroes.

The Negro Editors Standing. In an address before the Negro editors, it was asserted that they lived upon a low plane of thought, that they were lack. ing in that respect for their leaders that made a people great. The speaker was one of the educators of Kansas and a man aspiring to lead his people. In his remarks, the educator dis- played a woeful ignorance o} Negro papers and their policy ic the past. Nowhere in this broac land has the humblest Negr journal done other than poin' the race up the hill of difficulty and urge them forward in th race of life. It is not to be expected that a man who receive his inspiration from a sourc such a8 does this distinguished (2 educator, will do other tha: seek to elevate himself by en deavoring to tear down others ‘The Negro papers have fough the battles of the race and hav taker ground in advance of the Negro pulpit in their warfare against race prejudice and pro- scription. The Negro press is demonstrating that the Negro can work, can build up business- ‘es paying money every week into the hands of colored boys and girls. What'a class of men are doing tells the story'of their importance, and not their grand, eloquent indulgence in glittering generalties.

Smith was a‘ pioneer citizen, coming to this city in the 60's from Springfield, Mo., where he was born in the year 1843. Ever! since his residence in Kansas he has always been a prominent figure in all matters pertaming to the race, political and otherwise. When Geo. Smith was not present at a state convention or conference of colored men, with amotion to adjourn, the memory of man runneth not back.

Helping er Hindering the Negro. The Hon. James K. Vardaman, defeated fot Governor of Mississippi atthe last election, comes forwrrd again for the same office. He has but one issue, “The Negro Schools.” He is ‘‘agin” the Negro Schools. He says the enormous sums of mon- ey (?) “squandered every year on the Negroes” should be spent on the whites. Certainly the whites need the education: for ignorance and superstition are just about as de- grading ina white being as they are in any other. But Mr. Vardaman's reason is that the “only place in the economy of this commonwealth (for the Negro) is that of a menial” “He mace yAnytbing that causes 1¢ Negro to aspire above the plow- handle and the cook-pit—in a word, the functions of a servant—will be the worst thing on easth for the Negro. God designed him for a menial; he is fit for nothing else.” The only comment. necessary.on the sort of ignorant vituperation is -to observe how priceless his own igno: ance mast be to Mr. Vardaman; for charity would suggest that ignorance rather than a worse trait is ‘respon. sible for such language. Might we Venture to put 2 question to Mr Vardaman: If he is so well inform ed as to what Cod designed” th Negro for, “would he inform us wha the same Power designed Mr. Ward aman for?”—Central Christian Ad vacate, PUBLICATION NOTICE.

He still retains an interest in the American Steam laundry in this city and also other residence property. George is a wide awake young man who, when he makes a dollar knows how to save it. He has invested his in Topeka enterprises and property which, no doubt, give a fair return. INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE Prof. W. R. Carter returned this week from a six weeks trip in Colorado where he experienced much success in bringing the work prominently before the people of that state.

The Printing Department has just turned out this week the Principal's Annual Report and an illustrated booklet upon the work of the school. Both jobs are of much credit to the school. A number of the Institute Band boys played with the 23rd Regiment Band on their trip to Leavenworth. Many applications for quarters at the school this year are coming in from prospective students. Persons contemplating attending the Institute this year should write at once to Principal Wm. R. Carter. The school was recently indorsed by the Western Negro From Ancestation and parents are urged to send their children to this school where they can receive the three-fold training—intellectual, industrial, and Christian at the same time.

The society will meet Sunday evening at 6:30, at the band hall, 1300 Quincy street, at which time the Cumberland band will take part in the program. Interesting subjects will be discussed.

Three boxes are sure to complete the treatment, and in most instances one box alone is sufficient. It is very cheap—50c. for an extra large size box, or $1.00 for three extra large size boxes, guaranteed a full and complete treatment. You will never have to use more than three boxes. After you have used that quantity your Hair will be in a perfect condition, and you will never have to use any Hair Tonic of any kind again. It is the greatest wonder of the century, and will take the place of all other Hair Tonics now on the market.

PATRIARCHS OF THE FAITH.—The association has decided to build a home for the Aged, Infirm and Orphans. This was decided upon at Leavenworth, last year. Five thousand dollars will procure an excellenthome. 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 in two. We would still have 2,500 members who could contribute 50 cents each, thus realizing $1,250 from the members and children of our 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 session of the association. They have done their work and call upon us to pass upon it. Let us, brethren, come to Topeka and make the Home a reality. Let us provide a Home for our mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, who for any reason are unfortunate in this life. Let us purchase a $5,000 Home which will be the pride of the denomination and an honor to the race. According to an action of the executive board which met at Osage City, Kas., Nov. 17, 1901, it was decided to ask each church 50 cents a member for the Home, this year Brethren, let us be true to ourselves, to our God, to our neighbors. Don't ask curious questions but go to work. Religion that doesn't go pocket-deep cannot go heaven-high. Pray, plan and work. Let u collect $1,000 for the Home this year. Members of the Executive Board present at the meeting Nov 17, 1901. PUBLICATION NOTICE To the above named defendants, F. K. Howard, and Mrs. F. K.
