The Uniform Rank, K. of P. E. and W. H. of the two Kansas cities gave a grand drill and reception at M. and O. Hall, Tuesday evening. Dancing followed the drill. A. E, Carr of Carr & Co. sanitary men, is suffering with a very painful bone-felon upon his right hand. The debate, "Resolved, that Brutus was justified in killing Caesar", was hotly contested at A. M. E. Literary, last Thursday evening. Affirmative, T. A. Harvey and Will Cook were defeated by the negative, M. H. Martin and Dorsey Green. The Negro Directory of the two Kansas Cities with its fine illustrations and valuable information continues to be praised by the noted Negroes of the West. This week Hon. S. Lainge Williams, of Chicago, compiler of National Negro Business League of which Booker Washington is the president writes. "Thank you and congratulate you for the Directory. It is a fine peice of wo.k and the showing is remarkable." John Lange, manager of famous Blind Boone Concert company writes from away up in Minnesota: "Have just received Directory. Must say I am delighted with it. It is elevating, it goes to show our white friends as well as black that we are doing something, that we have some brain and some money. We are in the procession, moving slow, but sure. Wish we had more enterprises like yours who would show the bright side of the black man, and not give so much time --- showing us up in the other light. I acknowledge we aren't perfect but only forty days old as compared with time. I think we are a pretting healthy baby with all the odds against us." The merit of the colored Directory for a return holiday gift stands undisputed, and corroborated by the the "style" the the best colored families of two Kansas Cities have created in purchasing them for the center tables of their parlors and front rooms. Every Negro home in west should own a copy. 50cts sent at once bringe a mailed copy. Chas. W. Fry and Miss Maggie Gerron were married at the home of the bride's parents in this city last Friday evening. The bride and groom are at home to their friends at 404 Armstrong Ave. Bishop Abram Grant filled the pulpit at the A. M. E. Church, Sunday morning. A large congregation was present and twelve additions were made to the church. The Kansas City delegation to the Inter-State Literary Association represents the best brain of Wyandotte, and expect a royal visit in hospitable old Topeka this week. Mr. and Mrs. Braxton Isaacs entertained at dinner Christmas day in honor of E. J. Cooper, the father of Mrs. Isaacs. Mr. Cooper is Past Deputy Grand Master and Present Grand Lecturer of the Grand Lodge of Masonics of Missouri. A four course dinner was served the following guests: E. J. Cooper of Mexico, Mo., Mr. and Mrs. H. G. Dwiggins, Mrs. Ealvin, Miss Emma Brown, J. Goines and A. Wilson. The afternoon was pleasantly spent in lively, entertaining conversation with the guest of honor. May many such joyful days be found in the coming years of all who were present. Mrs, H, G. Dwiggins and Miss Emma Brown are in receipt of invitations to attend the wedding of their father, Rev. G. W. Brown, which occurred Dec. 28. at the home of the bride, Miss Laura E. Kinney, Quincy, Ill. Rev. Brown is well known in the state and takes to himself for a companion a young woman who is destined to make him a noble helpmate as she is known in her home city for her faithfulness and zeal in Christian work. WICHITA. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 30, 1904. Miss Julia Starnes and Mr. M. Robinson were united in marraige Sunday afternoon, Dec. 25, at the home of bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. Starnes. Mrs. Margaret Watson has returned from a trip to St. Joe. James Johnson formerly of this city, but now of St Louis, will visit with friends a few days. Mr. and Mrs. W. N. Miller visited in Kingman the past week. The Odd Fellows will hold a public installation at their hall, Jan. 5. Mr. and Mrs. E. Grayson of Hutchinson are visiting in the city. Mesdames L. Andersou, Thos. Glover, W. Clark, Miss Sallie Rawles and Chas. Price attended the Interstate Literary at Topeka this week. The Household of Ruth elected the following officers Wednesday of last week at their meeting: Most Noble Gov., Mrs. J. L. Harper Right Noble Gov., Mrs. M. Carr Worthy Recorder, Mrs Anderson Noble Governor, Miss Covington Worthy Treas., Mrs. M. Bartlett Past Noble Gov., Mrs. L. Collins Worthy Prelate, J, L. Harper FORT RILEY NOTES. The topic of discussion the past week was the unfortunate occurrence of Friday night of last week, when one of the members of Troop 8 shot and seriously wounded Private Phillips of the Ninth regiment, and slightly wounded one of the members of Troop 6. On account of the shooting, the privileges of the whole garrison have practically been taken away from them. All passes were taken up, and for a time no one was allowed away from post. The daily paper of Junction City, the Union, has greatly exaggerated the matter, and has by innuendo said that a race war was imminent. The statement was wholly unwarranted as well as untrue. In fact, this publication, whenever it has occasion to print news along these lines, does not publish things as they are, which certainly does not subserve to the best interests of the people as a whole. Taking everything into consideration, there is no question that the Ninth cavalry and all companies, white and black, at this post are getting along as well as if there were only one race, and there is less of the prejudiced racial feeling apparent at Fort Riley than at many of the points throughout this section of the country. If a tailor by the name of Hawkins, hailing from Topeka, was to be caught in these parts it is likely that the Union would, have something to write, as the boys of the Ninth whom he fleeced right and left. would make mince meat of him. Corporal Jenkins of Troop A is at present acting drum major of the Ninth cavalry band. Corporal O. J. Brooks and Sergeant Clinton of Troop A and Sergeant Major Lafferty have takena competitive examination for promotion to quartermaster sergeant. The boyswere having a friendly race for place. Sergeant Thrower, Troop B, Miller, Troop D. and Carter, Troop A, are candidates for promotion, which is to be made on merit and past record. Each has done gallant service and it will be hard to determine the leader. Sergeant Hopkins of Troop A, whose sister from Kansas City visited him recently, entertained his mother during the holidays. --- Sergeant Warfield of Troop B will be discharged soon, and will make his home in Denver. The band gives a grand concert every Wednesday evening in the gymnasium. The dinner given on Christmas day by the Ninth cavalry troops stationed here is said to have been a spread which excelled all previous efforts. On account of the order not allowing the soldiers to go to town, many of the cuts which were expected to be in the Christmas number of THE PLAINDEALER could not appear. LAWRENCE. KAN. The home of Miss Beatrice Hoyt presented quite a gayscene last Thursday evening when the "jolly five" girls entertained a few of their gentleman friends. Whist and dancing were the chief amusements and were indulged in until a late hour. Dainty refreshments were served after which the guests departed declaring the young Misses to be most charming hostesses. Those present were the Misses Anna Copeland, Ora Carter, Winifred Morton, Cecile Carter, Beatrice Hoyt, Messrs Wendell Green, Woody Jacobs, Beecher Norton, John Price and Theo. Copeland. Miss Winifred Morton will leave for her home in Atchison Friday to spend the holidays. Miss Pansy Phelps, who has been studying violin music "on the hill" will leave for her home in St. Joseph, Mo. Although "the students" have been given to understand that they were not the "whole show" the young folks are beginning to wonder how they will stand the dryness for two weeks. Mrs. Nancy Harvey continues to improve from her recent sickness. Word has been received in Lawrence of the marriage of Miss Mattie Jeans, of this city, to Mr. C. Neal, of Denver, Col. Miss Jeans has been a Lawrence girl all her life and the best wishes of the community are extended to the happy pair. There were quite a few out of town people in Lawrence for the Dixon-Price wedding. Miss Nellie Barnett, of Tonganoxie, and Mr. Geo W. Walker, of St. Joseph, Mo., were married last week. They will make their home in St. Joseph. The "Sierra Leon" club met with Mrs. Adam Carter Tuesday. The ladies are planning a big fair for after the holidays. The ladies will meet with Mrs. Fred Gleed next Tuesday. Mrs. Rev. King, of Wichita, visited in the city as the guest of Mrs. Gibson. A MESSAGE TO THE YOUNG MEN. "A new start for the new year." Address by Rev. G. D. Olden Sunday, Jan'y 1, at 3 p. m. at the rooms of the Y. M. C. A., 501 Kansas avenue. A general report will be made by the different committees of the work for the year 1904. The young men are especially invited, and urged to be present to hear the message and the report of the good work and God's blessing for the past year. Special music, both instrumental and vocal, will be furnished. Wm. E. JACKSON, President. MR. LEWIS DICTATAS POLICY Editor PLAINDEALER: If the perpetration of such deeds does not arouse the African blood, I am sorry for this race. The white people have said that the Negro men men were the only ones who were guilty of rape, but I will tell them they are far mistaken. For white men have proven themselves to be beneath the notice of a dog. There is not in the pages of history an instance of a black man perpetrating a crime upon a woman, white or black, to equal to that of the two low-down red-necks of Portland, Ark.; and not a word was said through the white press, which is a fact to show that white people are retrograding instead of advancing morally and intellectually. A pation of people who will sit still and allow a man of their race to take a pistol and force a poor, innocent, virtuous Negro girl on her knees to submit to an outrage, is unworthy to be at the head of a pigpen, much less the government. And a state wherein such a deed is committed should no longer exist as a state of the Union, but should be placed under martial law. But, I rather feel that the white man of the South Is almost at the end of his road. He began his hellish outrages on the Negro first by employing the influence of some ignorant Negro men and women to assist them in stealing the virtue of Negro girls, and from that, they went into a wholesale debauchery by livin illegal co-habitation with Negro women, and nothing was said about it. Then they decided to lynch, burn and massacre Negro men, and nothing was said about that, and after living with Negro women as long as they please, then they take the Negro women, butcher them and burn them at the stake, and nothing is done about that, still it does not satisfy their hellish curiosities. The only advice I have to give the Negro men and women is that wherever they go and on every occasion, they carry a 44-caliber Colt's revolver, and the first hellish, tallow-faced fiend that lifts his head up in an indignant way, shoot both eyes into one and stamp his face beyond recognition, and it would not take long to put an end to outrages on colored people. Because the only redress I can see for the Negro in the South is to wash the whole continent of southern America in Anglo Saxon blood. And unless the Federal authorities take some steps to protect the Negroes and that pretty soon, there will be one of the bloodiest wars that ever the world has witnessed, because the whole Negro population is tired of oppression. They have moved from land to land and yet they have found neither peace nor contentment. Yours for the race, Muskogee, Ihd. Ter. William R. Lewis of Duravant, Kansas, who rece tly was appointed a substitute railway postal clerk and assig ed to duty in the St. Joseph district, reported for duty o Chief Clerk Naylor. Lewis is a Negro and enjoys the distinction of being th. first colored man ever appointed to the railway mail service in this district. Several years ago a Negro named Branch ran into St. Joseph on one of the lines, but he was not under the jurisdiction of this office. In the seventh division, of which the St. ER. NUMBER 52.

Joseph office forms a part, there are 1150 railway postal clerks. Of this number only about a dozen are Negroes, so that for every colored man employed in the railway postal service in the division there are one hundred white men. Lewis is said to have passed a creditable examination and he is a good penman. He is twenty-seven years old and is a native of Jefferson county, Kansas. He was born on a farm and has spent all of his life in agricultural pursuits. The education he possesses he obtaind in the common schools of Kansas and by studying at night. WINFIELD, KAS. Sunday, the 18th of December, at 3 o'clock, the ministers of the city and their congregations met with the pastor, W. H. Garnett, and his people at the Second Baptist church building located on South Main street to participate in a special meeting and witness the burning of the mortgage that had so long hung over the property of the church. Mrs. Bell Wilson of Arkansas City spoke on the organization, its eighteen years struggles and sorrows and paid a beautiful tribute to the memory of the depasted ones. Rev. A. J. Finch of the first Baptist Church preached the sermon. He preached the old fashioned gospel denouncing sin without apology. The address of Rev. S W. Stophlett of the Presbyterian Church on "Paying what we owe", was very helpful along the line of Christian giving. The subject of "Free will offering," was very forcibly and logically ventilated by Rev. Albert Nichols of the Church church. In course of his remarks he said there was no color line with Jesus Christ and there should be none with his followers. The remarks of Rev. H. D. Harris of A. M. E. Church on the subject of "The Best Plan", was fraught with wit and enthusiasm. Rev. W. L. Hinshaw of the U. B. Church spoke very plain and acceptibly on the subject of "The Perfect Model." A deep spirituality pervaded the whole service, at the close of which the pastor presented the mortgage to S. Johnson and D. McNeal trustees who burned it in front of the alter before the vast multitude. The church was organized in the spring of 1886 and a beautiful edifice erected in the fall of the same year. Twelve members constituted the organization and the first trustees were John Wilson, Jno. Taylor, Henry Shavis, McKeMy, and John Nichols. Of the chartered members there were only three present at the special service of burning and only one of them retain membership with the church at the church at the present time. The pastor is to be congratulated for his patience, earnestness and persistency in urging the church to free itself from debt. MRS. S. JOHNSON. Topeka Plaindealer.

FRIDAY, DEC. 23, 1904. TO THE PATRONS OF THE PLAINDEALER: As we have announced in previous issues, we again call your attention to the fact that our paper will be $1.50 per year on and after January, 1905. On account of our growing correspondence and large amount of news that has to be left out each week, thus bringing upon our heads the ire of our many readers, we have thus decided to enlarge our paper to a six column eight page paper. This will give us a greater space for correspondence and advertising as well. We shall continue to advocate the rights of the American people and especially those of our own race who are being ostracized on account of their condition in this country and the treatment inflicted upon them by a minority of white people who do not give us an equal show to earn a livelihood for ourselves and families. We admit that there is quite a number of shiftless Negroes as there are in other races who do not care to earn a livelihood or reputation for themselves or any one; upon this class we spare no pains in using the rod frequently. But we do want the industrious and intelligent, hard-working, honest colored people of this country to be given an equal showing with other races for existence. Our people do not pay their subscriptions as they should. We think this paper deserves support and we want our subscribers to pay and encourage others to take the paper. We are doing what we can in your interest and in the interest of your children who come after you, and in return think you should foster this institution. We shall advocate good schools such as manual training schools, which we think proper as we think the hand should be be trained as well as the head. We want our people to accumulate homes, rent and buy farms, cultivate these farms, for the farm is our people's salvation. We must also get into the busines and commercial world and compete for whatever is in it for us; thereby opening up employment for our boys and girls in order not to depend upon the white men for employment, for it is a rare exception where they employ our children instead of their own. Remember that we do all kinds of job work, such as letterheads, note-heads, cards, busi- ness and calling cards, bills, announcements, etc., whenever you have anything in this line of work, patronize a race paper and give us the work. All work guaranteed the best and at reasonable prices. With good wishes for your success in the year 1905, we are Very sincerely yours, THE PLAINDEALEK. Wm.

We had the pleasure of visiting the Providence association last week where they were giving away presents to the children whose parents are poor and to, those who have no one to care for them. Mr. and Mrs. Van Horn, who are in charge of the institution, are doing much to bring about the desired improvement in this line of work. Mrs. Van Horn is energetic and thoroughly understands human nature and is teaching people that they should learn now, and then earn what is necessary for existence. The association is located at Fourth and Jackson, and we would like to see them take up the matter of looking after the children of other races, thereby putting discrimination to an end. Then it is that they live the Christ life. that is, doing good to all men. Daughter Florence Horn was born August 2, 1858 in Harrisonville, Mo. and died Nov. 18, 1904. She left a husband and family of six children, four girls and two boys, who have lost a kind and loving mother whose place can never be filled in this life. She was a good and useful member of Golden Sheaf Tabernacle, No. 91, and was beloved by all who knew her. It is, therefore, becoming and fitting that our Tabernacle pass resolutions of respect and honor to her memory, and that the same be placed upon the records of our society. Whereas, an all-wise and far-seeing Providence has seen fit to remove from our chain one link that will join with us no more in this tabernacle. Therefore, be it Resolved, That by the death of Dt. Florence Horn our Tabernacle mourns the loss of a dear and esteemed daughter, who, when called upon at any time, discharged her duties and fulfilled her obligation willingly and faithfully. Resolved, That as a committee of Golden Sheaf Tabernacle, we express our profound sorrow and tender to the bereaved family our sincere condolence. And in closing we repeat Peaceful be thy slumber; For the golden chain that binds us, Death has entered and deprived us LULU ROUNDIREE, IDA GILES, ANNA BROWN. Prof. Chas.
