Mayor Gilbert, of Kansas City, Has Dealt Squarely With the Colored People and he Should Receive Their Unanimous Support! Historical Society State House VOLUME VII. Mayor Gilbert, of Kansas City AT LINCOLN INSTITUTE! Missouri's Great School is Making Commendable Progress. We were glad to have the pleasure of stopping over at Jefferson City, and witnessing a few of the exciting scenes at the nominating of the United States senator. From what we could glean from observation of the members of both houses, they are a little ancient as well as stubborn in their method of doing business. There are about a half dozen colored employees who have been rewarded for party service during the session of the legislature. While a few of these men are drawing their pay as employees they never neglect an opportunity, in matters of vital importance concerning the people of their race, to buttonhole the members in legislation that is good for all. We visited a few of the newly elected republican office holders who are infusing new life into the way of doing business at the capitol. The Hon. William W. Wilder, auditor of state, whose home is at St. Genevieve, and who was the first Republican to serve in that capacity for thirty years, is the most courteous and affable gentleman one would wish to meet. He led his ticket in the last election, showing that he was not only popular with the Republicans, but with the Democrats as well. He is a gentleman who can make friends quickly and he knows how to hold them afterwards. We expect to see him in the high council of the state of Missouri before many more suns roll around. We were surprised to see such an old building for a state house, as this one is, for the great state of Missouri. We had hoped to interview the governor on some matters we had planned to talk over with him, but there being such a rush of business it was impossible, in the few hours we remained, to do so. The greatest institution we had the pleasure of visiting in the state of Missouri is Lincoln Institute located in Jefferson City, in charge and under control of President Benjamin Franklin Allen, A. M., Ph.D, a gentleman, and a scholar, and a man of great ability, who has the reputation [Name] PRESIDENT B. F. ALLEN. of being among the best educators in this country today. To prove this, one has only to visit that city and stroll out to that institution which is sending out boys and girls skilled in different trades and arts to earn a livelihood. We arrived in the city early in the morning, and thinking to steal a VOLUME VII. march on them, made an early visit to the institution to ascertain how early they began their daily avocations. We found everybody up and doing—the heads of the different departments at their posts of duty directing the students. We partook of a delicious breakfast, prepared by the young ladies of the culinary departme t. We never ate a finer breakfast prepared by any one. The institution makes a specialty of our young girls that good cooking and housekeeping are essential to a development of the hand and brain, and fit them for one of the most important walks of life. There are four large buildings on the grounds: the main building for college and literary instruction; the machinery hall where various trades, such as wagon and buggy making, furniture making, wheel making, blacksmithing, and other arts of mechanism and industrial training are taught. There is the girls' dormitory, where millinery, dress-making, laundering and cooking are taught, and some of the best instructors in the country are to be found there. The work done in this department is marvelous, and to see how readily the young ladies take to it is certainly encouraging. They seem to go through the exercises in this department without the least restraint. They all seem to be fully aware that these trades will go a long way towards making them independent when they enter into competition with others for a livelihood. The boys' dormitory is a fine, large structure recently constructed, modern; and in first class condition. The sanitary arrangement around the institute is first class, it being situated upon a hill surrounded by trees and foliage. It is connected with the water works, heated by steam and lighted by electricity. The president's residence is a nice, two-story brick building, with about twelve rooms, modern, nicely furnished and properly kept. We had the pleasure of meeting all the students in the chapel at the regular morning exercises at ten o'clock. The songs were beautiful and the music as good as one would wish to hear. It was quite a treat to sit and listen to the ring of five hundred melodious voices, accompanied by a wonderful two-piece orchestra. The Missourians can congratulate themselves on their good fortune in securing such a competent and efficient man of business as President Allen, as well as the efficient corps of instructors. Mrs. Josepine Silone-Yates, A. [Image of a man with a mustache and a suit, facing slightly to the right]. M., who teaches English, History and Drawing. is indeed onethe of greatest women in this country. She has devoted her soul and mind to the uplifting and development of her race, and she has taken special pains with her sex. She never misses an opportunity to take advantage of [CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT.] TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 31, 1905 KANSAS CITY, KAS., NEGROES SHOULD RE-ELECT GILBERT! Don't Be Deceived by Watterman and Bradley—Stand by a Man Who Has Served all the People Alike Irrespective of Creed Color or Previous Conditions. We are pleased to announce to our readers that Kansas City, Kas., has for the first time in several years, a man for mayor who is honestly and fearlessly conducting the affairs of that city to the entire satisfaction of a large majority of the tax-payers. For years the city has been controlled by a set of politicians and corruptionists who used a portion of the revenue to perpetuate themselves in office. Since T. B. Gilbert has been mayor he has increased the revenue and has put thousands of dollars into the city treasury without increasing the taxes. Heretofore, this money found its way into a bottomless hole O. MAYOR GILBERT. in the pockets of a gang that has fleeced the city for years. When Mr. Gilbert took hold of the reigns of the city government, there was no money on hand to pay the employes. Men who struggled hard to earn a living for their families, had to accept script in payment for their labor, and discount it to money sharks twenty-five and thirty-five per cent. In a short time after Mr. Gilbert went into office, they were receiving the cash for their labor. This alone is enough to warrant him the vote of every laboring man in the city. He has kept pace with the growth of the city—in fact he has caused her to grow and prosper under his honest and strict business administration. Mayor Gilbert is a poor man, and to prove that he is honest in his dealing for the best interest of the city, he has placed a warranty deed in eskrow with C. L. Brokaw, cashier of the Commercial Bank, and if any one can prove even an intimation that he ever attempted to accept a bribe or wink at corruption, this deed will be given to the party or parties. Now let those who are sneakingly hinting such charges, take this deed from Cashier Brokaw. Remember, this is the only piece of property owned by Mr. Gilbert that is clear of incumbrance and valued at $1,000. We talked to several substantial business men and they are perfectly satisfied with the great business administration of the Mayor. Now, to our colored voters: Do not be deceived and vote against your interest. Your interest should be on the side of right, and if this man has given you an honest, fair and economical administration—give the race a fair proportion of the appointive positions on the city, you should act in this matter as business white men, who pay taxes just as you do. Don't be led off on this outrageous high school proposition. Mayor Gilbert has nothing to do with this, and you have got to live in that city and earn a living and pay your taxes, and the man who gives you a fair chance deserves your united-support. We have talked to several of the white business men who say thau they are against voting bonds upon the tax-payers until some of the millions now piled up against the city! Act with good common horse sense--come to your sober judgment, be consistant! The delegation that waited on Gov. Hoch said that the majority of the names on that petition were Democrats and lived on the Missouri side. Now, for some of these same fellows to support the the Democrats is more than we can understand. All of the Democrats were in favor of the bill no Republicans save a few hundred so-called "policy" Republicans, but none of the Roosevelt type favored such an outrageous thing! Remain true to good, honest and fair men in public office. We would say vote for Rose if Mayor Gilbert had failed to do the square thing by everybody, irrespective of party, creed, color or previous condition. Mr. Gilbert should have a second term, which we would say of Rose if he was mayor and give such a good, clean administration as has Mayor Gilbert. "Well done thou faithful servant, serve us another term," should be the motto of every fair-minded voter in Kansas City. At one time we thought it the proper thing to elect Rose, but after a thorough investigation of Mayor Gilbert's record, we find that an injustice is being done him by those who want to run the office. The gang is out—sore and hungry. They have feasted upon the revenue that now finds its way into the city treasury. We are sorry to learn that Lawyer I. F. Bradley would allow his good name to be bartered by a gang under whose high-handed methods of conductsng business, the city has groaned for years. Mr. Bradley has posed as a Republican for years, and he can show no cause for trying to deceive his friends. He has served his county in an official capacity, and why now take another shoot under the name of "Independent?" If he is free to act, why dont he vote for Rose and support him openly, instead of the under-handed method he has adopted? Now, so far as M. A. Watterman is concerned, he never was a fixture in any party any length of time and when he fails to land a good job, he flops to the other, and having tried all the parties, he and Bradley have organized one of their own. Watterman is a candidate for mayor and Bradley for police judge. They haven't the slightest idea of being elected, and Bradley is simply being "worked" to fool the colored people while Watterman is out to fool whoever he can. Mr. Gilbert is as fine a gentleman one cares to meet. He is courteous and polite to everybody. The following facts and figures are from the records: A STATEMENT FROM MR. GILBERT. I promised a careful and business like administration. Unlimited street and sewer work had been pushed to the enormous sums of $1,122,500,00 in the last preceding two years; the city's bonds were being issued at six per cent., turned over to contractors, and by them hawked about the streets at low prices, thereby injuring the city's credit both at home and abroad; in fact, the city was greatly embarrassed and there was no market for its bonds at all. I have retarded street improvement fully 90 per cent. of what it was during the administration preceding me; and I have improved only those streets where the property along the street is sufficient in value to pay for the same. I have refused to deliver bonds to contractors and have sold 5 per cent bonds at not less than par, and some at premium, for the first time in the last eight years of the city's history, and the bond buyers are now anxious to take the city's securities. The outstanding floating indebtedness in the shape of script at the beginning of my administration was $157,801.89 total in the general improvement fund; on January 1, 1905 the outstanding certificates against the general improvement fund was $35 and against the general fund $16,000, same being the last month's pay-rell, practically a cash basis. Bonds issued during Mr. Craddock's term.....$1.010,342.00 Contracts unpaid at close of the same..... 112,463.00 Scrip outstanding at be- ginning of my term... 157,801.89 Total..... $ 294,479.23 This shows an indebtedness of less than $300,000 contracted during my term as against an indebtedness of over one and one-fourth millions contracted during the two years preceding. I invite, yes, I challenge comparison of the city's standing today with its condition at any time in the past. MEXICO, MO. A gloom fell on our community Monday morning when a telegram was received from Mrs. Martha Scott announcing the death of Dr. A. D. Griffin her son-in-law which occurred at Langston, Okla. Mrs. Scott was called to the bedside of Dr. Griffin last Thursday. She reached Langston, Friday. It will be remembered by the readers of the PLAINDEALER that Dr. Griffin and Miss Mary Scott were married last June in Guthrie, Okla., and took up their abode in Langston where the Dr. had a lucrative practice of his profession and was doing well. Dr. Griffin was an excellent young man and this entire community joins in an expression of the deepest sympathy to his bereaved wife and relatives. Interment was made Wednesday at Macon his former home. Peace to his ashes. Miss Ruth Scott who has for the past 8 months been attending school at Langston University returned home Thursday. L. F. Scott, E. J. Cooper and Mrs. Susan Jameson attended the funeral of Dr. Griffin. Mrs. Mayme Minor Young spent Sunday at home with her mother. NUMBER 13. animous Support! ATCHISON WILL RE-ELECT ORR! ATCHISON WILL RE-ELECT ORR! The voters of Atchison will be called upon to elect a mayor next Tuesday, April 4th. Both parties, for a sham, have nominated candidates for mayor, while the people have drafted James L. Orr to become a candidate for re-election. So well has he conducted affairs, giving the city a thorough business administration, that the head of every business firm in Atchison, except two, signed a petition asking him to become a candidate for the second term. Mr. Orr is a partner in the law firm of Waggener, Orr and Waggener, the Hon. B. P. Waggener and his son constituting the other end of the firm, who are always doing something for Atchison and her citizens and pushing her to the front. It is this firm that has developed the famous coal mines which employ many men and will employ hundreds more, which means millions of dollars to be spent with the merchants. Let every voter join in pushing Atchison to the front by electing Mr. Orr for another two years, which will mean prosperity and good times for all, both the laborer and business man. Some of the different politicians are constrained to hold on to party affiliation, yet when it comes to voting everyone votes his choice, save and except when it comes to a colored man regularly nominated, when all join hands to defeat him. The Democrats make no pretentions to support Negro candidates for the reason that the colored people have always affiliated with the party opposed to them and are therefore not entitled to any support from the Democrats. There is a large class of white men in Atchison county who are posing as Republicans, but are such for office and revenue only; and these Republicans will nominate a colored man, not to be elected, but to be used as a cat's-paw to pull the remainder of the ticket through to success. This was the case at last fall's election when Dr. Brown who was the Republican candidate for county coroner, was butchered by his party. But the colored people have organized a genuine Republican league and will be as independent in its choice of candidates as these white Republicans have been, and will vote as the occasion demands. The board of county commissioners has the appointing of a county physician, which appointment should have been made last January, yet the supporters of Candidate Walker are now promising this place to the colored people, provided they support Walker. Now, the very idea of trying to fool the colored people again as was done last fall by Republicans, put a low estimate on the judgment of the colored voters, and such an idea is outrageoas. If these white Republicans desired to right a wrong of last fall why haven't they appointed Dr. Brown long ago to show the colored voters that they mean well? Now, however, they are holding the job with a string to it—"Vote for Walker and we will appoint your man." The colored people say "you have fooled us once too often, Mr. Hyprcrite, and we are going to vote for a business administration." Our advice to the colored people of Atchison is to vote for Mr. Orr. We know what he will do. He has colored men employed in all the departments. We do not know what the other fellow will do, but we have a great suspicion, judging from actions in the past. FOR POLICE JUDGE. Hon. J. W. Waggener, brother of Hon. B. P. Waggener, will make a good police judge and the people of Atchison will have no regrets by his filling this office. He is identified with the city's business interests and employs upward of fifty men in the busy season in his quarries. He is fair and honest and will be impartial in dealing with all who come before him. --- --- WICHITA. Mrs Geo. Stone has returned to the city after a few weeks visit with her parents at San Antonio, Texas. The social given last Thursday night by the ladies of the Tabernacle lodge was quite a success. The B. T. W. club was entertained last Wednesday afternoon by Mrs. B. Morris. An enjoyable time was had by all. Mr. King is drilling the Wichita girls for a grand hoop drill to be given some time soon. Miss Hattie Buford, who has been ill for so long, was buried last Thursday afternoon. Miss Pauline Joonston left suddenly for Texas to attend the bedside of her brother. Grand preparations are being made for the Easter exercises April 23rd. Frank Chiles has accepted a position in Joplin Missouri. Andrew Hall, of Ft. Scott, Kas., has come to this city to make his future home. Misses Marie and Cora Stevenson are in the city visiting relatives and friends. FT. SCOTT POLITICS. The popular undertaker, C. W. Goodlander, who is so well known as a staunch friend of the common people regardless of color or previous condition of servitude in the nominee on the citizens ticket for mayor and is making a strenuous campaign for that office. He needs no introduction to the people of Ft. Scoot having been born and reared in this city. He was born in 1864 where the Goodlander hotel now stands. He is one of Ft. Scott's progressive citizens and conducts the leading undertaking establishment and hack line in the city, which was established in 1863 by his father. Mr. Goodlander, after attending the public schools of Ft. Scott, attended the Methodist college at Baldwin, Kas., and later graduated from the Ohio-Weslyan University of Ohio. He was elected mayor in 1893 by the largest majority ever given a candidate for that position; he was also elected for the second term. Although assuming a legacy of $17000 debt and handicapped by the loss of fines from the saloons and other places his administration witnessed more public improvement throughout the city than ever before or since. Mr. Goodlander stands for city ownership of lighting and other franchises and there is no question that if elected the city will have one of the best administrations in its history. Goodlander stands for the common people and is known as their friend; is a staunch supporter and friend of the colored people, and no worthy enterprise, church or citizen has ever appealed to him in vain for a helping hand. And with such a man as the chief executive in any city or state, the common people should have no fears. Mr. Bass, of the Plaindealer Publishing Co. has been in the city during the week on business for the Plaindealer. Chester Savage was down last week to take the civil service examination. Several young colored men of Ft. Scott also took the examination among whom were Chas. Hickman and J. A. Wilkerson. The Smart Set club entertained for Guy William Allison, who recently returned from Maharry Medical College, where he has been studying medicine. A pleasant evening was spent. Andrew Hall, a member of the Smart Set, who has been employed at the Mo. Pacific depot for a number of years, has been promoted to a higher position at Wichita. He left for that place Saturday. Dr. A. B. McLemore is contemplating a visit to Michigan this summer to attend the grand circuit meeting. A red hot campaign is now on between the Republican and citizens ticket. P. C. Thomas, of the Khights and Ladies of Protection, was in the city this week on business for the order. We are making preparations to aint our church in the near future. Mrs. Celia Quarles, of Dover, Okla., is visiting her sick mother, Mrs. Dianna Duke. A play entitled "Rebecka's Triumph," will be given at the church next Wednesday night the 5th of April. Rev. B. C. Duke was called to Wathena last Sunday to preach the funeral of Mrs. Mary J. Beard, who died after an illness of about 18 months. CHICKASHA, I. T. The "Lord God" preacher is holding a series of meetings and expect to build soon. The "elite" entertained quite a number of persons at a banquet last Thursday night. Mrs. M. L. Brookins has returned from Oklahoma City after spending two weeks with her cousin, Mrs. M. E. Jenkins. Rev. D. W. Sims preached an able sermon at the A. M. E. church Sunday night. Sunday at 3 p. m. the Knights of Pythias marched from the hall to the A. M. E. church by the sweet music of the Chickasha colored band and Rev. I. H. Hawkins preached them an able annual sermon. The A. M. E. choir, under the direction of Mrs. Brookins, furnished excellent music during the service. Prof. B. Franklin, Abner, Misses Eula Vaughner, and Bertha Harding are making great preparations for the closing of school which will be in May. YALE. KAS. Rev. Smith is conducting a series of meetings at the A. M. E. church. Mrs. John Lewis' brother and family have moved here from the Territory. The K. P's annual sermon was preached by Rev.

The annual sermon of the Knights of Pythias No. 47 was preached at the A. M. E. church Sunday by Rev. Caldwell. Rev. W. H. Robinson, an evangelist, preached an excellent sermon at the A. M. E. church Sunday morning. Preceding the sermon his daughter sang a very appropriate solo "Is Your Signal Alright," which was enjoyed by all. Miss Lily Schumach, of Troy, spent Sunday in the city. Miss Schumach was on her way home from Lawrence, Kas., where she attended the Northeast Kansas Teachers' Association. Prof. Sims addressed the Sons of Allen Monday evening at their meeting. Jerry Grider, St. Joe's official chimney-sweep, quietly slipped over into Kansas and was married last week to his housekeeper Mrs. Tolson. NORTH TOPEKA Macedonia Tabernacle No. 93 is progressing nicely. The Twelve Star club will meet with Mrs. Ida M. Jordan 903 Western Ave. Monday evening April 3. The entertainment given by the Tabernacle last Saturday evening was a grand success. The wedding has been postponed from April 5th. Every member is requested to be present the 1st Thursday in April. Important business to be tended to. A Progressive Lawyer. Lawyer Townsend defended the interests of three different white men in court last week, and one this week, and won each case. Mr. Townsend's ability as a lawyer is being duly appreciated by white people as well as the colored people. Mr. Townsend says he has defended many a white man and woman since he has been in the city and gained for them their liberty, and has several to defend, whose cases will come up soon in the District court. Mr. Townsend told of a funny or peculiar case where race prejudice had to be overcome. He said that three young men whose only parent, a mother, lives in Texas, were charged with holding up passengers on the D. and R. G. R. R. Some of the property, a watch and some money, were found in the possession of the boys. Townsend was hired by the boys and they sent to their mother for the money to pay their attorney. She sent the money, but her brother told his sister that the boys' lawyer was a Negro. That made the mother angry, and she sent the boys word to return the money if they had a "nigger" lawyer and not to come home if they were liberated. The boys gave Townsend the money and he gave to them their freedom. The boys went home to tell their mother as they said they would, that even though he had owned slaves in Texas, the war is over, and that in the North a Negro is permitted to do what he has the ability to do, even though it be to help white men before the courts to obtain their liberty.—Pueblo, (Colo.) Times. SIERIFF'S SABE. In the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas. J. T. Ewing, Plaintiff, vs C. II. Nagle, Defendant.

A ton of butter is worth about $500 at average prices and it reduces the value of farm land by less than $1 says the Drovers' Journal. A ton of corn takes from the soil thirty-six pounds of nitrogen, eight pounds of potash and sixteen pounds of phosphoric acid. If it is sold these absolutely necessary elements of fertility are lost to the farm and must sooner or later be replaced, and at present prices at a cost of about $6. A ton of wheat takes from the soil forty-seven pounds of nitrogen, eleven pounds of potash and six-tenths of a pound of phosphoric acid, worth about $7.50. A ton of apples takes from the soil one and two-tenths pounds of potash and six-tenths of a pound of phosphoric acid. The total value of these amount to less than 30 cents and this represents absolutely all the loss to the soil of the farm. About three and a half pounds of every ton of apples sold off the farm come from the soil. The remainder is sunshine and water. Corn may be fed on the farm and turned into pork, beef or mutton, and about 85 per cent of the fertilizing elements turned back to the soil. Wheat is usually sold and it is an exhaustive crop on a farm, as the wornout wheat sections of the country show. The Potato of the Future. A new potato is being grown in Uruguay in the valley of the Mercedes river. It is purpish-green in color and is said to be so far superior to the common "Irish" tuber in flavor and in yield that it is destined to drive all other varieties from the market—eventually. Horticulturists say that the tuber is probably the result of a horticultural accident. Claim is made that it is immune to the diseases which ordinarily afflict potatoes, but whether or not it can resist the operations of the primory potato bug is not stated. There is no vegetable to the improvement of which more attention has been devoted than has been bestowed upon the potato. It has been mainly, however, for increasing the size of the tuber and to augment the yield. Flavor has been almost wholly ignored, and, as a consequence, the potatoes of to-day have less flavor than those which our grandfathers ate fifty years ago. Furthermore, all of the market varieties taste pretty much alike, whereas formerly there were recognizable differences.—Farm Magazine. Leaves of Cow Peas. It has been found that the leaves of cow peas are twice as rich in protein as are the fine stems of the plants, and very much more so than are the coarse stems of the plants. It therefore follows that the plant that will produce the most leaves is the plant that is of most value to the grower. The leaves, too, are more digestible than are the stems, and this is another factor in favor of the leaves. There are numerous varieties of cow peas and these differ immensely as to their habits of growth. The variety that will furnish the largest number of leaves is the best one, provided the man that grows the cow peas is careful enough in the curing to keep the leaves on the stems so they will not be lost. This is a good subject to be considered at farmers' institutes this winter. Drain Your Field Some low places in our fields are frequently not well drained. By the thawing of snow and the usual fall of cold rains in the early spring, these places become flooded, when the more elevated portions of the fields remain dry and are ready for early seeding. A sheet of standing water in these low places does not permit the sun's rays to penetrate it and the soil below it. Consequently the frost remains longer in such soil than it would if the water were drained off in time. The result is that the soil remains cold and seeding of grain is considerably retarded. Likewise the chances for good crops the following year are not as good as if the grain had been seeded earlier in the spring. By all means make provision for properly draining the low places in your field before the ground freezes. Potato Scab The potato tubers are often made rough and scabby by the growth of the disease on their surfaces. These injuries vary from a rough or russeted appearance to deep scabs or ulcers that greatly injure the appearance of the potato. Singularly enough, soab is more common in the best potato soil than it is in localities where the crop is precarious. Sandy or gravelly soils, when first brought under cultivation, often give a large per cent of scabby potatoes, but after one or more crops of alfalfa have been plowed under, this tendency is partially corrected. Michigan Farmer. Nitrogen Costly. Nitrogen is the most costly element in feeds for animals on the farm. The nitrogenous or protein foods make bone, muscle, hair, wool, eggs, milk, etc., and it is this class of foods that is most lacking on most farms. Good dairymen and breeders make up this deficiency by supplying nitrogen and have practically solved the question of profitable agriculture which all the scientists in the country have thus far failed to do through 'the department of agriculture.—Baraum's Midland Farmer.

At a big public meeting here Tuesday evening at the True Eleven hall the colored people of Atchison, by a unanimous vote endorsed to the letter the stand taken by THE PLAINDEALER against Gov. Hoch for the stab he gave the colored people in the back and his oily excuse for signing the separate High School bill for Kansas City. The colored people here had heard two or three wise ones, for reasons known to themselves, self-appointed, had gone to the governor to disavow the burning words of THE PLAINDEALER and to inform this "son of a good abolitionist" that these burning words did not represent the sentiment of the majority or the better element of colored people. We, over here, are not asking for an office from Gov. Hoch; have no schemes of any friends to safeguard and, therefore, say "send your Negro hirelings over here with their chestnut speeches now or at the next campaign and you will find out whether or not THE PLAINDEALER voiced the sentiment of the Atchison Negroes. The Negro vote at the city election next Tuesday will be divided as never before. Some people who are doing their own thinking, as Judge Adams, Republican candidate for Judge of the City Court, praised them for doing, are not going to swallow the candidate for mayor on the Republican ticket. Mr. Walker has scratched for reasons satisfactory to himself. Every Negro nominated for an office, wherein he could feed his family, has been scratched to death by white Republicans. This did not make them Democrats and now by the power of the God who made them some of the colored people Good Citizenship. No president in the history of our country ever spoke more clearly upon good citizenship than Roose velt. In his address to the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, March 17th, his definition of Americanism ought to be memorized by every patriotic citizen in the country. He said: "Americanism is not a matter of creed or birthplace or descent. That man is the best American who has in him the American spirit, the American soul. Such a man fears not the strong and harms not the weak, He scorns what is base or cruel or dishonest. He looks beyond the accident of occupation or social condition, and hails each of his fellow citizens as his brother, asking him nothing save that each shall treat the other on his worth as a man, and that they shall join together to do all that in them lies for the uplifting of this mighty and vigorous people." These words are true as truth. He thinks a real American a freeman, indeed, and in truth is too great to be mean, fearing not the strong and harming not the weak. These words express the creed of the common brotherhood of man—the ideal toward which all mankind has been always striving, yet never fully attaining. Every secret organ- are going to do some scratching. This is where it starts and will end only when better treatment is accorded us. We have nothing to lose when Republicans are making "Black Laws." Some of the colored voters are treating each other decently, while some are shouldering the white man's fight with the usual smartness. The white man will walk into office, get all the milk, cream and money and lock arms next day. Some of the colored men will get nothing, and never did, will be cross at each other for quite awhile. How long will this weakness last? The Blind Boone concert will be at Ebenezer Baptist church next Tuesday night. Rev. Terrell is getting along nicely with his rally. Rev. Matt. S. Jones has purchased a home at 726 Division. Rev. J. W. Wilson is doing well with his church at Leavenworth. The Colored Republiican Club will have a big meeting and a feast at the True Eleven hall Monday night. They send their sympathy to the Kansas City Colored Republican club which is also battling for the rights of the Negro race. A white man can speak lightly of our women and he can get some colored men to defend him. In these days of tribulation we need even the friendship of Democrats. Don't the Negroes in the South need it? How are we to get it? Must we forever hang the red shirt in "the Bull's face?" White Republicans have stopped it and lett us to the bull's vengeance.

Apply at Industrial Institute east of the city. ization is founded upon the thoughts so tersely spoken by the president, every church is praying for the world's attainment of this long hoped for state of perfection. Mr. Roosevelt voices the universal prayer of "God our Father, Chist our Savior, man our brother, "which is to usher in the millenium. This hope is not divorced from true liberty, but is the very essence and spirit of the Declaration of Independence. It breathes the spirit of ideal Americanism, the wish that drove a new nation across the sea to transform as if by magic, the wilderness into the precincts of civilization. If this doctrine announced by the third iconoclast that has occupied the chief magistrate's chair could be practically realized, the Negro problem would be solved. If our country could but see that what men of every class most need is to be treated upon their worth as men, then the complicated questions that now vex and annoy us would be easily settled. Strife and contention would be forgotten, the army, known as the working class, would not be compelled to be constantly on the alert with the cry in their hearts, "Eternal vigilance is the price of economic liberty." But get the world to practice the ideas of our president and most of the sorrows of life would melt away like frost before the rising sun.

There was a great out-pouring of Knights of Pythias and members of the Court of Calanthe at Lawrence last Sunday. The annual sermon was preached at St. Luke's A. M. E. church by the pastor, Rev. J. F. Sage. Excelsior Lodge No. 3, and Prince Albert Court No. 85, of Topeka took a special coach over the U. P., under the management of W. W. Plumb and Walter Evans. In all, about forty went from Topeka to join Wester Star No.1 and Queen Victoria, No.25, Court of Calanthe. Music was furnished by the church choir assisted by two instruments, a clarionet and piano played by Mesdames King and Copeland, who rendered excellent music. Mr. Plumb was master of ceremonies and the first speaker was the Hon. H. I. Monroe, who spoke on "Pythianism" and gave some wholesome thoughts for consideration. He showed how comrades can strengthen themselves by the emulation of Damon and Pythias, and we know of no better object lesson to draw from than these two men. Hon. James H. Guy was next introduced and gave a beautiful illustration on the public demonstration of friendship. He made a strong impression upon his auditors when he referred to "pure friendship" and how much good can be accomplished by it. The annual sermon followed by the Rev. Sage, who took for his text the eighteenth chapter of Job. He reviewed the passage of scripture upon the "friendship" of a brother, and said all good societies come from the Bible. He said that the frienpship of Damon and Pythias should be so binding that they never should try to escape the friendship of each other. He advised the members that the best way to show their friendship is while they are in the bloom of health and not after death, and that the member who had to be fined to make him perform his duty toward a sick brother or sister is not worthy of knighthood. He advised young and old to unite with the order, to strengthen and build up each other not only in secret societies, but in a general and business way; that the colored people in Lawrence were too far apart along this line and that there was scarcely any business carried on there among them on account of pesty jealousy. It was a soul-stirring sermon and from an intellectual as well as moral point, was as strong a sermon as we ever heard delivered to a secret organization. At the conclusion of the sermon, to the surprise of most all present, the master of ceremonies announced to the Grand Worthy Counsel that Mrs. L. Williams, treasurer of the Grand Court would come forward and pay over to Mrs. Williams, mother of Miss Harvey, (deceased) the sum of $126. On account of being ill, Mrs. Williams was absent and the money was paid over to her son, W. A. Harvey. This part of the program was not expected and was somewhat of a surprise to see all of this money counted on the table in payment of a death claim to an old feeble mother for whom her deceased daughter was thoughtful enough to provide. This was a gratification to the members at Lawrence, and it was heard on all sides that before many months, there would be a large addition to the membership of the Court of Calan-the. A collection of $18 was taken which was divided between the minister and the church. The Lawrence uniform rank will certainly make a strong team. They led the grand procession from the hall on Massachusetts street to the church. Mrs. Ida Wallace is Worthy Counsel of Queen Victoria, No. 25. R L. Skearce of Prince Albert, No. 85 and Prof. G. W.

The Prodigal Mother We have heard a great deal about the Prodigal Son. But a prominent divine says that the Prodigal mother deserves attention, because through her the first cloud of sorrow settled upon the Christian church at the very inception of the organization in the untimely and cruel death of John the Baptist. And as we study that incident and the life of Herodias, we see that a prodigal mother will some- WANTED!

Address LILLARD SAUNDERS, Dodge City, Kans NOTICE. To the stockholders of the Indian Territory Land Coal and Development company: We have the best coal in the country with a 3½ foul vein We met J. H. Hoard, the superintendent, who resides near the mine at Henrietta, and who is now controller of a section of land, and is waiting to continue the development of the mines. Remember we have over $1000 invested in these mines. Those who hold out will have plenty of ready cash if we invest it. No one need expect to get rich on a four or five dollar investment. Since we leased, another railroad is building across our lease. We are negotiating to complete our lease, which we were wrongfully kept out of all these months. Good things come to those who never give up but work to succeed. If we could only interest a few Negroes who can raise from $50 to $200 each, we could soon accomplish this great undertaking, but it seems that the Negro who has a dollar in cash would rather give it to some prejudiced white man who cares nothing for him or his children than to invest it where he might give employment to his own race. There are millions in the Indian Territory for the progressive Negro, and not a penny for the bigoted fool and idle loafer. The farmer is conceived over what little he has, and is afraid he might lose a dollar or benefit some one else of the race by investing in race enterprises. We have found few Negroes who have money who will assist in paving the way to make places for their own children. Those who want a sure thing and mean business should write us concerning this great enterprise. We do not want skeptics or doubting Thomases. N. CHILES, Pres. J. Hume Childers, Sec.y. times by her influence dominate the state and cripple the church. Mothers are everywhere acknowledged to be the greatest forces for either good or evil in our civilization. Whoever becomes a wife reaches the position of highest honor. In God's plan and arrangement there is no higher position. If a woman, therefore, falls from this she sinks to the lowest degradation. The married woman who is untrue is of more injury to society than a single woman. "What can be done for the prodigal mother? Society should recognize its own responsibility in the making of criminals. The state has no moral right to license the making of drunkards any more than it has a moral right to license gambling. Whether or not criminals and people who suffer with constitutional disorders should be allowed to marry or should be isolated in homes upon scientific principles is a great question which scientists, criminologists, statesmen and moralists will all have to consider more seriously in the future. But this we know—no soul should be left to perish in its sins. The prodigal mother may be saved. Let us remember that God chooses often the foolish things of the world and the things that are weak and despised and the base things to accomplish His purposes of wisdom and love and to illustrate the richness and freeness of His grace. BOYNTON, I. T. Shortly after ten o'clock Sunday night Scott Bros.' livery barn was burned. The horses were all saved and the most of the other property. The firm is colored but white and colored both did all they could to save property. There are four livery barns here, three of which are run by colored men. Joe Cherry has opened a good one. Two of these are run by natives and a third is mixed in ownership. The ladies of the A. M. E. church gave a novel and very interesting entertainment at the city hall on the 24th. There was a musical and literary program and a Japanese wedding. Miss Mattie R. Jefferson was called home from Langston University this week on account of the illness of her mother Mrs. J. J.

There is no excuse for their hang- ing around living off their parents and deadbeatiog their friends, There are too many girls and boys who do not care to work, and a great number who work do not save any of their hard-earned wages. If this state of affairs continues toexiat, we do not know what will be the salva- vation ofthe race. The law seeme to belax relating to vagrants. All grown, robust and healthy young mea should be compelled to work or walk. Loafing breeds crime and brings that class into disrepute. There seems to be a concertedaction onthe part of a large minozity of the young Negroes to avoid work They render all sorts of excuses and complaints to keep from werk. The law should lay hands upoe them and march them toa place ofim- prisonment, where they would be compelled to work; or else they should be compelled to leave the city. We cannot stand it any longer; something must be done. There are too many idle young women luafing the streets and dodg- ing the corners im the night time. ‘The police department should be- come more diligent, and seize them and either compel them to work and find respectable homes to live in, as well as to make themselves respecta- ble and their community and those with whom they associate. There isa great demand for good cooks, good wash women; this is about ald this class would attempt to do, and wedoubt very sincerely whether they would accomplish much at this, as they seem to be very slovenly, un- tidy and slack of manners, This class of women should not be allow- ed to walk thesstreets of any respect- able city. Keep them off the street, hide them from the eyes of the pub- lhe. Let them secure work. Let them learn it. There is another class of young girls who assume to earn their live- lihood by domestic work, yet they cannot do this successfully because of keeping late hours seven nights in a week, which unfits them for rer- | vice, and leads them to become un- truthful, often giving the excuse that their relatives were ill or that their corns and bunions hurt them go that they could not put their shoes on. This class, also should be looked after. These false representatives ofthe race work a hardship upon that class of people who are doing all in thesr power to uplift themselves aswell as others. To have this worthless class of no-account Ne- groes weighting them down is too much of aload to carry. Theres plenty of work on the farm. Sum- mer is near at hand, grass is getting green, the Jeaves are putting forth, the birds are softly and sweetly sing- ing; why should not these young Negroes go te work and earn a liv- ing? This class of people are loud- mouthed, uncouth, and can be heard for blocks on the streets yelling at the top of their voices about mat- ters that concern nobody and are of no benefit to themselves—a nuisance to decent, respectable people who wish to live and be Jet alone. Let some method be used toinduce them to work. Our old foretathers bave worn themselves out trying to educate and uplift this ungrateful epmeneven Ciinene ome. ‘idiom Dcsoifinen th dren, but allow themselves and their homes to be controlled by them.

A prominent citizen died and a truthful editor wrote him up as follows: Died—Friday, June 9th, Mr. Close Fisted, of greediness and pure cussedness. He was a member of no church, but was highly esteemed by himself, and he worshipped at the shrine of the almighty dollar.

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 uson account of our condition. Through the efforts of this paper and Several friends we have had stricken from the calendar the bill 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 3oth, 1905. It seems tous that this legisiature, consisting of reformers, has made a special effort to thwart the will and impede the progress of the color- ed people. There never wasa legislature in Kansas that ever attempted to enact such infam- ous black Jaws in all of her his- tory as a State, notwithstanding committees appointed by the various colored organizations if the state called upon the goven- orand Speaker Stubbs, chair- man of the state central com- mittee and asked them to do what was in their power to pre- vent such legislation. They went so far as to promise this duringthe campaign. How well they have kept their promise we can see by the Kansas City bill. With the assistance of B. P. Waggener, Cy Leland, W. S.

Educators and reformers from all quarters of the world sat down together yesterday at a luncheon at the City Club in West Forty-fourth street, given by Robert Erskine Ely for Booker T. Washington. Mr. Washigton was the guest in this city of District Attorney Jerome, and before attending the luncheon spoke before an audience of wealthy persons $hat crowded Berkeley Lyceum, making a plea for a better understanding between the whites and Negroes. Eighteen covers were set for the luncheon at the City Club. Baron Kaneko, a member of the Legisls- tive Assembly of Japan, sat at the left of Mr. Washington. Mr. Washington and Mr. Jerome gave short and informal talks after the luncheon, and Dr, Yamei Kin, whose wife was present in native costume, told of the growing rela- tions between Japan and America. “IIe epake also this parable: A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard: and he came and sought fruit thereon and found none, “Then he said unto the dresser of his vineyard, ‘Behold! these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree and find none; cut it down. Why cumbereth it the ground?” For the first time the decorum of the Rockefeller Bible class wae disturbed today. Members broke into loud laughter and handclap- ping. It was caused by Booker T. Washington, who took John D. Rodkefeller’s place as leader. The attendance was the class record. Mr. Washington was late in arriv- ing. When he arose he said he did not know how much time the class had to listen to him, _ “And that reminds me,” he said, of an ineident that occurred down South. A negro was feeding corn tohis pigs when a white professor came along, He asked the Negro why he did not wet the corn before he fed it to the pigs. ‘If youdo., he said, ‘it will digest in half the time.” The Negro, looking up at the professor, said: ‘Say, boss, can you tell me whata pig's time is worth?’ ” The members of the élags looked at each other in mute astonishment, For an instant there was dead silence, and then, with common accord they broke into loud laughter. ‘lL aseure you, gentlemen there is application in that story,” contin- ued Mr. Washington. He then spoke on the parable of the fig tree, saying: «The lesson to be learned is to avoid being negative and especially in religious work. I detest a nega- tive Christian.

THE BEAUTY POINTS OF GLOSSINE. ‘Aaixis cheap and actions ie louder than words, In order to Prove to the public that Glogsine 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 Glossine was not the best hair tonic in allthe whole wide world this offer would bankrupt ue. Glossine (Queen of all hair tonics) is the most wonderful remedy for the human hair ever discovered and has astounded the whole world by ite 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, 2 beautiful and attractive woman who ix 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 wow 58 years of age she scarcely looksyto be 30. ‘When asked by what mediums she had been able to so successfully pre- serve the attractiveness and beauty of youth, Miss 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’ Iadvise. 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 has 80 bounteously bestowed upon us there are hundreds of innocent mediums which after my long life ‘of study and investigation 1 have been able to successfully blend and formulate into various preparations which enhance and preserve the life | and beauty of the hairand skin. 1, 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 I have never known it to fuil to cause, the hair to grow long, straight, soft and luxurious. It matters not how’ harsh 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 Inster. length, life and beauty and no head of hair can Le so harsh and refractory but that Glursine will make it so pliant aud wavy that it can be dressed with ease in any prevailing style desired. It will restore gray hair to its former color, make the hair grow out on all bald spots and on the temples where the hair is usually thin and unsightly.” Glossine is highly, sweetly and most delicately perfamed, and its color and subsist-| ‘ency is very attractive to all. Sce- ing our great success and with the desire to trade upon our reputation | gained by long years of honest deal- ing, numerous unscrupulous firms are trying to fool the people into buying spurious and harmful com- pounds for the hair and skin. ‘That causes the hair to fall, thus causing baldnessand ruin, mar and deface the delicate texture of the human skin. Intheir wicked desire to gain money these people do not hesitate to sell the people many preparations which are dangerous to life iteclf. In order to discountenance and con- demn such dishonest metbode. Miss Martin has decided to give a full size package of Glossine to any reader of the paper, male or female, who willsend their name and ad- drese. Do not delay. Write to- day. A postal card willdo. We willalso send our catalog which describes in detail our hair tonice, face bleaches and other toilet requi- sites. Address . R68. Tews Bam: PUBLICATION NOTICE.

An outrage was committed on a young fourteen old girl east of town a few days ago by Jimmy McClane, 2 white boy. He was arrested and put in jail but after the matter had been gone over, his parents came into court and swore that he was under age and had him sent to the Reform School, the pretext being also that he is an imbecile. If this is the case, he should be pbaced in that kind of an institution. This is one of the most heinous and revolting offences committed in along time and we are not surprised at our daily paper not placing this in big head lines, but had it been the reverse, it would have been, “A burly black brute” with glaring bead lines saying, ‘“threat- ened to be lynched.” O, Heavens, how long will this kind of hypoc risy and deceit be carried on among civilized people.

Women “Butt In.” Boston Guardian: | A female church committee has succeeded in creating excitement in stirring up racial antipathy, and inmaking a newsp.per sensation by interfering with the private affairs of two highly respectable young people in New Bedford, Mass., who are engaged to be married. The cause of all this pernicious activity is color prejudice, the young woman being white and the young man being colored. As an exhibition of such we publish the history of the case so far as reported in the daily press, with some facte ef our own. In last Sunday’s New Bedford Times and in Menday’s Boston Journal, which latter paper has been very busy on the case, this re- port was published under glaring and prejudicial headlines: “A committee of women from the St, James Episcopal church has been appointed to prevent the mar tiage of Lewis Morris (colored) o: Maxfield street, to Miss Flossie Ed warde, (white), said to be one of the most beautiful girls in the city.”” | Frederick Edwards, a brother o thegirl, now a etudent in Harvarc Medical school, is said to have de .jclared to a friend that he woul | stop the marriage if he had to use : gun. .| Both Morris and Miss Edward | are employed at the Fairhaven Atla ,| Tack corporation. ) STIRRED UP THE CHURCH. -| The affair has caused a big sens: .{tion in church circles and in th -|factory where it has been the on subject of discnssion, Members o the girls employed there, one of whom is Miss Edwards. He isa dapper colored man about five feet seven inches tall with good features, a slight mustache and dresses neat- ly. Miss Edwards was a prominent member of the St. James Episcopal | church untila few weeks ago, and, wasa member of the Girla’ Friendly society, an organization attached to the church. She bore the best of reputations and when it was whis. pered among the congregation that she was keeping company withand intended to marry a coal black Negro it was hardly believed. Acommittee was appointed to investigate the charge and report the matter. Mrs. Lydia E, Smith of 334 Pleasant street was the head of the committee. Before interviewing the girl the committee and members ~ of the church rode to the factory in the street cars, and in their reports de- clared that they had seen Miss Ed- wards riding in an early car incom- pany with Morris. It was discovered by the com- mittee that she took a car earlier than required that she might be with him, and one of the committee who was at the factory during din- ner hour, avowed that the couple ate together and that Miss Edwards shared her meal with her colored lover. Morris denies the charge of the committee that he is 2 married man with < wife and two children living in Taunton, and says they cannot support such a charge. While Mies Edwards was missing from the city she was a guest at her colored sweetheart’s home on Pratt street. Miss Edwards is determin- ed to marry Morris just as much as her parents are determined sheshall not, and Morris is equally determin- ed to marry the girl. Mrs. Edwards came to Taunton today and thanked the city clerk for not issuing a licence. «Florence is at home now,” said Mre. Edwards to a Journal reporter “and she will not marry that color- ed man, whether she wants to or not. STILL SEEKING MARRIAGE LICENSE. Taunton, March 22.—Lewis Morris, the young colored man whose engagement to Flossie Ed- wards, a white girl, created no little excitement in New Bedford and other places, still is seeking to obtaina marriage licence in some nearby city and is not disheartened by bis non-success in obtaining the necessary papers from City Clerk Edwin A. Tetlow of this city. Morris, whose parents live in this city, and whose appearance in pre- possessing, applied for a marriage license, has always borne a good reputation and was prominent in religious circles, It ig understood that he has been keeping company with Mies Edwards for more than a year, although but few knew of it. The Guardian finds that Miss Ea wards isa young woman of good | Christian character, utterly devoid of color prejudice. She is a fond |friend of Miss Georgietta Johnstor of Boston, She is very pretty. || Morris is an exemplary young man | whose home is in Taunton, wher ,| he bears an excellent reputation anc [has been a church worker, Hii ,| parents are respected and own som property. His sister is a singer o' An Appeal. Te the Public: The Colored Orphans’ Home As- sociation has had a very hard strug- gle to keep up payments on its property on Chandler street. 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 alack 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. This association is now forced to appeal to the charitable people te assiet in raising enough money to pay off the debte in order to save the property.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. any proposition that is for the interest of our young women. She is enthused over the advancement of the girls, and the mothers of those who attend this institution can well be proud of Mrs. Yates. She is president of the Woman's league, the object of which is to organize the mothers of this country in one solid phalanx for the advancement of their daughters. The women of the United States should respond to her call, and keep in close touch with her. We met most of the lady instructors of the various departments, and from what we saw of them and the deportment of their pupils, we must say that the faculty of Lincoln institute is very strong. They have given several concepts for the entertainment of the members of the legislature, which created much interest in the institute and its work. Prof. Allen has succeeded in creating a strong friendly feeling among the J. B. state officers and the members of the legislature, and is showing them the necessity of appropriating means to further the education of the colored youths of Missouri. A majority of the members visited the institution and were so favorably impressed with what they saw that they appropriated $77,000 for the purpose of building a maintenance, which is MRS. JOSEPHINE SI $15,000 more than was ever appropriated in the history of the institution. The superintendent of agriculture contemplates training more young men along agricultural lines than has been done heretofore. It is deemed more profitable to educate our youth along this line, because it is one of the solid and substantial walks of life, and the more well-trained agriculturalists the race can claim, the more rapidly it will grow. One of the most amusing incidents that drew our attention and struck us most forcibly was a dozen little youngsters ranging from six to fourteen years of age seated on benches, armed with hammers, making and repairing shoes. We thought it looked too cute for anything, and they seemed to enjoy their work. We were told by the instructor. Chas. F. Hoskins, that the boys seemed to develop along this line very rapidly and this is shown by their work. If more of our parents would keep their boys off the streets and try to enter them in such an institution as this, where they can learn some trade first and then receive an academic training, it would keep many of them from the reformatory and the penitentiary. We were pleased to meet our old fellowtownsman, A. L. Reynolds, A. B., who as superintent of the industrial department and instructor in machinery, is certainly doing great work in developing the young men in his department. The superintendent knows his business, and well does he look to it. The following is the faculty for 1904-5, who are preparing the children of our race to combat with all kinds of conditions in life; Benjamin Franklin Allen, A. M., Ph. D., Pres., Ethics, Psychology and Pedagogy. James H. Garnett, A. M., D. D., Latin and Greek Languages and Literature. Grant S. Murray, A. B., Physical Sciences. James S. Moten, A. M., Mathematics. John Wesley Damel, M. Ph., Biology and Agriculture. Mrs. Josephine Silone Yates., A. M., English, History and Drawing. Mrs. Frances J. Jackson, History, Pedagogy; in charge of Training School. Otts M. Shackleford, A. B., assistant in English and Mathematics. Romeo A. West, B. S. D., Secretary and Librarian. Carrie M. Carney, Vocal and Instrumental Music. Florence G. Pigeon, B. S.

Miss Willa Smith, the genial and pleasant agent of THE PLAIN- DEALER, is in town Miss Smith says she enjoys coming to collect, as Leavenworthians respond so readily and generously. Miss Hattie Walton, teacher in Garrison school at Kansas City, Mo., visited her mother Saturday and Sunday. We noticed quite a number of the "elect" attending the course of lectures given in the assembly hall of the High school. This speaks well for the literary taste of our people. The south side Ladies' Aid of the A. M. E. church met at Mrs. A. Gibson's last Friday from 3 to 10 p. m., and served a luncheon. It was a success financially and socially, as Mrs. Gibson and daughter, Ada, are delightful hostesses. Mrs. William Mitchell of 630 Michigan avenue entertained Mesdames A. M. Wilson and O. A. Harris Wednesday. After dinner the ladies spent the time with their art work and the discussion of "The One Woman," by Thomas Dixon, Jr. We did not learn whether the ladies have socialistic opinions or not. The pedagoges all attended the N. E. A. at Lawrence last week. All report a good time, and are highly pleased over the gracious way in which the Lawrence people received them. In intellect, culture and dress, Leavenworth was on the front seat as nsual. The north side Ladies' Aid is progressing nicely with Mrs. R. Smith at the helm. The Sunflower Baptist church will give a grand rally Sunday, April 2. Everybody come out and help carry on the good work.

The entertainment given by the Carnation Art ladies last Friday evening for the purpose of raising money for charity work was quite successful. Mr. and Mrs. C. C.
