SECRET BLACKS WON'T SELL Blacks Reported News of the South African Conflict Long Before the Telegraph Brought it# The Whites Want to Know How it Was Accomplished, But They Won't Tell, SE TERR SAS SG Cae SE veTSe tothe British arms during the last South African campaign was report ed by natives in the neighborhood of | Capetown tong before the telegraph brought the news to the British auth orities at that place. ‘The means by which the intelli- gence was transmitted with such amazing rapidity over so great a dis- tance no white man was able to dis- cover. Nor would the natives them vouchsafe the least explanation of the mystery. Vetit is certain that, throughout the war the vicissitudes of the con: flict were regularly known, with start ling swiftness, to powerful African tribes whose black diplomatists were vitally concerned with the issue of the struggle. That some mysterious method of incredibly quick communication ex- ists among the black peoples is no new discovery. Gordon's death and the fall of Khartoum were known in the bazaars of Cairo, eight hundred miles away, on the very day that they occurred. But the black man, though willing at times and for his own ccnvenience, to part with his news from afar, ob stinately refuses to divulge to the white the means by which it has been obtained. Im the same way the “slack track- er” of Australia, that perfect human bloodhound, maintains the secrecy o! the real means by which he has been enabled to track down the escaped prisoner of the “new chum” lost in the bush, Skilled as he may be in the inter- pretation of signs and traces invisi- ble or insignificant to his white em ployers, there is something more be- hind his powers than exceptionally brilliant scouting—something that seems to be related to the newe- transmitting methods of the African native. Hnt what that something 1s he con: ceals, with obstinate cunning, be neath an affection of profound stupid: ity. A similar obstinacy on the part of the black man—suppleme: ted, it this case by a strange terror—stand: between the white student o1 suck matters and the obscure and reput edly ghastly ceremonies of “voodoo.’ “Voodoo” is a system of West Af rican magic and serpent worship which, transplanted by slaves to th ‘West Indies, still lingers in the is land of Haiti, the “Black Republic.’ Besides the weird and abominabl titual “vooduo” is believed to in clude the twin Horrors of cannibal ism snd hnman sacrifice. It has a once a wild terror and fascinatior for the barbaric element in the blac] man and occasionally there are re ports of some dark outburst of vuo dooism in colored centers, whos halt-civilization is more apparen than real. But what‘ voodoo” act ually is no black man will tell. Doctors who have come in contac with the black racts in their ow: countries are familiar with thestrang power of the native“medicine men. These all-important personage are not only expert poisoners, usin for the purpose vegetable principle unknown to science, but they hav also in their mysterious pharmacc peia drugs which ean cause perm: nent insanity, idiocy or endur'ng- sometimes lif long—paraly sis. The knowledge of these secr drugs (to whoeestartling effects is n doubt due the traditional influence ¢ the “medicine man” over Africa peoples) can never be gained by white man, bribery and persuasio are alike powerless to produce f him the elightest sesietance in thedi * covery or identification of these p tent plants. Being white, he cannot becom initiated into the order of “mediciz gee ag ee ewe centuries has ruled savage Africa) through the power contericd by ite jealously guarded command of ve drugs in queetion.

(#0 The Notgnts and Maugnters oF Tabor Greeting : Tam truly glad to teil you that the Jurisdiction 1s doing nicely and growing slowly but firmer; its good work is felt more for good and its benefits are broadening as time passes. We are pleased to say that wehave one new Temple. one new Tabernacle and one Tent since the Grand Session, This shows that our deputies are still organizing and pushing the order to the front While the order ison its onwatd march we must remember that as long as we stand by the rules of the ordes we will succeed. Yet we bow in humble submission to Him that doeth all things for good for those that puttheir trustin Him. Death has visited the following Taber- nacles and taken from us our much beloved members and lefte relatives and the members to mourn their loss: Tabernacle No. 10, Lawrence; Tabernacle No. 77, ‘Topeka; Taber nacle No, 15, Weir City; Tabernacle No, 37, Atchison all of Kansas: and TabernacleNo. 91, of Omaha Ne- braska, and Temple No, 3. of Atch- ison? Kansas. Yet we say praise God from whom all blessings flow. ‘Tam glad to tell you that we have ordered each claim paid at $75 each, The above speaks for itself. The Grand Temple and Taber- nacle at its last session asked that each member give asa free dona- tion from gach member of this Juris- diction 15 cents and the money thus collected to be divided with our members that lost their earthly pos- sessions in the flood last May. To this date only a few have responded to the: request, and those numbers with whom the money isto be diy- ided cnly two Temples have an. swered the call. Now it will soon be time for the Board of Grand Cur- ators to meet and divide tiis money between our distressed members, and we want all Temples and Taber- nacles to give something before we publish the names of those Number: that giveto help our needy mem- bers. ‘Lhe attention of the C.

According to those who were pres- ent when the line was drawn, Man- ager Oppenheimer was very much wrought up over the attempt of the Jeolored men to take a front seat, and some loud words were used. |The wordy argument that took place in the aisle created some ex- | citement in the theater, and several persons were standing on their seats ‘jin order to get a view of what was ‘| going on.

TwOk LOWN TILE SIGNS. The taking down of the anti-Ne- gro signs by the mansgement ot the Empire theatre yesterday put an end to the plans that were under way among the colored people of the city to tear them down forcibly. . According to Rev, W. E. Gladden, the colored people of the city areup in arms over the drawing of the col- or line by the theatrical manager. “We learned early today,” he said last night, “that the colored people of the city were planning toget those signs out of the lobby of the theatre by forcible means if necessary and I should have favored the plan myself it there was nootberway. But Rey. Mr. Burleigh and myselt recogrised that if such a thing were done it would probably have @esulted in se- rious trouble and we determined to prevent it if possible. We saw the mayor and the chief of police and through the latter the signs have been removed.” | While the signs notifying the Ne- gro that his patronage was not solie- ned have disappeared, it is not un- derstood that Manager Oppeuheimer has changed his atutude. | nthe other hand he is said to have decided tu fight the matter toa finish in the courts, nor will be per- mut,under any circumstances, he says, colured people to occupy but the seats designated especially for thein in his theater | When the wo colored clergymen calica upon Mayor Hasris itis cn- derstoua he promised to invesugate the matter, but was not certain of the city’s position in the premises. 1 However, itis stated that when the | matter was presented to Bir.

V. Watkins, Dovie Moberly, Anna Cox, S. Fieids, K. Maupin and Miss L. J. Harlan. The house was darkened, the gas lighted and the elegant menu prepared by our best cateress, Mrs. C. Cox, was a delight to the eye and a joy to the palate. Beautiful souvenir cards, in gold monogram, with bows of ribbon, club colors, to bind three hearts together were given each mem- ber, while four small cards each containing letters, which when transposed, formed words of articles used in art work, were also distributed. The prizes for this were won by Mrs. R. E. Patterson, first, and Mrs. U. F. Scales, the booby. It was about the swellest reception ever given by any of the clubs in the city.

Or in other words, if our sales be one thousand dollars, the Associated Charities can draw on us for $20.00. If the sales be $2000 (and they should be with such an incentive) we shall pay over the sum of $40.00 Imagine the size of the relief fund were other merchants and professional men to join. Just think of the opportunitythat is here presented to purchase goods at Absolute Cost and render assistance to the needy also. . The hardships of tHe winter months are confronting us, and with fuel at the present hgh price, with meat and provisions at greatly increased cost, the most obtuse mind can draw the inference as to the situation that will soon stare us in the face. For that day we are not pleading for ourselves, the success of our sale being already assured. We shall put on an increased force, but would’ask you to oblige us by coming as early in the day as possible. 3 It would be an enduring and grand monument to anyone remaining in business to 3 inaugurate a movement like this, and to the poor it would mean much, very much. 2 F00-000-0000000000-000600400060000000000000000000-000000040000000000000000000000004 In the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas, Effie M.

S. Freidberg, FRISCO System 1 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 the United States by reason of Congressional legislation permitting the acquirement therein, by outsiders, of Indian allotments. The Creek Nation is known to possess as great (if not greater) proportion of available land to square mile as any other of the Indian reservations that have been opened to white settlement. The character of its soil and climate is almost identical with that of Oklahoma. 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. A number of the towns shown in the appended list are of recent birth, and all are in a condition of rapid and substantial development. Business openings of all sorts are to be encountered on every hand, for the man with large or small capital—in many cases for the man with no capital. TEMPLES.
