THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. POLITICAL PIE HUNTERS VOLUME VI. The Governor of Kansas will Have His Hands Full to Satisfy the Desires of the Numerous Pie Hunters Applicants Outnumber the Vacancies. Six and Seven for Each Job. The new governor of Kansas will have a great amount of patronage to dispense. There are a number of heads of departments who held over during the Stanley and Bailey administrations who will hand their resignations to Mr. Hoch as soon as he goes into office. Already there are more applicants for office under Governor elect Hoch than he can possibly satisfy. Some of those who are after big places will have to be content with smaller ones and many will receive nothing. Places on the state board of charities are regarded as important and valuable. There are five members of the board, but only one vacancy will occur by expiration of term next year. G. W. Kanavel's time will be out April 1. He is a candidate for reappointment. Governor Bailey appointed K. Vincent in vacation. If undisturbed Vincent's term will not expire till April 1, 1898. But as Mr. Vincent's appointment has not been confirmed by the senate, Governor Hoth may send in another name. Henry J. Allen's term will expire April 1, 1906, and the terms of C. A. McNeil and T. B. Denman will expire April 1, 1907. A member of the board of charities receives a salary of $2,000 a year, and he pays his own expenses. The expenses, however, are not heavy. When on trips for the state he generally rides on railroad passes and eats and sleeps at the institutions. The board of charities appoints all the superintendents and other officers and employees of the institutions under its control, although under the present system the governor helps make up the list. The board of charities appoints about 1200 persons. The terms of members of the board are for four years. ADAMUCK'S PLACE ATTRACTIVE. Another good office is that of bank commissioner. Governor Hoch will have that place at his disposal March 1 or possibly earlier. Morton Albaugh's term expires March 1, but it is reported that he may resign before that time to take the United States district court clerkship. The position of bank commissioner pays $2,500 a year. The commissioner names two office deputies at $1,800 a year each, one deputy at $1,500 and one atenographer at $1,200. Another excellent position is that of penitentiary warden. The salary is $12,000 a year, including the keep of the warden and his family. E. B. Jewett's term will expire in April. He has held the position two terms, but he has many friends among the supporters of the governor-elect, who are demanding that he be retained. The warden, with the assistance of the governor, has a fine line of positions to give out. They are: Deputy, $1500: one assistant, $1200; chief clerk, $1,000; one assistant, $800; another assistant $700; physician, $1,400; chaplain, $1,200; engineer, $1200; one assistant engineer, $900; mine inspector, $1,500 steward, $900; eighty five other places worth from $600 to $900 a year. The position of state grain inspector is also attractive to the office seekers. The salary is $1800 a year. Inspector Radford's term expires in April next year. The inspector appoints a corps of forty-seven helpers. They are: One deputy, $12,00; one deputy, $1020; chief clerk, $1,200; collector, $900; stenographer, $900; clerk $720; fourteen inspectors, $1020 each; seventeen weighmasters, $900 each; ten general assistants, $720 each. The state oil inspector, M. C. Kelly, has a good job. His term also expires in April. His salary is $1500 a year. He has a clerk at $720; five deputies at $9co each and he appoints fifty deputies in small towns who receive a percentage of the collections for their work. THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE FORCE. The office force of the governor consists of a private secretary at $200; an executive clerk at $1,500 and a stenographer at $1200. The adjutant-general may be considered a member of the governor's office force. He is on the governor's staff. His salary is $1500 a year. In his office there is a quartermaster at $1,200, a clerk at $720, a stenographer at $600 and an ordnance sergeant at $600 a year. The governor appoints a military board of five members with compensation at $5 a day and expenses for short sessions held quarterly. The governor also names a dozen or more officers for his staff who receive regular army pay for the ten days of the annual state encampments. He appoints a part of the force of state house janitors. Another appointment which the governor makes without the confirmation of the senate is that of state accountant. The salary is $1500 a year. There are many applicants for places on the state textbook commission. The scramble for these places is hard to understand when the fact that the pay is only $3 a day for tenday sessions three times a year, is taken into consideration. The appointments, however, are for fouryear terms, and there are some large contracts to be let during the term. The present members who were appointed in vacation and whose successors, therefore, may be appointed at any time are H. F. Butcher, Argentine; A. B. Carney, Concordia; J. C. Stare, Scott City; C.G. Swingle, Manhattan; D. O. McCray, Topeka; John Madden, Emporia; S. I. Hale, La Crosse and G. W. Kendrick, Leavenworth. The politicians think that of the members of the present board, D. O. MrCray and John Maddox may be retained by Mr. Hoch. Of the numerous state boards many of the members will hold on through Hoch's term, having been lately appointed by Gov. Bailey. Most of the board members receive $5 dollars a day and expenses for the time employed. The exceptions are the directors of the penitentiary who receive $900 a year; the managers of the soldier's home who receive $75 a month, and the managers of the Hutchinson reformatory, $1000 each. The boards the members of which receive per diem and expenses are: Medical registration, five members; regents of the Quindaro school, five members: regents of the agricultural college, five members; barbera' board three members; dental board, five members: board of education, five members; regents of the University of Kansas, five members; regents of the state normal, five members, and the live stock sanitary board. The state board of health, eight members, has no per diem, but expenses are allowed. The board elects a secretary, who receives $1,200 and a stenographer at $600. D. W. Travis of Pratt, state fish warden, will hold his position until March 15, 1907, having been appointed for four years by Governor Bailey. His pay is $1,200 a year. The salary of the employment agent, T. B. Gerow, is $1,200 a year, and he holds his place at the will of the governor. This place may be abolished and the work performed by a clerk in the labor bureau. Governor Hoch will have the appointment of a state forestry commissioner at a salary of $1,000 a year, with a foreman at $480. The place will be vacant in April of next year. Following is a list of candidates for places under Governor Hoch: Reformatory board—Earl Akers, Florence; J. A. Campbell, Severance; George S. Ricker, Wichita. Parole officer, Hutelinson reformatory —O. J. Nugent, Hiawatha. State board of charities—Dr. R. G. Mendenhall, LaCygne; N. E. Wood, Pittsburg; J. W. Farrow, Moline; E. G. Bartberger, Merriam; James Hunter, Greeley; A. W. Robinson, Cawker City; George W. Jones, Leavenworth; W. H. Smith, Marysville; A. W. Stubbs, Kansas City; E. W. Meyer, Iola; Nelson Case, Oswego; J. N. Johnson, Oskaloosa; Rube Vincent, Washington; George W. Kanavel, Sedgwick; Dr. Martha Bacon. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 9, 1904. A Few Holding Back in the Traces. While the colored people of Topeka are progressing rapidly in the various industries and business enterprises, we have a few old moss backs who are keeping pace with his image "the donkey" and are holding back in the traces. We have a prosperous undertaking establishment operated by Measrs. Stonecrest and Hamilton, and the business of the colored people and their societies is given to them except the Benevolence Order, an organization composed of our old respectable colored citizens and bossed by a few who have not become accustomed to people of their own race doing business but are constantly giving what they have to white men and using what little influence they may have in that direction. We hope those members of the Benevolence and those people who are believers in race pride would get together in their meeting and overthrow this class of Negroes who are immeding our progress. The sooner this old class of hinderers of Negro progress are dead, buried and forgotten, the better it will be for those who are trying to do something for the race. It is appalling to see the white undertakers burying the colored people's dead when they have a first class undertaking business of their own. The white people draw the line very strong in this direction, and seldom have a colored undertaker handle their dead, but yet we have a few old deceitful, bigoted Negroes who are tracing up white people for popularity. If we had our way, we would not allow a funeral to be preached in any of our churches where a white undertaker officiated when there were first-class colored men in the same business and who are as reasonable as anyone. It will not be long before the people of our race rise in their might against this kind of outrageous business and fail to attend funerals where white undertakers are allowed to take the place of colored ones. "Get thee behind me, Satan," for we are the savior of the people and will not be impeded in our progress. Kansas City: Matt McDonald, Strong City. Jobs at the penitentiary—J. M.

KAN. We were in Newton, Kansas, last week and found the colored people progressing rapidly. We saw Mr. Mallory who is in the drug business and is accumulating considerable wealth. He owns one of the best pieces of property in Newton and is doing extensive business. We also saw our old friend and soldier, Lieut. Beo. E. Payne, who is railroading. He is now comfortably situated in his beautiful home with 20 acres of fertile land adjoining the city of Newton; this gentleman also owns twenty odd head of cattle and the same number ding Back in THE CLOGGING THE WOULD BE OVERTHREASIVE ONES PUT FOR of Topeka are progressing rapidly in old moss backs who are keeping pace with We have a prosperous undertaking east the business of the colored people and an organization composed of our old come accustomed to people of their re to white men and using what little men of the Benevolence and those meeting and overthrow this class of class of hinderers of Negro progress so are trying to do something for the colored people's dead when they have an draw the line very strong in this direct yet we have a few old deceitful, If we had our way, we would not a late undertaker officiated when there we reasonable as anyone.

He has a loving wife and three sons who take great pride in looking after the interest of their beautiful home. We had dinner with our friend and must say we fared sumptuously, and from the looks of the larder, which contained a whole beef, the other things in proportion, we would have been pleased to have wintered with him. We met Mr. S. Framie, a prosperous dairyman, who has over fifty head of milch cows and seventy-five head of hogs. He has fifty acres of land with a beautiful residence upon it adjoining the city of Newton. He has made a landmark for the race and we would that others would follow his example. We found Patrick Rickman and Mr. C. R. Raimey who are plasterers and doing the stone work on one of the best buildings in Newton. These two men are first-class mechanics and are teaching the young boys of the race to learn trades. May they prosper and continue in the good work. Miss Equilla Coleman is financial secretary of the Knights and Ladies of Protection and is making excellent headway. Her husband is one of the leading men of Newton and is highly respected by all. We met our old friend and correspondent, Mr. Jas. Gross, who owns one of the finest barber shops in Kansas and is doing well. We have made arrangements with him to renew the correspondence for The Plaindealer from that city and we would like for all of our readers to send their news to him, or telephone him as the case may be, as he is located in the Harvey House barber shop, and being convenient to all trains can get the news pertaining to the welfare and interest of our people in Newton. Mrs. Mary Grant, an old resident of Newton, who came to Kansas in 71 and whose husband died shortly afterward, has reared eight children and managed to keep the 160 acres of land left by her husband, while dozens of men who settled here at the same time, have lost their homes and gone elsewhere. She has stayed here and battled it out and now owes no one a cent. This shows what a woman with honesty and a determination can do. WICHITA. O. J. Brooks of Kansas City will spend a week in the city on business. Revival meetings are in progress at the Second Baptist church. The Golden Link Art club met Tuesday afternoon with Mrs. E. Landrum, a pleasant social time was spent and a danty luncheon served. Miss Minnie Morris was tendered a most pleasant party on Friday evening of last week in honor of her fourteenth birthday. The Ladies' Sewing Circle of the Second Baptist church met Monday afternoon with Mrs. J. H. Massey. Mrs. S. Grayson has been quite ill for several weeks. Miss Grace Baker has accepted a position in Morsenan & Innes' Dry Goods Co. The Ladies Guild were entertained Tuesday evening at the home of Miss Lulu Covington's. Music was furnished by Messrs. Dunson & Hall mandolin club. A guessing contest was a pleasant social feature of the evening in which all took part. A handsome prize was won by Mr. R. Hall. An elegant repast was served and a delightful evening was spent by those present. Mr. E. Thaddeus Sunmytt has a regular run as mail clerk on the Panhandle branch out of Wiebita. Rev. Beasley preached a very instructive sermon at the Second Baptist church last Sunday night. the Traces. WHEELS OF OUR THROWN AND FORWARD.

Hobson, of Columbus, Kan., is in the city visiting her children. Mrs. Plumb Bank returned to her home at Ft. Riley after a pleasant visit with relatives and friends. Mr. Lee Anderson, cook on Supt. Fox's ear, was in the city Monday visiting his family. The G. L. A. Club met at the residence of Mrs. Ed. Landrum Tuesday. They worked for about an hour after which a dainty luncheon was served. They will meet at Mrs. Jno. Chinneth's next Tuesday. Mrs. George White and Mrs. Lee Anderson entertained complimentary to Mrs. P. Banks last Friday night. Quite a number were present. Every one had an enjoyable time. At the proper time refreshments were served. At a late hour all left proclaiming Mesdames Anderson and White as ideal hostesses. Those at the party were Mesdames Thos Fines, Chas. Gordon, Theo. Kennedy, P Banks, G. White and Lee Anderson. Misses Marie Stevenson. Sallie Rawles. Elizabeth.

It Will Be Worth Seeing. VARDAMAN IN TROUBLE D. E. Caldwell Tells of Vardaman's Mistake in Answering a Telegram From the President in Regard to the Mississippi State Building at the Fair Mississippians Denounce Him. Mr. Henry Taylor has gone to Illinois where he will enter the old soldier's home. Mrs. W. S. Carrion will visit in Kansas City next week. Dr. W. S. Carrion was recently presented with a souvenir watch charm by Dr. Shepherd of West Africa, which was made from the knife of King Lon Kigo, 1,300 miles in the interior of Africa. Miss Lizzie Anderson, who teaches school at Ponca City, spent a few days in the city, the guest of Mrs. W. E. Jones. Mrs. Scott died Thursday after a lingering illness, and was buried Friday afternoon. Rev. J. H. Rainey of Hutchinson has been in the city for the past three weeks conducting revival services at the Second Baptist church. A great work has been accomplished during his stay and the church has been revived spiritually and financially. The christians have been wonderfully revived and have contributed more for the financial support of the church since the organization. Rev. Rainey has succeeded in paying off the mortgage which for ten years has hung as a cloud over the church and hindered our progress. In the rally he planned 888. Forty dollars was raised. On Monday night a short program was rendered, and a lecture by J. H. Raimey, after which the mortgage so long kept was read and burned before the altar. This meeting has been wonderfully beneficial to us. It has filled us with new zeal and earnestness as christian workers, and will heighten our aim, intensify our efforts and sweeten our labors for future years. Mr. and Mrs. B. M. Crow entertained at dinner November 22 a number of their friends in honor of their first anniversary of married life. Among the guests were Mrs. L. A. Graves, of Council Bluff, Iowa; Mr. and Mrs. Taylor and daughter of Lyons, Kan. Many beautiful and useful presents of wood were received. We wish Mr. and Mrs. Crow a continuance of the happy state of married life as hitherto enjoyed. Mr. Riley Wickliffe has left for Kansas City where he will join his wife as they expect to make that their future home. Mrs. N. O. Berry entertained at dinner last Saturday Mrs. Taylor and daughter of Lyons, Dr. Washington and sister, Miss N. H. Crow. Mrs. R. B. Parkerson is able to walk about the house again with the aid of a crutch. Miss Taylor of Lyons, Rev. H. Williamson, Newton, Kan., took breakfast with Miss N. Crow last Sunday morning. The Pleasant Hour club met Thursday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. Wright Pope. A delicious lunch was served as usual. Many interesting plans were devised to better the condition of the home. All report a delightful time. The reception given by the Baptist Art club was quite an enjoyable affair. It was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Shackleford. The guests were delightfully entertained by our musician, Miss Stella Shackleford. A very unique little wedding took place at Falls City, Neb., when Miss Maire Fallisa Hawkins was married to Mr. J. H. Hughes of Hiawatha, Kan., the result of an affection that has existed since the school days of the couple. The bride is well known and has just recently returned from Europe and noted points in America where she has been traveling as lady's maid. She was married in a gown which she purchased and had made while in Paris, France. The ceremony was performed with a ring presented by the groom. Rev. Smith of the Episcopal church officiating. The groom is one of Hiawatha's most aspiring young men and is in civil service at that place. Their many friends wish them a happy future. I have wanted a chance at the distinguished Mississippi governor, (no doubt one among the best orators in America,) for some time. Now, as his state has gone back upon him and is about to give him h—l in full, I will fall in line, not because Mississippi has, but because he deserves it. And I long to see the day when every American citizen will turn his back in disgust on any man, whoever he may be, who condemns universal education, which, after all, is the only salvation and perpetuation of any nation. In the Commercial-Appeal of Tuesday, Nov. 29, we have an article appearing on the first page, entitled "Vardaman in Trouble." What is the matter? We find that President Roosevelt did the state of Mississippi the courtesy to visit her state building at the world's fair, and expressed his extreme satisfaction and congratulation of the Mississippi exhibit while at the fair Saturday. President Francis of the world's fair building wired the governor the president's congratulations for the state of Mississippi. The governor's reply was not satisfactory. It was tinged with insult to the president and to the nation, whereupon the distinguished citizens of Jackson sent telegrams both to President Roosevelt and to President Francis, correcting Vardaman's mistake. The Commercial-Appeal the same date indirectly has the following to say quoting the Jackson Evening News: "It the News mistakes not, there will be general condemnation in this state for this act. He has had a fine opportunity to rise above his petty spite and prejudices. He was elected by reason of Roosevelt's action in Indianola, for who is it that believes that in normal times Vardaman could have been elected governor? Vardaman in turn has done more to elect Roosevelt than any one man." The editor then goes on further and deplores the fact that poor Mississippi is judged by men like Vardaman, who seem to be unacquainted with the common courtesies of life. We pity the state of Mississippi, but its citizens are only reaping what they have sown. There are many good men in the state from among whom a fair and impartial governor might have been selected. But, no, sir, being swayed by the superior eloquence of Vardaman, they followed him without reason almost to the land of perdition. You Mississippians did not stop in your mad rush to consider that he, Vardaman, was advocating the violation of the very principles of the American government. "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none," is the ensign that distinguishes republics from monarchies. Mississippi, we sympathize with your unfortunate position. If the congressman from Alabama and Gov. Vardaman were placed in a bag it would be hard to tell which would fall out first. I guess we had better call upon Nick Chiles of THE TOPEKA PLAIN- DEALER to pray for you, notwithstanding you tried to fool him down there to go hunting, so you could kill him for honestly abusing you all for lynching and burning innocent people. Yours respectfully, D. E. CALDWELL. ST. JOE. MO. The friends of Dr. Ricketts are very anxious to have him get the position of jail physician. Dr. P. M. Edwards has returned from Kansas City where he went to attend a meeting of the executive committee of the Inter-State Literary Association. The trial of Dr. Carrion of an assault with intent to kill upon Dr. Crossland was postponed last Monday until March as Dr. Crossland claimed he was unable to talk. The Fortnightly Study club met with Mrs. J. U. Olliver last Saturday. Mrs. Harry Smith left Saturday for her home in Denver. She was accompanied by her daughter, Mrs. G. M. Allen and infant son, who will spend the winter in Denver. Mrs. Parhm of Kansas City was the guest of Preston Taylor last week. NUMBER 49. ARKANSAS CITY HUTCHINSON. We find that Governor Bailey had to change the Barber Commission for the want of competency. We insisted upon the Governor appointing a colored man as one of this Board, but he would not hear us and instead selected three incompetent white men of whom he became so ashamed that he asked them for their resignation. Now, the laugh is on the governor. We know dozens of colored men in the barber profession who would have filled the position with honor and credit to the state as well as the governor. It is a galling shame for the governor of this great state of Kansas to acknowledge to the people that he appointed an incompetent Board who could scarcely read and write, much less keep correct account of business. We do not know of a single first class barber among the colored profession that could not have filled the position to the entire satisfaction of all. We predict that Governor Hoch will not make such fatal mistakes, but will recognize his colored brother who has been in that profession all his life and knows something about it. Stella McIntyre, Plaintiff, vs. J. M. McIntyre, Defendant The State of Kansas to J. M. McIntyre:—The said defendant, J. M. McIntyre, is hereby notified that he has been sued in the above named court by said plaintiff, Stella McIntyre, and that he must answer her petition now on file in said court on or before the 20th day of January, 1905, or the allegations and averments therein will be taken as true and judgment rendered according to prayer of petition divoreing said plaintiff from said defendant.

The Afro-American Advancement club of this city held a great meeting recently complimentary to the soldiers of the 9th cavalry, and to ratify the election of the Republican candidates. Refreshments were served in abundance, after which spoeches were made by Major W. H. Thompson, Sheriff-elect Andrews, J. U. Grant, Quartermaster-Sergeant Jordan of the 9th cavalry, and J. B. Bass of THE PLAINDEALER. The greatest of enthusiasm was manifest, and it was a memorable event. His honor, the mayor, W. H. Thompson, congratulated the club, the citizens and soldiers present on the great victory achieved, and welcomed the 9th cavalry to Junction City, and assured them that the highest aim of the administration was to treat everybody right and get along. His remarks were well received, especially from him, the chief executive. Sergt. Jordan responded to the welcome address of the mayor in a few well chosen remarks, in which he reviewed the past record of the famous 9th cavalry and assured everyone that the members of the 9th would be the same gentlemen in the future as in the past, and that in no case would they kick unless they were sat upon. J. B. Bass was the last speaker on program and great was his reception as to enthusiasm manifested, and at the close of his effort many more friends were added to the list of THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. President Richardson presided at the meeting, while Eli Perkins, N. B. Aldridge, Lloyd Hardin, Mr. Crews, Sergt. Barnes, Mr. Wilkes and other members looked after the comfort of the guests and served the viands.

Brown, Carrie Bentley, Misses Mabel Bryant and Hattie Harper. There were about fifty invited guests who were served to a dainty two course luncheon by the hostess. Mrs. Brown was the recipient of a number of valuable presents consisting of china and linen. T. H. Grant of Tonganovie writes us under date of Dec. 11 that two young sharks have been working a picture game on the people of that community collecting half of the cost of the pictures with the promise that they will deliver the goods in fourteen days from date of contract, and as yet both they and the pictures have failed to materialize. This game is so old that the people ought to be wise enough to let this class of sharks pass. David R. Keps was taking the pictures and collecting for same, and one Pete Sweney was to deliver them. Let this be a warning so when these gentlemen show up, first get the pictures and then give up the money. A very quiet wedding occurred in South Topeka last Sunday morning immediately after services at the Second C. P. church. The contracting parties were G. A. Bigbee and Miss Lona Gains. The groom needs no introduction to our readers as he is well known in this city as well as in Kansas City and Springfield, Mo. He is an enterprising young man and has built up quite a reputation for himself in the business line. The bride is an accomplished young lady and has many friends who wish her a pleasant voyage through her wedded life. Mr. and Mrs. Bigbee are at home at 1300 Quiney. Mr. Abram Green was born September 9, 1841, Dantville, Boyle county, Kentucky. Died December 4, 1904, aged 63 years, 3 months, 25 days. He entered the army in 1862 at the age of 21 years and served a faithful soldier until the close of the war. He has been a resident of Topeka about 26 or 27 years. He professed a hope in Christ quite young, and since coming to Topeka he has been a member of the African Baptist church. He said he knew he had neglected his duty toward his church but he never ceased praying for the Lord to fit and prepare his soul for the solemn change, and that he was ready and willing to die. He bid this vain world farewell twice and clapped his hands, then breathed his last breath. He leaves five children, four daughters and one son, ten grand children, two sisters and a host of friends to mourn his loss. But we are satisfied that our loss is heaven's gain. Died—At her home, 622 Filmore, Sunday, December 4, after an illness of about nine weeks, Mrs. Elvira Brown daughter of A. Bearden, NeoshoFalle Kansas. Deceased was born November 19, 1872, and came to Topeka about thirteen years ago. She afterward was united in marriage to Mr. Jas. Brown of this city, and has lived a true and devoted wife until death. Mrs. Brown was a member of the Christian church of this city, always living a devout Christian, and stood high in not only the Christian circles but in the community in general. She had been in declining health for some time, and her husband spared neither time nor money in doing all possible to restore her health. But the "Grim Monster of Death" had claimed her as a victim, and no hand was able to avert his deadly grasp. Mr. Brown is one of Topeka's highly esteemed young men, having been in the employ of Swift & Holiday, one of the leading drug stores of the city, for seventeen years. Besides a husband, she leaves a mother, four sisters and two brothers to mourn her untimely demise. The funeral services, conducted by Rev. B. C. Duke, were held from the St. John A. M. E. church Tuesday at 2:00 p. m. The Benevolent Lodge No. 3, of which she was a member, turned out to pay their last respects to their departed sister.

Rev. Ransom Givss Figures. Please permit me to reply to an article reproduced in your paper November 11th, headed "Wanting in Merit," published in the Topeka State Journal. Remember that I have no criticism to offer upon any of the report except so much of it as refers to J. R. Ransom; the balance I know nothing about. But I wish to brand the author of that part of the report, be they who they will or may, as infamous falsifiers. For the women referred to, Mrs. Ellen Foster, of Parsons, and Mrs. McCloud, of Ottawa, had turned their papers and evidence and proofs all over into the hands of attorneys in their respective towns, with instructions to sue before I ever knew anything about the case at all. The advice I gave them, if advice it may be called, was if they were going to bring suit against the Knights and Ladies of Protection, was to employ a lawyer in Topeka, where the case would have to be heard, and advised them no farther than to say, if they had a just claim they ought to be paid, if not they ought not to be paid; I made no pretensions to know the merit or deniter nor did I seek to know. All of this I can prove by Rev. F. G. Bair, Mr. Henry Woods and Mrs. McCloud's employed attorney at Ottawa, and by hundreds of people in Parsons as it relates to Mrs. Foster's case. I have not publicly nor privately directly or indirectly opposed or fought the Knights and Ladies of Protection and I am tired of being publicly and privately accused of it by men who have no regard on earth for the truth. It appears to me that they are inviting a fight. I hope this reply will close this whole incident so far as I am concerned. J. R. RANSOM. NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT. State of Kansas, Shawnee county, ss.

Still, though we hunt the wide world o'er Love sister, father, brother; Who else in life, in heart so sore Can take the place of mother. —Capt. Albert Ross. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. Heard on the campus prior to examinations: First Student: "I am going to church today. I must pray that I may be successful in the examination this week." Second Student: "Well. I don't know, I never had much faith in death bed conversion." The examinations of the first term are over and students who have put in three months of faithful study have witnessed the desirable result of patient toil "while their companions slept." Fortunately, in this institution the class of indolent pupils forms a very small minority, and all departments report excellent results for the term's work. Professor Murray has an interesting and enthusiastic class in photography. Beware of the "kodak fiend." The Thanksgiving holiday was a very enjoyable season to all who remained at the institution as well as to those who returned to their respective homes. Dr. Allen shares no pain to render life as homelike as possible to those consigned to his care. The large and valuable addition of books to the library, through the appropriation of the last legislature, is having a most excellent effect upon the student body, and from the seniors down well planned reading is being done. It is now possible to require of students much original research and investigation and this is done by all of the departments. Professor West makes an excellent librarian. Governor: Dockery recently appointed Hon. E. S. Wilson of Mexico to fill the vacancy on the Board of Regents occasioned by the resignation of Judge Louis Hoffman of Sedalia. Professor Moten of the Department of Mathematics has recently visited some of the leading high and normal schools of the state. Other members of the faculty will from time to time take advantage of the privilege of comparing work done here with that of other leading institutions of learning. LAWRENCE, KAN. Rev. S. W. Beasly, the evangelist, preached at the First Baptist church, North Lawrence, last Sunday to appreciative audiences. Rev. Jones has a fine congregation and people.

The affair was excellent in every respect. Rev. H. I. Jones spent Wednesday in Topeka on business. The Forum was largely attended last Sunday as usual. The honorable W. C.

The concert given by the Twentieth Century Club girls last Wednesday evening was largely attended and was indeed a success. An excellent programme was rendered, some of the talented young people of the city taking part. A large crowd witnessed the foot ball game Thanksgiving day and it is well to say that both cities can feel very proud of their excellent players. Miss Mable Glead has returned to the city after visiting about two months in Kansas City. Society was all astir last week as we all know that Williams and Walker were in the city. Who's all right? W.

Moore died at his home northeast of this city, on Friday morning, November 18th, after a lingering illness of several months. Funeral services were held at the M. E. church in this city by Rev. Romine and the remains were laid to rest in the cemetery here. Thomas P. Moore was born in Harrodsburg, Merver county, Kentucky, January 11th, 1846. He lived there with his parents until after the Civil war. During the period of slavery, he together with a sister and brother attended a secret night school, it being unlawful at that time to teach a slave and he there acquired a common school education. After the war he resided in Kentucky until 1878 when he and his family moved to this county and settled on a homestead where he resided at the time of his death. Mr. Moore was a self made man in every sense of the word. He was an excellent business man, a devoted husband and father and a consistent Christian having been a member of the Baptist church for over thirty years prior to the time of his death. He has occupied various positions of importance in his community and was liked and respected by all who knew him, and in his death Hodgeman county has lost one of its best citizens. His wife and children will have the sympathy of everyone in this their hour of bereavement. CUTS Engraving Dept. of the Mail and Breeze (Depends) makes our CUTS.
