THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. THEY OVER-RIDE JUSTICE VOLUME V. Kansas Supreme Court Judges Over-ride the Principles Enunciated by John Brown, Abe Lincoln and Other Lovers of Liberty Lowman Hill School Case Unjustly Decided. The act of 1868 was amended in 1879, empowering cities of the first-class to separate white and colored children, except in high schools, where no color discrimination is made. Are the people of the cities of the Second and Third class any different from those of the cities of the first-class? What right has a law-making body under the constitution of the United States to empower certain corporations to discriminate against its citizens on account of color or condition? No corporation has the right to build two court houses of equal facilities and say to the rich man you collect your taxes and perform all of your official acts here, and to the poor man, you must perform a like duty in this court house; but the poor devil kicks by saying that the court for the rich is far better than the one provided for us. But you have equal facilities, your court house is just as good replies the rich man, "We will appeal to the courts under the constitution that there should be no discrimination on account of condition, that the legislature overstepped its bounds when they empowered this corporation to do this," says the poor man. The court weighs the matter and after a long deliberation, decides in favor of the rich man an the corporation, that the legislature had the right to grant this power, not because it is just, but it will please the wealthy man. So it is in this colored question, the court dictates, not according to law and justice in the matter, but to please the majority. There is just as much sense in empowering cities to provide and maintain saperate schools for Germans, French, and other nationalities as white and colored. There are six races, and why not make a law to give separate schools for all of them? What think you of such a decision as rendered by the Supreme court of Kansas last week in the Lowman Hill case by seven Republican judges—men who are supposed to have been rocked in the cradle of the liberty of Abraham Lincoln, Charles Sumner and John Brown, of Harper's Ferry fame? What would these old martyrs say if they could speak to the Republican judges of the Supreme court of Kansas, and especially old John Brown. In the language of the Saviour to the devil on the mount, he would doubtless say, "Get these behind me Satan,"—"You men who have dishonored the name of the great state of Kansas for which I gave my life." It was never intended that race, color, condition or anything of that character should ever disgrace the fair name of Kansas. Abraham Lincoln, who died from an assassin's bullet, and Charles Sumner from the blow of a rebel slave holder's cane for defending what the seven judges of the Supreme court of Kansas should have carried out. If these seven learned gentlemen would think a little about the down-trodden people and the history of Kansas, they would never render a decision showing a semblance of discrimination in public matters arising between people on frivolous excuses. If the flag means one people, why have separate laws for two classes of people? Somebody is lieing about this one people in this country! If the laws were made for all alike, why have a law for two races? If the constitution means all of the people in the confines of the country, why can't a Supreme court so declare? What means all of this beating around the bush about equality before the law? Nothing is equal when it provides for discrimination and any matter passed by a legislature with this express purpose to The judge quoted decisions from other states to bear him out—a few on the "Jim Crow" car law, and several on the school question; all were of the same opinion, that the Negro has no rights that a white man is bound to respect. In every decision the main question has been evaded, and that is, should legislative bodies be empowered to use the word white or black in enacting laws to empower corporations of any character to discriminate. That in itself is enough to invalidate any act. That is why the word colored was used in the Fourteenth amendment to the constitution. The writer of that section anticipated that such trouble as this would arise in the several states on account of the existing prejudice at that time; notwithstanding this, it is used often in the enactment of laws. The Supreme court of Kansas has made a glaring mistake in trying to curry favor with a majority of the people. There is not another country upon the face of the earth where a lot of tribunals like these in our United States would decide in favor of laws based upon color. In darkest Russia, in heathen China, in the wilds of Africa, or in enlightened England, Germany, France or any of the countries of Europe would such a decision be rendered? God hasten the day when men who hold exalted positions will not stoop to injure the pride and feelings of their fellow man by false and deceptive decisions. ROOSEVELT AND HOPE. As long as President Roosevelt is in the presidential chair, the door of hope will not be closed on the deserving, it matters not what the hue of his skin may be. A French merchant recently applied to the courts in Paris for a divorce from his colored wife whom he claimed to have married in the United States. His defense was that Negroes and whites were forbiden by the American law, in the state of Louisiana where he was married. The judge asked, "Why do you ask for divorce? You knew your wife was black when you married her and you knew the law." The case was postponed. In spite of the opposition of the Republican Senate and protest of the solid south, President Roosevelt has made Dr. Crum collector of the port of Charleston, S. C., and in this ease the President has demonstrated very strongly that he will not close the door of hope in a man's face on account of his color. The drawing of the color line at New Orleans of the local members of the National Council of Women was no more than was expected. But there was no cause for the local members to publicly insult and ignore the Northern white members.—The National Review. QUINDARO'S TRUSTEES. Gov. W. J. Bailey has appointed Corvine Patterson, of Kansas City, Kas., a member of the board of trustees of the Quindaro Industrial school. Mr. Patterson has been deputy sheriff of Wyandotte county, street commissioner and policeman in Kansas City, Kas., and stands well with his constituents. He is a strong supporter of the school, and his appointment is highly satisfactory to the board. The other members of the board are C. T. Shaffer, Rev. J. R. Ransom, of Topeka; Rev. G. H. Shaffer, Prof. W. T. Vernon, Judge L. W. Keplinger and Green Keith, of Lawrence. COUNCIL GROVE. Colored People to [Make a Fight for Justice and Ask Assistance. On the 20th of Nov. 1902, Marshal Keefer arrested Bob Bryant, colored, near the Midland hotel for using boisterous language, on the marshal's complaint, so Keefer testifies. Keefer took Bryant about three quarters of a mile up main street, across the town bridge, then through the billiard hall into the alley which was still two and a half blocks to the city jail. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 17, 1903. SOUTHERN MODESTY They Gag at a Gnat and Swallow a Camel! New York Age: The statement that roo white men applied for appointment under Collector Crum, seems rather to discount the hifalutin heroics of the Charleston News and Courier over the appointment. It reminds us of an incident described in a Washington dispatch, when Judson W. Lyons was a candidate for postmaster of Augusta, Ga. On calling at the Postoffice Department, Mr. Lyons was greeted with a letter from a white female clerk in the Augusta office, protesting against his appointment as postmaster, on the ground that it would be repugnant to the feelings of a 'Southern white woman to work under a colored postmaster. He produced in his turn a letter received by him from the same woman, stating that she understood that he was to be appointed and asking that she be retained under his administration. 'There is a lot of humbug in this color prejudice business in the south. When they came to the gate to the pen which encloses the jail, Keefer testifies that he opened the gate and told Bryant to go in but Bryant protested saying "Mr. Keefer, right here is where we have trouble." Keefer said "Go on in Bob and don't make a bad matter worse." Bryant went in the gate and grabbed for a rock but Keefer pushed him and he missed the rock. Keefer then ordered Bryant to go in the jail door and claims that he shoved Bryant inside the jail but the jail door was so heavy that he could not shut it quickly and that Bryant got in the door and would not allow him to close it; that he made bryant get back several times when Bryant got in the door again and he shot him. Seven men saw the shot fired. Four were about 60 feet away and the others from 150 to 200 feet away. They saw no struggle, but said that Bryant went along reluctantly but offered no violence as they saw. They saw Bryant appear in the jail door about three times when Keefer stepped back and shot, Bryant disappearing. The coroner's jury rendered a verdict that Bryant came to his death by a pistol shot in the hands of Dudley Keefer who shot Bryant in self-defense. There was no evidence given that Bryant had weapons and none were found when he was searched. Now Mrs. Bryant and the colored citizens here do not think that Keefer is justified in the SOUTH They G Sw New York has appointed under heroes of the Charge reminds us of an Judson W. Lyons calling at the Post from a white female appointment as postmaster. He pleads the same woman, s and asking that the lot of humbug in the killing. Mrs. Bryant went to our county attorney, J. Maloy, but he refused to have anything to do with the case. We, still believing that such an unjustifiable murder should not go untried by the court, had the case investigated by a lawyer and in his judgment it is a clear case of cold blooded murder. We raised $100 and employed Lawyer W. A. Anderson, ol Emporia, Kas., to push the case. Mr. Anderson immediately went to work on the case. He presented the case to Judge Moore April 6 and Mr. Keefer was immediately arrested. Last Saturday he was bound over to the district court for trial. We believe this case should especially interest every colored citizen in the state. It is one of those cases where a colored man is shot down without provocation and the murderer is seemingly shielded by the county officials. This being the second case of the kind that has happened here we feel that it is our duty to have this matter dealt with properly. We have $100 more to raise for our attorney fees and solicit the support of everyone who can help us to bring this marshal to justice. The soliciting committee here is C. F. Walker, Jesse Settler and M. G. Hooker. Any one who will help us out in this case can do so by sending whatever amount they can spare to either of the above named persons. JOPLIN THUGS BURN NEGRO HOMES Civilized (?) Americans Raising Hell Again! THE LAW WON'T PROTECT Hence the Persecuted Blacks Must Fight for the Protection of Their Families and Homes! Yesterday morning the press dispatches announced that an unknown Negro had been lynched in Joplin, Mo., having been "suspected" of killing a policeman in the railroad yards of that city. The cowardly fiends were not satisfied with taking the life of this man, who died protesting his innocence, but ran wildly through the towa driving the colored people from their homes, and applying the torch to their houses. The fire department responded, but was prevented from extinguishing the flames. Had this occurred in Kansas. Nebraska or Iowa, the people would doubtless have been surprised, but happening as it did in Missouri, and in Joplin at that, no one felt in the least that anything unexpected had occurred. Joplin is a city made-up SHERN MODER A Gag at a Gnat, swallow a Camel Age: The statement that 100 white men under Collector Crum, seems rather to discredit Charleston News and Courier over the incident described in a Washington paper was a candidate for postmaster of Apostoffice Department, Mr. Lyons was green male clerk in the Augusta office, protector postmaster, on the ground that it would be a 'Southern white woman to work in' produced in his turn a letter receipt, stating that she understood that he was she be retained under his administration, this color prejudice business in the south. of the rift-raff element from Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi and other heathen lands in the South and is a veritable hell hole. No where in that state can be found a class more degraded in the scale of humanity than the white curs who inhabit Joplin, Pierce City, and a few other mining towns in that section. The newspapers all over the country print high-sounding editorials condemning such acts; the minister in his Sunday sermon has denounced it, but in spite of all this, Christianized (?) America continues the barbarous treatment of her black citizens. The Negro is human, a citizen and deserves a fair trial before a court of justice for any crime that he may be accused of or commit, and the all absorbing question is, what can be done to secure him these rights? The efforts of the pulpit and press have no effect, now what must be done? The newspapers saying that it is "a disgrace to civilization," and the minister announcing that "we must be better Christians—drive out the saloona," etc., has been given a fair and impartial test and they have failed. To prevent these acts of violence from being perpetrated upon him, the Negro must look to his own laurels and defend himself. In moss-back dens like Joplin, the Negro must prepare for the pro- tection of his home in times of peace, and when such outrages are heaped upon him, rally together, and fight and die like men for that which is most sacred to all man kind—his family and his home. If the law will not protect us, which it has failed in doing, we must protect ourselves. Twenty well armed and determined Negroes of the caliber of that old hero and martyr who sold his life so dearly in New York, would easily have dispersed these Joplin Thugs. It was a fight for home, the protection of his family and honor. Thus single handed and alone, the old fellow died a martyr, fighting for his rights; but when the old man went down, several more had preceded him. When the late John J. Ingalls wrote to Hon. P. H. Coney, of Topeka, we believe he sounded the key-note that will secure the Negro proper protection, when he penned the following paragraph: "The Bible and the hymn book are all well enough, but what the African race needs is another Tousaint L'Overture with the blood-stained banner of revolution and the torch and sword." The money raised Easter by the several churches for the support of foreign missions could be used to a good advantage among the heathens here in America. We should recall DESTY that and uel! e men applied for discount the hifalutin the appointment. It ton dispatch, when of Augusta, Ga. On reeted with a letter testing against his be repugnant to k under a colored received by him from was to be appointed stration. There is a outh. our foreign missionaries and send them into Joplin and Pierce City, Mo, Pittsburg and Leavenworth, Kansas. Mr. Ingalls again truthfully remarked in his letter to Mr. Coney: "Who would be free themselves must strike the blow." The time has arrived when the Negro must act for himself. The so-called better element of the white people say "we are sorry so and so occurred, and our community has been disgraced," etc., but we cannot recall a single instance where they attempted to stop out-rages of this character, which could be done with an effort of the feeblest character. Is it because the lawless element are in the majority, or do they make these declarations to fool the public and wink the other eye at the law-breakers, and tell them to go ahead? The Negro must note well his surroundings, and govern himself accordingly. There is only one way for the Negro to get his rights in this country, and that is to fight for them. LATER—Reports up to this time show that the rioters are still on the rampage. A gang of heathens from Pierce City have joined the murderous Joplinites and serious trouble may, result. CHEAP LANDS FOR NEGRO I note from the press generally that the race question seems to be the paramount issue, and this question is one of vast importance, and the solution of which calls for the best thought and judgment of our ablest men. Since the emancipation, thousands and I might say millions of acres of United States land were subject to settlement under the U. S., home-stead law, which gives each person over twenty-one years of age 160 acres of land, and the same amount under the timber culture act, and the same amount under the pre emption act. This land lay idle for years after freedom. Thousands of acres was in Western Kansas, Nebraska and other Western states, and a very few colored people availed themselves of the opportunity to take any of this land. Foreign emigration and the poor from the East came to this country and took the most of this land, and they are now among our best citizens—have become rich and independent. "They came out here where they could rear their children near nature's heart, where they could mingle their voices with the voices of the birds, they have erected school houses for the education of their children; churches in which to serve their Creator, and cemeteries where rests the ashes of their dead." They have made these barren prairies to blossom as a rose. This land is now worth hundreds and thousands of dollars per quarter. When these people were acquiring homes upon this land, where was Mr. Colored Man? He was standing or walking the streets of the cities, looking at the electric cars or some magnificent building owned by white people or hoping to get a job washing dishes in some hotel or blacking the boots or driving somebody's carriage. This land was given to aay and all without price. Yet there is still another chance. We have in all these Western counties a large amount of lands called school land that may be taken, and the state gives the purchaser twenty years to pay for it with six per cent. interest. We also have a considerable amount of government land in these Western counties that may be had. We have thousands of acres of railroad land, and land that belongs to speculators that can be had on easy terms. If you want to solve the "race question," get out of the cities—get on the farms, where you can rear strong, healthy, robust children—where you can own horses and cattle, bank accounts—become taxpayers, and the question is solved. Don't say you haven't the money and are unable to come. It will be but a short while before all the best land will be taken, or it will be so high that you cannot purchase it and when you are driven from the cities for want of employment, where will you go? You talk about political recognition and being ignored and ostricised by this party and that party. Follow my advice, and you will not have to beg any more, but will be in a position to demand recognition. I would suggest that some organization be effected, some good man if necessary, lecture where NUMBER 15. Family and His Home! FOR NEGRO Hon. George W. Jones, of Graham County, Gives Some Good Advice on Securing Farming Lands. The Negro's Problem Can Only Be Solved by the Farming Route. most needed on this subject, and open up a negotiation with the view of acquiring some of this land. Go about it a quiet, business like way, and you will find plenty of good white men all over this country willing to render you whatever assistance they can. Respectfully yours, GEO. W. JONES, Hill City, Kas., April 14,'03. We heartily indorse every statement made by Mr. Jones, and urge that some of our leaders get together and push this matter. We know no man in the state more competent or well fitted to carry out a thing of this character than Mr. Jones. He has resided in Graham county for a number of years and stands high with the people of that section. He is familiar with the ways in which the land can be secured, its location, etc. Mr. Jones is honest and reliable, which fact is proven by his twice having been elected by the people of that county to the office of county attorney. We are heartily in favor of the plan, and our columns are open to publish the call for such a meeting. HON. VICTOR MURDOCK Wichita Editor Will Represent the Big Seventh in the Next Congress. A number of years ago, when a green, awkward country lad came into Topeka, and took a stand on a busy street corner to get a view of the first electric car he ever saw, no one ever dreamed that he would be one of the state's foremost newspaper men, or that he would be selected to represent this great state in the halls of Congress. It is true, however, and Victor Murdock, editor of the Wichita Eagle, is that self-same green country lad who, upon his arrival in this city, stopped at his first hotel—the old Windsor house—and the first thing that caught his eye upon the bill of fare was pie, which he ordered at once, and it was he who gave the "bellhop" so much trouble. He couldn't "blow out" the electric light, and upon discovering this yelled like a Sioux buck for the bell boy to come, that there was something wrong with the light in his room, he could not blow it out! Hon. Victor Murdock is a typical Kansasan, having first seen the light of day in Burlingame, March 18, 1871. He went to Wichita in 1872, where he attended the public schools, and also where he secured his first position on one of the city papers. He is one of the ablest and most fearless newspaper men in the West, a friend to the working man, and will represent the state in a manner that all will feel proud. Mr. Murdock will not represent any class or faction, but all the people alike. That he will be elected is a foregone conclusion, as the people of the big Seventh district know who and what he is, and his majority will be almost double that of Chester I. Long. The state has never produced a better fitted man for a Representative, nor has the party ever displayed better judgment in selecting a man to lead the way to victory. Victor Murdock is a great newspaper man, and will be a great statesman. NEWS OF GREAT BEND, KANS. Hon. T. Griffith, the newly appointed postmaster at Great Bend, has given to that city not only an office in name but one in efficiency and appearance as well. The postoffice, one-half block west of center of Court House square, is looked upon with pride by Barton county. Should all the appointees of the "Big" Seventh District improve their locations and render service accordingly, as has done our friend, Mr. Griffith, the Republican banner would never cease to wave. Great Bend not only used good judgment in correlling the Congresional convention on the 2nd inst., but has been highly honored by two strangers, Baby Stephenson and Ruth Selva Gourr, who are destined to become some of Barton county's best material. Both are getting along nicely at last writing. Entered at the postoffice at Topeka as second class mail master. FRIDAY, APRIL 17,1903. After a lapse of nearly a half century the thinking people of the south seem to be rousing themselves to the all-absorbing Negro problem. For the past six months more has been said for and against the Negro than at any time since the days of reconstruction. The changing industrial and commercial conditions of this country are surely affecting the South and the question of providing intelligent labor to meet these changed conditions is causing the trouble. The Southern white man seems incapable of approaching the Negro question without filling his head full of "colorophobia." No Southerner in recent years has attracted so much notice, by virtue of his unique sayings and doings, than has Editor Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier Journal. This veteran Journalist has not only seen fit to break into the sanctuary of the New York Four Hundred, but must seek to stay the march of progress, when the world shall realize "how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in peace." Mr. Watterson belongs to a class of old fossils, who with their faces to the past, fail to see the rising sun of better times. In a speech before the Hamilton Club in Chicago on the roth inst., Mr. Watterson wound up with the following appeal to the prejudice of the white man: "The Negro can never become in any beneficient, or genuine sense, an integral and recognized part of the body politic except through the forces of evolution, which are undoubtedly at work, but which in the nature of the case must needs go exceedingly slow. Where there is one Negro fit for citizenship there are myriads of Negroes wholly unfit. The hot-house process has been tried and it has failed. If, invested with every right enjoyed by the whites, the blacks, gaining in all things else, have brought corruption into the suffrage and discredit upon themselves, it is not a kind of madness further to press artificial methods, which, however justified theoretically from educational lookout in Michigan, Iowa and Wisconsin, fall helpless to the ground in their practical application to the semibarbarous toilers in the cotton fields and corn lands of Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina. "I appeal to you equally in what I conceive the true interest of the black people along with the white people of the South; may, and of the North as well, for all our interests are indissoluble, interchangeable, and that can never be good or bad for one section which is not good or bad for the other section. Modern invention, which has already annihilated time and space, ought not to leave so much as a reminiscense of sectional strife. If that dread spirit should come again, its evil winds will not blow between the North and South, but between the East and West; the horns of the dilemma presented by extremeism involving a new irrepressible conflict between capital and labor. May that day never come, but in case it does the conservatism, law forces and Americanism of the North will need the conservatism, law breeding instincts and Americanism of the South. Then, indeed shall both sections learn what radical homogeneity means and know for certain that blood is thicker than water." The Other Side. The night before Mr. Watterson delivered himself of the above bit of bombast an aggregation of gentlemen at the Union League Club in New York City were preparing a dose for the South quite as effective: The Union League club of New York will take radical steps, it is said, favoring Negro suffrage in the South at its April meeting. In a word Congress will be appealed to deal with the question along the line of a radical reduction of representation of the Southern states in Congress. It is just about a year ago that the Union League club was divided on the question of discharging Negro attendants. The Negro servants were kept by a vote of 3 to 1 after a stormy session. The report of the club committee on political reform, which is expected to precede the action favoring Negro suffrage, will, it is believed, create a convulsion in the Southern states. After reciting that certain Southern states have taken steps to circumvent national legislation giving suffrage to Negroes the report recommends that Congress be asked to take up the question without a moment's delay. It recommends also that this body be asked to cut down Southern representation, and that a large sum of money be appropriated to test the validity of the recently adopted constitutions in Alabama, Virginia and other states in the South. The ablest counsel in this country will be employed to prepare and argue these test cases regarding the constitutions mentioned. In addition to the sums appropriated, it is proposed to ask the individual members of the club to contribute. One of the prime movers in this movement is said to be a former secretary of the interior, Cornelius N. Bliss. The club is expected to adopt resolutions following the acceptance of the committee's report. Ten thousand copies of these resolutions will be circulated to state Senators, to prominent churchmen and those in authority everywhere. President Roosevelt was vicepresident of the club in 1899. He is still prominent in its councils. To THE PUBLIC:After much consideration with the best thinkers, and leaders of the west, and in accordance with thier opinions and desires we have decided to hold annually at Western University a Chautauqua Assembly, to discuss problems affecting the welfare of the race. The purpose of the movement will be to assist in securing and promoting "The unity and uplift of the race." The Chautauqua will comprehend the following departments: Educational, professional, woman's club, business, industrial and agricultural. Successful farmers, mechanics, business men and women interested in club work, ministers, doctors, lawyers, teachers, musicians, and men of all professions in short all who are striving to rise and assist their fellows, are invited to be present. Individuals successful in any walk of life are requested to be present and to participate in the discussions of the session. A synopsis of the program will be published later. The first annual session will be held on the university grounds, Commencement week, May 25, 26 and 27, 1903. It is desired that we may have the hearty co-operation and support of all people in this effort to secure the advancement of the cause of the Negro. For further information write, W. T.

OLATHE NOTES. The members of the Second Baptist church gave a dinner last Tuesday and also a supper and had a nice time. Mr. John Suplett was born in Missouri City, Mo., Dec. 6th 1879, and died at 7:25 o'clock a.m. He was 23 years and 4 months old. The funeral services were held at the A. M. E. church and was largely attended. The services were conducted by Rev. C. A. Wove, assisted by Rev. J. W. Wilson. So much has been said in praise of Hobart's Medicines that our reporter took a run out there to see for himself something about the manufacturing department of his store. He was surprised to see how many preparations there were. It appears that Mr. Hobart is going after the Drug Trust in proper style. Besides selling the trust medicines at much below their regular price, he manufactures medicines of his own make and sells them much lower still. You will always save money when you buy of him. Among his many preparations may be mentioned: Wine of Cod Liver Oil, for Coughs, Lung and Bronchial Afections, 60c per bottle; Herbal Expectorant, a sure cure for Coughs, 25c per bottle; large bottle of Saraparilla, a Spring medicine, 60c; Celery Compound, for the Nerves, 60c. Hobart's greatest remedy is Vin-Seng Tonic. It cures Indigestion, Dyspepsia, any stomach trouble and Catarrh. There is more medicine in a bottle of Hobarts Vin-Seng Tonic than any $1.00 bottle of medicine on the market. Hobart's Vin-Seng costs only 50c for full pint bottle. Mr. Hobart guarantees every bottle of medicine he sells with his name on it. His aim is to divide the profits with the customer. Good Articles, Low Prices, Satisfaction and "Your money back if you want it," is his motto. Some of his other remedies: Shawnee Oil Liniment, for Rheumatism and pain, 25c per bottle; Emulsion Cod Liver Oil, 50c; Liver Pills good as any, 10c per bot.; Kasenka Wafer, Cures, 32 tablets 20c; Melrose Cream is an elegantly perfumed lotion for face and hands, 25c. Headache Seltzer, cure any headache, 10c and 25c bottles. Cut out coupon below and take it to Hobart's cut-rate drug store. It will save you money if you do it. Take this to Hobarts Cut Rate Drug Store. It is worth 5c if you buy 50c worth of Hobart medicines. Rinse this with water. To whom it may concern: Be it known that my petunia is on file as the Probate Judge's office, Shawnee county Kansas, asking for permission to sell into incorporating liquors in the second ward number 119 East Fifth street, in the city of Topeka, Kansas.

It's a Kansas institution and let's turn gut and see it. The tickets for Lee's grand Prize Drawing must positively be brought into the store, 112 W. Eighth street, before 9 o'clock Friday evening, May First. Diamond absolutely free. Particulars for stamp how to secure a Hot Spring Diamond, unmounted. USONA CO-OPERATIVE CO., Garlinville, Ills. "A Gem of Brilliancy!" "Sparkles Like a Diamond!" "The Neatest Drug Store in Town!" These are a few of the complimentary remarks one hears every day about Lee's drug store. The early season rush at Lee's drug store has been so great that Mr. Lee has found it necessary to add several handsome new tables and chairs, and overhead electric fans, to his equipment. There will be no cooler place nor better soda in the city than at Lee's this summer. Miases Felicia Davis, Henrietta Jackson Enis Morgan, Mesdames J. A. Page and J. Abbott, and Messrs. Fred Roundtree and Gaitha Page are among the teachers who attended the Teacher's association in Atchison last week. "Fordy" Branford and "Mac" Harlan are still wrangling and chewing the rag about who is going to win that $30 suit at Lee's. It is also rumored that Gaston, "Eph" Wiley and "Bill," the police editor, had a three cornered misunderstanding about it. It is hoped that all parties will come to an amicable adjustment of their differences soon, however. Wm. Jacobs and wife, of Kansas City, spent Sunday in the city, the guests of her daughter, Mrs. John M. Wright. Mrs. Elizabeth "Allen and son, of Louisville, Ky., are visiting their daughter and sister, Mrs. E. Graves, 404 Kansas avenue. Mrs. J. R. Lytle received a beautiful gold watch and chain as an Easter token from her son-in-law, A. C. Cowan of New York. Misses Maggie Burrows, Jeanette Rogers, Olivia McCampbell and Mr. H. Lewis of Kansas City, attended the Post-Lenten Partie last Monday night. In another column you will find an advertisement of Frank Hobart the cut rate druggist. All readers of THE PLAINDEALER should call on him. Miss Lydia Slaughter celebrated her 13th birthday last Friday. Among the gifts she received was a diamond ring, from her saint, Mrs. Cecil Smith Watts, of New York. Miss Evelyn Phillips entertained the Golden Rod club, Friday afternoon, at her home, 612 W. Eighth street. An hour was spent in needle work, after which lunch was served. April 20 will be a big holiday in Topeka. Everybody, old and young, will turn out and make the opening of Sells and Downs circus a record breaker. It's a Kansas institution, and deserves our patronage. When Billy Sells' circus exhibited here two years ago, he was forced to give three performances in order to accommodate the people. The show is bigger and grander than ever, and they will have to do the same thing again. Mrs. Jennie Vernella, well and favorably known in Topeka, returned last Sunday from Denver, seriously ill. She has been residing in Denver since the death of her husband, Dr. S. Vernella. about a year ago. She is under the care of Dr. J. M. Jamison, at her home, 234 Topeka avenue. Ned O'Banion, who sang "The Great White Throne" at St. John's last Sunday evening, possesses one of the sweetest voices we have heard in a long time. It was a decided hit. People remarked that they could sit all night and listen to the tuneful voice. He is one of the sweetest male singers in the country, and should he desire, could no doubt rank high in the theatrical world, among black and white. One of the most prominent and successful physicians in the city said recently: "In my long years of practice I have never known a druggist in whom I had more absolute confidence. He has sent to Chicago, New York and even to Germany for drugs rather than disappoint my patients, when that particular drug was necessary for their recovery. I believe he would close his doors and quit business before he would substitute, or use any drug except the exact one ordered by the physician. I refer to E.S. Lee, the druggist of West Eighth street." Easter at St. John's. THE FIRST EDITION OF THE NEW YORK TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR REV. F. G. SNELSON, M. A. Ph. D. F. R. G. S. Rev. Dr.F.G. Snelson, the splendid pactor of St. John church, conducted magnificent services all day Easter Sabbath, April 12th. After worshipping in the basement four months, on Easter the services were held in the large auditorium above, which was filled with a well-dressed and happy congregation. The floral decorations were beautiful, the "Snelson Volunteers" having done their work well in decorating the altar. Dr Snelson's Easter sermon was masterly and well received. Text, REV. F. G. Math. 28th chapter, 5th and 6th verses. Theme: "The Risen Christ," We quote the following striking passage: "Christ's fourth appearance was when he appeared unto Peter alone. I wish I might know what Jesus said to poor Peter. Peter never did relate to any one, nor does sacred or protale history tell us. How many has Jesus whispered to each human soul! You have never divulged it, nor will the world ever know. It is too sacredly deep for humau utterance! You cannot confide it to your very best earthly friend. Like the Virgin Mary you must ponder all these things in your own heart with Jesus alone." Bro. and Mrs M. C. Peak, Mrs. J. A. Parks and Mrs. Haze were Miss Minta Davis, of Lawrencee, was the guest of Miss Malinda Thompson Sunday.

Monday evening, April 13th is a date that will long be remembered in the history of Topeka's society. The occasion was the "Post Lenten Partie," given by Messrs Benj. L. Gaines and Wallace C. Scott, and marked the closing of the dancing season among the "smart set." Metropolitan hall was aglow, and presented one of the most beautiful scenes that has been witnessed in Topeka society in many years. The immaculate gowns worn by the ladies, and the faultless attire of the gentlemen, presented a spectacle seldom seen. The affair was a brilliant success, and the many visitors from Lawrence, Kansas City and other places, report it as being one of the swellest they ever attended. Stienberg's orchestra furnished the music, and all present enjoyed themselves until a late hour. The Knights Templars turned out Sunday, and marched to Shiloh Baptist church, where their annual ser mon was delivered by the Rev. J. R. Kansom. They were headed by Prof. Geo. W. Jackson's famous Twenty third Regiment band and made one of the most magnificent appearances we have ever witnessed. At the church Rev. Ransom delivered a masterly address. It was an able effort and one of which the speaker might justly feel proud. Sir J. Hume Childers conducted the exercises by the Sir Knights in a very able and creditable manner. Francis Nina. the five year old daughter of Thos. Oden and wife of Grantville, died on Sunday at their home after an illness of three weeks with pneumonia.

She was a true Christian anda member of St. Luke's chaple. The friends all extend their very greatest sympathy to the bereaved family and rela- thves. The Easter services at St. Luke’s chapel under the auspices of the Sunday School officers and teachers was a complete success. A very darge and appreciative congregation was present. The pupils of the primary class were the principal feature and showed that they had been well trained. The program as a whole was very pleasing and interesting to. all. Master Edward Johnson and little Ida May Hayse presided at the table and after the collection they reported, each what was received on their side. Total re- ceived was $4.64 for missions.

Now that the greatest election in the history of the city is over, the colored man has but to look forward to the incoming city ad- ministration for that recogni- tion due American citizens. Heretofore, a portion of our citizens have been advised, just after the city election, to go away back and sit down until the political trump shall sound two years hence; buta few weeks eee a = oe before the spring elections, the colored vo.ers, ladies and gent- lemen, under the gallant leader- ship of Col. James Gardner, N. O. Berry and J. W. Fife, threw around themselves the mantle of American manhood and set out tobattle forthe civil and political tights of the Negro. Judge F. L. Martin, the present mayor, was visited during the grand rounds and wasasked whether, if reelected, he would give the Negro one blue coat with two rows of brass buttons. His reply was that he could not do that for the reason that white men did not want to be arrested by Ne- groes. The colonel’s forces mov- ed forward until they were chal- lenged by No. 2, Hon. J. P. Har- sha, who, after reading the countersign, assured the galfant leaders that if he was elected the Negroes should have one manon the police force and a fullrepresentation on all public works of the city. Knowing Mr. Harsha to be asound Republican, anda man who always makes good his promises, public as well a3 pri- vate, the colored voters, men and women, about 275 strong, marched into the Harsha camp, and on the 7th aided in bom- barding the Martinites until, on the morning of the 8th inst, not a vestige of Martinism could be found. Political unionism ex- ists in Hutchinson as never be- fore, Even the young man, Walter Page, of whom all of us are proud, ran in from Topeka to vote and made a timely Harsha speech on Monday evening, the 6th. Hon. Alexander Lee de. serves great credit. He madea strong fight for Martin. He called a mass meeting of colored voters at the court house, on the Gth inst, to be addressed by him- self and Maj. Martin; but I say reluctantly, his crowd consisted of but Lee and one othercolored person and a white minister. Pray for Mr. Lee as he is now going with a hung down head and an aching heat.
