THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. VOLUME VII A Glance at the Men Presented by the Democrats to Govern Topeka. The Democrat have nomina ed for mayor. H. W. Blair, an attorney of the law firm of Loomis & Blair Mr Loomis his partner, is one of the leading and staunch Republicans of the state and a strong contestant for judge of the United States district court. Mr. Blair and he have been associated together for years, and enjoy the distinction of being one of the strongest law firms in the country. Although they differ politically, those who know them, have come to the conclusion that they cannot see any difference in their views when it comes to justice to all alike. Mr. Blair was born in Pennsylvania and came to Kansas with his parents in 172, settling in Jackson county. He was reared on a farm and devoted most of his early life to tilling the soil. He attended the county schools, and later, entered K. U at Lawrence, where he graduated from the law department. Mr. Blair located in Topeka in J. H. R. W. BLAIR. 1887 where he began the practice of law and has since resided. He is a dignified, honest, upright gentleman and would make Topeka an ideal mayor. He has been identified with various large business concerns, and it will be no hard matter for him to successfully manage the business affairs of Topeka as he does his own. So well pleased are the people over the nomination made by both parties, that the prospects for a lively race are very bright. Mr. Blair is very popular among all classes—especially the business men. No one doubts his ability to make a progressive mayor and you cannot find any one who can say one word derogatory to his character and standing anywhere he is known. He has made many friends by his deportment before the people of this city. The time is fast approaching when party lines will be obliterated in city politics, and the individual who has to shoulder the burden of taxation will look to his best interests and support the candidate who can best serve their interest. Keep your eye on W. Blair, as he has a tender spot around everybody's heart. Frank B. Simms is a candidate for councilman of the First ward, having been nominated by the Democrats and indorsed by the people. He is one of the substantial business men of the North side and owns the Gem Laundry at 524-526 North Kansas avenue, which employs sixteen women and five men, which means the feeding of over one hundred mouths. Mr. Simms is one of the active business men of that side of the river and of Topeka and has conducted this laundry for several years. He lost every dollar he had invested during the flood— TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 24, 1905 the business and building being entirely destroyed, but by constant and steady labor, he is now regaining the trade he had before the flood. Mr. Simms was born in Alton, Ill., is a printer by trade and at one time held "cases" on the State Journal. He is a gentleman of courage, integrity and ability and is always willing to do what he can to assist the laboring men who are supporting him almost to a man. The council is in need of men like Mr. Simms who are heavy tax-payers and conducting a business which employs a large force of people. The endorsement that he is receiving from all classes is in itself a recommendation for the office. The Democrats and people of the Second ward have nominated for reelection to to the office of councilman of that ward Mr. Joseph Griley. Mr. Griley has demonstrated himself to be one of the best councilmen that ever represented that ward, and is also one of the most active members of the twelve that constitute the city council of Top ka. He is an able member of several important committees; the ways and means, the public buildings committee and several others, and he has been on more or less all the committees of the council since he has been a member. He has always forwarded the interests of the laboring men, and has done much to dignify labor and cause liberal wages to be paid laboring men. He has made many improvements in the ward, among them a street sweeper and spring east of the tracks. The money for many of these improvements has been paid out of the general improvement fund and not from the individual property holders. It was he who caused the removal of the old city dump, which was such a nuisance to the people in that portion of the ward. Together with other members he showed the advisability of the city owning its crematory, which will relieve the people. He is against grafters, and keeps a watchful eye on that class who try to live off the public treasury, and votes out the money of the taxpayers only when it was necessary. He is chairman of the committee on natural gas, and is one of the most enthusiastic men on the committee, and he prides himself on the fact that Topeka will have natural and cheaper gas before long. He has always championed the industries of Topeka and bitterly opposed the letting of contracts for bridges to an outside firm whose bid was $1400 greater than the bid of a Topeka firm. Mr. Griley is a gentleman of ability and integrity and can be relied upon to do his duty toward perpetuating the good name and credit of Topeka. HON. JOHN F. SWITZER. John F. Switzer, attorney and counsellor-at law, was compelled by a large number of voters, irrespective of party to become a candidate for city attorney, at the April election subject to the will of the people. So disappointed were the people over the defeat of Charles Spencer, who is an efficient and capable lawyer, and who was familiar with the legal complications in which the city is involved, that it is useless to take chances at this critical moment with an inexperienced attorney. Therefore, Mr. Switzer, who is an accomplished lawyer, was persuaded to run for that office. He was born in Ohio, graduated from the law department of the University of Boston, one of the best in the country. He was admitted to the bar at Columbus, Ohio. He has resided in Topeka for a number of years and is familiar with her legal troubles; he can take hold where Mr. Spencer left off without the least draw back to the city and without any material losses. He has served on the bench of the Shawnee county court as judge pro tem on several occasions, and his decisions and rulings have been accepted as good law. The people want him, the taxpayers need him, and almost every body says his election is assured. He is associated with Bennett R Wheeler in the law business, with an office in the Columbian building. He is a gentleman of dignity and ability, courteous and polite, and well versed in the law. AT JEFFERSON BARRACKS WITH THE NINTH CAVALRY! The Third Squadron Has Done Great Service—They Drove Victoria, the Indian Warrior Into Mexico and Covered Themselves With Glory at Piney Ride—Troop "C" is the Pride of the Squadron. We are glad of our visit to the third squadron of the Ninth Cavalry, stationed at Jefferson Barracks. We arrived there Sunday morning and found the boys reading and engaged in other sports and amusements for their own edification. The Barracks are located on a bluff near the Mississippi river and are fairly equipped with modern conveniences and appliances for the comfort of the soldiers. There is something like 260 members of the Ninth in this squadron with a lot of non-commissioned officers who seem to be competent and efficient in every respect. They have no band, and the guard mount is held by the sound of the trumpet. There is about forty acres of parade ground which is beautifully situated. A new building is under course of erection in which will be located a canteen. But few of the boys who did service in the Indian war and Cuba U. SERGT. M. A. JERKINS; Who has 1400 Votes in Our Grand Price Contest, are there now, new 'recruits having been added to the regiment. The older men are retiring and going into business for themselves. They have made a splendid record and saved money. A good many of the boys at this barrack are taking up considerable time in idle sports that takes all of their money and from which they receive no returns. The time is now at hand when our young men should devote their time to studying for their future interests. There is a splendid chance in the army for those who wish to rise and become experienced and good substantial men. Thirteen dollars a month, rations, clothing, bedding and free schools furnished, a young man can easily accumulate a bank account as well as a fair education which would enable him to go out into the world and become a substantial business man, but as we have stated, too many of them seek idle sports. If they only paid attention to foot ball, base ball and other outdoor exercises, it would be a great advantage to them. The army offers all sorts of inducements to young men and what is needed most in the colored regiments is men of education and refinement—men who will work from the raw ranks of private to colonel. If they will take up this resolution, it will not be many years before the colored regiments will be filled up with colored officers, but men cannot expect to rise from the ranks by simply knowing how to drill. They must be able to figure out all that belongs to the army from a raw recruit to that of handling and surveying the way for a division. Sergeant M. A. Jerkins, Troop C, was born in Lake City, Fla. March 26, 1876. He was reared on a farm and attended the public schools of Columbia county until 1887, when he entered Cooper Institute at Jacksonville, Fla., from which institution he graduated with honors. He then taught school in that state until 1900, when he enlisted in Troop D. Ninth Cavalry at St. Angustine, and was stationed at Fort Hauachuaca, Ariz., and in September of the same year his Troop was sent to San Francisco, where they were mobilized and sent to the Philippine Islands. They were stationed at Nevava Caceras, where he was made a corporal, but was detached in July for special duty in the army department, which he performed until September '02, when he was reviewed to return to the states. While there he made application for second lieutenant in the Philippine squadron, but his regiment was withdrawn. An action was taken in the matter, and he with his regiment was returned and stationed at Monterey Cali., until February 1903, when he was honorably discharged, character being excellent. He then spent a few months at his home in Florida and reenlisted at Jacksonville, May 5, 1903 and was assigned to Troop C stationed at Presidio, Cali., coming from here to Jefferson Barracks. The second day after his re-enlistment, he was made corporal, and in December 1904, was promoted to sergeant, which office he is now filling with credit and honor. Sergeant Jerkins is dignified, courteous and a polite soldier and gentleman—refined and cultured and an active member and worker in the Baptist church. He organized the Baptist Union among the young people which is a success. He is an Odd Fellow, a member of 4245 Hope of Life at McClenney, Fla. He owns considerable property at Lake City, Fla., his home and where his parents reside, and is now receiving rentals which pay him well on the capital invested. He has just closed a large deal for some valuable property at Jacksonville and contemplates building several more houses for tenants. He is a single man and from what we can learn he will not always occupy this position, and it may be before the autumn leaves fall that the happy event will take place. Sergeant Jerkins is one of the popular soldiers of the squadron and is in THE PLAINDEALER contest for the fine gold watch to be given to the most popular non-commissioned officer in the regiment. He is a man who makes friends with most any one he meets, and is devoting much of his time to the study of telegraphy. When in Florida he took much interest in looking after the perpetrators of crimes against the colored people, and made a special call upon the governor of Florida at the time a colored minister was taken from his pulpit and lynched by several white brutes. The governor thanked him and said that he was the first man to call his attention to this outrage and that he would do all in his power to bring the culpirs to justice and succeeded in causing several arrests, but owing to being tried before prejudiced jurors, they were discharged notwithstanding the fact that there was no doubt in the minds of the people as to their guilt. Sergeant Jerkins now has fourteen hundred votes. We met Corporal M. T. Deane, Troop K, whose home is in Washington, D. C. He is a high school graduate of that city and also of Howard University. He enlisted in June'03 and had only been in the regiment nine months when he was promoted to corporal, and so efficient was he that he was appointed to a position in the post-exchange which position he is now filling with honor and credit. He is a mosel young man, dignified and is doing all he can to succeed. We predict a briget future for him in the army. Thomas S. Young, sergeant troop "I" was born in Murray county, Tennessee, March 12, 1874; and attended the graded schools of that state. He was reared on a farm where he worked until he enlisted in the service at Nashville in October 1892. He was assigned to Troop "K" of the Tenth cavalry stationed at Ft. Custer, Mont. His regiment was ordered to Chickamauga in the war between the States and Spain and from there to Lakeland, Florida, where he was detached for recruiting service. From May until August he assisted in recruiting at Chattanooga, Tennessee. Through him several young men were induced to enter the service, thereby seeing a better side of life than they were accustomed to seeing in the South. He joined his troop and went from there to Monatuck Park, New York. From there he was ordered to Huntsville, Alabama, then to Fort Brown, Texas, where he remained from February to May, '99. From there he was stationed in Cuba for one year, and in August, 1900, was discharged, and came to the United States to visit his relatives at Nashville. After three months he reenlisted, and was assigned to Troop "E" of the Tenth cavalry stationed at Fort Brown, Texas, where he remained from January to March, when he was ordered to the Philippines. He returned with his squadron to San Francisco and was then stationed at Fort D. A. Russell, at which place he was discharged. He returned to Nashville and vicinity for a visit and re enlisted in January, 1904 and was assigned to Troop "I" stationed at Presidio, California. From there his squadron was ordered to Jefferson Barracks. He holds several "sheepskins" of commission and discharge which are marked "excellent" and show that he is a highly competent and efficient soldier. He was promoted to sergeant of Troop "I" December 7, 1904. He has three honorable discharges which are marked excellent and are the highest that can be given a discharged soldier. Young is a sharpshooter, is among the best there is in the service, and for marksmanship he is hard to excel. He holds letters of high recommendation of ability and integrity from Lieut. Bowdish of Troop "T" of the Tenth Cavalry whose remarks are noted in the margin of the discharge regretting to issue him a discharge. He possesses other letters from distinguished officers who have made special note of his ability. He is a Past Master of the Western Star lodge of Cheyenne, Wyoming, and also an Odd Fellow. He is not idling away his time or money in the army, but is rising intellectually and financially. It is rumored that he will soon lead one of St. Louis' best young ladies to the altar. Corporal N. Watkins of Troop "M" was born in Charlotte, Va. Being left alone, he was adopted by an old white lady, with whom he lived until he was twelve years old. He picked up a smattering of books through hearing her grandchildren repeat their alphabet. He began to repeat after them, and from what he learned from them he decided that he could become accustomed to learning himself; so he purchased a "blus-back" speller and from that time began to spell and count from box-cars and bill-boards and the leaves of his book. He learned his numbers by hearing a young man recite the mul- NUMBER 12. Re-elect Mayor Anthony and the Present Officials and Have a Good City, The voters of Leavenworth will be called upon next April to decide who shall control the city for the next two years. Mayor D. R. Anthony, Jr., who will complete his first term in April has been drafted by the people to become a candidate for the second term. Mr. Anthony did not desire to be a candidate for this office as his time is needed to carry on the extensive business of his own and that left by his father. So well has he conducted the office of mayor and brought business to the city of Leavenworth, as well as improving all the departments, paving the streets and improving the street force, the police force, fire department, and other valuable interests connected with the city government, that the people would not for an instant think of letting him leave them in this their hour of success. He has awakened them from their Rip Van Winkle sleep, during which they were robbed, and the city pillaged by democratic crookedness and inability to [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit] cope with the times. Several miles of street have been paved during the past two years, and over $30,000 of the bonded indebtedness of the city reduced. The debts were piling up so high under democratic misrule that the people were beginning to stoop and groan under the burden of taxation Mr. Anthony is mayor of all the people and not of a party when it comes to administering the affairs of the city government of Leavenworth. He has been opposed by the Democrat, Pete Everhardy. It would not do to elect him to be ruler over the enterprising citizens of Leavenworth, and he does not believe that he can come within a hundred miles of defeating the distinguished son and mayor of Leavenworth, D. R. Anthony, but he merely wants to keep up the organization of the misruling Democratic party, which is an everlasting disgrace to Leavenworth city affairs. It is nothing unusual now to hear visitors to Leavenworth, after being absent several years, remark that they can hardly realize the city is the same upon which, years ago they had passed judgment as damned and forgotten under Democratic rule. At the expiration of Mr. Anthony's second term, which is not doubted by any one, we can rest assured that the reduction of the bonded indebtedness of the city will continue. The people have tried him and he has been found to measure up to their requirements. They will not fail on election day to keep him in the front ranks, that he may continue to build up the reputation of Leavem worth so that business and investment seekers will not be ashamed to be there. Though Col. D. R. Anthony is dead, his spirit goes marching on. Columbia, S. C., Mar. 18.—A very interesting and important decision was rendered by the Supreme Court this morning. It is decided that for a newspaper to publish that a white man is a Negro is defamatory to the white man, and the newspaper making the publication is liable to suit for damages. The case was that of an appeal on the part of Augustus M. Flood of Charleston, a libel suit having been instituted by him against the News and Courier and the Evening Post of Charleston for damages in the sum of $10,000 because he was referred to as being a Negro. The Supreme Court says: The only question presented by this appeal is, is it libelous per se to publish a white man as a Negro? To call a white man a Negro affects the social status of any white man so referred to." Authorities are quoted on this pointand the court continues: "When we stop to think of the racial distinction subsisting between the white man and the black man, it must be apparent that to impute the condition of a Negro to a white man would affect his, the white man's social status, and in case any one published a white man to be a Negro, it would not only be galling to his pride, but would tend to interfere seriously with the social relation of the white man with his fellow white men; and to protect the white man from such publication it is necessary to bring such a charge to an issue quickly. We therefore hold that these three amendments to the federal constitution have not destroyed the law of this state, which makes the publication of a white man as a Negro anything but libel. "The judgment of this court is that the judgment of the circuit court be reversed when it sustained the demurrer in this case and the action is remanded to the circuit court for such other proceedings as may be in accordance with the law." The Treatment of the Chronic Loafer! The individual who absolutely won't exert himself should starve. There is no prescription to equal that of starvation for laziness. The nation should refuse food to the loafer who won't work. We should restore and put into force the act of Henry VII., by which any donor to an able-bodied pauper was fined ten times the amount given. There are thousands who persistently refuse to work, and they are not, as possibly you may suppose, men who have served long terms of imprisonment. Ex-criminals are our most hopeful cases. This is because they have had the benefit of good governors, chaplains and warders. The reason that so many prefer loafing and cadging (begging) to working is that cadging pays. Anybody can pocket from five to ten shillings a day at it. One imposter, when he was arrested some months ago, was proved to have been netting 33 pounds a year. He was a representative type. No doubt there are several others who are making 300 pounds a year by cadging. I could earn ten shillings a day at it myself. I should arm myself with a letter. The letter would purport to be written to my mother. It would contain words beseeching her to cheer up and not to be downhearted at the sickness of my father, then I should cadge around for a penny stamp. This is an extremely profitable dodge. How much money can be amassed by this disreputable trick one is able to prove. Some time ago a man was discharged from one of the Church Army's country homes for idling. A few hours later the captain of the labor establishment happened to be out walking when he espied his late guest. The latter was importuning passersby and was carrying a letter Inquiries elicited the fact that he was begging ior penny stamps, explaining to everybody he accosted that his wife was dying in the north of England, and that without a stamp he would be unable to communicate with her. The rogue boasted to the labor captain that in one hour he had collected ten shillings' worth of penny stamps. Another chronic who was offered employment by the Church Army inquired what the pay would be, and was informed that he should have four shillings a day. Remarkable to relate, this was not joyful news to him. He did not throw up his greasy cap and perform a war dance. He paused, and then answered: "I'm sorry, sir, but I've a wife and family, and it wouldn't be fair to them for me to take four bob a day. I can make ten bog a day on the road!" The experienced loafer can always be sure of a living. He dresses himself up to suit his role—ragged clothes, an old hat and leaky boots—and in this guise preys upon the public. You may be sure that he has a decent wardrobe at home. Indeed, on occasions, he appears attired as a swell. The only thing to do with this class of individual is to starve him into working. Work is a regeneration, and the loafer must be forcibly reformed. Unless the strongest measures are resorted to, you can't turn him into a useful citizen. I recollect a rabcal who protested vigorously that he couldn't secure employment. He was a thorough humbug, and ultimately he confessed to me point blank that his one prayer was that he should never have to work.—Rev Wilson Carlile, Head of the Church Army of England. NOTES FROM THE T. I. I. The musical department held their March recital last Thursday night. The department is making commendable progress. Don't forget the Boys' Declamation contest at Shiloh Baptist church Friday, March 31st. Tickets are on sale at Lee's, Bigbee's, Chiles', Lytle's, and Guy's. There will be a rally at the East Hill Baptist church Sunday morning for the benefit of our institution. Some of our young folks will sing at this service. We can give several young men an opportunity to work during the summer and thus earn sufficient to pay their expenses through school next year. There is no excuse for any young man to be without a good trade. This may be your last opportunity to work your way through school. Delicious refreshments are being prepared by the ladies of Shiloh Baptist church for the Boys' Declaration contest. How many tickets have you sold for the Boys' Declamation Contest? You should see that your Sunday School gets the banner for selling the most tickets. Principal William R. Carter spent the latter part of this week in Manhattan visiting the State Agricultural college in the interest of the institution. Mr. M. L. Walker, agent for THE PLAINDEALER at Muskogee, Indian Territory, can always be found at the general merchandise establishment of J. W. Adams, 22 W. Okmulgee. A The Republicans of the Fifth ward have re-nominated Mr. J. A. Shimer for councilman. Mr. Shimer has done much to uphold the dignity and credit of the city of Topeka as well as his ward. He has been a credit to both and has been one of the best dads the city ever had. He is a member of some of the most important committees of the council. He is chairman of the fire committee. Since he has been in the council he has caused more to be done than all his predecessors in his ward. Through him the bridges on Van Buren, Kansas Avenue, Chandler and the one in the Sixth ward have been ordered constructed. The people have been clamoring for these bridges for the past twenty years. He also succeeded in getting a bill through for the construction of a sewer that is badly needed in that portion of the city. For years the water that flowed from Topeka Avenue, the fair grounds and the Douthitt tract flowed through the center of Walnut Grove. He succeeded in having the west side of Topeka Avenue graded so that the water now flows south to the creek. He succeeded in getting the street car company to pave a double track from Tenth to Seventeenth street. Mr. Shimer is one of Topeka's self-made men, having earned his way through hardships and struggles to the position he now attains in life. He conducts a large feed, coal and woad yard at 1815 Kansas Avenue. There is no doubt of his election as the Democrats as well as Republicans appreciate what he has done and were instrumental in asking him to become a candidate, promising their support. He does not expect a higher gift from the people at this time but as they have drafted him for another term, he has decided to run. There is talk of running him to succeed Harrison for commissioner.

The Record-Stockman of Denver is authority for the statement that about 5,000 sheep are being fattened at Greeley, Colo., by the Greeley Sugar company. They are divided up in penns of 700 to 800 sheep each, each pen being in charge of a feeder whose business it is to watch them closely. Oct. 11, at the time they were put on feed, they averaged seventy-four pounds each, and during the first three weeks made a gain of two and a half pounds per head per week. The ration is ten pounds of pulp to one-half pound of alfalfa hay per day per head. To this ration it is expected to add a small ration of sugar beet molasses. Experiments last year indicated that the molasses tended to make a firmer flesh, and that sheep fed with it as part of the ration shrunk less in shipping. The sugar company expects to feed during the season approximately 15,000 head of sheep and 500 to 600 head of cattle. The results last year were a profit of 90 cents per head for the pulp feed sheep. Experiments were conducted last year in feeding pulp and alfalfa and corn, with the result that the pulp and alfalfa fed sheep gained from 15 to 25 per cent more than those which received the corn in addition.—Wallace's Farmer. Care of the Bull. In the care of the bull gentleness is the first consideration. He learns that no one is going to abuse him and he does not look for trouble. Firstly, a bull should be raised right, then there is no trouble. It takes many months to tame a badly raised bull and our advice is to let such a bull alone. Have a small stable or pen by the barn or other convenient place where the bull may be kept. An exercising lot is essential to his health. Brush him off daily and feed him a little grain. Feed only clean hay, and salt should always be before him. Water him regularly. Good service from him is only had by giving him good care. When a bull is kept up and a record is made of each cow bred, all the calves may be saved that bad weather would kill if they came at such times. Have a sort of system about things in the care of cows. Clover Hay for Hoos. So far this season there has been abundant pasture for hogs over most of our territory and will continue to be until the ground freezes up this fall. Where farmers have a supply of good clover hay, either of the first or second cutting, they should make very free use of it, particularly with brood sows and shoats. It will give them a cheap supply of protein, which this class of hogs particularly needs. A good supply of it in the fattening pen will not be amiss. It will furnish variety, especially where the hogs are fed wholly on corn, and will at the same time tend to balance the ration. We are so accustomed to regarding hay as fit only for cattle and horses that we forget that the hog will eat a certain quantity of it with great relish and to great advantage. If you do not believe that hogs will eat good clover hay, just give them a chance. Catching Sheep by the Wool. We are almost out of patience when we see men who have kept sheep for years catch them by seizing hold of their wool. It is cruel, shamefully cruel, and a man with any heart in him would never do it a second time if he could see the red, blood-settled looking flesh always found under such a spot if the poor sheep is killed shortly after the abuse. It is almost as easy to catch sheep by the neck or leg, and if it were not it would be no excuse, tearing, as it frequently does, the skin from the flesh just beneath it. The sheep is so delicately made and the skin is made so tender by the close protecting fleece that it is a much more serious thing to pull the wool of a sheep than the hair on one's head. An Automatic Lice Killer. An ingenious method of applying kerosene or other liquid lice destroyer to hogs has been discovered by an Indiana hog raiser. A good solid oak post a foot or a foot and a half in height is placed in position in the hog lot. One hole is bored in the top to the depth of about eight inches and two at right angles from the sides at the bottom of the vertical hole. Soft pine pins are driven into the side holes. The upright hole is filled with kerosene, and stoppered. Next a burlap strip eight or ten inches wide is wrapped around the post over the side plugs. This after a time becomes soaked with kerosene and the pigs will rub against it at the place where it will do the most good. Sheep a Farm Necessity. To stock a farm with sheep does not require a large amount of money, and the risk is small, as with proper care very few, if any, will die. Sheep on the farm will make the land more productive and profitable, with less labor and expenditure, than other domestic animal. During the grazing season their droppings are more evenly distributed over the fields than those of any other animals, and by keeping their yards and sheds thoroughly well littered, a large quantity of the best fertilizing material can be obtained. Again, sheep are excellent weed exterminators and they eat with relish many varieties of woods other animals will not touch. Every farmer should own a flock of sheep. = e Oe aa 2 a a a Ta i Sl | eA aS En ca a aa ee a ‘ .¢ — & ~“e 7 . > . * —s 5 we . 2 OUR FRIENDS IN those stopping in Kansas Cityand| (Fire publisher tn pean Resto ) NOTICE. witte us coneeraing this great enter- OTHER CITIES!|“i#hing to be near the Union De- REPORT OF THE CONDITION , |Tothe stockholders of the Indian Laat bi eles want skeptics or pot and want a first class meal, will softhe— | Territory Land Coal and Develop-| 4oubting anna ee oa Ft SS ment company: sta =: “The Plaindealer Manager Circulates 4° Well to ail at the Hotel Willard. |FIRST NATIONAL BANK, “Gre ie) GE” |" We havo the best coal in the soun-| J- Hume Childers, Sec.y.

HORTICULTURE GEE So Hey Sp bet satel i ill On the subsoil depends a great deal. ‘The tree that is planted over an im- pervious subsoil may’ do well if it is on a sidehill that will permit the water to run off through the soll that les above the subsoil. But on other Kinds of land the subsoil, if imper- vious, will cause the trees to grow slowly and bear frult lightly. Bad drainage and impervious subsoils largely go together. We have seen land that was friable on top and down @ little way was composed of a layer of stones and clay so closely inter- maixed that it almost seemed that a great fire had melted them and they had run together. If such subgoll can- not be improved it fs better to put the frait trees in some other place. ‘The surest way to improve the gub- foll {s by drainage. That lowers the water table in the soil tn winter and lets the frost in to pulverize the Bound. Where the land is undrained the water table protects all the soll below It from the action of frost. We have known of clay soils through which the drains were dug to a depth of four feet. For a year or two it did not seem to make much difference with the general character of the soil, for the frost had not had time to work. But after the frost for two or three winters had got in to the soll the whole character of the ground seemed to be changed. For the growing of apple trees es- Peclally it 18 best to select laad where the subsoil fs already In right condl- tion, so that the roots may go down Several feet if necessary. This makes it easy for the tree to send its roots deeply and to get down Into a moist layer of soll. Trees in such locations stand drouth well and show green leay when all things else seem to be ‘ing brown with drouth. Leaving the Tree to Natura. Every once fn awhile we find a man that belleves in leaving fruit trees alone, permitting nature to do as she wishes to with them. He generally says that the sprouts on trees, espe- cially the water sprouts should not he cut off. We think that if this man had to raise grapes he would get very few of them. Nature does not have to be fed and clothed, and therefore fs not con- cerned with increasing the fruitfulness of trees and plants beyond the point where they will propagate themselves. But man has greater needs and forces the tree and plants to stop producing im one direction and go to producing in another. The great fruitfulness of trees cared for by man {s merely due to the diversion of growth forces from one direction to another. A tree that {s planted and cared for by man does not take in more nourishment than does another tree that ts left to the direction of nature, But the nourish- ment that is taken in is made to go into the formation of things man can eat rather than into the formation of ‘wood and leaves, which he cannot eat, The Creator has placed in the hands of man the power of directing the processes of nature to a consider- able extent. Man prunes a tree only to make it expend its energies in the fruit buds and so gives him more fruit. We should not leave things to nature, for in the main nature cares nothing for us. There {s no moral reason why man should follow the leadings of nature. His own intelligence is not @ thing to be lightly set aside, esnedhaanse Malis tients In removing the tops before stor- ing be careful not to cut too closely. Decay might result, Put the beets, parsnips, carrots, ete., in @ cool cellar in boxes with sand and moist earth between them. The above way is especially sulted for cabbage and turnips. Apples, too, can be kept well by the method. Celery in process of blanching is legs likely to declay {f the leaves are exposed to the air and sunlight in tmalld weather. Loss frequently occurs from too close covering, A mulch of manure on the raspber- ty patch is good for next seagon’s crop, but it should not be so heavy near the plants as to furnish a har bor for field mice, beneath which they can dig down and eat the roots. ‘This is 8 good time to sow some let- tuce seed in the cold frame and start « few bunches of parsley in the frame or the kitchen window. It will not be much trouble to arrange for a good supply of fresh vegetables in the win- ter, Bees Useful to Farmers. ‘The great value and usefulness of the common honey bee on the farm has been tersely put by Prof. W. P. Hedrick of the agricultural college of Michigan. He says: The fruit grower who complains of bees is an ungrate- ful wretch. At best fair exchange is no robbery, but the bees take nothing. A crop of honey removes no fertility from the soll, no substance nor flavor from the fruit, nor even the fragrance from the flower. Multitudes of bees may store their hives with “choicaly culled sweets” from your orchard, and you may take It and feast yourself on the apple-bloszom flavored honey, or you may sell it for dollars and cents, yet neither your trees nor your farm is the loser by one penny’s worth, If the bees take a little toll from the fruit, what of it? Should they notibe repaid for officiating at the nuptials of your fruit blossoms. But do they take toll? .°. 734% GET THE BEST! ; USE ONLY Taylor’s — Perfection Flour .

There are mollions in the Indian Territory for the progressive Negro, and not a penny for the bigoted fool and idle loafer.

Iu view of recent utterances more particularly from Germany as to the near approuch of the “‘yellow peril,” it is well to give the subject thought. Occidentals _felicitate themselves on blue blood, brains and strength to keep the heathen in check, and if there isa need subju- gatehim. But in the light of facts fast being made apparent, to boast is one thing, and to do is another. “The water of the river Euphrates isdrying up and the way of the kings of the East is being pre- pared.” The genius which is now devel- oping at lightning speed with the Orientals may well cause alarm—a panic to Kuropean nations; and the United States will come in fora taste. The followers of Moham- med almost made conquest of eivil- ized Europe, a conquest whith will be completed by the Eastern kings. Thestorm center is now in the East, andthe mind in the storm will sweep all before it. When history is made the man is always there to fill the place as it is opened, like our own country. Washington, Lincoln. A few weak, struggling colonies toa great nation, The very recent history of Japan is much more marvelous, ae it is to deal with the world’s history instead of one corner of the earth. Fifty ycarsago Japan, a poor, de fenseless, unenlightened people; euch washer reputation and stand. ing among the nations. The West ern nations were abreast of the times in implements of war and peace, in position to send a regi- ment ortwo, or a battleship and aubjugate a whole country of poor ly armed, undisciplined heathen or people of obsolete ideas anc methods. Witness Commodor Perry in command of the Unite< States fleet dropping anchor of Kanagawa in 1854. The very shov of force on the part of the Unite States created a panic in Japan ant she at once complied with demands But what a marvelous change sino that day! Two Japanese statesmen, Ito an Inonye, were moved to make aquic visittoEngland. They were ama: ed at modern civilization and met ods, and grieved to learn that Japa was so far in the rear. After thei return to Japan the seed of progres was planted in the mind of the: prince, Senjo Saneyoshi, who bi came a warm advocate of moder inethods im material progress. Tl hole Japanese nation became in bued with the ‘same ides. The young men were sent to the schoo of the United States, Englan France, Germany and other cou tries. They were as so many spi sent tospy out and capture for the vountry everything new and go that they could find elsewhere. Schoole- and universities we established in Japan, the best structors secured from mode countries, Foreign naval and mi tary teachers were given emplo ment. Foreign professors of ed cation in the arts and sciences fe _ thatin Japan was a permanent op field for craft and letters. T! trath is as quickly &s Japan could qualify her own young “men the foreigners were out of employment, As the Japanese mastered our thought and craft they dispensed withyour services. We gave them allwe have to give, all they have good they kept to themselves. From a reputed heathen people, half civilized, Japan bas in forty years actually developed into a na- tion of all modern material progress, yet losing no part of her former character, and in heart touch with no Western nation. There is an inherent native genius which molds Japanese all one in mind, method, way; the whole forming a body which for tenacity and inteneity of purposeis not approached in any degree by any Western nation, Their ruler is the son of heaven, their country is their god. The very unity and intensity of purpose in them have overcome the Russians on sea and land. Their cousins, the Chinese, ag they accept modern education, not from Weetern na- tions, but from the Japanese, will join forees and become invincible. Four hundred million Chinamen. ‘The East Indians, three hundred nilion, largely of the same religion and in the same mind. The Mo hammedans are always waitingan opportunity and are generally » in modern warfare. The mixed millions along the borders who have no reason to love the domineering white man. Hate whetted to fury, theend to which the yellow fanatics willgo has no limit. With modern methods and weapons in the hands of these hordes can Europe stand ‘before them? The Orientals are getting a taste of what they can do. Brag and bluster will not quell this disorder. There are not enough men- in Enrope and the United States to keep the Eastern countries under Western dominion. The conflict is on; before it is finished the present battles about Mukden will beas a skirmish. There will bearmies of millions, instead of hundreds of thousands. ‘The outlook is one of woe. Give no heed to the sweet speech of dip- lomats, but study the mind that is moving the East. W.E. B. TAKE NOTICE! To those who are indebted to THE PLAINDEALER and also those who are subscribers: We have devoted most of our time this winter in trying to pre- vent the passage of obnoxios laws in the legislature of Kansas. Weare now in need of money and must have some. We are devoting all our time for the interest and benefit of those frowned upon by the more pros- perous race around us on account of our condition. Through the efforts of this paper and Several friends we have had stricken from the calendar the bil em- powering cities of the third class to separate white and colored children 1n the high schools, also a bill empowering school boards in all cities to separate them and also a bill to prohibit inter-mar- riage of races. We did all we could to prevent the passage and signing of the obnoxious Kansas City high school bill and the re- duction of six janitors out of eighteen which will take effect June 30th, 1905, 1t seems tous jthat this legisdature, consisting of reformers, has made a special Jeffortto thwart the will and |impede the progress of the color- Jed people. There never was a legislature in Kansas that ever '|attempted to enact such infam- ')ous black laws in all of her his- ‘|tozy as a State, notwithstanding ‘|committees appointed by the ‘| various colored organizations in s|the state called upon the goven- ,jorand Speaker Stubbs, chair- -|man of the state central com- s|mittee and asked them to dc ;| what was in their power to pre- j{vent such legislation.

Now my dear readers you are indebt- edto this paper and you will confer a favor upon us if you will remit at once. Give us your hiberalsupport and we can do much to carry on the good work. IT LOOKS THAT WAY. “I noticed in the dispatches this morning, said General Passenger Agent W. J. Black, of the Sants Fe, ‘that Foster Allen, local man. ager of the Knapp Oil company. attempts to explain why Knapy sold out to the Standard Oil com pavy.” Mr. Black, aside from being gen, eral passenger agent of the Sant: Fe, isinterested in the Kansas oil fields as an oil producer. He iss stockholder in a company having three producing wells already drill ed. Contrary to popular sentiment Mr. Black’ entertains other views in regard to the solution of the oil problems. “Forlack of a better excuse,” says Mr, Black, ‘‘Mr. Allen seeks to put the blame for the alliance of the Knapp Oil company with the Standard Oilcompany, on the rail- roads. It willbe noticed that Mr. Knapp was not on hand to give tes- timony in regard to this matter. Wasit because he wis familiar with the,terms of ssle and that he might be compelled to testify t6 such facta? oe “Speahing as a private citizen and with only such knowledge as anouteider can obtain from the daily press, it oecura to me that the Knapp company turned its back on ite friends and associates in the oil district and sold its plant and out- putto the Standard Oil company for the very good reason that it was profitable todo s¢. Is it unfair to sgsume that other large producers will do likewise when it isto thei interest to do so? «In my opinion the trouble with the oil fields is that a large number of people with hands in their pock- ets and a few postage stamps went totheoil fields and dreamed that they would be rich as soon as they struck oil on their lease. They did nottake into consideration the ex. pense of operating or the expense of future development, hence are now looking about for someone to blame for their bad investment. Men of means and experience in such matters are not disturbed and no doubt realize there is a great future for the oil fields of Kansas.” Henry Hutchinson, ROOMS—BOARD—LUNCH.

In order to prove to the public that Glossine is the greatest and most meritorious of all hair tonics we will give free to every reader of this paper (not a sample) but a full size box. If Gloesine was not the best hair tonic inallthe whole wide world this offer would bankrupt us. Gloasine (Queen of all hair tonics) is the most wonderful remedy for the human hair ever discovered and has astounded the whole world by ‘its miraculous and mysterious power inlengthening, straightening and beautifying the human hair. It is the result of long years] of careful study and the earnest researches of Miss Helen Martin, a beautiful and attractive womau who is acknow- ledged the most skillful and famous beauty doctor of the day. She isa wonderful and most magnificent speciman of womanly grace and beauty, and although now 58 years of age she scarcely looks:to be 30. When asked by what mediums she had been able to so successfully pre- serve the attractiveness and beauty of youth, Misa Martin said, ‘‘why it is very simple to me and every woman be she white or colored, young or old, or as ugly assin itself, can become pretty, shapely and graceful if she will only do as Tadvise. Asa child I was never considered pretty, in fact I was not even thought to be good looking and for this very reason ever since Iwasa girl of 16 I have madea study of such agencies and materials which tend to beautify and adorn the human person. In the glorious vegetable world which nature bas 60 bounteously bestowed upon us there are hundreds of innocent mediume which after my long life of study and investigation I have been able to successfully blend and formulate into various preparations which enhance and preserve the life and beauty of the hairand skin. [ owe my own good looks and youth- ful appearance to these prepara- tions which are the result of my life long work. As to Glossine 1 have never known it to fail to cause the hair to grow long, straight, soft and luxurious. It matters not how hareh and kinky it may be and I carenot if it be short, broken, splitting at the ends or falling out, Glossine will positively make it long, soft, straight and pliant. It will give to the hair luster, length, life and beauty and no head of hair can be go harsh and refractory but that Glossine will make it so pliant and wavy that it can be dressed with ease in any prevailing style desired. It will restore gray hair to its former cotor, maxe the hair grow outon all bald spots and on the temples where the hair is usually thin and unsightly.”? Glossine is highly, sweetly and most delicately perfumed, and its color and subsist- eney is very attractive to all. See- ing our great success and with the desire to trade upon our reputation gained by long years of honest deal- ing, numerous unscrupulous firms aretrying to fool the people into buying spurious and harmful com- pounds for the hair and skin. That causes the hair to fall, thus causing baldnesgand ruin, mar and defaec the delicate texture of the human akin. In their wicked desire to gain money these people do not hesitate to sell the people many preparations which are dangerous to life iteelf. In order to discountenance and con: demn such dishonest methods. Miss Martin has decided to give a full size package of Glosaine to any reader of the paper, male or female, who willsend their name and ad. dress. Do not delay. Write to- day. A postal card willdo. We will algo send our catalog which describes in detail our hair tonics, face bleaches and other toilet requi: sites. Address Miss Heren Mantis, Continental Chemical Go.

Titus, Commissioner of Election for the city of Topeks for the nex ‘two years and we hope for several yeara to come. The captain is an old war-horse Republican and has fought many battles for its success. He is aveteran of the Civil War and distinguished bimself with bravery and fidelity on the field of battle. Everybody is glad that he was appointed to this position of which he was robbed some years ago, but he who waits, all good things will be added unto. We know the office will be in safe hands and everybody will be satisfactory. We are glad to announce to ou1 many readersand friends of Mr. R. L. Walksr, 2 young man who is em ‘ployed at the weather bureau in thie city that he was married to Miss Julia Manse, one of Topeka’s best and most highly respected colored young ladies, formerly of South Carolina. The marriage took place Feb. sth in this city at the home of the relatives of the bride and the news has just reached our office. We are sorry that we are so late in heralding this, but the matter was kept within the walls and hearts of the contracting parties and their im- mediate relatives. The Plaindealer wishes them a happy voyage through life and we predict the same for them as this couple is highly re- spected and among Kansas’ most progressive young people. — c A proposition from Oscar Overr asking fora twenty year franchie from the city for the placing of metal trash cans along the princi pal streets of the city was referred bes the committee on streets and walks. Overr offers to pay the city in return a yearly revenve of $5 per can on those placed on Kansas Avenue from Fourth to Ninth streets, $3 pec year for cans placed south of Ninth street $2 50 on the cross streets east and west of Kan- sas avenue and $3 north of Fourth streeton Kansas avenue. A similar franchise of Fred Barnes and Harry McKeever, but not stating any amount of revenue which has been pending for some time before the council, was sidetracked. The mo- tion to act upon it was deferred in. definitely, Both of these fran. chises are a good thing for the man placing in the trash cans. The cans are about 2 feet by 3 feet and advertising is sold upon the side: ofthe can, Thies is a profitabl source of revenue and the partie asking for franchises can afford tc place them in free and pay the cit a revenue in addition.

The burden of paying off the mortgage and keeping up other expenses has fallen on avery few faithful mem- bers of this organization and the responsibility was so great that with a lack of friends it was found im- possible to keep the home open. | ‘These few members have directed their energies toward paying off the mortgage of $200 on the home.

He now reads and writes as well as any sixth grade scholar, and is well versed in the history of the world. He is a fine military tactician, and first enlisted in the service of the government in November, 1893, at Pittsburg, Pa. He was assigned to Troop "D," of the Ninth cavalry in May, '95; from there they marched to Fort McKenzie, where he was discharged. He re-enlisted in the service at Fort Robinson, Nebr. and was re assigned to the same troop. After serving three years he was assigned to Troop "B" and from this troop to a regiment of Troop "C" of the Tenth cavalry. He was discharged at Huntsville, Ala., in 1898. He re-enlisted in Richmond, Va. in '99 and was assigned to Troop "M" of the Ninth cavalry, where he served three years and was again discharged in the Philippines, Jan'y 17, 1902. He came to the States and re-enlisted March, 1904 at Sioux City, Iowa, and was assigned to Troop "M" at Presidio, Cal. He served under General Miles during the war with the Crow and Sioux Indians in Montana and the Dakotas. He was in the Pine Ridge district when the thermometer registered forty-eight below zero and the snow was from three to six feet deep. This was when Sitting Bull was captured, and where so many of our colored soldiers displayed so much bravery. He was stationed at Lakeland, Fla. during the Spanish-American war. He was ordered to Monatuck Park, New York and then to the Philippines. He was commissioned sergeant in the Philippines, and also served on special duty at Lagaspie, Luzon. On several occasions he distinguished himself as a marksman and sharpshooter. He has devoted much of his time to reading law and is well versed in Blackstone. He enjoys the respect and confidence of his comrades and is a gentleman of excellent character and ability. He is preparing to join some secret lodges, among them, the Masons. He is thinking seriously of locating in Kansas when he retires from the army, especially if they do not pass any more Jim Crow laws in the state. At one time he owned some valuable property in Guthrie, Oklahoma, which he disposed of to good advantage. He is a single young man and will make any good woman an excellent husband. A WORD OF WARNING I thought I would write something for the PLAINDEALER which I thought would be of interest to you. In the first place I would like to call your attention to education. Education was not handed down to man to defraud his fellow men and to learn to scheme and beat his way through the world without working. One of the greatest commands that God ever gave to man was of that when he drove man from him to go and till the ground from whence he came. But our Negro race of people are becoming more worthless every day of their lives. They are learning every low down thing to get a living that they will not have to work for, and there isn't one out of a hundred, that was born since the rebellion, that has thoroughly graduated. They learn to write their names and then quit school to hold up someone for a living by fraud. I don't wonder at hearing of their being hung, shot, and burned at the stake, because they are degrading themselves and getting as low as they can. Our own race of people are intermarrying and taking their wives and peddling them to other men as probably you are aware. The PLAINDEALER would be of no value unless you can stir their minds up to the colored people. I would like to call your attention to the exslave who had no education but were taught to work. Today when you look them up you find the largest quantity of them having farms of their own and earning their living as they should. On the other hand you notice the Negro that was born since and during the war are found tramping through the country beating their way on trains and doing every mean and low down deed they can to keep from work. Their game is to mock the ex-slave in their speech, while at the same time they are only able to speak but a few words correctly in the English language. The old ex-slave is as far ahead of them in being ingenius and doing business in every way as the white race is ahead of them and they are becoming of less value and by their deeds and acts they are always trying to force themselves in places where they are not wanted and have not the knowledge to stand back and wait until they are invited up. The ex-slaves have more honor bestowed on them without education but they have mother wit which excels their education. I had four men write to me wanting to come in with me in the chicken and hog raising, but after writing them the partiolars which meant work and business I heard no more from them. You ought to write the Negroes to come west and get homes and farms. Think of it, I am the only man that owns a claim in Ford Co. I also own town property and the rest of the county owned by white people. Three or four of the exslaves own town property and none of the free Negroes that were born since the war own any property and hardly own the clothes on their backs. That is the fault of the free Negro. The greatest mistake is that their fathers and mothers try to teach them to get a living without working. LILLARD SAUNDERS. Dodge City, Kansas. SOUTH ST. LOUIS. The entertainment that was given at Corinthian Baptist church last Friday night was a grand affair and was attended by a large number of the Ninth U. S. cavalry soldiers from Jefferson Barracks. The house was filled, notwitstanding the inclementy of the weather. The exercises began at 8:30 o'clock. The initial number was a beautiful solo by Miss L. Coleman, Miss Rosa L. Harris, accompanist; next was a humorous recitation by Miss Georgia Houston, which caused much merriment; the recitation by Miss Idella Harris was all that humor and logic could make it. The recitations by Misses A. Shoulders and Lilian Morrell speak well for their future as elocutionists. The solo by Mr. Hudson was a treat to all who heard it. Refreshments were served abundantly by the amiable committee. Wichita. Mrs. Thos. Glover is ill at her home, 704 N. Market street. Rev. Rivers, who has so ably assisted Rev. King in his revival services, will return Tuesday to his home in Kansas City. The B. T. W. club was very pleasantly entertained last Wednesday afternoon by Mrs. Henry Massey. Mrs. C. A.

WANTED-Five quarryman at once. Permanent work at one dollar and twenty-five ($1.25) per cord. Apply at Industrial Institute east of the city. the Republican party of Leavenworth have nominated a young man who is a jurist and a gentleman of ability for judge of the city court of Leavenworth. This young man is the Hon. Ben Endress, who is now serving his first term as judge of the police court. So well satisfied are the people with the great improvement made in this department by this young disciple of Blackstone in the police court that they have almost come to the conclusion, as a unit, to re elect him for another term. He is a native of that county and is known by every man, woman and child there. He has conducted the office with dignity and honor. He has infused new life and has raised the dignity of thab court. One of the most famous fines imposed by him upon any one was the fine upon wife beaters. It had become a universal custom among some Leavenworth men when they were drunk, to beat their wives unmercifully if they did not just please them. The judge put a stop to this by imposing a fine of $200, and since that time wife beaters have become scarce in Leavenworth. Women, as a unit, will support this young man, as they can always feel safe in having a friend in him, and so long as he holds this position, these cruel wife-beaters and monsters of the grog shops will have drafting in the city of Leavenworth. Hia administration has been business-like, and every cent has been turned into the city treasury where it belonged; the same cannot be said of all the courts of recent years. He is opposed by Miles Moore, who has been in office almost since Leavenworth has been a city. From the record he has made in that office it is dangerous to place him in a judicial position again. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. Among the many distinguished visitors from the legislature during the last week of the session were Col. R. C. Kerens, Ex-Lieut. Gov. Ball, Senator Elliott, and Rev. Fr. Cahn, of New Madrid. Excellent addresses were made by several of these gentlemen to the faculty and students. Each expressed great interest in the welfare of the school, the race it represents, and a desire to do everything possible to increase the prosperity of the school and of the Negro. Among other distinguished visitors from out of town we note Prof. R. T. Coles, principal of Garrison school, Kansas City, who was heartily welcomed as the guest of President Allen. In his address he sized the necessity of the Negro becoming a producer of wealth, and the value of the industrial feature in education in promoting this idea. The speaker highly applauded the condition of the school. Plans are already being discussed by the regents relative to the erection of the new dormitory for girls and several members of the board recently visited the institution with a view to putting the plans into effect os soon as possible as they desire that the building shall be ready for use by September next. Citizens of Missouri and adjoining states are gradually recognizing the fact that right in their midst exists a great school for Negroes. This recognition is evidenced in many ways and may be illustrated by the following extract from the March number of the American Methodist Magazine, an illustrated periodical published in St. Louis: "Undee the head of faculty and instructors we find in a catalog of the institution a list of twenty names. It has this year an enrollment of more than 500 students, male and female, who are fitting themselves for useful citizenship along mental and moral lines, and in mechanical skill as well, instruction being given in irion and wood working, mechanical drawing, etc. The institution is well equipped for the work in hand, and we saw many creditable specimens of workmanship executed by the pupils. Professor Grant S. Murray, A. B., Instructor in physical sciences, courteously took me through the various departments, giving much information in regard to the school and its workings. He and his wife are superior specimens of their race, educated and cultured, and well equipped for the work to which they are devoting their lives." OSWEGO, KAS. Rev. A. Gamble, pastor of the A. M. E. Church assisted by Rev. C. G. Tutt, of this city, has just closed a ten days series of meetings which was a success. Rev. Geo. T. Wooten, pastor of 2nd M. E. church has returned from Col. Springs where he has been attending conference. He reports a nice time. He has returned also to serve the good people of this city for another year. The infant son of Mr. and Mrs. D. Brown is improving. Rev. A. Gamble made a trip to Parsons Tuesday to visit friends. FORT SCOTT. Through the preaching of Rev. W. A. Bowren A. B., evangelist, late of Michigan, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit we are glad to announce to the readers of the star colored journal of the west, if not of the world, that Shiloh Baptist church, of Ft. Scott, Kas., is coming to the front. The Rev. Bowren is an able, convincing preacher and the results of his sermons are immediately seen by those who attend his meetings. The city is awakened as it has not been in twelve years and the outpouring of God's Spirit is witnessed by every true believer. Sinners well matured in age and likewise in sin have sought the Lord and found Him. We have added to the church in the last two weeks more than sixteen souls and there are many who are yet enquiring the way to salvation. Pray for us that God may help us to show them the way. We had baptising Sunday and had a crowded house at both morning and evening services. All denominations came to our help against the giant of sin and fought manfully for the Lord. The members of Shiloh do not like to part with Rev. Bowren and are paying him to stay, believing that under God with him as pastor the cause of Christ can be successfully advanced in this part of the Master's vineyard. We believe he is the man for the church and as an expression of this belief the members had a special church meeting Saturday evening and unanimously extended him a call to the pastorate of Shiloh Baptist church. We trust he will see this call as being of divine appointment and decide to accept it. Without any special effort $39.35 was raised for him Sunday. THE DEACONS.
