THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. SOUTH AFRICA A NICE PLACE Historical Society State House VOLUME VI. SOUTH AFRICA Rev. John Gregg Writes About a Pleasant and Very Enjoyable Trip Through South Africa. Several Towns were Visited and a Num- of Distinguished People Greeted Them. Cape Town, October 22, '04. My Dear Sir: Having just returned to Cape Town after a forty five days' trip into the interior, covering something more than 1000 miles, it occurred to me that my experiences might be of some interest to you and your reader. There were four in our party: Mr. W. Collins, the president of the African Political association, who acted as our Dutch interpreter; Mr. Vincent-Solomon. (Dr. Attaway's stenographer), Dr. Attaway and myself. Mr. Collins and Mr. Solomon preceded us two or three days, in order to make arrangements for our accommodations and to advertise our meetings. We were out in the interests of our school at Greater Chatsworth. We left Cape Town on Tuesday evening, August 25, at 8:15, and arrived at Worcester, our first stopping place at 2:50 a.m. Worcester is a beautiful little mo. ntain city of perhaps, 6,000 inhabitants, 110 miles from Cape Town, well-appointed, broad streets with beautiful blue-gum and eucalyptus trees, and streams of clear water on each side of the streets. We stayed in Worcester three days, lecturing two nights. After leaving Worcester we went on to De Dorne (Dutch for "The Thorns.") Here we were to perform some marriages, but our train arrived a little late, and as the English law provides that no marriages shall be solemnized after five o'clock, we got up the next morning at 2:30 o'clock, as our train was to leave at 3:30 a.m. A great company of people came with the brides and grooms they came up the mountainside, singing one of their peculiarly beautiful hymns. You can scarcely imagine the wierd effect this had on me, with Morpheus reluctantly letting me go, the strangeness of the place and the echoes of the song coming back from hill and valley. And the brides and grooms' They ranged in age from thirty to seventy-five. There were three couples. We finished and caught our train. Town's river, our next stop, is a beautiful railroad camp, in which no one lives except the employees of the government railroad. It has about 3,000 inhabitants; it is a beautifully clean little place, way up among the mountains. We held our meeting at the school building on Saturday evening. Town's river boasts of two brass bands, and when we reached the school house both were on hand, having offered their services free of charge. Notwithstanding the fact that it was raining in torrents, the house was packed, and everyone seemed to be in good humour. We spent Sunday quietly, remaining indoors for the most part, as it was quite cold. Monday morning, August 29th at 4:50 o'clock we left Touw's river for Beaulant-west, zig zagging slowly and fabulously up the mountains, until we came out upon that upper plain, known as the Great Karron. This is a high level sandy waste, with a scrutiny growth which very much resembles the sage-brash of Wyoming. Here and there were rains of old Dutch farmhouses, which had been devastated by the British soldier during the late war, while all along the right of way were trenches and breezeworks for the guards of the railway system. Some of the houses were rebuilt, and in them lived people who go in for sheep and ostrich farming. In fact, that is about all they could do, for water in this part is a very scarce article; in some instances it has to be hauled by the railroad company for drinking purposes. We arrived at Beaufort-west, in the very heart of the Karroo, 2:53 p.m. We stopped at the Williams hotel, and were very nicely treated. The proprietor is an Englishman and most of his boarders are English and Scotch railroad men, together with a few traveling men. We held our first meeting at the town hall on Wednesday night, August 31st. The hall was crowded and many were turned away. We induced the magistrate to delay the ringing of the curfew bell one hour. You see, they ring the bell at nine o'clock every night, and at that time all natives must be in. The mountain scenery around Beaufort-west is really inspiring. That great range, the Drakensberg (Dragon Mountains) begins a few miles to the south of the city and extends for miles and miles toward the interior. There is a marked regularity about the mountains; they rise from the surrounding plains, step on step, their lofty peaks seeming to pierce the blue vaulted skies-grin, silent, massive, ancient, snow-capped, as if they alone could withstand the ravages of Time. I counted fifteen distinct flood-plains, surprisingly regular in their formation, and each almost perfectly parrallel with the others, in the entire extent, or, at least, as far as I could see. The rock formation is principally blue and red sandstone or granite. Whilst at Beaufort-west I ate my first ostrich egg. I found it to be rather a nice dish. On September 7th, Dr. Attaway and the others having gone on to Craddock, I returned to Touw'sriver, Worcester and De Dorne, where I held some meetings. On Friday evening, Sept. 9th, at Touw'sriver, I had the pleasure of seeing her Royal Highness, Princess Christian, (who is a sister to King Edward VII) pass through en her way to Pretoria to visit the grave of her son who was killed in the Boer war. I left Worcester Tuesday morning at two o'clock for Queenstown. For a traveling companion in my compartment I had the Rev. E. Nuttall, superintendent of the Wesleyan church in South Africa. He is a very learned man, and is well acquainted with America, and especially Canada. We passed through the great Middlieburg district, where the government spent over $75,000 in an experimental irrigation station, which, in the end, proved a failure. We arrived at Queenstown on Wednesday evening, Sept. 12th at five o'clock. We had a pleasant stay here. Queenstown is in the very middle of Kaffraria, and is the city to which Bishop Coppin intended sending me, had I come out to Africa in 1991, as was once my intention. We preached here on Sunday; Dr. Attaway at the Wesleyan and I at the A. M. E. church, and it was my pleasure to be the means of bringing two souls to Christ that day. In the evening we left Queenstown for East London; Mr. Collins and Mr. Solomon going to Grahamstown. On our arrival at East London we were met by Mr. A. K. Soga, the editor of "Izzi Labantu" (The Voice of the People). Mr. Soga is a M'Koss, and was educated in Edinburgh. He is one of the most intelligent men amongst the natives of South Africa. He took us to the home of a Mr. Holloway, a young Englishman, who, with his wife, has been out from London only a short time. Mrs. Holloway has a beautiful contralto voice, and made our stay quite pleasant. You can well imagine how pleased we were to hear some artistic singing. Mr. Soga is soon to visit America, and I find a very progressive and deep-thinking man. He has the development of his people at heart, and it he can carry out his schemes, he will help them greatly. After a pleasant stay of five days we left East London for Port Elizabeth. We went down by boat, the "Kinfauns Castle", one of the Union Castle Co.'s big steamers, which was on its way to Southampton. Our friend, Mr. Soga, went out in the lighter to our ship, which was so large that it had to stand out in the bay. The water was very rough, and both Dr. Attaway and Mr. Soga got very sick in the short trip out. The last I saw of Mr. Soga was sitting all cramped up in a cor TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 25, 1904. Interesting News of Kansas. OUR CHRISTMAS NUMBER. FOR the past few years it has been the custom of THE PLAINDEALER to issue a Special Christmas Number. This year will be no exception. The Christmas number of this paper will be a "hummer." We have heretofore endeavored to cover Kansas and the West. This year will eclipse all previous efforts, just as Kansas has given to the successful party a larger majority than ever before. We purpose in this issue to cover every phase of the race's life. The colored citizens of Kansas are advancing and developing more rapidly than in any section of the country. Our people are accumulating more wealth; we are building better churches in which to more intelligently worship God; we are building better and more substantial homes, from which we are sending out into the world stronger and better young men and women, whose influence for good will be beneficial to the nation; we are sending our children to better schools, taught by better teachers than ever before. All this and more concerning our people will be told in the coming Christmas issue. Then, too, THE PLAINDEALER will be changed. We propose, in return for the liberal patronage we have enjoyed the past year, to give to our many readers more for their money than they ever received before. Our Christmas number will be a six-column twenty-four page paper, with many illustrations. It will not only be valuable to you, but it will be an appreciated Christmas present to your friends. Send in your orders that we may be able to have enough to supply the demands. Not only will the Christmas number be a splendid gift for Christmas to your friend, but a year's subscription to the paper will be better. Better than ever! That's what THE PLAINDEALER will be next year. We have prepared to increase its size from a seven column folio to a six-column quarto, and it will be chuck full of good things for our readers. The increased facilities of the office—a new press and new type, with our new improved folder to be installed January 1, will make THE PLAINDEALER the best equipped Negro paper in America. Everybody will want it. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON January 17th. PROF. W. R. CARTER of the Topeka Industrial Institute has announced the coming of Prof. Booker T. Washington, the wizard of Tuskegee, to Topeka for a lecture on January 17, 1905. The name of no Negro since the days of Frederick Douglass has created so profound an impression upon the world as Mr. Washington. While not passing as a great leader of his people, except in so far as correctly educating the masses in the South to take a practical hold of every-day affairs, he is recognized as the foremost man of the race today. The announcement of his coming to Topeka will be heartily received by the people of the entire state. It is a most excellent opportunity for many to hear this brilliant educator. The educational theories of Mr. Washington have not only been of great good to the Negro, but they have been largely instrumental in revolutionizing the educational systems of the entire world. Manual training is recognized today as a part of the education of all children. We may not be in full accord with all Mr. Washington does, still we must render to him the respect due a man whose achievements have been such as to raise him above the obliquity of color. The Negroes of Kansas will most assuredly turn out to hear Mr. Washington. Already we are informed that the colored business men of Topeka are taking steps towards preparing for him a banquet and reception where all will have a chance to shake his hand. THE INTER-STATE LITERARY. Heretofore no event in Kansas among our people has been looked forward to with greater anticipated pleasure than the annual meeting of the Inter-State Literary Association. Organized in Topeka nearly fifteen years ago, this association has done much to improve the literary tastes and habits of our people. While in some respects it has not reached the hopes of its organizers, it has always merited the favorable consideration of all. The annual meeting for 1904 will be held in Topeka during the Christmas holidays. Active preparations are now being made by the Executive Committee to arrange an interesting program. It will be the aim of the committee to vary the usual style of the program. In addition to the several interesting papers from the representatives of the various clubs of Kansas, Missouri and Nebraska, it is likely that one evening will be given to one of our most prominent lecturers. If this plan is carried out the Topeka meeting will mark an epoch in the history of the association. Not alone will the committee provide a rare literary treat for the visiting delegates and friends, but the good people of Topeka will surprise them by their generous hospitality. Every permanent club doing literary work are urged to become a member of this association, and thereby help to develop the race. ner of the lighter, with his face in his hands, too sick to say "goodly." Dr. Attaway went right to bed, but I managed to eat my meals—supper and breakfast. When we artived at Port Elizabeth, we both concluded that we would rather walk back to Capetown than go by water. Port Elizabeth is a beautiful city, and is one of Capetown's rivals. We were treated very royally by the people there. Port Elizabeth boasts of a very superior class of colored and native people. I visited St. George's park, Signal Hill, the bay, the valley and, in fact, all the places of interest. On Friday night we held a big meeting, and on Saturday night the people gave us a "musical" and banquet. For a while I really thought I was at home, attending a like function among my own people. It was certainly creditable. The singing and playing was above the average, and when I say that, I mean the average at home.

Two young ladies, one as pianist and the other as singer, would have done credit at any entertainment, at home or elsewhere. Sunday morning Dr. Attaway preached at the Rev. Mr. Dower's church, and I occupied the pulpit in the evening. Rev. Dower has been in South Africa thirty nine years. He is an Englishman, and has done much for the colored and native people in that time, and he is responsible as much or more than any other for the state of advancement that one finds in Port Elizabeth. He has a large church, built in the shape of a Maltese cross, each wing extending from the centre about sixty feet. The pulpit is at the extremity of one of the wings, while a big pipe organ and choir occupies the one directly opposite. It was grand! Monday morning we caught the 6:30 train for home, having received a cablegram that Bishop Smith would arrive in Cape Town on October 11. Dr. Attaway stopped at Craddock PROTECT THE Mrs. J.

To our women— Editor Chiles in a recent issue of his valuable paper sounded a much needed note of warning in his article headed "Parents, protect your girls." Let parents and members of women's clubs, not only in Topeka, but in every direction, start a vigorous crusade to lessen the evils the editor has so forcibly portrayed.

Mrs. Yates is right in saying that a crusade should be waged along that line. Now let the pulpit and newspapers take the matter up and continue the crusade. The Inter-State Literary association is the only organization of its kind in the West, and no one can deny that it has done much good and its influence has been felt throughout its fourteen years of its existence. It is a broader organization than a teach- er's association, as it comes nearer reaching the masses than any similar association. No other organization, perhaps, has used so much energy and fought with such dogged tenacity as this one to attain the object for which it first started out. Though its last meeting, was held somewhat more distant from point of vantage than formerly, yet the attendance proved to be better than was anticipated, and the usual enthusiasm did not waver for an instant and as to actual results, probably more was accomplished than at any previous meeting. The report of the "Special Advisory committee" was read and quite a number of new ideas were inculcated into the Inter-State. The magazine idea of getting our work before the public was suggested and discussed.

All cities of the West which are interested in the uplifting of the race in general, should send delegates and be represented at the coming meeting. Every person who lives within the radius of a thousand miles is well acquainted with Topeka's hospitality; and with the Hon. Jas, H. Guy as chairman of the Executive committee, we can hope for nothing other than one of the most enthusiastic meetings ever held. By virtue of the fact that the State Teachers' association meets in Topeka about the same time, the president and executive committee are endeavoring to secure one of the strongest and best programs ever given to the public by the Inter State Literary association. E. J. HAWKINS. There is a man, B. D. Gardener by name, who calls himself a doctor and resides in Topeka, who is going about all over the country, selling medicine and defrauding colored people of their money. There is a woman traveling with him whom he calls Hattie Gardener or his wife. But they both talk so much and tell such fishy stories that it is hard to believe anything they say. But whether she is his wife or not, she travels with him and is his co-helper in cheating people out of their money. I will describe these people as near as I can. So if they should happen to go into a community and change their names, the black people may know them any way. Mrs. Gardener is a nice appearing woman, with large full eyes, a round face, and hair neither dark nor light. She addresses you in a pleasing manner, and you will be favorably impressed by her appearance; but don't let her appearance fool you. Mr. Gardener, the so-called doctor, looks like a foolish boy, but can put up a pretty good talk. They approach you in such a manner that you will think they are some friends you had known long ago and forgotten. At the same time they are teiling you of people that you know well and these parties had sent them to you. Before you have time to think, they have sold you the medicine by keeping you interested, have your money and gone to another colored family to beat them by telling them they had been sent by the last parties they visited. They claim that they are selling medicine for the Topeka Medicine company, Topeka, Kansas. They take your case, giving you your first medicine for a certain amount of money paid down, and when you are cured you are to send the remainder to the Topeka Medicine Co. Mr. Gardener calls himself a doctor and claims he gives treatment for the above-named company. The Topeka Medicine company may be all right and their medicine may be genuine, but the stuff these people leave you is worthless. These parties came through here last May, sold medicine to several colored families on the treatment plan, and were not seen or heard of until they were arrested in Topeka last week and brought here on a charge of defrauding Mr. Wesley Falls and wife out of $6.00 which they paid these parties for medicine that had been previously paid for by their father, Jocob Welcher. It was clearly proven by the plaintiff, witnesses and county attorney that Gardener was guilty of defrauding these people out of their money and that his intentions were fraudulent all the way through, but the justice, S. E. B. Bertram, before whom the case was tried, decided in favor of Mr. Gardener, and he was released without even a fine. You could plainly see prejudice cropping up all the way through the trial. You could see from the beginning how the trial would end. Mrs. Gardener was placed on the stand and told many wrong stories, but they were believed and partly influenced the judge in his decision. I say partly, because I believe the principal cause was our faces were black. NUMBER 47. A Mr. Gardner and His Wife Giving Topeka as Their Home are Brought to Justice at Council Grove but a Prejudiced Judge Released Them. The statements of six colored witnesses counted nothing against one lying white woman. Mr. Gardener was not placed on the stand. His lawyer said for the simple reason that he didn't have good sense. A negro never gets justice any place. The law, when in the hands of prejudiced white brethren, is against him. These parties beat three colored families here out of $22.00, besides many colored families in and about Dunlap were also cheated out of their money, and one man gave them a young colt. I suppose since Gardener and his wife have been released they have gone on their way, scheming colored people out of their money. It seems that they don't visit white people at least, they didn't in this community. Your paper goes into the homee of many negro families all over the State, and wherever this piece is read, they will be warned against these swindlers. The Democratic New York World says of the race issue and election results: "Many and various were the influences that contributed to the unprecedented personal victory gained by Mr. Roosevelt. But none of the minor influences helped him more than did the abuse which the Southern politicians and newspapers heaped upon him for entertaining Booker T. Washington at the White house "The American people will never accept the dictum that a Negro scholar is inferior to a white ignoramus, that a Negro gentleman is the inferior of a white blackguard, that a man's title to consideration rests on the color of his skin and not on his character and his achievements. "The World hopes that this little lesson has finally been thoroughly learned." The Democrats are now getting aroused over the foolhardihood of that scarecrow and bugaboo of Negro domination. A clipping from a New York Democratic paper shows that the time is fast approaching when men will be received on their merits and not on their color. The Kaw Valley association was organized last Thursday in North Lawrence at the First Baptist church with eighteen churches represented. Each church paid $2. Rev. G. W. McNeal of Kansas City, Kansas was elected moderator, Rev. C. G. Fishback, vice moderator or. Rev. Harts and Rev H. W. White are members of the executive board. The hatchet and handle are buried now. B street and Central Baptist churches are sisters. The ladies met and organized the Woman's convention. Mrs. E. Gaines, president of the State convention, called the ladies together and presided until the officers were elected. Mrs. A. Myres of South Lawrence was elected president; Mrs. M. D. Jones and Mrs. H. Brown of Kansas City, Kansas, vice presidents; Mrs. Susan Tellose, treas.; Mrs. F. Laudera of Bonner Springs, see'y; Mrs. E. A: Wilson of Kansas City, corresponding see'y. The Sunday school and B. Y. P. U. were organized, also the Ministers' and Deacons' union. Adjournment was taken to meet the week before the third Lord's Day in July, 1905, at Rev. E. A. Wilson's church, Kansas City, Kansas. The colored Republicans of Kansas want to know if they will be recognized by the incoming administration by being given two or three appointments with some salary attached. The highest salary received by any colored man in the present administration is sixty dollars per month. There is not a single clerk in any department of the state house, although several applications have been made for the places. There was a vacancy in the treasurer's office a few weeks ago, and an application was made by a colored man for the position: for in truth they think they deserve something of this kind since they have always been loyal to the party and also to Mr. Kelly, but their interest was ignored. Hence, we are at a loss to know why they receive no consideration. The same is true of the auditor's office; when Urvin Cole sent in his resignation a month before it was known to the public, and when it was nown, the state auditor had placed some one to succeed him in office from Neosho county; so this office is now filled by "Neoshoites" and the "Negroites" have been ignored. There are several boards that the governor can take his choice in placing some good colored man upon. Let those of our race who are good staunch business men, and who want something at the hand of the administration, single out these positions and make applications to the governor for them. The principle of the Republican party is right, and the PLAINDEALER will not deviate a hair's breadth from it, but there are men in the party whom we would shun a thousand miles to keep from supporting. That class who are in the party for spoils and that alone. We shall not sit and see this class control and run such a great and eglorious party as this. "Not everyone that sayeth "Lord, Lord," shall enter the kingdom of Heaven," nor is it everyone that says he is a Republican who is one, nor are such persons entitled to the support of the party. We shall watch from this time to see if this class who say they are Republicans live up to the party's dictates IOLA NEWS. Mr. Hockett, of 624 North Buckeye street, is still on the sick list. He is a member of the A. F. & A. M. lodge here, and the boys are caring for him nicely. Iola is somewhat behind on the subscription list to THE PLAIN- DEALER, as the subscription here should number by the hundreds instead of teens, and we hope in a short time we will cope with any city of our size in colored population. F. L. Carter, a first-class barber from Wichita, has located in Basset, an addition to Iola, but is still unhandy to the men of Iola proper, such a man is very much needed in our city. Mr. Carter comes highly recommended to us as a K. of P. and an Odd Fellows, and if he will locate here, he will find it a better situation and more business. We wish to introduce Mr. Carter to the Iola public, as we think he is a business man, and more over we praise him, because he has subscribed for THE PLAINDEALER for one year. This means a man cannot do business, unless he spends money to aid some other colored enterprise. Mr. John Murphy, also of Wichita, runs a first-class restau- Rev. Duncan, of Bassett, while at work in the stone quarry at Concrete, received a severe cut in his right hand. He is unable to work, but his wound is not serious. Invitations are out, announcing the marriage of Miss Josephine Lanagan to Mr. C. Hickerson November 27 at the Second Baptist church. I wish to say to the Iola readers that I have lately been appointed to agency and correspondence here. I will be very much pleased to have old subscriptions paid up and the same renewed. Remember THE PLAINDEALER only costs $1.00 per year, which is even less than two cents per copy, and no such paper as THE PLAINDEALER can be printed and mailed .o different towns and States, as this paper has rapidly pushed her way from the lower round to its approved height, and as these men have so earnestly worked to give the colored people a race paper, one owned by their own people, something to be proud of, they should appreciate it more freely by subscribing at once. Miss Matilda Campbell, of Nevada, Mo., is visiting friends and relatives here. Rev. Dr. Bass, pastor of the A. M. E. mission at Bassett, will give a concert at the Robinson hall, Nov. 23d. For the benefit of his church all are invited to attend. Mrs. J. Young, of Emporia, wife of late Rev. J. Young, is here visiting friends. Rev. Williams, pastor of the A. M. E. church, conducted a week's revival, assisted by Rev. Pope, of Topeka. Rev. Dr. Bass will give another concert in Bassett Nov. 29. Rev. Williams and wife will arrive here Wednesday, Nov. 29.

Jackson's 23rd Regiment band went to St. Joseph yesterday to play for the annual conclave of the Missouri Valley Knights Templar association which met there. This band is becoming quite noted and we hold it as an honor to have such an organization in our midst. It is rumored that Mr. Archie Bigbee, the popular groceryman on 13th and Quincy, will lead one of South Topeka's young ladies to the altar before the holidays are over.

No man has more strongly impressed himself on the country than William Jennings Bryan, twice defeated for the presidency by the Republican party. He stands today the greatest man of his party. Mr. Bryan is not only great as a politician, but he is also admired and loved because of his devotion to principle. He will lecture Saturday night at the Auditorium on "The Value of An Ideal." Don't fail to hear him. We are proud to note that our friend, Chas Luling, the popular insurance commissioner of Sedrick county, ran next to President Roosevelt in Shawnee county. Mr. Luling is a staunch republican and is the only one of the State officers who have not had any trouble during their administration. He can always be relied upon to do just what he promises; he is frank to say what he will do, and accordingly works to that end. Mr. Townsley Roby, father of Richard Roby, the popular job printer of this city, died at his home in Metropolis, Indiana. He was an old soldier and held a government position at Washington. He only recently visited his son in this city, having cast his votes at the election on the eighth for the Republican party, leaving the same night for his home. Stricken with paralysis while enroute to his home, he died in a short time afterward from the effects. A Fiendsh Murder. The bridal murder of Mrs. Nickum, white, last Saturday night, was one of the diabolical crimes in criminal annals. After being struck over the head with an ax, her body was slashed with a knife by her demon assailant. So far no clue has been obtained as to the murderer, and no motive can be assigned to the deed. For two days the officers were in search of a suspect that was said to be crazy and wore a black beard and a long overcoat. Our job printer, J. M. Dorsey, happens to answer to that description, and on Tuesday night he was picked by the police as the villain, and it was with much difficulty and considerabe explaining that Mr. Dorsey convinced the officers that he was not the individual for whom they were in search.

Gamble, the pastor, was assisted by Rev. Griffith, P. E. The H. H. girls of the Second C. P. church gave their Thanksgiving dinner at the church Thursday, which was greatly enjoyed by all who were present. The program which was rendered in the evening was especially good, but time and space will not permit particular comment of any member. The H. H. girls showed themselves to be charming entertainers, and they wish to thank all who assisted them in making their entertainment a success. INSTITUTE NOTES. The second year Normal class, under the direction of Miss Minnie E. Howell, will render a most excellent program next Saturday evening, and the friends of Topeka are cordially invited to attend. Mrs.G.T. Murray of Kansas City, was a recent visitor to the Institute. She was highly pleased with the progress of her two sons. We still have room for a few more earnest young men. No young man who desires an education need deprive himself of the opportunity of securing the same. Many of the white churches took an offering for our Institution Sunday and Thanksgiving. We hope that the colored people will follow this example. We are always in need of donations. Do not forget that Prof. Booker T. Washington will visit Topeka on Tuesday, January 17,'05. Reduced rates have been given over all roads. Come and bring your friends. The students were given a social Thanksgiving evening. A very enjoyable time was had. South Africa a Nice Place. Continued from Page One. and Graaf-reinet, whilst I went on to Beaufort-west. I went by the famous "Train-de Luxe." This reminds me very much of one of our through Pullman trains. Each compartment is fitted up with toilet tables, cushioned chairs, electric lights and fans. As we passed by a native kraal, I was very much amused by some small boys who were waving at the passing train. Each one had a hat or bush with which he waved, but one little chap, not being able to find something with which to wave, and being determined not to be outdone, hastily took off his long shirt, (his sole garment) and with it waved lustily. After stopping two days at Beaufort-west, I came on to Cape Town, arriving here at 5:35 Friday evening, October 7th, having been out six weeks and three days. P.S. I forgot to mention that while at East London, Dr. Attaway and myself were sent for by the colonial secretary, Col. Crews, who promised to visit our school. Our trip by boat was on the Indian Ocean.

JEFFERSON BARRACKS. Recently the soldiers were all out in full dress uniform, which presented quite a gorgeous appearance. The first number on the program was a military drill, which was highly commendable for its precision; the next in order was speech making and Sergt. W. W. Penn, first sergeant of troop K of the ninth cavalry, made the speech of the evening. Sergt. Penn is an old soldier, having served in all of this country's wars since the emancipation, and has held some positions of trust and honor, with honor to himself and credit to his race. Sergt. Jasper Jones, first sergeant of troop I of the ninth cavalry, another true and tried old soldier took the stand and treated us to a fine and logical speech. Corp. M. T. Dean, troop clerk of troop K of the ninth cavalry, also made a fine speech. The hour having arrived for refreshments, the big crowd marched into the spacious dining hall where the tables were laden with such things as the kings call extras and after satisfaction had been reached, the music began and the soldiers two-stepped until some of them had to three-step in order to get to their quarters on time. The soldiers of this command are highly pleased with their new station. Private W. B. Scott, of troop K of the ninth cavalry, was taken suddenly sick this morning and had to be carried to the hospital on stretches. Private Scott's parents live in St. Louis. We hope to have him again soon in our ranks. NEVADA, MO. We have for our pastor this year at the A.M.E. church, Rev. J. Y. Meadows, which the people are very much impressed with.

Pooh! Kansas wont come within 300 votes of the winner. You know we haveto be showed."* At this time of the year every- body should praise and thank the Lord, our God for his goodness to us during the year past. We should thank our Creator for our existence, that we live at this particular period of the world’s history, that we live and are an active, growing, rising part of this great energetic nation, and best of all, that we live in Kan- sas, the garden spot of the west and the home of political equal- ity and recognition, and schools for the making of intelligent, useful citizenship. We should thank God for our abundant har- vests, for the progress of the institutions that are working for our aplift, and for the recent sweeping triumph of the prin- ciples and ideas of the Republi- can Party that are to be carried out for our future good and welfare. As we look backward over the efforts of the past six months that the Branch Office has been established in this city, and then look forward and see the bright- ness and success that await us we have much for which to be thankful. Beginning with the new year we shall inaugurate important changes in this de- partmant. We are thankful for the hearty co-operation of the colored people, their rallying to support alive, wide-awake, en- ergetic, enterprising race journal that stands fearlessly for right, represents the progressive cle- ment of the race and contends for all the good that is good and great for our people.
