THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. The Meeting of the Knights of Pythias, Benevolent and Masonic Grand Lodges in Topeka, Will Receive the Hospitality of the Entire Community! The Gathering at Fort at Fort Scott Was the Most Interesting and Profitable Meeting in the History of the Order They Have Made Commendable Progress. The Knights and Daughters of Tabor, of Kansas-Nebraska and jurisdiction, convened in their thirteenth annual session at Wayman Chapel A. M. E. church in the city of Fort Scott, Tuesday July 12. Chief Grand Mentor Sir Frank Wilson and Chief Grand Preceptress Daughter Emma Gains, opened the session promptly 10 o'clock. All of the officers were present and filled their proper stations. Sir D. L. Taylor, V. G. M. and Dt. Ella McKinnis filled their stations and were on time at each session. Some people say that thirteen is an unlucky number, but if the success and deliberation that awaited this Grand Session is any criterion this fear should forever be dispelled for a greater session from every point of view was never held before. The membership has grown to be over 2,300, an increase of two to four hundred each year. They own and control over $15,000 worth of real estate, with large and commodious halls. They own over $5,000 worth of personal property and have a neat little bank account of $2,000. They have increased their endowment to eighty dollars. They care for the sick, help the needy and distressed widows and orphans, and encourage all kinds of business and industry for the race. Sir William Core, Chief Grand Treasurer, who has served in this office for years, is undoubtedly one of the safest and best men in the country for a position of this character. He has never misplaced a penny and can account for every cent in the treasury at any minute of the day or night. He reports a collection of over $3,200 for the past year, and has paid out $1,700, which is a remarkable showing from the fact that the members have not been over taxed. Sir A. W. Hopkins, C. G. S., says that the reports of the various lodges to him during the past year were excellent, and for promptness were never better. Dt. Sarah Williams, Chief Grand Rocorier, has served in this capacity for years, and through her office comes the endowment. She is prompt in acknowledging the receipt of money from the various Tabernacles and Tents which inspires confidence. She is always pleasant and agreeable, and keeps an accurate record of each session from beginning to end. Chief Grand Mentor Sir Frank Wilson, did himself proud for the strict methods he adopted in handling the business end of the session. His continuous and ardious labor for the rise and growth of the order has endeared him to the hearts of both the Subordinate and Grand bodies. He is undoubtedly the best presiding officer we ever seen in a secret organization. He takes great interest in the individual welfare of the members of the order, and is rapidly pushing the organization ahead of any lodge in the state. Today they are handling more money conduct more business with less friction than any other secret organization among the colored people in the state. He is ably supported by the queenly Grand Preceptress Dt. Emma Gaines, who is a jewell and a beacon light for the order. Her sisters love and honor her, and always speak of her in the highest terms of praise. We have our first time since visiting the annual sessions, which has been for the past five years, to hear her spring an idle thought. She is a deep thinker, exact and precise. Sir. James Thomas, the Chief Grand Orator, preached the annual sermon Wednesday. The services were open to the public and the church was filled to overflowing. He delivered an able address, touching the vital that mostly interest the race. His eulogy on the growing success of the order, the duty of the members to each other and the race was a deserving tribute. Dt. Laura Johnson, C. G. Pr., and and Dt. Eliza Scott, G. Q. M., filled their stations with their usual dignified and pleasing way. As usual the report of Tents shows that the parents are bringing their children DR. EMMA GAINES, G. G. P. up to love and cherish the.r memory in this noble order. The annual election was held Thursday afternoon, and the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Sir Frank Wilson, C. G. M. Dt. Emma Gaines, C. G. P. 1890 SIR FRANK WILSON, C. G. M. Sir D. L. Taylor, V. G. M. Dt. Ella M'Kinnis, V. G. P. Sir A. W. Hopkins, C. G. S. Dt. Sarah Williams, C. G. R. Sir William Core, C. G. T. Sir C. M. Johnson, G. P. P. Dt. Eliza Scott, G. Q M. Rev. Sir James Thomas, C. G. O. Dt. Laura Johnson, C. G. O. also gave us the minutes and such they may need due this noble order of cere thanks. They to develop race orders take notice. Sir Knights W. C. M. Johnson, Om On Friday the local order gave a picnic in the city park. The procession was formed at the church headed by the Coffeyville silver cornet band. Sirs E. F. Henderson. C. M. Johnson and G. W. Taylor, Grand Marshalls led the parade which was two hours late on account of the train from Coffeyville bearing the band being late. Sirs E. F. Henderson, C. M. Johnson and G. W. Taylor, Grand Marshalls led the parade. They marched through the principal streets to the park where dinner was served and a good time generally was had, and at a seasonable hour all returned to the city for the installation which took place at the convention hall, the pride of Fort Scott and a lovely place for holding public gatherings. At 8:30 p.m., the band struck up a lively march, and the Daughters beautifully arrayed in purple and yellow robes with their heads enshrouded with golden crowns representing the various offices, followed by the Sir Knights in their gorgeous uniforms, marched around the hall and seated themselves in the center of the room where Sir J. W. Wilson, of Kansas City, proceeded to install the officers for the ensuing year. At the conclusion the floor was cleared and the competitive drill for a prize offered by the Grand Session was put on. The drill teams in the contest were Parsons and Salina. Three judges were selected one from Parsons, Fort Scott and Salina. Parsons was on the floor first, with Drill Master A. H. Morton in command of twelve young athletes, performed several difficult movements and were lustily applauded. Salina came on with nine men commanded by Sir N. E. Wigley. They were handicapped from the start on account of being three men short, and the first time they ever appeared before a large audience. They were as finer looking set of men as one would wish to see. The drill master knew his business and gave some excellent commands, but his men failed to execute several of them properly. After each team had appeared upon the floor twice, the judges decided in favor of Parsons amid wild and uproaring applause. The first prize was a set of jewels, and the second, a drill master's badge. After spending a few hours of enjoyment, everybody returned to their several homes feeling that they had been fully paid for their visit. Dr. Emma Gaines presided over the last day's session, reviewing the work of the past year which showed everything pertaining to the Temples, Tabernacles and Tents to be in good working order. They adjourned Saturday at noon to meet in Kansas City, Kas, July 1905. TABORIAN NOTES. Sir J. W. Wilson is known as the Joseph Choate of the Grand Session. He knows the law and can always give the proper construction. The Grand Session adopted THE PLAINDEALER as their official organ, and donated $25 to assist in paying for our new cylinder press, and they also gave us the printing of their minutes and such other printing as they may need during the year. To this noble order we extend our sincere thanks. They are doing much to develop race enterprises. Other orders take notice. Sir Knights W. W. Shobe, Salma; C.M. Johnson, Omaha; Jas. Thomas, Iola, J. W. Wilson, Kansas City. Kas.; E. F. Henderson, Kansas City, Kas.; Allen Garner, Coffeyville and Dts. Gol'en and Tucker, Omaha; Goodwin, Wier City; Dysart and Spence. Atchison; Brown and Alexander, of Lawrence, with the grand officers, constitute the brain of the session. A strong point that proves conclusively that the order is growing is the fact that the endowment has been raised from $50 to $80 without increasing the mont ly dues. All Taborian notes intended for publication must not reach this office later than Tuesday to insure publication in the current issue. Write plain and on one side of the paper only. GIVEN AWAY.

Master Masons, Royal Arch and Knights Templar Will Convene in Grand Sessions. TOPEKA WELCOMES THEM The Three Grand Masonic Bodies Will Be Given the Keys to the Most Beautiful and Hospitalizable City in all Kansas. Owing to the heavy floods in the Arkansas valley, it has been found necessary to change the place of meeting of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, Grand Chapter and Grand Commandery. When the Grand Lodge closed its Twenty-eighth annual communication at Emporia last year, it was decided that the next place of meeting should be in the city of Wichita. Arkansas valley lodge was making extensive preparations for the session, which would bring together the largest assemblage of our people during the year. In June the heavy floods swept over the portions of Wichita occupied by our people, and made thousands of them homeless and destitute, rendering it absolutely impossible for them to receive and entertain guests with any degree of comfort. The Grand Master was duly notified of the conditions and at once consulted with the Grand High Priest, the Grand Commander and other prominent masons of this city. As a result of these conferences a joint meeting of the three lodges of this city was held on Tuesday evening, and the Grand Lodge was cordially invited to Topeka. With the knowledge of the hearty and undivided support of the lodges of this city Grand Master Watkins at once issued the following proclamation: To all and several, the Masonic lodges of Kansas and jurisdiction, greeting: Know ye that because of the great flood which recently came down upon the city of Wichita, the twenty-ninth annual communication of Prince Hall Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M. will be held in the city of Topeka on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, August 24, 25 and 26, 1994 Take due notice and govern yourselves accordingly. Issued to a my office in Topeka, this 18th day of July, A. L. 5904 The Master appointed a special committee on arrangement and by the time of the convocation of the Grand Chapter, August 22, everything will be in readiness. The Grand Chapter and Grand Commandery will also convene in this city and special attention will be given them. Just where the sessions will be held has not been decided, but will be announced later. Topeka has but a short time to prepare for this, but we believe this city is able to rise equal to the emergency. Let us lay aside our differences, and remembering only the comforts of the stranger within our gates and Topeka's well known reputation for hospitality and good cheer, prepare the corn, wine and oil. Remember the Grand Lodge will convene in Topeka August 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26. Let the word go out. Let your sympathy be for Wichita in her great calamity. The Great Political Race Track in Kansas Has Been Cleared and the Contest is on In Full. The scoring at the post is all over, the track cleared and the judge has given the "word." The track encircles all Kansas and the stables are located in the National Hotel. The great toiling masses, the people who win their bread by the sweat of their face are grooming the horses and pronounce them in condition t. win. With the Booking of the Bryan-Overmyer stables, the entries closed. They have entered a New York donkey and a Wichita burrow. Chairman Stubbs, of the state central committee opened headquarters in the National hotel last Thursday. Secretary Clyde Miller and J. N. Dolley adviser, are now conferring with the people as to what size majority Kansas should give Roosevelt and Hoch. The committee held an experience meeting and all were of one mind, and that was the burrow and donkey would break at the quarter, the former going to the hills and the latter swimming. All agreed that it was better to make fast time for the benefit of future entries. We have no issues; all are settled and the people have confidence in the party, and are willing to arrange the tariff as the times demand. NICK CHILES. BISHOP ABRAM GRANT! The Noted Divine is Given a Royal Welcome in Topeka. When the Rev. John F. Cook Taylor, pasto. of the St. John A. M. E. church announced a visit from the bishop of the Fifth Episcopal district, no one anticipated the great out pouring of the people nor the enthusiastic manifestation of feeling that welcomed the distinguished divine during his stay in the city. On Sunday morning the large auditorium of St. John church was filled to overflow with an expectant crowd of worshipers. The church was tastefully decorated with palms, ferns and blooming flowers and presented a beautiful appearance. Promptly on the hour, the organ began a low voluntary, and the white robed choir with their caps, marched slowly by, and assumed their places on the stand. It was a beautiful sight, and the singing of the choir was exceptionally good. The sermon by the Bishop was closely followed throughout and made a strong impression upon the audience and at the close of the sermon fourteen were added to the church. The Bishop preached again in the evening to a large audience despite the sultry weather. On Monday evening the members and friends of St. John held a reception in the church parlor from 9 to 11. Previous to the reception, the Bishop lectured to an audience of eight hundred on "The Problems Confronting This Country." He discussed the labor problem, the religious problem, the educational problem, the social problem, the drink problem and the race problem, all in their relation to the race. His talk was replete in bright sayings and at times was enthusiastically applauded. His views on the race problem and the future of the Negro were especially interesting and optimistic. The members of the church are to be congratulated on the perfect order prevailing during the entire evening in all the branches of their entertainment. On Tuesday evening Bishop Grant lectured to a large crowd at the Asbury. NEGRO EDITORS MEET. Colorado Springs, Colo., June 12, '04.

HOW TO CARE FOR POULTRY This article is not prepared as a complete guide to poultry raising, but is intended to give suggestions to those who have the facilities and inclination to engage in the business in a small way. In the first place it is well to select hens from the standard breeds. The Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes and Bramas are the most popular. The Leghorns and Cochins have many good points. But whatever variety be selected, the profit comes from care and attention. Hens should have plenty of range, and, if possible, should not be confined. In cities and towns, as a general thing, they can not run at large. But, wherever kept, everything about them should be clean and neat. They should not be required to live and roost in the same enclosure. They should have access at all times to a plenty of clean water. A laying hen is a very thrusty animal. A dust bath must at all times be provided. In the summer season, hens can generally find this themselves, by the roadside or under hedges and trees, but in the winter and wet weather, there must be a bath placed indoors. For this purpose dry dirt or ashes can be used. This bath must be perfectly dry and of sufficient depth so that the hen may thoroughly clean herself. Hens should be supplied with plenty of grit. By means of this the food is ground. Fine gravel, broken shells and very coarse sand are all useful. In the winter moths all kinds of green crops, roots and vegetables can be employed to advantage. The best crop to be raised on purpose tor hens and chickens in this season is lettuce. This can be easily grown. A good way to supply hens in winter with green food is to hang a bundle of hay or cabbage so that they can peck at them. The more food a hen can obtain by her own exertions the better, but in the winter not much can ordinarily be found. The regular food to be given a hen is of grain of all kinds, but care should be taken not to give too much corn to laying hens and growing chickens for the reason that it is rich in fat. Every thing that is left from the table is good feed for hens, together with all forms of meat. All the fresh bones that can be obtained from the table or elsewhere should be pounded up and fed to hens. It has been said that the yield of eggs can be doubled in this way. Care should be taken not to overfeed a hen with anything. The nests should be cared for to see that everything connected with them is clean. If possible, hens should be so fed and cared for that they will lay in winter. Eggs are then worth two or four times as much as they are worth in the spring or summer. Eggs bring the best price when fresh. An egg grows poorer after it is three days old. Much might be written on the construction of nests, but this is not necessary for the guidance of those who carry on the business in a small way. When it is thought best to put the nest of a setting hen in a new location, it may be well to put at first under the hen wooden or spoiled eggs until she becomes accustomed to her new surroundings. A setting hen should be fed with dry grain only. Chickens should be kept in coops while young. These should be clean and frequently moved. While chickens should be carefully tended they should not be killed with too much kindness. For the first few days of a chickin's life, the best food for it is eggs, hard boiled, chopped fine, and mixed with an equal bulk of bread crumbs, and the whole moistened with milk, but not sloppy. After this they should be fed on dough made of any kind of meal. Corn meal should be used sparingly. The dough should not be sloppy. Chickens should be fed every two hours for the first week; every three hours for the next month; and afterwards four times a day until they are full grown. After the first month chickens can swallow all the smaller grains. For chickens intended for broilers, corn meal dough mixed with meat or suet can be used part of the time. Hens or chickens when fat- NUMBER 29. A Few Interesting Points Concerning the Most Profitable Business the Negro Can Engage Himself If These Suggestions are Followed the Business Will Pay. tenning should be confined and not allowed to run at large. All kinds of grain and suet and milk can be used. They should be fed regularly two or three times a day. Care should be taken not to give more at any one time than they can eat. In raising chickens for the market, the profit comes from producing them early and in good condition. For early sale broilers probably pay the best. In the South it Would Have Meant the Lynching of Two Innocent Men as is Often the Case. It was the sense of several Negroes who had a meeting in the Eighth ward the other night that if the Myers murder had taken place in the South a couple of Africans would have swung from a telegraph pole for it. They were probably right. Mrs. Myers's story that her husband was killed by Negro burglars sounded like a lie from the first. There never was a single circumstance that tended to corroborate it. But in the South they have a habit, when Negroes are charged with crime, of assuming they are guilty and not giving them a chance to prove they are innocent. The Southern mode of procedure would have been to have got up a mot, seized the first pair of suspicious looking Negroes that were run across and taken them before Mrs. Myers. She, of course, would at once have positively identified them. The Negroes once hung, nobody in the community would have had the courage to question that the mob had got the right men, and the way would have been open for Mrs. Myers and Hottman to get married and live happy ever after. Such incidents do not take place in the South alone. It has been only a few years since one came near taking place in Kansas City. A young man and woman told a direful story about how they had been set upon by Negroes in the east part of Kansas City and the young woman had been cruelly mistreated. Some Negroes were arrested and identified. A mob gathered in the North end and it became unsafe for a Negro to appear on the streets. Several Africans were beaten and shot at. If the county and city authorities had not acted with promptitude and courage the Negroes arrested for the alleged outrage would have been lynched. It turned out afterward that the entire story told by the young people was a baseless fabrication, and that all the culpable actions committed were their own. Police officials are sometimes incompetent. The lawyers who defend criminals are not infrequently scoundrels and pollute the stream of justice. Courts let criminals be saved from punishment by technicalities. Juries are often corrupted. But with all its defects, the Anglo-Saxon system of jurisprudence is still the most perfect mechanism ever devised for meting out justice to the guilty and saving from injustice the innocent. Mob law enjoys the equal but opposite distinction of being the worst contrivance ever devised for this purpose. The man who reflects upon the Myers murder and what it would probably have led to in the South cannot help thinking that probably scores of Negroes have been put to death in that section for crimes which they did not commit and knew nothing about. When there is doubt about the guilt of an alleged criminal his case obviously ought to be left to the disposal of the courts, and when there is no doubt about his guilt, his case can safely be left there—especially if the alleged criminal be a Negro and the court a Southern one. Has your boy found a job? If not, look up one for him. The Herald is to be congratulated on securing the city printing. THERE should be a special effort on the part of all our people to make the coming lecture of Rev. J. W. E. Bowen in this city a success. Rev. Bowen is one of the very few Negroes of the country whose merit secures for them recognition. For two quad-annual conferences of the M. E. church Rev. Bowen has received more than a complimentary vote for bishop. His lecture here in the near future will be a rare treat for all our people. A strong movement is on foot to secure the 1905 meeting of the National Association of Negro Business men for this city. The meeting this year will be held in Indianapolis. Topeka possesses many advantages over any other town. Nowhere in the nation will be found a more progressive class of colored people than in Topeka. By all means let the business and professional men of this city combine to bring the strongest gathering of the kind to Topeka next year In view of the position assumed by the Republican convention at Chicago, the following excerpt from a conversation between two men in St. Louis barbershop: "I have you ever watered?" the horseman asked as he put on his collar. "why the black men do not attempt this crime of anger in the North, where they are now to be found in large number, and where they are not nearly so much oppressed and terrorized as they are in the south? I have kept close tab on that thing the last 15 years, and not a dozen attempts were made by colored men north of Mason and Dixon's line. I would like to have somebody explain that one." "Do you mean sah?" said the poor white man, raisein' his head off the fourth cushion, " insult the Southern ladies, sah?" "You are a fool if you think so," said the horseman, and a liar if you say so. What I can to say, and do say, is that there is not narly so much of this crime in the South as is charged. Hundreds of poor devils are swung up every year because their skins are black. It is enough to revolt a man, and there are men there who do revolt at it in secret, but keep still for political and business reasons. The great mistake in enfranchising the Negro was that it put the poor whites as a sort of political buffer between the darkey and the old aristocracy. Before the war the poor white, the great mass, in the South ranked the Negro in the scale only because he had a vote. He had no more social recognition than the black. Since the war a greater degree of recognition has had to be accorded to him as a political force, and, with the true meanness of his stripe, he has looked around to find a breed on a scale lower than his on the mole hill of the world. The only lower scale is occupied by the darky, and he is made the victim of an oppression and ferocity which is a disgrace to civilization. When you let that monster of ignorance and brutality, the poor white man of the South loose and free to work his will, you are invoking a curse upon the land which will surely fall. I feel deeply upon this question, for I have seen the beast at his work." "The finest men of the South, sah," said the poor white, "back up what is done." "That is true," said the horseman; "and, as I have said, for political reasons. I have had such men tell me that they were fearful of a frightful whirlwind to come of the sowing of this evil wind of hate and murder. And they change it. Their efforts are all along that line. These disfranchising measures are undertaken by them, not to suppress the Negro vote for they have it already suppressed, but to free themselves of obligation to that lowest class of poor whites, who are responsible for nearly every story of outrage that comes from the South. I will bet that, ere long, they will correct this shameful thing." "Two to one," said the voice of the dead game sport, "that they don't." NEWTON. KAN. On the evening of May 25th the N.U.G. club held its annual closing banquet, which proved a grand success.

Servant of God, well done; Rest from thy loved employ— The battle fought, the victory won; Enter thy Master's joy. Can the South be left alone to solve the race problem? I answer unhesitatingly in the negative for the following reasons, towit: First, because she is not prepared to solve it any better than she was prepared the question of humane slavery. Forty years ago she could not and would tolerate humane freedom; and did not until forced to do so. She has now made a virtue of necessity, and turned the war unto his own account, and today rejoices in the partial freedom of all. Remember, I say partial freedom, for the Negro of the South has never been politically or socially free. Yours truly, D. E. CALDWELL. I looked upon the rising sun, And as she rose my mind did run Back when slavery that started strife And committed crimes as black as night. As she moved my mind went in haste; I asked what could be done for this downtrodden race To stop mob violence and black disgrace. From the bonds of slavery we were turned loose Without a home or a pair of boots; We were sold from our parents whom we never saw; We are accused of crimes, not tried by law; Bound to the stake and tortured and burnt, And driven from homes that we have earnt. When children were sold from their mothers' arms They would bid them a long farewell While in some other trader's hands The weeping mothers fell. There are many of our mothers that are lying at rest; Oh, where is the infant, you tore from her breast? Where is the accused that were under the command? I imagine the blood stain is still on their hand. When the Spanish had the Rough Riders penned, Who, then went to their rescue but but the Ninth and Tenth? When those black boys like demons yell The Spanish from their bullets fell. As they made the rush up San Juan hill They heard the commander cry, "Boys, don't make such a daring charge Or every one may die." Their war whoop was carried back to the commander in blue: "We will take the Spanish flag or die a-trying to." They went on up, tho' many fell. Then, why not stop these cruel crimes and treat the Negro well? The sunbeams sparkled, like light- ning they flew And pointed to the great flag—the red, white and blue.

Who toiled in slavery, and from cruelty died? Pray, tell me, bright sun, how hard was the strife For three hundred years we served them as slaves; I think this alone has made enough graves. Why do they despise us? Is it not a fact That we are honest, tho' our faces are black? Give honor that is due us, as you do other races, Look at the principle, and not at the black faces. If the Negro is dishonest and is caught in a flaw, Will you not mob him, but try him by law? When called for volunteers we went up brave, And lay down our lives the flag to save, No braver soldiers could be found, Remember our blood stains are still on the ground. REUBEN H.

The following was written by a man who has never attended school a day in his life, yet with the slight something of education which he has picked up, he says a great many things that contain lots of good, hard common sense, as the following will show: I looked upon the brave, old flag and not a fear I felt.

Editor and Manager. Anyone picking up a large map of Kansas and observing its many subdivisions, at once sees what a beautiful anti-climax of counties is formed by beginning at the extreme Western edge where the counties are almost as large as some states, and coming on down Eastward to the smallest point at the extreme end where the Missouri and Kaw interlock their waves in sweet and silent embraces—in Wyandotte county—Kansas City. The combined Kansas Cities, with a population of 300,000, form a hub around which all the business of the Southwest circles and concentrates, converging and diverging to all points of the compass. Kansas City has 2000 acres of public parks, upon which more than three million dollars have been spent for improvements; it has 11,000 telephones in daily use; leads the world in the sale of farm implements; has the largest hall in the world, seating 25,000; has 200 miles of paved streets and boulevards; has 600 factories, employing 30,000 hands, and making $160,000,000 of merchandise yearly; has fifty-two public schools that cost over $2,500,000; has the largest packing packing house in the world, and holds second place in volume of packing house business; is the second greatest railroad center in the world; has 160 miles of street railway; is the greatest horse and mule market in the world; and her building permits' increase over the previous year was two million dollars; over two thousand freight cars are loaded and unloaded daily; street cars carry two hundred thousand people every day, and the Stock Yards cover 160 acres and take care of 70,000 animals daily. These are the facts that are causing conservative Negro business men everywhere to recognize and see in the great colored population that centers in and about Kansas City a great bonanza for the energetic and persistent Negro business man or organization that knows how to go after and get the business. These are the reasons why outside colored capital is buying Kansas City, Kansas, real estate for home and rental purposes. This is why THE PLAINDEALER and the Knights and Ladies of Protection stand in such high favor in this community—they are helping the colored people to see and take advantage of these golden opportunities. Dooley says: "Opportunity knocks at every man's door once. On some men's doors it hammers till it breaks down the door and then it goes in and wakes him if he's asleep, and afterward it works for him as a night watchman. On other men's doors it knocks and runs away, and on the doors of some men it knocks, and when they come out it hits them over the head with an ax. But every man has an opportunity." The young Western Negro has opportunities to succeed here in Kansas never before offered, and THE PLAINDEALER and Knights and Ladies of Protection are leading the race onward to this goal. To those who stand idly by unconcerned and alarmed we say: If you cannot heed and help us, don't hinder and hurt us, but let us pass on; for God's sake, let us pass on! THE STRIKE. Kansas City has been confronted this week with the strike of the packing house Butchers' unions. Six other large cities are also involved. We understand that the men here are on strike here in sympathy with the Chicago unions which demand higher wages. Numbers of Negro working men have laid down their tools and walked out with the others. There is only one strike that the Negro ever engaged in and came out the victor, one in which he secured more returns for his investment, and that brought added strength and power to the race, and that was when he struck the combination of THE PLAINDEALER and Knights and Ladies of Protection. The first is the great Negro newspaper of the West and is subscribed and paid for from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from the Gulf to the Lakes and in far away Africa. The other is the only Negro fraternal insurance order in America and has written a quarter of a million dollars worth of insurance in the last nine months, and "it grows stronger daily." It can write for you. LOCAL AND PERSONAL- Mesdames J. H. Guy and O. A. Tayler, and Charles Whitney of Topeka, passed through here Monday en route home from the World's fair. George Bertha spent a few days in the city last week visiting his parents, Jas. Bertha and wife. Rev. A. M. Ward and wife and Mrs. Braxton attended the literary convention at Independence. Prof. Britt, the noted baritone, appeared at the First Baptist church Monday night and at the A.M.E. church Thursday night. Albert Smiley, an old citizen, living at 9th and Washington, passed away very suddenly last Saturday and was buried Monday afternoon. Dora Sharp, aged 17, died on the 12th of consumption; Ethel Mitchell, nine months old, died Sunday and Mary Wilkerson, 64, died Sunday evening at Douglass hospital. Lillian Randolph, the 14-year old daughter of S. H. Randolph, 720 Everett street, died July 14. of consumption! She and her mother had just returned from Colorado where they had been in interest of the girl's health. With the death of Lillian Randolph at almost the beginning of practically an active and useful life one of the most promising and bright lights goes out—a father's idol, a mother's joy, beloved by all who knew her, apt and diligent in her studies at school and in music, modest, kind and lady-like—and Kansas City has truly lost one of its fairest and brightest daughters, and her place in the hearts of the community cannot easily be filled. There's a vacant place at the table now: Her smile, her step, her voice No longer light up every brow And cause each heart rejoice She's dead. She's gone to never return; But her life well spent this gives. That in the hearts of all her friends A tender memory lives. Like a star in the heavens high Inspiring the living onward, up Rev. Moppins, Miss Barbara Scott and a few others made up the delegation to the Sunday school convention at Paxico, Kansas, which has been in session during the past week. Dr. Ireland of New York, a young white gentleman who travels over the country addressing and advising the Negroes in their churches and Y. M. C. A.'s to unite and uplift their race by patronizing and giving the colored business man the preference, delivered a very interesiing and instructive lecture at the A. M. E. church Sunday evening. We heartily endorse all the doctor's remarks except where he says that Booker T. Washington lies to the South to get their money and then tells an opposite story to the North to get money. This statement is putting a very low estimate upon the only Negro who is really leading the race forward along substantial and powerful lines—the industrial, religious and intellectual way. If this able Dr. Ireland would visit Tuskegee for a few days he would, no doubt, learn a few things about Booker Washington upon which he could better inform the colored people than this rot and rubbish of a few self-appointed leaders of the Negro race living in New York and Boston. Booker Washington is a man who demonstrates his leadership by usefulness and service to his race, and not simply sputtering about on windy subjects, and he will live, yes, he will live in the hearts of the American people, white and black, long after the bones of his jealous antagonists have bleached, blackened and blown across the sandy deserts of Time. If Dr. Ireland cannot say anything good about Booker Washington he should at least remain silent upon the subject. Mr. Washington is too well understood by men of rank, reason and riches to be attacked in such an unreasonable manner; and then the lectures of the able doctor would have a tendency to do more substantial good among the coored people. He must leave Mr. Washington alone, at least in Kansas. Paul Jones, P. C. Thomas and G. W. Stonestreet of Topeka, have been recent visitors here. Charles Brown and Mrs. M.E. Scott, proprietors of the Eureka restaurant, surprised their many friends Tuesday evening by being joined in the bonds of holy wedlock. We bid them success. Capt.

This is much better than spending all one's money for clothes, as is commonly done. Miss A. L. Moore of Kansas City, the art teacher, was entertained Tuesday by Robert Fisher and wife. The members of the art club were present and had an enjoyable time. Mrs. Delia Generals will leave next Thursday for Boston as a delegate of the Relief Corps to the National Encampment. People whom everybody call Atchison gossipers must have gone away on an excursion, or they have decided that gossiping is too low a profession to longer follow. Florence Hawkins of Falls City, Neb., is visiting relatives and friends here. Sam Overstreet was in the city last week. He is now working in Leavenworth.

The success for the Republican county ticket of Cook county this fall is not very encouraging. It is reported that the solid colored Republican vote will be against the county and state ticket. A number of men on the county ticket, as well as on the state ticket, are very objectionable to the colored voters. Men like John A. Linn, who is candidate for the circuit court of Cook county, and Mr. McCollough, who is candidate for state auditor on the state ticket, together with a number of other candidates, have said that they would not have a colored man appointed to any position in their office.
