THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. VOLUME V. TROUBLES OF A. H. Henderson Brings a Few Things to Light in Relation to His and Rev. White's Troubles The Council Indorses Mr. Henderson and Condemns Rev. White's Action. TOPEKA, Kas., 10-23, '03.—An exprate council called by Bro. A. H. Henderson convened at the Second Baptist church this day at a o'clock. Rev. J. W. Price opened by reading a part of the Eighteenth chapter of Matthew. The brethren then sang, "Am I a Soldier of the Cross," prayer by Rev. A.B. Stoner, hymn, "Did Christ O'er Sinners Weep," prayer by Rev. W. M. Woodfork. The following brethren represented: Rev. W. M. Woodfork, Second Baptist church, Topeka. Rev. J. W. Price, First Baptist church, Dunlap. Rev. A. B. Stoner, New Hope, Baptist church, Topeka. Rev. W. M. Lee, Mount Zion Baptist church, Topeka. Rev. E. R. Johnson, Second Baptist church, Larned. The call of the council was read and adopted. On motion, Bro. Henderson was heard relative to his exclusion from the B street Baptist church of North Topeka. An appeal made to the B street church by Bro. Henderson dated 9-6 '03, asking for a hearing, which was denied by the church, was read before the council. A petition signed by sixty-five members of the B street church praying the church to call a mutual council to hear Bro. Henderson's case, which had been presented to said church and denied, was also read. A motion prevailed that the council consider the injustice of Bro. Henderson's exclusion from the B street Baptist church. The motion prevailed and the council requests the B street church to give Bro. Henderson a rehearing. By motion, a committee was appointed to put the sentiments of the council in a fitting resolution. The following resolution was reported and adopted and ordered printed in THE PLAINDEALER, and a copy given to Bro. Henderson. RESOLUTION. Whereas; We find by the testimony of Bro. Henderson and eleven witnesses, now members of the B street Baptist church in good and regular standing, that Bro. Henderson has not had a fair and impartial hearing, and this council believes Bro. Henderson has been unjustly excluded from said church: Resolved; That the council believes the B street church has been hasty and misguided in their action, and that we request and advise that in keeping with Baptist discipline and the gospel of peace, the gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, that the B street Baptist church give Bro. Henderson a fair and impartial hearing. HENDERSON TALKS. The above is a copy of the action taken by the exparte council which met at the Second Baptist church, listening to a matter between A. H. Henderson and Rev. White, pastor of said church. This copy was handed in to the church board by myself last Thursday night, but Rev. TOPEKA, KANSAS. FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 6, 1903. TURNED DOWN NEGRO FOOT BALL PLAYER! Parsons Students Show Their Dense Ignorance! The New Insane Asylum is Located in the Proper Place to Take Proper Care of Them. PARSONS, KAN. The football team of the Parsons Business college has refused to play the game which was scheduled for today at Neodesha because Neodesha has a negro on its team.—Dally Sun. The above shows to what extremes "little concerns and "little" people can go. They can not gain notoriously by doing great things; for instance to win all games played would be doing a great thing for a football team hence this little dirty football team must stoop to the small things. It very littleness has called it into notice. I have heard of this now wonderful team in a vague sort of way but now it has made itself conspicuous forged itself to the front, (not by the number of games won) has ceased to be an unknown quantity, and has blossomed forth into notoriety. All done by being little. Of course it is safe to presume that just one more 0 would have been added to their little score had they played the team who had a negro as one of its members. And perhaps that's the sum total of their refusal to play. A little cowardice makes people do queen things, P. B. C. football队 notwithstanding. I have not the least doubt but that the personel of this now famous, all important team comes from such metropolitan places as Edna, Altamonte Ladore, Mound City, Labette and such like. (N. B.—By looking on railroad maps these places may be located, as they are ignored by all maps save railroad maps.) I feel safe in saying that if there is a negro on that team he is there for me it alone. Perhaps this little P. B. C. team recognizes this fact. I suppose now this mighty team feels as big as everybody and two over, since it refused to play with a negro. Their self-consciousness must be as boundless as a mother's love. Too bad I can't be communicated to sensible people. Self-opinionated? Decidedly. I don't know much about this business college nor the rest of the students, but if this football team is a fair sample, I pity the rest. The action of this team forces me to believe a remark made by a former high school teacher that you weren't required to know anything when you entered a business college and it was not an absolute necessity that you know anything when you left. This very important team forces me to believe it. Hurrah for the P. B. C. football team. They are "it"—NIT. NEWTON, KAN. Last Friday night was the second annual banquet of the Harvey County Republicana. Though the rain fell it torrents it did not keep the crowd from attending.

Porter Visits the Creek Nation and Writes of the Negro's Golden Opportunities in That Country. He Lauds the People of That Section and Urges Westerners to go There These are not "pipe dreams" but cold facts. The writer was in Eupala, Muskogee, Boynton, Okmulgee, Henrietta, Wild Cat, the Negro town, Coweta and Fort Gibson, and in each place met and talked with Negroes who were actually doing the things referred to. Each of these places offer an opportunity for Negroes with a little money and much manhood, pluck, brains and perseverence. The object of this article is to urge the Negroes of Kansas, Missouri and the West to go to the Indian Territory; go taking the vim and energy of the West. Take Western ideas of farming---sow wheat, grow a good grade of cattle, horses, hogs and chickens, sell eggs, maintain a family from the sale of these products and get rich from the sale of other farm products. THE NEGRO'S LAST CHANCE The timber lands abound with hickory, oak, walnut, pecan and ash. Such walnut logs as are being shipped from that section excite the wonder of all who have lived in the older sections where such sights are things of the past. This land is not to be bought now except by endless red tape, but may be leased on five years time at the rate fifty cents per acre or farmed on shares. After January 1, 1906, 120 acres of each 160 may be sold. The native Negroes are desirous of leasing and selling when they can to Negroes. Many of the farmed leases to whites--farmers and cattle raisers are expiring and the universal sentiment is to refuse to renew these leases, but to fill the country with intelligent, industrious Negro farmers from the states. Now, we as a race are given to bewailing our fate, pleading for opportunity, but here is opportunity coming to meet us, and the legend tells us that opportunity has a single lock of hair on his forehead by which we may grasp him as we meet. Once past us, all hope of holding him is gone. So in the next few years when this rich country is developed there will doubtless be many who will regret the present neglected chance. There are two distinct waves, one from Dixie, the other Northland. The Southern Negro is all right but the Southern white man from Arkansas, Texas and Mississippi is not usually desirable from any point of view. The wave from the North must be swelled, especially more Northern Negroes, and it was with surprise and shame that more were not seen in the Creek Nation. Men of Kansas, will you sit by on the very borer of this country and not assert your manhood and faith in the future? You are continually asking for openings for your educated girls and boys. Here is the place. Open up these mines, sink oil wells, start cotton gins, launch into various business enterprises and the problem solves itself, for help is needed and what else but employ your own? After 1906 tribal relations cease and then comes at least Territorial, if not state government. Counties must be organized, county seats located, school districts laid out, taxes levied and teachers employed Contained on Page Two. published at Topeka, Shawnee county, Kas. every Friday morning by I THE PLAINDEALER PUBLISHING CO. 812 EAST SEVENTH STREET.

FRIDAY, NOV., 6, 1903. The election in New York last Tuesday has no significance of what is to happen in 1904. This is merely a local matter in which there was a great contest for spoils. The Republicans need not be alarmed for New York will be in line for Roosevelt in 1904. It seems that old Maryland is trying to swink into the Republican columns in 1904. If we could abolish the shotgun policy of Kentucky, Roosevelt would capture that, but bullets have a great terror for those who want to do right. We hope the Republicans will at least attempt to do something while they have control of both houses in Congress and the president, toward enacting some law where every American citizen can cast a ballot and have it counted. If nothing more than the supervision of the election of congressmen and presidents controlled by the government of the United States would go a long ways toward bringing about the desired results. The first public piano recital of the year was given by Prof. R. G. Jackson at Western University, Quindaro, Kas., October 23, to a very large and appreciative audience. Prof. Jackson was at his best and even those who did not really understand music swayed to the beauty of the sweet strains that swelled from the instrument at the touch of his fingers. Prof. Jackson was assisted by Miss Bertha Cole, and Mrs. Sallie Jackson, sopranos, John Cole, tenor, Miss Beulah Corneal, piano, all of whom performed exceedingly well. Miss Cole has a promising sweet soprano voice and as she sang one felt that some sweet song bird had bursted forth in a stran of exultation. The beauty of the music was enhanced by the decorations which were unique and beautiful, being entirely from nature's own products. The study in which the music was rendered was a bower of variegated autumn leaves lighted by soft shaded lights and one imagined he had wandered into some fairy haunt when first he gazed upon the scene and heard the sweet strains of music wafted therefrom. The unique idea was conceived and put into execution by Miss Lona Troutman, one of Prof. Jackson's students. The music department is in the most promising condition this year that the school history can boast of and Prof. Jackson is earnestly laboring to make his work reach the high standard which only the best attain. Besides the piano students, he has large, studious classes in harmony and vocal music. Seminary for music students is held once a week and very interesting programs are rendered.

Address: AGENTS WANTED Write for Terms and Particulars NELSON M'F'G CO., Richmond, Va. There are several coal mines in operation, chief of which is the Topeka and Indian Territory Land, Coal and Development company, and the sensation of visiting a mine operated upon land owned by a Negro in which every officer, superintendent and workman is a Negro, was an inspiration. Coal of an excellent quality is being mined daily. Orders for three times the present capacity are in. The great trouble is lack of funds to get the mine on big paying basis. Why will the Negro halt and wait while the world moves on? With $300 paid in per month on this stock, the work could be pushed, diggers put at work, cars purchased, track laid, houses erected for workmen and within the next six month the mine would be clearing $1000 per month. White men are operating mines within 300 yards of this and getting rich. Today, if white men were permitted to purchase shares in this company, every remaining share can be disposed of in this town of Pittsburg. Is it possible that the directors will have to resort to this plan to secure necessary funds? This enterprise is no skin game; no chance for such a thing. The lease has been approved by the approved by the Secretary of Interrior as has the bond for faithful performance of obligations on part of the company. No one man runs the company and any assertion of such nature is conceived in malice and born of falsehood. It is the desire of Negroes to see an enterprise successfully operated for and by Negroes. Investigate and then invest five dollars per month and if within five months you are not pleased the writer is sadly mistaken. Do not fail to go through the Indian Territory and see for yourself for there are opportunities there for the farmer, artisan and professional Negro that the United States has never before nor will ever again offer.

Wilson and family for the last month, left for his home last Thursday Rev. Reynolds is one of Kentucky's most brilliant and eminent divines, and during his stay in our city, he delivered appreciative audiences, some very interesting and eloquent sermons. The people of Olathe have the highest regard for Rev. Reynolds, and hope he will come again. Mrs. Inez Wilson very pleasantly entertained Wednesday evening in honor of Rev. Reynolds. The evening was spent in music and other amusements. At a late hour an elegant course supper was served. Assisting Mrs. Wilson were Mesdames Clarke, Moore, Greene and Misses Johnson and Crump. Mrs. Mary Hudson and Mrs. Rollins are among the sick. Fred Hudson, of Kansas City, and Clarence Hudson, of Paola, Kas., spent Sunday with their mother Mrs. Mary Hudson. Mrs. L.

Mrs. Florence McCall, who has been visiting her sister Mrs. Baker, will return to her home in South McAlester, I. T., this week. IOLA. KAS. A reception was given last Tuesday evening, Oct. 27, at the home of Mrs. Geo. Coker 507 North Walnut St., in honor of Misses Dora Ellis, Lulu Beatty and Mattie Brigam, who departed Wednesday morning for Oklahoma where they will teach school. The reception was given by Misses Roxie Brown, Mattie Ewell, Mary Ailscock, Edna Banks, Rosie Ewell and Edna Berry, and was a grand affair. Everyone enjoyed themselves and asked the entertainers when they could come again. In addition to the three above mentioned Ella Brigam will soon go to the same place to teach. All four are young girls who have secured diplomas from various schools and who make a livelihood by teaching but are compelled to go to Oklahoma or somewhere from home to secure a position as teacher. Dora Ellis is a graduate of the Iola High school; Miss Beatty was graduated at Nashville, Tenn., and the Brigam sisters graduated at Thayer, Kansas. These girls are certainly to be commended for their perseverance in equipping themselves to become self-supporting under difficulties that seem insurmountable. In connection with the foregoing I would like to say in your paper I do not believe it will be out of place to here say neither do I think I will be criticized or censured for stating on behalf of the better class of our citizens that it grieves us to see our girls, who have labored hard in preparing themselves as teachers, leaving to go to other states and territories to secure employment as teachers. While the parents of these girls and the other taxpayers continue to pay taxes and struggle to keep their children in school to graduate with the same obstacle in view. This alone is the greatest reason for so few graduates in this part of the state. I only hope that the day will come when our girls and boys that prepare themselves for teaching will find employment at home as teachers. I remain yours for the race. T. W. GREENE JR. FRISCO System St. Louis @ San Francisco Railroad Co. SAINT LOUIS, July 1, '03. ANNOUNCEMENT. On this date the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad Company assumes charge of the line formerly known as the Ozark & Cherokee Central Railway, extending westwardly from Fayetteville, Ark., to Okmulgee, I. T., a distance of 143.9 miles. As will be noted by reference to the map, this line forms a connecting link between our Central Division and the Red River District. Aside, however, from the convenience of this connection, the road penetrates a section offering excellent opportunities to those in search of a new location, either from a commercial or farming standpoint. Fayetteville, its starting point, is located in one of the best portions of the Ozark fruit belt, and the line will open, to the west of that place, a country whose ability to produce apples, peaches and other fruits has already been demonstrated, and whose prosperity and rapid development is, since the establishment of railway communications, assured. Passing through the "Land of the Big Red Apple," the line enters the Indian Territory, near Westville, crossing the Cherokee Nation, and traversing the Creek Nation, a country that has lately attracted attention all over Did it Ever Occur to YOU That When a Man Gets Old and the Days Grow Cold He Will Need A FEW DOLLARS to Prolong His Life.

Wheat, corn and cotton grow side by side, and all yield crops calculated to astonish, by their abundance and excellence, farmers from the older states.
