THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. IT IS A CURE FOR LYNCHING Historical Society State House VOLUME V. Balie Waggener's Bill Has Put an End to This Business in Kansas That Bed-making Affairs The New York Tribune Administer Strong Dose to Indiana's Chambermaid WICHITA, KAS.—(Special.) J. M. Woods, the Negro arrested at Yates Center on the charge of assaulting a white woman, is now in the Wichita jail. A mob of 300 men with a huge plank approached the door of the Yates Center jail last night, and the sheriff and county attorney, and others of the county officers, faced it with drawn revolvers, threatening to shoot if the mob came any nearer. The mob thought that they meant it, and it would retire only to make another approach. This was kept up until 1 o'clock this morning, when the officers slipped their prisoner out and into a carriage, and drove seveut-en miles, to another railroad, and brought their man to Wichita. The sheriff of Woodson county tried to reach Goveror Bailey by telephone at his residence late last night, but the governor had left for Altamont to attend a high school commencement, H. J. Bone, his secretary, was also absent, on his way home from Wichita. It is supposed that the sheriff desired to make arrangement for calling out the militia in case the Negro prisoner could not be gotten away from the mob. Balie Waggener's new anti-lynching law will go into effect next Tuesday, upon the publication of the statute book. A lynching after that time will be a very serious affair, and participants in one will be punishable the same as for murder in the first degree, and even those who stand and look on without interfering will be subject to a term in the penitentiary. A sheriff who allows a prisoner to be taken from him by a mob also forfeits his office. If he can afterward make a showing that he did everything possible to save the victim the governor may reinstate him, but the provisions of the law are very strict on the subject. The provision of the law relative to calling out the militia makes it the positive duty of the sheriff to notify the governor if he thinks he may be unable to protect the prisoner. This is probably what the sheriff of Woodson county was trying to do last night. The provision reads as follows: "If at any time any sheriff has reason to believe, and does believe that a prisoner in his custody, is in danger of being lynched, and that he with his deputies and assistants, as above provided for, are not able to protect the life of such prisoner without additional help, it shall be his duty to at once, by telegraph or otherwise notify the governor of such facts, and to ask for the aid of the milia of the state to protect such prisoner." Insomuch as the attempted lynching at Yates Center was not successful this new law would not have applied even had it been in force, so far as punishing the participants in the mob is concerned, for there is no provision in it for punishing those who merely attempt mob violence and are not successful. State Journal. THE INDIANA CHAMBERMAID. The Inpianapolis chambermaid who refused to take care of the hotel room occupied by that educated, refined, gentlemanly and eminent citizen of Alabama, Booker T. Washington, is receiving tribute from the sort of people whom we should expect to admire that kind of "self respect." In the list of subscribers for her benefit we should look to find the name of Senator F. M. Simmons, who at the North Carolina society dinner on Wednesday night explained that the whole duty of the Negro was to be "harnessed to the mule." It has been supposed for years that part of the duty of the Negro when the white man went off fighting to keep the Negro in slavery was to stay on the plantation and protect the white women and children, and we never heard of a single Negro who was false to that trust. It was the duty of thousands of Negro women to be the tender and beloved nurses of the white children of the South. It was the duty of the Negroes to be the skilled workmen of the South, to be the preachers of industry and morality to the ignorant mass of their fellows. But now their whole duty is to be harnessed to the mule. Senator Simmons in his ignorant barbarism is like the ill-fated prince of "The White Ship," who swore: "He'd joke the peasant to his own plough." Is that civilization? Is that a reasonable at itude toward a race—to deny it opportunity and then blame it for its degraded condition? Nobody asks social equality for the Negro. All his conservative friends urge him to stay on the plantations, not yoked to a mule like a dumb beast, as Senator Simmons would have him, but living there, where conditions most favor him, a self respecting life of intelligent industry, profitable to himself and to the whole community. That is what Booker T. Washington is trying to make him. If the Negro is hitched to a mule he will struggle on forever in poverty and ignorance, a slave in everything but name, and that apparently is what Senator Simmons wants. Would-the Senator also enjoy being in the furrow behind the yokefellows with a "blacksnake," whipping the mule and Negro with exact impartiality? That is the hope held out to the "good Negro" by this apostle of Southern civilization and missionary in the cause of letting the South, "which understands the Negro," settle his future in its own way. Credit is due Senator Depew for bearding such a slave driver right in the presence of his sympathizers. His tribute to General Armstrong and his noted pupil, Booker Washington, was noble and inspiring. The contrast between the Simmons scheme of making ser.s, and the Washington scheme of making men—useful, industrious, modest, self-respecting men—was one which shamed even the North Carolinians. They had applauded the mule driver, who wanted more beasts, but in turn they cheered Senator Depew and his prescription for the solution of the race problem for the benefit of both whites and blacks. The Simmons prescription seems to spring from a desire to keep the Negroes degraded as possible and hold him by terror from becoming a dangerous criminal. The Washington practice is to raise him up morally and industrially so that he may have no temptation to crime, but may, however humble, be a worthy and respected citizen. All the rowdy elements in the south are aroused against Washington because they do not want to see the Negro prosperous and respected. They complain that the blacks are worthless, but they want to keep them so, and they want to discourage all efforts to improve them. That is the real secret of the Texas meeting to honor the Indianapolis chambermaid, whose "self-respect" forbade her to make the bed of the gentleman whom Queen Victoria found pleasure and profit in meeting. Booker Washington wants no social recognition. He is doing his work in simplicity, earnestness and patriotic spirit, and those who rejoice to insult him merely show their own inferiority. The colognis of the chambermaid whose "self-respect" is so keen that she cannot make Booker Washington's bed, but is ready to abandon her own child, probably never thought themselves degraded by drinking from black breasts or being nursed in a black mammy's arms. Some of them would not find it so impossible to come in contact with Negroes even in their mature years, provided only the contact was one which left the Negro more degraded than before. It is only a relationship which tends to the elevation of the Negro that this class of the "superior race" find disgusting, perhaps because they realize that even the lowest Negro could hardly rise without being higher than themselves.—N. Y. Tribune. The Kerre's Day of Sorrow Referring again to the recent tendency of the discussion of the Negro question, Rev. Dr. Newell Dwight TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 5, 1903. 4,000 HOMELESS IN TOPEKA! Treacherous Kaw Floods Kansas—Terrible Disaster to Lives and Property! Water is Falling Fast and People are Preparing to Rebuild Their Homes--Farmers Will Get to Work Immediately and Despite the Flood, Raise a Good Crop. Hillis said in Plymouth church, Brooklyn: "Just now the whole country is suffering from a reaction on the Negro question. The Negro has known a month of such depression and sorrow and heartache as it has not known in forty years. "And there is reason for the depression. Consider the Presbyterian preacher in New York who said last week that the emancipation of the slaves was like the release of criminals from the penitentiary, and said that the future of the 'nigger' was blacker and blacker and more hopeless. "In 1866 Mr. Beecher said here that we must insist upon the suffrage for the Negro; that races, like children, are trained by responsibility; that the poorest government of an ignorant man who governs himself is better than the best government that is imposed upon him with out. Mr. Beecher said also that in view of two centuries of injustice and slavery it might take a century before we could see the outcropping of an occasional orator, an occasional Negro educator. What if Mr. Beecher could return today? He would find that the greatest orator, from many points of view, in the country is a black man. And a black man to-day receives from $150 to $200 a night, and there is only one other man in the country who receives as much. 'But the Negroes are needlessly alarmed. The reaction from the South itself. All the enemies of liberty, whether they want to or not, have to help the forces of liberty." 4,000 HO Treacherous Ka aster Water is Falling Fast Homes--Farmers Despite The flood in Kansas has caused the loss of millions of dollars to property, real and personal and also many lives. Crops in the low lands have been completely destroyed. Only the Indians can recall the time when the angry waters of the treacherous Kaw extended so widely over the low lands of Kansas. This was perhaps half a century ago, and to have heard them relate the story as late as last Friday afternoon, one would have taken it to be a fairy tale—an ideal dream, but before 6 o'clock that evening the story of the "Noble Reds" was a reality; the history of long ago had repeated itself. The two rivers, the Smokey Hill and Republican, which form the Kansas river, and the Blue which contributes to these streams have been out of their banks for several days. A cloud burst, which occurred up the river, has continued to send the waters higher, and last Friday, the people on the North side never realized the impending danger until about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when Soldier creek began to overflow and send her waters South. At 5 o'clock every street in North Topeka was under three feet of water. Then the real danger was realized. Every available vehicle in the city was pressed into service, but it was too late to rescue 4,000 people. The water had cut off all communication on the South side of the river on Crane street. Water was running at a terrific speed down this street to Madison, and the people were gotten out as hurriedly as possible. Wolfe's packing house from Second street, looked like a big ship in mid-ocean. Everything possible was done Saturday to rescue the people men faced death to save the unfortunates. The water extended from the Chesterfield hotel five miles North to the bluffs. It was a roaring sea—people made to the hills, some taking refuge in trees and upon freight cars. Water stood ten and twenty feet deep in the street. Most of the farmers in the Kaw bottoms saved their lives. Mr. Robert Keith was reported to BIG COAL COMPANY IS BOOMING! Each Day Brings an Application for Stock. The Stocks are Going Rapidly, and Those Desiring Shares Will Have to Hurry. Each day brings a new subscriber for stock in the big Coal and Development company. The people can see that it is a sure thing, and a venture that will yield profitable returns, and they are not hesitating about taking hold of it. Had it not been for the present flood which has interfered with the mail service, the six hundred shares would have been nearly closed out. As it is, a few more are yet left on hand, which can be secured by those who get in on time. It is the opportunity of a life time, one which the Negro should not permit to escape. Remember, there is only room for a few more and you'll have to hurry. The following persons have been enrolled during the past few days: Pittsburg—A. D. Turner. Lansing—P. E. Tipton. Strong City—Nelson Pennington, Mayme Lewell, Preston Anderson, A. L. Cain, Chas. Johnson. HUMELESS IN New Floods Kansas to Lives and Pro and People are Prepa Will Get to Work the Flood, Raise a Go have been drowned, but we have it from a reliable source that he and his wife made to the bluffs on the North and were saved. The greatest sight was East of Oakland. A look East for two miles was a solid mass of roaring water, and houses, horses, cattle and goods of every description floating down the river, is a sight that never can be forgotten. The people East of Oakland saved the most of their stock. Those in one-story houses suffered more from the waters than others. Charity is being extended to the people in every nook and corner in Topeka—everybody is doing their duty. The merchants, laborers and all on the South side are doing all they can to make it comfortable for the unfortunates. Thousands of dollars are being contributed by the citizens of Topeka, and up to this writing (Wednesday) no out-side help has been received although it is needed badly. The districts flooded are the richest portions of the state—the finest soil and people to be found anywhere. They are an industrious class of people, and as soon as the waters subside, they will begin to rebuild and repair their homes; forgetting the past, which may not occur again in a thousand years. People must remember that we must have our share of the calamities in this world to make us remember that we are not independent of one another. The man with his millions was as much under obligation to the man who was poor and could handle a boat, as he was to anyone similarly situated. The color line was erased—white ladies and gentlemen were as courteous to the colored people as could be, and our brave young colored men faced death in trying to rescue their white friends as well as colored, and the brave whites did the same thing. It was not a question of color, but a battle to save human life. The best people, irrespective of conditions live in Topeka and Kansas, and no person within their reach is permitted to want for the sustenance of life. Too much praise cannot be given Emporia—Dr. Coleman, William St. Clair, Mr. Ray, Alex. Collier, P. E. Lewis. Burlingame—Geo Irvine, H. T. Austin, Thomas Williams. Topeka--Rev. C. H. Richardson. Carbondale—John Wilson. Osage City—Rev. G. J. Raimey, Samuel Lyons. A Negro sold As a Slave. The grand jury of the United States court at Montgomery, Ala., has found a true bill against Robert N. Franklin, a white citizen of Goodwater, Ala., charged with having sold Joseph Patterson, an ignorant Negro, to J. W. Pace, a wealthy land owner of Tallapoosa county, into a condition of peonage, or involuntary servitude. The Negro borrowed $1 from Franklin, promising to pay it back the next day. He failed to do so. He was arrested, convicted and fined for obtaining money under false pretenses. He was sold, it is said, for $25, to Mr. Hordy, who worked him a year and then sold him to Mr. Pace, who has been working him ever since. Secret service men are working up the case and it is said many more developments will follow, with the arrests of white men. It is stated that many more Negroes are still in servitude in three or four counties of this state. TOPEKA! Uses—Terrible Dis- property! rring to Rebuild Their Immediately and good Crop. A. M. Cook, at 302 Popular street for rescuing several people in Oakland, and afterwards hauled his boat one mile to the East and rescued L. B. Chiles and family; the Bryant family and others. Robert Haggard rescued the Kimball girls, Miss Troutman and father Saturday when all others failed. He was rewarded $150 for this heroic deed. A. P. Roundtree was one of the bravest boys on the river, did heroic work and many persons owe him their lives. Freeman Sardou was the first man to take rations to the sufferers on the North side. He rescued several people, landing them at his place when people least expected what was going on. O. M. Capron and Robert Campbell were the heroes of the North side. They landed a number of people safely in two-story buildings Saturday and Sunday. Several people owe these men their lives. Ed. McLenan and — Parsons, of State Journal, had the signal boat far the distressed. They prowled all over North Topeka, and kept the people posted on what was needed. Their services were invaluable, and the people owe them everlasting gratitude. There are several brave men whom we can't call to memory at this writing, but will mention them later on. The following is a partial list of those who are stopping at temporary quarters: ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH. Rev. Mr. U. P. Green, Mrs. N. Green, Mrs. E.

In view of the terrible calamity that has come to our state in the floods that are now sweeping with destructive force through the valleys, which, but a few hours since were rich with promise and filled with happy and contented people, resulting in loss of life and destruction of property, the extent of which cannot be estimated, but the magnitude of which is appalling, I, W. J. Bailey, Governor of the state of Kansas, do make this statement and appeal The devastation and ruin is without precedent in the history of the commonwealth and has seldom been equalled anywhere. From Salina to Kansas City for 200 miles, the fertile valley of the Kaw is laid waste. No accurate estimate of the loss of human life can be made at this time but it will probably reach into the hundreds. The property loss will be measured by millions and the suffering and privation is beyond description. In Topeka alone, ten thousand people are homeless, and in many cases the entire accumulations of a lifetime have been swept away by the angry floods. At Kansas City the same conditions obtain. In every village and hamlet through this rich stretch of territory, property has been destroyed, families made homeless, and in other portions of the state great losses and suffering have occurred. It is a condition that will appeal with great force to the citizens of our state who are not the immediate sufferers from this great calamity. It is the hour of need, when every contribution will be a benediction to the donor. I suggest that subscriptions be started in every community within the state and an opportunity be given to everyone to contribute to and help our unfortunate and suffering neighbors. To those outside the state upon whom a kind Providence has smiled through years of prosperity, whose charity is not bounded by acquaintance or geography, I appeal in the name of those made homeless by this misfortune, and to whom assistance, be it ever so little, will mean much. The brave, generous people of Kansas will respond to this call to the full limit of their ability, but the magnitude of this terrible calamity appeals to the humanity and charity of men everywhere. I hereby name Hon, William Sims, president of the First National bank of Topeka, Kansas, as the proper person to whom all subscriptions shall be sent, and he is authorized to receipt for the same. The money to be distributed by a committee to be selected, representing the different sections that are suffering as a result of the flood, and I pledge the good name of the state that every dollar so contributed shall be used to relieve the suffering and to help those most in-need. In Witness Whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state on the day and year above written. [SPAL] W J BAILEY FROST STATES SITUATION IN TOPEKA. The loss and injury at Topeka and vicinity from the flood are more serious than was at first anticipated. About 10,000 people have been driven from their homes in this immediate vicinity. A large percentage of them have lost all their possessions and all have lost heavily. The property loss in this valley includes the entire crop of the season for the farmers and nearly all their live stock. Barns and outbuildings on submerged farms are generally gone and many houses are destroyed both in the city and the country. The people cannot return to their homes for a long time yet, and many of them must have aid for weeks and perhaps months. Our people have contributed genously to aid the stricken, but the NUMBER 22.

We will be glad to receive contributions from those disposed to help. Remittances for flood sufferers in Topeka and vicinity may be made to F.M. Bonebrake, Treasurer of Flood Relief Committee. JNO.E.FROST. President Comm-ricial Club. TO THE LODGES. A majority of the members of Kaw Valley Lodge No. 18, A. F. & A. M., lived on the North side of the river, and also St. Luke's Temple No. 5, and the Tabernacle and Tent of the International Order of Twelve, The True Eleven and the Benevolent society carried a large membership in the flooded district. If any of the sister lodges connected with the above named orders care to contribute individually or collectively, send money order or check with instructions and where to place it, and we will see that it gets into the hands desired. Several thousand people are homeless, and aid is needed to feed and clothe the people until they can return to their homes. The water is falling rapidly but it will be quite a while before people can inhabit the North side. Some of their houses and furniture was completely washed away: The Slave Of Two Presidents "Mammy" Bates, ex-slave and servant in the families of two Presidents—John Adams and James Monroe—was buried last week, from the Lincoln hospital, New York. She would have been 104 years old September 1. Friday afternoon after sewing she went to the dormitory to take a nap. "I'll take a little sleep," she said to one of the inmates. "Be sure and wake me up when the supper bell rings." When the supper bell rang an attempt was made to rouse "Mammy," but she was dead. Her full name was Eva Bates, and she was born in Flushing, N. Y., of slave parents. When a young woman she went into the employ of the family of John Adams, and after he died she was a servant in the family of James Monroe. IT'S A FINE ORGANIZATION The Knights and Ladies of Protection are now chartered and ready to do business. Col James Beck, of Lawrence, Kansas, is president, J G. Groves, the great potato king, is the treasurer. This is a fraternal insurance order, and is the first one established in the West by the Negroes. Organizers will be sent out in a few days to set up local branches. Beware of fakes. This order is now fraternized by all the white fraternal orders in the U. S. These gentlemen have spent much time and money putting this order in proper shape. They are men who have demonstrated their business capacity by doing that which builds up the commercial world and works for the laboring classes. Look for them! Who? The K. and L of P. Notice. On account of the recent floods in the low districts throughout the state of Kansas, the State Sunday School Convention that should have met the 24th of June, at Ottawa, will be postponed until the 15th day of July at 2 o'clock p. m., 1903.

With but little warning the rivers rose over the Jow land: occupied by the gardeners in the Kaw valley and by the laborer: in Topeka and Kansas City dur- ing the past few days, and thousands have been rendered homeless. Many frugal and eco- nomical laborers have seen the savings of a life time swept away in a few short hours. in Topeka and Kansas City the low lands were occupied by thousands of Negroes. They are without shelter and are de- pendent upon the mercies of the various relief committees. The white people, without distinction are giving from their means to the relief of the poor and desti- tute. Tis PLAINDEALER appeals to the Negroes all over America to send something to help. Every colored lodge should contribute to the relief of these people. All monies should be sent to the Relief Committee, and as far as possible will be acknowledged and published in the daily and weekly papers. We asa people cannot afford to be behind. All monies received by the com- mittees are used for the relief of the destitute regardless of race. Work Together in Peace. In a business way, Negroes must learn to work together in peace. No one Negro can hope to have in his head all the brains of his little world. He must feel and believe that there are others,and that the success of one Negro in bus'ness precludes the possibility of others. If one Negro can succeed, others can. We say thisto the men of the race who are busy just now trying to organize mutual co- operative companies by tearing down one another. That kind of business won't pay. THE PLAINDEALER has the best of feeling for all our people in business, and we want more Negroes to engage in busines: and suczeed. We are ready, and willing as we always have been to do what we can to pro- mote the success of every legiti- mate Negro business enterprise. So boys, stop quarreling and uss your energies in making 2 business. Struggling races cannot afford to quarrel among themselves. Get a good name, get moncy, get business, get religion, but above all, get stock in a land company. ~ The ‘‘race leaders” who are long on ‘‘advice’’ and short when it comes to performing manual labor themselves, should be relegated to the rear, A clean yard, a few flowers judiciously placed and neat fences add much to the value of your Property. Have you thought about it? Don’t waste time saying there is no place for you because you can’t get into a bank, a mercan- tile place, or the state house. Go out into the country, Kansas needs 20,000 harvest hands this year. Topeka has three Negro insti- tutions employing twenty-one Negroes and paying a weekly salary roll of one hundred and sixty-eight dollars. Can any town beat this, in proportion to population? The officers and rescuers doing duty on the North side have been ordered to shoot any person caught looting the houses of the flood victims. This is the proper thing and should be carried out ‘to the letter. W. B. Townsend's Pueblo (Colo.) Standard is one of the best edited papers that comes to this office. Every paragraph is keen, to the point, and cuts like ja knife. Let the good work continue Bro. Townsend. There will be plenty of work and as soon as school is out, don't permit that big lazy boy to loaf; see that he grabs a shovel and goes to work. The Negro can't afford to permit his children to grow up in idleness. Balie Waggoner s_antt-lynch law has proven to be a cure for these lawless outrages in Kansas; even before it has been pub- lished in the statute books which makes it alaw. Oh, that other states had Democrats like Balie Waggoner! | The (2,000 plurality given Victor Murdock, Republican can- didate for Congress in the big Seventh district, is but a just recognition of one of the state's brightest men. Victor Murdock will make a record in Congress of which all Kansas will be proud. The citizens of Topeka, irre- spective of color, have responded nobly in administering to the wants of the flood sufferers. The homes, from the humblest to the most wealthy, were thrown open to black and white alike. Ne city on earth could treat theit unfortunates better than hospi- table old Topeka. As soon as the flood subsides there will be a great demand for men to work. There will be nc excuse for loafers, and the authorities should see that the ‘buttonhole _politicians,"’ pro- fessional loafers, etc., are put to work. These big street corner meetings—a lot of loafers dis. cussing the political outlook and other questions, are a menace to the community! | The newspapers outside the Second district are still trying to select a Congressman for the people of that district. The Pleasanton Herald and the La Cygne Journal, two of the most influential papers in the district have called a halt, and give it out cold and flat that the people don't want a change, and that at the proper time Mr. Bower- sock will be nominated again. | Perhaps’ Gene Latimer and Bruce ‘Dennis know whereof they speak, ‘Who can tell? Mrs. Douglas Robinson, of New York, sister of President Roosevelt, has taken an interest in William Pickens, Yale's Negro prize orator, and has written him a letter to quire about his finances and his plans. Miss Lucy G. Giles of Newport, R. I, gave Pickens a valuable diamond pin recently when he went to that city to read Negro dialect stories, and the same day was printed the fact an an- onymous ‘well wisher'’ sent Pickens $150 in three fifty gold certificates.—St Louis Republic. It's queer how some little insignificant sheets with about two dozen readers, try to get papers with prestige to notice their attacks upon them. No paper with a “coat pocket" circulation and a column and a half of matter scattered around ‘a lot of ofd worn out patent medicine cuts, has no business trying to attract the attention of THE PLAINDEALER. We have 3500 paid up subscribers, and to notice them would be an insult to our large and increasing family of readers. Over in St. Joseph, Mo., The ‘Spectator, Prof, Jones's paper, aud the churches seem to be having a regular parrot and monkey time. We do not under- stand the situation nor do we desire to “but in,’ but one thing we do know and that is that very little progress is made in a community where Negroes wrangle as much as they do in St. Joseph. In that moss-back den of prejudice where a Negro is not permitted to engage in the same class of business as white men, it will require the united effort of the pulpit, press and all their followers to place them into the good graces of the overly prejudiced whites, in order that they may be treated as men and citizens. THE PLAINDEALER believes it would be more profit- able for all partizs concerned to bury the hatchet—handle and all, and unite in some effort to establish a business enterprise that will give employment to the youth of their community. 4,000 HOMELESS IN TOPEKA!

The approaches of theMelan bridge were washed out. ‘The Rock Island yards are greatly damaged. The river has cut a large channel through North Topeka. A large number of colored people are still in B. street Baptist church. Mrs, Kertchervil is safe in her two- story house on Van Buren street. We have not been able to hear the particulars from North Lawrence and Kansas City, Kas., but the los otlife at these places, if any, has been small. Peggy Chirk, an old colored widow who lived on West Railroad street, Is supposed to have been drowned. She lived alone and was known to have been in her house when the flood commenced. Nothing has been heard of her. Definite information was receivec last night that Simon Taylor, an ol Negro 70 years of age, was drownec in the flood Friday evening. Hez Taylor, son of Simon Taylor, stateu to Frank Beech tliat he and his fath. erdid not leave their house until late Friday evening. ‘The water was so deep then that they were rot able to reach the B Street Baptist Church the place for which they had start- ed. Young Taylor said he becamt separated from his father just this side of the Kuehne pickling works, and that he saw him float away. As he was an old man not strong he feels sure he was drowned. Old man Taylor tended a small garden above the Kuehne pickling works. Miss Mary Puryear, who was brought over from the B Street Bap tist church, and who is now at the relief station at the old court house, reports the death of her sister, Miss Minnie L. Puryear, and of Miss Nellie Watson. They were in a party who attempted to reach the B Street church Friday night. Miss Puryear says her sister and Miss Watson stepped into a deep plac: and were carried away from the party. Both of the young women were colored, . Mrs. Tilda watson and Mra. Minnie King, both colored, were drowned Saturday while an attempt was being made to take them from a building on Clay street. A. May- weather saw the boat im which they were taken capsize. He saw the women go under farther down the stream and as they were not seen again it Is supposed they surely drowned. Inquiry has failed to disclose the names of any such per- sons at the relief stations. Mrs. Watson was about Go years old and Mrs. King about 22. She was mar- ‘ied but a short time ago. A. Mayweather, a colored man, who was brought over from the B Street Baptist church, reported the feath of three persons who were jrowned within his own sight. These three persous, all of them colored, are Mrs. Sallie Halyard, ged 80 years, Mrs. Kennedy, aged 0 «nd James Phillips, a boy aged sbout 17 years. Mayweather lived alone at h's home on Clay street and had taken these three persons in his home for protection when the water began to rise. The house was only one story high, but he thought it sufficient for their safety. When the water began to rise more, Mayweath- er started to cut a_ hole through the roof and while he was doing this the table,on which the three persons were standing on below, overturned. Allthree were drowned, and Mr. Mayweather says their bodies are still in his house. Mayweather was taken from the roof of the building by a rescue party the next day. George Long, the blacksmith, and wife were rescued on Wednesday, having been imprisoned with nine- teen others in the little church ou Fillmore street. He had to knock the benches apart to build platforms to elevate them above the water. One old gentleman twice rolled off into six feet of water, while asleep. i ?, ‘a Kohl's Laxative Tablets Foaltively Cure Constipation, iitiens- Hesm bleh Meadsche nod "any Fiver Geers fata Toany person sending on 10 cent fn stamps to e an ame ofove ot more rests needing the medicine we will send 3 50 Cent Box Free. ‘This famous preparation will abso- lately cure the worst case of consti- pation.

(eee will prepare to entertain SS ee err eer Deen favored with a number of dailliant addresses by Pres. Allen; notably, the much talked of one Defore the District Conference, and one in Loman’s Opera house at the closing exercises of the Jefferson City Public School, on which occasion he delivered an tloguent and forcefnl address, and presented the diplomas to the graduates. A series of morning talks by President Allen, on the great poems of American literature, and mythological lore, and seve- zal Sunday afternoon addresses, have been especially enjoyable to students and teachers. The closing exercises of the Model school connected with the Institute took place Wednesday evening, May 20, Prof. J.Silone- Yates, supervisor; Misses Hill- iard and Pigeon, directors, assist- ed by the Senior class. A large audience assembled to greet the little ones, who presented a charming picture of innocent childhood and carried off their honors in a manner that would have been very creditable to much older pupils. Their diffi- cult drill work, very perfectly executed, their recitations, pos- es, solos, choruses, etc., elicited rounds of applause. A picnic on the Saturday following closed the work of this department for the year. The Model School is one of the most important of the many deparments of Lincoln Institute, as, inthe five grades taught, the stadents of the senior Normal tlass work fora year under the ‘supervision of the Department of Pedagogy and thus practically have one year’s experience ir teaching previous to graduating. Principals of schools with whom these graduates may work wil! Aighly appreciate this important fact.

EpITOR PLAINDEALER; Dear Sir:—I have been read- ing your paper lately, and as an American Negro and citizen I feel it my duty to speak a few words of encouragement to our fallen race. 1 feel asif we have been asleep and the time had come now, that we had better be awake, for it seems as if we are almost devoured by the enemy. It seems as if the bands of Satan have been turned loose upon our down trodden race. What we need as a race is more union, for in union there is strength; and more confidencein each other; and instead of trying to down each other, try to hold leach other up. And quit talking about colored neighbors to the white people. They know too much about our business now, for we often give them a stick to break our own heads. The out- tages that have already occured upon our race are a shame and disgrace to the people of the United States What are the United States laws? Where are they? Have we no laws in this country? Are we to live as the wild heathen of the jungles? Are not the people civilized in thi: country? Isita fact that th poor blacks cannot have home: in this country affer they hav worked hard and patd out thei hardearned dollars for them; anc that we are to be driven fron our homes as the cattle from th hills, after we have been giver the rights of citizens by the so called laws of this country? If the people of this countr, did aot intend to treat the Ne gro aSahuman, why did the; jever bring him to this country |For he came not of his own fre: will. He was simply fooled an stolen to this country. But sinc the has been here, who has bee! |more loyal and true to the coun |try and the flag than the Negro There is none. |} In this country there are seve ral nationalities—the Negro, th Indian, Chinaman, Japanese an jothers. But when trouble come up in this country who of thes | nationalities is first called upo :|forhelp? The Negro, of course 1 Who is it that is sent to fron the hardest battles in the was | The Negro. Who does most « '/ the manual labor of this countr and gets the least credit? Th ‘|Negro. Which is the easies {nationality to satisfy, in thi jjcountry? The Negro. Whois: that gets the worse treatmer for being true, loyal, law-abid jing citizens?’ The Negro. I Jevery case we find that the Ne {gro is getting the worst of it. I -{our mixed schools and at ourls bor, and even in our Chiitiaa affairs, we are getting the worst of it. There is a book now print- ed denouncing the Negro as a beast. It is entitled: “The Ne- gro a Beast;’’ and it claims that the Negro has no soul and that he is the same as other beasts. But the time is coming soon, when God shall roll back the clouds of mist from over the black man’s head and he shall let his light shine down upon us, and we shall see clearly. And whenever we can all see alike there will be a different move. ment in this country, for the Ne- jero 1s getting wiser every day andbegins to see more clearly the workings of the enemy. The white man sees that he can no longer fool the Negre, and the only way he can keep him down is to treat him cruelly and cow him down. Let all true Negroes of the race organize themselves together in bands and whenever these outrages occur, protect themselves, for it seems we have no laws of protection in thi: country. We are simply driver around as dogs. But I can say that we find one white man of the South with ; heart—Judge Powell, of Missis |sippi. He denounces the white {cap murderers of the South. Hi [says the strong arm of the lav ‘yean reach them. This good mai |seems to look down upon ou downtrodden race with an eye o pity and a heart full of sympa thy. Oh, that there were mor |men like Judge Powell. | Joun Hucues. EMPORIA, KAN. Miss Ella Carson is reported quite sick at this writing.
