The Court convenes in the morning from 8 to 10 o'clock, and the Knights hold their sessions from 10 to 12. The afternoon sessions are conducted the same way. The usual committees were appointed to carry on the work, and they at once proceeded to business. The address of the Grand Chancellor was one of the strongest documents ever delivered before a Grand Session of the order since its incorporation. He covered every point at issue before the Grand Session, and his decisions and recommendations showed that he has the ability to manage the affairs of the order. The three days session was harmonious throughout. The following officers of the lodge were present: Past grand chancellor, W. W. Plumb. Topeka; grand chancellor, John E.

Tuesday evening a reception was given at the state house in honor of the visiting delegates by Excelsior Lodge No. 3 and Prince Albert Court, No. 85. The Grand Chancellor and Grand Worthy Counsellor occupied seats together in the speakers stand presided in a dignified manner. Hon. Jas. H. Guy was master of ceremonies, and by the way he is hard to equal. Mayor Bergundthal was introduced by Mr Guy, who said that he was the greatest mayor in the United States as our citizens are noted for great things, and that the greatest band in America is here. The Mayor in a few well chosen words, welcomed them to the city. Dr. I. H. Anthony, of Kansas City, responded, assuring the Mayor that on leaving they would return the keys to him, and that they would leave the city as they found it, if not better. Hou. Jas. H. Guy on behalf of Excelsior Lodge welcomed the visitors to our homes. On extending the hospitality of the city to them, he paid a glowing tribute to the colored men in business and also the Topeka Industrial school, urging them to pay this institution a visit before returning home. Sir W. M. Hallum, of Wichita, formerly of Topeka, responded by saying Pythianism taught love and truth and in accepting the hospitality of the members, that they would try and emulate Damon and Pythias. One feature the gentleman omitted in his generosity was to say something about the company of the ladies. Mrs. R. L. Skearce on behalf of the Court extended the hospitality of their homes, and directed some pointed remarks on the love and affection of women, saying "they are the instruments through which comes all good society." Mrs. Ida Wallace of Lawrence, responded on behalf of the visiting ladies saying that they were proud to be honored with being among the sisters in the Capital City, and hoped nothing would be done to mar the feeling and confidence that has taken years to build up. At the conclusion, Jackson's Twenty-third Regiment band played "Damon and Pythias" a piece epe, lally arranged for the occasion by the Professor. Ice cream and cake was served after which the several visitors were introduced to the home people. A MANLY ACT! Policeman Henderson Treats a Brute to a sound Whippling. Policeman Abe Henderson should be commended for the manly stand he took in reprimanding his brother. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 29, 1904. in-law, Harvey Talbot, who criminally assaulted a niece of the officer. He was charged with committing this heinous offense some time ago, and had the girl spirited away. She was located in Kansas City and brought back. She was not a willing witness, but the farts as presented look very shady, but not sufficient to hold him. Immediately after the defendant was discharged and out of the court room, Officer Henderson armed with a piece of rubber hose three foot long, flogged him until the bystanders were compelled to take him off. Mr. Henderson was right, and if more of the parents would follow Henderson's example on these young scoundrels who seduce and ruin girls there would be more happy homes in the land. Henderson has started the good work, keep it up until every one of the dirty curs learn their places. A large number lay in wait on the street corners and stop young girls who are sent on errands for their parents or on their way to school. Parents, follow up your girls and boys and keep them in the path of rectitude. The filling of penal institutions and bawdy houses is the fault of parents who let their children run at large like cattle. Abe Henderson has set the pace in Topeka, let other cities and towns follow. Lawrence, Kan. Mrs. Anna Lett of Atchison, is visiting her mother here, Mrs. Fuel. Geo. Walker of Williams and Walker, with his private secretary, Mr. Tapley, is visiting his mother, Mrs. Alice Myers.

Mr. Tapley rendered a solo at the Warren St. Baptist church last Sunday morning. The circle of the A. M. E. church met with Mrs. Reede and after business was finished, light lunch was served. The Roosevelt club gave a concert at Johnson's hall Thursday evening of last week. After a well rendered program all enjoyed themselves at dancing till quite a late hour.

C. to spend a few days with his parents. WICHITA WANTS THE GRAND LODGE! A Mistake Was Made in Changing the Place of Meeting. It Rightfully Belongs to Wichita and Doubtless It Will Convence in That City. A mistake has been made in the calling of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M. It was decided at the last Grand Session by a vote that Wichita would be the place of meeting. A disastrous flood was reported to have greatly damaged the people of that city, and the Grand Master wrote a letter to ascertain whether or not the Grand Lodge could be entertained by the subordinate lodge. In reply to same a member wrote him saying it would be best to change it to another place, that the flood had so damaged the people that it was impossible to properly care for the visitors. Acting upon this suggestion, the Grand Master called it to convene in Topeka. Now comes the Lodge of Wichita, and justly says it can't be done as the lodge has not acted on the matter nor were they consulted. In an interview with several members of Arkansas Valley Lodge who were attending the Knights of Pythias Grand Session in Topeka this week, they expressed themselves as being surprised at the change, and that they want the Grand Lodge to meet in Wichita, and they would be royally entertained. We want the people of Wichita to hold no malice against the Grand Master in this matter, as he only did what he believed to be best for the people, and we feel sure that he will correct the mistake and send the Grand Lodge to Wichita. LATER:—Since the foregoing was put in type, a conference was held between the Grand Master, Grand High Priest, Grand Commander and a representative of Rock Valley Lodge. it was decided that the three Grand Bodies convene at Wichita Monday Aug 22 to 26.

For goodness sake, do take it! At this time of the year the colored people over the country are making great preparations to celebrate the emancipation of the Negro by going off to picnics, ey- cursions and barbecues to spend their hard earned money—the profits of toil and sweat—in lem- onade, lunches and liquor. It is to be hoped that some day col- ored people will learn to cele- brate these occasions by spend- Jing their money where it will re- fect some credit upon the things for which they were emancipated j—the unity and betterment of ee race. If the money that 1s spent in these momentary picas- ures was invested in farms, in [chicken raising, pigeons, hogs, improving the homes and paying joff debts, what 2 monument and ideal the Nexro would rear up for Jhis children to imitate and. fol- low, With winter's freezing blasts howling in the far distance and coal yet to buy and heavy clothing to be purchased, the price of meat and flour steadily going up, the unsettled condition in the labor world, and books and c othing to be bought for the boys and giris going to school neat month, it seems to us per- fect foolishess and simple ignor- jance for’a dependent people to engage in such worthless pleas: ‘ures. Let our worthy organiza. tions, which generally promote [such affairs, not follow the peo: ,ple, but set up a high standard jand have the people follow them | —in business ventures as well a: lin secret work. If the money that is spent upon such occasion: was used by these worthy organ: izations to establish and main. tain a co-operative laundry, dr goods store, in buying and rent. ee houses to its members, or in. vesting in and renting good Kan {sas farms to colored immigrants is? as to put the idle Negro boy: to work raisin; truck, grain anc stock forthe ready markets o je country, what a boon woul come to the Negre race within few years. The Allen-Wright recital las Friday evening was a very cred itable affair. Mr. Allen was ver; entertaining, while Mrs. Wrigh |sustained her reputation as thi | prima donna of the West. years, died July 23 at Douglass hospital. Ringling Bros.’ circu: was the great attraction for the women and children Monday. The cry, “It's alive! It's awake! It grows stronger daily!” told the people that the Knights and Ladies of Protection is the best insurance for the best people of race. Its members are each a living, healthy part of an or- ganization that does not eat- them-alive, but aids them alive. COFFEYVILLE ITEMS. | Clyde, the 14-year old son o!

His house was set afire two weeks ago and he set upon by union pickets last week and only kept them off by means of a large knife. Cruise is said to be a gentle, industrious man and has aever been in any trouble before. Feeling ran high for awhile and talk of lynching was heard, but cooler heads pre- vailed.
